The only thing keeping me sane today is foreign (British, European) news which is variously bemused, alarmed, confused, amused, disgusted, and unimpressed by our new president and his promises/acts.

It has been an insane week at work, so this weekend I intend to Be More Ziggy. Like a chubby, horizontal, ginger furred penguin, Ziggy prioritizes rest and relaxation. Be more Ziggy.

It's disturbing seeing some medical and public health professionals trying to normalize RFK by saying "we have to meet him halfway."
NOPE.
RFK is a charlatan who has deliberately spread disinformation that has killed people.
Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.
