Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Enjoy your podcast and the book discussion segments including today's on "Jane Eyre."
Perhaps you'd consider a pairing of Jack London's "People of the Abyss" & George Orwell's "Down and Out in Paris and London" for discussion in a future podcast--both are grim & revelatory.

@davidcayjohnston.bsky.social Look forward to your weekly appearances on The Mark Thompson Show! You mentioned Vidkun Quisling today so thought I'd highlight this excellent 2024 Norwegian film (free 2 watch on YouTube). Norwegian cast/language w/ English subtitles.

This is f*cked up!
There isn’t any law in this country that requires you to provide proof of citizenship on the interior, but unfortunately ICE is racially profiling.
And they don’t care if you say you’re a US citizen.
So where does this leave everyone? If you don’t look white, you’re in danger.

@markhertling.bsky.social l appreciate your long distinguished military service & thoughtful insights as a commentator in retirement.
Question: would US GOFO's consider an order to seize the sovereign territory of an ally & NATO member an illegal order? Seems like JAG guidance optional/unnecessary.

@sarahkendzior.bsky.social You might find this article on Johnny Cash's prison concerts interesting. The Merle Haggard anecdote is pretty damned funny.

@radiofreetom.bsky.social Just watched you on @sykescharlie.bsky.social & you mentioned von Clausewitz, which made me wonder if you have a recommended reading (bucket) list of 10 - 20 books for those interested in military affairs. Assume a college reading/comprehension level. Thanks!

New twist on oligarch's evil CA plan: destined to fail @ ballot box, new approach is to bypass voters by using a small, quite poor city as a shell corp to make this nonsense a reality @ a massively larger scale (400K residents) than 1st proposed. Will require imported water. #Nope
