Happy Feet Friday

From a broadcast of Art Ford's Jazz Party, in the late 1950s, here's Maxine Sullivan singing "I Can't Get Started".

When we vanquish this tribe, where are we going to settle the tribesmen?

"The Stupidity of Tribes".

The propaganda machine told them Trump was Hitler. The universities taught them dissent is violence. The algorithms amplified their rage — echo chambers where hatred fed on itself until it was all they could hear. The tribe rewarded their conformity. And then the bullets came — four men driven to kill people they were taught to hate. A philosophy student called the Supreme Court and half the nation fascist. Forty-one percent of Democrats say killing a political leader is justified. Twenty-eight percent say the country would be better off if Trump were assassinated. This is what happens when a generation stops thinking for itself. Dietrich Bonhoeffer warned us from a Nazi prison cell exactly where this leads. They hanged him for it.

It's time for people to realize that "conspiracy" and "unfounded" are not interchangeable

 

Well, I wonder how that got there

"Underwater Bomb Found at Dam That Supplies All of the Drinking Water for Mobile, Alabama".

Man, I get annoyed by people who have backyard bird feeders, because they attract rabbits and rats...

...but, so far, at least, things haven't gotten this bad.

Sounds a little like, like...

 ...Now, what's the word? Oh, yes. Insurrection. "Democrat 'Superlawyer' Calls for Abolition of Virginia Government".

Marc Elias is like a Vladimir Lenin who goes around overthrowing governments, as well as all-you-can-eat buffets.

Working-with-your-hands Wednesday

I have to say, inserting oneself into the oven, however briefly, to place the dough strikes me as a bit...risky.
