There is a TX State Trooper training event at the hotel where we're staying. One of them was just hitting on me at the continental breakfast, lol. I swear they can smell the law enforcement in my DNA. 🙄

When you hear people from #Maine say, "it's just one big small town & everyone sees each other at the airport," this is what we mean.

So great to bump into @pingree.house.gov at PWM today! Grateful I could thank her for all her good work.

Lest I tempt the gods on Mount Olympus, I believe I actually did get some rest over the holiday break.

Oxford University Press has chosen “rage bait” as its 2025 Word of the Year. The open-compound word, which beat out “biohack” and “aura farming,” goes back at least to 2002. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/30/a...

If you're feeling Weltschmerz or you have the botts, the only solution is to listen to the latest new episode! https://waywordradio.org/drop-in-the-bucket/ We know it's only one hair from nine oxen but add oil! Maybe it won't turn off cold this week!

Why didn’t Trump order flags to be flown at half staff for National Guard member Sarah Beckstrom like he did for Charlie Kirk? 🤔

Imagine if they just subsidized newspapers and magazines the way they’re subsidizing this slop
"All of this falls apart if humans don't adopt the tech. This is why you've seen Meta cram its lame chatbots into WhatsApp and Instagram. This is why Notepad and Paint now have useless Copilot buttons on Windows. This is why Google Gemini wants to "help you" read and reply to your emails."
Analysis: OpenAI is a loss-making machine, how can it survive?
Don't call it a bubble! Loss-making monster OpenAI is on the hook for $1.4 trillion (with a T) in compute commitments. How can this go on?

This morning I thought about making a TJ Maxx run for some items I need before Monday...then I remembered what today is.

Phew. Saved my own life there.

Family cookbooks, filled with handwritten notes, sometimes held together with rubber bands, tell the story of generations of homemakers. They are irreplaceable treasures.

In fact, Ru is not at the table. It hasn't agreed to anything concrete. The US has shamefully taken on the role of channeling and presenting a set of Ru demands. The WH is bragging about progress prematurely.

Trump wanted to hang his own VP for not helping to steal an election. Shoe fits.
Trump is now seeming to endorse execution for his perceived enemies — retweeting a post that called for the hanging of Democrats who told servicemembers to refuse illegal orders.

He also claims the Dems are engaging in 'seditious behavior'.

They lied about it. All of it. A thug cop shot an unarmed woman five times without justification, boasted about it to his colleagues, and then this administration tried cover it all up by arresting her and charging her with felonies.
Absolutely incredible; after shooting Marimar Martinez 5 times and arresting her on claims that she rammed them and pulled a gun, prosecutors have now moved to dismiss ALL criminal charges against her and her codefendant.
New: the govt has moved to dismiss its assault case against Marimar Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, two people accused of "box[ing] in" a Border Patrol vehicle in Chicago on Oct. 4.

One agent shot Martinez, with evidence presented to the court that he later bragged about in text messages.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but when you go to the Dr.s office and the intake process includes checking your weight? You're allowed to close your eyes and ask that the number isn't shared with you.
