Why is it that the food you have to pay for on the plane is even worse than the food that used to be free?

You’d think, if we now have to pay for it, why not make it good and just charge more?

Somehow only now discovered that Bill Clinton, George Bush and Donald Trump were all born within 12 weeks of each other in the summer of '46. (Joe Biden is older than all of them — autumn of '42.)

This story is pretty bonkers... “The killing occurred in such a netherworld of geopolitical intrigue and counterterrorism spycraft that Mr. al-Masri’s death had been rumored but never confirmed until now. “ nytimes.com/2020/11/13/world…

Israeli agents shot Abu Muhammad al-Masri on the streets of Tehran at the behest of the U.S., officials said, but no one — Iran, Al Qaeda, the U.S. or Israel — has publicly acknowledged the killing.

How to Make a Frozen Margarita (Published 2020)

You’ll need some blanco tequila, lime juice, triple sec, simple syrup, ice and a blender. A summer weekend refreshment is a few easy steps away.

This music has been with me for 60 years. It's seen me through times of stress, loss, joy, and transition. It's connected me to others all over the world and helped me to understand life in new ways. Bach: Prelude to Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major #songsofcomfort

This ‘Imagine’ Cover Is No Heaven (Published 2020)

The actress Gal Gadot assembled celebrities singing John Lennon’s anthem on social media. The result is far from inspiring in a time of crisis.

Random thought/question: has the WHO considered making a pre-set list (a la hurricane names) of new disease names so they can avoid the naming issues they’ve struggled with naming things? New thing crops up, take the next name off the list
