Do you want to know what burns my ass?
My burning question is about Krieger. What burns my ass is that Candace Owens and Rogan pulled through.
Bri said that the really stupid thing is that ivermectin isn’t an anti-viral, it’s an anti-helminthic.
A few people listen to me. Not many, but they’re there. More people listen to Tamara Wilhite, and that’s probably why they’re being so coy about it. People listen to L. Jagi Lamplighter and Moira Greyland. Way too many people listen to Rogan. And you know that Rogan and Candace Owens are going to feel their actions are vindicated and all their idiot followers who are taking horse paste instead of a vaccine that should be a game changer, not just against pangovirus but against all viruses, are going to feel their actions are vindicated. If Rogan lied about having the virus, I will not be at all shocked.
I got a Charles Harness book for a dollar. It wasn’t Redworld.
Another thing that burns my ass is that some asshole blogger has Redworld but I don’t and Brattle Books doesn’t and the Internet Archive doesn’t and Harvard Books might but I have no reason to visit Harvard Square for the foreseeable future.
I was thinking about buying Deserted Cities of the Heart but ended up buying Dinner At Deviant’s Palace instead.
I got an Aloo Tikki burger with desi fries. I got Indian Lay’s. Specifically Magic Masala. If you’re going to visit Vaanga without a smartphone, I suggest reading up on their menu. Maybe when the pandemic ends, things will be different.

George Chadwick - Jubilee - it’s exuberant but for a solemn moment towards the end. George Chadwick did a lot to advance the careers of Florence Price and William Grant Still.
Excerpts from William Grant Still’s Symphony no 2. - The first movement is a stately and pastoral dance with wistful undertones. The third movement is modernity exemplified, an upbeat jazzy dance.
George Gershwin - Rhapsody in Blue
Charles Ives - variations on America. Sam The Eagle would be proud.
Priscilla Alden Beach - City Trees - the screens showed the esplanade in summer, fall, winter, spring, and summer.
Francine Trester - A Walk In Her Shoes. Vocal music about notable women from Dorchester, in which the soprano and mezzo-soprano exchange sung words and spoken words. There really is a 12 foot tall bronze pear in Dorchester. Deenie trotter was an editor of a civil rights newspaper. Anna Clapp Harris Smith rescued stray dogs and cats. Alice Stone Blackwell was a suffragist, and answered a bunch of rhetorical questions about why women shouldn’t vote. Ann and Betty were slaves from colonial Boston. Ann died as a child, while Betty died at 25.
Aaron Copland - Lincoln Portrait. The real Abraham Lincoln had a high-pitched and reedy voice. There aren’t any recordings though, so you’ll just have to take peoples’ word for it.

Emily has two bunnies now. Coraline is a mostly white with black splotches lop. Bagheera is black.
When Emily was in third grade, she went to the zoo and a goat walked up to her and gobbled up part of the map as she was trying to find the alligators.
She (along with (Meg?)) went to a high school where the classes rotated, except for the last class. She suspects it's because the band teacher goes between the middle school and the high school.
When I was in middle school, the classes rotated in one direction one year and in the opposite direction the next year.
They were talking about something called a block schedule for the year after, but since I didn't go there by that time, I have no idea.

Emily asked Sam if she wanted her to pinch her so so she actually cries.
Sam described herself as a mad scientist minus the science.
There are no squirrels in Japan, says Rachel. So Ken turns into the dog from Up in response to them.
Julia’s in New York, which got a few fucktons of rain in the last few storms. She’s interested in the art scenes after a war ends. I brought up World War I and Dada and World War II and its return to normalcy but maybe this rock and roll stuff was definitely new at the time.

Rachel tried a few times to get into Archer but couldn’t. She’s not really into James Bond either. I suggested that maybe you can’t enjoy a parody if you don’t enjoy the thing its parodying on some level. She’s played the original Final Fantasy VII but not the remake. Sam, who has earrings of downward facing silver crescents with trails of hanging be recommends Horizon Zero Dawn. She has not yet played Nier Automata. Emily asked about Final Fantasy and I say start with X. XII may be better but it's not a game for someone inexperienced with the franchise. On the other hand, IX may throw a bunch of references to previous games at you, but it is perfectly good for a first timer.

There's an eight hour long Harry Potter play.

Lucky Yates suspects that they’re on ivermectin so that the worms don’t eat their corpse when they die.
burning question: if they won’t listen to a cartoon doctor, who are they going to listen to?
