Will the real King Arthur please stand up? www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0DW...

Woodward's next book.

Passed "looking like" a long way back. This is now the Racism Round-Up.

So the impotent old men on the Supreme Court can still get hormone supplements. Trans kids cannot. Somebody tell me how that is equal treatment before the law. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/06...

Ones acting horrified at the idea of the US being involved in Israel's wars--you are not fooling anyone but idiots. The US has been financing the terrorist state of Israel's atrocities for decades. You don't give billions of dollars and get no say in their use. www.nbcnews.com/world/middle...

Why does the world need another book about Arthur? Because all the others got it wrong. All of them. Why www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0DW...

Tell everyone Godzilla is destroying New York. Say "Fear not! I, your Dear Leader, am deploying the Marines, National Guard, and Mickey Mouse to save us. Without me, the City and entire nation will be lost!" After nothing happens, take a victory lap. People will laugh and say you're an idiot. Right?

I was not trying to predict the future when I wrote The Delphi. In fact, I was hoping we would be smart enough to avoid this future. But here we are. The Posse Comitatus Act is making news. www.amazon.com/Delphi-David... www.thenation.com/article/soci...

"In 1926, Bird in Space was the subject of a court battle over its taxation by U.S. Customs. In October 1926, Bird in Space, along with other Brâncuși sculptures, arrived in New York harbor aboard the steamship Paris. Customs officials refused to believe that the piece of polished bronze was art."

The police and National Guard are making things worse. This is what they were intended to do.

Bondi's lying again. Who's surprised? She hopes we don't know what grand juries do. They do not determine guilt or innocence. They decide whether a person can be tried. But she is saying the grand jury found Garcia was a smuggler. Lies and more lies. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

@npr.org Why is it NPR cannot grasp the simple fact that if we wanted to hear from the likes of Steve Bannon, we'd be watching Fox Noise instead of listening to NPR. What is that clicking sound? Oh, all the people switching over to AP News.

Why does the world need another book about Arthur? Because all the others got it wrong. All of them. Why would you want to read it? It's fun. www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0DW...

What a bizarre image.

Two magic words: "terrorism" and "anti-Semitism." Apparently you can invoke them to justify any atrocity you care to commit. Just accuse your accusers of being terrorists, anti-Semites, or both, and they are no longer allowed to question anything you do.

Maybe John Roberts will someday realize saying presidents are above the law wasn't a great idea. apnews.com/article/depo...

@marketplace.org A real celebration of animal cruelty this week on your NPR segments.

And leave it there? I'm in favor.

Would someone please tell Schumer?

I remember Pelosi complaining about young Democratic Reps using social media "too much" when she should have been asking AOC and her generation to give a seminar for old fogeys like Pelosi and Schumer to learn how to communicate. Schumer needs to go join Nancy in retirement. He's a lost cause.

If you wonder why Democrats can't get their act together, look no further than that so-called leader Schumer. He's like, well, Trump says walk off a cliff, so let's walk. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/13/u...

Stocks plummet. Where's the money going? Gold, silver, etc, looks like, as precious metals are at or near all-time highs. Stocks down, metals up--that is a strong sign the people who know finance and economics are buckling up for a rough ride.

Fascism at its finest.....

Fields wrote "For the Uniform," one of the best episodes of Star Trek DS9. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Truly amazing. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_A...

If you've never seen Mars, here's an easy opportunity. Or If you have, let's look again!

The Trump stock market:

Efficiency? Randomly fire a bunch of people today. Discover tomorrow you need them because they do important work. Try to hire them back day after tomorrow. About as efficient as making rockets you know will explode on launch, but the government is paying for them, so who cares?

"No taxes on Social Security benefits" sounds like a generous move. It's not. People whose only income is Social Security don't make enough to owe taxes. Only rich people who don't need SS but get it anyway will benefit. So it's just another gift for the Orange Felon's rich buddies.

Ready for a trip to the sixth century? Try The Excalibur Incident by David Rogers at Amazon or Barnes and Noble.

Only a complete idiot would believe Canada is actually going to start building factories in the US just because the Orange Felon throws a tariff tantrum. apnews.com/article/tari...

You left out a big one: the U S losing hard-won respect in the world.

It's what you'd expect from Marjorie Taylor Greene's boyfriend. If the most important question he can ask is "Why don't you wear a suit?" he should stick with making YouTube videos about wardrobe malfunctions, not matters where millions of lives are at stake. www.unilad.com/news/us-news...

BREAKING: European companies are now refusing to refuel American ships. Our navy was just turned away in Norway. We have officially become a pariah state. Hard to overstate just how much the vibes have changed in this shithole country.

Umm, yeah. I see a giant a**hole. And I believe what I see.

For anyone who is told by the powers that be to give up because you'll never make it--they said that to Gene Hackman, too.

No fix needed. It's not a mistake: "Apple has promised to fix a bug in its iPhone automatic dictation tool after some users reported it had suggested the word “Trump” when they said ... 'racist'." www.theguardian.com/technology/2025/feb/26/apple-to-fix-iphone-dictation-bug-trump?CMP=usbriefing_email

@npr.org Good job you guys! This morning you've given a platform to at least two apologists for the Orange Felon and his gang of fascists. Do you understand what "complicit" means?
