I’m starting to explore stories and lore and how they manifest in our shared world. I am starting a new adventure with Pokémon Brilliant Diamond to look at myths.

Episode 5 of #startrekstrangenewworlds was why I’ve been waiting for this season. I was enchanted by the mystery and am eager to see where the rest of this season goes.

You walk up stairs where you hear in your minds eye the pleas for help. You feel each foot you step plays another plea, one more cry for survival. You think it’s Shuri meowing for food, and find the episode of Fran and CeCe stuck in the cellar! #TheNanny

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

The first three episodes of Ironheart were quite the trip. Super excited to see how this miniseries wraps up!

How profoundly sad. The kids deprived of reading Calvin and Hobbes are the kids who need them the most. My brother put it best: "We know we’re fucked when they come for your cartoon stuffed tigers."

Let's go sit in the grass and crack open "The Days are Just Packed."

The removals in Tennessee are the result of a growing political movement to control information through book banning.

Hearing planes overhead look for the assailant who took Speaker Hoffman and her husband is not something I ever wanted to experience.

I can’t speak for anyone else, but this analogy of “Lady Liberty’ held captive, is exactly how I feel about this presidency & administration and what their attempting to do with our rights and freedoms…

The New Yorker captured the feelings perfectly…

One word, UNACCEPTABLE!

Sometimes when we borrow words from other languages, English can become delightfully redundant.

This is corruption in plain sight.

Musk is getting sweetheart deals for his companies, DOGE is helping him do it, and the President is cheering him on.

This isn’t about government efficiency, but making him richer.
The FAA may cancel a $2.4 billion contract with Verizon and instead give it to Starlink, owned by Elon Musk, WaPo reports.

This would be his latest opportunity to get richer off of taxpayers.

Musk and his businesses have received $38 billion in federal contracts and subsidies.

Canada is totally a real country. I have a stamp in my passport to prove it and several friends who I am thankful for. This is scary.
A peaceful country next to Russia heard this same thing before from them.

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank.

I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history.

Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.
