Still marveling at Gorsuch's Ohio v. EPA opinion, in which he confused nitrogen oxide (a pollutant) with nitrous oxide (laughing gas). He did this five times, never once getting it right—in an opinion overruling the EPA's own expert scientific analysis! s3.documentcloud.org/documents/24...

I loved the Yentl story but didn’t like the movie - I wish it had been a non-musical with a lead actress who didn’t try to look good. Vanity ruined it; I know that’s not a popular opinion. #TCMParty

Sometimes people let the same problem make them miserable for years when they could just say, "So what". That's one of my favorite things to say. So what.

Found a YouTube channel that just posts air checks of old radio shows, complete with music, ads, and of course, DJs. Currently listening to a great hour of 1973 music from San Francisco's now-defunct KFRC 610 AM and Beau Weaver. Zep, Chicago...great stuff. youtu.be/iialjyDYXk0?...

#TheWaspWoman lead actress Susan Cabot had a life that would make one hell of a movie; check out her wiki which says “Cabot had a seven-year affair with King Hussein of Jordan and their only child was born out of wedlock in 1964.”

Just FYI we’re entering a summer Covid wave right now (especially western regions in the US); you can see it in the CDC wastewater plot here (and anecdotally a bunch of my friends are suddenly testing positive). www.cdc.gov/nwss/rv/COVI...
