Today is End Dumbass Pseudo – Holidays Day!
“Take Five,” dude. I hope we can all recognize the musical genius of Dave Brubeck, that is duly noted by Barnes.
I just heard the late great Al Jarreau do a scat version of Take Five on public TV over the weekend, then learned he'd been doing this for a long time – here's one from 1976: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhq7fSrXn0c
Today is Dave Brubeck Day
Today is National Star Wars Day. "May the fourth be with you."
It's also National Teacher Appreciation Day, especially now as they juggle zoomers and roomers.
It’s been a rough year for teachers. I’m just glad that I retired before the pandemic hit. In my old district, they went back to full in-person classes right away, masks optional, with 93 deaths in the county and the local nursing home in full outbreak mode,with Cory Gardner stealing all the PPE.
They finally went to remote last November when cases were high enough they couldn’t just pretend it was an urban problem anymore.
Nah
It is Ohio National Guard Deployment to Ashtabula remembrance day.
Rafael is saying the quiet part out-loud again:

The Bezos and Gates divorces will redistribute $400 billion. That's more than the city budgets of NY, LA, DC, Chicago, SF, Houston, Philly, Seattle, Portland, Austin, Phoenix, Dallas, Boston and Detroit combined … then doubled.
Relying on billionaire charity will never be the answer. I do appreciate that while the male parts of those equations dream of blowing their wad on space travel, the wives will have a much different approach towards humanity here on Earth.
Gates Foundation will apparently continue to be guided by BOTH. No indication of a significant split of interests — of course, a foundation that big has plenty of space to support divergent interests.
I feel badly for the Gates family, and hope their parting remains amicable. They have done a hell of a lot of good in this world.
I thought Warren Buffett was leaving a good portion of his fortune to the Gates Foundation.
Not counting the Rebecca Mercer exception.
A sad and strange Colorado story. The cult leader of “Love Has Won” died recently near Crestone, but her followers kept it a secret until authorities were alerted, and retrieved her decomposed body. The mummified body was wrapped in Christmas lights.
The link I posted doesn’t work. Here’s another: https://coloradosun.com/2021/05/04/love-has-won-amy-carlson-murder/
She did not die. She was "out of communication".
She had "ascended." In today's online Denver Post.
