The midterms will serve as an unprecedented stress test of the integrity of American elections “with more election deniers having access to federal power than ever before,” some experts and Democrats warn.

There is so much market manipulation going on in this administration.

I also received one of these scam texts, this is the one I got the other day.

No, I didn’t think it was real for a second but I worry about our elders (especially my parents) who would think this is real. I’m happy Rey and Ronald wrote something on this.

Steve Bannon pissed his pants on stage at the World Economic Forum, Kash Patel is missing, Pete Kegsbreth is quoting Pulp Fiction as the Bible, RFK, Jr. eats raccoon penis, and Trump keeps using war to milk the markets. No one is coming to save us. We have to save ourselves. Lock them all up.

Paul McCartney: "Another Day,"

All 4 songs still sound great, 55 yrs later.
Play 'em loud.

I miss having a cubicle, since I work mostly remotely. This is my cubicle decor the last few months at Navajo Times in 2021. All sentimental. A writer I was dating at the time made that framed piece of El Morro for me, since it was my first visit there when he took me. Sweet. I think I lost it.

Interpol was playing tonight and I wasn’t able to go. The last time I saw them was in 2011.

A friend of mine decided to make me even more sad when he posted videos of the concert 😭😭

Nice! Went to cover this and ended up getting a certificate of completion. Good times. 😁

But in all seriousness, I did learn a lot from this and it’s free for all federally recognized tribes.
