When people get drowned in sea water in a Chicago high rise and a superhuman "Nigerian" starts talking to people in a weird 1930s Hollywood patois in Bristol there's an SF mystery to be solved. But is it worth solving? My review at Book and Film Globe. bookandfilmglobe.com/fiction/espe...

"It's not a fight over whether Democrats become more moderate or more progressive. Voters want Democrats to be more aggressive. They want to see Democrats standing up to Donald Trump, pushing back, fighting. It's not really related to policy, it's about posture and attitude."

BREAKING: This executive order would block tens of millions of American citizens from voting. Presidents have no authority to do this. This order, like the SAVE Act now before Congress, would hurt voters and suppress the vote.

According to a source I have at the CIA, Director Radcliffe lied today under oath. Signal is absolutely not loaded on agency computers. As a matter of fact it’s specifically prohibited as an outside app. Skype is allowed for conference calls but not Signal. He’s lying. @markwarner.bsky.social

WOW: @miamiherald.com reveals that a person imprisoned in El Salvador had LEGAL REFUGEE STATUS. He entered the USA legally in January and was detained because of his tattoos, EVEN THOUGH he had previously passed a full background check. Without warning, he was sent to El Salvador on March 15.

It’s unreal - the DOD deleted its page for Charles Calvin Rodgers, a Medal of Honor recipient who was wounded three times while defending against three assaults on his base in Vietnam. Now the URL includes “DEI Medal of Honor.” There’s something about Rodgers I don’t even have to tell you

Guys it's been one hell of a day here at the good ole IRS. Need some time to process and to reach out to friends and family affected by the terminations this week. We don't know how many we lost or when this will end. Take care of yourselves, and be kind to the people hurting. We are all Americans.

Oded Lifshitz, 84, dedicated his life to help Palestinians. He drove sick Palestinians from Gaza to hospitals in Israel for treatments. What a tragedy to see a coffin with his picture carried by Palestinians in Gaza.

Oded was such a gifted pianist. This is how we will remember him: Sitting at his piano, lost in a state of flow, breathing life into every note. The sound of him playing will live in our minds and our hearts for the rest of our lives.
