No society is immune from embracing evil on a mass scale. We read about the atrocities of the past, and we ask ourselves, "how could so many act with such cruelty?" But that cruelty is always a mirror reflection away. Evil that's popular is still evil. Resistance means rejecting that popularity.

The comments on this entirely reasonable statement are why much of BlueSky is such a cesspool of ignorance and idiocy masquerading as righteousness.

My statement on Middle East peace
A white graphic with a blue border includes the following text: My Statement on Middle East Peace October 9, 2025 After two years of unimaginable loss and suffering for Israeli families and the people of Gaza, we should all be encouraged and relieved that an end to the conflict is within sight; that those hostages still being held will be reunited with their families; and that vital aid can start reaching those inside Gaza whose lives have been shattered. More than that, though, it now falls on Israelis and Palestinians, with the support of the U.S. and the entire world community, to begin the hard task of rebuilding Gaza – and to commit to a process that, by recognizing the common humanity and basic rights of both peoples, can achieve a lasting peace.

I am tired. I am exhausted. I am fried. I am weathered like a hundred-year oak in a seething tempest. And yet. And yet. I'm still here. I go on. In the immortal words of Andie Walsh: "I just wanna let them know that they didn’t break me."

You watch: people who can write well (an already rare breed), as well as people who can think critically and reason for themselves are going to be in *high demand* in the very near future, as AI steadily erodes most people's ability to use their own brains.

Watching the Blue Jays lay the smackdown on the Yankees is a good time. I hope they can hold these runs.

I made chocolate peanut butter cup decaf coffee tonight and it was glorious. If we don't appreciate these little things, we'll never be able to take our minds off the societal collapse that's happening around us.

Another sweltering "fall" day in Ontario. The earth is sick and dying from a fever that we're causing, and instead of helping our planet heal, we're gaslighting it by claiming that the warming problem doesn't exist. Our extinction certificates will feature our own signatures.

I've got a study scheduled for early December, actually. The doctor is pretty convinced I have sleep apnea, but they need to prove it.
