Kinda wild that an almost 80 year old trust fund beneficiary who managed to bankrupt a half dozen companies while racking up 4,000 lawsuits by age 70 isn’t making great fiscal decisions for the country he refused to serve or pay taxes to.

Who’da thunk it?
Jamie Dimon says the *best case* scenario for the US is now a recession.

Cool, cool. From the best economy in the world to a self-inflicted recession in 4 months.

Gotta be some kind of record.

I spent 2008-2015 suggesting my fellow bloggers not share their children’s names, images and birthdates.

Everyone said I was overreacting.

Go talk to a 25 year old about their mom’s blog and you’ll learn how right I was (I wish I wasn’t)

I'm just gonna watch Midcentury Modern and spend 30 minutes pretending everything is okay. Then I"ll remind myself that Palm Springs was somehow able to stay fabulous under McCarthayism, and she'll find a way to thrive even with The Orange Scare.

If beautiful and ugly aren’t opposites in your personal thesaurus you might enjoy reading this. I certainly did.

Endless stream of these. I presume they are super scoopers?

In 2022 15% of LAFD firefighters lived in the city of Los Angeles.

100+ lived out of state.

@ajfeuerman.bsky.social my pants are at the drycleaners so the best I can hope for is a good day today, not a great one.

Question for the writers out there.

I'm increasingly uncomfortable with cloud services. Is opting out of gemini/copilot/whatever enough? Do I dust off an ancient computer and stay offline?

I love AI. I also am notoriously protective of my IP.

I also loathe autocorrect. Are we doomed?

I’m not opposed to a $200 bra, but I am profoundly offended to be offered a bra that lacks cup and band sizes.

Five years ago we sold a house we’d lived in for 15 years, threw out all the furniture and decided to pause in our empty new home while we decided how to decorate.

I do not have a success story to share.
Five years ago today, a man in Wuhan, China, began experiencing symptoms and became the first confirmed case of COVID-19.

Quick reminder for all the parents out there:

The truly terrible parents don’t lay in bed at night wondering if they were good enough to their kids.

Welp. I’ve lived in Los Angeles my entire life and today is the first time I got stuck in a police chase. Stay off the 10 kids.

Doctors should have a friend contact their office and share their experience. I’m waiting for a solo practitioner right now and I’m guessing all his patients are as cranky as his nurse and office manager.

Week three of out of town guests begins tomorrow, so I really need to be organized for Thanksgiving, I don’t have a menu yet.

I have time for nothing.

Question: should my annual garden bed be purple or orange this season? I’m gonna dig in the dirt and pretend I’m 10.
