Longtime newspaper editor/opinion writer, partly retired. I mainly lurked on Twitter/X but I’m a mouthy sort so maybe I’ll do more here.
Middletown, Ohio is 3R’s Appalachia once-removed. (Reading, Writing, Rt 23 to Columbus)

The legal system in this country is already fundamentally monetized. If you have the money to hire the best lawyer, your odds of winning a civil or criminal case are better. Notwithstanding that basic but perhaps unavoidable flaw in the system, this provision is terrible.

Sorry but this is nonsense. Generalizing about “the media” is like generalizing about liquids. I’m well aware of the damage Trump and Republicans are doing to our democracy. How did I find out? Reading and watching “the media.”

My great great grandfather’s cousin, Confederate Gen. John B. Gordon, after the war served as ceremonial head of the newly formed KKK in Georgia. Called before Congress to defend its activities, he explained that the Georgia KKK was a peaceful “social club.”

Dang. Too late. I found my PW and quit. But good points, especially monitoring the crazies.

I did flee from X. Lots of pressure to do the same with Facebook but that might be a bridge too far.

I found it and quit. Now I’ve got to replace this crappy head shot.

There’s so many to corral. I’m still getting the lay of the land here.
