So, got macOS Sequoia up an running again, ferociously obliterating every trace of Tahoe, had some incompatible library problems with Mail (83,000 messages) and Photos (16,000) and iCloud syncing, but digging in the deep dark bowels of the macOS file system remedied that as well. Very rewarding.
After some weeks of use, I’m sooooo put off by the latest versions of macOS, iOS and watchOS that I’m preparing to downgrade them all to the previous version. Steve Jobs would have fired everyone involved in this monstrosity.

The only “peace plan” that makes sense is the one from Sanna Marin, Finland’s former Prime Minister:
“The way out of the conflict is for Russia to leave Ukraine. That is the way out of the conflict.”

You have to wonder if elected Republicans ever get tired of Trump constantly threatening them every single time they don’t do exactly what he wants them to do.

I hear there is a Nuremberg in Pennsylvania.
There had better be trials. And not just for the low-level thugs carrying out these orders, but for everyone up the chain of command.
If we get past this, the solution isn’t to pretend it never happened and invite Stephen Miller to Harvard’s Institute of Politics.
It’s trials w real punishments.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

I grew up in that triangle that you see above ‘Trajectus ?’ which should be Trajectus Mosam (after the river Mosa), the current Maastricht. Atuatuca is the current Tongeren.

HAPPENING NOW: Judge McConnell is sharply rebuking the Trump administration for what he said was defying his order to make full SNAP payments by Nov. 5. He has ordered USDA to make the *full* payment to states by tomorrow.
