An edition up on Sunday.  And on Sunday morning!!! How the hell did we manage that.  Hold on, I'll tell you

And what did we come up with? 

Desi Cortez gets the truest.

 Repost from THE COMMON ILLS for Gaza coverage -- and to note Kat's two reviews and Isaiah's 2 comics since we don't have a "Highlights" this edition.  Why's that?  Here's where I (Jim) get to it.

 And this is why the edition went up this morning.  Ava and C.I. did the book discussion with Kat first.  Then they looked at the other ideas and said, fine, they're going off to write the media piece and when they were done it was going up regardless of whether there was any other content to go with it.  What were they writing about?  On the Fourth, they discussed THE BOYS, the Jessica Alba NETFLIX movie and something I forget.  They were not doing politics.  They were doing something easy and light.  On Friday, they watched Joe's ABC interview.  They said nothing to us about but excused themselves from the room. Jess thought they were discussing whether or not to write about the interview.  I thought they just didn't want to hear anything more on the topic.  This morning, after they wrote this and I read over it, I asked them why they didn't mention it?  It's a great piece but why hide it like they did.  C.I. noted that she posted Saturday night at THE COMMON ILLS and that she didn't mention Joe.  They were holding it for this edition.  And that's why stuff had to go up Sunday morning. 

 

Elaine had the idea for this one.  Dona loved it because it was a "short piece."

Kat talks to Ava and C.I. about the book she read.

Our new feature that we started a few weeks back.

Mike came up with the idea for this.

Deaths noted in the community.

Book reviews in the community. 

Paul Rudnick gets the tweet of the week.

What we listened to while working on this edition.


Peace.
