I was in a conference for most of the day and didn't realize that the world had exploded in MPLS.

I’ve head that many activist causes actually need an enemy in order to keep collecting money “for the cause” or keep their position in the mediaverse. When will we stop talking and start retaliating? Or defending, if you like that term better.

I’m not sue if the left’s restraint is part of a bigger plan or just plain capitulation.

Are fancy analog watches still popular?

Chuckling at the people in the U.S. who consistently shit on people who live in "red" states... Well according to others in the world, the entire US is now a "red" state. Not so easy to overthrow authoritarians, is it?

Bought this stuff that chews like taffy and supposed to help aches and pains (40 mg). Tastes a little like strawberry. I hope that with some Canadian whiskey will cure what ails me. I’ll let you know when the 2nd quarter starts. I think with the weather like it is, I’ll take the Patriots.

Watching a little football. I hope I can stay up long enough.

Texans vs Patriots innNew England with the snow falling and 36°.

Weather app says “wet snow” with possible accumulation of 2”. I looked out my window and the “wet snow” looks an awful lot like rain.

Caturday

He could put 100% tariffs on Europe. All he would be doing is causing higher inflation in the US

Everything Trump Touches Dies

We need a little more Minnie Mouse

Beat me, whip me, make me write bad checks.

Looking around a room full of people who are more or less my age. I’m thinking to myself,”Do I really look this old ?” Obviously, I do.

At the check in area of Southwest. $123 for the 3rd bag. Checking it at the boarding area/gate = free. I could have checked all three bags at the gate, I guess, and paid nothing for my luggage. Crazy system. Airlines: just encourage checked luggage for free.

Pete Buttigieg is absolutely correct. We must hold Noem accountable for what happens in her department.

Andor's Nemik eulogizes Renee Nicole Good. I lifted work from excellent photojournalists to make this video, but it felt really urgent to get the message out and it will take me quite some time to do a credited version. Apologies. (This a repost with a more cogent description and alt-text.)

I have car that works, a house that’s in decent shape, money in the bank. I shouldn’t be concerned. Everything is ok for me. Everybody for themselves. Ayn Rand would be proud.

All I want to do when I see the state of the world and how much we have deteriorated all I want to do is cry and cry and cry.

I used to have a sense of humor.

Outside a lot of bloviating and toothless rhetoric the “opposition” does nothing except walk on the streets and chant. I don’t know what to suggest other than an outright revolution. Something that will ever happen in this age of specialized weapons and cult followers.

Everyday Trump comes up with something new to assert his power and expansionist ambitions. He has and is completely ignoring both US and International Law. He has gone totally rogue with no intention of being reigned in by anyone. It is surprising that no one has dared to try and stop him. 1/2

I was scrolling through Facebook, and I couldn't help but wonder where most of these people find time to work, I guess they're all independently wealthy.

The challenge today vs WWII is that the US has nuclear weapons and Trump would probably use them.

In previous World Wars it was the US that had to be persuaded to enter the wars. The US was not first in. Now, it’s the other way around. Other countries must decide to unite to stop the US.

Will anyone or any country be able to stop Trump’s expansionist (world domination) ambitious?

Trump does what he wants. His lackeys obey. The world goes on with lots of hand wringing and pearl clutching. I can only wonder if NATO will come to the aid of Denmark if the US does,indeed, attack Greenland. It will they shy away from beginning a full scale war (appeasement).

What does the orange football logo with VMH on the Bears jerseys mean?

Is there anyone else experiencing freezing problems on @blueskyfanatic.bsky.social my videos keep freezing especially when I enlarge them. I have to close @blueskyfanatic.bsky.social , remove it from the background and restart it. #painintheass

Meanwhile, life goes on. Football is being played

Did anyone get, “We’re gonna run Venezuela until we can get the oil barons positioned and the let them run it.” Obviously, Trump is in an expansionist mood. He’ll keep going until someone or some country stops him. Any ideas?

The worst part of the political climate is the spread of grift everywhere. It makes trust impossible. Does soap *really* get you clean or does it cause skin cancer which can only be cured by the drug that cures 8 different cancers? Why do so many drugs have “suicidal thoughts” as a side effect.

A lot of the “content” on social n dis is good and/or interesting. The ads are all grift.

Internet ad (Instagram, I think): GLP1 is BS. Among other claims about other medical type issues. Hey, she was wearing a white coat so she must be right.

Ken’s Rule: never go for the 2 points. Better to try to win in OT. Sorry Bills. Bad call followed by bad execution.

The best thing about Sunday is that I sit, brain dead, in front of the TV from 1:00 to about midnight watching football.

Warm and rainy tomorrow. Warm and sunny are a thing of the past, too, I guess.

Between you and me, I hate the Liberty Mutual commercials. All of them. Growing tired of the Progressive commercials, too.

The Bills are going to lose against the Eagles. Too bad. I would have liked to see the Bills win. Oh well.

I got these very expensive “whiskey sipping” glasses. So, I’ve been trying to learn how to sop whiskey neatly. It’s definitely an acquired skill.
