I’m beginning to think that our legacy media aren’t going to save us.
The world needs your stories. Now more than ever. Yes, I’m talking about you. Yes, you. Go write your story.
For the third time, yes, you!
I get it. As an elder in the tribe, I'm hunkered down 4 the rest of my life. My heart is broken, too. I thought we were better than this.
We landed on the moon. We did that. Not Leon or Bezos. NASA. The American government, at JFK's challenge.
And here we are now.
This isn't a Ridley Scott film.
I've started a Substack. What the hell have I gotten myself into?

President Jimmy Carter has passed away at the age of 100. He was a symbol of what is best about America: kindness, compassion, duty and service. He will be missed, most of all by those who long for a return of that kind of country, led by a man with such strength of character.

There are some good adaptations of the Charles Dickens’ classic A Christmas Carol, and many bad ones, but only one truly great version, and it is the 1984 made-for-television movie starring George C. Scott.

Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends:
1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration;
2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you;
3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.
I've you're going to be the kind of asshole who goes around strictly policing other people's use of language, then you'd better not be using colloquialisms while you're doing it.
You can pick and choose to your heart's content, but only for yourself. Not for everyone else.
