He claims tariffs are a way to "charge" foreign countries.
He's either a complete idiot or a total liar.

"...in 1913, some genius came up with the idea of 'let’s charge the people of our country,' not foreign countries that are ripping off our country..."

This horrible month just gets worse and worse. This young man lived in my neighborhood. I wish now I had stopped and talked to him. My heart goes out to his family and friends.

A touching snapshot of what people are going through here (and a reminder to buy a safe!).

Air purifiers are impossible to find right now, but you can make one pretty easily out of an air filter, a fan, and a cardboard box!

The fires of Los Angeles came to Hollywood earlier this evening. Thankfully, this fire was brought under control pretty quickly thanks to firefighting helicopters. My husband and I (and are cat) are safe for now.

I'm always hoping for a white Christmas here in LA.
I know it's a not very realistic, but here's a scene from 1912 of a block just around the corner from where I live.

CityDig: A Snowstorm in Los Angeles? It’s Happened.
A White Christmas in L.A. is more than possible; a freak snowstorm that passed over Hollywood on Jan. 22, 1921 dusted the gabled rooftops of the Charlie Chaplin Studios and rendered La Brea Blvd. a slushy mess.

Though the world seems to be careening toward chaos this holiday season, at least we still have chestnuts.

After less than two weeks, I now have more followers on @bsky.app than I got on Twitter in almost 15 years. It's not much, but I'm glad to be at least a small part of the migration away from that hellhole.

Good riddance to Matt Gaetz! Now can we take a moment to celebrate this rather than immediately jumping back into the doom loop?!
November 21, 2024 at 6:43 PM
Congratulations Matthew! So, exactly how many Scaramuccis was that? Trump math confuses me.
BREAKING: Gaetz withdraws from consideration for attorney general.

49.9%
The moment I've been waiting for.
Below fifty percent is far from a mandate.
Too bad they're still going to govern as if it is.

Got locked out of my Twitter account because I dared to type the words "Blue Sky" in a comment. What a pathetically petty little worm Elon Musk is.

In times of stress, it's important to remember the healing power of music. Get it where you can!

This is Orbital, provided a respite for a thousand people or so last night in downtown LA.

Is anyone else checking the election results every hour waiting for the moment when Donald drops below 50%?

If you're feeling powerless, consider donating to the ACLU. They fought this administration last time, and they will do it again.

Words from the wisest:
These appointments prove that insisting people achieve and be promoted based on “merit” was never really their real concern.
