Those Were the Days, My Friend We Thought They’d Never End
Personal anecdote to indicate just how badly Trump & his administration botched the response to Covid 19. I'm a news junkie, I read the Post, the Times, Guardian, I watch the news, probably too much. I was aware of the outbreak of a new virus in China, but erroneously...
Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior in the Digital Age — Chapter One: Social Media Etiquette in Election Years
