The first ten on today’s playlist:

DeSantis’s hired goons complete takeover of once legitimate university.

That’s too bad. A friend of mine from high school went to New College. I wrote her college application essay for her that helped get her in. In return, she made me dinner for a week — which was very appreciated at the time considering I mostly ate terrible food then and she was a great cook.

She was the one who introduced me to Jane’s Addiction and other bands at the time, too. The last I heard she was a museum director somewhere.

One of the wisest decisions of my life is to never use Facebook. When you can see the obvious, you look smarter than you in fact are.
