I'm so envious! I only found out about her maybe 10 years ago and nearly lost my mind. Wish I'd known about her my whole life. Now I can't hear that song without thinking about how a queer Jewish woman helped write it and it makes me smile even more.

Your yearly reminder that Earth Wind & Fire's "September"--arguably the catchiest and most joyful pop song ever--was composed with inclusion and diversity across race, gender and sexual orientation. Rest in Pop Maurice White and Allee Willis.

Part of the problem is along with drivel like this, The Atlantic has some great reporting. The same is true for the NYT. This makes it hard to call for across-the-board boycotts of these outlets. It's complicated but Michele Obama deserves better than to have her name linked with nutcase RFKJ
Nell Scovell (@nellscovell.bsky.social) reply parent
I agree. My issue is liberals need to find a way to push back without repeating the bad information.
Nell Scovell (@nellscovell.bsky.social) reply parent
I think most liberals just get the NYT for Connections and Spelling Bee
Nell Scovell (@nellscovell.bsky.social) reply parent
And yet here you are pointing out how dumb it is so that the idiocy gets oxygen. Thank you for not linking to the piece, but you're still spreading the headline which grabs attention and keeps a bad message going.

You see the problem here, right? The bully pushes and pushes and when you fight back, you give him what he wants. Now you're engaged and he can explode with rage. Sanctions might have worked if Putin cared about his own people starving/dying which he clearly does not.

Okay. deleted my post

This is a really important story. Of course, the NYT quotes the Trump regime's lies about pursuing "a meritocracy" without pushing back that these firings were NOT based on cause. Still, good to hear these voices. Please CLICK ON THE LINK so it gets lots of hits and we get more coverage like this.

Have you listened to Taylor's press conference after the match? She was asked if the attack was racist and her answer was remarkable--nothing boilerplate, deep and personal. Starts at 13:00 www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGet...

In grade school my son was bullied by the child of Russian immigrants who was in the grade ahead. The mother DEFENDED her son kicking mine by saying, "It's like Russian army: the first year they beat you up; the next year, you beat them up." I was shaking with anger. Nice culture you got there

Start watching at 6:00 for a montage of political humor that aired on Leno's final show. And keep in mind that these were the bits that he thought were the MOST hilarious. www.dailymotion.com/video/x1befln

And let's not forget that the reason the Epstein Files found their way back into a national discussion is that Elon Musk brought them up on Twitter. I'm glad he did but sad that women are so discounted in our culture.
