Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.

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.

Since yesterday I was talking about Gates McFadden’s struggles to get behind the camera opportunities, it’s time for me to share a story about the Doctor and how she’s one of the reasons I’m a Professor. 🧵 (Here’s us at the 2024 #StarTrek convention #STLV)

When I was a kid (in the mid-1980s) my folks were friends w/the editor of the local newspaper. One day, we were at his office & he let me have my pick of the various press kits for new syndicated comic strips. ME: "THIS one looks GREAT. The art is terrific & it's really funny." #CalvinAndHobbes

It’s been fairly clear since the rally on the Mall that Jon Stewart was not equipped for the political environment people expected him to translate for them. He made it extra clear with his real bad movie.

The death of the monoculture has had many side effects, but perhaps the worst is that many Americans now live in a world where politics IS our monoculture. And that makes politics seem a bit fictional at a time when that's an incredibly dangerous notion to hold. episodes.ghost.io/politics-mon...
