I do stuff. Have a kinda big deal job. Use $ from job to buy Legos…and video games. A lot goes to vet bills, too. And shoes. Also have a family, who is not really into Lego. Live in a blue state and appreciate the taxes and crappy weather.
Did they return Liam’s hat and backpack? He was reported as asking about those. It matters to me that he got them back. He’s a child and the few things he has are his world.

I’m not much for religion but if I were, if a line of clergy flew in to freezing weather to line up and oppose me while singing songs of faith, I might be thinking “are we the baddies?”

So the Masters of the Universe trailer is completely not awful. I’m definitely not sure what reality I’m in anymore.

When I was a child, I confused the Yukon with Ukraine and didn’t understand why my church was sending care packages to Canadian orphans. But I was about 8 years old, and once corrected, I never confused them again. Not once, let alone FOUR TIMES ON THE WORLD STAGE.

I know it’s frivolous, but one of the things I really resent about this world now is that I can’t listen to Super Bass without making some “separate the art and artist” justification. That song was just plain fun. And now it’s sad.

I think back to the Cold War and how my generation of kids were so scared of the USSR and nuclear war. It makes me sick to think that kids in Greenland are now asking their parents what would happen if America invades. Greenlanders— we don’t want this. I’m so sorry.
Greenland official says people are "very worried" about Trump's calls to take over the island, calling it “unfathomable.”
Denmark provided US support on intercepting oil tanker, Danish official says
A Danish government official says Denmark provided the U.S. with support seizing an oil tanker violating sanctions amid the dispute over Greenland.

Having served in multiple countries run by ruthless dictators, I am accustomed to their tactics for keeping their populations under control. One of them is to employ a legion of fake opposition figures who promote the false narrative that "all parties are the same, so why bother voting?"

I watched Mamdani’s speech. A crowd representing a cross section of humanity. No bulletproof shield. In NYC. You’d think that maybe there’s something to be said about the stabilizing power of respectful diversity and humility.

Not that it should rise to the level of important news, but I’ve completed all 32 hours of my certification maintenance requirement three days early. Some of the CM experiences were actually useful, too. Go figure.

Walked in on my husband watching 2 Fast 2 Furious and walked out after commenting on the lack of realism when Paul Walker’s charges failed to include anything about unauthorized operation of a moveable bridge over a navigable water. Dude. WTF?

If this life were a movie, a certain someone would decide that in his twilight years, he’s dropping the pretense of no wrongdoing, confesses to his part, and takes down the others, restoring truth to the old chestnut of “no one died when Clinton lied.”

And there’s commentary in here somewhere about trying to warn people about the need to prioritize transportation infrastructure and how we can cross cryptid harbingers off the list of viable strategies.

Wait…oil is a drug? I mean—it’s killed more people than the fentanyl epidemic but I don’t think this administration does metaphors.
Or are they saying that tanker was filled with liquid meth? If they thought it wasn’t oil, they’d have blown it up so they think it’s filled w oil. I’m so confused.

My instagram feed is suddenly populated by posts by men, and mostly Black men, talking about their pet cats and how they adore them. This is not a complaint.

If you ever told me catching up on my continuing ed credits would make me happy, I’d think you were coming from some alternate reality where Trump was made President. I’m grateful for #planning.org for keeping diversity, equity, LQBTQ history preservation, and climate change front & center.

Hot take, and I mean this positively: “Good Boy” is either a Japanese-style ghost story, or Skinamarink for dogs (but better.) Discuss among yourselves.

So this shutdown ending is what the kids call a Pyrrhic Victory, right? I get confused with the slang.

I fail to understand how good people resigning in protest, allowing them to be replaced by toadies, is a better move than remaining in place and refusing to do bad things (until removed).

So Schumer “rejects” the idea that he’s out of touch? His arrogant opinion is irrelevant. There isn’t a more obvious statement than that a 74 year old doesn’t have their finger on the pulse, just like how no Gen-Xer can wrap our brains around 6-7. He didn’t back the people’s choice. He needs to go.

My sense of impending doom is relieved enough at the moment to allow me to express my feelings about gas powered leaf blowers. I hate them. Like, really hate them. Is there a word for road rage that isn’t about drivers but leaf blowers? I feel that word right now.

I see the big victories last night as referendums on decency and empathy. Whether these new leaders can accomplish what they set out to do remains to be seen but that just saying that people deserve to be treated kindly was enough to get these results…I have hope that we’re not actually lost yet.

As I laced up my Chucks to go on a chilly walk to school to vote this morning, I actually paused to think if maybe I’d be better off driving than walking on the wooded path, not because of bears, but because of the risks of angry people. I hate that that thought even occurred to me.
