I needed to get well. But how? Was I going to bio-hack my way to restored health? Or was I going to take a spritual path, rekindling faith? My story is one of "simple wellness." Instead of striving ever higher, I learned that protecting myself from ruin was all the focus I needed. Happy Turkey Day!

I’ve been bothering NATO officials for over 2 years with one Q: what will happen if NATO member attacks another NATO member? No answer.
Well, soon they’ll have to show us what this, in fact, means.

I interviewed Rob Reiner as one of the bonuses for the @criterion.bsky.social BluRay of SPINAL TAP. We talked for an hour about the movie and his career and then they shut off the cameras and we talked about movies for another hour. A delightful, unhurried genius.

Absolutely horrified by the news of the mass murders in Sydney's Bondi Beach - a place dear to me, where I used to live, and which I cannot imagine as a massacre site. Humanity needs to stop and re-evaluate our infinite capacity for inhumanity. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-12...

One of the big sorting moments in the GOP post-Trump (...and maybe not just "post-"?) is going to be "Crank, Opportunistically Held Beliefs" and "Crank, Genuinely Held Beliefs"
And considering a lot of the worst hypocrisies of the GOP *involve* those beliefs...that's a huge potential fracture point.

Welcome to the whacky world of the human microbiome.
You’re a walking, talking, wriggling, gas-emitting superorganism—home to trillions of gut bugs and ancient mitochondria who’ve been lurking inside you, coalescing and brewing since the dawn of humanity.

When I see a journalist complimenting another journalist for being nonsensationalist, I take that as a clear signal that both journalists are deliberately underreporting the nature of the threats America now faces in order to maintain a death-grip on the journalistic cultural capital of another era.

American chattel slavery was like, one of the worst things humanity has ever invented
There's a reason Lincoln said that there was basically no limit on how much punishment a just and righteous god might inflict for it
