Storms last night. Comcast Internet is down. I have power but next street over is without power. I’m on Emergency Bridge using my 4G iPad which I’ve not touched in a year. Shields holding. iPad seems to work. Life support working.
I feel so sorry for King Charles III of the UK having to endure a state visit to the US with Trump.
Well the scheduled call back from AT&T never happened.
Hear me out: If Trump eventually flees the US into exile what countries would have him?
Me, I think either Argentina or Russia. He’s pretty much burned his bridges everywhere else.
Wind driven rain. Lights flickering and a micro outage long enough that the wifi router had to reset. If the power fails I’ll have to dig out the Kindle for backlit reading in the dark.
Hell is calling AT&T for service to an old fashioned, hard wired, landline. The robots answering my call seem totally confused by the concept. I ask to talk to a human and get another robot setting up a time for human to call me back Real Soon Now. We will see.
It ain’t Ma Bell anymore.
Over a hundred “journalists” at the WH corespondents dinner when things went down and it seems like only 3 actually took short videos while things were happening. I keep seeing the same 3 video clips. Breathless interviews after the event don’t count.
Good morning.
Trump wants a luxury bunker under his big-ass ballroom. My prediction is, if it gets built, Trump will spend all his time bunkered up there in fear, leaving only to play golf and occasional Oval Office photo ops.
I’ll say it: KIA car company’s old oval logo was better than it’s new logo which is hard to read and ugly.
I just early voted. It’s a primary and many offices had only one candidate choice or no choice, but I figured we either use our right to vote or risk losing it.
RFK, Jr. thinks gravity should be an individual choice.

Seen elsewhere: Notice how Trump loves to get even with NATO and Ukraine when they don’t do what he wants, but he never threatens or goes after Russia. Why?
I hate to say this but there are only a small handful of politicians that I think could be trusted to start rebuilding the US after Trump, and half of them are out of office.
Good morning.
So what have we learned? Trump bluffed and Iran called his bluff. Iran proved to be a lot tougher than Trump thought. Now we are in a worse position than before with no good way out in sight.
I say “we” learned, Trump, the idiot, has not learned much.
Got groceries, lots of canned goods cos they keep. I’m calling this Tin Can Thursday.
Gas is high so I’m being conservative on driving, combining errands and that sort of thing. I can afford the gas, just a matter of why enrich the oil companies?
Good morning.
Thankfully we still have coffee. Civilization hangs by a thread.
In the name of minimalism and character limits, I think we should ban vowels, just erase them from the alphabet.
Trump Math is an abstract, even surreal, form of math intended to obfuscate and bedazzle rather than produce a truthful, verifiable answer. Sorta like a billionaires or mega corporation’s tax returns.
Like New Math intended to screw up a whole generation. IYKYK
Good morning.
I paid some more taxes this morning so I’m smiling and pretending to be cheerful and polite today.
Meanwhile, still no Epstein Files.
Also news reports say we are almost out of missiles cos we used them in Iran. It’ll take years to rebuild stockpiles. Pay up.
PSA: Corduroy is not making a comeback, what with corduroy’s being an endangered species and all.
Good morning.
Headlines: Shoving aside news of Trump, Pope, Wars, greed, graft, is the news that Tim Cook is stepping aside as CEO of Apple. Everyone has an opinion or comment. Apple fandom is huge.
Me: I miss Steve Jobs.
And so now Bsky is screwed up.
Trump = Florida Man
