CSotD: Neurodiversity & Other Amusements

Dan Piraro has a fascinating and important piece on his blog that ties in with my own experience of having been punished as a young lad for what we now recognize as Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder and being fortunate enough to turn it into an advantage.

CSotD: Fear the Kept Promises, not a Broken One

Jimmy Margulies (KFS) isn’t the only commentator who appears trapped in a mutual admiration society, but his donkey’s remark makes a perfect starting point, because I would dispute it. While the Chattering Classes echo outrage over the pardon, if you look at the comments, on stories, on columns, and on cartoons where comments are permitted, […]

Barry and Bell (Lynda and Darrin)

Typewriter interview with Lynda Barry Darrin Bell on the other hand traveled to the University of Wisconsin at Waukesha and engaged in a little Q&A […]

No Local News Is Not Good News

One of the biggest reasons for such division in this country is the extinction of local news…not Taylor Swift or pickleball. I promise I have no interest in rehashing why the lack of local news has resulted in this country not knowing each other or that news deserts give select mega news sources an inordinate […]

CSotD: Truth and Humor and Sometimes Both

I figure I’d rather have them out in the world instead of sitting in storage […]
