Margaret Atwood's work "creates a little space for the head to think and heart to feel; her books reveal how the imagination—whether amusing, or dystopic, or searing, or humane, or all of these at once—may sustain us against ideological clampdowns and various other sad, sadistic things."

Margaret Atwood’s look back at her life and career shows readers that building and maintaining an independent mind is a full life’s work.

Congress’s authority over war and peace? Treaties as supreme law of the land? Nah.

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland.
Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

A cop pal telling me about the stupidity of Ross walking in front of Good's vehicle adds that the claim Ross was shooting in "self-defense"/"defensively" from feet away is idiotic: Wounding or killing a driver does not necessarily stop a car or make it move more safely or predictably.
