Looking like 217% in my house now that subsidies are gone. #thanksgop
Are you tired of all the winning? Me too!
I know. The winning is really getting tiresome. When will it all stop?
Oh yea, it is painful. The good news is that the bone heals in time.
I slipped, fell and broke my kneecap in April. Doing better but need a wheelchair in airports. Last night at SFO I noticed that no one is paying attention, many faces staring at phones or just staring into space. We nearly hit people that cut us off or were oblivious

Here’s to a strong recovery

I don’t understand how they are programming this - better to knowingly lie by making something up rather than just admit a problem. I run into this all the time with ChatGPT
Happy Caturday with Domino

Gray rainy day so it’s a lap nap kind morning. #caturday
Reporting from SF: ours are up about 37% to $2600/month for a mid-50s gay couple, on a bronze plan

Featuring “who’s your daddy” Skarsgard
Cuz he said it wouldn’t touch the East Wing. And he’s right, because the East Wing won’t be there anymore.

As the saying goes “they were had”.
It took the demolition of the East Wing to raise questions about ethics????
Congratulations!!! May the upcoming decades be your happiest yet! ❤️
How does Trump equivocate them? As “some very fine people”?
Perhaps we can use it to store the excess soybeans? 😉
I saw a headline in the NYT online (app) saying it wasn’t about the numbers? I’m not sure how you downplay covering a protest of this magnitude. It was 2% of the population
