@ericlars2.bsky.social, you settled in for MNF?

The moths gather at my office window. Somehow, I sense them laughing.

I just received a copy of an online newsletter with the following headline: "Give Chuck a Break" One might presume it refers to embattled Democratic Senate leader Chuck Schumer. However, I think it should apply to all Chucks, starting with this one. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

#Wordle 1,604 5/6 ⬜⬜⬜⬜🟩 ⬜🟩⬜⬜🟩 ⬜🟩⬜🟨🟩 🟨🟩⬜⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Possibly an apt, if too-generous, description of the American state of mind.

Nothing in this article shocks me. Intuitively and anecdotally, we already knew this. And still, holy shit! What have we become?

#Wordle 1,603 3/6 🟨⬜🟨⬜🟩 ⬜🟨🟨🟩🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 Which Trump-fueled problem will next?

Do we still absolutely have to acquire Greenland? Are we still preparing for war with Panama over the canal? Canada, 51st state? So many things seemed so critical, and then ... poof.

The sky doing November things.

When it's 6:45, has been dark for hours and you come back from pushing your @$$ through a workout to see ... this.

Tonight's going to be a good, good night.

Early evening in our fave place.

Stop saying gaslighting. Gaslighting is subtle & insidious: small changes repeated over time but deemed normal until others question their perception of reality. Trump's absurd constructions of entirely false narratives & landscapes are much different and, in their mass acceptance, much scarier.

Maybe it's time we move past feeling aggrieved by his myriad microaggressions and start calling out the macro dangers of allowing such a demented man to hold the fate of humanity in the palm of his hand.

#Wordle 1,594 3/6 ⬜🟨🟨🟨🟩 🟨🟩⬜🟨🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 This one practically spun right out.

Apparently we he had a weird North Carolina fetish even twenty years ago, @docsavage88.bsky.social & @mistybrown.bsky.social. 😆

Chapel Hill at dusk.

Two miles removed from the bustle and Belichickian hustle of downtown Chapel Hill.

@docsavage88.bsky.social, every day here, a new example of the overkill regarding Belichick's UNC fall. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/10/21/l...
