"And somewhere in the darkness
The gambler he broke even
But in his final words
I found an ace that I could keep"

Rest in peace, Kenny Rogers.
I recommend this @Gladwell @revhistpodcast from 2018 w/ @don_schlitzwho, who wrote "The Gambler," and he sings it here so powerfully.
Fixing my link to @don_schlitz and the @Gladwell Broken Record podcast here. It's worth it.

This Spotify playlist includes @don_schlitz's version, and my God it is so good.
Especially right now.

"There are 3 painfully obvious observations about Trump’s leadership style that explain the worsening coronavirus pandemic...

1) Stubbornly committed to his initial impression,
"no matter how poorly thought-out, ill-informed, or inaccurate." Hubris...
foreignpolicy.com/2020/03/25/cor…
2) Trump’s judgments are "highly transmissible," infectious, then recycled...
The president surrounds himself with people who look, think, and act like he does. They echo him. If somebody does not consistently parrot him, they are fired...
3) Poor judgments soon contaminate all the policymaking arms of the federal government...
Even historically nonpartisan national security or intelligence leadership positions have been filled by people who are ideologically aligned with the White House.
No independent experts.

Michelle, Deion, and Rickey.

I would pick this government over ours every day of the week and at 1 pm, 4 pm and 8 pm on Sundays.
Some people asked, "Who is Rickey Branch?"
It's Branch Rickey, the greatest baseball executive ever, who fought for Jackie Robinson and integrated baseball, and arguably helped integrate America.
(Let's set aside the whole Brooklyn to LA thing).

Times have changed 🎵
Pandemic getting worse
Kill off our grandparents
To lift this economic curse
Should we blame Trump's government?
For gutting the NSC?
Or should we blame the lies of Fox TV?

No, blame China, blame China... 🎶

(China warned WHO of outbreak on Dec. 31, 2019)
China gave notice of an outbreak long before adopting quarantine/shutdown measures:

Dec 31, 2019: China warned WHO of pneumonia outbreak

Jan 7: China identified novel virus

Jan 11: China records first death

Jan 23: China placed Wuhan under quarantine
businessinsider.com/coronavirus-pa…
To be clear, this is not at all a defense of China.
The point is the irresponsibility of blame-shifting and buck-passing.
It surely could have done more and given earlier notice, but Dec. 31 through a quarantine in mid-January was enough notice for the rest of world to act.

It’s #Monday, I’m boozing it up at a 4 seat bar, the #barkeep is a long pourer, and I’m all fucking set if I get something stuck between my teeth.👇🙃 #RandomThoughts #drinking #OutAndAbout
Shooting the shit with a friend, she’s proud to be doing well with her plants - unusual for her.

The key was a #video explaining the benefits of pruning.

She needs REASONS. She got them.

Apparently, pruning in a particular manner stimulates growth hormones.
#RandomThoughts
Of course, this led to me initiating a discussion about the #movie I just watched on Hulu, called “The German Doctor.”

The main character was Josef Mengele. #ThisHappened

People, this is why I’m known in my circles as “The Black Hole Of Conversation.” SMTH

Joseph Stalin
@StalinIsBack
1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.
