Addicted to the post-40 learning curve. Pottery, ice skating, violin, ballet, languages. Perpetually intermediate but improving.
Ooh! Do tell! I could practice my French while enjoying my favorite composer.

There is a class action against him for accessing personal data and court statements (under oath) that his only authority is as a senior advisor to the President which gives him no real authority to do what he’s doing. So I agree he’s got vulnerability for the harm he’s caused-way beyond firings.

Trying to navigate Trump’s sociopathy is a job I wouldn’t wish on anyone. I think everyone’s on harm mitigation mode-one could give Trump credit for strategy but I don’t think it’s that. If being crazily unpredictable sometimes works in his favor, it’s just a feature of his position. Nightmare!

Sounds like a nightmare!

Mark in the beats and try clapping it out. Somebody can always figure it out-why not you?

This was a technique employed by the Diggers, a community anarchist group active in San Francisco is the 1960s. They would never identify anyone as being in charge so that no one could be held responsible for anything they did.

I think it’s actually dangerous for people to subject themselves to a platform that is designed to present them with propaganda at a rate of 1000 times any other messaging. That’s the design now -it’s either going to brainwash you or traumatize you.

But is that what happened? The quick tally just over the automatic recount numbers in swing states, the brag about not needing votes and thanking Musk for taking care of the voting machines. Something’s rotten-and not in Denmark.

Timothy Snyder is brilliant. We’ll have huge numbers protesting on “not my President Day” (Monday). Many of us are hoping for solidarity between inside resistance, Canada, Mexico and Western Europe.

A majority of Americans tend not to pay attention to international issues and geopolitics. I suspect it’s the distance. But those of us who do are overwhelmingly appalled at his shameful performance. What is happening is a Blitzkrieg operation but past won’t be prologue- much has changed

Perspective from a Californian: we have tools of resistance. They are incremental. There may be bad days ahead but the best time to resist is as soon as possible. It is important to stay informed and choose action (even if just a phone call or email to a Representative) over despair. Just keep at it

It doesn’t matter what the MAGAs think. They don’t intend to have another real election. They’ll just invent a victory. You’ll have 80 year old farm workers and mass death. And MAGAs will say it’s Gods will.

Speaking of flooding the zone, I’d like to see a lot of clear, accurate and entertaining PSAs (long and short form) explaining the value of our Social Security system to combat all the misinformation.

I don’t think I’ve seen any videos from you so I’m just taking what you wrote at face value. You might consider recording something you feel you aren’t improving at, identify a few things you want to do better and then pretend you are the teacher and give yourself advice on how to fix it.

Well they’d be after the triangle players anyway

I guess no one ever said “first they came for the violists…”

If you weren’t distracted, you wouldn’t be human.
