Now I know why I stick to simple, inane subjects that I understand for the most part.

Just when I think the political underworld can’t be any more grotesque and surreal than it already is, I learn about groypers.  Charlie Kirk wasn’t fascist enough?!  Virtual war games are being re-enacted in real time, not only against the usual suspects (leftists and marginalized groups), but fellow-christian fascists who aren’t extreme enough.

I’m going back to the garden.

Erev was interesting.  It came down to just Avdi, Y, and me, because K was sick and E was out participating in school EC activities.  Y raised some very intelligent questions and points about political, societal, and coming-of-age issues, leading to a lively and relevant discussion.  I learned some things, too.  Kids are paying attention.  These are the times I feel privileged to be around for.
