Oh, how I miss they days when Millennials were being blamed for not being able to buy property because they eat so much avocado toast.

I have trouble understanding why anyone, anywhere, cares anything about what this guy says or does. But that’s just me...

Well, as they say, accusations from a narcissist are confessions.

If it hasn’t been said before (and even if it has) I say sure, give her the same privacy she afforded David Hogg after the Parkland shootings. It’s only fair.

Good. I still find myself crying when I read about Elijah McClain’s torture and murder. I have a very dear family member who is also on the autism spectrum, a really sweet human being, very intelligent and gentle, and a very talented musician and computer scientist. So I identify, even if indirectly, with Elijah’s…

I agree that makes sense. But I do remember Al Gore being quite visible and in the news during his Vice Presidency, so there’s that.

I am indeed interested, thanks. What concerns me, though, is that this information isn’t more in the news. Reporters seem to be like pack animals, and right now they’re chasing Biden and barking about inflation, so no time for much else.

I like Kamala Harris a lot. I’m not concerned as much about bad press (of which I’ve seen very little) so much as NO press: I was hoping that she might develop into a serious contender for the Presidency, especially considering Joe Biden’s age, but she seems to have become invisible. I’m not sure how much of that is…

It’s about time. Elijah McClain’s story has made me cry several times; a very dear member of my family is high-performing autistic - brilliant, sensitive, and different - and I can’t help but imagine him under similar circumstances. I can only imagine Elijah’s confusion, pain, helplessness, and terror, and I hope that…

I’m a musician. I remember how much I used to (and still do, when no one else is listening) like playing when high on reefer. I also remember a night, long ago, when I was REALLY high and recorded a set I thought was probably the best I had played in months. Nope. It was actually sort of embarrassing to hear the…

“But now I ask myself, why? Why did I think, for even a second, that this was something to express?” Tramontin said in a statement, the Advocate notes. “I have to be honest that I was caught up in the deep political divide and the toxic rhetoric that this country has been living in for the past several years. My…

On the other hand, Trump’s base isn’t into that respectful stuff, they LIKE that Trump is insane. Pence can behave himself in public, but he has all the charisma of a potted plant, and I think a lot of Trump’s fans would lose interest if Pence took Trump’s place on the ballot. Some conflicted Republicans might return…

Donald Trump is a human first. A husband. A father. An uncle. An American.

I know, I feel the same way, but the 3rd degree/manslaughter charges are probably the most likely to stick. For first degree you’d have to prove premeditation, for second degree you’d have to prove intent, both of which can be difficult. Third degree includes unintentional death, so even if he claims and establishes…

“By an 8-point margin, more voters picked Trump (44 percent) as a better leader during the crisis than Biden (36 percent), though voters were split evenly in the survey when asked whom they would trust to handle the issue.”

Because, of course, we all know that Dear Leader ALWAYS tells the truth!

I’ve always thought he has been out of his depth ever since they let him out of the cellar at C-SPAN.

In some areas, yes. Oddly enough, I’m in software engineering and while you’d think this would be a perfect setup for work-from-home, I’ve ended up in gigs like my current one where there just isn’t a work-from-home policy. There are a LOT of unimaginative administrative folks still running our offices.

That’s the truth, economics have changed and there aren’t nearly as many places with live music policies, at least not for dancing to actual fully-staffed bands with vocalists, real rhythm sections, and horns. Sad, I remember Chicago as being a great place for live music.

I started as a free-lance professional sideman; for 15 years I generally had the whole day to myself to practice (of course), but also to listen, to read books, to go to the grocery store, do my laundry, ride my bike, and so on. At night (or when recordings were scheduled) I’d set up, play, socialize, network, and…
