I've got a sprained foot AND a sprained hip* from two separate incidents, so I am staying home today. To everyone protesting, have a great day and stay safe. I'll be there in spirit. *Sprained my hip trying not to drop ginormous Van Gogh book as I left the library 😅😅

If you see memes encouraging you to sit during a protest DON’T These may be put out by law enforcement or groups looking to manipulate the situation. Sitting makes you vulnerable, and you could get kicked in the face. Stay alert, stay mobile, and protect yourself.

@tressiemcphd.bsky.social Read today's column, agree with you about O.D.S., with one addition: people who push the idea that Michelle Obama should run for President are crazy ... and mean. Why not try to find someone who wants the job? Sheesh, leave Michelle alone

There are several reasons I like Intervention but mostly it's because those are hard but fixable problems. Once they detox and get therapy, most people can turn things around if they want to. Unlike Donald Trump's mess. I wish he was just in my garage doing fentynal all day.

For the record, I do not understand how New Yorker voters pick a mayor. Take this from NYT: "Recent polls show that Cuomo is roughly 10 percentage points ahead of the No. 2 candidate, Zohran Mamdani." What??
