Good morning. Coffee. Hot.
TACO = Trump Always Chickens Out. This is the nickname the big bankers have given Trump on tariffs. TACO.

I read that car manufacturers are considering omitting at least AM radios from their cars. Enshitificastion. I’ll make this simple: no radio, no sale.
“Maybe you’ve seen me on Facebook…”
That was a line from a door to door saleswoman today. She was collage age, shiny and smiling.
Anyway, that was the first time somebody used their presence on social media as part of their in-person sales pitch. It struck me as odd because I’m old.

Good morning. It’s supposed to rain here today, but I have coffee so everything is good.
Trump is a fink!

Good morning. First coffee cannot be beat.
Notice how there is almost no news about Luigi? Partly to make sure publicity does not ruin his trial. But partly because the corporate controlled media is afraid he will become a folk hero.
Directory: 1 submission (yea) and 1 URL from reserves.

Trump is upset because Putin is not doing what Trump wants him to do, just like he gets upset when the judges don’t do what he wants. There is a pattern here.
What Trump doesn’t understand is Putin has his Big Plan for Total World Domination whereas Trump only cares about himself not the USA.
Good morning. Coffee done and I’m having an inner debate with myself over having more coffee or switch to tea. First World problems.
Trump seems to be getting a clue about Putin. Trump’s a real slow learner.

Good morning. New bag of French dark roast coffee. This from Jewel Signature, their house brand. It’s good.
It’s relatively quiet in Washington. Too quiet. Trump is probably on the golf course. Still they are up to no good.

More and more extreme right wing stuff is invading my XTwitter timeline. It can’t be from my subscriptions or likes or retweets. I think: 1. the algo has been adjusted, 2. it’s all that’s left, the more reasoned voices I follow have left and there is nothing left.

Good morning. Coffee done. Starting a different brand tomorrow.
MAGA vs MAHA vs Trump vs DOGE vs GOP vs Cabinet Morlocks vs Big Business all crashing into each other like bumper cars in the Walmart parking lot. Popcorn time.

“Book” is spelled the same in the UK and US.
Everyone is babbling about Biden’s cognitive decline. Even if it was worse than we knew, Biden and his advisors still kept the ship off the rocks, the economy working, the US was respected and things generally working. No DOGE, no chaos, no fear, no protection rackets, no tariffs and no weirdos.

There does come a time when elderly lawmakers should stand aside and let a new generation take their place. The problem is elected Democrats all think they are indispensable.
My usual grocery stores have been out of #2 Melitta coffee filters. Early supply chain problems due to tariffs? I’ll eventually have to order from Amazon, although I’ve been trying to buy locally. It’s a tiny thing, I know, but the pandemic taught me to look for shortages early. Tsk.
Good morning. Coffee done, timelines being scrolled. Tea yet to come.
Happy Texturized Vegetable Protein (TVP) Day to all who are celebrating.

Trump and all his goons remind me of Morlocks from The Time Machine. Especially JD Vance.

Good morning. Stockpiling coffee against the Trump Tariff End Times.
3.5 more years of Trump ahead. He keeps digging himself deeper. Unfortunately he’ll drag us in with him.
On the directory side: 1 submission (yea!) and 1 website from the reserve bucket makes 2 total.
