Retired Oriental Rug merchant, fluid power system engineer for a component distributor, at 84, mowed properties for older people. Today, ice skating guard for the local ice rink. So fun to be around young people living afar from US.

Death threats should not be part of public service. It’s no coincidence that this climate of fear coincides with Trump‘s rhetoric. I’m grateful for the public servants who serve anyway, but there are also good people unwilling to risk the safety of their families.  www.nytimes.com/2026/10/11/u...

Do you know how hard it is to lose the war if you're the United States? It's about as unlikely as bankrupting a casino.

You’d have to be a special kind of stupid to bomb a school full of children and still expect to win the Nobel Peace Prize.

Texas is already facing serious water shortages, and massive AI data centers could put even more pressure on our limited supplies. These Corrupt Bigshots want to build water-hungry facilities in communities where farmers, ranchers, and families already depend on strained aquifers and wells.

Caught red-handed with sensitive national defense documents he was not legally entitled to possess, Trump obstructed justice by moving them around to evade detection. Now, he has the audacity to blame the investigators. His mentor, Roy Cohn, would be proud. Gift link www.nytimes.com/2026/10/11/u...

In my work, I consider very much how modern mediums of communication can be used to reinforce status and hierarchy. Whether it was runaway advertisements, or Aunt Jemina advertisements, or indeed lynching photos, we can deepen a violent atrocity, by how we disseminate that atrocity.
