Also, why not just steal the man’s fish? He’s gotta learn about systemic inequity sometime, right?
Give a man a fish and someone with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about people getting free handouts. Teach a man to fish? Yeah, that person with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about that too.

One more time, shout out to the very serious people who suggested that RFK had some really good points about public health. No way to have predicted how things would turn out, except to look at his past record and everything he said about vaccines.
Surely with RFK Jr.s nuanced and careful public health messaging, trust in public health is at an all-time high.

Alfred Brendel was the first pianist whose name I registered and, when I was 14 and barely knew the meaning of “interpretation”, the first one whose recordings I bought because of the performer rather than the composer. I still love his Beethoven sonatas. RIP.
