Clifton Crais’s book out in UK today:“In this radical rethinking of modernity,…Crais argues that the era between 1750 and the early 1900s – seen by many as the birth of the Anthropocene – should instead be known as the Mortecene: the Age of Killing.” #academics www.panmacmillan.com/authors/clif...

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Now we begin the familiar ritual where 95% of the Republicans in Congress claim they are completely unaware of Trump’s deranged letter to the PM of Norway so they are unable to comment on it.

Does Trumpstein know he is obeying Putin’s wishes by destroying NATO? Or is he even more of a tool/fool than he appears? Either way, the GOP needs to finally find a spine. #Greenland #Politics #USPolitics #Epstein

Hamnet is such a moving film. It is a powerful testament to the power of art and language when both those things seem increasingly disparaged in the 21st century.
