I am the most unfamous author you might know. You can buy my book on Amazon ( https://tinyurl.com/3z82tzae ), you know, if you want to read something rejected by multiple literary agents.
Yes, it appears that these "terrorists" have "arms", arms that end in fists raised in the air.

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

Compare those two headlines. Gave me a lol. Mad respect if they can resist peacefully, but who am I to deny fire to the civilization that birthed the fire religion?

Do Iranians really want the Pahlavi shah back? Any Iranians on Bluesky have thoughts? My feelings were that they could just establish a representative government. The unpopularity of the last Pahlavi Shah led to the Islamic Revolution.

Just finished "The Secret History". It didn't change my mind about Dionysus or bacchanals; they are the harbingers of downfall.

Trump threatening to help Iranian protesters is complicated. I hope they can find ways to put pressure on the regime to rein in violence and consider reforms, but attacking the regime militarily can backfire spectacularly. I hope his billionaire handlers know this.

A dumb take I encountered: supporting Palestinians is supporting the Ayatollah and Islamic Republic. Another dumb take: because US and Mossad support the demonstrations, they are the masterminds of it. Forget geopolitics for a second. People don't want to live under a boot.

It's always bittersweet to see Iran go through a round of protests. I feel like I can't dare hope, but if they are putting their lives on the line for change, I might as well honor that by hoping they get the enlightened government they deserve.

Any teachers out there spending a week on one lesson plan that has become too complicated but you put in so much work you feel you have to finish? Give up? Embrace the chaos that inevitably ensues?

On the test I gave my students, I asked them to write a sentence with situational irony involving school. One student wrote, "We never learn anything in school." And a bit of added irony: she bombed the rest of the test.

I gave my students sentences to make euphemisms for. My favorite is, "Their world is filled with unknown things." Can you guess what it is a euphemism for?

I need to shoot this out into the social media void every once in a while: Japan has 1/3 GDP per capital compared to USA, one of the oldest populations, yet has healthcare for all. The US can do it no matter what its problems are. It just needs the will and unity of purpose.

Watched Mehdi Hasan get suckered into debating a fascist. He handles it well, so props to him. I'd like to believe that these hateful beliefs were nurtured in the current climate and didn't lurk fully developed since the Civil Rights movement. Probably the latter is more true than I'd like to admit.

I love my job, but 70 percent, if not more, of my anxiety comes from a single person I have to work with. I wonder if such people even know or care about their effect on others.

I worked two 6 day weeks and then a 7 day week. I don't usually have to do that, so I could notice a huge dip in my productivity from before. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

For me Civ 5, but remember those Civ 1 city views? If you could get city walls, the Great Wall, the Pyramids and the Collosus, that became a pixelated wonderland. They had no game purpose, but I enjoyed them. What makes a game great sometimes surprises me.
