I never had a source assaulted in front of me until today when an Israeli soldier who stopped my interview did this with a Palestinian peace activist Issa Amro in Hebron. I can't stop thinking how dehumanizing the occupation is on the young soldiers charged with enforcing it.

Weirdly I was writing a screenplay about the shuttle with @stephenharrigan when my wife brought us the news. Steve and I had both signed up to be the "journalist in space."

If you remember the Challenger tragedy, today 1986, and are so inclined, please share how you got the news and how you and those close to you reacted.

Just finished reading "Horse" by @GeraldineBrooks. After the wonderful story I enjoyed the afterword, where much research was revealed. Wish more authors would let us in on their secrets. I'm writing one now.

Seems like at least half of you have moved to Austin (or know someone who has).
If so, come on down to Lambert's Downtown BBQ Friday night at 7pm, where I'll be singing some fun tunes, along with special guests @MarciaBallBand and @lawrence_wright. facebook.com/events/11620550…

Looking into Post to keep in touch with all my friends who have shunned Mastodon for being too complicated.
Join me?

OK, I actually took some time to learn about Mastodon, the “not evil” version of Twitter, and this piece totally sold me on it.

The best advice I’ve gotten is just to jump in. Create an account at any instance you like. It’s easy to switch later on, and you can follow people on other instances.
Here are a bunch of servers where you can get an account and get started:

The big question is whether I’ll put in the time necessary to find and nourish a community that makes it worthwhile.
I’m more likely to do that if you join me there.
Look for me on Mastodon: @gordon@bigshoulders.city
