Bill Gates: Schadenfreude by Gossip
Submitted by wendy davis on Thu, 05/27/2021 - 1:00pm
I’ve been guilty of the sin of ♥ing Schadenfreude for a long time, but these smears by innuendo (in many cases) tickle my innards purple. I’d been trying a 2 Photos Caption Contest for fun to deflect a bit from the current troubling zeitgeist.
‘Melinda Gates ‘warned’ husband Bill about meeting sex predator Jeffrey Epstein, divorce reportedly ‘not friendly’ – reports’, 7 May, 2021
“It’s not clear why Gates’ meeting with Epstein in 2013 was so objectionable when their earlier gatherings had apparently gone down without any drama, though it’s doubtful that Melinda would have wanted to make a scene in a room with her husband and several business prospects. Gates and Epstein have a history dating back into the 1990s, according to an Evening Standard article from January 2001 that – while focusing on Prince Andrew’s own relationship with Epstein – also mentioned the financier as someone to whom he had entrusted “many millions”.

Musical Chairs
Changing tastes and technology
I'm in Florida this weekend with my folk festival buddies here on the banks of the Suwannee River. The festival isn't being held this year due to COVID, but we're all vaccinated and decided to just have our own minifest. In addition to playing music, we'll canoe, swim, hike, and bike around.
We all travel a musical journey as we age and are exposed to different genre. I like almost all music, and can appreciate most of it. So today I thought it might be fun to look at my journey and perhaps you might share your music foray into your favorite pieces.
I really like these “playing for change” compilations.
"Green" capitalism, China, and our deluded Congress
