Amazing how many articles are just “I’m a white guy who didn’t get the promotion I wanted and the only answer to this problem that concerns every single one of us is to re-segregate the workplace”

One of my students referred to Aristotle on their final exam as a “philosophical influencer”.
In fairness, they’re not wrong.

I’ve missed the Twitter experience. Over here, when I say hello, nobody responds with “what about black on black crime in Chicago?”

On Saturday I randomly thought of a friend I had not seen or talked to in many years. On Sunday I woke up and his niece had posted on fb that he died — on Saturday. Weird stuff like this happens to me on a semi-frequent basis.

At a dance class I complimented a woman on her grippy-bottomed socks. “I love the psych ward socks,” I said. And she goes “I call them Pilates socks.” And those, my friends, are the two types of people.

I honestly don’t know what’s more concerning. That the president of the United States keeps falling asleep in public or that everyone around him is too scared to wake him up.

There is a Shakespearean/Greek tragedy element to Richard Nixon’s story that has softened my attitudes toward him as I aged. There is no corresponding literary arc to 47’s life and nothing to humanize him.
