20 years ago, we made a trip to the Cape to catch one of the last few Shuttle launches. Delay upon delay until we ran out of vacation time and had to return. Of course it launched when we were halfway home.😑
Let's try this again. Just booked a 2-week stay in Orlando.

Last January I was feeling so pessimistic, but I was hopeful about one thing:
That the leaders of the free countries that have been our allies would understand their urgent assignment to make Trump an international pariah in solidarity with the American people.
Instead they had banquets for him,

What Dooky Pill here is saying here - You don't need to watch CBS news at all! Just roll into the local bar and grill, and ask the town drunk and village idiot(s) about what's going on in Seattle, NYC, Paris, Kyiv and Kashmir. I mean, their thoughts are just as pertinent as folks who've been there
Dude taking over the seat Douglas Edwards, Walter Cronkite, and Dan Rather occupied for nearly 60 years has cracked the code on what's wrong w/ TV news.

One of the chief virtues of the book is that it’s nearly the only remaining form of media that isn’t constantly being interrupted by ads. Between the covers is the last place on earth where no one is trying to sell you shit, a place where you can still be a human being rather than a mark.
