Sir Terry Pratchett is best understood as one of the most interesting, deeply ethical practical (I would say Pragmatist but I cede to actual experts) philosophers of the late 20th Century who just happened to work in deconstructed fantasy literature as his medium.

I wrote a little thing about "Fairytale of New York" and about hope for a better year, but mostly I wanted to share the rendition of the song played at Shane MacGowan's funeral in 2023 because it's so beautiful. Happy Christmas, I love ya baby. dansinker.com/posts/2025-1...

I am furious that DOJ ignored the new federal law requiring release of the Epstein Files. I am equally angry that so many in legacy media seem not to care.

Went to a rural North Carolina bar to meet someone from the curling club today and saw a man who I learned was 78 years old sitting at the bar watching college football wearing a shirt with this on it and it was the first time in a long time that I felt like we might eventually win.

Given Chomsky's boundless arrogance, rather natural that he and Bannon would hit it off. Chomsky is likely a pedo, a greedy sob, and, of course, a despicable and consistent apologist for Ru and other genocidal regimes.
Well, there's a photo I never expected to see in my life. Noam Chomsky palling around with Steve Bannon.
