Did we make a mistake and post this album twice or is this your sign from the universe to listen to Kind of Blue? I guess we’ll never know.

Ok but what is a TV station?
Breaking news: “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” will return to nighttime television Tuesday, but station owners Nexstar and Sinclair are refusing to air it, setting up a battle between the network and those who carry its programming in dozens of U.S. markets.

Kimmel wasn’t fired for his remarks on Kirk—he was fired for using his platform to expose and critique our government. Enough! We especially need large corporations, with the money and influence they have, to fight back. sign.moveon.org/petitions/ki...
Reinstate Jimmy Kimmel and stop caving to authoritarian censorship!

We must denounce what? Violence? Political violence? School shootings? Toxic speech?
Yes, we’ve been here for years saying the same thing. Welcome to the fight, I guess.

My take: people who tell you now is not the time for a take are wrong.
When is the right time? Later? When no one is listening? Cool. You should be in PR.

Got my COVID booster today, from a CVS in the bay area. When making the appt online, I had to state that I had a pre-existing condition (but I did not have to specify which one). When I got the shot today, they didn't ask about it.
