Hey News Viewers, fellow insomniacs and early risers. . . . Welcome to Friday’s Free Chat and OH how I wish there were something to talk about! IF ONLY…. (Two of the most miserable words in the English language, according to a horror author I know of).
Anyway. . .Yes, it’s another day ending in Y but not really like any other; we’re having the equivalent to earthquakes— I’ll call them just nationquakes, the foundation beneath shifting, states and cities invaded by masked thugs pretending to know a little sumthin sumthin about immigration laws; the branches of government — all of them — refusing to do their jobs and refusing to resign — the GOP just carrying on word-salad interrupta-bully-thons masquerading as “hearings” or “oversight”; an incoherent president blabbering incoherently or reading Stephen Miller-y, droning on and on and on.
And so it goes, as they say, anyway, what have you, and so say we all. Oh and Live Long and Prosper and Resistance is Futile. Well, one or the other and yes, I’m stalling.
Because what can a person say when it’s all coming apart? MLK said the worst sin is to say nothing in the face of oppression; Maya Angelou says to do better, Thomas Jefferson may or may not have said we have to resist if injustice is law, it’s our duty, and Eeyore says “The sky has fallen, always knew it would. . . .”
So what now? Like Zorba, we could go last resort and dance. . . . But sans coffee, it’s easier to chat first thing. Someone surely will be more hopeful than I am, right? So what’cha got community. How are things, the micro and macro, for all of you today?
