Listening to a podcast while doing dishes tonight I was served an ad by the Susan G Komen Foundation, and like a sleeper agent I recalled everything I learned about them during Karen Handel‘s congressional campaign and stint in office.

...philosophy is that much of it was the work of people who, in another era, would have been relegated to an immigrant detention facility " (Charles King, Every Valley: The Desperate Lives and Troubled Times that Made Handel's Messiah, Vintage Books, 2024, pp71-72)

Thinking about it more, Sir Handel should've had Rheneas' roles in both Luke's New Friend and The Switch. Hell, Sir Handel's one line from the former should be Rheneas.

She asks me to check out Chinatown when I notice that Kimmel Center was closeby and that we had been discussing taking in a classical or jazz show. Next thing I know, I'm looking at tickets to see Handel's Messiah as a birthday gift. How'd this go from spices to tickets? 😑🍜🍽😅

To fit in to the theme , something from Handel’s Messiah about comfort. Sometimes thought to say Come for tea my people….

Not saying I find it cosy, but yet I still find it comforting.
