Father of 3. Happily married. Democrat. Lover of history ( early modern to present), jazz, beer, and hockey. On Bluesky mainly as protest. Not a fan of social media. However, we may need to organize here. These are desperate times.

Just finished The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt. Pretty damn good. A touch too much explication at the end, but a wonderful read. Some great passages describing despair and nihilism. The humor and beautiful language refute nihilism while simultaneously describing it. #booksky

NY Times has reported at least 99 killed in boat strikes. So let me be the first to congratulate President trump and the military on 100 murders. We are not at war. We are murdering suspects.

CBS reporter Edward R. Murrow embodied what a journalist should be: someone who holds power to account instead of capitulating to it. Over 70 years later, his segment denouncing Joe McCarthy’s congressional witch hunts rings truer than ever.

Just listened to long interview between Ezra Klein and Ta-Nehesi Coates. In NY Times. If you can access I strongly recommend it. Klein trying to find a political way forward, albeit awkwardly. Coates being his normal top shelf self. Can’t recommend it enough.

Light and darkness don't mix. Darkness is a negative spiritual force and light is a positive spiritual force. Spiritual darkness refers to people being unable to see or recognize the evil, wicked and immoral things in this world: they are walking in spiritual darkness. #spirituality #BarackObama

It has taken medical science 200 years to advance humans to the point where people are so healthy and living so long that they can deny that science and medicine is what got us here.

I have a question. Where are our musicians?? I know Bruce is fighting the good fight, I’ve heard Jay Farrar get partisan. There was never a more urgent time for some meaningful rock n roll. Like if Joe Strummer was alive. I’ll take hip hop, anything. Who is singing important stuff right now??

Reading Navalny’s autobiography. He knew it was likely he would be arrested when he returned to Russia. He was brave. As they took him away at the airport, he yelled to his supporters ‘Don’t be afraid of anything’. Now, he’s speaking to us. Be brave. Speak out. Protest. Act! Resist.
