Trump’s gold bling in the WH reminded me of a clip I posted 5 years ago of Charlie Sheen in the UK telling a story of the time Trump gave him a wedding gift.

@jimmykimmel.com Dude. When I read the NYT headline I was heartbroken. I can't believe this is happening. As frustrating as that is-that was just one platform- you are the voice of the People. They can't silence you. I look forward to seeing you again. Take good care. It ain't over.

Book43of'25: @scalzi.com Man, this book was a wild ride. Had to think, keep up with the plot line,but I loved it. And Thank you for putting the Navajo Nation in your book. When I came across that, I shrieked with delight! Thank you, it makes us less invisible. Now headed towards Head On 😊📚💙

Book42of'25: Novel was pretty good, ending was horrible. Nothing gets resolved, nobody changes, nothing is lost, it was a cyclical ending. It left more questions than answers, which I hate with novels. Overall, an okay book. Message? Stop running, stop being afraid.

Book38of'25: So far one of the best books I've read this year. Makes you think about what we unknowingly sacrifice/give to apps, our phone, Google, Alexa, Siri,& countless others. Is it courage,will, or hope to give these up? And can we ever? Not likely, hence The Dream Hotel. 💙📚

Book37of'25: I love Jesse S. This book is CRAZY! It's about what social media does to people, friendships &family,esp if one is an influencer, living 4 the likes, the posts, &being "authentic". I don't think anyone is authentic on social media; we all have mess&drama. Who wants to see that? 💙📚

Book36of'25: Good book. Book examines one's role as a member of Native American Tribe, being half white. It's a book that tries to break away from Native tropes as we look at the extinction of language & cultural practices. Who are we without these? 💙📚

Book34of'25: Props to Greer, a former English teacher, now a writer. I applaude that. The book? Eeeh...the idea is maybe overdone; a sentient sex-bot comes to terms with her purpose, existence. I think "Doug" needed more character development to justify the end. Overall, makes you think. 💙📚

Book33of'25: Theoretical Physics. Love this book. Can't say what it's about without giving away the whole story, but imagine fixing your timeline, fixing all your mistakes, meeting the people you've lost. A do-over. Ethical? Against nature? When do we say enough with technological advances? 💙📚

Books28-32of'25: Finished all 5 books by E.Strout. What a journey. Strout's work is subtle, simple, & by that alone packs a punch. I enjoyed all 5 books & will read her other books. Overall gist? Love, once again, is all that matters in this life & in this world. 💙📚

Book26of'25: My respect to Sherri Chrichton for getting her husband's manuscript written by James Patterson & published. Had to be a difficult undertaking, but it made for a good book. Makes me wonder what ways we can destroy ourselves. Nature always wins though.

Booker: "We have a president who did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, & then when those people who viciously beat police & led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted, he pardoned them. So for him to be talking about responsive law enforcement is hypocritical at best"
