The Trump-Bukele Pact, Exposed, by @boforbes open.substack.com/pub/boforbes/p…
Highly recommend! In the last 2 weeks of finishing a manuscript for PRH, trying to find examples of sympathetic resonance besides tuning forks, only to hear @DomNicholls mention "sympathetic detonation." Brilliant! @FrancisDearnley x.com/EliotACohen/st…
Back to my favorite podcast (after #ShieldoftheRepublic, of course), Ukraine: The Latest, with @FrancisDearnley and @DomNicholls discussing the fallout from the Oval Office Ambush and more. @CSIS @SAISHopkins shows.acast.com/ukraine-the-la…
Can't think of a more significant week in global geopolitics: the fall of the Assad regime (+ his asylum in Russia), South Korea's failed coup-from-within, Amnesty Int'l/WHO determinations of Israel genocide, France/Germany gov't collapse, Trump-Zelenskyy meeting.
New post up on military conflict and its contribution to climate crisis.
Curious whether anyone else in the U.S. is having trouble with @cvspharmacy? I'd heard they cut a TON of staff but have been on hold for a total of 2.5 hours, trying to reach someone about a first time Rx. Still no answer. Not sure what they're trying for.
In this column, I talk about interoception, our eighth sense, and the ability to receive, interpret, and respond to signals that come from the body. open.substack.com/pub/boforbes/p…
Why would @CNN put not only @ejeancarroll but their own @kaitlancollins in harm's way with an audience clearly on Trump's side? What could they possibly have intended by doing that? Looks like a message to women that predators and powermongers eclipse everyone else.
Key similarity between P*tin, Tr*mp, and other perpetrators: the fear of retaliation they instill. The notion that we can't take action bc they'll escalate, their base will benefit, or nebulous bad consequence is how they uphold their power. They define the ground of the battle.
New column up on proprioception, our sixth sense, and its effect on emotional and social well-being, as well as its social context. boforbes.substack.com/p/07-proprioce…
You know Russia's War on Ukraine is taking its toll when the highlight of the week is hearing @DomNicholls refer to Russia's military progress as "nothingburger." Great episodes! @djknowles22 @FrancisDearnley
Really interesting chat with @francisjfarrell on the Telegraph’s Ukraine podcast, good to hear honest, realistic on-the-ground reporting podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/ukr…
Just started my new Substack column, Bodies of Knowledge, which covers the science, psychology, social context, and practices of embodiment. boforbes.substack.com/about #science #psychology #substack #writerslife #writerscommunity
