This Winnie-the-Pooh poem actually describes Colorado's weather this week very well:
--Monday, the sun was not hot, but warm;
--Tuesday, ZOMG hail, snow, and thunder;
--Wednesday, blue sky;
--Thursday, it will indeed start to freeze. 🥶

I just made a donation to Sharon Clark of Cat Posse, which was damaged during the LA fires. I used GoFundMe through PayPal.

But look at this screenshot: no shortcut on BlueSky for PayPal! ☹️
They need to add a shortcut for BlueSky users as well.

This!!!! ⬇️ Purchasing is part of my job and I thought it would be hard to lose Amazon. It’s not!!! It’s easier.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
It's like awakening from sleepwalking to realize how easy it is to buy things without using Amazon. I just got an ergonomic keyboard for my Mac for $20 less than Amazon by buying it directly from the manufacturer.
Plus, free shipping. Just sayin'!

I was told that Dems Could Have Just Messaged Better.
But it turns out that the average US voter is so well-insulated from the realities of politics that not even *Trump's own words* could penetrate their ignorance.

AOC: I don’t care what Elon Musk is doing behind the presidential seal, but in this country we hate Nazis. Kind of like a foundational defining thing. Two of the foundational things about American history is that we beat the confederates and we beat the Nazis.

The MAHA agenda isn’t about actual health, it’s about perceived moral purity. They don’t get sick because they’re better than you, and their wellness is a reflection of them living a Morally Correct life. Anything that contradicts that needs to go.
Right wing extremists are trying to block access to PrEP, which all but eliminates HIV risk.
It’s part of their Make America Sick Again agenda.
PrEP can end HIV infections globally. These zealots don’t want that. They want to go back to the 1950s. They want people to get HIV as punishment for sin.

Do me a favor—share this quick explainer by @reeciecolbert.bsky.social with folks ‘confused’ about the LAFD budget cut and its impact on the fires.
Spoiler: the “budget cut” was covered by an overrun. Translation? The department didn’t run out of money—they spent far more than originally approved.

Marc Elias' Substack is back online after being unfairly taken off! 🎆🎉
Probably as a result of one person having a snit and taking it out on Marc. When I was a kid, I heard "one person can make a big difference" a lot from my parents and teachers, I don't think that ⬆️ is what they meant.

We say that money is the root of all evil. Or we step back, think, and clarify that it's the love of money that's the root of all evil.
But I actually think there are two roots of evil more powerful than money or the love of money: 1/

Cortland Apartments calls up to tens of thousands of Denverites tenants. You can also call it one of the worst apartment management firms in the metro area.

I need a new phone case, so I used this gift card I got as a thank-you to purchase it.
I hardly ever use my Amazon account, and I canceled Prime years ago. So it should be easy for me to withhold support from Jeff Bezos by not using Amazon.
