Given the way Chuck “sternly worded letter” Schumer soft pedals yet again, I’m beginning to think he’s in the Epstein files.

I never expected Jeff Epstein to be the person to unite the country. Release the files. Right, left, expose them all.

TACO. Finally the resistance symbol we have been waiting for! Ordering a couple of lapel pins now.

Trump says Golden Dome system would cost Canada $61 billion U.S. President Donald Trump said in a Truth Social post on Tuesday that a proposed Golden Dome missile defense shield that he has previously said Canada wanted to be part of would cost Ottawa $61 bill...

Fun math with some quick AI research!
Trumps Golden Dome cost to Canada: $61B
Canada’s National Healthcare spending: $312B
Healthcare costs as 51st state: $477B
Difference in Healthcare costs: $165B

No deal, stinky!

Thinking about writing “86 47” everywhere just to trigger the MAGA snowflakes.

“The dean of the College of Cardinals, Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, presided over the service, urging the voters to set aside all personal interests and find a pope who prizes unity. The world today needs a leader who can awaken consciences, he said.”

Translation: we need a pope who hates gays.

I almost fell for it.

We need leaders who will start outlining a clear new vision for building back from this incompetent nightmare of corruption governing us right now.

“The same person, maybe, but separated by a Rubicon of experience.” - from the album notes to Neil Young’s “Harvest Moon” on Apple Music. Sums up where we all are now, perfectly.

Schumer: Democrats have ‘a real direction now’ Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), who has been the target of scathing criticism from members of his own party after voting for a Republican-drafted stopgap spending bill that cut man…

We had a real direction in 2020. Biden was supposed to be a transitional president clearing the way for new voices in 2024. Then all the old Boomer fossils stuck around. (I’m a proto-fossil.) Get out of the way Chuck. I’m done with you.

So do not mention a technology, decades in the making, proven to have saved millions. This is the equivalent of being told not to mention AI.

Disgusted by their support of Putin over democracy today? Me too. Do something about it. Make a contribution directly to the efforts in Ukraine today.

Volodymyr Zelensky's Oval Office visit ended early when Donald Trump and JD Vance began angrily yelling at him. Here's why women like Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton are too emotional to be president.

IMHO: At this point being smeared by our co-presidents on X or Truth Social really should be considered a point of pride. The more they have use these techniques to assuage their fragile egos the less effective they are.

Google Calendar no longer includes start of Black History Month, Pride Month Google Calendar has removed reference to observances such as the beginning of Black history Month on Feb. 1, and Women's History Month on March 1.

My interest in attending the SF Pride parade this year is being buoyed by a growing desire to boo at the tech companies that dare to show up in “support”

The media will both-siderism report that this is to bring universities with billion dollar endowments into line. In reality it will devastate work all the colleges and small research institutes that don’t across all of America. Short sighted.

“American Mariposa.”

You can’t be pro-democracy, pro-American and pal around with billionaires, period.

No surprises here.

You would think man older than I am would remember that there already was a “Riviera of the Middle East”. It was called Lebanon, and that didn’t work out so well.

Depressed about fascism coming to America? This one pot cassoulet will make you feel like you’re living in Vichy France.

🏳️‍🌈 Returned home this evening after getting married in San Francicsco and spending the last few days in a quiet alpine retreat. 🏳️‍🌈

Grateful to have spent yesterday with Cubito strolling out to Mirror Lake in Yosemite on the last full day of our honeymoon.

I’ve been here before, but the younger me foolishly experienced it like he was running through a checklist to achieve some worldly status….or something. The older man I am now says “Not today.”

Beginning married life with a couple of quiet days in Yosemite.

Best day of my life: 1/21/25.

Today is the day! Got up early to walk the beach at San Gregorio to thank the universe for this man before getting married later today.

Grateful for all the people in my life that contributed their light to the pre-wedding celebration last night (The wizard of decorating conjured this up for one of the tables.)

James Webb Space Telescope's 'little red dots' come into focus A cosmic object spotted by the James Webb Space Telescope has flummoxed astronomers. Now, a research team has studied hundreds of these "little red dots" and found clues about their identity.
