In the interest of combating creeping fascism in the US, I'd like to remind folks to read (or re-read) our founding documents: primarily the US Constitution, but also the Declaration of Independence.

THIS. This is exactly what I'm saying, in a different way. He's all about *the show*, not the substance. He puts on a song & dance so all eyes are on him.
Trump will absolutely be won over by enthusiasm and energy and believing in something. he's a musicals guy. he's a showman.

So with the various snippets going around about Trump & how he's being with Mamdani at the mayor-elect's visit, how he's "OK" with being called a fascist & went to dig FDR's portrait "out of the vaults": it's important to remember that he isn't really changing his position.
He doesn't have any.

An #ADHD tip that has saved my bacon more than once: if you put together a thing for your house (like furniture, brackets, curtain rods, that sort of thing), & you end up with a) extra parts &/or b) tools that came with it (like the ubiquitous Ikea Allen wrench), DO NOT SEPARATE THEM.

Y'know what's a weird thing I learned recently about #ADHD?
ADHD-wired brains crave stimulation, right? So for a lot of us, coming up with ideas for a project is enough stimulation to satisfy our brains. & we don't actually *do* the project, because *thinking about it* was enough.
WTF, brain.

I wonder if Lindsey Graham comes up in the Epstein files at all.
Speaking of, haven't heard much from Lady G for awhile. What's he been up to? Do I want to know? I probably don't want to know. Same for McConnell.

OK, this shit with Marjorie Taylor Greene is really fuckin' weird.
Same with Bobo voting to release the files.
I mean, I wondered if there was a line anyone on the MAGA side of the aisle wouldn't cross, & I guess for some, there is.
Still weird to see.

Well, so far I'm getting amounts for health care plans through the state ACA market thingy between $837 and $1377 or so.
My most essential medication isn't covered, but nobody covers it, so that isn't a surprise. (I get it through Costco for cheap.)

On the rodent front, we're making progress. Some guys are supposed to remove the Sexy Couch today, since apparently my house mice have great style when it comes to choosing their living accommodations.
Bit of a bummer: I'd hoped to donate it to a local theater or something.

So here's a thing about the ACA rate increases: I just got laid off. I qualify for COBRA, & have the chance to continue the coverage I had under my job, if I pick up the full amount it cost the company I worked for.

Pfft... somebody elsenet just accused me of "[forgetting] about leaded gasoline" as a cause of lead exposure, after I posted a link to an article... about leaded gasoline as a cause of lead exposure.

Right, so I don't even want to talk about dealing with the mice right now. So I won't.

Yeah so today I'm a) dealing with an infestation of mice in my house, & b) a shit-ton of embarrassment at what a trainwreck my past relationships have been. (Yeah, pretty much all of them.)

Movie night with the S.O. Revisiting a lot of 80s faves of late. Tonight it's "Young Sherlock Holmes". Seeing it now it dawns on me that is basically the GenX older sibling of Harry Potter.

Well, my feet are cold, heart rate still jittery, I'm soaked in flop sweat, but I finished the interview.
It went OK. I answered questions intelligently, but I talked too much.

Y'know one thing that's shitty about Mike Johnson?
Yeah, I know there's WAY more than just one thing, but bear with me here...
When he's behaving himself, he seems benign. Very boy-next-door in speech, dress, mannerisms, looks. It's a highly deceptive image.

I would like anyone who suggests something like this to be classified into said high-risk pool permanently.
