Good morning. You can’t beat morning coffee.
Trump feels he has to look tough. Somehow it just makes him look weaker.

I really hate it when links to articles shared online lead to paywalls and register walls. Don’t share the link if it’s walled or at least warn me.
Good morning. Coffee. I may do drive thru McDonald’s for breakfast.
Scanning the news headlines and timelines. Our society spends an awful lot of time talking about trivial stuff happening among the elites, who said what, how they feel, and very little on matters of substance.
Today I learned that biologically humans are more closely related to fungi than we are to bacteria. Fungi. This explains so much.
I’m thinking the Trump Musk slap fight is a cautionary tale about brain eating amoebas.
EVERYBODY POST IN ALL CAPS.

If they just made billionaires and mega corporations pay their fair share of taxes it would help. Nobody seems to be talking about that.
Good morning. Coffee and breakfast are over. Switched over to tea.
Shaping up to a slow day, except for the sounds of hissing, scratching, slapping and hair pulling coming out of Washington as everybody piles on. So much love.
The whole GOP, MAGA, Trump, MAHA, MUSK coalition are turning on each other and it’s fun to watch. It’s all flying apart.
Trump has added Gilligan’s Island to his travel ban.

I thought of a use for AI: I want my AI to call customer service (ie. Comcast) and talk to their chat bot AI thingy and those two can go round and round not accomplishing a damn thing but at least I’m out of it.
Good morning. Coffee = happiness. Inner debate about what to have for 1st breakfast.
Directory side: 3 commercial scum spam submissions: something in an Asian lang., drugs and a pet store. I think my blabbing about the directory got me on the spam radar so no more directory updates here.
This was pointed out elsewhere: Notice how ICE is not raiding Tyson Foods, mega-corp meat packing industries, Mar a Largo, other swanky hotels and resorts where the rich and famous stay? Instead they seem to be focusing on the employees of mom and pop businesses that are too small to fight back.
Trump is keeping a low profile. 1. He might be recharging his batteries, because after all he’s an old old man, or 2. Ukraine strikes showing Russia up, Elon turning on him, Putin not playing ball, lots of things not going right are causing him to hide.

New to me on XTwitter: Tried to retweet something and got a message I’d reached my daily limit unless I gave them my phone number. Pound sand XTwitter. Pound sand. Ain’t gonna happen.
Good morning. Coffee. Hot. Black. It’s supposed to rain most of the day.
I really wanted tacos for supper last night. But fears of road construction and some massive detour kept me from it. Every road seems under construction.
Directory: 2 spam submissions rejected/banned. 2 added from reserves
If you are a law enforcement officer, local, state, federal, wear a proper uniform. Citizens should be able to clearly determine what agency you are from. If you are wearing a hodgepodge of camouflage, no insignia, badges, ID, carrying weapons you should be treated like “Green Men” invaders.

Good morning. Coffee done, next up, 1st Breakfast.
Trump’s new FEMA head didn’t know there was a Florida hurricane season. You can’t make this shit up.

If you are a law enforcement officer and wear a mask, you should not be a law enforcement officer.
