I have devolved into complete pessimism reading implied class prejudice from those supposedly allies and probably not. Congrats on your educated uselessness. You’re one of them.

Yesterday the President fell asleep, yet again, during a televised fake Cabinet meeting staged so that each of his courtiers could heap praise on him, praise for which he couldn't stay conscious. He woke up just long enough to spew racism. Why is this not being treated as an emergency? >

I know I'm showing my whole age here but remember that thrill of getting a mixtape from someone? A mix of music that they made just for you?

RIP, Steve Cropper. One of the greatest guitarists, he is in this video when the Blues Brothers (John Belushi and Dan Ackroyd) debuted on SNL in 1978. He's in a white shirt, long hair and beard. Such a tremendous guitarist. He backed Wilson Pickett, Otis Redding, Booker T & The MG and others.

Prediction: Trump's Ballroom isn't happening. No one has decision making power but Trump, and Trump has decayed to the point where he couldn't build a sandwich let alone a ballroom. Trump is just going to shrink and the East Wing will just be a scar and debris. AND he'll find a way to blame Biden.

Collar…physics professor, said that part of what his exams are designed to assess is the ability to solve problems in a certain amount of time…. “I feel for the students who are not taking advantage of this,” he told me. “We have a two-speed student population.”

Local thriftshops, and used book stores are alright by me. My goal is to buy nothing new (except food) until after the midterms. If it appears our Democracy will survive, then I might spend some money. We've crippled

Buy a book.
Any book, it doesn't matter which. The one you've been looking forward to, the one with the title that made you laugh, the weighty award-winner you've been meaning to get to. Whatever.
Treat yourself. Step away from it all. In this time of gross ignorance & madness, read something.
