Re: Iran: Is our nat'l security threatened? Have we a clear attainable objective? Have nonviolent means been exhausted? Is there a plausible exit strategy? Is action supported by American people? Have consequences, costs, risks been frankly analyzed? Do we have int'l support?

@MattHotle @Hot_Pepper76 Now "Year of the Cat" will be going through my head all night.

@Hot_Pepper76 It’s Al Stewart, and I’ll admit to knowing the voice but not particularly liking it.

"Time Passages" (1978), follow up to "Year of the Cat", produced by Alan Parsons. It was written on purpose as a sister song after Clive Davis asked for that vibe. 10 weeks at No. 1 Adult Contemporary, longest of the 1970s. Name the artist? x.com/calmalgodown/s…

Finished Caleb Carr's ALIENIST; finishable at least! 2 of 4 stars. Expostn bogged down in minutiae of NYC bldgs & neighborhoods--sometimes fun & served story, but mostly just Carr sharing research details. Cardboard characters, ending somehow both implausible and conventional.

On George Washington's ACTUAL Feb. 22 birthday, let us remember those stirring Founding Principles, as demonstrated by the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers: "Peace, Power to the People, and F--- Off!"

A tourist spot to add to the must-visit list, "it was not until the publication of Wright’s novel _The Shepherd of the HIlls_ in 1907 that Branson established itself as a true tourist mecca..."

@BentFlyvbjerg @Medium "subjects who had been made to feel in power were more likely to underestimate the time needed to complete a task than those not in power," or in other words "Pride goeth before a fall."

For most organizations, having at least some employees working from home is likely to become the new normal, despite their reasons to avoid this. Jeffrey Mann explains via @AnalystSyndica1 bit.ly/3baV4Da #WorkFromHome #Workplace

International market, legislative and regulatory forces are going to combine to make social media networks take responsibility for the hosting of damaging content. Jim Duggan explores via @AnalystSyndica1 bit.ly/36X3tsz #legislation #regulations #socialmedia

Fantasizing about traveling on vacation or hearing live music again is fine, but business planners should not assume that things will return to the way they once were. Jeffrey Mann explains via @AnalystSyndica1 bit.ly/2OcZe5w #COVID19 #BusinessNews #businesstips

A Hybrid Dynamic-Workforce Productivity (HDWP) model can enable greater flexibility for businesses and achieve better workforce productivity. @schawald explains via @AnalystSyndica1 bit.ly/3bBr5FG #hybridworking #Workforce

By 2025, a sense of liberation and of being born again will repopulate cities and make us forget what happened, as our ancestors did exactly a century ago. Paolo Magrassi predicts via @AnalystSyndica1 bit.ly/38tkIT1 #cities #COVID

... such a bother... when you're writing historical novel 2, and you start hearing voices, characters who pre-date book 1, whispering their stories, like lucid dreams....

@DavidEDaveWall1 @jordan_orzoff @scalzi 4) The false-ringing disruption of Frodo and Sam's friendship when Frodo sends Sam away, a botched and unnecessary attempt to add some tension to the Minas Morgul sequence I suppose.... Those are the Big 4 IMHO....

@DavidEDaveWall1 @jordan_orzoff @scalzi 3) Killing Saruman at Osgiliath, a symptom of a larger problem: elmination of "The Scouring of the Shire," a very important chapter than completes the Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippin arc. Without it Jackson resorted to an ending that's a painfully long series of dewy goodbye shots...
