Watching the COVID memorial this evening I realized how necessary solemn ritual is in our national life, and how utterly absent it has been these last four years. Because solemnity requires leaders to yield the focus of attention.
But grief is necessary. Remembrance is necessary. Sharing a sense of vulnerability is necessary.

It is encouraging to see political violence is still massively unpopular. I've been afraid it would be something like 20-30% support, which would mean we're in for a long period of unrest. But this looks to me like there's a good chance of successfully suppressing it.

Ahem.
You sense that so-called "chaotic energy" only because your spirit has been SOILED by lesser editors. And GUIs. And <gack> *monitors.*
It is not your fault .The WORLD HAS STRAYED from the one TRUE path.
ed is the standard editor.
It is not too late.
Save yourself.
Use ed(1).
So sad to hear of the passing of @pla... His cheery presence in this space helped make it such a welcome alternative to other platforms, and I looked forward to his rides and the lovely photoblog that depicted them. Rest in peace, friend.
So sad to hear the news about Patrick @pla.
I never got to know Patrick personally but he was one of those people who inspired others like me just by being the person he was and sharing that positivity. I will miss you my friend.
