When Schindler’s List came out, I purposefully went to a matinee so when it was over, I could walk out into the sunlight. Do not wait until evening to resist… you might find yourself walking into the darkness.

Dems should vote to join the International Criminal Court in 2029 just so Trump and all the officials he pardoned involved in this can be sent to the Hague for trial there. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-09...

Such important words for our times. Do not let the madness discourage you.

There are no ethical uses of AI. There are no “safe” uses of AI. There are no defensible “leftist” uses of AI. You want to know how I know this? The computer scientists in my life who had to work on it are all suffering moral injuries and burnout.

A friendly reminder for the well meaning people I see making this mistake: If you want to refer to the community of Somali-Americans use Somali, the proper term, and not "Somalians". Anyone from Minnesota hears "Somalians" and braces themselves for something racist.

Fascists ruin everything, turning every symbol on its head. Never again will I be able to regard an olive branch a symbol of peace.

If you didn't grow up during the Cold War & the Cuban Missile Crisis, or practice bomb drills in school in case Russia attacked us, you can't really understand the slap in the face that Trump's embrace of Putin is to those of us who did. #ProudBlue #Pinks #SheShed

Trump’s grandpappy the pimp ran a brothel here because Germany wouldn’t let him come back no matter how he pleaded and wept. His son became an evil, monstrous slumlord and his grandson an evil, pedophile child sex trafficker and multiple felon. Their Ancestors’ Hall is a crack den and whorehouse.

"To be able to stop, that's not a weakness, that's a strength." Ingeborg Bachmann 25. June 1926- 17. October 1973

These words, spoken more than fifty years ago, have guided me ever since I first heard them. They are more important now than ever. m.youtube.com/watch?v=ltjI...

Just as New Yorkers are preparing to top up fuel tanks for the beginning of heating season with heating oil that is 75% more expensive than last year, the Democratic Party controlled government is mailing out energy rebate checks. www.tax.ny.gov/pit/energy-r...

Looking at you, MAGA.

Well, it is a start. I hope it brings a larger conversation about values, where they originate, and how they are nurtured. ithacavoice.org/2026/10/corn...

Echoes of history ringing in the air… “..If we recognize anything about National Socialism, then it is the recognition that he has succeeded in the complete mobilization of human stupidity for the first time in German politics." Good morning with Kurt Schumacher 13. October 1895- 20. August 1952”

Precisely the public discussion we need to be having:

You summed it up perfectly!

Funny. I experienced a similar timeline. But not by studying science. Instead, as a film production student, I studied how people made sense of their world so I could better share my world though sound and image. And I arrived in the same place.

Remember the photo of Trump outside St. John’s church where he is holding a Bible upside down? As the years have passed, I no longer think it was a mistake. It was a signal to his followers. For his only trait greater than his ignorance is enmity for others.

Anthropic banning “abusive or cruel behavior” toward Claude in its new usage policies is proof to me that tech companies are going to moderate violence against AI before they ever moderate violence against women and minorities

The same people who thought kids would be traumatized by masks and learning accurate history are going to livestream a death by firing squad. Elections have consequences. Vote wisely.

It is this simple.

Arthur C. Clarke fans out there: What happened to the 1964 tech optimist in the Starlink ad that led him to create HAL 9000 only four years later?

There is consistency in his “reasoning” if you accept as a contextual fact that the man is a bloody racist.

“Our memories are an inexhaustible reservoir that can fill the emptiness in us again and again. Good night”

"The world is not the immoral place you've known before. ... The world is simply a mirror of how we form it and it is nothing more and nothing less than what we all do together with it.” Carlos Ruiz Zafon 25. September 1964 - 19. June 2020):

We have reached the point where the MAGA red caps are sounding the warning of rising fascism in Germany? And EVERY single Republican is responsible for this, even if only by their silence in the face of Trump’s actions.

Compassion, understanding, quiet curiosity all have a way to make people feel seen, feel human; I hope each of you lets another feel seen at least one opportunity you have available to do so on any given day. youtube.com/shorts/tAWk4... And may you be seen, and feel human, today. 🫶🏻

So much of what we have become has separated us from traditional values that eased our passage from this life. There are wonderful people working to restore those values and practices. chicagoreader.com/city-life/ch...

Denial of one’s history is the beginning of forgetting that which you promised to never forget.

They should have studied history. J. Robert Oppenheimer famously quoted the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad Gita, saying "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds" after witnessing the first successful detonation of a nuclear bomb during the Trinity test on July 16, 1945.

Why someone wants a huge monument (w/sniper nest) overlooking the National Mall:

Just in case you were wondering… “Never forget” is now.

If NFL owners want to censor who performs in stadiums, they shouldn't ask taxpayers to help build them. You can't take public subsidies for stadiums then use them as your personal editorial board. Pay for it all out of your own pocket and hold as many Kid Rock concerts as you want to.

Be the final goose.
