My #amazon phone app works normally. Whew!
What in the bezeejus is going on with Amazon today?
My browser was upgraded, so I re-signed into the website... and it's 2007. I can't see any account history since then despite it being the same email login. What is going on???

China builds a magnesium hydride-powered hydrogen bomb AND a thorium-powered nuclear reactor.
Given the #AmericaFirst concept of the 47th President, he must be going crazy.
Tariff war??
How about a WMD war, I'm sure he's thinking.

I opened the slider door to my balcony, and four bugs flew in.
Zap! Zap!
I pulled out the electrified tennis racquet and began zapping the flies!

The new Harvard IOP poll among Americans ages 18-29 paints a bleak picture - but also an opportunity to give young people a vision for a better future. It doesn't have to be this way. iop.harvard.edu/youth-poll/5...

I was today years old when I learned Jesus' followers Matthew, Mark, and John were Jewish.
It makes sense, though I assumed they were gentiles with Luke.

Remember when the craziest episode of our political lives was Sarah Palin, who promptly was humiliated, lost her race, then gradually disappeared from our lives and never ran for anything again?
Good times.

#Starbucks has new compostable cups and lids, and this irks me:
1. My residence doesn't have a compostable pickup program, and I don't want to transport compost to a place; so it will go to the landfill with the plastics.
2. I ordered a Medicine Ball. The lid was new for me, so I burned my lip.

I pressed the newly-replaced Swiffer Wet Jet button, and the nozzles didn't spray.
What the...?
I turned to Google.
Ahh, I need to insert batteries!

I forgot the #Oscars were on tonight. It's an easy mind gap, as I saw only one of the best picture nominees. Wicked, of course.
From the other major categories, I only saw Sing Sing.
I missed the opening bit, but Conan proved once again he's not funny.
This won't be on long.

I'm on the fence about seeing the new #Marvel Brave New World movie in a theater.
#1 because prices are so high these days
#2 because critic reviews are so low
#3 because #2 probably means a quicker release to Disney+
But #4 some friends saw it and liked it, so, hmm

"Everybody loves bacon," said Kevin Bacon in what I thought was a Bradley Cooper ad but was in fact to promote Uber Eats.
Like the Seal as seal ad, these #SuperBowl ads are beginning to exhibit a theme. I'm waiting for Danica Patrick to come out of retirement and promote, well, you know.

I watched that #JurassicParkRebirth trailer... and the entire time I thought to myself, "Where are the dinosaurs? Shouldn't they be the stars? Oh, look, Scarlett! She's in another wannabe blockbuster movie after her Avengers character died in Endgame! But, where are the dinosaurs?"

I put on a jacket with the intent to go outside and brush snow off the car.
That was 30 minutes ago. I've yet to go out, but the jacket is still on.

Awakening with a sore throat and a nagging cough, I realized it was from atmospheric dryness and a general busy day and night yesterday.
I decided to stay in, and mostly play a game. It was a relaxing and mindless day.
I'm now picking up Chinese food and will watch a movie.

I wanted to like #RingsOfPower season 2 to the same degree as my enjoyment of season 1, but it took me weeks to start episode 4, and I'm not even halfway through and it's as boring as the show was in the first three episodes. I liked Galadriel's and Nori's arcs in s1, but they are boring now.

Go ahead and write about, or share pictures with, the guy in the White House.
For me, that's an instant unfollow. I don't need that drama here.
I'm here for other reasons.

Enjoyable season 2 premiere episode of #Severance. It's refreshing to see Mark, Helly, Dylan, and Irv back together.
I wish I could binge the whole series at once. I might do that this summer, buy a month of AppleTV and watch them together.
