We are saddened to learn of the death of President Carter. President Carter’s legacy extends beyond his 4 years serving in office, but also includes his post-Presidency work to build democratic institutions throughout the world. We offer our sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Happy Holidays from half of the von Yapp family! #dogchristmas

This has been a thing for some time I believe.

Post a picture YOU took. Just a pic. No description.

This needs to be said, loud, and often.

Make it make sense.

Earlier this week, Bret Stephens, a house conservative at the New York Times wrote a particularly terrible piece titled “Done With Never Trump.” @therickwilson.bsky.social wrote a reply to Bret. Never Trump means Never Trump. If you agree, please share it widely. bit.ly/4fq8ytB

A sign near home. This used to be Super Mercado, point of reference for anyone trying to find their way to San Jose’s Rose Garden.

I had polio when i was 9. I was taken from my parents & placed in a Hospital for contageous diseases- the polio ward. I would see them once a week - thru the glass window at the end of my ward. I could not walk. It was terrifying. Kids died. Iron lungs were awful. Dont let RFK Jr ban the vaccine

Thanksgiving was too successful. The mood was pleasant, the food was excellent. I’m tearing myself down today by reading The Road by Cormac McCarthy. #booksky

Does anyone suppose that the people who elected Orangey will ever realize the mistake they made? Or will they find another liberal to blame for increased prices, labor shortages, and shitty healthcare?

I often ask myself in bookstores, “Should I buy another book?” I don’t know why, b/c I always do. It’s a little game I play with myself that I call Rhetorical Certainty. No answer required, the deed is foretold. This is why my TBR pile is taller than I am and still growing. #booksky

I live with my wife, my daughter, and my two granddaughters so the most exciting part of day is when my 3 y/o granddaughter runs into the bathroom while I’m drying off from the shower and yells, “Pee pee!” as she’s making a mad dash for the toilet. Good times.

An oldie but a goodie. Spotted this in Sacramento. Needless to say, I did not.
