CNN.

I don't think they have his little brother interviewing him every day anymore.

Early on in the pandemic I remember seeing people on CNN and MSNBC discussing how absolutely presidential Cuomo looked in his COVID response.

I've always been extremely confused by this given how bad things were in New York.

I understand having a lot of sympathy for politicians when they're just overwhelmed like New York was. But I don't get the presidential chat or the book deal etc. Especially when other nearby politicians managed to respond much more effectively (if with less regular press conferences in states where lots of media folks live).

I think it was almost entirely due to comparing Cuomo's news conferences to Trump's. Pretty low bar, honestly.

I think it was 100% that.

The country was hungry for leadership.  Hell, I was prepared to give Trump a pass on stuff when it looked like was finally doing something.  I stated that his Coronavirus speech was the best of his career.  Then he tried to back-pedal immediately and undermined his own White House task force, pitted states against one another and would only send resources to Governors who praised him.

If you have no grammar in english class. What do you do in English class?

Get long and tedious reading assignments addressing social issues you, as a young kid, have no context for. Wow this thing by Mark Twain making fun of some aspect of 19th century American society really makes me think.

I remember reading Maya Angelou's "Why the Caged Bird Sings" and I remember liking it but not understanding even slightly the social issues she was addressing in that story.

I mean that's what we did in Middle School and High School, but we did do some grammar in Elementary school. At least that's what I remember for elementary school. Grammar and basic reading comprehension.

Last night I slept on a sprung mattress for the first time in probably eight years, it felt a bit odd.

Has America moved to Summer time or +1 hour today?

Has America moved to Summer time or +1 hour today?

Of course the US has a different date for summertime. I'm sure there's a state that does summertime later or not at all just to be sure no one really knows what's up.
