Here's a mind-bender from the news coverage of Pope Leo XIV: They interviewed his *brother* about whether he's a Cubs fan. Can you imagine being an American Catholic in Chicago, and suddenly your brother is the Pope? LOL

YIKES! There will be nothing left of the US.

WELCOME TO MY ADHD: 3.5 hours of research. Still no backup plan for laptop. See my rabbit hole trail in photo below (too many characters for BluSky). TO QUOTE LORELAI GILMORE: “Hockey puck, rattlesnake, monkey, monkey, underpants!"

IDEA: ALL of SpaceX's federal contracts should be contingent on its maintenance of Air Force One. (This is an actual sacrifice as I live on the flight path for Andrews.)

FIND SOMETHING TO SHARE TODAY--AND CALL YOUR REP IN THE U.S. HOUSE: I wanted to share this to offer some hope during these dark times. Thanks to Trisha Forgione Turiano for her ongoing eloquence.

On your 22nd birthday, in your rookie season, you intercept a pass and run for a touchdown in the Super Bowl. I really hope Cooper DeJean gets himself a life coach, because how do you top that?

Hilarious Rejoinder Of The Day: "What is AAA? In Germany, it is a battery size"

After playing Victor Wooten's #Fodera bass, it's kind of all I can think about. (Yes, seriously, *the* #VictorWooten let me play his Yin Yang!) #AtomicMusic has a Fodera (comes available for sale on 11/27). It's not quite as light and balanced as the one I played before, but what a sound.

A character in a novel is drinking a gingerbread latte. That sounded great, so I googled for a recipe. The first SIX websites list "gingerbread syrup" as an ingredient without a linked recipe for it. If I HAD gingerbread syrup, why would I need a recipe for a gingerbread latte?

Since it looks like we're posting cute pet photos... Meet Arturo and Amelia. (Photos by William Petruzzo)
