I have to take Tanner for a haircut, then my wife and I are going to grab some lunch.
None of which concerns you — or interests many of you in the slightest — but I share because I care.
And that used to mean something.
Thursday update: Another not-terribly-successful fundraising drive comes to an end today. I appreciate greatly all of you who contributed. Times are lean, I realize. Maybe if I do more videos…
Thanks, McGehee!
Thanks, di!
Thanks, Enrak!
Thanks, Evan!
Sorry for the dearth of donations lately. Daughter is getting married Saturday and we are broke, broke and terribly broke (busted!) Hubby and I married 20 years ago on $4,000 and that included the 3-day honeymoon in the mountains. We’ve spent 5 times that so far, and we’re not through.
Congrats on the wedding! And thanks, Lilida!

Harvard students find each other obnoxious: straight white male privilege to blame
>This is understandable: as long as appearance is not confronted
with reality, it does not seem to be appearance. As long as living a lie
is not confronted with living the truth, the perspective needed to
expose its mendacity is lacking. As soon as the alternative appears,
however, it threatens the very existence of appearance and living a
lie in terms of what they are, both their essence and their allinclusiveness.
And at the same time, it is utterly unimportant how
large a space this alternative occupies: its power does not consist in
its physical attributes but in the light it casts on those pillars of the
system and on its unstable foundations. After all, the greengrocer
was a threat to the system not because of any physical or actual
power he had, but because his action went beyond itself, because it
illuminated its surroundings and, of course, because of the
incalculable consequences of that illumination. In the posttotalitarian
system, therefore, living within the truth has more than
a mere existential dimension (returning humanity to its inherent
nature), or a noetic dimension (revealing reality as it is), or a moral
dimension (setting an example for others). It also has an
unambiguous political dimension. I f the main pillar of the system is
living a lie, then it is not surprising that the fundamental threat to it
is living the truth. This is why it must be suppressed more severely
than anything else<

Thanks, Squid!
Thanks, SDN!
By the way Jeff, it still does mean something. I have younger people reading you now, they may not understand it all? ( GOD knows I have to look things up) but they’re here.
Thanks, Chris W!
