This Uber thing is getting out of hand. Now you need special clothing to ride in an Uber? Maybe it’s for drivers. Although possibly I had the wrong idea about the Uber clothing store in Bath, England.

The Bath Chocolate Company. Well, that’s quite a niche product, isn’t it? Chocolates to eat only in the bath. But I take showers. Oh, well. Although it might have something to do with it being in Bath, England, where I am now.

Note to restaurateurs: It’s not necessary for every member of your staff to stop by my table to ask if I’m enjoying my meal, some of them twice. Yes, I enjoyed the meal. But not as much as if I hadn’t had to interrupt a mouthful frequently to answer that question. Just saying.

I don't want to alarm anyone, but the USA (and by seepage from the ensuing toxic cesspool, the rest of the world), is so totally screwed if legislators pay any attention to the current president of the United States in this matter, or pretty well any matter. Good luck, all.

Trump told his supporters to drink bleach during Covid and they did. Trump called his supporters to DC on Jan 6 and told them to attack the Capitol. And they did. Now Trump is openly calling on his supporters to "cheat like hell" in the 2026 election. They 100% will.

I'm tired of people seeing Trump's mad king, off-the-chart-unpresidential posts and sloughing it off, saying "Natalie posted it." It's Trump's verified account. He can order Natalie to run every post by him first. He can fire her if she repeatedly posts crap. He doesn't, so he owns it all.
