(cross-posting) My testimony against the people of the United States
To the best of my knowledge a collection of medical professionals have not brought a lawsuit against RFK, Jr.. This is not to be surprised given they are people who get wealthy off the back of the suffering. Nobody will stop RFK, Jr. from kidnapping the sick and disabled. I learned a long time ago …

This is not a good time to start writing a new book
This is not a good time to start writing a new book. You have already invested so much time and resources on the book you were already writing. Now, with the political consequences of what it means to be a writer and what it means to be a writer who discusses social issues in one …

Note: Idealism in an Era of Consequences
Attempting to maintain a frame of optimistic idealism seems rather heroic in this age of absolute consequences. It is not that the idea of contemplating utopia serves only as denialism is new.

Bringing this site out of retirement
This website and others I retired are still getting an unusual amount of web traffic. I sort of feel obligated to keep them active.
