From pinterest.com:
Rewarding despicable behavior. Headline from nypost.com: “NYC demands Brooklyn landlords pay $160K to relocate squatters who took over their properties.” Help me — how is this right?
Wow, set up metal detectors. Headline from foxnews.com: “Zelenskyy agrees to high-stakes in-person meeting with Putin after Trump weighs in.” How in the world will this go right?
O brave new world blah-blah-blah… From FN: “ChatGPT Convinced Woman To Divorce Her Husband After Determining He Was Cheating With A Younger Woman.” Will private detectives be replaced by AI?

While listening to a 1965 stream on AccuRadio last night, Lou Christie’s Lightning Strikes aired. For those who have never listened to its intelligent lyrics closely, it’s about a guy asking a girl to wait patiently while he sows wild oats. It was co-written by Twyla Herbert, 20 years his senior, who also collaborated with him on The Gypsy Cried, Two Faces Have I and Rhapsody in the Rain. She passed away at 87 in 2009. Christie, born Sacco in Pennsylvania, is 82. Given the changes in the modern world, I’m surprised there hasn’t been a female version of Lightning… A young Madonna would have been perfect. At present I can only think of Lady Gaga, although I’m sure there must be other females out there with the requisite sass. Photos from Google Images:
I figured folks would be preoccupied with the holiday, tapped out, or both, but that wasn’t the case at today’s session of the Anti-Inflation Book Shop. My thanks to those who took home a wide variety of goods. Here’s what sold: a shawl, a pair of slippers; two books in Russian; a CD of the Broadway production of Ain’t Too Proud to Beg and one by the late Cindy McCready; Crime Beat: A Decade of Covering Cops and Killers by Michael Connelly before he turned to fiction; Musical Instruments of the World: An illustrated Encyclopedia by Diagram Group; The Way of My Grandmothers by Beverly Hungry Wolf; This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. The Climate by Naomi Klein; Wired to Create: Unraveling the Mysteries of the Creative Mind by Scott Barry Kaufman PhD and Carolyn Gregoire; The Power of Intention by Dr. Wayne Dyer.
