Hats off to Christiane Amampour, a journalistic hero. Here we are together in 2015.

I love this long poem so much. Please read it. pattidigh.substack.com/p/poetry-wed...

My heart hurts for the peaceful protesters in France who are being beaten by the police, and for the shopkeepers whose stores were looted. Phil Ochs wrote a song about rioting in an American city back in the '60s. Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5cOe...

I love ol' Dan Rather, but he left out the notorious Lewis Powell Memo that started this whole thing in 1971, and the corporate Democrats (lookin' at you, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz) who came to be seen, deservedly, as snobby elitists, and still are. steady.substack.com/p/the-gops-e...

Don't ignore the threat Trump poses. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewh4...

Apparently he now wants "Trump Ocean." What's worst than His Heinous? The people who keep this crazy man in power, starting with the Roberts court and his nutzo cabinet, followed by Congressional Republicans and Fauz-News addicts.

What a lovely story. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/11/o...

I am super impressed by the fascistic use of a public execution by firing squad and murderous ICE agents as death reminders that push people into the arms of dark men who have always deployed death salience for power. You? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Gerald Durrell's "My Family and Other Animals" (the basis for the TV series "The Durrells in Corfu" is a combination of beautiful prose-poetry about the Grecian creature world and LOL sit-com humor. It's the only kind of book I can stomach in these darkening days. www.goodreads.com/en/book/show...

I lived in Germany, and this AfD win is freaking me completely out.

I once lived not too far away from Big Sur, and this article describes the quintessence of the rot that human beings create. Disgusting and very sad. Nature is screaming. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

farewell to another shining star. Thank you, glorious Gloria. www.npr.org/2026/09/03/n...

When an author used AI to generate a MS, I had to go back to undo it all and rewrite it from scratch. AI is useful for some things, I suppose, but we really need human brains more. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

I woke up with this song on my mind. Joni was prescient. www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6z7...

I live in central Vermont. I'm going up to Montréal this weekend to spend $ at par at their stores and markets. Fuck Trump.

So I wrote this article about the challenge that faces a homeless couple. Read it and weep. www.timesargus.com/opinion/comm...

Brilliant, funny as hell, and dead serious. I love this substack! ifloz.substack.com/p/king-carne...

The right-wing monsters are taking over everthing and burning and starving us, just as planned ever since the Powell Memo of 1971. It is beyond time to bring their corporatist enablers to their knees. www.greenpeace.org/usa/democrac...
