It was it, in fact, not that high… This is on the Katy trail in Missouri.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

THIS.

I’m watching the Eagles play the Buccaneers. But I cannot tolerate Tom Brady‘s announcing. It’s not just his voice that’s irritating. Most of his observations are banal. That, or so technical you have no idea what he’s talking about.

Great music of the day: Swans, here in Dallas just 3 weeks ago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7Js...

One problem with the internet is that with 360 millions Americans, you can find all kinds of lunacy online, post it, and generate angst and anger from hundreds of thousands of people you will never meet. It is daily purgatory for me.

We are now in deep trouble.

Great music of the day: Magma, live in Philadelphia 2016. (I saw them in Chicago 2 weeks later). www.youtube.com/watch?v=FexJ...

This might be the most damning interview I've recently read relative to academia. I cannot stand Douthout at all, but I think May Mailman is horrid- and not surprisingly past president of the Federalist Society. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/25/o...

Great music of the day: Hot Tuna live, 2022. www.youtube.com/watch?v=y12_...

This is my grandson Alonzo. He is autistic. He has a monumental memory of all things Mario Brothers- every game on every platform, every boss, every level. He spends hours creating lists related to Mario Brothers. He sometimes cannot sleep for worry about missing something on a list. Get my point?

I taught a course in evidence-based medicine for the past 12 years and to say I am beyond depressed would be an understatement.

Great music of the day: {ink Floyd live at Montreux, 1971. A superb soundboard recording. www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5pp...

This is not a bad analysis of magma's studio records. theeliteextremophile.com/2022/04/18/d...

Seems like the pressure worked. Kimmel will be back on TV tomorrow. That should be interesting.

Absolute idiocy, where left is right, up is down, and Bizarro supeman is the comic book hero. Douthout is so inane here it hurts to read- but of course his goal is to normalize the anti-left hatred of the right. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/o...

If this is an apology for his last column, it fails miserably. It is an excuse. He is surprised that those on the left took issue with what he said. Is he that clueless? Does he really think Shapiro wants de-escalation? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/o...

Great music of the day: latter-day Tangerine Dream, live session during Covid lockdown. www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLTy...

Always a good day when Flavor Flav likes a post you sent to him!

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

I cancelled my Washington Post subscription about a year ago. I wish I could cancel it again. A once-great newspaper reduced to a right-wing mouthpiece, firing its best people.

Great music of the day, in his honor. Hermeto Pascoal, 2018. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GEGm...
