The Guardian’s unquestioning support for the Warren Commission findings.

Dear Guardian, Why your unquestioning support for the Warren Commission findings? “Neither the Warren Commission nor a congressional select committee found any evidence of a plot from extremist rightwing groups or the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA)” Dallas lives with JFK legacy — but hate that spawned assassination simmers by David…

Style check for the September 2023 Vanity Fair Cover

Overall, is the cover really ugly? Check. Are the colors so dreary that its a relief to look away from them? Check. Is the pose raunchy? Not “come hither“ raunchy but more repulsive raunchy? In your face, raunchy? Check. Are the clothes ordinary and and the styling vulgar with a real “been here before but with more class” feeling. Check. Is the expression and demeanor of the subject unflattering to her and off-putting to the viewer? Check

Wired, Grimes and Musk

Dear Wired, is that the best that Wired can do? Offer us the insights of a self-obsessed pop star who doesn’t even value life on Earth? And you have her on the cover? You should re-brand as Wired People. She wants to go Mars. Grimes, please go and take Elon with you, and Wired can follow you there. How can Wired feature a woman whose main purpose in life is to have the children of Elon Musk in some kind of weird racist fantasy to increase the number of white people? Musk is not a good person. He is a Trump supporter and you pander to him and his mad scientist ideas. His satellites are making it hard to see the stars and planets.

Regarding, “The Looming Revolt Over Homelessness” by Jerusalem Demsas (The Atlantic, Jan/Feb 2023)

It appears The Atlantic has become another device designed to destroy history. I was in disbelief over “How San Francisco Became a Failed City by Nellie Bowles (The Atlantic, 6/8/22). People get paid for writing this garbage? Amazing. (See my article “In response to: How San Francisco Became a Failed…

Symbolic and mythic thinking: nature as source and bridge between science and art

Symbolic and mythic thinking: nature as source and bridge between science and art Symbol: from the Greek sym, meaning: together, with, in common; bolon, meaning: to throw together, a throw with a casting-net, a net, the thing caught. A symbol can’t be reduced to a sign and often carries irreconcilable, paradoxical images. A symbol can take many forms. It can be a dream…
