Former Twitter user, deleted my account the day Elon’s acquisition was final. I retired in 2022 and began living my dream of traveling around the world 🌍. Knowing true freedom for the first time in my life. #Travel #Nature #Photography #Observations

Buddy, my best friend of 18 years, RIP.
Saturday’s birdwatch centered on a Great‑tailed Grackle, tapping at the window as if to taunt, “you can’t catch me.” Its distinctive call echoed across the courtyard, commanding attention and turning the morning into a vivid game of cat and bird.

I was thinking…

As a retired person, I have whittled down my responsibilities to two dates on the calendar (24 days a year): the fourth Wednesday of the month, when my Social Security arrives by direct deposit into my checking account, and the last day of the month,

I watched the MTV launch in 1981, and the channel was on my TV a lot during the ’80s. Michael Jackson, Madonna, Prince, Duran Duran, and Cyndi Lauper helped make music a visual medium. Michael Nesmith’s Elephant Parts was historic.

Happy New Year!

My New Year’s resolution: I want to speak to people in a way that, if they died the next day, I would be satisfied with the last thing I said to them.

Oklahoma is ranked 50th in education, and the state has some of the most lax gun laws in the country. The only question is: is this an example of correlation or causation?

My Buddy’s joy and the gentle spirit of my sister’s Meg remain with us, though their paws no longer walk beside us. They live on in memory, love, and laughter, forever present in our hearts, reminding us that true companionship never fades, only transforms into lasting light.

#Caturday isn’t special, it’s just the usual routine: endless naps, dramatic poses for the camera, and the occasional snack demand delivered with regal authority. Every day is a ‘cat’s day’ when you live like this. 🐾

I saw Snoop Dogg trending on Bluesky and read some of the posts. They were a mix of shock that he wore an all-red outfit and accusations of him being a MAGA sellout. Then I thought, how funny it is that people hold Snoop Dogg to a higher standard than Clarence Thomas, a Supreme Court Justice.

Paquita has been sprawled out all morning like she worked the night shift last night. Tail twitching, eyes at half-mast, she’s clearly recovering from a long night of logistics and leading a team that pulled more than their own weight. She keeps looking at me like she wants to tell me all about it.

Billionaires are rich, & they think being rich makes them smart, or worse, they think it makes them right. In fact, being a billionaire simply means they are good at making money, often by using people as a means to do it. Mark Cuban is no different from any other billionaire, & his post proves it.
No shock. This app has turned my mentions, and others, into mostly hate. But there are a few people worth connecting with

CRAZY how it's easier these days to have a real discussion on X, or threads, than on here.

Stephen Miller targets his own parents, children of immigrants, in his latest round of hate and vitriol. Nick Fuentes and the Groypers will be rounding up Stephen, Katie, and their children in their next wave of hate and vitriol. It’s the new right-wing circle of life.

🎄✨May this Christmas bring light to every shadow, warmth to every heart, and hope to every tomorrow. May kindness guide our steps, and goodwill remind us that even the smallest acts of love can brighten the world. May we recognize that it is often those we take for granted to whom we owe the most.🎅🏻✨

No one I know is spending less this Christmas, most spending more just to match past years’ purchases. For some, holidays mean family or faith; for most, it’s pure consumerism, a cycle of rising costs and relentless buying. No empathy as the wealth transfer continues unabated and billionaires win.

Pacho, the elusive wild cat that followed me home from a walk last year, lingers at the edges of domestication, watchful eyes glowing, keeping his distance, a silent guardian of shadows, reminding us nature chooses closeness on its own terms.

A fitting end to the career of Elise Stefanik: the woman who stabbed Liz Cheney in the back to curry favor with men dangling the perception of power in front of her.

Her trajectory is a cautionary tale, trading principle for proximity, conviction for convenience. In the rush to appease those

Wednesday Wake-Up Call:

Elon Musk is currently worth $648 billion, according to Bloomberg.

To put that in perspective: if Musk spent $1 million every day, it would take him 1,774 years to spend $648 billion. He and his companies receive $8 million every day in government subsidies.

If you focus on nominal dollars, the evidence doesn’t support “weak spending.” If you focus on real growth, the evidence does support a slowdown, which is what some analysts are flagging.

Analysts like Fitch & Morgan Stanley are pointing to this slowdown and calling it “weak.”

Things aren’t good.
The argument that consumer spending is weak doesn't have a lot of evidence to support it. And this is what's driving the economy, not AI.

(note: this is a quick and dirty inflation adjustment, but it's going to look very similar to a more intensive one like PCE)
