Tears for Fears release “Shout” 41 yrs ago today.
The ‘80s, said Roland Orzabal, brought “a lot of fear, a lot of political tension. .. It’s really about empowerment — about refusing the roles you’ve been told to play. It’s an invitation. It’s saying: if something is wrong, say so. Say it loudly.”

I just watched this(stupid algorithm!) And it was worse than I thought it would be. If this were a paper submitted to me to grade.. it would fail for lack of historical accuracy. Avoid this video and visit the biography page here to learn more about Bonhoeffer:

I guess Tucker Carlson said something stupid about Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Ted Cruz chimed in soon followed by Metaxas...
Yeah.. I've had a good week, so I'm just going to ignore them and go to bed happy.

I gave a short paper today at a mini pop-up conference held by an online group I belong to. It was well received, and I got some great feedback. Now I guess I should finish it formally and try to get it published.

When 60 Minutes first heard about chess boxing, we thought it was a joke. It is not. Competitors alternate rounds of chess and boxing, and can win by knockout or by checkmate, whichever happens first. This Sunday, travel with us to the World Chess Boxing Championships.
