Here’s a montage of Trump repeatedly promising to “end inflation” and specifically lower the cost of groceries.

Today, however, Trump told Time magazine that he likely won’t be able to lower prices, saying: “It’s hard to bring things down once they’re up”

Sorry we’re not riding at dawn. We’re having coffee and catastrophizing the day at dawn. Then we’re doing Wordle. Then we’re doing 35 minutes of doomscrolling, then we’re taking the longest hottest shower, then we’re sitting on the edge of the bed staring at nothing for a while, THEN maybe we ride.

Very nearly done with my working career as my January retirement looms. So excited for a new chapter and the absence of needing a morning alarm!

My one constructive criticism on BlueSky, as a community: we need to “like” less and “retweet” more. In the absence of an algorithm, that’s the way we find each other and reward good content.

This moment in Bluesky is a great example of how joy itself can be defiance and resistance.

We are just hanging out, shitposting, being silly, happy, and normal. It is being treated as if it is transgressive, opting out of the endless negativity. Because in a way, it is.

Joy is my favorite weapon.

I know BlueSky is on to something because all the worst people you know are raging against it

She makes a good point

About 4 hours in to listening to The Fourth Turning is Here: What the Seasons of History Tell Us About How and When This Crisis Will End, by Neil Howe. Fascinating and timely. Proud Gen X'er here.

Never liked Twitter/X but giving this platform a go! Looking to avoid the hate, trolling and negativity.
