    Finally halfway through David J. Garrow's monumental (1,078-page) "Rising Star: The Making of Barack Obama," which I've been reading for nearly 3 months. It's informative yet thorough. I'm alternating it with Howard S. Becker's "Art Worlds," a sociology of art classic from 1982.

    Next month, before Easter, should do a re-enactment of the Lord's Supper in Zap Brannigan's voice. I can almost hear it now—"Take, eat, this is my baw-day" [Kif sigh].

    I've been pretty much defaulting to either Kamala or Warren for 2020 (although Warren would be a great cabinet member)—but damn if Buttigieg isn't impressive and catching my attention. Executive experience, plus a clear willingness and ability to learn—what's not to like?

    Also, because of a weird quirk in Idaho laws—the age (and other) portions of statutory rape do not apply in cases of marriage—child marriage is occasionally used as a way to cover over a rape/pregnancy, with disastrous results for the young [often] woman.

    Succinctly put. Example in my state (Idaho): Legislators voted against a bill closing the child-marriage loophole (a child under 16 can be married with parental and judicial approval) because of concerns about parental rights and "governmental overreach."

    Found myself "behind bars" last night—and discovered that bed frames are surprisingly easy to assemble. Glad to be upgrading from a twin XL to a queen bed, finally.

    On the bike commute home from work (in blowing snow), a guy walking into a local grocery store yells out at me, "If you want to save the planet, fucking hang yourself." Dude, it's not like I have much of a choice; I don't own a car. It's either a 12min bike ride or 40min walk.

    He discusses the tension between average citizens and experts, using the lens of environmental politics as a framework, then goes on to look at how local knowledge can be combined with expertise in a postpositivist way that avoids either a backlash (expertise death) or tyranny.

    Hi , I've yet to read "The Death of Expertise" (on my list), but I'm currently reading a topically related book—"Citizens, Experts, and the Environment: The Politics of Local Knowledge" by Frank Fischer (Duke University Press, 2000)—and wondered if you'd heard of it.

    This is important: The difference between individual and group dynamics. Like in other areas—e.g. you may be a decent Republican, while the party slides into authoritarianism—critiques of toxic masculinity and misogyny are not necessarily a personal attack, but require awareness.
