I heard chocolate is in short supply and prices are rising fast, joining eggs, coffee, beef.
Grifting and the con should be taught in universities. This is why universities are in trouble, they are not teaching what the public needs to succeed today.
Quick! Quick!
Everything, everybody behind the paywall.
I just learned this. Academy Award winning actor Anne Baxter, was from Michigan City, Indiana. She was also the granddaughter of architect Frank Lloyd Wright.

Hmm. The Reality Distortion Field has kicked in from an unexpected source: NPR. I just heard a NPR news cast about the Trump vs. Zelensky incident. NPR made it sound not nearly as serious as it was. It was an argument, a disagreement and no mention about Trump telling Zelensky to leave. All the rough edges had been polished off. And this from NPR.
I’m seeing a lot of articles saying that Trump and Vance knowingly ambushed Zelensky on purpose to either get him to give in or as an excuse for Trump to back out of any support. What do you think? Is that likely?
I get the same feeling all the time. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tells NPR: ‘Everything feels increasingly like a scam’
You can donate to Ukraine via the Ukrainian government official website.
Zelensky more than held his own against the two of them. He’s been through 3 years of hell, he’s seen the bodies of civilians gunned down by Russians for sport. Trump and Vance are pampered little yippie purse dogs by comparison. I just regret Zelensky had to go through that.
But it’s better he does not sign anything - anything with Trump right now.

This is worth reading.
And who the heck let Vance in the room, and then open his gob and talk?
That treatment of Zelensky by Trump and Vance was disgraceful bullying. But it was important for Zelensky and world leaders, especially in Europe, to see how much Trump is in Putin’s pocket. Important for Americans to see it too. Zelensky held his own. I hope he doesn’t sign.
I’m honoring the Feb. 28 ‘economic blackout’. No fast food, not buying anything from Big Tech, if I have to shop buy from a local mom and pop, etc.
I stopped in at the Post Office and stocked up (2 rolls) of Forever Stamps, before Trump raises postage prices. Because you know he will.
Today is Friday, Frozen Pizza Friday.
Oh hell I’m tired of talking about eggs.
Moment of panic: I deleted a couple of categories on my blog. Looked at the blog and it was blank, no posts. I thought for a minute I had deleted my entire blog. Finally decided to rebuild the blog. Had to find the rebuild thingy. Found. Rebuild. Everything is back. Yea!
I’m hearing a rumor Trump is threatening to invade Afghanistan. Again.
That’s a lot of places to invade during his 4 year term. It’s even harder to occupy and hold such places.
Rumor: Is Trump going to mass import eggs from other countries to save his political ass?
Off shoring breakfast?
If somebody published a good new compact print encyclopedia, about 10 - 12 volumes and about the size of a standard hardcover book, I’d buy a set. Handy for offline. I’ve seen these in my youth but they were never as popular as World Book or Britannica, nor were they anywhere as huge size wise.
I have this instant negative reaction to anything on Medium. To a lesser degree I also have some negativity to Substack. Not sure why on the later.
