I took this photo at my local Target last week. Not photoshop. Unedited, and unbelievable. For $42 I could hire someone to do the job.

#Caturday Meet Zoe, the roughest, toughest editor on the eastern seaboard, awaiting the second draft of my new novel, dammit. "You're late!" she meows, until a belly rub and sufficient salmon treats buy me another day.

While going through some old papers, I found 38,000 words of a half finished novel I began writing about 40 years ago, and gave up once I got some traction on my playwriting. And even more amazing—it ain’t half bad. Needs work, obviously, but so do I.

Next six months after new Trump-loving Fed chairman: 1. Rates down by a percent shortly 2. Market responds well, everyone's happy 3. Inflation at 5 or 6% in time for Halloween 4. Market crashes 5. Another rate cut 6. Dems get the House and Senate to clean it all up.

@redpainter1.bsky.social as a BBC broadcaster friend of mine says, If you’re not scared we’re not doing our jobs. Predicted upwards of 2 feet, so far 5 inches and it looks mostly over. I’ve never seen snow totals consider sleet. They’re compensating.

@lordshortcake.bsky.social if ever your maxim of If you’re not scared we’re not doing our jobs was correct, it’s for this east coast US storm. Predicted go updates of 2 feet, so far 5 inches and it looks over. Good luck with the move! See you at Blackheath in May!

It’s 2:30 am. I have, in Aspen Hill MD, perhaps a half-inch of snow. And nothing coming down. Is it evaporating in the atmosphere? I assume more is coming, but if this is it, it’s the most spectacular miss in forecasting history. All the more reason to restore 100% of #NOAA’s funding.

My beautifully mischievous, rare orange female tabby named Zoe, loves to rip and chew paper. I found this last night, tooth marks and all. The dreaded DO NOT REMOVE THIS TAG UNDER PENALTY OF LAW under my sofa. The Tag Police will be paying me a visit in very very due course.

ABC is being held hostage by its affiliates. Tell Sinclair and Nextstar to pound sand and withdraw their status and network programming. Tell them to run repeats of The Beverly Hillbillies. I'm sure they could quickly find other stations. #Kimmel

The Nation pulls NO punches, from @espiers.bsky.social "There's no requirement to take part in this whitewashing campaign. Refusing to join in doesn’t make anyone a bad person. It’s a choice to write an obituary that begins “Joseph Goebbels was a gifted marketer and loving father to six children.”
