RESISTANCE OR A PERMANENT STATE OF INSURRECTION:
I have long wanted to have this debate... so on my part, here is the opening salvo. Comments are welcome: In Chicano Manifesto (1971), Armando Rendon made the radical claim that the United States and Mexico were technically still in a state of war (1846-1848) because the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo was violated prior to even its signing, and that therefore, a state of war continues to this day. Rendon’s claim was based on war having been waged against Mexico; half of its territories were illegally seized via war or threat of war during the 1830s through the 1850s; and sever... more »

Turkey Kisses Democracy Güle Güle
I've been to Turkey a dozen times; I love the country. On my first trip there I was just a kid in a VW camper van on the way to India.

Science put paid to all that, chased the spirits from their woods and pools, drove the fairies from their hills. Disenchanted the landscape. Well, maybe not. It depends on how you define enchantment.

Starbursts In Virgo
Starburst galaxies are where stars are forming at such a breakneck rate that the galaxy is eating up its gas supply faster than it can be replenished. There are several different factors that can lead to such an ideal environment in which stars can form at such a rapid rate. Crucially, there has to be a sufficiently massive supply of gas. This might be acquired in a number of ways -- for example by passing very close to another galaxy, in a full-blown galactic collision, or as a result of some event that forces lots of gas into a relatively small space. read more

"Suppose that we are wise enough to learn and know - and yet not wise enough to control our learning and knowledge, so that we use it to destroy ourselves? Even if that is so, knowledge remains better than ignorance.

That was the choice of Achilles, and it is mine, too." - Isaac Asimov

The other half of *The World This Weekend *was spent on that study which found that most Anglicans voted to leave the European Union - in pointed contrast to the Church's strongly pro-Remain hierarchy. Mark Mardell duly went forth, like a Martian sending a postcard home, to talk unto the Anglicans. His particular focus was on their views of Englishness. He found that they are pro-English and profoundly patriotic. The Anglican leadership, in contrast, remains strong in believing that the Church needs to focus on being welcoming to the whole world.

Happy Easter
I guess it's Easter today, which I would have known for sure if my parents were alive, but that was a while ago now. For those of you who do observe the occasion, I hope you have a joyful day celebrating with your loved ones. Of course, to a lot of people Easter means rebirth and renewed hope and all that sort of thing. So I'll leave you all with some photos from yesterday's Tax March in San Francisco. Which does make me a little hopeful--not because I think this will work and Trump and/or Congressional Republicans will have a massive change of heart, but because of the spirit and c... more »
