    Politics Iran Catch-All | IRAN WAR

    Such amoral thinking usually invites unexpected retaliation. And I'm not sure what ignoring survivors accomplishes, but then again it kept them from getting back to Iran and returning to the fray. But what about Iranians already in America, what about teenage Iranian boys? What about child...

    Politics Iran Catch-All | IRAN WAR

    If that is true...I'm at a loss. That is a level of approved cruelty that I needed to believe our country was above.

    Politics SOTU 2026

    You take no pride in your skin tone BECAUSE it has never negatively affected your world. You're on top, culturally, economically, your physical safety, your voice in government, your interactions with public safety. None of those things have been adversely affected by your skin tone. Of course...

    Off-Topic RIP Robert Duvall

    My favorite actor of all time. Just so capable in every role he ever took on. Also, he loved to dance the tango.

    Off-Topic Favorite black fictional character

    I was friends with a family that had a three story lake house practically next to where I lived. They had a son who lived there year-round who had no problem with me going to the always unlocked house and going up to the third floor to watch what seemed like a hundred different VHS movies they...

    That jostled my early teen memory. What a bad, good movie.

    Politics NY Times Article about the FBI and its new leaders

    More just eating your own. Tearing down an important institution for tweets, loyalty, and revenge.

    Politics NY Times Article about the FBI and its new leaders

    This long article in the NYT about the chaos in the FBI is simply stunning. I don't even know what to say about it other than tearing down our security apparatus in order to win media wars and please Trump makes everyone far less secure. Sigh......just another reason among 10 million...

    UNC Sports The Ethical Game: Requiem for a Hoop Dream

    So long ago...my dad and I used to watch/listen to Carolina games religiously. When we lived in Raleigh (Brentwood neighborhood) back in the 70s if Carolina won the ACC tournament I'd go out in the driveway and lay on the car horn just to annoy the state fan neighbors on each side of us.
