(On my FB page today from ABC News) New study: regular eaters of higher-fat cheese & cream had lower risk of developing dementia over 25 years...study did not find similar benefits for low-fat cheese, low-fat cream or butter. I'm not fat...I'm cognitively vindicated...

“Where in the United States does Antifa exist” proved to be a real stumper to the guy who just said Antifa is the biggest terrorism threat in the United States.
GLASHEEN: Antifa is our primary concern right now. That's the most immediate violent threat we're facing
BENNIE THOMPSON: Where is antifa headquartered?
GLASHEEN: ... ... ... we are building out the infrastructure right now
THOMPSON: What does that mean?

Long piece...listen to at least the first two sections. Transformed my experience with choral music. I sang with SF Choral Society when first heard this...ethereal. If you like organ, choral or not...this is special. As great in males vocals as it is with soprano/alto... youtu.be/Z1Wx87CtFPQ?...

One of my neighbors has been putting up these fish facts posters. All kinds of different fish, marine, freshwater, deep, shallow, all kinds. This is a good one. “Stg this real fish” took me out. Good work, neighbor.

Well, off of Facebook...testing doing life sans that media. It's been my main method of keeping in touch with my family & friends Stateside, so it'll be hard for a while. Finding news ways to communicate...and maybe I'll get more done...like studying my Italian. Bwahahahaha!

Ukraine wants peace. Lasting, just, sustainable peace, and not a pause before the next bloodbath. I cannot stress this enough.

Something good & real...not fake gold gilded or rotted from the inside out...this is American strong in the very best way...from the original Americans. I read about the dam removals a year or so ago...and to see this powerful piece was heartening. wapo.st/45rEKd4
