Ink Fall

20 April - 14 June 2026

Jun 15, 2026

Let the ink fall. When it tumbles, we will stand tall, face it all together. Ink fall is where we start, a thousand miles and poles apart, where worlds collide and days are dark. You may have my number, you can take my name, but you’ll never have my heart.

It’s time for another roundup of all the writing and podcasting I have done recently. Since I always try to BOND with my audience using a bad pun, this time I went with Adele-based doggerel. Do you feel closer to me now?

Democrats See Nazis Everywhere Except When They Look In The Mirror

Michigan Democrats have denied Jordan Acker, a Jew, a return to his seat on the Board of Regents at the University of Michigan. Acker’s home and vehicle have both been vandalized multiple times with antisemitic and pro-Palestine graffiti. In his place, Michigan Dems nominated Amir Makled, who calls Jews “demons” and echoes calls to have them banned from Congress. Makled employs a campaign staffer who justifies the ISIS massacre at Bondi Beach as an attack on a “Zionist klan rally”. Seen as a protégé of Rep. Rashida Tlaib, he is a rising star…

Space Marines: Our Current State Of Progress

Four years ago, I wrote an essay about the constellation of emerging technologies that are transforming the soldier in the 21st Century into something a bit like fantasy science fiction. This change is not restricted to a single branch of arms, e.g. an ‘infantry revolution’ or ‘artillery revolution’, because it affects all military activity…
