And who the heck let Vance in the room, and then open his gob and talk?

Feb 2025

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.

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.

  • Greenland
  • Canada
  • Gaza Strip
  • Mexico (the country not the Gulf)
  • Panama

That’s a lot of places to invade during his 4 year term. It’s even harder to occupy and hold such places.

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.

We’re in Luigi days. Don’t doubt it.

Sounds like Ukraine is going to do a deal with Trump for minerals.

I’m thinking that nobody will mine, refine and ship minerals out of Ukraine if Russia is still bombing and invading Ukraine and that Ukraine is banking on that.

It looks like Dave Winer has cooked up something new called WordLand. I’m not sure I understand it, it’s either a new way to post to Wordpress.com (maybe Wordpress.org), it uses RSS (yea!), and may also be a social network. I’m not clear on any of that, but we’ll see.

According to our local (paywalled) paper a whole bunch of drive-thru only coffee chain stores are going to be opening around here. This when Starbucks has closed the indoor parts of several local stores 4 drive-thru only. I just make my coffee at home.

I had this thought upon waking in the middle of the night: with climate change penguins could be moving their range steadily North until they finally meet up with parrots and then what will happen?

Feb 2025

I’m hoping that reports of Zelensky signing a mineral deal with the US because of coercion are not true. Don’t trust anything Trump says or promises. Trump will just transfer those mineral rights to Russia and his master Putin. Work a mineral deal with the Europeans instead, non-transferable.

I bet Trump walks around with a thick pad of Presidential Pardon Slips to hand out.

I made one of those profile pages you put in your bio at Linktr.ee. It was easy and got the job done. I doubt there is any privacy but I’m long past expecting that. I needed this as my membership in some social networks might shift around suddenly.
