Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

It’s time for the white community to stop playing the victim & have an uncomfortable conversation about violence, parental responsibility & the families raising the thugs causing all the white-on-white violence in Republican-controlled cities.

CA Leg is trying to rush through a bill, AB 715, which would establish surveillance of K-12 teaching in the name of antisemitism. Take 60 seconds today to call Pro Tem McGuire (916) 319-4002, and Assembly Speaker Rivas (916) 319-2029, and state that you OPPOSE AB 715.

The thing that bothers me most about the Trump and Musk row is atmospheric concentrations of CO2 just passed 430 parts per million for the first time in human history leading to more intense temperatures that threaten to trigger climatic feedback loops that could destroy civilisation itself.
