Reminder before “hell reigns down”: trying to bomb a country’s infrastructure and industry until they submit isn’t a foolproof master plan.

After shoveling snow for hours yesterday, a new obstacle got between me and my notes this morning. I will overcome such tribulations and record my next lecture!! /s

We’re resting up! Recording a new lecture tomorrow that will cover areas of American History spanning 1787 to 2000 — wonder how many hours it will be…

She had strong opinions on Chinese vs. Soviet Marxism-Leninism, so interrupted my latest recording. I let her take the mic, naturally.

It’s amazing to me how desperate the dissenting members of the Supreme Court are to make their branch of government subservient to the Executive. Republican members of Congress are acting this way too, letting the President blow up statutes THEY CREATED. Partisanship > Separation of powers

Mr. Churchill, why don’t you say ‘thank you’!?

So much more to say, but we cannot pass over the Alternative für Deutschland, AfD’s 2nd place finish tonight, well above three mainstream parties. Given the CDU won’t work with them to form a government, they are going to be the formal opposition in the Bundestag for potentially the next four years.

Meditation. Easy to dismiss as wellness, but hear me out. A lot of therapy, like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) takes from ancient meditation practice. When a therapist helps you break thought patterns, they’re emulating what you might get from a mindfulness session of watching thoughts.

That’s fine and all, but I feel like this is part of why no one reads. Don’t add productivity tasks on top of your reading. Just friggin read.

Behind every headline about expensive eggs is another ignored about millions upon millions of birds slowly killed by having the air cut off until they suffocate/overheat.

Nasty history, but interesting. See it in the pic? Even when meeting President Reagan, Chairman Deng Xiaoping kept his ‘spittoon’ bucket nearby. Deng was a heavy smoker and spat in all circumstances, regardless of etiquette. Footage in Great Hall of The People in Beijing, China on April 1984

My first completed book of 2025! I still had a ‘bookmark’ inside from when I last opened it in 2020. The ‘bookmark’ was actually a card received from a good friend, with a photo from her wedding printed on the front - right on theme!

This is how 2024 started for me. Snow in DC! What are you expecting in 2025?

Started strong and ended strong. The middle felt a little meandering. Definitely worthwhile.

I don’t recommend Duolingo unless you’re just starting a new language and need to get a basic rhythm. Well, I had such circumstance this year :)

With changes coming to Washington, D.C., my buddy and I paid a visit to Mr. Lincoln. The “unfinished work” is never forgotten.

The greatest among us can paint and capture nuance - like Velázquez in Las Meninas, in which we see the artist himself giving a transparent portrayal. As writers, we set out to capture our subjects faithfully, stating beforehand we will fail, yet believing the attempt is a beautiful futility.
