We live in challenging times. But these are also clarifying times, where the choices are clear, and we have examples to admire. All honor to the Epstein survivors. All honor to the people of Minneapolis. All honor to the people of Ukraine.

"This is a story about incompetent leadership that destroyed the paper’s economic viability. It’s a story of self-mutilation....What happened to the Washington Post over the last three years happened because Jeff Bezos wanted it to be so."

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

"We have recently seen ICE agents dressing like soldiers, maneuvering like assault teams, and engaging civilians as if they are hostile forces....this is not policing and it is not military service. It is something dangerously undefined."

93yr old JOHN WILLIAMS on stage with the Boston Symphony Orchestra this week. For millions of us he was the literally the soundtrack to our lives. The day he finally becomes one with the Force, I for one will most certainly feel his cosmic energy morphing with huge sadness.

"7:00 a.m. – Gaze out the window at the neighbor’s house. Wonder if they, too, are contemplating eternity or simply waiting for the milkman. Blink once, lest they feel your scrutiny. Blink twice, too much."
