We were wired different when we were kids. High of 96 expected today and the high schoolers are all wearing black. Meanwhile I've got my white long sleeved UPF50 and wide brimmed hat ready to go.

Got some book recommendations, went to my library site to check them out, all of them had waiting lists. I always think it's a good sign when a book recommendations has a library wait list

Can't throw your phone across the room or embed it in ceiling tiles when you get irritated. Or rather, you can do it, but only once.

By the way, the folks I was talking to today weren't even in the US. I think the government of Egypt ought to take a look at the working conditions in their call centers and have a few words with the United States about how US corporations are treating the citizens of their country #LivingWage

I have no idea about what it's going to take to get folks to realize that we don't need to be killing people or destroying our sole source of water. Feels like common sense to me, but what do I know? I just live here. #EaglePass #RioGrande #RioBravo

Dos de los ancianos —ambos rondan los ochenta años— terminaron su café. Al marcharse, bromearon con los de la mesa diciendo que iban a ir a recoger las boyas del Río Bravo que se habían soltado para venderlas como chatarra.

Morning laugh: Two of the viejitos left coffee, both are in their 80s. As they left they joked with the table that they're going to go round up the runaway Rio Grandes buoys and sell them for scrap.

Trump's insecurities about Mamdani will soon surpass his insecurities about Obama and while Trump already seems to be prepping an attack on/ICE invasion of NYC as a result, I genuinely think it may spectacularly backfire IN PART bc other Americans are being reminded that they too actually love NYC.

As a reminder for everyone saying, "The US had never before scored four goals in a World Cup" that they mean the men's team had never before scored that many. The women's team has absolutely scored more than four goals in a world cup, including in the final. And they also wins things.

How long it takes and how hard it is to undo the damage will depend in large part on the political will of the people elected to do it. If you get hand-wringing caveat peddlers who want to deliberate for years before acting it'll never happen. Plan has to be ready on day one

"Why's it taking so long to take down the name when they put it up so fast?" yeah, undoing every single thing he's done is gonna be exactly like that, get used to it
