How Edgar Allan Poe Became The Darling of the Maligned and Misunderstood

January 21, 2023 | FlaglerLive | 4 Comments

Could the pugnacious writer ever have imagined that he would one day become a cult hero? Nick Lehr/The Conversation via DALL-E 2, CC BY-SA

The degenerate characters whose perspectives Poe invites readers to inhabit don’t exactly align with a cultural moment characterized by the #MeToo movement, safe spaces and trigger warnings.

South Carolina’s Barbaric One-Up: Execution by Firing Squad

January 20, 2023 | FlaglerLive | 5 Comments

An illustration of a deserter being executed by a firing squad at the Federal Camp in Alexandria during the American civil war.

South Carolina decided in 2021 to allow its inmates on death row the option of execution by firing squad. With that move, South Carolina has elected to deploy a form of capital punishment not used in the state since the Civil War.

The Dispirited End of Jacinda Arden

January 19, 2023 | FlaglerLive | 1 Comment

Jacinda Ardern.

Jacinda Ardern, New Zealand’s liberal prime minister who just announced her resignation, faced a constant barrage of online and in-person abuse – from anti-vaxxers, misogynists and sundry others who simply don’t like her.

Ron DeSantis, ‘Injustice Denier’

January 18, 2023 | FlaglerLive | 39 Comments

ron desantis assault on public education

DeSantis has explicitly denied that systemic racism exists – characterizing the notion as “a bunch of horse manure.” That makes him an “injustice denier.” Akin to climate change, there is no legitimate academic debate about the reality of systemic racism.

Israel’s Ben-Gvir Is Celebrating a Convicted Terrorist and Justifying Violence Against Palestinians

January 17, 2023 | FlaglerLive | 17 Comments

Right-wing Israeli politician Itamar Ben-Gvir has a long history of anti-Palestinian efforts.

Israel’s national security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, hailed the late Rabbi Meir Kahane, a convicted terrorist, and is trying to make his anti-Palestinian movement seem less extremist and more appealing to Jews and the international community. A rewrite of American history could help him do it.

At the time of the Black Lives Matter movement, Jean-Michel Basquiat’s work is more relevant than ever. It highlights racial inequalities and the lack of representation of racialized people in the media, but also the violence suffered by African Americans.

January 15, 2023 | FlaglerLive | 64 Comments

desantis attacks on new college of florida

The governor has just appointed six new ultra-conservative trustees to the board of New College of Florida in Sarasota. They want to trash its tradition of intellectual freedom and transform it into an institution DeSantis’ base would love, a Bob Jones-style religious school funded with taxpayer money.

As of Jan. 1, 2023, foreign buyers are banned from buying homes in Canada for two years under the Prohibition on the Purchase of Residential Property by Non-Canadians Act. The ban is part of the federal government’s effort to ease Canadians’ struggle to afford homes.

Title 42 mixed with new White House immigration policy creates potentially illegal asylum restrictions. It’s time to treat this president, Joe Biden, as the same level of threat that Trump was to the rights of migrants.

Sitting All Day Is Terrible for Your Health. Here’s a Remedy.

A five-minute light walk every half-hour was the only strategy that reduced blood sugar levels substantially compared with sitting all day. In particular, five-minute walks every half-hour reduced the blood sugar spike after eating by almost 60%.

The Inflation Report’s Mixed Bag

January 12, 2023 | FlaglerLive | 5 Comments

Oeuf! Egg prices are rising faster than a souffle.

The overall cost of goods and services decelerated to an annual pace of 6.5% in December, the slowest in over a year and down from 7.1% in November. But there’s bad news too, especially if you are an egg-munching renter fond of frequent regular haircuts. In quite a few categories, the cost of living rose at an even faster pace.

Climate Change Helped Make 2022 the 3rd Most Expensive Year on Record

January 11, 2023 | FlaglerLive | 3 Comments

Several areas were hit with 1,000-year floods in 2022.

U.S. weather disasters are getting costlier as more people move into vulnerable areas and climate change raises the risks of extreme heat and rainfall. Even with an average hurricane season, 2022 had the third-highest number of billion-dollar disasters in the U.S. since 1980.

Autofiction is contentious. Some authors renounce the label, including Annie Ernaux, who views her first-person “I” as a collective self. Some disagree that it is a genre at all. Instead, they view autofiction as a “mode” of writing – or as a “strategy” or “lens”. Some go so far as to argue that all works of literature necessarily stem from personal experience.

On Rosewood Massacre Anniversary, Sad to See DeSantis Embrace Florida’s Old South Legacy

January 10, 2023 | FlaglerLive | 8 Comments

It’s sad to see Ron DeSantis embrace our Old South legacy rather than trying to lead us to a more inclusive New South future. Instead of demanding equal treatment under the law, open-eyed education and zero-tolerance for anti-Semitism and racism, he runs the other way.

Islamic Paintings of Prophet Muhammad Are Teachable History, Not Fireable Offenses

January 9, 2023 | FlaglerLive | 3 Comments

The first was a 14th century depiction of the Prophet receiving his first revelation from the archangel Gabriel, created by Rashīd al-Dīn, a Persian Muslim scholar and historian.

While many Muslims believe it is inappropriate to depict Muhammad, the recent labeling of such paintings as “hate speech” and “blasphemy” not only inaccurate but inflammatory. Such condemnations can pose a threat to individuals and works of art.

Here’s How Your Cup of Coffee Contributes to Climate Change

January 8, 2023 | FlaglerLive | 13 Comments

The pollution resulting from the preparation of coffee at home is just the tip of the iceberg. Before you can enjoy a cup of coffee, it goes through several steps, starting from the agricultural production of the coffee beans, their transport, the roasting and grinding of the beans, right up to the heating of the water for the coffee and the washing of the cups it is poured in.

Tourism Adds to Climate Change’s Damage of Antarctica

January 7, 2023 | FlaglerLive | 4 Comments

antarctica tourism damage

As tourism grows, so will environmental impacts on Antarctica such as black carbon from cruise ship funnels. Tourists can carry in microbes, seed and other invasive species on their boots and clothes – a problem that will only worsen as ice melt creates new patches of bare earth. And cruise ships are hardly emissions misers.

Maga Insurrection 2.0

January 7, 2023 | FlaglerLive | 72 Comments

Destroying democracy and calling it freedom: Maga's shadow showed its colors again this week.

Florida’s Matt Gaetz and his maga-hatted contras reenacted the Jan. 6 insurrection by other means this week. This insurrection is from within. It’s just starting. They’re about destruction, not achieving the country, their mentality comparable only to the psyche of the suicide bomber.

The Russian Roulette of Moderate Alcohol Consumption

January 6, 2023 | FlaglerLive | 2 Comments

Partially because alcohol is such a commonly used substance, heavily marketed and glamorized in pop culture, Americans’ comfort with and acceptance of its use in everyday life is remarkably high. But should it be?

What White People Get Wrong About Black Dads

January 6, 2023 | FlaglerLive | 14 Comments

Society rarely shows good examples of Black fathers. Social media commenters often label Blacks as fatherless and cling to stereotypes that if Black dads are present, they’re somehow unloving, uninvolved or even abusive. Here’s a corrective.

How Netanyahu’s Far-Right Government Threatens Israeli Democracy

January 5, 2023 | FlaglerLive | 9 Comments

Israelis protest the new government – the most far-right, religiously conservative in history – on Dec. 29, 2022, outside the Knesset, Israel’s parliament.

The new Israeli government, headed by Benjamin Netanyahu and sworn in on Dec. 29, 2022, is a coalition of the most extreme right-wing and religious parties in the history of the state. This government presents a major threat to Israeli democracy, and it does so on multiple fronts.

Perils Ahead, No Matter Who Is Speaker of the House

January 4, 2023 | FlaglerLive | 20 Comments

GOP House leader Kevin McCarthy wants to be speaker of the House.

The arm-twisting, dealmaking and vote hunting around Kevin McCarthy’s quest to be named House speaker have put on full display the fact that razor-thin majorities in both the House and the Senate create legislative and institutional uncertainty that has very real consequences for how Congress is run and how policy gets made.

Slavery as Theme Park: How a West African Country is Making Tourism of Atrocity

January 2, 2023 | FlaglerLive | 11 Comments

A lifesize replica of a slave ship called the "ship of departure" in a marketing video by the Hotel Benin. The replica would be part of a tourism development centered around a slave-trading location in Benin.

Benin in West Africa hopes to market itself as a major destination for Afro-descendant tourists in the diaspora. But the latest developments are walking a fine line, balancing education and remembrance with crude commerce and rank tourism.

American Impressions 9 | South Dakota: Crazy

January 2, 2023 | FlaglerLive | 2 Comments

The face of Crazy Horse carved in 1952 out of Ponderosa Pine by Korczak Ziolkowski. The white sculpture visible through the rain-streaked window pane is a scale model of the mountain sculpture of Crazy Horse.

For the Sioux of South Dakota it’s been a tragic, unresolved legacy of exploitation in the Black Hills. The rape of the mountains by gold and uranium prospectors was followed by the carving of Mount Rushmore and, for the past 75 years, the ongoing desecration of the hills in the name of Crazy Horse–what was to be the largest sculpture in the world, but has turned into a lucrative tourist trap.

Myocarditis: Covid-19 is a Much Bigger Risk to the Heart than Vaccination

January 1, 2023 | FlaglerLive | 20 Comments

Perhaps the most common point of conflict concerning Covid-19 vaccines is the risk of myocarditis following immunization, particularly among young people. In Florida, Surgeon General Joseph Ladapo and Gov. Ron DeSantis have turned against vaccinating younger people based on that misconception.

For the most part, cats were quite at home in the medieval household. And as their playful depiction in many medieval manuscripts and artwork makes clear, our medieval ancestors’ relationships with these animals were not too different from our own.

American Impressions 7 | Montana: Ghost of the Prairie

December 31, 2022 | FlaglerLive | 4 Comments

The unfinished, colossal PAR site--Perimeter Acquisition Radar--in the distance on the Montana prairie, one of the most massive buildings in the state, even in unfinished form, one of its most absurd, and one of the remarkable monuments to cold war futility on the planet. It's near Ledger, Montana. (© FlaglerLive)

It rises from wild grasses in Montana’s Golden Triangle, at the western extremity of the Great Plains, a massive hulk of concrete that makes no sense, that is as out of place as could be, and that will be there for thousands of years. It is a ghostly monument to the follies of the nuclear age.

Pelé: The One and Only

Pele: Held aloft as the embodiment of the beautiful game.

Pelé, soccer’s first global superstar, was the best to have ever played the game, the symbol of soccer played with passion, gusto and a smile. He helped to forge an image of the game, which even today lots of people continue to crave.

American Impressions 6 | Montana: Backtracking Lewis and Clark

December 30, 2022 | FlaglerLive | 5 Comments

Lewis and Clark traveled the longest distances of any state in Montana. Backtracking their trail is an exercise in contrasts: Indian voices could now be heard as they couldn’t then, but so can those of Lewis and Clark, vividly, wonderfully and sometimes disturbingly, while the landscape has either been remade or remains as intact as it was then.

American Impressions 5 | Alaska Highway

The endless Alaska Highway is a famed road shrouded in impossible isolation and amnesia, where boundaries disappear into a twilight zone of the beautiful and the bizarre. It is an endless wormhole where the unexpected and the sublime are so common that they become monotonous, where the emptiness is so complete that you can feel like the last person on earth.

Big, brutal, poetic, a hero among states, Alaska has always been America’s national park of the imagination, a 600,000-square-mile invention colonized by a few tracts of reality. An exploration of Kodiak Island defeats a few stereotypes and reveals to what extent even Alaska is becoming a suburb of the Lower Forty-Eights.

Only the Richest Ancient Athenians Paid Taxes – and they Bragged About It

ancient greeks taxes

In ancient Athens, only the very wealthiest people paid direct taxes, and these went to fund the city-state’s most important national expenses – the navy and honors for the gods. While today it might sound astonishing, most of these top taxpayers not only paid happily, but boasted about how much they paid.

America is more paradox than exception, often more invention than reality, an invention as old as 1619 and as recent as the transformation of the American “heartland” into a utopia. The contradictions of Cedar Bluff State Park in Kansas tell a different story.

The Only Doctors Florida Needs Are Dr. Phil, Dr. Oz, Dr. Laura, and Dr. Feelgood

Congress Passes Legislation That Will Close Off Presidential Election Mischief and Help Avoid Another Jan. 6

December 24, 2022 | FlaglerLive | 12 Comments

Reps. Diana DeGette, D-Colo., center, and Veronica Escobar, D-Texas, right, take cover as protesters disrupt the joint session of Congress to certify the Electoral College vote on Jan. 6, 2021.

Legal theories were floated by allies of President Donald Trump after the 2020 election that suggested ways to undermine the results of the election, culminating in a failed insurrection at the Capitol. That’s why a bipartisan group of congressional leaders aimed to pass reforms to the 1887 law governing this process, the Electoral Count Act, before the end of 2022.

Moratorium: Using this word in Florida is like that scene in “A Christmas Story” where Ralphie says a word that he shouldn’t and gets his mouth washed out with a bar of Lifebuoy soap. But the sense that sprawl is out of control is springing up all over, not just Deltona and New Smyrna Beach.
