Cover of Science Under Siege by Michael Mann and Peter Hotez

The 1970s were very much a transitional period, and it’s not hard to see how the game he described evolved into the high-flying game of the 1980s.

Ken Dryden’s book is renowned for a reason. I doubt there has ever been a more thoughtful book written on hockey. It’s no surprise that he was a history major and lawyer. Definitely recommended for anyone interested in the evolution of the game, especially with 40+ years since the book was written.

That is an unacceptable defacing of US currency

Trump is aggressively ignorant. He does not learn, actively resists it, and has surrounded himself with people who enable his stupidity.

JoelGinBH @joelinbh.bsky.social · 16d

Reading— how does it work? 🤷‍♂️ 🙄

JoelGinBH @joelinbh.bsky.social · 17d

Vain yes, but even more so, unbelievably insecure.

Quick point. Trump cannot silence you, period. He doesn’t have the means or the tools, and if he did he would be too weak to use them. This is a bluff.

It only works if you let it.

If someone’s not mourning the death of Robert Redford in a manner that’s consistent with your views, make sure you set up a database, call their employer, and get them fired.

Trump: "We're seeing that there are no ships in the ocean anymore ... no there are no boats. I wonder why? Meaning, no drugs are coming across. Probably stopping some fishermen too. To be honest, if I were a fisherman, I wouldn't want to go fishing either. 'Maybe they think I have drugs downstairs'"

Next off the shelf. I’ve had this book for some time, meaning to read it. With the author’s recent passing, its time has come.

Opinion | I’ve dedicated my career to promoting free speech on college campuses. Here’s why the murder of a red state college dropout by another red state college dropout means it’s time to fire liberal professors in blue states.

Reporter: The president of Venezuela called the strike on the boat illegal

Trump: What’s illegal is the fact that 300 million people died last year from drugs

Next off the shelf. A short read that covers two lectures from a critical thinker in the philosophy of science.
