April 4, 1968 ~ Rev. Martin Luther King. Jr. Assassinated at a hotel in Memphis, TN.
The latest on Ron DeSantis vs. Disney Corporation.
As you might expect, Disney won most of what it wanted. They always do.

On this Cesar Chavez Day, Iโm still stunned that he remembered and honored a relatively obscure massacre for labor rights in a Pennsylvania coal mining town. Chavezโs message is still relevant today.

See, this is where AI robots can be used for good. Clean up all this shit.

Jack Hopkins:
โCassidy Hutchinson eloquently stated a truth that is seldom talked about:
Trump will eventually be gone from the Earth. When he is, and MAGA has hopefully withered to impotence in his absence, we better have a plan for re-absorbing the people who flock to him to be fleeced, now.โ
I agree, but historically, Reconstruction and post-Vietnam America are two examples of division that needed reabsorption and failed.
This is heartbreaking.
I guess the only good thing is that the mayday call gave enough time to clear the bridge of traffic, but I wish the construction crew had been able to evacuate.

Living near a similar sized international bridge makes one think about how nothing is permanent. Everything is vulnerable.
Anyone want to bet Trump won't be able to come up with a $175 million bond in 10 days?
This is interesting. I scored 5 out of 8.
Question for you all because #CoSoRocks
I have a friend. Sheโs such a good person. She has a tremendous heart and often thinks of others before herself. Lifeโs been good for her, and at the same time, others take advantage of her kindness and generosity. The question she asks herself is โWhen is it going to be my turn?โ
I was wondering if any of you brilliant minds had any advice I could give her. Right now, my reply to her question is โYou gotta take it to have it be your turn.โ
Ideas?
I prefer validated reality to anything else. Father, marketing analyst by trade. I like you. Kindness matters. Love is the answer.
