This is part of what’s so insane. As they talk about re-shoring and manufacturing they are actively trying to destroy an entire us manufacturing industry that already exists.

This seems good way to get mind off barrage of grim news. I'm no horror film expert. But I'll play. 1/30 Thirty Day Horror Challenge: Day 1 - Your Favorite Slasher Film. Tough call. Define "slasher"? Psycho? I'd go with "Halloween." John Carpenter! #30DayFilmChallenge #Horror #filmsky #moviesky 📽️

From @nytimes.com. Men and women being trained for war, for defense of country, are too fragile to read "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings"? That's where we're now at as a "Great" nation? Books -- paper with marks on them -- are a danger? #Books #BookSky #Censorship #1A

Everyone who works for PRAMS (the Pregnancy Risk Assessment Monitoring System) at CDC was terminated today. That appears to be the end of a critical program which monitored infant and maternal health nationwide across pregnancy, childbirth & postpartum. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/prams...

I just re-read #TheJungle. For view of our inevitable future rather than view of our past. Irony lies dead in pool of its own blood from self-inflicted gunshot wound. #BookSky #Books

Rewatched "Eternals." Not great, but so much is good (real locations, not constant green screen fakery), and plot works with betrayal that feels genuine, not forced. Had this been standalone piece, unrelated to "blip" plot, and longer miniseries, it would have worked. #Marvel #FilmSky #Movies 1/2

RIP Val Kilmer. When "Maverick" hit theaters, I swear there wasn't a dry eye of any 40+ adult in the theater. Mine included. Hits harder now. RIP #ValKilmer
