There's such stressful oversupply of words right now; this horrific tsunami of thought-shaped dead word bodies belched out of methane-fuelled computer buildings. It's so gross. But it also makes me think hard about every word and sentence I write. It kills me to think I could commit the same crime.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

The execution of Alex Pretti is playing so badly because you can look at his actions and life story - his last act was helping, boy scout, athlete, health care worker to veterans - and compare those to the men who killed him and know which you would want to be your son, brother, father, uncle.

Bertrand Russell, at 89 years old, to Sir Oswald Mosley, a man most famous for founding, in 1932, the British Union of Fascists. I'm all for civil discourse. But everyone can and should draw a line at who they will talk to. Notice that Russell did not demean himself with incivility, either.

I laid the wreathe for Canadians murdered by Nazis in the Abbaye d'Ardennes. Our young lie in fields all over Europe. They fought to free others from evil. For Elon Musk to give the fascist salute and say it's time to "get over nazi guilt" - Fuck him. And fuck those who say Canada should bend.

It is truly wild that it is estimated that more than 20 million people died of Covid and the prevailing vibe is that the world overreacted. That is an astonishing toll! More people died of Covid in the US than in the Civil War. www.pbs.org/newshour/hea...

5 years after it appeared, things we know and still don't know about COVID
Five years after the virus that causes COVID emerged in China it still holds some mysteries.
