Yesterday, as I hinted Sunday would happen, I slept very late. But I did have time to discover that at least some merchants will allow a customer to change their email address, even if it is also the user name, without changing anything else in the account. Of course they want a second form of verification, but it doesn’t have to be by text, it can be by email or landline. I didn’t het many changed, but I am quite relieved. And I managed to put this together. I also found a couple of Belle eposide worth sharing, and as I almost always do, looked t=at the end for other videos wich might be ineresting. I was drawn to a speech by David Brooks. I’ve not been a fan of Brooks, but he started with acceptinf responsibility for what he and others of his ilk did to America, and demonstrated that he can laugh at imself, so I stayed. Toward the end, he parapgrased T. S. Eliot in a quote which spoke to me so loudly, I had to look it up, and will eventually put it into a meme. But not today.

Harry Litman is a contributor – I think a founding contributor – to The Contrarian, but hw he has also kept his own Substack, “Talking Feds.” The attorney who joined Meidas Touch with his “Legal AF” is Michael Popok. And then there’s Joyce Vance (“Civil Discourse.”) All three are former DOJ prosecutors, and very familiar with how it is supposed to work. (I’m not intending to diss Glenn Kirschmer “Justice Matters” nor Andrew Weissman “Andrew Weissman” in the same categories.) In this article he has written a thought experiment rather than news. I won’t say you can find news anywhere, because you can’t, but you do have a lot of resources where you can find actual news. A thought experiment is harder to come by (although it may bee no less depressing.)
And then there’s John Pavlovitz, who wants us to hang on to hope without falling into complacency, challenging as that may be, and is always worthy of attention.
