I really like these. I especially like listening to his voice. It's very peaceful, calming and reassuring. Something in short supply these days.
I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.

FRONTLINE 2 PART FACEBOOK MUST SEE
The Facebook Dilemma: A Two-Night Special Event
SEASON 37: EPISODE 4
The promise of Facebook was to create a more open and connected world. But from the company’s failure to protect millions of users’ data, to the proliferation of “fake news” and disinformation, mounting crises have raised the question: Is Facebook more harmful than helpful? On Monday, Oct. 29, and Tuesday, Oct. 30, 2018, FRONTLINE presents The Facebook Dilemma. This major, two-night event investigates a series of warnings to Facebook as the company grew from Mark Zuckerberg’s Harvard dorm room to a global empire. With dozens of original interviews and rare footage, The Facebook Dilemma examines the powerful social media platform’s impact on privacy and democracy in the U.S. and around the world.

It's a children's chant, used while jumping rope.
I heard it first when I watched this on PBS's American Experience. You can stream it free here, if I'm not mistaken.

Influenza 1918
Film Description
In September of 1918, soldiers at an army base near Boston suddenly began to die. The cause of death was identified as influenza, but it was unlike any strain ever seen.?As the killer virus spread across the country, hospitals overfilled, death carts roamed the streets and helpless city officials dug mass graves. It was the worst epidemic in American history, killing over 600,000 — until it disappeared as mysteriously as it had begun.

It's not just you, Virginia Heffernan.
I have been sick to my stomach for my country, since election night. Now I am heartsick for Khashoggi, his fiancé and their families.
There are criminals in the White House, I have no doubt. Now we can call them murderous criminals.
Donnie can thank his friends in Saudi Arabia
for showing him how much they love him hating the press to the point of murdering a WaPo journalist.
These people are sociopaths. There are no redeeming qualities among them. To love is to hurt for the sociopath. They live to flirt with and wallow in criminality and disaster. They believe that they are above all laws and laugh in the face of righteous justice.
We should all be terrified.
Thanks for the post, Mrs. Overall.
Love, peace and shelter,
