Not to brag, but in 1997 my downstairs neighbors played Diddy's "I'll be missing you" on repeat for hours every day, and I asked if I could borrow the cd "since I liked the song so much" and I didn't return it for like a month just so I wouldn't have to hear it anymore.

Tinsel trees again? This is a recession indicator, right? $10 in tinsel for the whole tree instead of $10 per ornament.

Passing out Halloween candy? Consider adding in some food. With SNAP being withheld in October, the extra food can be essential to feeding kids. Mac and cheese cups tend to be a hit.

What do 7 million people look like? It's the equivalent to the population of 8 states combined - Wyoming, Vermont, Alaska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Delaware, Rhode Island, and Montana.

I only own 2 yellow shirts for tomorrow. One has Darth Vader saying "Together we can rule the galaxy" and the other is a Blockbuster T. I figure Darth Vader one is the least appropriate for the situation...

"School shooting victim was popular podcaster" Fixed the headline.It's a school shooting, why glance past it? Oh yeah, because it would just get lost among the other school shooting headlines.

Get ready.

It's a good morning to call your representative. www.house.gov/representati...

You know what I love about SCRUM? I lay out my plans for the day, and then get totally new stuff I need to do ASAP, and just have to repeat my daily plans in SCRUM again tomorrow hoping I can actually get them done uninterrupted. Repeat M-F.

Approximately 11 million people attended the No Kings protests. That's the equivalent of the entire population of 11 states: Wyoming, Vermont, Alaska, North Dakota, South Dakota, Delaware, Rhode Island, Montana, Maine, New Hampshire, and Hawaii. Call your Congress reps: 202- 224-3121

Deploying the National Guard—over the objections of state leaders and local law enforcement—is a dangerous escalation. This isn’t about enforcing law and order, it’s about seizing power and control. Americans won’t tolerate this slide into authoritarianism.

Fear Street: Prom Queen is so ridiculously bad compared to the Fear Street trilogy that came out a few years ago. Just watch the trilogy, this new one is trash.

I've been really good about my 2025 resolution to only buy one piece of clothing per month (only 3 things this year).... but jeez these holiday weekend sales might get me.

And now you know...

Reposting so I can scroll the comments later and look at all the cool designs people are adding.

Dear senators who think you can’t do anything, Today, Senator Van Hollen - through diplomatic pressure - got a meeting with Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. So that thing you’re thinking about doing? DO IT. ~ All of Us

It's really hard to make videos about all of the cool science coming out all of the time. I really appreciate Trump trying to help me out with this problem by making it so no new science comes out ever.

In today’s atmosphere, it’s obvious why a book warning of totalitarian censorship would be in the American Library Association’s list of most commonly challenged books

Single stitch crochet is my favorite. All of the stabbing through yarn, none of the counting.

Hello, this tariff thing has been very insane and I am working on a list of all of the ways that it is insane. It is long and contains things that are both very serious and very silly but in case I'm missing something...suggestions?

Purposely wrecking the economy and expecting people to be happy about it is the definition of out of touch.

This executive order is an unacceptable and unconstitutional intrusion on the rights of states and the power of Congress. Clearly, Trump only supports state's rights when it suits him. More on the lawsuit we filed here: www.azag.gov/press-releas... www.kawc.org/news/2025-04...

I believe we're currently facing a coup in our nation -- but I will never stop fighting for the rights of all Arizonans. youtube.com/shorts/B94WI...

New recession indicator just dropped: Club 33 is now in the Disneyland app, including where to sign up for interest on how to join.

Holding my "old man shakes fist at politicians," copy/paste, because I am so tired of begging my politicians to DO SOMETHING: What are you DOING ABOUT THIS? You are literally one of the few people who can ACTIVELY and DIRECTLY fight this, and we are begging you to fight for us. What are you DOING?

No plan. No strategy. Just higher prices for Arizonans.

Senator Kelly, participating in Senator Booker's historic speech. Please investigate if your Senators participated, loudly supported, publicized, or did other actions to help. Call to thank them if they did, call to demand future support if they didn't. m.youtube.com/watch?v=-COY...

Congrats to Senator Booker for the action many of us have been begging our own senators to do. Thank you for your voice. Literally.

Called my congressperson today, and was completely thrown when a human answered instead of being sent to leave a message. Honestly, my congressperdon is standing up more than my senators are right now - although my senators get more media publicity. 💙

Trump’s comments concerning an unconstitutional 3rd term are a clear distraction tactic from his failed economic policies. Inflation is up & his tariffs are wreaking havoc on businesses and consumers. Instead of planning a fictional reelection campaign, he should do something NOW to lower costs.

Reminder to add "Rex Manning Day" calendar holds on your work calendar. In hindsight, this should have been a noon hold titled "Bring Rex his lunch".

Tips for staying sane (while civically engaged)? 😅

Fun AZ seasonal hobby: Watching the dumb quail families run along the top of the backyard fence at dusk.

8pm: Oh man, I wish I had just a bit more of this particular green yarn to add to this project. Eh, I'll make what I have work I guess.... 8:15pm: (checks mail) oh, wow... forgot I ordered this yarn A MONTH AGO from Joanne's Fabrics. Perfect timing!

NEBRASKA CROWD: “TAX THE RICH! TAX THE RICH!” @USRepMikeFlood: “So your proposal to solve (the debt) is tax the rich?” NEBRASKA CROWD: *CHEERS WILDLY* (not sure this went quite as he planned 😬)
