I'm deeply inspired by @AgnesCallard from whom I learn so much, so it's a joy to share my podcast conversation with her! We spoke about Socrates, reductionism, how to be a good interlocutor, color, mysticism, identity politics, oracles, trolls & more! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/agn…

Reading is networking with ghosts. Writing is networking with descendants.

The thin contingency of History is a mind-bender. Kafka captured it well when he wrote in his diary: “August 2, 1914: Germany has declared war on Russia. Went swimming in the afternoon.”

Truth matters. The far-right wants to erase our history. The truth is, my family went from being enslaved to serving in the cabinet of our 1st Black president. I’m running for governor because I know the power of progress and I know that it’s Maryland’s time to move forward.

Time for a @threadapalooza on Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav (1772-1810), a mystic and storyteller, who combined spiritual genius with a modernist literary sensibility. Rebbe Nachman is the sage of paradox, a depressive who believed in the liberating power of unreasonable joy.

Three police officers went to an *elementary* school in Tennessee & arrested four Black girls. One girl fell to her knees. Another threw up. Police handcuffed the youngest, an 8 yo with pigtails. Their supposed crime? Watching some boys fight — and not stopping them. (THREAD)

Time for a @threadapalooza on Martin Buber (1878-1965), philosopher, theologian, sociologist, translator, novelist, mystic, and romantic. Buber would not be on Twitter, seeing it as a degraded form of relationship and emblematic of what he called "the Eclipse of God."

The time has arrived for a @threadapalooza on Richard Rorty (1931-2007), pragmatist, ironist, liberal, and romantic; a self-cancelling philosopher who imported European postmodernism into the American mainstream, and believed fiction could do what metaphysics could not.

AG nominee Merrick Garland chokes up talking about his grandparents fleeing anti-Semitism and how this motivates him: "The country took us in and protected us. And I feel an obligation to the country pay back. This is the highest, best use of my own set of skills to pay back."
