Yesterday, I was able to stream the opera “El \u00faltimo sue\u00f1o de Frida y Diego” a new opera by Gabriela Lena Frank. Several from last season I have missed – they have only been available for a day or two and by the time I had time to watch, they were gpne. This one, thankfully, I caught. I had heard it live on the radio, but that’s not the same – especially sn opers with so much color, and with characters living and dead. And your choice of Spanish or English CC. and Isabel Leonard as Frida.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, Malcolm Nance<\/a> said on his “warcast” “We are now a Russian satellite state.” He said this right around the 30 minute mark, afyer presenting all his evidence that it is absolutely true. Depressing as it is, I think we ought to know about it. You don’t need to listen – you can open CC. which is never perfect, but usually close. Yesterday I managed to fing time and nergy to skim through an email, which I received last Thursday, from UC Health, which is now my medical provider. Its subject line was “A hopeful prognosis for Pope Leo.” I don’t know whether they sent it to everyone (probable, sinse it also included other health information), or just to those patients registered as Catholic (they do ask for that affiliation in our profiles, but it may not be required.) Either was, I thought it was a very kind thing to do.<\/p>\n I don’t know whether or not TomCat<\/a> would have posted this if he were still with us. But I can’t help but think of him because it happened in Oregon.<\/p>\n The only surprise about this investigation by Pro Publica<\/a> is that, apparently, our wanna=ne king was smart enough to think of the project (which I don’t believe for a second. Someone pitched it to him.)<\/p>\n Because Republicans know they cannot win unless they cheat. Every accusation a confession<\/a>. There used to be terms for the distinction Joyce is making – “funny-ha-ha” and “funny-peculiar.” I think we need them back. (Although – “funny-peculiar” being a euphemism for “funny-suspicious”, maybe we should use that instead.)<\/p>\n
