sense of doubt

Though the current project started as a series of posts charting my grief journey after the death of my mother, I am no longer actively grieving. Now, the blog charts a conversation in living, mainly whatever I want it to be. This is an activity that goes well with the theme of this blog (updated 2018). The Sense of Doubt blog is dedicated to my motto: EMBRACE UNCERTAINTY. I promote questioning everything because just when I think I know something is concrete, I find out that it’s not.

A Sense of Doubt blog post #2184 - IMPEACHMENT DAY ONE: PLEASE take the insurrection seriously - Impassioned pleas - Tlaib, AOC, etc.

Impeachment begins today.

Here's some content related to this historic occurence.

How anyone could watch representative Tlaib Rashida's tearful entreaty on the House floor or Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's tearful confession and recounting of her trauma on January 6th with anything but compassion and empathy, I just do not understand.

Now is also a good time to share again AOC's response to being called a "fucking bitch" by Ted Yoho.

Because this is the hateful world in which we live.

And I do not want to live with all this hate.

I want to BE THE CHANGE.

Do you?

Or do you side with hate?

Regardless of how you feel about the Impeachment. This is a very historic day in our nation, and your attention should be given to the only president impeached for a second time and only the fourth impeachment of a president ever in our history. #ImpeachmentDay https://t.co/fo0e3Ez24j

HISTORY LESSON TIME: Yes, not only can former officials be impeached, but they should be and have been. https://t.co/GkqVdJ4vur #ImpeachmentTrial #ImpeachmentDay #ImpeachAndConvictTrumpNow pic.twitter.com/sVapllWshG

Time for a little history lesson for those senators who skipped those classes in college... https://t.co/6ogcgS4Ox6
— gmrstudios (@gmrstudios) February 9, 2021

44 senators deny the words of the Constitution and deny history. Remember the names of these oath breakers failing to uphold their oath and the US Constitution. #Remembertheirnames #Impeachment https://t.co/xmXWaXhBRH

.@RepRaskin at #ImpeachmentTrial blasts Trump for saying he can't be put on trial after leaving office. This will create a "January exception" to the Constitution which would let a president use "violent means" to try to "hang on" to power. January 6 could become "our future." pic.twitter.com/V4PkYIM14T

SENSE OF DOUBT STATUS AS OF 0705.04 - 16:45

Sense of Doubt is not currently dedicated to any themes or special interest. The subject matter is mine and may range from comic books to ultimate or from Baseball to feminist-centered media criticism. Until I feel I have enough content for multiple blogs, or until I am seized with a desire to create multiple blogs, this is it, and appropriately so. "Sense of Doubt" came about in Bowie’s Berlin period and the dark, ambient collaborations with Brian Eno. Like the Bowie of 1978, I have my own darkness that steals over me and through me, infecting everything. At the risk of sounding far too melodramatically obsessed with my own self-flagellations, this blog dedicates itself to that darkness, that infection. But it’s fun, too. Hey, I can be amusing? Or not. It’s the way of the [w]rench. Neurosis compelling action in insecure double-checking and misunderstanding evasions. It is my way.

More from the original description text that needed editing in 2015: Furthermore, Sense of Doubt is dedicated to the random. The theme is no theme. Just questions, doubt, and uncertainty. Feel the power of not knowing the answer. So dedicated on the last day of July 2006 by the Galactic Monkey Wrench.

The Galactic Monkey Wrench

This is the logo of the Galactic Monkey Wrench. I was given the nickname Galactic Monkey Wrench in college by a friend of mine who felt that I threw the monkey wrench into the cosmos at every available opportunity. Later, in discussions with my best friend, who is the Lord of Chaos (the Loc), he asked for my title and when I told him, without thinking, he blurted out "the gmr!" Since this was random and we appreciate randomness, I became the gmr, even though technically I should be the gmw. But gmw sounds like a car or some industrial manufacturing firm that makes a strange widget of which one has never heard. This acronym fetish may make no sense to anyone else, but my friend and I are quite driven to provide acronyms for many things. At the very least, it allows us to keep our conversations obscure and often private as no one knows about what we're talking.

A Feast for Crows

by George R.R. Martin

This book is a little slower than the others. But if you become invested in this series, it provides key information about the history of Westeros and the lands across the Narrow Sea. It may not contain chapters with my favorite characters ...

A Game of Thrones

by George R.R. Martin

Do I really need to review this book? It's one of the best books I have ever read. Martin is a great writer. All the books are great, and I am loving my time rereading them. If you have not checked out these books, start here and get ready ...

The Golden City

by John Twelve Hawks

These books are immensely entertaining. Treat yourself to some strong writing, great action, compelling characters, and a mix of metaphysics and theology. The ending of this third book, which is presumably the last, is anti-climactic and so...

Pathfinder

by Orson Scott Card

This was a fun book. Not OSC's best but very good OSC nonetheless. The best thing about is the time travel, slowing, and speeding powers of the characters and how OSC engages the reader in discussion of causality and time paradox. For fans ...

Swamplandia!

by Karen Russell

This book came to me via my wife Liesel who discovered it and urged me to read it. Beautifully written with compelling characters and a sense of the magical (yet realistic, somewhat). Funny yet full of the pathos that marks a good if not gr...
