Marc Thiesson referring to Charlie Kirk in the WaPo today: "[...] the killing of an activist who respectfully engaged those with whom he disagreed [...]"
Respectfully engaged? When?
The lionization of Kirk by people who apparently didn't know him is really strange.

Morning music: Handel's Suite No. 3 in D Minor, III. Allemande. Many artists play these suites on harpsichord, as they were written. I think they sound better on piano and that Handel would agree, but I don't love the sound of a harpsichord.

15 years ago today, I had a #PeriacetabularOsteotomy, a procedure that corrects hip dysplasia. I had the other hip fixed in August 2011. Today, both hips feel fine. My thanks to Dr. Millis and team at Boston Children's Hospital, surgery and ortho at BIDMC, and my partner. ❤️ #PAO #HEDS #hypermobility

Tom Lehrer, master satirist of Cold War era, dies at 97
In song, he brilliantly skewered clichés about romance, patriotism and small-town life.

Bach has always been my main man, but #Handel is right behind. I found this version of Suite No. 5 in E Major ("The Harmonious Blacksmith") by chance, poking around on YouTube, and it's become my favorite. #GerardAimontche youtu.be/IwjIiUNBiTk?...
