Short Takes

Headline from nypost.com: “Zuckerberg admits Biden admin pressured Facebook to censor COVID content, says it was wrong to suppress The Post’s Hunter laptop coverage.” Okay, just stay out of this election. Is that asking too much?… I see a Harris ad, including one by Obama, each night on youtube, asking for money. I have yet to see one for DT. Is he banned or simply not using the platform?

More good news on the PC front, from NYP: “Lowe’s becomes latest company to end DEI policies amid growing backlash.” May it continue, accelerate… Even more GN: “Texas Scrubs 1.1M Ineligible People From Voter Rolls.” Let it be so in the so-called battleground states.

They’re back. Headline from foxnews.com concerning Cornell: “Anti-Israel agitators vandalize elite university on first day of classes after tumultuous year.” Photo from Google Images:

Less humidity today, so it didn’t feel very hot. My thanks to the woman who donated a score of books, half of them keepers. I planned to leave the rest in the lobby, but for some asinine reason management is now prohibiting leaving free stuff there. My thanks also to the young mom who took home four kids’ books in the Nick Zone series; and to Herbie, who bought Oakdale Confidential, based on the As the World Turns soap, by anonymous; and to The Quiet Man, who selected the North and South miniseries on DVD; and to young Gareth who purchased pictorials on Architecture and those nasty medieval heretics The Cathars, and 12 Bad Habits That Hold Good People Back: Overcoming the Behavior Patterns That Keep You From Getting Ahead by James Waldroop Ph.D. and Timothy Butler Ph.D., and The Power of Positive Thinking by Dr. Norman Vincent Peale.
