As a longtime Mavs fan this still hurts. And will for a long time. I will continue to wear my Doncic jersey to every game I attend. That "trade" should never have happened.

At 30 I pivoted from sales to go to college for computer programming. A year in, in 2002, I was hired as a programmer and never finished my degree. At 54 in Oct '23 I finished my BS degree at Colorado State University - Global.
I've now completed the requirements for my master's program at 57.

We wanted to give something to those who might not have a lot, especially with SNAP not being funded. So, in addition to candy, we added other food items for Halloween. Microwavable Mac-n-cheese and Chef Boyardee cups and other foods. It's not much, but almost all of it was gone when done.

Thank you so much, Norma Jeen! Here's to marching tomorrow (in Dallas) and showing them what the true power of the people means.

When you work from home and Bubba, our def cat decides the desk is also his bed, and Penny, recovering from tweaking her back snores on the couch, working becomes a pleasure.

It's no longer a matter of IF the shit hits the fan, but WHEN.
I never thought I'd see an American administration use the Nazi playbook to institute an authoritarian regime, but here we are.
I really hope we make it to the midterms, but I have my doubts. I hope I'm wrong. I really do.

Not only has CBS/Paramount bent over in front of Trump and surrendered so this merger can be "approved," now they will be complicit in further destroying what little free press we have. This is from the NY Time newsletter emailed to me daily.

It's simply amazing how well Trump's left ear healed. Why it's almost like a bullet had never touched that ear.
Huh.

I wonder if this includes immigrants who are non-white, or does this mean just white South Africans only?
I'm not going to judge him as I'm instructed not to judge.
However, I hope Scott Walker also understand Matthew 25:31-46. Otherwise, it may be a very hot time in the afterlife for him.

From one of the WSJ newsletters I get in the morning. This is old Soviet Union and Nazi Germany crap. Get the people used to doing things like this and then pivot to asking people to snitch on others for more nefarious purposes...Further down the fascist path we go. Resistance is mandatory.

The level of stupidity over there is getting worse.
I thought maybe this was a satirical post.
Then I started reading the comments. No, it's real. The stupid is very real.

Another indicator of Trump crashing the economy. The drop under Bush is bad, but Trump "is on another planet altogether" according to CNN. It is the S&P's largest drop since it was formed in the 1950s.
I voted for Kamala. The one who wouldn't crash the economy.
I didn't vote for this crap.
Resist.

I feel like it's New Year's Eve and I'm watching the countdown to midnight...except the clock is the ticker counting up to -2k...and America is imploding.

For all those MAGA people now expressing regret over your choice on who to vote for...
We WARNED you but you wouldn't fucking listen.
Now deal with it just like all of us are. Maybe next time you'll choose NOT to vote for a dictator wannabe.
I'm sorry, but I have no sympathy for these people.

I can't WAIT for this to go live on the news channels. This should be good, and I can't wait to hear what excuses the Republicans use now.

The Atlantic released the full text of the Signal thread (except for the CIA agent, at the CIA's request) since Trump says nothing classified is in there...The administration can deny this, but this info should have NEVER, EVER, been discussed outside a SCIF. Paywall removed link. archive.ph/2DWb8

All it takes is a single, brave person standing up to tyranny that sparks the start of the fight against tyranny...that eventually stops that tyranny. I will hang this picture in my office as a reminder that a single person can and does make a difference.

When you wife finds a 110 year old hand made piece for your home office for $100 you consider yourself fortunate to have married someone who cares so much and finds those hidden bargains. (Oh, the blanket in the recliner is hiding our 88 pound, spoiled Staffy, who’s cold this morning.

Continuing my intro to Bluesky, two of our adopted fur kids. We also have two adopted orange tabbies: a male, Bubba, who's deaf, and a female, Lulu, the oldest of all four.
Tucker is the black and white Pitbull/American Bulldog mix. Penny is the brindle American Staffordshire Terrier.
