Trump's True Sin Isn't What He Does. It's What He Is February 12, 2025
I think the primary reason Trump provokes such strong revulsion in some quarters is that he represents the id of the America empire—the hideous, capering truth that so much of our culture is designed to obscure.A few examples:“You’re going to take Gaza under what authority?”“Under the US authority.”This sounds terrible… but how is it different, […]

Identifying Devil’s Club Plant August 10, 2023
Devil’s Club is a common wild plant in Alaska that’s large & covered in hidden sharp thorns, growing everywhere from remote forests to even well-groomed Anchorage city trails.
