I'm in need of an amusing diversion. This is it: www.newyorker.com/culture/essa...

One month in. 47 more months of 47 to go, doing what he does best -- laying waste to life as we know it in these United States.

Raleigh NC - Monday - This is a real app, and it'll do half the work for you. People: Now is the time to flood the inboxes of your congressfolk.

Raleigh NC - Monday - Lots of folks with black hair, grey hair, white hair, no hair. The ages of the protesters in attendance ran the gamut.

Raleigh NC - Monday - Everyone was welcome to speak their mind.

Raleigh NC - Monday - Jenn Frye, Co-Director of the Carolina Federation, looks out over the crowd before her turn at the podium mic. The fairly-common Jacobs' method gives an estimate of about 400 folks in attendance.

I so love this.

If MuskRat can manage to soften the terrain here to be similar to that in China… apnews.com/article/tesl...

If it’s Friday, it must be “Appointment with the GP day.” Cooling my jets, and nursing a cup of coffee, at a Bojangle’s chicken house, NC42 E, Garner, while Janey sees her primary doc over at the med park. AM-shift staffers at restaurant prepare a VD display for the soon-to-arrive lunch crowd.

King SADIM (that’s MIDAS, backwards) - because everything upon which this schmuck lays his hands inexorably turns to lead.

👊

Tue AM: I take Janey to her PT session - some sober discussion re her knee and back; really good deep-tissue massage backside. PM: Orthopedist identifies nerve impingement. Imaging is next step. Post-appt cerci is a somewhat overpriced, but yummy burger from Al's on W Franklin St, Chapel Hill.

The Associated Press says the White House blocked it from covering an official event on Tuesday because it did not refer to the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America. By @davidfolkenflik.bsky.social

The fascists are starting to erase history. You might wish to make sure YOU have your own video remembrance of the day bsky.app/profile/npr....

I’m gonna guess that Jeff Rabhan voted for Orange.

Granddaughter, Amelia, engages in a battle of the wills with her dad's Ryobi one-horsepower electric leaf blower.

Super Bowl attendees, you know what to do.

It would definitely make my life easier.

What a long way we've come since the days of Barbara Jordan, who had to be five times better than anyone else just to be on the same playing field. Now, Texas has schmucks like, oh, I'll use the initials: Ted Cruz.

Some folks drool upon seeing a cheesecake, slathered in cherry syrup... for others, a huge slab of milk chocolate, with hazelnuts embedded throughout. Those do sound pretty good, but I am able to resist. What I simply cannot resist is a fresh bowl of crisp celery leaves. Narf!

happy first birthday to Bluesky, and what a year it's been! with every day, the need for an open network that puts people first becomes increasingly clear. we're glad to be building this with you. after all, the heart of a social network is the people.

The next four years will consist mostly of Donald Trump proposing insane criminal schemes he doesn't really want to do to distract from insane criminal schemes he is already doing.

What keeps me up at night?

What is swimming inside Phil Berger's head (or rather, what gnarled yet persuasive lobbyist's hand is massaging his wallet and gonads? Imagine... everyone on the street... no courses, no permits, no licenses - packing heat. Is this a club we really want to join?

It would be nice... if Bluesky were to abolish the 300-character-limit on postings. Most of my posts tend to be under, but it'd nice to have the headroom, for those spayshul topics.

Fourteen days in; 1,447 to go.

Discussion re Spectrum cable bill. Sep 2015; $43. Jan 2025; $115; 164% increase. Just got my bill for February. Now $118 – another 2.62% higher. Sky's the limit! Whichever Spectrum VPs are taking holidays in Saint-Tropez... they're just gonna have to find someone else to help foot the bar tab.

Monday night.

Let the resistance begin.

'Been enjoying my days, here in Fargo, in a self-imposed near-total news blackout. Cooler temps have been spiritually cleansing. I log into NYT, only to see that Orange is the same narcissistic, inconsiderate, tone-deaf, bigoted, gaping anus he was the last time 'round. 2 days down; 1,459 to go.
