Happily retired from a career that can best be described as Brownian motion. Lover of Oxford commas. Socially liberal, fiscally conservative, and frequently cranky.
First there were imaginary numbers. Now there’s impossible math. Pretty soon we’ll all be eating pi for the holidays.

Are there no non-profit insurers anymore? Health insurance costs began their extreme rise at the same time as employer-sponsored health care plans came on the scene and insurers became for-profit.

Well, EU, you can pay to save Ukraine or pay to defend yourselves when Putin attacks. Your choice. Put on your big-person pants and step up, because the US no longer is a reliable partner. Trump actually thinks your democratic values make you the enemy. You and NATO are on your own.

An org I belong to holds an annual June conference in DC. While I would love to be there for our 250th anniversary, I just cannot bear the thought of visiting DC as long as Rump is in charge. He just soils that city with his presence.

It looks more like the wet dream is for Putin, Xi, and Trump to divvy up the planet. Putin gets Russia and Europe, Xi gets Asia, and Trump gets the Western Hemisphere. Not sure where Africa, India, and Australia will go.

Reminds me of a friend who hated the “I ❤️” stickers on cars and went around covering the hearts with little screw stickers. I wonder if there’s some way to use those? Maybe “Donald Trump 🔩s” on top of the words “trash”? Or just “Donald Trump is white” above “trash”?

Now Trump can grab some more headlines and delight his TDS base by gleefully attacking a new woke enemy. And you know the horrible insults he’s about to throw at Maria Shriver. You know.
