The whole world is laughing at us.

Anyone still subscribing to @washingtonpost.com is making a contribution to Trump/Musk. This is no longer a newspaper, it's a mouthpiece for rapacious billionaires. www.thedailybeast.com/ex-wapo-edit...

We are looking at the quick and easy exit. UK for 6 mos while sunnier destinations, then apply for visas. Here's the thing. We're considering Hampstead. Will this mark me as a posh twat? Bear in mind that I am in no way a party creature, but do like cake. Walking to pastry: the dream.

Due respect to Mr. King, I don't think it's love, I think it's obedience. MICE is the spy acronym re: recruiting agents. Money, Ideology, Compromise, Ego. Trump is all about Money and Ego, but is he also compromised? What does Putin have on him?

Oh, I like this woman a lot. The one and only unifying, cross-party, cross-race and gender and religion issue, is that we all are sick to death of billionaire aszholes.

2 political suggestions: 1) we swipe a page from the UK and create a version of a shadow cabinet, based on ranked choice vote by party members. Media will cover the vote and the controversy and have a go-to for expert commentary. It'll drive MAGAs crazy. #Maddow #DNC #Buttigieg #ChrisMurphy #CNN

This is a dark day. The rapist Trump is a shit stain smeared across American history, a collapse of the American people, the degradation of our nation. Shame on every person who voted for him. You will never be redeemed, you will never be forgiven.

First read of 2025! FRONT LINES is the first book in @michaelgrantbks.bsky.social alternate history YA trilogy. It released in 2016 & from the first time I read it, I was fully immersed and totally invested in these soldier girls. It's my 3rd or 4th reread of the trilogy. Do you like to reread?

For anti-vaxxers, a reminder: this is what polio looks like. Those are iron lungs. There is zero evidence of a link between vax and autism.

Two of my favorite things. #taylorswift #animorphs

"We cannot continue to participate in the social network feed of a man who proclaims the death of the media and therefore of journalists... X is a platform that no longer serves the public interest at all, but the special ideological and financial interests of its owner and his political allies"

I hope to see a useful discussion of the future of #Democrats. I have no use for the circular firing squad seeking to place blame. Who are we, what do we need to do, and with what long-term goal in mind?

Learning abt Pearl Harbor and the battle of Hastings. (Book I'm thinking of.) Adm Husband Kimmel was the scapegoat on the American side. An injustice. I asked Google AI whether Adm Kimmel was related to @jimmykimmel.bsky.social. AI said yes. I asked again, slightly altered wording and got: no

Been ready for years to leave the country. I was raised part of my life 8-10 yrs in France, love Europe. Going #expat is complicated in terms of pets, kids, taxes and above all, visas. Logic suggests Spain or Portugal. But France. . .💘 Class pic Ecole Zola, Rochefort. Middle row, 3rd from left.

We took the Queen Mary 2 to Britain a couple weeks ago. Had to get tux and gowns - very much not our usual which is sweat pants. For the record I'm just two years older.

Boss (named for one of K's characters) and Astrid (named for one of mine.) Both F. Identical twins as can easily be seen.

Grabbing a space here, not sure how much I'll use it.
