I love baseball as much any kid who lived in Cincinnati in the 1970s, but geez what a bad idea!

I find it uplifting, when someone we have complex feelings about dies, to focus on the positive contributions they have made. Heartache, Hero, Total Eclipse of the Heart are all so beautiful. Can we please, for just a few days, put aside “If I Sing You a Love Song”? RIP Bonnie Tyler

Someone should make a movie imagining the first female US President. An alternative timeline story. Working title: When Hillary Didn’t Meet Bill

If only more Americans had the courage and decency to say “I was wrong.”

I wonder if the grandkids might prefer a body double? Does he ask what they’re learning in school? Does he let them drive the lawnmower? Does he sneak them hard candy?

Who puts a monstrous addition on a house they are planning to leave in three years?

Has anyone checked on the children in the families of those 16%?

This is why in the US of A we demand DUE PROCESS. Our family members should not have to identify our snatched, shaved, dehumanized bodies by our identifying marks and tattoos.

Listening to NPR at lunchtime today. Marjorie Taylor Greene is calling for the defunding and “dismantling” of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Clearly old girl could’ve used more Mr. Rogers and Sesame Street in her life.

Nebraskans voted for Trump over Harris 59.32% to 38.86%. Here’s what that got them.

This. We are complacent to these extraordinary attacks on due process & equal protection under the law, & on our health and safety, because most of us only know life WITH the protections our Congress, President, Judiciary & administrative agencies afford us. Most cannot imagine what we now face.

We are this way because our institutions worked. We assumed that professionals would take care of things. We don’t have terrible diseases because scientists could do their work. People forgot. Sad they have to learn the hard way.

A Federal District Court judge does not “file an injunction.” It is an order, by a co-equal branch of government. The Judge ISSUES an order. And until and unless a higher court stays or reverses that order, you comply with it. Whoever you are. Because the United States of America has no king.

Air Traffic Controllers are one of the few jobs with a legal mandatory retirement age, a really young one at that. 56-Full retirement. Perhaps you shouldn’t be firing the newer ones we just spent millions to train, who can now take those highly sought after skills anywhere in the world, you dumbass.

Fun fact: I think I would have had my second vaccination for measles in Lubbock TX. If not me, def my younger brother. Don’t blame west Tx doctors. Blame the intentionally ignorant antivaxxer attention-seekers killing those with weakened immune systems.

At this time of trouble for our nation, the words and example of a friend and one of my heroes, John Lewis, are a strong and motivating guide. He shared this in his last essay to the American people, penned just before he passed away:

I was led to believe by R.E.M. that I would feel a lot better about this.

Thanks Bluesky for 86-ing X. Now I need a non-Zuck Facebookish app STAT. I have cute stories and pics to share. I need a non-Bezos replacement for Amazon STAT. Shopping in stores?!? It’s hard, but no more of my $ to fools who turn around and use it to worship 47, the antithesis of everything good.

When someone’s cousin, niece, sister, etc. calls him sadistic or a predator, believe her.
