Sorry to be so late. I could tell from what was up last night that there was more coming … and then I overslept. Oh well, most people save it till evening anyway.

Sam Addresses the Murder of Daunte Wright

Attacks on the Asian American Community Pt 1and Part 2

Hollywood’s Walk of Shame: The History of Asian Stereotypes in Pop Culture
“Some people think what happens in Hollywood doesn’t matter” – Ouch. That really hits a nerve for me. Too many people think that what happens in art – any kind of art – drama, literature, painteing and sculpture – doesn’t matter But I am haunted to this day by just one story from an early issue of Ms. magazine. A little girl whose mother was a doctor was asked what she wanted to be when she grew up. “A nurse,” she said. “Not a doctor?” “Girls can’t be doctors.” You know she did not get that idea at home.

As I type, it is only about 10:30 am in Portland – which would have been more than enough time for TC to have posted normally, but quite possibly not enough time for a computer tech to have arrived, or, having arrived, to have finished. I’m going to put up the video thread early and wait before putting up a placeholder.

I know I’ve been kind of pushing Glenn Kirschner, and his videos run longish (this one is 9 minutes), but he is so articulate and really knows the Constitution, I find every second I spend with him is educational and profitable. The Fourth Amendment, people.

Really American – “Teen Love”

Liberal Redneck J&J vaccine

John Fugelsang is really on a roll! “The Matt Gaetz Prison Podcast”

Parody Project (and TFT) respond to YouTube taking down their video not too long ago. Brilliant. Also, a link to a new location!

Beau – President Biden is nominating many extremely qualified people, including some whose credentials are not exactly expected (spoiler: and probably better than the usual.) This pick is a case in point.

Rocky Mountain Mike – “Matt the Gaetz” (parody of “Mack the Knife” – lyrics at YouTube site

Karen can’t wait 30 minutes for a prescription

Meidas Touch – Media slant

The Lincoln Project “Matt Gaetz”

Trae on Georgia boycotts

MSNBC – BBMM makes Bernie laugh (OK, it’s actually more of a sardonic grin.)

American Bridge – I try to include something funny that’s not political – but so much today that’s political is funny – in presentation, if not in subject – the new “Karen” can wait a day or two.

Beau talks about Beau, and a story

Keith, from yesterday – straight from Madison Suare Garden.

Really American – “Final Four”

Meidas Touch – Rep. Grace Meng takes longer than Rep Lieu to excoriate ex-Guv Huckabee – and it”s golden

Robert Reich – How Corporations Crush the Working Class

New! Randy! Rainbow!

Dedicated to Karen (with so many memes I recommend going through twice – once forthe lyrics and once for the memes, maybe the second time slowed down with the sound off.)

Beau talked about “tomorrow” yesterday – so this concerns today – and is now already over – for today.

Now This News … How petty… How Republican.

Now This News – Infrastructure Plan, Readers Digest version. No, it’s not enough, but it’s a heck of a good start.

Really American, now crediting Chip Franklin (makes sense to me)

OwlKitty vs. Godzilla. Short dialog at the beginning: “We need OwlKitty to stop what’s coming.” After that, just some sound effects and a little purring.

How could I post a video thread today with out a prank? And this one is epic – an epic fail, that is.

Beau on checking OFM’s science homework
