Rewatching the MI series in preparation for seeing the new one next week. I know, it's trash, but it's fun trash, and I really don't give a shit about Scientology. It's just the newest of the myriad religious cults out there. Anyway, my favorite thing about this is also my favorite thing about […]

#WritersCoffeeClub 24: What in your writing 'dates' you? Probably everything. I'm almost 67. I've been reading science fiction for almost 60 years, beginning with 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Everything I've read has informed my writing.

When the South African president says: "I'm sorry I don't have a plane to give you," and Trump says: "I'd take it." There isn't an exchange more illustrative of the present moment.

It is easy to live in the world if you see everything as a zero sum game of black and white or good and evil. That is why so many lazy people do. Critical thinking and nuance are hard.

I get that SCROTUS has pronounced Trump immune, but can we start throwing everyone aiding and abetting his crimes in jail, please?

I would wager that most people who object to the protection of intellectual property don't have any of their own.

I listen to a broad spectrum of music. Anyone interested in browsing videos spotlighting bits of that spectrum can go to my ancient livejournal. I still post there, almost exclusively music videos. http://i.livejournal.com #musicvideos #livejournal

Our system is broken. Our system was broken before Trump. He and his cronies are just stepping on the shattered pieces, crunching them into dust. For all their flaws, Democrats at least try to make things better. The Republican's latest epithet, DEI, is an example. Ask any Republican voter what […]

In the old days, the roller coaster would climb to the top of the first hil, click click click click, and then plummet. Newfangled coasters start slow and then are propelled at hjigh speed to the top, whence begins the hair-raising ride. Welcome to the newfangled stock market. "Only" 30% […]

I don't understand reflexive cop-hatred. It's childish. I understand concern with police tactics, the desire for oversight, the just condemnation of criminal cops, incompetent cops, etc. But, hating cops because they are cops ... the ones who storm schools when there's an active-shooter, who […]

India and Pakistan agree to a ceasefire. Trump and Rubio try to take credit. India immediately fact-checks their lies. The United States government is a joke.

#WritersCoffeeClub 10: Recommend a poet or prosaist local to your city or region. I live now in Oaxaca, Mexico, and, although I do speak fair Spanish, I'm not yet good enough to do any serious reading. I spent most of my adult life in Tucson, Arizona. Linda Ronstadt is from Tucson. Does she […]

The new pope made a point of speaking Spanish to his second home of Peru, but didn't make a single reference to the US. I'm not a fan of organized religion, and definitely not of the Catholic Church, but this man will directly influence the consciences and actions of 1.4 billion people, so I am […]
