Dear Rook et al,

Thanks for all your hard work keeping us updated and charmed with your witty repartee. I’m assuming the “T” stands for tough and tenacious. I’ve been reading you long enough to know you are both. Keep being your outspoken outstanding selves.

Thanks for the encouragement!

You guys remind me of my young spirited self. That soul comes out now and then...well now a whole lot more because of Fascism installment. I like your spice. Keep it coming!

By the way, can Rook do me a favor? Look into how Google pretended to be awesome and provide Chromebooks to schools, free Google Drive space for teachers to store their lessons and now how it plans to monetize from that turning that info into AI that will soon replace teachers for kids in poor areas or those with disabilities once Project 666 (2025) step of completely demolishing Dept of Ed is complete and the voucher system is approved to help the taxpayer money help the rich with their kids' private school vouchers? Will you investigate this up close and report it?
