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
Mastodon.social is throwing off errors.
Tsunami warnings in Japan. Flooding in NZ. Trump in Washington. Vance going to Pakistan. Disasters.
Trump talking up UFO Files = distraction from Epstein Files and Trump’s Iran War fiasco.
Confession: I never liked Tang. IYKYK.
Good morning.
Frost warning last night and sure enough this morning there is frost on the roofs of the houses. I’m not sure if it has reached the ground.
PSA: Doomscrolling trying to follow King Donald’s madness causes dain bramage.
Still no Epstein Files.

Good morning.
Headlines: I can’t tell if Strait of Hormuz is open of closed. Different story hourly. US scientists are turning up dead or disappearing, FBI starting investigation. Lots of dodgy insider type trades have been happening right before Trump WH announcements. No investigation.
Good morning.
Headlines: Tomato prices going way up. Beef prices up. Eggs down. In general grocery prices are up. Gas up. I keep hearing “supply chain” problems but that excuse has been used since the pandemic years ago now and isn’t getting fixed. Billionaires make money, while we pay the price
From @ayjay :
When I look at the choices offered to Americans by their two chief political parties, I always remember a line from Woody Allen’s “My Speech to the Graduates”: “One path leads to despair and utter hopelessness. The other, to total extinction. Let us pray we have the wisdom to choose correctly.”
Word.
Free Luigi.
I’m looking at renderings of the Trumpal Arch. It looks like something tourists can throw eggs at. Lots of eggs, daily, for decades.
Good morning.
Checking for updates…
Someday, if you buy an AI robot vacuum cleaner, it will hunt you, follow you around the house, playing advertisements to you. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Good morning.
I’ve sold off my (debatable) meat-brain intelligence, and changing my name to BradAI. My stock price should soar any second now. Trust me.
Good morning.
Contrary to popular belief, many many doctors dress like Jesus.
Also, JD Vance lectures Ihe Pope on scripture.
Notice Trump is hiding after pissing off Christians in general and Roman Catholics in particular. Trump really should just shut up.
No Epstein Files.
It’s Official: The hot air from one US Senator can power 400 homes.
Me: Might be higher for GOP Senators. Lower for Dems like Schumer.
There is going to be a major electric grid slap-fight between the public trying to charge their EV’s and Tech Bros powering their massive AI data centers. Somehow, the public will end up paying for both with higher electric bills.
