I’ve fallen in love with the Japanese literary form, zuihitsu.
Zuihitsu, meaning “following the brush,” flow as the mind flows. They are fragmentary—mixing moments of observation, opinion, anecdote, asides, and humor. From the contemporary point of view zuihitsu refuse categorization, vibrating in the live space between prose and poetry.

On Friday, Judge Boasberg ordered the administration to submit declarations by December 5
from all officials involved in the decision not to return the flights to the U.S.
He said he will then decide whether to seek testimony from witnesses.
The declarations should detail the officials’ roles in the decision, the judge said in the brief order.
Justice Department attorneys had urged him to abandon the probe,
but Boasberg said he must determine whether Homeland S…

Can you do a favor for my friend @…? He was already having a lousy enough week with his car and his city falling apart when state troopers arrested his wife @… for protesting against the murder of Alex Pretti. (Arrested for what? AFAICT, they were just looking to make an example of some protestors. Just good old harassment via the legal system.)
Now the family has lost work and impending legal bills on top of that new transmission. I’m sure they’d appreciate it if you can chip in a few bucks:

Maybe I don't have to prefer a season? Yes, I guess I just call myself lucky that I can enjoy every season.

A serene and contemplative winter scene unfolds atop a snow-covered mountain peak. The peak, blanketed in a thick layer of pristine white snow, rises gently against a backdrop of evergreen trees, their branches heavy with fresh snowfall. The trees create a natural frame, adding depth and a sense of solitude to the scene. At the summit, a large metal cross stands prominently, its surface lightly dusted with snow. The cross, a symbol of reflection and tranquility, adds a sense of reverence and q…

The Trump administration is going to restrict the number of refugees it admits into the United States next year to the token level of just 7,500
– and those spots will mostly be filled by white South Africans.
The low number represents a dramatic drop after the US previously allowed in hundreds of thousands of people
fleeing war and persecution from around the world

US will limit number of refugees to 7,500 and give priority to white South Africans
