Zero Day: Review
I watched Zero Day, a Netflix limited series that stars Robert De Niro. It was good and maybe a little too on the nose given the current times but it lost some of its punch with certain decisions and backstory. I won’t say a bunch because it just came out and I don’t want to…

the rabies test
Most of us have this idea that we will become old but not debilitatingly infirm physically or mentally. But that, sadly, is not going to be the reality for many of us. As the US slides into theocracy raised on Ayn Rand and fever dreams of a 10 cent minimum wage, old age is going…

we should all be terrified
The US government has “disappeared” Mahmoud Khalil, a green card holder and recent graduate of Columbia University. They’re now in the middle of lying, saying he was here on a student visa which they have revoked. This is a lie. As mentioned, he’s a green card holder married to an American citizen. They’re also lying…

spring into hell

Weeds
I’m trying to garden with native species and to do that I also needed to identify what’s growing around here that isn’t native and contained. Turns out most of the grass in the fields is invasive. All of the thistles are. As I enter my third year of this project I am learning a lot,…

eyes off the prize
Websites going off line or now with content missing: NIH, Cancer.gov, PubMed. People are going to die as this administration proves just how much damage ignorance can do when the person in charge is an incompetent clown. If they succeed in crashing the US economy, what’s their replacement? Maybe then they’ll leave us alone.
