“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” - J.R.R. Tolkien

Every week is overwhelming evidence of what we saw with our own eyes, but which our credulous media was afraid to print: the Nazi salute was a Nazi salute
Yesterday Elon Musk retweeted "white solidarity is the only way to survive". In our numb overwhelmed media environment it barely made headlines that the world's richest man endorsed blood-curdling white nationalism. My brief writeup for @religiondispatches.org

I slept 10 hours last night. Not sure if it is just accumulated sleep debt or if I have some bug hiding below the surface but at least I woke up to this view.

Starting a thread for books I've read in 2026.
First up was Serviceberry by Robin Wall Kimmerer (she wrote Braiding Sweetgrass.) I finished it a few days ago, and I should finish my 2nd book of the year tomorrow.
⭐⭐⭐ / 5 - I enjoyed it, but I did not find it as satisfying as Braiding Sweetgrass.

An excellent answer on defining science vs art
Intention of reproducability. Science should be done in methods that can be reproduced. Art is never the same twice.
