If you still don't think that the Republican party is getting more and more racist and radicalized, you need to take a long and hard look at yourself and your morals. These young people, the future of the party, show their real faces when no one else is watching.

Dollar is weak. This means your international travels from the US will cost you more. A weak dollar in a different world would have meant more tourists would visit US, but Trump has even kept them away. An all around loss for the country.

#DOGE is nothing more nor less than the billionaires club trying to privatize the govt and to steal and transfer trillions of dollars of American wealth into their own pockets by affecting a hostile takeover of the American way of life.

Venezuela-fication of a country:
Step 1: Pick up fights with friends and isolate the country
Step 2: Fill up the bureaucracy and the judiciary with loyalists
Step 3: Watch the economy tank as those in power concentrate all the wealth of the nation in their own bank accounts.

For the life of me I can't understand (1) why would Dillon Brooks foul even leading by 2, and (2) why would rockets try for a 3 point when a much safer 2 would have won the game for us?

Why the f*ck, after excoriating the Democrats so much for "increasing" national debt, does Trump want the Congress to eliminate the debt ceiling?

This was the national media - all unabashed #GoldenStates fans. No mention of the #Rockets' stifling defense in the last 3 minutes making them deserving of the win. #SteveKerr whining about the officials when they have been the major beneficiaries of referees' decisions forever.

Started #Hum by #helenphillips yesterday. 30% of the way in. A dystopic view of life in the near future that could very well become a very disappointing reality: the middle-class is destroyed, everything is tracked, you can't escape the ads, and kids are even more addicted to screens.

Don't judge me but these are a few of the hundreds of books on my Google Play Book's #TBR shelf. Some of them I'll start and then drop if I don't like them, some I'll read to the end. Some I'll alternate with audiobooks on my libby app that I'll check out from the library.

Finished #VeraWongsUnsolicitedAdviceForMurderers. Funny and touching. She's no Sherlock but she did solve the mystery - a bit out of left field though. *Suspects* too helpless; more annoying than funny. But, finally found their hidden potentials and saved themselves from my wrath. ⭐⭐⭐½

Started on a new journey yesterday. I have done #IntermittentFasting for the last several years but in a very unstructured way. I do the 16-8 pattern but there's usually a lot of leakage (😏) - basically snacking outside the permitted hours. I've decided on an 18-6 pattern, to be followed seriously.

Driving Medicare towards preventive medicine actually seems like a good idea. Reduce the need for expensive surgeries by taking care of the issue before they become too serious. We'll have to see, however, if/how this good idea is corrupted by the lobbyists in the pay of insurance industry.

70% read in The Mercy of Gods by James S. a. Corey. Astounding world building. I believe this book is the first part of a new series. I do hope, however, that it is limited to two or three books, not seven or eight like The Expanse series.
