What is wrong with those people? What is wrong with us?

My only surviving photo from the Ali-Chuvalo fight in 1972 at the Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver, BC. Got a ringside seat as reporter from small Nanaimo daily newspaper, surrounded by Sports Illustrated, Time, etc. He got beat up, but didn’t go down.

American exceptionalism has no bounds. One of my first thoughts 25 years ago was "What about Palestine?" Today as the USA genuflects to its own misery, "What about Gaza, Lebanon, Ukraine, et al?" As per usual, nada.

It seems to be over, I know not what, old knife dull, the unkind cut, wound still festers, pain is gone, memory lingers, haggard and drawn

If I were the sun, I’d give you my light, If I were the moon, I’d give you my night. If I were the sea, I’d give you my fish, If I were a star, I’d give you my wish. But I am a man, beneath a pall, Able to give only my all So take from me then, that what you can, But please remember, I’m only a man.

also not lost on me that as democratic socialists are winning some elections, a new red scare targeting anarchists, antifascists, and their allies is digging in hard, and today handed down 30, 50, and 100 year prison sentences to activists and organizers

Now that I’ve reached the stage when words don’t come so easily I’ve realized that they’re not so vital, important or inherently wise. So, silence, after all, is a remedy for all the noise and hubbub while listening to the waterfall and the easy wind the ruffles all the leaves within hearing

I once decided to write a poem entitled The Loneliness of Climate Change but realized the title said it all, no other words were necessary to assuage our consumptive guilt. Entertaining ourselves to death, ReCreation fer gawd's sake, zipping around in precious vehicles on roads to about nowhere.

Never heard of @matthaig.bsky.social until this morning. Now, (thanks to @theguardian.com ) spent the day of listening to his Reasons To Stay Alive. Now I have another reason.

33 years ago came the Mosaic browser which blew our minds and we opened those first graphic web pages with anticipation… Now, not so much. Seems like we only visit www to become angry/dazed/confused

However hard we try to bring in the new it comes into being only in the midst of clumsy deals We're all so clogged with dead ideas passed from generation to generation that even the best of us don't know the way out We’ve invented the Revolution but we don't know how to run it Marat in Marat/Sade

When we were kids: Whistle while you work, Hitler was a jerk, Mussolini bit his weenie, now it doesn't work. Now: Donnie is a glutton, rotting piece of mutton, Gives the finger, doesn't linger, Off to do some ruttin'

Franz Fanon wrote about traumas not only of the oppressed, but of the oppressors. This is fairly obvious in Gaza/Israel and in Ukraine/Russia. And increasingly so with minorities/US government. Sadness prevails.

Cowichan Nations court decision – Oh great! Now decades and decades of court hearings for the folks that got their feelings hurt by a 25+ year court case by Indigenous peoples who really got their feelings hurt.
