    Congratulations to New York Yankees’ pitcher, Gerrit Cole on winning his first Cy Young Award—one of the few bright spots in an otherwise unremarkable year for the team. Cole was 15-4, and led the American League in ERA (2.63), innings pitched (209), fewest hits allowed per nine innings (6.8), and…

    On Facebook, I posted a GoFundMe link for my dear friend Roderick Tracy Long on Facebook. Folks can visit that GFM link here. Sadly, someone attacked Roderick’s character on my thread and another. In response to that, I wrote the following: I posted this yesterday evening without commenting. In the…

    Congratulations to the Texas Rangers on their first World Series win in their 63-year history. I know that the MLB postseason gets pretty drawn out nowadays, but this team was tied with the Houston Astros for the American League Central Division lead, with 90 wins, at the end of the…

    November 1-2 is traditionally celebrated as the “Day of the Dead“. This is not in commemoration of George Romero’s 1985 film of the same name (part of his “Night of the Living Dead” series). Rather, it’s a Mexican holiday—el Día de Muertos or el Día de los Muertos—a joyful celebration of life,…

    I have long had an enormous fascination with H. G. Wells‘s 1898 novel, The War of the Worlds and its many adaptations, from board games, video games, comic books, and musicals to six different television series and four films—including my absolute favorite, the classic George Pal-produced 1953 version starring Gene…

    October 18, 2023

    Back in September, I’d seen all sorts of memes about men’s alleged obsession with the Roman Empire. The New York Times reported on September 15th: “The Roman Empire began in 27 B.C. and fell in A.D. 476. And in A.D. 2023, it went viral on TikTok.” Well, I’m not on…

    I want to take this opportunity to highlight a new book by Roger Bissell and Vinay Kolhatkar: Modernizing Aristotle’s Ethics: Toward a New Art and Science of Self-Actualization (Ethics Press, 2023). As I state in a promotional blurb: “This book is an accessible and well-written contribution to the neo-Aristotelian tradition,…
