The Life of Brian (In the Now)

I love to journal by telling stories. What’s going on in the life of Brian, in the now. Whether it be from stuff that happens at work, while hanging out with friends or while working on other creative projects. Stuff happens that I may just feel a need to interrupt my usual memoir-writing activity, that is this blog’s primary function. I share those stories here.

8/4/19: The Depuration of Danger

Aghast Can I articulate? appropriate the appropriate metaphor? perhaps not “Qu’ils mangent de la brioche”? Marie Antoinette never said it but might I declare Laissez-les voir les filtres? Is reality really all that? Proponents claim it a necessity activists I admire call for clarity speaking truth to power filters are thus suspect or made to [...]
