An article I was reading led me to the Reader’s Digest. I was surprised that it still exists, and that it’s worth visiting.
If you are weary of reading about Trump, Biden, P. Diddy and Pope Leo, the Reader’s Digest is what you need.

MLB reinstates Pete Rose after calls by Trump
Trump should not have been a part of the “looking for a new pope” story, but there is no problem with him having a hand in getting Pete Rose reinstated.
NYT: World Catholics See the First American Pope as Hardly American
NYT: World Catholics See the First American Pope as Hardly American
Catholics around the world were skeptical at first about an American pope.
Who gives a shit, people in America are skeptical of a whole bunch of things, and the NYT doesn’t care much about that.

High-School Juniors With $70,000-a-Year Job Offers
High-School Juniors With $70,000-a-Year Job Offers
If America is going to get back to manufacturing, companies will need to get involved to make sure that there are trained people to hire. There will need to be more of this.
PHILADELPHIA—Elijah Rios won’t graduate from high school until next year, but he already has a job offer—one that pays $68,000 a year.
Rios, 17 years old, is a junior taking welding classes at Father Judge, a Catholic high school in Philadelphia that works closely with companies looking for workers in the skilled trades. Employers are dealing with a shortage of such workers as baby boomers retire. They have increasingly begun courting high-school students like Rios—a hiring strategy they say is likely to become even more crucial in the coming years.
This article explains why a high percentage of power generated by wind and solar could have caused the power outage. In a separate post, I explained that Spaniards don’t worry about what could happen. That would explain the lack of backup power and the total disruption from the outage.
Spaniards are lovely people, but they think differently. It didn’t take much persuasion to get me to jump in the ring. I’m a “when in Rome” kind of guy.
Eagles’ Saquon Barkley hangs out with Trump after teammate dodges question on White House visit
This is an interesting article, but no reports give the whole story. They all say the same thing. The Philadelphia Eagles won the Super Bowl, Barkley is the star running back, he spent time with Trump and his teammate is reluctant to accept an invitation to visit the White House.
I don’t give a shit about football, and wasn’t aware that the Eagles won the Super Bowl. How did a 28 year-old football player land a seat on Marine One with the president?
