    Thought this was an interesting podcast from NPR: Throughline: Student Loans: The Fund-Eating Dragon (from 2022) My (overly simplistic) takeaway: LBJ wanted to fund higher education for families with limited funds (like his own), but needed banks to be involved, and they absolutely wanted their percentage/interest rates. Once Universities saw that there was more funding available, costs began to rise and funding sources filled the gap via loans that had even higher interest rates.

    The Supremes

    NWBuck replied to tx 3 putt's topic in Cloak Room

    I'm just hanging out here on the ledge wondering how change is possible. Take realignment of the Court (say, to 13 justices, like the circuits)... That would require majorities across Congress beyond the filibuster. Those aren't possible given the gerrymandering that is happening at the state level (and that the Court is hit or miss on addressing). But even if congress could pull this off, it just takes one person to file a case which ends up at the current SCOTUS, and why would the current majority (led by Chief 'businesses are people' Justice) ever allow the expansion to stand (and minimize their earning power)? So... Yeah

    Watching the new season of "The Bear", and Episode 6. "Fishes" reminded me of these threads AND every third family event/holiday dinner I experienced as a kid, in the part of Indiana that most geographers refer to as the "necrotic asscrack of America". Although, that episode had more "shouting and fork throwing" type drama, and less heartfelt moments such as: uncle pouting because he couldn't watch a re-run of a very special 'Dukes of Hazard' episode bipolar cousin leaving her husband at the house while she left with the guy from the bowling alley she was banging racist aunt proclaiming that "no n*gger could ever play quarterback", only to be told by her brother (my uncle from Dickinson) "Judy, Warren Moon is black" (which led to a robust discussion of whether Mr. Moon was "BLACK, black"). In all, I'd rather have had the flying cutlery...

    I'm sure it ties the room together

    Supposed to be her, but the next bit of dialogue includes a comment about "sometimes they use stunt doubles" for nude scenes... Given WA, I'm guessing that's a tell.

    Totally agree about Soul... loved that film. It didn't do well in theatres because it didn't play there (I believe).

    Might be time for a touch up... She's getting a little stubbly, FWIW.

    As part of my ongoing 'mindfulness' exercises, I've been trying to take 'in the moment' photos with my phone. Thought these recent ones turned out pretty well:

    Yeah, but I feel that way most of the time...

    That, and backlash from the loudest on the right means we have to turn the volume up at the cookout.

    Gotta wonder how much of that was Fox/Murdoch's payback for the paycheck they have to write to Dominion

    And that particular paper totally ruled.

    And then molt, turn into a pupa, and head to a closet full of wool sweaters.
