Several student groups, including the UF Communists and the UF Young Democratic Socialists of America, organized the protest. These people are pathetic

The New York Times on Sasse

I got a photo credit in the New York Times Magazine. Here's some thoughts on the article around it, mostly on Ben Sasse, Florida politics, and higher education, specifically UF.

So, in exciting news, I can now add “photo credit in the New York Times“ to my list of accomplishments! And what a great photo to be known for too! These great posters went up around campus this past spring when Sasse was still hiding from campus, never even coming into his office in Tigert Hall most days. The article talks a little about the poster, but it’s mostly about the conflict between…

This post has nothing to do with the environment or climate change or any other progressive issue. Ben Sasse is a republican. OK, fine, so what. Well, he’s one of those rare republicans who are decent humans, and who don’t thrive on hate. I may have disagreed with him on policy issues, but I always listened to him. There aren’t many I can stand listening to these days.....Adam Kinzinger from Illinois, Liz Cheney from Wyoming, Larry Hogan (Governor of Maryland), Charlie Baker (Governor of Massachusetts) are among the few. We don’t have enough of those, which is why we have so many bad people in political leadership in the republican party and why we are in deep shit trouble.

Another reason I liked him. He did normal things, publicly and didn’t hide behind suits all the time:

While Ukraine Burns...

To read the news is to wonder if the world has gone mad. Autocracy is on the rise, while democracies seem to be stumbling. To be honest, some democracies no longer look like democracies. India and Turkey come to mind.  Russia holds elections, but no one would describe Vladimir Putin as a leader of the free world. Some writers argue Democracy carries within it the seeds of self-destruction.  The reasons are several but critical to a thriving democracy is an open debate and an exchange of ideas that make compromise possible.  Tyrants dare not allow diverse opinions.  They prefer to live in a bubble where information is limited and guaranteed to parrot the leader’s opinions. A recent article in Foreign Policy looks at Putin’s bubble to learn how it reflects his state of mind. The world may speculate on the dictator’s progress in his war with Ukraine, but the man behaves as if he is winning. Is he delusional, or has the west misunderstood his reason for starting the struggle? Could it be that winning or losing isn’t the end game but that prolonged destruction is?  Could Putin’s war with Ukraine be a proxy fight with NATO, one where he drains the Alliance of its s resources, and its patience, creating fractures within it? If the latter is his game, he may be winning. The war with Ukraine has lasted barely 100 days and already cracks are appearing in the western alliance, particularly among countries like Turkey and Hungary which are democracies in name only. President Joe Biden, though firm in his support for Ukraine, has softened his language as he speaks about the conflict.  France wants to avoid humiliating Putin.  Former Secretary of State under Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford, Henry Kissinger, minces no word.  He advises Ukraine to cede some territory to Russia.  Little wonder remarks like these undermine Ukraine’s trust in the west and allow Putin to sleep better.  If the United States weren’t a divided country, Biden might have a freer hand to play in the conduct of this war. Unfortunately, a sizeable section of the country has lost faith in democracy and prefers a strongman form of government akin to that in Russia.  It is frankly astonishing how closely today’s GOP resembles in mentality the Communist party of my youth, right down to Donald Trump’s brownnosing to Moscow. The insurrection Donald Trump fomented to remain in power failed but several would-be tyrants seem ready to try again. Florida’s governor Ron DeSantis comes to mind. As governor, he’s made several assaults on democracy. He’s attempted to limit free speech; ban discussion on race; attacked a free press; interfered with school curriculum; attempted to control social media; meddled with the election system, and threatened the Special Olympics over Covid-19 mask mandates. Republican Senator Ben Sasse of Nebraska is so confused by the positions some members of his party have taken, that he’s labeled them a collection of weirdos.  That judgment feels right to me but there is another actor in the room capable of havoc. Climate Change! In Climate Change and Human Behavior, authors Craig A. Anderson and Andreas Miles-Novelo discuss how the environment affects mental health and human behavior.  High temperatures, for example, force the brain to divert some resources to cool the body. That shift reduces its capacity to manage emotions, control impulses, and process information. That shift results in increased hostility. Others have noted the same phenomena and pointed out that hotter regions in the US and around the world have higher rates of violent crime, even when controlling for poverty and age distribution.   Prolonged stress of any kind works against the welfare of society.  We know poverty, economic, and housing instability create violent neighborhoods. Now we can add climate change to the list. Our fate may not lie in our stars but our weather. A peaceful world, a democratic world depends upon how we treat the planet and how it responds.  While Ukraine burns, so does the earth.  The link between the two may be more direct than we realized.

To the surprise of literally no one, Malcom Aria is an instant favorite of mine. So I decided to make a little introduction to Mr. Aria from the first few episodes to .... create a picture of what he is like. I hope others enjoy him as much as I do.
