Here’s the thing: Cuba has been making concessions. Opening parts of the economy, talking to US businesses, and even shifting policies that had been untouchable for decades. Did it matter? Nope. Washington basically said, “Not enough.” That tells you the goal isn’t reform. It’s full control.

Anyone else think it's highly inappropriate for the defense secretary to say "in the name of Jesus Christ" while he's doing a briefing about the U.S. killing people?

Mm breaking news, oil sanctions being lifted on Iran, because markets are in turmoil lol. But you are still "fighting" them, with a leader awol in another country. Last one who did that, a revolution occurred. Most leaders stay in own country and supposedly lead.

Wow super excited as I was doing a Feb album writing month website challenge, 14 tracks either lyrics unfinished, finished, in 28 days. I have done 18. My lyrics someone else put music to, I added some hammond to his track. Mega blast, love it

Well 6 more tracks, collaborations done this week, my Nord 6 electro keyboard, for the hammond sounds has been getting a workout, along with the Roland xp 10 synth. Still lagging from late night superbowl.

So watching USA politics, etc, and the ice shootings, luckily, unless I'm wrong, there has been no reported shootings I schools, colleges, churches, universities? That is a sort of relief at the moment

So I'm archiving a laserdisc, and here's a fun fact about laserdiscs: Some of them have both analog and digital sound tracks! Obviously I'm archiving both of them, but ran into a weird problem: They're out of sync! I'm demonstrating this in an audio editor, by playing them both at once.

English folk song, English country Garden, became in mid to late 1970's punk explosion, "How many skinheads can you see in an English country gdn. Now it seems for USA "How many 'Barbies' can you find in the Federal State Department" or see even. Times a changing said Bob Dylan

To get to NFL playoffs, be penalty free or low, discipline in rush lanes, contain QB, no PI, or false start, facemask, and stop going for 2 despite analytics, and get calls in faster, don't waste timeouts! How difficult is that to coach

So nfl penalties in Steelers game yes chippy DL, OL is normal but false starts taunting, then stupid lb buffalo lb knocks ball out of wr hand way after whistle. So he is benched fir 1 or 2 games as discipline, another team did just that, & I would chew him out, as might have lost game

Nfl vikings packers game and viking defence pushing gb running back towards the end zone. Seems every defence cannot tackle for a loss or stop but insist on pushing forward. Time for me to coach

NFL teams are still messing up with penalties, late play calling, bad use of timeouts and stupid goal post hugging getting penalty on pat in windy game and lost. Maybe at 65 I should go and coach from the UK. Teams still do not understand basic run pass protect or defense, yet we pay big money.
