Just saw a commercial for Wendy's Son of Baconator burger. They said it has "bacon that just won't quit". I want my bacon to quit. Once it's eaten, I don't want to hear from it again.

Serious question - what's to stop Trump from announcing that Musk is now the president? Yes it's unconstitutional but what if he says "try and stop me", or he designates Musk the "unofficial acting president" and delegates all presidential rights to him?

BAD: Renaming US military bases named after slave owners, anti-abolitionists, and military officers who fought AGAINST the US military. GOOD: Renaming bodies of water just to piss people off

I hear that to get around the new DEI restrictions, they're renaming it Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity (IDE) next month. Keep a lookout for the IDEs of March.

How about a few #nostalgic #Sacramento #buffets from my #1970s and #1980s childhood? We ate at Buffee's Buffet many times; after that closed we went to North's Chuck Wagon (later renamed JJ North's Grand Buffet). Never went to Smorga Bob's, but I love the name.

I heard they renamed Fort Liberty back to Fort Bragg, but now named after someone else. I think Commander McBragg?

Here are a few more #Sacramento #1970s and #1980s #nostalgic newspaper snippets, this time for grocery stores that no longer exist - some for decades like Farmer's Market.

I'll tell you what, #DOGE sure is efficient at completely fucking up our country's data integrity, its systems' security, its people's privacy, our ability to identify and combat foreign threats, and our place on the world stage. So that part of their name is accurate at least.

What could go wrong by forcing artificially low interest rates? Other than runaway inflation, that is? I'm sure there's more that can go wonky. Like Trump, I'm not a financial expert; one difference between us is that I'm not a friend of Dunning or Kruger.

And now for something completely different. On the other place, I posted a few newspaper ads from years gone by that resonate with me as someone who grew up in #Sacramento in the #1970s and #1980s. Here's my first on BlueSky, a restaurant I vaguely but fondly remember - Big Top Pizza!

I asked my wife this question. Considering how things are going, at what point do we leave the country? We have the means but we also have family. Could she leave them behind? There is no easy answer.

Here's my "doom-and-gloom but I think it's true" take on yesterday's protests. Trump will call them insurrections and protesters violent criminals, declare martial law and suspend the constitution. Protesting will be a crime. Troops will be instructed to provoke and attack protesters.

If you own a #Tesla car or (snicker) truck, take the loss and destroy it. Don't sell it - demolish it. Yes, you'll lose a butt-load of money but you'll send the right message. Same applies to Tesla solar power systems. Rip it off your home or business and throw it in the trash.

I just deactivated my Twitter account. Thirty days until it is permanently deleted. I will not use a service owned by a man who is literally destroying our country.

Not gonna do it. Wouldn't be prudent at this juncture. I do not welcome our new muskrat overlords.

Duh me. The way the GOP won't give up the presidency when they lose is the VP will refuse to recognize the states' slate of electors. This is what Pence wouldn't do - but I bet Vance will.

I'm planning to protest at my state capitol on Wednesday. Will you be at yours? #Protest #SaveDemocracy #EndFascism #StopTrump #StopProject2025 #StopMusk

I knew Red Dawn was ridiculous when I saw it in the theater as a young teen in 1984. Never thought we might be "invaded" by Russia but here we are. We need Patrick Swayze and Powers Boothe but all we've got is Charlie Sheen and C. Thomas Howell. I hope they're enough.

Congress has a short window of time to fix this by removing Trump, then Vance, Johnson, etc., as needed to restore normalcy. Will they give up their remaining power to appease the loudest faction of their benefactors and constituents?

After a school shooting: It's too soon to talk about gun control! Stop playing politics! Hours after the air disaster: It's minorities! It's the disabled! It's DEI! Difference being we KNOW guns are used in school shootings while the right is wildly speculating about DEI without any proof.

If we somehow manage to remove Trump from office, we'd get President Vance. Is that really any better? After Vance it's Mike Johnson, then Chuck Grassley, then Marco Rubio. It's only at that point that I'd feel even marginally better.

The problem is the MAGA rank and file actually LIKE the cruel and inhumane treatment of others. Gives them someone to blame for all the problems in their lives. That the highest levels of government encourage it is just a team-building exercise for the most depraved among us.

I predict that because Trump controls the agencies that will investigate the crash, he will force them to create a final report that blames DEI and the Biden administration. The truth no longer matters.
