And here’s a free link to the NYT piece on the 60 Minutes disaster.
Bari Weiss thinks CBS reporters can’t get Stephen Miller to talk to them because they don’t have his phone number.
And she doesn’t know how to use a dictionary.

In English we know it as “Carol of the Bells,” but the melody arises from a Ukrainian folk tradition of songs welcoming the new year and summoning the forces of nature to meet human labor and bring prosperity.
Do listen.

Another beautiful Shchedryk performance amidst ruins.
It was set in what used to be a DTEK thermal power plant — now destroyed by russia.
The contrast between russia’s destructive nature and the Ukrainian will to create beauty even in the darkest times is palpable.

This whole NYT account about the weaponization of DOJ is beyond disturbing. Kinda feels like the US government fell in January.

So I'm going to try something else. Let's do this as a practical thought exercise.
