I am significantly left of the Dems of the 90's much less today's bunch. Haven't yet given up on voting for the lesser evil. Keeping my head in the sand for my sanity but can't resist watching the train wreck in the US. Moved to Pt in 2023.

My parting gift to all of you.

A reminder that times like these,
we need a Man in Black... and sometimes we have to be that man or woman in black, in these bleak times.

Biden pardoning Marcus Garvey is a perfect excuse to break out this excellent Burning Spear album, which I still listen to pretty regularly.

The Pride of Chanur. CJ Cherryh is my favorite. Many strong female characters. Her creation of alien species and human-alien interactions is delightful. The Chanur series is a very accessible for a youngster. Once your son starts liking her writing there's a treasure trove of wonderful stories.
