Great crowd in Lawrence last night for my talk on covering the data center fight. Thanks to Watch Dog DGCO for the invite and The Raven for handling book sales. Appreciate all who attended. I'm glad there's such strong interest in this era-defining topic. Photo: Kim Horner McCoy

National Cemetery No. 1 at Fort Scott. The sandstone boulder is the grave of Kansas poet "Ironquill," who died in 1911. For the story of the first Black troops to gight in the Civil War, who are memorialized here, seem my @kansasreflector.com column today.

Was just on CNN this morning talking about my @kansasreflector.com columns on Hiroshima and my memories of my 1986 interview with Yoshito Matsushige, who took the only known photographs on the ground the day the bomb fell. Thanks to host MJ Lee and the @cnn.com crew.

Looking skyward at 6:15 pm from our home on Constitution Street. It was at this moment, 80 years ago, that the atomic bomb detonated over Hiroshima (it's already tomorrow in Japan, owing to the time difference, so it was 8:15 am Aug 6 there).

Today is the Wolf Moon -- the first full moon of 2025. Here's a shot from a week ago, when the moon was in the first quarter. #Moon #Sky

What will 2025 bring? I'll leave predictions to the fortune tellers. But I am confident in saying this: America is not done with its experiment in stupid. #Opinion #NewYear

A couple of photos relative to my @kansasreflector.com column today: A closeup of the silver face of the 1978 Rotel 555 AM/FM receiver and a snap of the guts of the thing -- and that damned string! #vintage #media #radio

We've decided to go retro this Christmas. Here's a late 1970s Rotel 555 bookshelf stereo receiver I bought used and restored to good working order. It now receives both AM and FM surprisingly well. It is particularly satisfying to tune with a dial rather than scrolling through menus. #radio #retro
