I've wondered for a long time why it is that human beings often elevate the greediest and most power mad among us to rule over us...and why we don't recognize insatiable greed and lust for power as the pathological illnesses that they are and ensure suffered are committed...not elected.

In celebration of Black History Month, here's a groundbreaking TV star, chef, entrepreneur, teacher, and benefactor that I had never heard of: Lena Richards. "Mama Lena," as she was known, was to New Orleans cooking as Julia Childs was to French cooking - in 1949. Truly a remarkable woman:

We have failed to come to a crossroads in America because the paths of what we say and what we do have failed to converge. Worse, our stated values and our actions have diverged so sharply from one another, that it seems we will never again come to the crossroads where character meets behavior. 1/?

If only experts existed who could warn Americans repeatedly that foreign aid is money spent to pay Americans and buy things from Americans but no one's ever said it out loud so who can blame people for not understanding

From Scientific American: "For the first time in 25 years, the FDA has approved a new type of painkiller. Suzetrigine, sold as Journavx, is as effective as opioid medicines, but is not addictive." Uh oh. When have we heard THAT before? Oh, yeah...right before (and during) the US opioid crisis.

A lot of us came to Bluesky after Facebook announced they'd stop fact checking...but, is there any fact checking here? At all? Seems like we'd better be careful that we don't end up like magas, believing and sharing information just because it fits our narrative.

The fact that I felt fear in the pit of my stomach when I posted on my senators' and representatives' social media pages, asking them to put "The Constitution" as one of the checkboxes of topics I'd like to address with them, tells me everything I need to know about what I should be doing more of.

Yes, rigged in favor of white men only for at least two centuries out of the five centuries since white men collided with the "new world." Apparently democracy - literally meaning rule by the people - turns too small an idea to include, you know, all the people. This is why we can't have nice things

Here’s something easy you can do today. Block USA Today on Blue Sky. If thousands of us can do it, we can have an immediate impact on their reach on social media.

Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce. Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have profoundly misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.

I don't know if it's because Jimmy Carter was a native son, but as I was driving through Georgia on January 20, I was heartened to see that every America flag we passed had remained at half mast (and, bonus, the ones I saw as I passed through a small patch of SC).

this idea that journalists are not allowed to describe objective reality that they see but can only quote what other people believe about things is one of the stupid ideas that has basically destroyed a shared reality
