I’m pissed off. “tHe lAw AnD OrDeR pArtY” said they’re ignoring the Supreme Court’s order to return Abrego Garcia to the US. They kidnapped him from his wife and kid and sold him off to a torture prison in El Salvador. They can do this to anyone and it’s your word against theirs. No due process.
I am currently safe from the SoCal earthquake. Definitely felt it, but no damage.
Coachella does a pretty good job with these YouTube livestreams. Watching the replay of Jimmy Eat World now and looking forward to Darkside later. https://coachella.com/youtube-livestream.

Another great read from Julia Doubleday on understanding the eugenics in RFK’s “MAHA” movement:
“It’s critical for people to learn the internal logic of MAHA in order to effectively organize against it, because if you are critical of anti-vaxxers while adopting some of their talking points and central concepts, you ultimately boost their world view. You may be up to date on your vaccines, but do you sneer at the idea that you could end up with Long COVID? Do you refuse to mask because you assume every person harmed by COVID is inferior to you, with your superior eating habits and commitment to the gym? Do you ignore advocates who organize for institutional mitigations like better quality indoor air, because you believe that people who die from COVID don’t really matter the way you do?”
— Gauntlet News, “RFK Jr.’s ‘MAHA’ movement doesn't want to eliminate chronic illness. They want to eliminate the chronically ill.”
Hahah, I was just reminded of this interaction on Twitter with Phil Vischer, the creator of VeggieTales. I wanted to make a copy for posterity:
Keith Andrew: “Good God man, what kind of woke idiot have you devolved into. What’s next? Trans Veggie Tales where Veggies come out as fruit?”
Phil Vischer: “Botanically speaking, cucumbers and tomatoes are, in fact, fruit. Sorry about that.”

Watched What’s Up, Doc? for IndieWeb Movie Club. Very funny and a stellar cast. I was surprised to see a young Randy Quaid in there!
The ocean feels like magic to me sometimes. Helps me feel grounded. Glad you got to go.
