Anything interesting happen today? I mean yesterday Pres. Musk gave a vigorous Hitler salute, twice, the old new old new guy wouldn’t touch a bible, then got a stern talking to from the bishop, which he didn’t find very “exciting”, and then thanked everyone but his wife, Carmen San Diego Hamburgler.

Watching 22 kids play a game they love in a warm place, reading about the foreign guy who bought a president who doesn’t like foreigners who’s now pushing back on his leash holder via hate-fueled surrogates, & hearing Bangles’ Hazy Shade of Winter is a nice way to spend a cold wet December day.

What’s up? I’m new here, but I’m not new. I’ve heard you can have a Twitter-like experience without the Russo/Nazi/Maga troll bots. We’ll see. I mostly want to talk about rational ideas, writing, marketing, psychology, English setters, the outdoors, and cool Pleistocene megafauna.
