I am watching with grave concern over the actions of the South Korean president to declare martial law, all because the opposition has blocked his agenda and impeached his cabinet.
Democracy is under assault across much of the world. We must be on highest guard here as well as Trump takes office.

Isn’t it funny how the media suddenly stopped talking about high food and gas prices; soaring crime in the suburbs; the migrant invasion; and immigrants eating dogs and cats?

On Thanksgiving, I want to say I am grateful to all of you who read my stuff. At this point in my life and career, my teaching and researching days are over; all I do is write, and it's a great honor when anyone takes time out of their day to hear what I have to say. 🙏

There's always a good side in almost anything.
For instance, we're having cold blackouts again because of Russians. It's the 3rd winter that they have tried to strip us of electricity and heating.
But.
It's just the time to unwrap the telescope and fly across the universe all night long.

Our values define who we are, how we act, what decisions we make as a people. Perhaps it’s time to remember what values define us.

"Even a cursory reading of the country’s founding documents and great speeches makes clear that America is a political organization with a reliance on our values." How many of us can really say what they are?

I get the pushback to Bluesky in that it further bifurcates our media ecosystem. But at this point, Twitter’s content moderation is so nonexistent and its verified users so extreme that the choice becomes either move away from Twitter or be subjected to straight up 4chan nazi bile on a daily basis.
