We're not the first society to live through this unnerving jamais vu; that's how I came to be an American. Let's honor what was best and forge something better for what comes next so that ours can be the last. Excellent article as always from #LitHub lithub.com/from-stalin-...

Excellent analysis by Chris as usual... Satire is best applied to the institution, not the individual. This is especially true in an algorithmic-driven media environment.

May your #Juneteenth be joyous

An excellent new release dropped today from #PeterGabriel... A reminder to actively stand up for a better world for all of us then we currently have, and not to simply stand by as the most powerful work to better themselves. petergabriel.com/news/wont-st...

Streaming #Selma tonight, to remind myself of the sacrifices required to bring about lasting change - and to try to keep the faith that there are still enough good people in this country to overcome our morally bankrupt government and the wretched rot deep in the American soul they have embodied.

Remember that those who came before us watch and wait, at the ready as guides so that those who come after us may look and see that we were just as goodly stewards as they. A blessed #EarthDay to you from #GlacierNationalPark, my friends.

A great article from #NovayaGazeta on how dictatorships are established. A key method is, of course, destroying the memories of previous tyrannies through the steady erosion of the truth. novayagazeta.eu/articles/202...

A blessed & joyous #MotheringSunday to one and all... a fond memory of my own mother to share, playing a favourite Rachmaninoff sonata 😊

A fascinating article that makes a strong case for the emergence of 'Sapiens' as the dominant species of hominid having had their cradle on the Persian Plateau rather than Western Europe. #Archeology #TheConversation #Eurasia theconversation.com/arrowhead-po...
