This book by Seth Harp was unimaginably dark, a searing and gritty investigation of the inner world of the special operations community. One of the most interesting books I’ve ever read.
Today, I stepped on a Lego. In my painful effort to shift weight to my other foot in order to relieve pressure from the Lego, I stepped on another Lego.
WHY did I buy a 100-year-old laxative tin from eBay? Because a blind WWI vet I’m currently researching for a new project was a pharmacist and patented his own laxative pill after the war, and I couldn’t pass up owning a piece of his history!

I’ve seen just one counter-protester at No Kings San Diego. He’s got a Trump 2024 flag and this guy has been following him around for probably an hour playing Benny Hill and circus music.
