Knowing very little about Rob Reiner and his wife, I imagine if their deaths brought about an unhinged and disrespectful tweet from our fearless leader, they lived a good life.

I love people who put antlers and Rudolph noses in their cars. I feel like I say this every year, but those people are special.

Watching Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince when Draco watches the deatheaters enter Hogwarts and cries hits different today.

The way we should all be screaming with rage about the government shut down cannot be understated. The tax $ that we are so worried about feeding children with are the same tax dollars that are also used to pay these buffoons who cannot get it together at the expense of people’s livelihoods.

Staten Island: are you ok?

Even Dick Cheney hated all of this.

Cuomo getting 41% was still too much considering his history. Our tolerance for the abuse of others never ceases to shock me.

The leopard is biting everyone’s faces now.

Mosquitos have touched down in Iceland.

With regards to my earlier post, this is what I mean. We as New Yorkers are only going to allow our own craziness, we will not allow this mess.

If you voted for our current mess because you were worried about grocery prices, are you at all concerned about your tax dollars knocking down the White House, kidnapping people off the streets, funding foreign atrocities, or potentially paying a felon’s legal fees?

To the mentally and anatomically small humans who are ICE: I would say running up on NYC is not a smart move

I think this is worth a read. Bret Stephens, who I typically read through gritted teeth, and Frank Bruni discuss our moment. Multiple perspectives and open listening is our only way out. America Darkens www.nytimes.com/2025/09/18/o...

It’s almost like destroying public education over the past 45 years and ending up with 60% of the population literate at a 6th grade level with low critical thinking skills was the plan.

I think it's time to admit that our entire planet is at active war with fascism. And that the war is existential, not just for minorities, for everyone.

Turns out I know a lot of really awful people if Facebook is any indication. Instagram too.

Today I feel a heaviness that is not related to 9/11. Today feels like a turning pt, though I have felt it since the political assassination of Melissa Hortman & her husband. Despite teetering on the loss of civility for so long, we have finally fallen. The discourse on the internet is unbearable.

I would love it if it would become earth shatteringly embarrassing to have somebody find out that you’re a pedophile, rapist, or racist. Like world ending.

When did it become all or nothing? You can be a Republican (believing in the central principles of small gov, low taxes, etc.) and not want to destroy the world and human rights. Where are the normal Republicans? I was raised by some great ones who have since abandoned political affiliation.

A Trump themed bus (yes) parked in the center of my town. Taking up spots, being an eyesore, daring confrontation. I love political freedom and can respect republican views on governance, though con camps, pedophilia, idolatry, and hate are not part of this equation. Get out.

Driving over a major bridge in the northeast U.S. and saw a few white men with a large banner. I was scared as to what I was about to read bc of the amount of flags, but the banner read “remove the pedo in chief”. I’m here for this type of bait and switch and I’m sorry for stereotyping (not really).

On vaca, went to a crystal gift shop, owner was telling ppl about the lion’s gate portal and 5 retrogrades making dogs act nuts and bringing desires. 5 retrogrades sounds like too many, but I want to believe my life is dictated by planets being silly.

Not to be dramatic, but I’ll never take for granted being able to breathe through my nose again. Summer colds are gross and I feel like sinuses and the whole ENT system is a design flaw.

“In a less depraved time….”

Can someone explain to me how it is status quo for senators and reps to vote with their own interests (financial and otherwise) rather than with the will of their constituencies? I wish people would spare us the bogus interest in protecting our constitution when they clearly have never read it.

What state have we got to as a country when saving human life has to be justified?

A different way of practicing politics is possible - where we vigorously fight for what’s right while inviting people into our coalition, rather than pushing them away.

I feel like 37% is still too high - particularly as pedophilia is (allegedly) involved, and rape/SA is actually involved.

Can someone please tell me what we can do besides calling our idiot senators and yelling? Besides posting into the abyss? Besides tuning out of the news because our psyches can’t take it? #action #change #america

I just found out that my husband has still not forgiven Bono for the forced download of U2’s album on iTunes 15 years ago.

I’m not a huge fan of South Park (don’t judge me, I’m a bad millennial) but you can always count on Trey and Matt to do something fabulous.

People can have differing politics. You can oppose immigration, have views on limited taxes, be tough on crime, support an Israeli state - you can believe all of these things, but you also MUST have empathy and realize that your political views are not an excuse for intolerable cruelty.

Just watched part of Medhi Hassan’s jubilee video- my feelings are hurt from the amount of stupidity, cruelty, and moral lacking.

Is just shutting down for the summer an option?

The media has desensitized us.

Bartended the Dave Matthews concert in Richmond last night. My friend Kate had really good tickets and snagged this pic. Quite a statement to his sold out elder millennial (myself included) crowd.

PBS Passport is $5/month and is commercial-free except for the one commercial they show before the program.

Congrats to Stephen Colbert for never bending the knee.

I used to worry about people being stupid and causing our demise. Now I realize that it is people with brains but without hearts followed by those without either that will do us in.

Empathy contributes to our survival. Cruelty condemns us all.

New goal: I would like to be someone’s ethics chief, and I would like the ability to slap when necessary. Side note- though I get why having one is necessary, I feel like anyone who needs a personal ethics chief for guidance on believing pedophilia is wrong, shouldn’t be in any sort of charge.

Norm’s response? “Did not!”

Stop trying to make Andrew Cuomo happen, he’s not going to happen.

I just started having the intense need to use closed captioning when I’m watching television. I’m chalking it up to the characters having Australian accents and me being a dim American, but I think it’s recently entering my 40’s.

People who put eyelashes on their headlights make me smile. But I’m a New Yorker at heart so I don’t.

I am a strong and independent woman, but when my husband screws the tops on the water bottles and I have to take them off, I being to question everything.

I’m pretty sure that everyone should all watch True Blood all the way through, paying careful attention to the last season

Is there a Superman movie out? I hadn’t heard.
