Wait, Where’d the Weekend Go?

I've been seeing the "No Kings" protests, and while I agree with the message, the truth is if we *had* a normal king we'd be lucky compared to what we actually have, which is a mad dictator. We're facing down a latter-day Caligula, not Louis XIV.

Look At The Bright Side Of Life!

This is always easier said than done.
Some days you look for the bright in life, some days you look for the life in bright, and some days you just look. And you know what all of those days are fine. Flowers do not bloom instantly, some flowers take years to bloom once, others take a day or two to fully bloom. It does not matter to the flower, so why should it matter to you?

Not Today!

Those of us who support libraries, freedom, and history may find this project as fascinating as I did: The Uncensored Library.

There are a lot of ways to preserve information now, and to send a message to the future. As I mentioned here a few years ago, you can write a letter to be delivered later with FutureMe. You could bury a time capsule and register it with the International Time Capsule Society. I even wrote a story about a woman facing down the end of humanity by preserving some of its most beautiful creations for the next intelligent race.

Reporters Without Borders took a different approach. They created a virtual library inside Minecraft. Before you laugh, it’s hard to think of a better place to store and disseminate uncensored information than the world’s best-selling video game.

Providing access to independent information to young people around the world through a medium they can playfully interact with.

Here’s to knowledge, and to our future.

“We cannot shut the windows and pull down the shades; we cannot say, “I have learned all I need to know; my opinions are fixed on everything. I refuse to change or to consider these new things.” Not today. Not any more.” ― Eleanor Roosevelt
