That's a lot of words just to say you don't like hip-hop.

I enjoy his playing (the singing, not so much) but I had to stop reading the biography that came out some years back. He was one awful, fucked-up dude.

Yeah - life long friend of mine lives in England (I emigrated in 1972), and he and I have had l-o-n-g conversations about the utter folly and madness of Brexit . . . 2016 - they had a referendum that marginally favored a Brexit strategy, and then WE had a "hold my beer" moment later that year and elected Trump. Good God.

I guess really it makes me want them to be right, because they would have to answer for wilful misunderstanding of Christ's teachings. I have no delusions about any god existing. Me not word good sometimes.

I've seen a couple of the movies Rita Wilson's in (Perfume is one), but don't remember her. Loved her rap performance.

Social distancing was being practiced on both the bus and train to and from work (and I'm working from home the rest of the week).

There were signs at the Greenmarket yesterday to let the farm stand employees wait on you; no produce touching allowed. At the stand I went to for apples and potatoes, the people ahead of me were three women in their 20s who were right on top of each other. When one of them approached the potatoes, I spoke right up. She said, "I don't need a lecture." I said, "On the contrary, clearly you need a lecture because you're ignoring protocol." I didn't GAF about her feelings; her behavior and that of her companions was WRONG.

Ah yes, I remember that time. Bullying was terrible back then too, but at least when you managed to evade the gang of bullies on your way back home, there was no internet with social media for them to keep torturing you on, once home you were safe. I remember feeling safe for a few hours every day, it was a good time.

Ignorant sounds about right, never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
