Yesterday, I got up slightly before I had intended to, and managed to stay on track to get to bed in time to get up even earlier today for the radio opera. I also listened to two Substack videos which discussed the $2B Jared Kushner got from Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates. One was Malcolm’s, and he went into some detail about how Jared’s smartphone is almost certainly hacked by them, as well as Ivanka’s, their kids’ phones, and their dog. Yes, the dog (if they have one -they may be, like Daddy, too cold-blooded.) It never occurred to me, but the microchips which are so highly recommended and which have reunited some many animals with their families, are electronic, and therefore can be hacked. You probably wouldn’t get barks or meows, but you might get coordinates.<\/p>\n
I subscribe to Andy<\/a>, but don’t often post him. So many of his posts are partial, with half or more restricted to paid subscribers, and as far as I can tell, Substack doesn’thave gift links. But this one is the Andy you remember, complete with Harland Dorrinson.<\/p>\n Definitely not new – but definitely needed and needs and will continue to need to be said – and as forcefully as possible. I’m seriously considering printing a few paper copies and taking them with me anywhere I go (ever though that’s almost nowhere almost never.) And yes, the video today is also Robert Reich<\/a> – because it goes with The Conversation article.<\/p>\n This is from earlier in the week, and today is almost Sunday,<\/a> and I try to find good news not involving politics or government.<\/p>\n
