Gotta keep going. Just a personal reminder.

Finally some good news.

White paper sign stapled to a telephone pole reading: ICE GOONS: YOU WILL FACE JUSTICE IN THIS LIFE AND THE NEXT YOU WILL ROT IN JAIL AND BURN IN HELL -RESIGN- -REPENT- -REPAY-

That sounds ominous.

Better late than never I guess.

2015 "Wise Pack" by photographer Paul Nicklen of a dog team at Qaanaaq, Greenland. My next article, posting later today, is about Greenland. Who knows why I write about the things I write about, but there are some Alaska ties.

Hello from the Florida Conference of Historians, 2026! I'll be stepping out of my usual wheelhouse to talk about the short-lived Republic of Florida before and during the American Civil War.

I'm thrilled to be a part of such an excellent community of professionals and experts in my state!

Coward's way of doing politics.

Mad King. I don't know what else to say. Whatever decline is happening is not why he's a bad person--he's a monster! he has been a monster! always!--but the mental decline also seems pretty evident, even if I hate armchair diagnosis of a raging narcissist who routinely rambles divorced from reality.

Schrödinger's Mitch.

He is in the box, he is not in the box.

Someone pointed out that the Nobel Peace Prize was Trump’s “failing art school” and I just…

Wonder Woman defends herself from a Nazi as portrayed by Lynda Carter.

Some people were confused by my ICE post. This should clear it up.
