Temporarily, good news for us California taxpayers--Gruesome Newsom vetoed the bill that would have given that $150K to the immigrants. As long as he is governor, we may be spared that giveaway until Newsom's presidential prospects either die or come to fruition.

Hi,I remember another forgotten`leisure philosopher`,as he called himself,Günther Anders.Born Günther Stern in 1902 in Austria,journalist in Berlin,married to Hannah Arendt,fled to the US in 1936,stayed there 20 odd years,returned to Vienna to notice`Foreign land has not become home,but now home has become foreign.`(Mensch ohne Welt)

Anyway,his take on mass media`,The World as Phantom and Matrix`,1956,is to me the soberest description of tv,here is a 6 page summary(automatic download):

It's the next day where you are. I love your photographs of the beautiful children, especially the one with the child that has a perplexing look on their face. Peace. Good night.
