Quick take: Oh yeah, confirmation hearings

 There is precisely nothing good about Russia's invasion of Ukraine.  Actually, there is precisely nothing good about Russia.  My family fled from that "shithole country" long ago, and despite each sequential political change, they remain the worst.  But hey, as long as we are paying attention to the latest villainy to come from the land of vodka and totalitarianism (kids, don't experiment with blackout drinking or blackout totalitarianism), we don't have to pay attention to the absurdist political theater of this week in domestic politics, by which of course I mean a Supreme Court confirmation hearing.  These things are useless, meaningless and irrelevant.  Ketanji Brown Jackson will be confirmed.  Nothing that happens will matter.  Senators will give speeches and mug for the camera.  Jackson will give canned answers.  Blah-blah.  Ignore it.  Make yourself a nice cup of relaxing tea, turn off the news, curl up with a relaxing book, maybe some groovy jazz, like Miles, and ignore this shit.  Yoga, tai chi, meditation, whatever's your thing.  I have to pay attention to it.  You don't.
