@erskinetimes We were detoured by Waze yesterday off 110 at Ave 26 to downtown. Very slow. If only the LAT had posted a map….still would have been slow though…sigh.

[George Takei @GeorgeTakei]

When I was a little boy, the Japanese military attacked Pearl Harbor. It was a surprise attack, and thousands of U.S. servicemembers perished. As a nation, we were stunned. And we vowed to strike back. Revenge was understandably on everyone’s mind, including many Americans of Japanese descent who opposed the emperor and were peaceful and law-abiding U.S. citizens and residents.

In its zeal to exact that revenge, however, the U.S. government overreacted, out of fear and bigotry. They targeted everyone who happened to look like the people who had carried out the attack. Those of us who had done nothing wrong were forced to pay the consequences for the decisions of others far away and disconnected from us. We were interned for years, in open-air prisons, while America went off to fight Japan, Germany and Italy.

It’s so important that we carry the lessons of the past through to today. Merely because one group commits atrocities and acts with depravity does not mean vast hundreds of thousands or even millions of others should be lumped together with them and made to suffer. We must never paint with the brush of justice and retaliation too broadly, or the toll of human suffering will rise immeasurably.

Happy five year anniversary of pointing out that men cause pregnancy and could easily prevent abortion by ejaculating responsibly (but they choose not to) to all who celebrate.

@afrosabi I’m a Grandma of Japanese descent and I use a cylindrical buckwheat pillow. My physical therapist recommended it. Works best when sleeping on my back. Hubby prefers the small rectangular shape.

@JillWineBanks I’m proud of mine too.

I followed @AlGiordano to Post when he, mostly, left this site. One of the most honest, insightful political minds around. His newsletter, much like his old blog, were such a joy to savor. May his work continue. Sad news.

For any of you who have been around for close to a decade in this hellscape, you may or may not know Al Giordano. He died on July 10. Just passing it on to the folks who appreciate his work and if you're not one of those people, maybe just scroll on by.

[Baban🖖@🏡 @LCMama]

@HawaiiDelilah Thank you for letting us know. Been following him from platform to platform since 2007. So insightful on grassroots politics and his food posts were epic. I had been wondering why he hadn’t been posting on Post. We only met on Zoom. Condolences.

@QondiNtini Same. He actually seems to be a young Gene Wilder. Did not want a Johnny Depp prequel.
