Real Estate
$700,000 Homes in Washington, Pennsylvania and Michigan
A 1935 house in Seattle, an 1880 Bucks County retreat and a log cabin on Lake Michigan.These three do not appeal.
It may be my presently depressed condition.

I have been seeing Outland, A detective show from the BBC.

The return of two beloved 2000s reality programs shows how its stars have grown up, but not outgrown where they came from.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CrA0W3SdioA

Where is Googoosha, the Missing Uzbek First Daughter?
Uzbekistan adores its late dictator, Islam Karimov, but is trying hard to forget his daughter, Gulnara, who was once the country’s most famous person.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d3HLFIx8QmU
My impression is of a speed freak who burned herself out.
She is probably dead.
If Uzbekistan issued a death certificate her overseas assets would pass to her son in Britain.

M.L.K.’s Unsanitized Lessons
They have a particular relevance for the Trump era.M.L.K. worked for equality before the law.
He made progress and left much to be done.
The Southern Strategy adds reversal of his
efforts to the grand project of the Republican party.
The gilded age was not a good period.

Setting Options for Ad Blockers
Searching for a balance between too much advertising and just enough to make money, some ad-blocking programs now allow “acceptable” advertisements.It is a fact of digital existance that content providers exist on advertising revenue.
As users of digital content we can keep the producers hungry.
We must not starve the producers on pain of their economic deaths.
We can be selective about which producers get our attention.
