The pre-dawn view of the plane crash site at DCA from my hotel, followed by pics from my office building after sunrise.

How’s this for a conspiracy theory? Trump is going to “save” TikTok by arranging to have it sold to Truth Social or some other asset over which he has a controlling interest. No matter what, this is going to involve some form of personal enrichment for Trump.

Real leaders seek out a diversity of opinions. Cowards purge their team of critical thinkers. Fools demand that everyone agree with them. #iftys

This season of “The Apprentice” is going to be the absolute f’ing worst. I can’t stand *any* of these characters.

Wow. Hunter Biden is going to get away with the crimes of <checks notes> tax evasion and illegal gun possession. Terrible stuff. I hereby vow to never vote for another Biden.

Welp. The second Trump administration has its first official measure of time to replace the Mooch. Coming in at 8 days, a Gaetz is 3 days shorter than the tenure of Anthony Scaramucci.

Desperately trying to figure out what I should find offensive in the Olympic closing ceremonies so that I have something to post on Facebook tomorrow.

The next time someone posts or says something about a “DEI hire”, ask them to explain that to you. See if they know what the words mean. Ask them if that’s really “a thing” or if it’s code for something or someone they don’t like.

There has got to be a better way to handle registrations for @runDisney events. I was online and in the queue well ahead of the 10am opening. But I still ended up waiting for 2 HOURS before being given the chance to frantically attempt to register & pay
