Another reason to be disappointed in America’s past. Neil Armstrong’s spacesuit wasn’t very flattering.

We got new laundry machines in the building and you can use them with an app on your phone, and my mom got so confused. I recently went on Facebook and asked everyone if I’m going to turn into my mother if I don’t learn something about ChatGPT. I’ve never used it. I think they said yes.

Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start the Fire” a list of everything that I idolized that eventually became a total mess: Woody Allen, OJ Simpson, J.K. Rowling, Michael Jackson, Bill Cosby, Breyer’s Ice Cream (they have to label it frozen dairy treat), Mel Gibson, Roseanne Barr, the Internet, the USA.

Don’t want to fall into the conspiracy trap, but the more you read about Peter Thiel, Elon Musk, and all these right wing fascist billionaires, what’s going on seems clearer. There’s a much more of an organized plan of destruction than Trump’s last presidency.

America, 2027. No jobs. No reputation. Measles killing thousands.
All 435 seats in the House of Representatives and 33 Senate seats will be up for grabs in 2026. It is essential that everyone, including Republicans who care about America, vote against MAGA.

Reporting to social media that I’m going to take a nap for a half hour, and then, when I wake up, I’m not going to think about the depressing state of this country for 24 hours and do something else.

It’s a weird when the Republicans are now basically agreeing with what far left groups with financial ties to Russia and China have been saying for years - that Ukraine and NATO are really the bad guys in opposing Putin. You should set up a dating site so you can meet each other over drinks.

My mother and I collaborating on a photo a half hour after we heard an anti-vaxxer was the new health secretary. She has the flu but agreed anyway. She remembers life before vaccines, and thinks this is crazy.

I know in the scheme of things it’s not very important, but trying to follow friends on ten different platforms gets depressing.

I’ve never seen so many strangers in New York talking with each other since the blizzard of ‘96!

I know people who voted for Trump because they don’t like Democrats. I know they aren’t cruel people, and I hope they will speak out to remind the administration that dehumanization of others is unacceptable. You don’t have to suck up to everything. Democrats never do that when their choice wins.

Maybe also never used alt/text because I’m such a small entity, I would have no idea if anyone in my circle needed it unless they told me.

Using alt-text for the first time, at someone’s suggestion. I never use it on Instagram because it takes away from the character limit.

Doing the dishes. Doesn’t make as much sense without the text on Instagram, but maybe it’s time to let images speak in their own.

This made me laugh. But I think the best retort is to agree with it, and mock every woman who voted for Trump if we catch their husbands doing any of the shopping or cleaning.

Saw this dumb clip online from Fox where the host was mocking Doug Emhoff for grocery shopping with Kamala Harris. “What kind of man goes grocery shopping with his wife?”

For the first time that I remember, I had to turn off all “breaking news” alerts I get on the phone from the New York Times, and I’m a bit upset at myself for feeling so “weak.” But it’s no way to live.
