This is very sad news. I met Stoppard once when I worked at the Colin McEnroe Show. I got to shake his hand and tell him I wrote my high school senior year thesis about three of his plays.

It feels like the billionaires aren’t listening? Are any of them listening? Are they paying attention?

We’re losing the penny. Fine.
But [un-]related, I do not want to hear any southerner, nor Confederacy sympathizer, nor racist, claim anything about “losing their heritage.”

Don’t forget—place your bets before it’s too late!

If Trump is listed or implicated or proven to be a p’phile as a result of any future file releases, what excuse will his MAGA base glom onto? He’s too old for this to matter? p’philia shouldn’t have been illegal? He thought they were 18?

WDYT?

The party responsible has skyrocketed the national debt, made life worse for average Americans, and protects pediphiles.

Stability of our government, which allows America to be great in any possible way, will collapse under the fascism ALREADY IN PLACE by the MAGAs.

I can’t help but laugh at my guesses today. I always start with the same word. But today my second guess is the word that is the EXACT OPPOSITE of the correct word. I was just going in the completely wrong direction today!

While I admire the simplicity of the solution, to assume adults are, outside of 9-5, able to enjoy whatever creative pursuits they desire, is also fantasy. This is true especially for adults who are parents, who prepare food for themselves, &/or who have other family obligations. Reality is complex.
