I was thinking about taking up running for exercise, then I remembered Proverbs 28:1 “The wicked run when no one is chasing them”

SHAME: Mike Collins says seniors need to “get off Social Security [and] get back into the workforce” After Trump sabotaged Social Security by effectively building a wall of red tape between seniors and their earned benefits, NOW REPUBLICANS WANT YOU TO WORK UNTIL YOU DIE.

Trump has promised multiple stimulus checks (have you received one?) He promised his tariffs would revive U.S. manufacturing (we've lost manufacturing jobs). He promised lower gas prices (they're higher now). He promised to keep us out of new wars (he started one with Iran). Noticing a pattern?

I saw this at Kroger today. It’s a robot that automatically scans the inventory on the shelves.

When "homeless working adults with minor-aged children" becomes a distinct administrative category—not an anomaly, but a recognized population requiring its own eligibility framework—you know something is very, very broken in our society.

I’m sick of our media pretending like it’s normal to have a president snoozing during Oval Office meetings then raging on social media in the dead of night. It is not a storyline you gloss over. It is the story.

@olgapatluyk.bsky.social My sister Mary received her gorgeous necklace today. She wanted me to tell you that she loves it, and can’t wait to wear it. She raved about the care that you put into it, from the quality and beauty of the materials and workmanship to the care that you took in packing.

I just realized that I turned 68 and a half 5 days ago. I think I’m at the age where I should celebrate half birthdays again.

Kyiv. Emergency situation in the energy sector. Since last night, the curfew has been eased so people can reach the Points of Invincibility (public warming and charging shelters) anytime. We hold on. But let’s not forget: we’re made of flesh and blood, just like you.

You often write that you love my smile, but sometimes it’s so hard to smile, so hard to seem strong. Today my smile is resting. It needs time to regain its strength. My work here 🤗 etsy.com/shop/HappyJewelryHelga

As the tree lighting was ending, I was next to a Latino family. I looked at the father and said, Feliz Navidad! His face lit up, and he said it back to me. Then he said let me give you a hug! I said sure, and we hugged. I told him, I’m glad you’re here. He said pray for us. 1/2

I was out today checking out the Christmas decorations and figuring out where I need to be for tomorrow night’s Christmas tree lighting when I saw this:
