Walking home from school, my eleven-year-old asked a classmate what she likes to do in her spare time.

“Study for the SATs”

Like a lot of people, I’m doing what I have to do, as I am not confused that the work that must be done is shared work, but damn! I just to want to read my books!

We could just be reading great books, watching good movies, and eating fruit. Instead we have to survive/fight miserable power hoarders. What a waste of limited time.

Leonard Bernstein’s MASS, which was a paean to peace and harmony and interfaith culture, was commissioned to inaugurate the Kennedy Center in 1971. I know what I’m playing tonight to mark its (essential) end.

Agree
The AP should stop covering Trump events. Instead send those White House reporters out into the field to report on the harms and repercussions of his policies.

The U.S. public never needed coverage of pseudo-events anyway.
Associated Press: “Today we were informed by the White House that if AP did not align its editorial standards with President Donald Trump’s executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, AP would be barred from accessing an event in the Oval Office.“

Whether it's Hillary Clinton sharing risotto tips on a private email server or Elon Musk giving full access to all government information to a nineteen-year old named Big Balls with ties to a child pornography collective known for its extortion techniques, both sides have played loose with security.
