New York Times and MSNBC resignations
Haven't really seen anything about this on the board so I figured I'd start a thread. Here are their resignation letters. Basically scathing condemnations of the how things are run at each.

Share with us some music that brings the world together.
Share some music with us here that crosses over cultural lines, that creates a bridge between cultures, especially otherwise disparate cultures. We are, after all, one race with many facets. I'll start with a favorite, David Byrne and Brian Eno's spine tingling "Regiment": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZVge1AAPjk

Things that give you hope.
Earlier today, I started thinking about some things that give me reason to feel hopeful. I thought about starting this thread earlier but held back because every time I tried to word it, everything I could think of sounded corny, too touchy-feely, overly sentimental, etc. But what the heck. It's kind of like "What's so…

A new era of censoriousness?
An interesting article here that talks about recent censorious leaning in the worlds of publication and speech. The quote that stands out here is: "...the letter goes on to decry what it calls “a new set of moral attitudes and political commitments that tend to weaken our norms of open debate and toleration of differences…

Anyone here familiar with Artists Against Racism?
We've talked a lot lately about racism as it pertains to black Americans- and rightly so, considering recent events. And as much as the Black Lives Matter movement is important and prominent, it's worth remembering that racism crosses many paths.

Coma Telephone..."Is a collective mind a possible solution?" This is as accurate for need of purpose
In 1987 my brother ken was injured in a hiking accident. When he got to the Hospital I never felt so confident he was alright. I was wrong about that though. I couldn't see His eyes Cause they were shut too tight. Ken was in a coma, I was shocked with jaw drop and two big old buggy pop out eyes. Two days later, as my…

TRUMP: Holier Than Thou....
I'm not a social media magnet on ANY social site. I do recall some years ago being on My Space and by the time I got the thing set up MS was dead. I can't even remember what the hell was the purpose of the thing. Now we have Bookface or something to that effect, I haven't been on there in well over a year now. Today we…

Here’s to the State of Mississippi
So do you think Ed regrets calling out John Roberts now from the 2004 tour? He’s literally “saved” numerous Supreme Court decisions. 2 this week. Not trying to be political but he called him out and Roberts hasn’t done anything to show he deserved it except for being appointed by Bush. That’s a good Judge, votes for the…

A change in the law this year made it possible for police to search in their DNA-bank for possible family members of suspects. Last week, a 58-year-old man was arrested, suspected of a brutal rape of an 8-year-old girl in Billdal, south of Gothenburg, in 1995. The arrest happened after police used DNA from the 24-year-old…

Echo Chamber
You folks should really get out in the open and look at data and facts in a non-biased, non- agenda fashion. When all you read, say and hear is what you already believe, you’ve probably done yourself a disservice.

The CHAZ Movement
I hesitate to do this because I have no interest in starting a war of sorts here, but the other thread title on this topic is misleading so I'm starting a CHAZ thread where, hopefully, we can engage in adult-like, useful, and interesting conversation on this fascinating social experiment. Here a recent development in which…
