But as usual, libertarians will be tagged as responsible for the deranged craziness of anyone who also identifies as libertarian, no matter how actually not-libertarian they clearly are or how relevant they are, a standard that somehow only our ideology is supposed to uphold.

My old boss has asked me to give his new book a social media bump, because he has wisely chosen never to set up his own account! So I’m happy to announce that ‘Britain’s Slave Traders: A Hidden History’ is available today in all good bookshops!

A record 286 days at sea without a port call. Finally, relief in Thailand. The sailors aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln are scheduled to finally head home to the US on Sunday.
When the Lincoln finally pulls into San Diego, I hope that waterfront is packed.

Covid update: I am functional today and not bedridden. I slept around 13 hours yesterday once I got home. My body no longer has the painful joint aches, nor do I have a fever, and the shakes are gone. Fingers crossed I’m good to return to work Monday.

I’ve lost count over the years of how often people think Ben was a US president but I have never met someone who didn’t know he was real. 🤣
This made me think of the time I was around 5th & Arch St for some reason, where Ben Franklins grave is. I’m standing with friends chatting the church behind me and from back there I hear someone just realizing that he actually existed and wasn’t fictional?? 🤣😂🤣😭😭😭
