1. It is Wednesday at 9am and there are no leading questions about last year's news or today's meaningless national day of designation.

2. David Sirota gets to opine some more about Don't Look Up in an interview for VOX.

   You can take the two main characters, Leo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence, and make them the voices in your own head. Leo is saying, “Listen, things are bad, but I can make this system work to solve the problem.” And then you have Jennifer Lawrence who’s like, “Things are really bad, and I’m going to try my best to make the system work, but the minute it fails, it’s just going to demoralize me. And it’s going to prove to me that it’s all hopeless.”

   And those are the two voices that any rational person looking at this world probably hears in their own mind.

   Probably just sour grapes because the Board decided at the last minute NOT to dox all the teachers who had called in sick to protest the firing of Superintendant Wise.
