Embrace Social Media
On many days, it is hard to love – and harder to respect – social media. But, like printing presses, television and radio in their day, social media is the tool we are given on this day. To step away and leave the field open to the ignorant and malevolent alone is the equivalent of burning books and smashing television sets. We must stay engaged, embrace the media, speak out, and hold our ground against ignorance. Oct. 20, 2021
Irony
In 150 years, we have invented (and used) weapons of mass destruction, conducted two world wars, suffered through two global pandemics, experienced multiple continent-scale droughts and made the AR-15 available through mail-order. Despite all of that, the world’s human population has tripled to well beyond its carrying capacity and rich people are fretting over gun control. Nov. 11, 2021
