39. So is Newsom

Sun Jan 12, 2025, 03:01 PM

Grace and competence under pressure are admirable leadership qualities. Until this event I always thought he was unappealing because California feels like a separate subculture in a lot of ways inside "the public's mind," as my own mind perceives it. But it feels a lot different now.

Of course, I still don't grasp what "they" think about anything, since thinking doesn't seem to be a critical part of the package. I only know what comes out of mouths. It's going to be another disorienting four years, which seem to have started awfully fast after the election. Sob.
