1 Starship Troopers

"Hard times are coming, when we'll be wanting the voices of writers who can see alternatives to how we live now, can see through our fear-stricken society and its obsessive technologies to other ways of being, and even imagine real grounds for hope. We'll need writers who can remember freedom—poets, visionaries—realists of a larger reality." —Ursula K. Le Guin

1 Mount Tamalpais

During 2013 I went for a bike ride with Mike Rowbotham up Mount Tamalpais. I'll never forget it! Great views (SF far to the distant right), great homemade lemonade and music at the top.

2 Logical fallacies

3 Trump v Biden

The first 'debate' analysed well by The Washington Post and Vox. Why do they persist in calling these food fights 'debates'? The NZ version was no debate either. Bizarre.
4 Marvel's 616

5 Why many Netflix shows are canned after two series.

Overtime: Bill Withers 

A great piece from Rolling Stone, written while Bill was still around.

+

Ruth Bader Ginsburg's advice for living.

 1 Let It Be? No chance!

The greatest band of all time are ALWAYS interesting to read about. Nuff said.

2 In the air tonight

Watching these guys listen to Phil Collins for the first time (we ever met) is cool, man.

3 Reporting on Kamala

Female politicians are up against it when the press reduces them to their appearance.

4 When black people appear on Seinfeld

5 Strategic mindset 

(a.k.a. setbacks and challenges)

Overtime: Light vs dark (Joe vs Donald - why are dark triad people so seductive?)
