Not a headline from the "The Onion" but should be: Trump decrees all vehicles must now be equipped to "roll coal."

This made me laugh. It was a nice break from all the screaming.

Jonathan and I watched this tonight for the first time in many years. I doubt Donald Trump and Elon Musk have ever seen Citizen Kane.

This truly disturbing and surely illegal. Musk is an unelected private citizen taking over gov depts and sensitive data. Where’s the oversight and outrage?

Kathleen Eaton has painted Chicago and its suburbs for over 30 years--and has been one of my favorite artists for almost as long. I really should get around to buying one of her pieces some day. But you should go check out her work right now. eatonart.com/kathleen-eat...

Recently announced my departure from Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. I just can't with the oligarchs any more.

This is just the start. Prime expires in April, WaPo in September. Neither will be renewed. Future purchases from Amazon will only occur after all other alternatives have been explored.

I haven't used Twitter for years, so leaving it now probably doesn't mean much. But all the same, I'm happy to be here. Hope I find the right people, and vice versa.
