Blocked by Huffpo–UPDATE
UPDATE: DANGER WILL ROBINSON! I’m pleased to announce that Huffington Post finally put this article on their website. Huzzah! You can find it here. Background: I have this FB friend named Angie Cordeiro. She has what has been called an ‘eclectic’ background–studying (and writing about) everything from human nutrition, early childhood development, religion, natural and holistic […]
Worst stock market opening ever
I want to capture this moment, because (depending how things change), people might not have this on their radar screen a month or so from now. Remember, I warned you. The Stock Exchange lost over 5% of its value in the first week after New Year’s, and lost over 900 points. That makes this the […]
Returning to Radio–Brooklyn Culture Jam
So here’s the deal. As many of you might know, I used to be part of a radio show called SEX & POLITICS. A product of founder and executive producer Phil Rosenberg, we covered politics, sex, the arts, and culture. It was a lot of fun and I did some great shows. Alas, the summer […]
Meet the Percapitas! and why we’re facing extinction
This is a five year old article that addresses the crux of our problem in facing human extinction. It’s brilliantly executed by one Tim Murray, and brought to my attention by Gail Zawacki, who blogs away under the title At Wits End in New Jersey. This is how the piece starts: Hi there! We’re […]
Crazy white men with guns in Oregon (updated)
UPDATE–a more relevant photo meme just out after the local sheriff had a hand-shake with Ammon Bundy. Assuming you’re paying attention, you’ve heard that self-styled ‘militia’ have swept down on Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon and taken it over, vowing to not move ‘for years’. There’s a breakdown of the various stances on Vox, which is […]
Going after Exxon in the court of public opinion– UPDATED
Image from DailyKos article on what the oil companies knew and when they knew it. In this case the illustration shows temperature anomalies for the last week of December 2015. (Scroll to bottom for important update). Peter Sinclair, the blogger behind Climate Change Crock of the Week, put the highlighted text as the title of his […]
They won’t tell us: ‘Crazy’ NTHE allegations
I’ve delayed posting this for over a week now. I’m still not sure I should. As all of you who’ve been paying attention might have noticed, I’m a reluctant convert to the idea that humanity has already passed all the tipping points on mitigating the damage we’ve done to the earth. I know this is […]
Where the Hell did I go?
Sorry, it’s been a really tough Holiday season and I have not much to tell you that will warm the cockles of your heart. This missive arrived in my FB feed this AM: While institutional science will take years, if not decades, to confirm a correlation between human-forced climate change and strong North Atlantic storms, […]
We’re screwed– evidence no longer matters
This has been on my mind for a few days now. It was sparked by an article in VOX about why we’re stuck in neutral vis a vis the gun violence in this country. And it’s also why (COP21 Paris notwithstanding) we won’t come up with anything that can realistically be called a ‘plan’ to deal […]
