Really a heady week for me. The culture war discussion after Charlie Kirk's assasination and the Trump reaction filled my brain, and I don't watch enough news to grab relevant Trump quotes and post them here, but I may. It's getting to be it's most disgusting - the man has zero moral fiber and he plays the dumb thug beautifully. I hope we survive. Robert Redford was a guy I aspired to be. I watch his performance in All the Presidents Men as a kind of meditiation and salve on the character and work ethic I want to demonstrate. His death was overshadowed to the point where it felt forgotten, but then Chris shared this clip from Kimmel interviewing Ethan Hawke that resonated, so here's a minute and a half of that. Do the good that you have the power to do. This lone mushroom popped up this morning. Fall is coming. Link to the post.
