6.335 catch up

Tuesday 11/04/2025

I needed to finish up at FOPAL and my only free time was this morning. So at 7:30 I headed out for that. Got all the computer donations processed and the shelves are nice and tidy for the sale. Back by 10:30. Then tidied up for the cleaning lady, and started my laundry. Had lunch while the laundry was running. Got all foldd nd put away by 1:25, just in time to join the new Line Dance class at 1:30. This teacher is quite different from our prior one but nice enough and didn’t give us anything too complicated.

Time for a short nap before I went to the 11th floor to set up the zoom for the “Reimagining Democracy” webinar from Stanford. About 6 people showed up to watch. I don’t have to this for the next Tuesday, the final in the series. It is going to feature Condoleeza Rice and a different group are going to set it up in the auditorium, figuring to get a bigger audience. (I won’t be part of it; I regard Condy as a war criminal in the same bucket as Henry Kissinger.)

This episode was very insular to Stanford, it was all about what faculty and students are doing to improve political dialog at Stanford which sounded all very nice, but having very little relevance to the world outside the Stanford bubble. Grump.
