I admit that I have no specific evidence for my suspicion—just an awareness that Bondi (like the rest of that crew) is a liar who will exploit anything for her own gain and for the advantage of the regime. Should Savannah Guthrie herself have anything to say about their relationship, that would be different.

Note: in my previous comment I wrote “Nancy” in error, I meant Savannah.

Ooh nice. Yesterday I listened to “Nina Simone Sings the Blues”. Here’s Backlash Blues from that album, which she co-wrote with Langston Hughes.

Bondi said that she’s “known” Nancy Guthrie for 30 years and that the case “breaks her heart”—but I suspect that Bondi is implying the relationship is more than it is (maybe something way less than friendship) in order to get her name into reportage about the case. Kind of like Trump has been doing with this case, and with everything else.

My reason for suspecting this is just that it’s the kind of thing they do.

It’s nice for NYC students & teachers that today had been declared a real snow day, no remote learning shit.

And Mayor Mamdani said a cute thing:

“To kids across New York City, you have a very serious mission if you choose to accept it: Stay cozy.”

Awww.

In the afternoon I went to the corner grocery store to do some light panic-buying and was surprised at the lack of a mob scene. Even the sale-priced eggs were in stock! But since almost everyone here walks a short distance for grocery shopping, and since the stores will almost certainly remain open and well-stocked, there’s not much reason to panic.

I preemptively salted the sidewalk outside before the snow started to stick (which prevents snow from adhering and makes it easier to shovel), and will go outside to shovel what’s accumulated in a little while, so there will be less to shovel tomorrow.

I love the snow, but I hope it melts quickly because it makes biking pretty treacherous. After the last snowstorm, piles of snow got plowed from the streets into the bike lanes which is not cool.

I look forward to going for a walk tomorrow morning—non-emergency vehicles are banned until 12pm Monday, so all will be calm and bright.

Today I’ve been listening to Schubert’s Winterreise, as I customarily do when it snows. It’s the most wintry music I know.

I found this one abnormally easy.
