Chicken Little

I've just watched a short program about the James Webb telescope (JWST). It made me interested in the images coming back and I have to say they're rather impressive.

I've just finished this book, could not put it down. As a former American, I'd always been enamoured of the Kennedys, this makes me wonder whether being a good statesman is unrelated to and independent of being a good man. www.goodreads.com/book/show/20...

Why can't the US have presidents like this anymore. youtu.be/WZyRbnpGyzQ?...

I am watching 'an officer and a gentleman' this evening. not because it's a good romance (it is) and not because I'm particularly patriotic but because it's a good story about triumph over adversity and how people aren't always who we thought they were and because it's a fab film.

This is maybe a bit outdated but I thought of it today for some reason... youtu.be/rw2nkoGLhrE?...

I am saddened by what is happening in the USA. I never would have thought in a million years I'd see this. When I had to renounce my citizenship back in 2017 (requirement of Dutch naturalisation), I was even a little bit emotional about it. I'm not anymore but I weep for my former countrymen.

I've been reading a book recently(not that this is out of the ordinary or anything.) It's written by Michael Lewis, who I appreciate. It gives me hope that the US still has people in public service. This is why doom isn't necessarily the American future. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/788713...
