Taught a class on the Protocols of the Elders of Zion today, and every one of my students said they've seen content on TikTok that comes directly from it, without knowing before today what the source was.

For satire to work, it must either be so outrageous as to make us take pause or it must be rooted in truth. I believe this is satire rooted in truth.

A reminder that last baseball season, our newly enshrined women’s singles Olympic gold medalist Alysa Liu threw out the first pitch at a Cardinals game with a pretty sweet double axel on land!

A medium-sized mutt with a curly tail that is backlit in the sun.

Same dog looking extremely unkempt.

Todd is almost 10. I'm the 3rd old lady that he's lived with. I'm pretty sure he's never been groomed. When I brush him, he looks exactly the same 10 minutes later. I don't know what to do with him. I've never had a dog with this kind of coat.

Behind almost every university crisis:
1) shady real estate deals or even worse financial malfeasance
2) sports

And the solution is always to shrink the humanities, the reliable profit center

Absolutely my favorite Olympian. No one else is close.

Joneal Joplin was involved. So was Sally Eaton. I thought John Contini as well, but I'm not sure.

20 or so years ago, I could have told you the actors' names behind many of The Letter People. Now I seem to only remember two and I'm not sure which letter they were. They were all older local actors at the very beginning of my daughter's theater career.

Wow.

They have even invaded Beaufort, Missouri. How much do they get in return for giving up valuable space in a tiny grocery?

A lot of geese heading nòrth today. My app tells me they're the Greater White Fronted Goose. Classic V pattern and really hard to see.

Kirkwood has Scott Bacula, Colin Donnell, Nikki Glaser and more. But I went to Lindbergh. Not aware of any actors, but I may be wrong. I've managed to avoid all reunions and haven't set foot in that place since graduation. It was not my favorite place in 1974.

Gigantic HS in the St Louis suburbs. Over 1,000 in my class of 1974 alone. I have no idea if anyone is famous. I guess we were all dummies.

He's a west coast ass who has bought into the whole flyover concept. We don't really count, except maybe Chicago on occasion.

Let him wear it. It's photos of dead athletes. If it said fck Russia I might feel differently.

Don't give anything an Emmy until it's as good as this.

My grandmother came through Ellis Island at age 6 in 1903 with her mother and 2 brothers from Hungary. No questions asked other than who is meeting you on this end. My great grandfather had arrived a year earlier and was employed as a glassblower in Alton Illinois.

He was an embarrassment when he was a local politician, so of course he had to be elevated to our senator. With a gulf of america hat to boot. What a putz.

Tohru does not want the snow to melt.

I really wasn't ready for a colorful version of my ancient moka pot to show up in the opening ceremony.

Excerpt Kendzior book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT (2020)

From HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT:

"Trump covers up crime with scandal. That is his main propaganda tactic, the one few seem to be able to discern...The crimes are much worse than the scandals, but the media will always take the scandal bait."

This one escaped me in my childhood filled with novelty tunes. 1965 The Chad Mitchell Trio.

This took some getting used to when I moved here. Our closest takeout is a deli counter in a small grocery 6 miles away. We have to cook and avoid processed food at the same time. Using minimal boxes or cans is time-consuming. I could not do it while employed full time.
