The Trump administration reminds me of the handful of students I failed. “I didn’t think the deadline meant ME!” How was I to know your policies (laws) had anything to do with ME? Can’t you cut me a special deal because I am ME and not everyone else?

Met the son of a famous actor last summer at the birthday party of a cousin. When introductions were made he wouldn’t even share his first name. He just showed up in my threads feed. What’s the protocol? Say hi? Or let this not famous person keep their anonymity?

OK. I’m spooked. My random book selection algorithm has selected a doozy of a book. NOS4A2 I am always amazed at how it picks relevant books for the moment. This is a long dark horror story about a creepy place called Christmasland. Not 100 pages in and a character has murdered his parents. Shades

Long ago I wrote a lecture on Milgram’s Obedience to authority research. I end it with A Few Good Men. Moral is: Don’t outsource your morality to others bc you will be responsible. Hits a bit differently today. Thank you Rob

Book Review: The Martha’s Vineyard Beach and Book Club by Martha Hall Kelly #Booksky This came to me from my friend Lori who did the NYT summer reading challenge that included a beach book. There is a beach(es), but it’s more historical fiction-a perfect mash up of The Summer of my German Soldier

A good man. A kind man. You can see it on his face. A deeply funny man. A brilliant man. May he be at peace. May he know we are all better for having him here.

On one level I’m aware that this alternate reality/timeline we’ve been plunged into is real and not one big honking engrossing novel. (You have your coping strategies, I have mine). But I am thrilled that today’s chapter is back to Epstein, away from Hegseth, even though it’s creating agita, tsrus
