I thought today was a great day because I discovered that the speech therapy I’ve been doing has given me back my singing (I was able to hit high notes today that I haven’t been able to do in a year, ever since my trachea started collapsing during high notes). But this news just made it a brilliant day!

From:

sabotabby

Oh congrats! On both things.

just gonna post the Rolling Stone obit:
The infamy of Nixon's foreign-policy architect sits, eternally, beside that of history's worst mass murderers. A deeper shame attaches to the country that celebrates him.

Headline and story from a Boston-area news site, Universal Hub:

Former Harvard professor dies at 100

Henry Kissinger, who earned BA, MA and PhD degrees at Harvard then stayed on as professor of government and international affairs before leaving for a job in the Nixon administration, where he helped overthrow a democratically elected government in one country and oversaw B-52 carpet bombing in another, died today.

From:

WOW.

From:

sabotabby

I like the way they slide from the headline to the war crimes.

From:

frandroid

very smooth :)

Anthony Bourdain said it best, and it's not fair that Henry Kissinger outlived him for so long.

My Uber driver yesterday was Cambodian-Australian. I could tell because his phone was lighting up with messages in a mixture of English and Khmer. And he was in a REALLY good mood.

From:

sabotabby

Oh I'm so happy for him!

There's not a big Cambodian population here but I know of one Cambodian restaurant (which is very far from my house, but also some of the best food I have ever eaten in this city) and I was thinking of proposing an outing—except it's winter and they don't have a patio.
