Your enemies will tremble as Trump makes the flag you wrap yourselves in mean fascism instead of freedom. C-O-O-L, huh? Lara Trump promises “four years of scorched earth when Donald Trump retakes the White House” (if he stays out of jail). It’s a helluva campaign pitch: Doesn’t that sound like fun? People are tired of the toxicity of national politics, I get it. Enough to stay home and not get their shiny, white vinyl souls tainted by voting this November. Remind them what MAGA is selling. ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● For The Win, 5th Edition is ready for download. Request a copy of my free countywide GOTV planning guide at ForTheWin.us.

The Weeping Angels are the most original high-concept Doctor Who monsters to be introduced in nearly 30 years, with elegance to their horror.

I feel I should acknowledge the death of Daniel Dennett, a philosopher who had the rare gift of communicating his interesting ideas very well. Even now, many years later and although I disagree with some significant bits, I would recommend … Continue reading →

I’ve been doing a bunch of talks and events online, mostly not CT related, but a couple that might be interesting to readers. One that certainly is is this conversation with Francis Spufford, which is a coda to Red Plenty. Some of my bits of the conversation build on this Long Now talk from a […]

Robert Farley has replied to my recent post on the obsolescence of naval power. Unlike our previous exchange, a pile-on where I was (as he points out) in a minority of one, Robert’s tone is mostly civil this time, and I intend to reciprocate.

Australia and New Zealand are beautifully placed to nurture and defend a different model of relationships between the prevailing power [the US] and the rising power [China]: A different approach from the one that Continue reading »

Readers will recall my article of 16 April, The end of occupation: A state of Palestine at the UN. It advised of an anticipated vote in the Security Council on April 18. The Security Council was sitting in New York. Because of the time difference, that was early in the morning of 19 April in Continue reading »
