Good catch on the road trip. Any idea if the White House Effect will be shown at any of the Iowa film festivals? BTW, I bought Murder the Truth. Well-researched but a hard read in grasping the fragility of the press. Safe travels gentleman!

This snapshot is fascinating and heartbreaking. What a crime, to look back on life, and think that you could have changed significantly the trajectory of climate change and you just chose not to invest the effort. I will find a way to see this film. So grateful for the heads up. The Bonni Cohen documentary "Athlete A" is brilliant. Streaming on Netflix. Highly recommend.

Gentleman, I listened to some of the live presentation as I sought refuge in my car during the pelting rain. A poor internet connection limited my listening. However, I did hear the discussion of the Deconstruction period that we are facing. Yes, an apt term for the daily chaos. Nik, I read about the Donut Trap article, looking at the Donutz webpage added five pounds to my body. Lastly, Doug your comments about the rise of suburbia marked by corporate conglomerates hit home. When driving I80, 35 and 380 I often break into singing the Monkey's song, "Pleasant Valley Sunday" as the homes and businesses all look alike, Be well and safe travels.
