Cats, trains, climate change, human stupidity — One time a train got lost. You would think these things don’t happen, but somehow the engineer and all the passengers, who thought they were going to Omaha, found themselves in Maui instead. Maui was not expecting them. I’m taking Amtrak next time. I haven’t won the lottery, but now…

Even in Kansas, they disagree — Are you happy that Kansas voters, who voted for Trump by 15 points, just also voted to prevent their idiot Republican legislature from outlawing abortion by almost 20 points (59 to 41)? Well, I am. The Republican dog finally caught the car. Five moron “conservative” Supreme Court justices finally did…

And how the victory of a free people may happen yet — None of us even know how to express our horror anymore. We lived in a world that thought it had left the violence of its ignominious past behind.
