I don’t get angry when I’m pissed
I’m the eternal optimist
I scream inside to deal with it
Like ahhhhhhhh
LIKE AHHHHHHHHH

We had our Culture Party at school today and it was great as always to see our students from all over show off their great clothes, dance moves, artifacts, food, etc.

I only got emotional a few times!

I'm always bummed when I own a movie (today, When Harry Met Sally) but don't have a DVD player on which to play it and the only streaming options are to rent it for $15?

I restarted Somebody Somewhere instead. Good stuff.

Threw up in the middle of the night. Slept terribly, because the fear of throwing up more got into me (I hate it so much). Feeling okayish and looking forward to a couch/bed day. Gonna see if I can find When Harry Met Sally on streaming

The charging port in my phone stopped working, so I'm scrambling to get a MagSafe charger so I can actually use my phone, because it's small and cute and screw you I don't want a new phone!! You can pry my (dead) iPhone mini 13 from my cold hands!

Bummed about this because it used to be a place I could stop on a run and was close enough to run home with the goods. Laune is great but not open on Sundays?!

I am happy to get ICE alerts by text (that I pretty much can never respond to, as I don’t have even have my phone on me most of the work day) but I wouldn’t mind if it were balanced out with any other person texting me

Reading this with a red pen

Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.
There has never been a President that has worked as hard as me! My hours are the longest, and my results are among the best. I’ve stopped Eight Wars, saving many millions of lives in the process, created the Greatest Economy in the History of our Country, brought Business back into the United States at levels never seen before, rebuilt our Military, created the Largest Tax Cuts and Regulation Cuts, EVER, closed our open and very dangerous Southern Border, when previous Administrations were unable to do so, and created an “aura” around the United States of America that has led every Country in the World to respect us more than ever before. In addition to all of that, I go out of my way to do long, thorough, and very boring Medical Examinations at the Great Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, seen and supervised by top doctors, all of whom have given me PERFECT Marks — Some have even said they have never seen such Strong Results. I do these Tests because I owe it to our Country. In addition to the Medical, I have done something that no other President has done, on three separate occasions, the last one being recently, by taking what is known as a Cognitive Examination, something which few people would be able to do very well, including those working at The New York Times, and I ACED all three of them in front of large numbers of doctors and experts, most of whom I do not know. I have been told that few people have been able to “ace” this Examination and, in fact, most do very poorly, which is why many other Presidents have decided not to take it at all. Despite all of this, the time and work involved, The New York Times, and some others, like to pretend that I am “slowing up,” am maybe not as sharp as I once was, or am in poor physical health, knowing that it is not true, and knowing that I work very hard, probably harder than I have ever worked before. I will know when I am “slowing up,” but it’s not now! After all of the work I have done with Medical Exams, Cognitive Exams, and everything else, I actually believe it’s seditious, perhaps even treasonous, for The New York Times, and others, to consistently do FAKE reports in order to libel and demean “THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.” They are true Enemies of the People, and we should do something about it. They have inaccurately reported on all of my Election Results and, in fact, were forced to apologize on much of what they wrote. The best thing that could happen to this Country would be if The New York Times would cease publication because they are a horrible, biased, and untruthful “source” of information. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

On AI and students: I got a really good paper from a student. As in no, really good, on age verification automation as an accelerant to botnets. So I pull the student aside last night and say you should put it in for the new student journal or the UNC undergrad symposium

Okay. My favorite pair of boots in looks, warmth, and weight (not heavy or clunky!) are actually tearing my heels apart and I can’t anymore. Taking recommendations and doing research

My Apple Music replay is a lot of junk my kid likes (Elena of Avalon soundtrack? Ohhhhhkay) but at least Beyonce, Bad Bunny and Charli xcx made the top 5

In other music news the last 20 seconds of “Reliquia” from Rosalia is my favorite music moment of the year
