Every year, after I pull out the must-have favorites, I try to choose one ornament that usually doesn’t make the cut and put it in the game.
This year it’s the pink ball at the bottom left, which must be 60+ years old.
Happy Christmas old boy. You still shine!

Recently a co-worker told me that another co-worker is afraid of me.
When I 🙁’d she smiled and said “you’re fierce! I like it”
🤷🏼 Apparently I’m running out of fucks. But then, we all are.

I know being a good coach is a skill not many have.
But there are teachers devoting their lives in obscurity to teaching, reaching and turning around troubled kids, making $50k/yr and the guy who just left Ole Miss is getting $100 MILLION to coach.
He’s NOT worth more to the world than they are.

Had a customer who was wearing (I was later told- I wouldn’t know 😁) a $600 Gucci belt and carrying a $1500 handbag. Her dress was designer too, I assume.
She didn’t round up.

Covering just 0.4% of the Sahara Desert in solar panels would power the entire planet.
It would cost $4tn.
We currently spend $15tn a year on energy.
It would pay for itself in just over 3 months.

A caterpillar is, after all, just a stripey tube that eats with one end and poops with the other.
Brains are not part of the package.
But with all the sticks and cardboard I put in the container to attach to, this one picked the yogurt tub I put the milkweed leaves in.
I almost threw him out!

I just don’t get the commercial where the lady with the odd accent is talking to us FROM HER CAR about mortgage fraud.
It’s obviously a professional ad
Why is the weird lady in her car?
Dunno why it bugs me but I zoom it every time it comes on.

We're back in session today, so here's everything Republicans hoped you'd forget over recess:
-They voted to RAISE your energy bills
-They slashed essential programs to hand out tax breaks to billionaires
-Trump is in the Epstein files
Oh & tariffs are why prices are soaring...

Today the last of them hung themselves up to form their chrysalis. Whew!
Soon the great hatching will occur.

Busy Sunday bagging groceries. A little girl thinks I’m amazing because she was bored and I put a paper wine sleeve on my arm and suggested she draw a face on it and make a puppet.

Also, if I had $1 for every alcohol purchase I’ve approved, I’d be making a living wage!

August Trump: it’s MINE! After I get to losers and sucker to pay a BILLION BUCKS to fix it, I’m taking it with me!

Biden’s memory slowed and he made more verbal stumbles.
He didn’t BABBLE ON ABOUT SH*T THAT NEVER HAPPENED!
Or fall asleep in front of other world leaders
Or say he would bring the price of eggs down 1500%!
But other than the glaringly false equivalence… yeah. 😒
Right on, The Hill.

The more Trump rages, the more we have to stay on the Epstein story. It's his own damn fault: for being a pedophile, but also for being so all-over-the place in messaging.
Bondi is now releasing GJ transcripts. So? Nobody asked for that! We want the LIST from the FILE she said was on her desk.

Foot-shooting part 6: Nothing says "Trump wants to *STOP* human trafficking- he would NEVER be involved in it" like cutting 2/3 of the office that combats human trafficking. 🤷♂️
Maybe they don't consider those who are not rich white Repubs to BE humans, so they don't care about trafficking them.

What are the chances that the WSJ would not carefully vet such an explosive letter?
ZERO.
They'd have verified & covered their ass 6 ways from Sunday.
But Trump is outraged that they didn't drop it when his spokesliar (who also says his bruises are from shaking hands) told them it was a fake.
