Zohran Mandami did a bit of trolling of Andrew Cuomo, and who can blame him. Cuomo scrambled to reject Trump's back-handed endorsement, but I have a feeling it will stick anyway.

One of the things to remember is that the current occupant of the White House almost always does things to draw attention or deflect attention. The best thing we can do is to stay grounded, stay centered. Our path forward remains the same.

If at all possible, please don't support the big box stores, not just on Black Friday weekend, but for the Christmas season. Spend wisely, frugally and intentionally. Buy local whenever possible. Small businesses rock.

There's a quick way to fix your TikTok videos so they'll play in a browser. When you copy a link to a video in the TikTok app, the site adds additional information that isn't really needed for a browser to find it. You can edit out that information.

Turns out that I didn't miss anything by skipping the "important" press conference. @pinkberryga.bsky.social posted something on TikTok about it and I took a screenshot. Thankfully there were other folks watching His Orangeness so I wouldn't have to.

I love shopping at Aldi because they don't contribute much to political campaigns. I will definitely continue to shop there instead of Walmart. I did notice that the Texas Aldi where I was today had a lot of Texas beef. Most big Texas grocers will. I still love shopping at Aldi. Just not for beef.
