So here is the plan – OK, not really, it’s juat a proposal. I welcome feedback both positive and negative. I will put up an Open Thread daily. It won’t be posted between 2 and 5 am as TomCat’s were, but I can always use the scheduling tool to put ot up at, say, 7:00 am Pacific (8 Mountain, 9 Central, 10 Eastern, not sure about Oz) and be consistent about it.
– I am thinking it’s maybe time to scrap the puzzle.
– I can include a cartoon every day – at least at first, they mostly will not be mine; but I do have the frame saved and can start making some as subjects arise. Besides, most of TC’s bear repeating.
– I should be able to come up with 2 or 3 short takes daily, even as competent and no-nonsense as President Biden is. there are others who are not.
– If anything in my personal life affects when or how much I will be able to post, I will, of course, tell you. Otherwise, not so much.
– There is no way that I know enough about 60’s and 70’s pop music to come up with blasts from the past daily. Is anyone else interested in that?
Cartoon:
Short Takes
Twitter – A thread from Michael Harriot, concerning the Greenwood Massacre, AKA the Tulsa Race Riot. It’s posted in a Thread Reader so that it makes a coherent article. It tells the true story of that Massacre of 1921, a hundred years ago. It’s not what you’re thinking. I thought I knew something about it, but I certainy didn’t know all this.
The Hill – 9 Senate seats most likely to flip in 2022 This is scary because the list includes both ways.
PolitiZoom – Mike Flynn Telegraphs How He Intends To Sabotage Future Elections With His Movie ‘The Deep Rig’. I consider this important enough to feature it both here and in the Video Thread (his tweet). PolitiZoom was started and is operated by Ursula Faw, who used to write at Daily Kos. A few others who used to write there now (also) write here – all are people I trust to fact check.
