Carlos Castaneda promised his followers they could escape death. In 1998, he died of liver cancer. Then the skeletal remains of five of his followers were found. What really happened inside his circle? 🎧 podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/criti… @rumarshall.bsky.social

Just a suggestion: Maybe the other progressive candidates for mayor could spend the remainder of the campaign down at federal plaza escorting folk. And maybe all future protests could be held there. Just suggestions ...

LAPD’s Chief says they still have no idea what the military’s mission in LA is. There are no open deconfliction channels between the military and local law enforcement. Having multiple groups with weapons operating in the same area with no way to communicate is fucking insane.

Loving the Musk business model. First, totally antagonize your predominantly Democrat voting EV driving customer base. Then piss off most of the MAGA base. A true genius at work

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

You'll discover an abstract formulation that explains everything. You'll hold fast to it--you want to live in a world that makes sense. You'll eventually be disturbed by information that unsettles that formula. The more unsettled you are, the more angrily you'll bat away this info I'll do the same.

Would not be surprised if Harvard and Columbia faculty didn’t show up to teach for weeks—all sick from measles or flu or—until their presidents and boards realized they can’t run a university without faculty who believe in free speech and association, including for foreign students and faculty.

“He scaled a tangled staircase of rocks and roots. Brown needles carpeted the path and found their way into his shoes. Mist topped the pine-blue mountains, and mist left tiny droplets along his sleeves.” From Sad Conquistador, my novel in progress. #ForestFriday #scape

Marching: I too dislike it. Thing is: when you protest, you make it easier for others to protest. That's how change happens. I too would rather be working on my epic poem, cooking cassoulet. But I'll be there April 5, 1 pm Bryant Park

I think I'm going to be ok if I never see any more "political" art that, relying on the dramatic, theatrical effects afforded by lots and lots of money and institutional support makes didactic points which surprise the audience not at all. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think I'll be ok
