A Bunch of Good Books - Teri Kanefield

"It was a bit unnerving how openly Miller describes how he and his friends lied and stoked racial resentment. I’ll go further than that. For someone who watched for decades as Republican leaders riled a bloodthirsty racist mob, it was disturbing. You know those moments when Shakespeare’s Richard III basically tells the audience, “Now watch me do evil!” Reading the first half of Miller’s book was like that.

Miller jumped ship when Trump won the nomination in 2016. He voted for Hillary Clinton, worked hard to sink both Trump’s presidential campaigns, and has been an outspoken critic of what the Republican Party has become." terikanefield.com/a-bunch-of-g

I was a huge #Amiga fanboy from 1986 to 1993, and I enjoyed reading this: datagubbe.se/afb/ even though there's really nothing new you can say about the why and how of CBM's demise.

The Amiga was a great machine for that very small window in time when nobody really knew what a "home computer" was supposed do or be. Commodore gave us curious kids great hardware to figure that out for ourselves. Thanks, Jack Tramiel, Jay Miner, Dave Haynie and the rest of you wizards.😢

#povertyschool I finally got the numbers: many students at the school I volunteer mentor for, work 40 hours a week during the school year. They need to to support family. They say they are preparing for college. How on gods green earth can they take courses to prepare for college while working 40 hours at Walmart? In NM they need 2.5 GPA - I could not have done it myself.

After the Messenger's demise this week, it seems that the way newspaper financiers are investing isn't working.

Huge investments can't save the digital news industry, as nearly all investment goes to recurring expenses.

Just remembered the wife of the villain is white and even in RRR the Tribal-coded supporting actor was romancing a white person. There is clearly a code in Bollywood about white validation of Dalit/Tribal identity but I do not know what it is.

I was interrupted while I was updating video to change the fonts.
The alert went off to say that the camera in the cathouse was activated.
So I checked to see if shadow had perhaps come back. Nope there was a trespasser.

A New York man is suing McDonald's after nearly dying while eating a Big Mac.

You know, I'm not one to side with large corporations, but …

The possibility of dying while eating a Big Mac is one of the reasons some people order it in the first place.
