Texas is currently grappling with a measles outbreak, with the number of confirmed cases reaching 900 since the start of January. Notably, nearly half of these cases have been identified in Gaines County, Texas. (1/3) - The Washington Post www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...

Despite having owned a dog or two, I'm truly a cat person. Funny enough, I've never actually owned a cat! If I were to visit that store and find a cat I connected with, I'd happily spend time there, a purring friend on my lap as I read, (1/2) www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/20...

AOC: I saw on Fox, Jeanine Pirro says that they found so many babies and two year olds and four year olds receiving social security. I got a notice for you Jeanine Pirro: those babies receive social security because their parents died. That’s not a waste. That’s humanity. That’s America.

Most EVs can travel between 300 and 400 miles on a single charge. In most cases, a quick 10- to 20-minute charge adds another 100 to 200 miles of range. (1/3) 'Range anxiety will go away': How the Mercedes CLA sedan could upend Americans' views on EVs - ABC News abcnews.go.com/Business/ran...

Of course, reading on an e-ink reader is always better. I own a few of them: Boox Air 2, Kobo Libra Color, and Kindle Oasis, first-gen. Why e-ink is better for reading than your phone or tablet | Popular Science

It's good to know. I will be turning 50 soon and will get the shingles vaccine. I’m not looking forward to it because I know it might be sore for a while, (1/2) A recent study strengthens the link between the shingles vaccine and a lower risk of dementia. med.stanford.edu/news/all-new...

"Layoffs across the U.S. surged 205% in Mar when compared with a year earlier, with last month's 275,240 job cuts fueled by widespread firings engineered by billionaire Elon Musk's DOGE, according to outplacement firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas." www.cbsnews.com/news/layoffs...

Congratulations, Trump, on causing the Dow Jones to drop over 1,000 points after declaring a trade war and imposing higher tariffs on multiple countries.

In the first 100 days of Trump's presidency, the U.S. economy saw around 533,000 new jobs added. In contrast, during Biden's first 100 days, approximately 1.57 million jobs were created, the highest for any presidency since 1939. Is it amazing? Biden is still the most outstanding president ever.

Someone on Twitter suggests that Trump could achieve the impossible. He stated that we should no longer trust the experts if Trump's tariffs succeed. However, history shows that heavy tariffs have been tried before and didn’t work out well.

Elon plans to exit DOGE at the end of May—just two months away. Since January, he and his DOGE team have been working to cut government waste. [1/4]

Thirteen days ago, I checked out V.E. Schwab's 'The Near Witch' (254 pages) from the library thru Libby. Now, with only 8 days left, I'm only 32% done! The deadline is looming, and I'm a bit stressed. I'm aiming for 25 pages a day to finish. It's been enjoyable so far, so I'm determined to make it!

I've started watching 'Holland,' the psychological thriller, on Amazon Prime. It's about a woman, played by Nicole Kidman, whose seemingly perfect life in Holland, Michigan, takes a dark turn. I'm halfway through and looking forward to seeing how it ends this week. Stay tuned for my thoughts on it.

I am watching Sonic the Hedgehog 3

I am watching Nosferatu, a vampire film. I hope it is good.

Trump is officially a president but…

I couldn’t help but wonder—if Elon Musk hadn’t played a role, would Trump have still won the election? Was his victory inevitable, or did Musk’s influence create a ripple effect that changed everything?

No matter what Trump does, it will never serve the greater good—his actions are consistently driven by self-interest and disregard for the truth.

The countdown begins: less than twelve hours until chaos erupts. A tempest is brewing, threatening to engulf the nation's very essence. The repercussions will be far-reaching, forever altering the global landscape.

I shared it on Technogeek’s Provoking Thoughts page on Facebook. It discusses the anti-social behavior prevalent in today’s society. What are your thoughts on it? buff.ly/42fcSZT

I posted this on Technogeek’s Provoking Thoughts on Facebook. It's about bacon, which I absolutely love! I usually eat 2 or 3 rashers, and sometimes more if I'm in the mood, especially on weekends. buff.ly/42eQ6l1

I shared a post on Technogeek’s Provoking Thoughts page on Facebook regarding the FDA's controversial ban on Red Dye No. 3, which will take effect in 2027. Did the FDA make the right decision? Companies will need to find alternatives—will that be beneficial or detrimental? buff.ly/4hgq7O7

I am watching Moana 2.

I am watching Wicked, Part 1.

Ok, this is funny as fuck.

Sounds fair to me!
