Well, a class-action law suit against Facebook paid off. I was suspicious of the email–the "You only have 13 days left" urgency is a red flag for scams–but was able to get it at my bank's site. Paid for my tea order from Sri Lanka via Rakkasan in Texas.

White House correspondents are more concerned with access than with reporting. And have been for a long time. They are worried about being next to be kicked out. Maybe if they were more worried about journalism we wouldn't be here. www.npr.org/2025/03/29/n...

In case you or Gavin Newsom thought this was ever about transgender athletes. It was always about attacking LGBTQI+ people in all arenas of life. apnews.com/article/dei-...

You had your say, Mr. Roberts. This is what you wanted. Where did you think this was going when you anointed him? Now sit down and shut up.

The performances Joyce Anderson and Harvey Reid put on during the Distancing were helpful to my mind. I'm looking forward to hearing many of these songs from them from then again. youtu.be/xFrXwX9CWh8

Didn't know David Lynch made commercials. Some of these are more Lynchian than others. The second half is a a 16-minute Dior promotion starring Marion Cotillard that is as much a Lynch film as anything else he did. The Commercials of David Lynch. 34:45 youtu.be/RoCYbQBTmlY

Paddles? Democrats don’t understand the assignment. This is not resistance. Oh, and some of them wore something. And some of them left. And some of them didn’t go. And some of them shouted. Do you see the problem here Democrats? No, I don’t think you do.

“Jeffries cracks down on Trump speech disruptions”? Hakeem Jeffries is not up for the job. Democrats don’t understand the assignment. This is not resistance. www.axios.com/2025/03/04/h...

A day without power in the building. A day without listening to music? Or any other electronic supported entertainments? We’ll see how this goes. Also, we’ll see how much data I go through without Wi-Fi. (TIL Wi-Fi is a trademark.)

It was never about illegal immigrants. It was always about making all immigrants illegal. And breaking international law to do it. www.npr.org/2025/01/23/n...
