The contrast between the ideals the U.S. has strived to uphold, however messily and inadequately at times, and the views of the current administration has never been as stark as it was today. The shining beacon on the hill is being intentionally doused by those tasked with keeping it burning.

I think Jelato overdid it watching the news. I feel ya, buddy.

Pickles is pouting because I wouldn't give her a second (or third, fourth, fifth...) breakfast.

A chilly, but not a chili, day. Beef lentil soup and (I was a bit ambitious) homemade bread. On the left, oatmeal, on the right cheese (cheddar, pepper jack, parm).

I am currently twitching as I listen to a joint trump-musk press conference, and musk was talking about unelected bureaucrats running things....really? He also sounds like someone pretending to understand things he really doesn't. The raging hour has come early today. Time for a stiff drink.
