Thank you for the recommendation. We will try to see it but it sounds sad like To Kill a Mockingbird. I will have to take a deep breath. Have you seen The Thin Blue Line? I wish it was required viewing in high schools. It tells us so much about …

A few days ago there were several articles about the effect of Citizen's United, claiming Obama was right and Judge Alito wrong about what the outcome would be. This could be one of the unintended …

The New York times published a later article asking who the ancestors of Native Americans were because they are not found anywhere today. According to the scientists the times interviewed, Siberia was a desirable place with large mammals and …

Seems like a low blow in my mind for Lara Trump, daughter-in-law to the President of the United States, to be so cruel to Joe Biden. Making fun of others is bullying, which supposedly is what the First Lady is so against. Thanks to a real hero …

Isn't social media the social tech pain point of our times? All my friends talk about it. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/15/smarter-living/how-to-fix-social-facebook-instagram-twitter.html

Tom Cruise still looks so good. I wonder how he does it.

Mind boggling article about fabric and fashion. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/21/fashion/fabscrap-fashion-waste-recycyling.html There are probably lots of industries contributing to various kinds of waste bad for the environment but I had not …

Fascinating!

This is terrible. We have already mostly migrated away from incandescent bulbs. Why would we want to regress?

Some really innovative news on the environmental front. I had no idea that anything like this was even remotely possible. > Green energy advocates may soon be turning blue. A new membrane could unlock the potential of “blue energy,” which uses …

For more than half a century Michael Apted (now 78 years old) played the role of recording angel. Every seven years he contacted people and asked about their lives. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/27/magazine/63-up-michael-apted.html It is the …

I saw an article a few days ago claiming young voters disproportionately support the Sanders campaign while boomers disproportionately support Buttigieg. How odd. The explanation was that Sanders has the best plan for battling climate …

I am a rabid environmentalist who is very worried about climate change. So this article immediately caught my attention and raised my hackles. I was ready to do battle with the author, thinking he is a global warming denier. But then I read the …

This a long article but fascinating. https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/behind-the-scenes-of-a-radical-new-cancer-cure/ Sorry about the subtitle there... it should read: "I’ve now treated several patients with the new cancer gene …

This pretty much sums it up... we are not doing enough, fast enough, to get global warming under control. > Wind turbines, solar panels and electric vehicles are spreading far more quickly around the world than many experts had predicted. But this …

I am definitely very right handed. But my father is pretty much the rare ambidextrous human. He likes working with his hands and it is definitely a huge plus that his left hand is so "handy." He can use it pretty much just like his right hand, to …

I don't live in New York City so I can't answer as to how prevalent this kind of thing is. But it does seem like New York City, with the exception of Central Park, is not very friendly to folks who would like to just relax and people watch.

Thank you for thinking of me. 😊 The writer made quite a leap, from comparing the taste of a new meat alternative to governments outlawing meat. I am not sure I can get on board with the idea that if they succeed in making fake burgers as tasty as …

Although I have spent quite a bit of time walking in New York City I have never noticed the things pointed out in this article. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/08/nyregion/hostile-architecture-nyc.html Thinking back on the last time I was there …
