Brown University is my alma mater and the site of many of my most meaningful memories. What has happened there today is beyond belief. My heart breaks for all who are suffering today and everyday from our epidemic of American mass shootings.

Treating the symptom, not the disease...

In 2010, Professor Peter Turchin graphed political violence in America for the Journal of Peace Research with the prediction the 2020s would be even worse based on the Structural-Demographic Theory pioneered by Jack A. Goldstone.

With this latest mass shooting at Brown University, this might be a good time to mention that Bill Clinton’s assault weapons ban reduced mass shooting deaths by 43% - but after George W Bush & Republicans let it expire, mass shooting deaths spiked by 239%.

It's the guns!!! :(

Jennifer and I send our deepest condolences to the Brown University community.

Gun violence has no place in this country. These acts of violence are vile and devastating. We pray for the safety of everyone affected.

From one of my favourite books of this year -Luke Kennard – Notes on the Sonnets

A reimagining of Shakespeare’s sonnets set in a joyless house party. It is sharp, witty, and at times unsettling

We have all been to parties like these, and sometimes wish we hadn’t
