Wine flight:
Zenato Bardolino - nice
Bodegas Muriel Riojas- she’s spicy!
Velle Reale Montepulciano DAbruzzo - dry and comforting

Duolingo has not taught me any of these words here y’all.

My New Year’s resolutions were to do something creative every day and to try at least one new cheese each month. I tried some lustenberger, butterkäse, and White Stilton with mango and ginger this week. They were all good but that Stilton *chef’s kiss*. All cheeses available at Aldi.

I took the Facebook app off my phone. I miss a couple of groups but I can keep up with them elsewhere. I feel less doom and gloom. I have more time. My anxiety isn’t great but I’m not spiraling.

Of course this is day 2. Stay tuned.

I think it already is.

But seriously. Don’t call them names. We want the door open for them when they realize the mistake they made.

We are for a better America. Not a vindictive America

Trump set the TikTok ban in motion

Congress passed legislation

Biden signs legislation

SCOTUS upholds ban

Biden says his administration wouldn’t enforce the law, leaving room for TikTok to stay open

TikTok shuts down anyway

Trump tweets

TikTok pretends Trump saved it 🙄

to recap:
— Trump was *for* the TikTok ban
— which the GOP Congress passed
— and the GOP Supreme Court upheld
— and even though Biden said he wouldn't enforce the ban, TikTok shut down anyway
— so that Trump could "save" it
— and the media fell for it
we really do live in the dumbest fucking country

My sourdough was not a complete failure. Under proofed but edible.

Y’all. I’ve been keto for several years now and whenever I’ve had mashed cauliflower it has been the frozen
Kind. I had some fresh cauli I needed to use so I made mash and OH. MY. GOD. The frozen kind just lost. Wtf

Seeing something that reminds you of someone who deeply, deeply betrayed you, and knowing once upon a time you would have sent it to them for the laughs, and now you just try to ignore it and keep it moving is a special, second, almost worse betrayal. It sucks. Be good to people who are good to you.

My probably unpopular opinion is that this is actually a damn good list of honorees.

I am sharing this posting from my friend #KimFuller (Billy Carter’s daughter and niece of the late president) of billboards that have gone up in GA, NE and PA.
Fitting.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.

He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.

Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.

On the 5th day of Christmas, I had a salad for lunch and my body wept with joy.

My favorite genre of reels and tiktoks right now is: dogs eating their family’s elf on the shelf.

I usually advocate k*lling it with fire, but letting the dog handle it works too! 😂😂😂

Trump in August: "From the day I take the oath of office, we’ll rapidly drive prices down, and make America affordable again. Prices will come down. You just watch. They’ll come down and they’ll come down fast."

Trump now: “It's hard to bring things down once they're up. You know, it's very hard."

I figured out today that my very religious, very holier-than-thou grandfather had a wife and kids before he married my grandmother and it appears that he just abandoned them. I. Am. Shook.

Normalize having a desk in your family room. Sometimes I want to do things that require a desk but I don’t want to be by myself in my office or at the dining room table.
