Good morning. Nothing like the aroma when opening a sealed bag of coffee. It’s so good that sniffing coffee is probably illegal.

Trump is a fink.

Yesterday, I started getting SMS texts asking for money for specific Democrat politicians. Like one per hour.

First, I don’t trust that these are legit. Second, Dems need to show some backbone and fight before I donate. Third, bombarding me w/ texts all of a sudden does not earn trust.

Happy Frozen Pizza Friday to those that celebrate.

I am more the inspirational type of speller. I work on hunches rather than mere facts, and the result is sometimes open to criticism by purists.

Good morning. Coffee done, waiting for breakfast.

Scanning the headlines, so much is political trivia and fluff: who said what, so and so’s scathing reply to Trump, etc. This is all just posturing and a distraction from the real issues. It’s slight-of-hand to cover up the important stuff.

Good morning. Coffee almost gone. I need to figure out breakfast.

It looks like it will be hot today, with afternoon thunder storms maybe.

Democratic Party Establishment is panicked by NYC primary win by a Democratic Socialist. Good keep them scared.

If you are on Bluesky I recommend Radio Free America as a feed for news.

I’m hoping that tarpits designed to poison AI models become common and easy to implement with every hosting company for every domain, because asking nicely is not going to work.

A dying culture invariably exhibits personal rudeness. Bad manners. Lack of consideration for others in minor matters. A loss of politeness, of gentle manners, is more significant than is a riot.

Good morning. Drinking coffee. Today will be a bit cooler than the last few.

I read milk is better for hydration than plain water. If you look at old B/W dugout photos of athletes, long before sports drinks, you will see them drinking milk. They knew it way back when.

Good morning. Still drinking Aldi French roast coffee.

Trump wants to sell off Federal lands for no good reason. I suggest we sell Florida. It’s only a foot above sea level and full of snakes, gators, Republicans and bugs.

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. Enjoy coffee, I am.

It’s easy to start a war. It’s darn hard to end one and get out.

The Midwest is under a Heat Dome. That got mentioned several times over the last week. Said Heat Dome is due to move on to the East and New York after Monday. That got mentioned like 5 times in just one news story. If it effects the coasts it’s Big News and a big story.
