To accuse Ukraine, in February 2025, of "gambling with World War Three" strikes me as equivalent to accusing Poland, on September 2, 1939, of "gambling with World War Two."

A "World War" might or might not kick off, but if so, it will be because of Russia's aggression and not Ukraine's "gambling."

I remember when Google's slogan was, "Don't be evil." So, why does "Gulf of America" now appear when I open Google Maps and look south?

If the President wants to shut down USAID and stop it from spending money that Congress has already appropriated, why doesn't he go to Congress???

The GOP has a majority in both House and Senate, so following constitutional processes shouldn't get in the way of the President's goal here. 🤔

If empathy were a sin (as some on the "religious right" are now saying), how would one make amends for it after repenting?

If one commits the sin of stealing, one can make amends by giving back what one stole.

If one commits the sin of empathy, can one make amends by performing selfish acts?

I haven't expressed outrage about my country's halting of entry of refugees or its detention of US citizens in immigration raids, etc., but a tariff of 25% (set to increase to 50%) on imports of coffee beans (from the country that's the source of 20% or our coffee), well, now, I'm speaking up! 1/2

Having someone who put his money and clout behind the new President of the USA and is now trying to do the same for certain politicians in the upcoming Bundestag election in Germany stretch out his right arm with his palm down is not a good sign. Not a good sign at all. When do we start to panic?

In today's episode of "Our Children Are Watching": on a walk, I saw a toddler sitting in a toy car while talking into a toy smart phone. She was holding the toy phone up to her ear with one hand and had her other hand on the toy car's steering wheel.

I think I might be too focused on languages.

I have live sports on TV, and I was looking at my phone during the commercials when I heard the words, "Have fun with Norwegian."

That got my attention! I looked up at the TV and was disappointed to see that it was an ad for the cruiseline. 😢 1/2

It's a "snow day" in the South, and I have no recollection of shutting down my computer when I stepped away momentarily. However, SOMEONE has undeniably held down the "power" button. Seeing as the paw is technically no longer on the button, the evidence as to "whodunnit" is purely circumstantial.

Testing out a new social media platform, since I am not sure what the future will hold over at Meta. So, I guess my opening move will be to share a photo I took.
