American Dissent

American Dissent is about the Ideals America stands for. "Truth, Justice and The American Way" as Superman would put it. It will also be about other random things that come up and how they relate. It will also include the occasional "puff piece" like movie reviews or good meals because those too are part of America.

Time Killers

Since I've got a lot of it, and not much I can do that doesn't put me on the ground in pain, things that occupy time are of some import.

Music is a nice one, there's so much, and so much out there that's fantastic, that it's hard to pick individual things. That said, the Grateful Dead music archive is one of those things that's great. Why?
Because a) the Dead was primarily a touring group. They'd go out for a couple months, take one off, rinse repeat. The number of shows they did is enormous.
Because b) the Dead allowed a "taping section" where people would come in and record the show. They LET people do this!
Because c) all that stuff has been getting digitized, and the band is still saying, yeah, trade the stuff, cool.
It is here. https://archive.org/details/GratefulDead

What else can I do without going very far. I'm playing Magic online. The company has finally built a stable expandable platform, so now I can play, even if I can't shuffle cards well anymore. That one can be, but probably wouldn't be, free. It's an addictive card game and has made Hasbro into the absolute kings of the games world. That one can be found here.  https://magic.wizards.com/en/mtgarena

It's been a long week.
