Reader, walker, but no longer a worker. Possibly a codger. Most of my favorite movies are pre-1970. I use this app to post pictures of the sky, some nice music now and then, and to root for the survival of the American republic.
This is pretty great. She was Bonnie Raitt before Bonnie Raitt. youtu.be/hyUx91wYviQ?...

If you can't remember what part of you received the MRI, or what they found, then you don't get to keep bragging about acing the dementia test.

Little kids can be both very careful and very careless of what they put in their mouths. A booger is fine, for example, but a little bit of melty cheese dripping down the side of their grilled cheese will be summarily rejected as inappropriate.

Over the last year, you could have given into anger and despair.
Instead, you’ve organized in the largest numbers this country has ever seen to reclaim the power of the pro-democracy majority.
We could not be more thankful for you and everything you’re doing to defy Trump’s agenda.

In the last week, Donald Trump has called for the murder of Congressional Democrats and threatened to unilaterally declare an invasion of Venezuela.
If Congressional Republicans followed the Constitution, both of these would be removable offenses. But, they’re loyal to Trump, not the constitution.

They're not hiding it, folks—straight up neo-Nazi advertising, from the font to the language to the 11 stars for the Confederacy. Then you have the DHS openly using white nationalist language of "remigrate", which means ethnic cleansing.
This is who MAGA is now.

A few days ago, Trump, with his new "Department of War," said the USA hasn't been trying to win wars since WWII. He would be a very tough war-winner from now on. Then, he coughs up this Ukraine "peace" plan that is nothing but a surrender to Putin, white flags waving. What a gasbag.

Google docs grammar-check doesn't want me to use the word "seemly." Wants to make it "seemingly" instead. Google doc scratching its head and saying, "Dude, is that even a word?" Me saying, "Yes, actually. Look it up you dumb bastard!"

The writers have done a spectacular job this season revamping their fascinating "Marjorie Taylor Greene" character. The suspense over what she will do next is compelling. A lot of things are going on with MTG, maybe some good, others bad, and we won't know exactly what for two or more seasons.
