In a world gone mad, I just learned that you can make leather out of kombucha scobies. I think we are going to be OK. I have a couple of scoby hotels.

If you aren't supporting Dolly Parton, you are on the wrong side of history. P.s. some might say imagination is more important than knowledge, but I think books are a good combination of both. www.rollingstone.com/music/music-...

Want to go visit the national parks this year? Sorry. The reservation system is shut down, EMT personnel are gone, so don't get hurt or lost. No one can clean the bathrooms or cabins, so they'll be closed. Rangers are fired. www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

Other Canadians get Family Day to spend with their family, but Manitobans get Louis Riel Day. We spend it plotting rebellion. But with our families so it's definitely a win-win.

Happy Louis Riel Day! “We have heard whispers from the south, voices that suggest annexation to the United States. But I tell you now, Red River is not for sale. We are a people, not a commodity to be traded between nations." - Letter from Louis Riel to US President Ulysses S. Grant, Oct. 3, 1870.

The private sector (and state/city orgs) need to snap up all the highly-qualified, experienced, and capable candidates while they can. Like this one.

When I heard Musk say this on Tuesday, my assumption was that it was a programming issue. Because I can code and have written to databases and because I am familiar with other examples of default values being misinterpreted. Yet somehow Musk isn't.

Thinking of how Damon Runyon should come back from the dead to cover Eric Adams and the White House thuggery.

Boycotting the super bowl. Tired of billionaires and the troubles they cause, and that event seems full of the worst. Yearning for a simple mystery heavy on descriptions of weather and soup, possibly fan fiction involving Bernie Sanders, ice cream, cows, Vermont farmhouses, & a deserving dead body.

I've been struggling with how to protect my mental health amid the chaos and cruelty. This morning Dan Rather shared this song. The last thing left in Pandora's jar was hope. youtu.be/NG2zyeVRcbs?...
