Everything is initials now. Things, medical conditions, disorders that used to have a one word name now have 3 - 4 initials which allegedly stand for words, meaning that everything now has three words to name it instead on one word now referred to by jargon alphabet soup initials. /grump
So one of my local grocery stores is almost totally out of house brand facial tissues. I liked them because they were made in USA at a good price. All they have is Kleenex and Puffs. Could be just a glitch or is it weird Trump supply chain shortages. We shall see.
What are people on social media injecting into their lips?
Good morning. Hot coffee is still good even when the outdoor temp is in the 80’s F. in the dark of the night.
The problems are not just Trump, and MAGA’s. It’s also billionaires, Big Tech, Big Corps, Big Banks, Congress, AI, civics failures, healthcare and hostile propaganda to name just a few.

Good Morning. Coffee done, tea started.
Looked at headlines. Having Trump as president feels like being a passenger in a car on a two lane road driven by someone who is very drunk who half the time is about to hit somebody head on or over correcting and about to go into a deep ditch. Scary.

Matt Stoller asks, why is Google still in one piece? It seems like spineless waffling has set in and nobody has the guts to force a breakup of Google. Both the search and ad portions of Google should be broken up: Chrome, Android, search, ads, payola for search, they all should be broken up. Now.
Good morning. Nothing better than that first cup of coffee in the morning.
Musk ruined XTwitter, only Morlocks like it now. DOGE, Tesla, space company, boring company all in trouble or going nowhere fast. He’s self destructing.

Good morning. Coffee.
ICE is running out of money to operate. The no free lunch rule still holds. Reports are Trump has fled the G7 conference back to Wash DC. I’m not clear why.
Israel and Iran continue to bomb each other. I hope the US stays out of it.
