Recession is looming and still I cannot conjure up any sympathy for people who didn’t vote for Harris. “Sorry you don’t know how things work” is probably the best I’ll ever be able to do.

Sometimes in Stardew Valley, after a break, I forget I was in the middle of a quest and therefore fail to meet the goal. Just like real life.

There needs to be MANY fronts in this moment. This could be one. Start small. If not welcome in red districts, do so in adjacent ones and invite all comers. Build to larger town halls and rallies. The orange turd pays attention to rallies. Even the sellouts in the media do. #politics

I suppose my switch to lower risk investments last year is finally going to look smart

“It’s not only that private equity firms are exploiting the tax code to make themselves billionaires,” Eileen O’Grady, director of programs at Private Equity Stakeholder Project, told Truthout. “They’re also eroding health care, the climate and the quality of jobs across almost every industry.” […]

Had a lot of fun at the symphony concert today. It was in a vintage plane museum. Snacks and wine at the intermission were part of the ticket. Ran into my old boss/mentor and had a nice chat. Watching people concentrate to play music written centuries ago reminded me that despite all the […]

I’ve read the FDIC website about cryptocurrency and still can’t figure out if it’s insured or not. I hope it’s not.

The horror of realizing the United States is now functioning as an Axis-style power.

Completely out of character we are going to a symphony concert this afternoon. Husband asked if he should wear his good overalls. I said yes and to attach both straps.

Alaskans better start learning Russian

Switched my PC browser to Duck Duck Go. Already use it for mobile. Used to use Chrome but quit all things Google 8 years ago. Then used Firefox but with the latest Mozilla change I’ve moved on once again. I quit Facebook in 2015 and Twitter in 2022. Just jumping from lily pad to lily pad. What […]

My interior decorating style can be summed up as “wait until the cat dies”. #Carurday

Don’t know what it means but I absolutely hate having nail polish on my fingernails or toenails. As soon as it’s put on I obsess about getting it off. I like the way it looks on others but just hate the feel of it. I also really dislike the feel of long nails.

Bad days are the days to think of #3GoodThings 1. Pruned our 8 dwarf fruit trees, Marion berries and thornless Apache blackberries yesterday 2. Blue skies and 64 degrees yesterday and more good gardening weather predicted today 3. Husband cooked dinner last night

Assessing our situation I can see we are now in an authoritarian state aligned with Russia. The oligarchs are raiding the treasury in plain sight. Profound changes are coming for the economy but I don’t understand economics much less crypto currency or stock market manipulation so I don’t know […]

I was a child when Chavez took power in Venezuela and I saw democracy dismanteled over my highschool years. By the time I was in college the dictatorship was already well entrenched. So, I know one can vote their way out of democracy, but not back in. Seeing the […] [Original post on mas.to]

There needs to be a word for the swoosh of air created by Republican Senators and Congressmen rushing to kiss Trump’s ass. They are all pleased with his performance today.

I’m old enough to remember when Ronald Reagan stood in front of the Berlin Wall and said “Mr Gorbachev, how much of east Germany’s minerals are you willing to give us?”

It was nice to see Zelenskyy, a man of courage, in the White House. I doubt I’ll see it again in my lifetime.

Props to #Zelenskyy for even going to a room full of the dumbest people alive. I know you can't discard any opportunity when your whole country is at stake, even if it seems hopeless.

The guy who asked Zelensky if he owned a suit, Brian Glenn, is a reporter for the pro-Trump media network Real America’s Voice and also Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's boyfriend. He got one of the rare Oval Office interviewer spots only after the White House blocked the Associated Press.

So Russian state media but not Associated Press gets to cover the White House, the shadow president gives Nazi Salutes, the Supreme Court is illegitimate, every thing said by the president is a lie but the Christo-fascists keep waving the stars and strips saying WE swallowed the blue pill.

So WTF are the brave GOP freedom fighters in Congress doing about Russian influence in the White House? Putting out their hands and getting on their knees I imagine.

Watching Putin’s little stooges try to bully Zelenskyy in our goddamned White House is pretty repulsive.

Last night, I suspended an account, 27 minutes after it was created, for claiming to be E lon M usk. It had the whole scammer M.O. It immediately began following a bunch of people, hoping to hit on someone who would believe it was the real person contacting them. I read about people losing […]

Except for it cancelling my grandsons’ visit I’m almost rooting for a government shutdown on the 15th. Except this time federal workers should stay home instead of working for Musk for free.

Zelensky will truly do anything for his people and his country. Even deal with the orange shit stain.

Gene Hackman in the Royal Tenenbaums was absolutely sublime.

Elon sues advertisers for not advertising on his shitty propaganda site. Let’s make Bezos sue consumers for not using Amazon.

Some say tomorrow’s economic blackout won’t impact the economy much and that’s probably right but if we can stick together for one day next time we can stick together for two and so on. It’s a flex and maybe we can grow it into a stronger flex.

Woot! Almost exactly 60 hours later we have power! I celebrated by drying some clothes and cooking a casserole

I was born in a year where it was assumed everyone had had measles. I do recall having measles but the Doctor told my mom it wasn’t the “hard” measles it was “3 day measles” (rubella). To be safe I had the test before volunteering in a grade school since I was never vaccinated. Sure enough I’m […]

If I’ve learned anything from social media it’s to be suspicious of anybody telling me things I want to hear. That’s a game to get clicks.

I’ve had 3 cancerous skin lesions removed - one was melanoma. Been through two dermatologists - one retired and one moved. There are no longer any Dermatologists taking new patients in my county so I take a ferry to Seattle to see a doctor (who has also stopped taking new patients). He said he […]

Was watching Resident Alien last night and it showed characters playing Don’t Starve Together! That’s my favorite game. Also featured George Takei as an impudent alien.

Gene Hackman died. The universe is killing the wrong people.

i thought we didn’t let criminals into our borders but i guess if ur a sex trafficker it’s no worries From: @AlJazeera https://flipboard.com/@aljazeera/us-canada-news-010sv4dcz/-/a-d4UKmdLgR6i7FciLEkB9wg%3Aa%3A3199698-%2F0 #uspol #sextrafficking #andrewtate #romania
