"Part of being optimistic is keeping one’s head pointed toward the sun, one’s feet moving forward. There were many dark moments when my faith in humanity was sorely tested, but I would not and could not give myself up to despair. That way lays defeat and death." —Nelson Mandela Blog | Mastodon | Bluesky | Newsletter

I finished reading “Entities: The Selected Novels of Eric Frank Russell,” an anthology of several novels and short stories. I read two of the novels: “Wasp” and “Sinister Barrier.” A few months ago I read one more by Russell: “Men, Martians and Machines.” Classic sci-fi from the 1930s-50s.

I’ve watched the rise of dictation tools for the Mac with some interest. I dictate more than half of what I write into the iPhone — which is a lot — email, text messages, notes to myself — but if I have a full-size keyboard, it’s easier for me to type than dictate.

Gonna get involved in some spooky shenanigans in Beatrix Potter's Silent Hill :D

Mark - "Deborah, I don't mind that you're seeing someone else, but really? Did it HAVE to be Dobbin?"

Deborah - "Look Mark, if you had been hung like a man I wouldn't have needed to find someone who was hung like a... well, you know how that goes"

Mark - "YES! And it's a metaphor for a reason!"

Dobbin - "Oh come on now Mark, you know this is REALLY about the fact that my 3rd battalion has flanked your infantry completely AND cut your supply lines and I'll have taken your general by tomorrow morning"

Mark - "Sigh... Never trust a horse with a cavalry brigade! OR your wife!"

"American exercising their constitutional rights must submit, without question, to a white man holding a gun."

Heather Cox Richardson compares the murders of Renee Good and Ahmad Arbery, the jogger gunned down by white supremacists in 2021. In both cases, defenders of the shooters released video of the incident which those defenders claimed would exonerate the shooters. But in fact the videos showed the killings for what they were — murder.

In the case of the murder of Renee Good, the shooter and his protectors are clearly so isolated in their own authoritarian bubble they cannot see how regular Americans would react to the video of a woman smiling at a masked agent and saying: “That’s fine, dude. I’m not mad at you,” only to have him shoot her in the face and then spit out “Fucking btch” after he killed her.
The thread that runs through both is the assumption that an American exercising their constitutional rights must submit, without question, to a white man holding a gun.
