It's a bit disorienting to wake up each morning without dreading what latest horribleness will be in the news that day due to the deranged president. There are many big problems to be concerned about now but now that...
Among my list of pet peeves, is liberal. Is this because the conservatives on FOX made it toxic so I had to choose progressive? Maybe at first. But I did the little researching thing, and prefer left or progressive for several international and historic(al?) reasons.
Kanye lost his touchstone when his mother died of surgery complications, and losing her, shattered him. It appears he started slowly spiraling out of control. His wife Kim may have filled that gap and stemmed the downward spiral, but their divorce has placed him back on a path of self-destruction.
PlanetPOV may have had a remodel (try out the rooftop pool with swim-up bar!) but behind the fresh, new look is the same heart and soul of The Planet but with some cool new features!
The world has changed, or rather it has been changed. The New York Times has not. They and all the newspapers of the land were once considered to be a major institution. That was when they were the primary providers of news and information. And of opinion.

This weekend's music thread celebrates Passover by sharing and promoting the theme of fighting for freedom and equality. Songs about freedom, fighting the good fight, social justice and songs about protest are liberating for this weekend.
Those empty holiday stockings are growing more excited about being filled with candy…not to mention the boys and girls dreaming of emptying them and getting those sugarplums in their tummies. So this weekend’s music thread is for songs about sugar, honey, candy and things that are sweet.
To call attention to Trump's cowardice (one among many) of always blaming his failures on others, this weekend's thread is for songs with titles or lyrics about you, me, he, she, us and them. But mostly "him".
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.
