The White House comments line is only open Tues-Thurs. from 11am-3pm? What bullshit.

Slava Ukraini.

We just watched Trump & Vance do Putin’s bidding in the Oval Office & it was horrific. Not even two months into this administration & it’s a disaster for the free world.

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

The DOJ website where you can download the Jack Smith report on the incoming convicted felon Trump’s activities to overthrow the 2020 election. Do it now, because obviously it will be wiped once we pass January 20, possibly sooner I guess. Scroll down to documents. www.justice.gov/sco-smith

Judge Cannon has just *denied* President-Elect Trump’s last-ditch effort to extend her injunction against public release of the January 6 volume of Special Counsel Smith’s report. Her injunction expires in 32 minutes.

As Gavin Newsom leads the California state level response to LA fire disaster, he takes the extraordinary step of stamping out all the other creeping “fires” - the big lies circulating about what has brought us here and what’s happening now: gavinnewsom.com/california-f...

Delete Facebook. If you want pictures of your granddaughter, ask her mother or father for some. Why did we ever allow Mark Zuckerberg to monetize our relationships with our loved ones? Stop reading it. Don’t go there. It’s really that simple. No one is forcing you to use Facebook!

To help people affected by LA Fires: Here’s the official California state website with info on how people can get financial, legal, housing, unemployment, and other kinds of help. www.ca.gov/LAfires/

Please, here of all places, post *real information links* for the LA fires, not political back-and-forth. A lot of people have been without power there and may just now be getting to places where they can access and read/see real information about their neighbors and neighborhoods. #LAFires

This is the excellent LA Fires mapping tool, with active fire cameras, evacuation zone status, fire containment updates for #LAFires #EatonFire #PalisadesFire #HurstFire #Altadena #PacificPalisades app.watchduty.org

I will return to this livestream (same link as below) one last time for today at 5:30pm Pacific Time. The scope of the devastation from these fires truly is stunning, even given recent historical context. #CAwx #CAfire #PalisadesFire #EatonFire

Starting again at or around 1:30pm PT today (1/8), I will begin a NEW livestream to discuss the ongoing catastrophic wildfire events in Southern California. The link is different from AM session! #PalisadesFire #EatonFire #CAfire #CAwx youtube.com/live/uRn...

Apart from 11 of the 30 teams, the NBA is very mid right now. In the East, the bottom 11 teams (of 15) average a .403 winning percentage. In the West, the bottom 8 teams (including the Warriors) have an average winning percentage of .409. Very average. (Probably should be called losing percentage.)

Is there a way to never again see anything about wrestling?

My daughter and I were lucky enough to be in the front row at the Colbert Show taping, right in front of Jon Baptiste’s amazing band, on January 6, 2022. The talented show writers and production crew created this video to mark the occasion. youtu.be/H_IxT2ei9gU?...

And practice

So…Inauguration Day 2025 is…Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day. What do you say we turn our backs on the ugly, depressing Inauguration ceremony and all join a local volunteer project in honor of the national MLK Day of Service together? I bet we’d have a MUCH bigger crowd size #mlkday #volunteer #jan20

Apparently BlueSky users have all the turntables

Hard to imagine that Bob Dylan cares what we think. That’s a good thing.

If I could believe in heaven, I wish it could exist for the extraordinary former President and lifelong humanitarian Jimmy Carter

My final Twitter post, from 2022 🤔… so much forgetting goes on

I checked out of Twitter in 2014, except for 3 posts since 2020. It was a hate-filled garbage dump *ten years ago*. I hadn’t been willing to give back my user name (joined in March 2007). Silly. I was so enchanted by Twitter at the start. If you weren’t there, I’m sorry. BlueSky can never be that.

Congress should ask Pam Bondi during her confirmation hearings why she failed to bring statutory rape charges against Matt Gaetz.

Merry Christmas! The House Ethics Committee report on Matt Gaetz is here! ethics.house.gov/wp-content/u...

The end of the Santa Cruz Wharf collapsed. (I've lived in Santa Cruz since 1976.)
