As I look into this supposed “pro-Hamas” letter controversy, I find a handful of oddities.
A Late Shout-Out to Head First Design Patterns

Ahmaud Arbery – Prosecution and Defense Opening Statements – Day One
Human Behavior, Politics, Social IssuesI recall a lot of confusing information being broadcast when this awful event happened. Of course, not everything we heard was accurate, so this is a good chance to clear up some things.
The Art of Denial
Politics, Social IssuesIt has been a great challenge to hunker down and keep sane while besieged by the unhinged ravings and actions of our unfortunate President (of the United States). I have been at a loss for words during most of this, but every now and then something happens that prevents me from remaining silent. I trust […]
How (and How Not) to Avoid Voter Discrimination
Politics, Social IssuesI was rather displeased to find this video in my daily dose, if not binge, of YouTube news. The headline alone is rather inappropriately sensational, as though these seniors were yanked off a bus, Freedom Rider-style, in Georgia for being black. That is very much the image that is purposely suggested. I have much sympathy […]
Have A Kavanaugh

It is a significant departure from the initial storyline which bended reality and had a more superhero feel to the whole thing. In Life is Strange: Before the Storm, you are immersed in real life. It was hard for me to […]
The Dating Game of Life
Gaming, Graphic Arts, Literature, Personal Computers, TechnologyFor those of us greatly affected by the first series, that is to say that the first series had a great effect on us, it has been with equally great anticipation that we have awaited Life is Strange: Before the Storm, Episode 1: Awake. SquareEnix, you are still holding on to that spark that first […]
Perpetual Damage Control
Politics, Social Issues As Maddow aptly concludes, this conversation will be closely studied in the present and future, if not directly shown to journalism students. I really think this is one of the most important dialogues between the US left and right since The Great Divide, we’ll call it, aka. The 2016 Election. If Republicans were thinking […]
