"I, myself, have always found that if I examine something it's less scary. We always had this theory that if you kept the snake in your eye line, the snake wasn't going to bite you. That's kind of the way I feel about confronting pain. I want to know where it is." #JoanDideon #TheCenterWillNotHold

Marco Rubio just made the argument, bold faced, not a mistake an intentional statement, that at any time the US can revoke your visa and then you are instantly here illegally and they can arrest you, deport you, torture you, all without any due process.

That means the United States is simply unsafe

Everytime Cisco talks about Thousand Eyes I hear Thousand Island, and I don't understand why they are putting salad dressing on everything they make. I guess it's the secret sauce of their strategy.

The option to delete an Excel file you've just been using as a scratchpad while you have it open in a Microsoft 365 tab on your web browser would be much less annoying than tracking down the file in your directories and cleaning 🧹 it out from there. Is there a way?

Not happy seeing Instagram ditch the squares that was the whole aesthetic 😐

Had to clear space on my phone and put on "Jared from Subway: Catching a Monster" to fill the file transfer time, recently watched "Fallen Idols" about Nick & Aaron Carter too, both provided good context for past headlines but the story angles felt lacking, most of it the insane entitlement of fame.

"'The world is an inkpot, I am the pen and the Devil dips me,' [Frank Marion] Crawford told her [Isabella Stewart Gardner], and this summed up the later, harried, debt-ridden years of his life."

I don't often watch PBA broadcasts but after a day of bowling with my husband's family we happened catch a repeat showing of this year's LBC National Championship Clash where a young and talented Gianna Brandolino won the Duke trophy! What a down to Earth player, we were all cheering her on.

Having a real Kid-Rock-style Christmas in #LeMars and by that I mean, I "haven't seen the sun in three damn days" 😄 #overcast

Nothing like a good #CalebHammer financial audit heading into Christmas 🎁 to sober a person up a bit 🎄😄❄️

Finished watching the #KingOfZanzibar miniseries about Wojtek Zabinski's failed luxury development projects last night. Interesting relationship between Poland and Tanzania.

Watching the #MoneyElectric doc last night, I was frequently reminded of how much younger the leaders of countless other countries are.

Took a day trip to Decorah this weekend for some Xmas shopping 🌲 god jul everyone ❤️

Watched #FlyMeToTheMoon tonight, thought a bit about all the unique history Florida has witnessed.

#TIL a Bluesky Tweet is called a Skeet (sky+tweet) which seems accidentally reminiscent of when beatboxing was all the rage
