Today is the 20th "anniversary" of the attack on 9/11 and this weekend we dedicate our music thread to all of the wonderful people we lost because of that day, then, and in the years that followed. Share poignant songs about love, loss, compassion and humanity.
It wasn't wishful, or "aspirational" thinking that made Trump lie in the first days of this epidemic. Lies that may eventually kill millions. Maybe it's because Mafia thugs always lie - it's the air that they breathe. Maybe human life is of no value, according to Trump. It really doesn't matter. Maybe there's no reason, and Trump is insane.
This weekend's music thread is a supportive send off for the Joe Biden and Kamala Harris campaign. Songs about traveling, trips and adventures, songs about principles and issues, and any other songs you want to dedicate to them to cheer them on.
This weekend's music theme is intended to keep ringing the alarm about Climate Change and taking immediate action to reduce it. Songs about fire, rain, storms, wind and the oceans are in the forecast for this weekend.
I don’t worry about that despite the warnings from nervous people on what they have to say about Siri and Alexa. I frankly don’t care if these paired-down AI functions are collecting information. What they would get from me would be tedious and confusing at best.

The 4th Democratic debate takes place tonight in Ohio and as usual, PlanetPOV will be hosting a live chat to accompany it. Everyone is invited to join in and share their thoughts throughout the debate.
Why is Bloomberg saying now that revealing his tremendously complicated taxes would reveal his, "secret sauce," the secret to how he made his fortune, when he has always said that it was an open secret?
The themes of this weekend's music thread are about pursuing someone or something, and taking care of business as law enforcement and Dems will certainly do.
This weekend's thread is about home, family, friends and their goodness. While we're all in our own homes, we're also all in the same place together too.
