This is the video Musk is quote-tweeting when he says he'll deliver a feature length version of The Odyssey, just in case you were curious how dogshit it is

I don't know about you but I didn't know how much I needed a laugh until this rolled across my feed. PS listen all the way through, the three Eric Clapton references are priceless. 😂

I've been wanting to see the new movie Nuremberg in a theater but it looks unlikely that it will play near me. So tonight I watched it on streaming. It's an important and well executed film that will undoubtedly win awards. But it also needs to seed discussion.

After a depressing news weekend this remix brings a welcome Monday morning smile. BTW The tune is from the Benny Hill Show (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benny_H...) which I can't recommend because of its rampant misogyny. But the tune is memorable and fits this video very well.

This is patently insane. Look at the faces of the folks hearing this. At best there's a lot more context needed here. At worst it's an outright defamatory lie.

Pushing back on tRump's "honest voting" rant against mail-in votes. There's a map on the Wikipedia page that shows that most democratic governments allow at least some mail-in voting. You know which countries don't allow it, 1) authoritarian ones, and 2) those without great postal systems.

The news often makes it rough to be upbeat. But the Broadway show "Come From Away" lives rent-free in my head reminding me there really are good people in the world. Here's the opening number for your reminder.

I really wish I was shocked by this. "Supporters of Trump were less likely to feel concern for others’ suffering.. and more likely to enjoy or be indifferent to others’ distress... Trump supporters were just as able as others to recognize emotions in others—they simply appeared to care less."

If you haven't done so already, please spend a little time today with the exquisite writing in The Declaration of Independence. While it and The Constitution are separate docs, we must read The Constitution through the lens of The Declaration. Most of it is wonderful, some of it is cringe.

Every one of us has a vested interest in this no matter where else live. Fair and free elections are the cornerstone of Democracy. Threatening to deport a candidate that the President doesn't agree with is an attack on all of us.

This will basically shutter 20% of Indiana University's programs. It's chilling to read the list. Note that media is reporting that Gov Braun said that IU President Whitten wanted to "spruce up" programs. This is like saying that amputation is an effective means of hair removal.

It's important to understand the symbolism. Today the military is arriving to pay homage to the ruler. Not our usual symbolism of the military leaving.
