Ten AND braces. Sheesh. (Please let her know to be on the lookout for her late card…at least I got one out this year. Perhaps next year I will be together enough to send one AND have it be ON TIME.)

Destroying planets and using fear of this battle station to keep the local systems in line was my No. 1 passion until — about 30 seconds ago, weirdly! That was when I saw the X-wings that had evaded our turbo-lasers and were proceeding down a trench toward our vulnerable thermal exhaust port — and realized I had to speak up. I thought: What if remorselessly destroying planets isn’t my passion? What if my real passion is staying alive and avoiding the consequences of my actions?
This is from a couple of days ago but I've been crashing on a big project at work, and it still makes me laugh.

The President of the American Federation of Teachers issued a formal statement on Betsy DeVos' resignation today.

The New York Times has posted an absolutely incredible investigation and recreation of the shooting death of Breonna Taylor. Using body cam footage, newly released records, and after-accident interviews, they show how the police detail who broke her door down made multiple careless mistakes and endangered her life and the lives of her neighbors by blindly shooting into a darkened apartment without announcing who they were or why they were there. This is 18 minutes worth watching.
Ten AND braces. Sheesh. (Please let her know to be on the lookout for her late card…at least I got one out this year. Perhaps next year I will be together enough to send one AND have it be ON TIME.)
