If you need a distraction, I contributed to this AllMusic list, which is surprisingly sweet and funny (and unsurprisingly informative) at times. www.allmusic.com/blog/post/la...

This is just under an hour long and packed with stuff everyone should be aware of (re: "the files," authoritarianism, what's actually going on and why people are acting the way they're acting, things to be on the look-out for...)

It's not like we were born with an innate understanding of N95 masks and airborne transmission. Many of us put in the intellectual effort to understand it, starting in 2020. You don't need a medical degree to understand this stuff. It has been explained, and explained, and explained.

Wow, is this a current mood. (There’s a nice little summary of how the hell DJT made it into college, if you’ve ever wondered.) Sorry for the preview photo. www.marytrump.org/p/the-pettin...

Another great interview with Sarah Kendzior. I've been begging folks for years to understand that the (establishment) Dems are in on it--this interview packs in a lot of info quickly, including a sense of how that's played out. We HAVE TO understand what we're really up against.

OK, I'm officially in favor of anything over nothing, but I was already annoyed at being excluded from No Kings, AN ANTI-AUTHORITARIAN PROTEST, due to ableist/ageist/racist/transphobic lack of masking; now I learn it starts at 9:30 here. Why? Michigan football game @ noon. 🙄🙄🙄

Someone said "Star of David banner" and I heard it as "star of David Banner" until a good 30 seconds later. (And, no, I wasn't thinking of the rapper.)

It would take around 1.1 million acres of solar panels to (clean) power the world. That's less than a quarter of the number of acres devoted globally to golf courses. You can see where this is going, right...?

Watching the Sumud Flotilla tonight and thinking about our friend Greta Thunberg, who was just arrested by Israel… and also countless other people who are just as brave even if we don’t know their names yet
The Global Sumud Flotilla, with Greta Thunberg, Nelson Mandela's grandson and European lawmakers aboard, includes some 50 boats and 500 activists and is carrying a symbolic amount of humanitarian aid.
Activists say Israel's navy has begun intercepting a Gaza-bound aid flotilla

Violet Affleck crushes it again
“We are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.”
Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!

Today (end of Wednesday for me) has been the most bananas news day I can remember, an endless stream of medium and major news, running the gamut from awkward to obscene and dystopian to unbearably tragic. I want off the death-cult train.

I just glanced out the back of my apartment to see a hawk dive-bombing a squirrel about 100 feet away near a tree, ran out, and somehow scared it away. (I half thought it might retaliate--it can fly!) 🐿️ Total knee-jerk response.

One of the first things I'd do to set myself apart if I were to become on online personality of some sort (which I won't because of my voice/appearance) is to record & edit in a natural way with pauses. I f^hate (hate!) how videos are sped up & mushed together now, algo be dam'd.
