I hope to survive this fuckwittery

To be clear: a tariff is a tax.

Dear Europe (including you UK), Looks like you’re on your own in containing Russian aggression. Ukraine is the test of your fortitude. The US is now in the pocket of the Russian dictator and won’t be helping, sadly.

He nails it.

so far going anti-woke leads to less money and planes falling out of the sky

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general. If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.

How about that appeasement option?

Jaysus this painful to experience

Antisemitism is an assault on ALL people. Kanye claiming to be a Nazi and idolizing Hitler gives permission to others to use violence and is extremely dangerous. It was a generation ago too many lost their lives. We must never tolerate hate. #StopHate

You voted for the Felon? You might be a Facist AND a Racist - in the vein of Foxworthy

CBS says it will turn over an unedited transcript of its October interview with Kamala Harris to the Federal Communications Commission, part of Trump’s ongoing fight with the network over how it handled a story about his opponent. Petty motherfucker. apnews.com/article/trum...

Playing in my head

I’m going to put my rich guy hat on and say I hope that Mexico and Canada issue equal, retaliatory tariffs and stick to them for an extended period. I apologize to all the people it will cost money and the businesses it will hurt. But it’s the only way for tariffs to be seen for what they are

Well said, Pete Buttigieg

Here’s an idea. If you’ve never served, how about you don’t have an opinion about who can and can’t?

I love that a white guy was flying the plane, a white guy was flying the helicopter, and a white guy gutted the FAA last week but somehow the blame is too much diversity.

DEI is all about the worthy objective of achieving equality and equity for those who’ve been historically not considered. I value my employers DEI program as it makes us stronger and more competitive. Bonus: diversity is beautiful.

Oh, man, I grew up in the 70s and 80s when so much advertising money was thrown into the idea that margarine was just as good as butter, and then I stayed the night at my friend Rick's house and they had pancakes with real butter and I was SO ANGRY I had been lied to by the oelo-industrial complex

Stomach in knots for four years. Sigh.

Attn: Target we are done!!! Black folks, do not spend a dime here. Do not spend money where you will not be hired—or where they will not carry your products. Target is spitting in your face!

“Eat a Peach: A Memoir” by David Chang just finished. Recommended and grab a meal at one of his establishments while you’re at it to get a sense of his vision. I like the steamed bun with pork belly I had at Momofuku (Lucky Peach) in Las Vegas. Watch “Ugly Delicious” - a real treat.

Loved it

🧵: I got real with Facebook friends/family last night. I'd been doing politics "lite" there because I didn't want to alienate people I love who think differently than me. I've decided if you love someone, you need to tell them the truth. It's up to them how they handle it. It started with this:

Type 1 diabetics who voted for the felon? Welcome to karma.

Radiant heating adventures: The loop in the living room wasn’t activating (stone cold floor).The kitchen/dining room loop was toasty on the toes. The heating folks are out and asked where the valves were. Mad hunt ensued. Found ‘em behind a panel in the pantry. NM problems.

Gut punched today. Reading MLK Jr quotes to develop the will to care.

We had a major 3 day snowstorm in early November. This is what is left in late January before the next storm

Stand Guard. Shit.

Thinking about ditching the book of faces and returning to old school bulletin boards, Reddit and this. Sad because of the connections I’ll lose which is its main utility.
