I could not be silent about the horrible immigration policy. It's an outrage, a sin. It must be stopped immediately. Yet some twisted people out there are defending it. I can't even imagine that.

@ND3JR Hey, how have you been?

I've been doing little else lately but working and dealing with my back pain. Had an MRI yesterday. Don't get old, kids. It sucks.

Not at all surprised by the Ontario election results. I have many friends in Toronto. They were surprised. I'm not. All Western democracies are going into incompetent right-wing governments. It started with Brexit and will continue.

A social media friend of mine (in the UK) gets angry when the media isn't reporting on "Muslim rape gangs." Anything that isn't that story--Brexit, royal wedding, politics etc.--is an example of the media downplaying the importance of "Muslim rape gangs." This guy is not known openly to be a bigot, but it worries me a lot. 😦

By the way, I speak on climate change, historical topics and the intersection of law and climate change. I was just working on a presentation to use history to teach critical thinking to business executives.

Lately I've been picking up some contacts that might lead to speaking gigs. And I already have one gig booked for June 26! Exciting that it's happening so fast.

Extra passenger in the Lyft car that picked me up this afternoon. 😉

I live with pain every day of my life. This is what it's like. Look at that chair: what it's like to live with chronic, severe back pain.

Don't you hate it when that cute heavy metal guy you're friends with on social media not only cuts his hair and stops wearing metal gear, but now you only ever see him in a suit and tie looking like an insurance salesman. 😕

After 25 years of back pain, today a doctor looked at an X-ray of me and identified exactly what was causing it. And he said most other doctors would have missed it. I'm still in pain, but I feel like we at least know where the road to recovery looks like!

Now imagine all those deplorables who are sitting there clutching their Pepe the Frog dolls and weeping in front of "The Medium" tonight. 😂😂

So I don't suppose all those news and culture websites (I'm looking at you, Vox) are going to apologize for telling us how we all had to watch Roseanne's show because it was "bridging the gap" and helping us "understand our neighbors."

No one who knows anything about Roseanne Barr's history of racism and conspiracy nuttery should be at all surprised at what happened today. But at least now that awful show is off the air.

My back is in terrible, severe, excruciating pain. Kids, don't get old if you can avoid it.
