Read.
No one wants to read these days. Modi, for instance, despises intellectuals. My classmates surprise me when they sneer about 'intellectuals,' considering we are supposed to be intelligent people!
Read and read well.

Good solid reporting here from PBS - this is the caliber of person Trump wants for Attorney General. Gaetz is still quite close to Trump. Parenthetically, Trump and allies would just love to get rid of PBS. And so it begins.

NCAA president Charlie Baker says there are "less than 10" #trans athletes out of 510,000 college athletes
Republicans have totally lied to people about this issue. Please share so everyone can know the truth: https://thehill.com/homenews/lgbtq/5046662-ncaa-president-transgender-athletes-college-sports/

Today I had my first ever pangolin sighting. It was a tiny one, probably a youngster. We walked with it to make sure it got safely where it was headed and away from the road. It’s taken 8½ years of hiking in Taiwan to have this neat experience. I feel so lucky!

⚠️ BREAKING:
China 🇨🇳 Faces Surge in Deadly Virus Outbreaks, Hospitals Overwhelmed as Fatalities Rise
China is grappling with a significant rise in infections from multiple deadly viruses, including COVID-19 and Human Metapneumovirus (HMPV).
My contract has expired. Now I have to decide if I want to expend the energy looking for something part-time, or just be a normal retired person.
Got a six-book series from Kindle unlimited. When I finished the sixth book I was promoted to "tap here" for book seven. Now that I'm midway through book right, I thought I'd look and see just how many books there are in this six book series. Ten. There are ten books in this six book series.

For decades, Republicans have warned immigrants would come and steal American jobs.
Finally, they have a case that proves them right: A wealthy South African immigrant is now taking over the President's job.

Republicans cannot govern. This is true no matter how many times we are dumb enough to run this experiment. Republicans no longer build. They do not create. They bulldoze, destroy, burn, rape and pillage, they liquidate divisions to momentarily maximize shareholder value and then they cash out. They have no interest beyond momentary profit.
They cannot govern because good government is utterly at odds with their miserable ideology of greed, fear, and destruction.
It's just that simple.
It won't matter, cause soon the republicans will be back in power so there won't be any more hurricanes. They'll control the weather, right? And surely they wouldn't visit a hurricane on their own... And all the gulf states are red. https://mastodon.social/@RealJournalism/113679807426485496
