Bring back the old GenX idea of “selling out.” We’re not talking indie band does beer commercial now.

If you’ve ever had a horrible job you couldn’t just quit and a mean manager dictating your schedule and actions, you’re aware of what a totalitarian regime is. Now imagine having to take that home and living it 24/7 with NO severance.

Upside: learning radical self-reliance. Downside: learning to accept the end of our social contract.

We aren’t 14th Century Venetians and we certainly aren’t 19th Century Boers. Musk is NOT one of us in every conceivable way. America is an idea. He is against it and also made his fortune from it. What kind of African warlord are we entertaining here?!

HHS will be led by a crackpot junkie. Nothing that department says should be believed or followed under this administration. Also, prepare yourself for an Avian flu epidemic. That data is already being buried. God knows what the Nepo Camelot Spawn will say or do. Probably blame chem trails.

I live in Arizona. Old Mexico, pre-1848. AKA Azatlan, just north of the Gadsden Purchase. A bought land. Native, but now occupied by what the natives on the West Coast used to call “Bostonians.” The canals here are old. Older than London. If you think Israel is complicated, welcome to Phoenix!

We weren’t consulted. It was done. That’s the core of the insult from Musk, a consultant, to me. He is an interloper in our democratic process. I wasn’t consulted. It was just done.

The Coast Guard leader who just got unceremoniously axed w/out cause would be a great ally & leader of a renewed country, the one we not only deserved but more than earned. Lift up the fired ones right away the way they did repugnant misanthropes. Don’t wait for Democrats. Have our own restoration.

Doesn’t it seem like he’s marauding thru our institutions painstakingly built over centuries setting them alight in a day? A modern day Robespierre, cleansing & terrorizing on the back of his own fantasy. This African Edge Lord, the one our tax dollars enriched, brought us to the brink. For what?

Musk doesn’t want to be Bonaparte or the Big H. He wants to be Robespierre.

The war on woke is a fight against empathy. They’d rather we be tearing at each other’s throats over scraps than turn our attention to matters of equality and justice.

If only we'd done good things as boldly as they're now doing bad things. That was the only meaningful takeaway from the first Trump presidency (besides never allowing him back into power) and the democrats completely blew it.

I do appreciate Elizabeth Warren and AOC trying to work with Democrats to remind them of their role as the loyal (to the Constitution) opposition.

Hopefully, the LA fires spur a massive, unending residential building boom. California has robbed its citizens of proper housing options for decades. Housing and healthcare should be central government functions.

Living in one American state and understanding its politics, history, and culture is complex enough. Trying to absorb and contend with the issues of 49 other ones as well is too much. Leave that for D.C. to not resolve. Motto for the year: Stand in the Place where you Live.

Late New Year's morning in Kyiv. Drones attacked us at night. Wreckage fell on a residential building in one of the city districts. Six people were injured. I had my slow #warcoffee Today's Ukrainian art: Olena Koroliuk, Letter. She uses the batik technique (painting on fabric using wax and dyes)
