I recall an interview with Mark Cuban around 2008 after his net worth dropped from $2 billion to $1 billion.
They asked what it really meant to him. He said he might have to think twice about buying a second 747 but since he didn't need two 747's, it really didn't mean anything except keeping score.

They'll call anything they don't like whatever they want - obstructionist, terrorist, traitorous. Whatever.
Civil disobedience involves getting called names and worse. We've seen what happens when there is evidence to expose their lies.

We are lucky enough to have the library get us the MLA CE passports, outside of our modest annual prof dev $.
I probably don’t take advantage of that as much as I could.

Good grief. Not thinking, let alone not thinking critically and creatively, is exactly what the totalitarians, autocrats, and 1%ers want us to do in order to keep us compliant and subservient.

How much press do they get for their actual music? Have they put out anything new in 10 years?
Headline: Musician people barely remember turns out to be a POS, makes more news by not playing than playing.

Thinking about the late Rick Harris aka "Thoughts on the Dead" It's Iguana Day in South Florida. The iguanas have succumbed to cold induced torpor and fallen our of the trees, comatose. There are at least four conked out in my yard right now.
Rick thought this was weird & funny and so do I.

McPhee can write about anything and make it fascinating. Cowboys, rocks, golfballs, the merchant marine, the pine barrens, blimp-like objects, a single kind of fish, forensic geology, a basketball playing senator, more rocks…

New Orleans heavily represented there.
I lived there in when ‘goo goo’ and ‘gah gah’ were a significant part of my vocabulary.

His hatred goes far beyond antisemitism. It seems to include anyone and everyone except the most vulnerable and innocent. No mercy for anyone else.

I think his antisemitism was just one facet of his intense and all-inclusive misanthropy.
