Have you been noticing the high incidence, as well as annoying repetition, of drug ads on TV? Ever gone to your doctor to request prescription for one? Take a read at this article I caught from Numlock News.

Worried about what's happening to American schools. Here's a look:

What did Mika Brzezinski and #KnowYourValue have to sacrifice in order to reap the big bucks #AbuDhabi must be paying to get this important meeting on arab sand? Wasn't the #WorldCup bad enough? Will there be any #Jews there?

Because #JimJordan and #MattGaetz were rightly rejected from the January 6 committee, #SpeakerMcCarthy has refused to seat and #Democrats from the important #JudiciaryCommittee. Some may think it similar, but there's no excuse for banning legal minds like Rep. Jamie Raskin!

In today's #NewYorkTimes, Paul Krugman writes about the ways US policy benefits #ruralAmerkca despite the lies saying cities and suburbs dominate. This op-ed column is worth your time to read and think as you let politicians use you for their purposes. nytimes.com/2023/01/26/opi…

So, Mika Brzezinski, how is Know Your Value going to help girls and women who work in #Walmart, on the factory floor, or in other entry level positions to resist the rampant sexism and racism aimed at them? Where are you in helping them take the first steps?

Hope much American history do Americans know? Not much, according to Republican pollster Frank Luntz. Here’s a map of where people are best informed.

⁦Joe Scarborough⁩: this AM’s coverage of the Ohio rail disaster ignored these big issues while focusing on human interest. Keep your eye on the ball! Institutional issues at base of most of our problems. washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/…

As usual, ⁦David French⁩ allows the courage of a former #FoxNews voice to tell the truth about a news network that’s afraid to tell the truth to its viewers. No longer a news organization, just a partisan panderer. Via NYT nytimes.com/2023/02/26/opi…

I’ve posted a review of The Gibson Brothers new recording “Darkest Hour,” filled with new material. Produced by Jerry Douglas with well chosen guests. Read my review and then get the CD. tedlehmann.blogspot.com

via @NYTimes comes this article re ⁦MichaelCleveland⁩’s new release as well as lots of great information for those of you who don’t know his story. Read the article and play the song. nytimes.com/2023/02/28/art…

Converting office spaces to residential units across a broad range of incomes makes huge sense as increasingly people are working from home. Give this one a read! washingtonpost.com/opinions/2023/…

Just a thought about what makes us worthy of a healthy Uncle Sam. "Give me your tired, your poor...."

Give this piece from the ⁦The New York Times⁩ for some ideas about why reading is dying. Spoiler: Don’t blame devices….. nytimes.com/2023/03/09/opi…

Sad, as I watch humane and worthwhile employment, especially among skilled workers and those doing the menial jobs we need to have accomplished, is becoming less able to support people.

Great rendition as DarinBrookeAldridge join @vincegill00168 singing Vince's wonderful song "Go Rest High on the Mountain," his song written on the death of his brother. Give it a listen: fb.watch/jc8zd7Go9_/

I've posted my review of "Steve Jobs" by Walter Isaacson. This lively, readable, and comprehensive view is well worth your time if you're interested in computers or their influence on the world. tedlehmann.blogspot.com/2023/03/steve-…

Wondering if #TikTok really is a danger, or is it simply a convenient way to express ongoing cultural/political concerns:

Just listened to this podcast by Charlie Sykes with his guest Jeff Sharlet, who's written a book after years of reporting from the far right. Apocalyptic view signals the end of America as we (many of us) know and love it. thebulwark.com/podcast-episod…

First, Republicans no longer run on a party platform. Now, those elected to #Congress don't think they need to present a budget. How can this remnant of a part of a once great system continue to run candidates? #GOP, please help make government work!
