Dear Canada-
Please accept our deepest apologies from all decent Americans embarrassed by the obnoxious trolling from our man-baby-in-chief who is lacking in both intelligence & any impulse-control whatsoever.

I love being a writer. It’s the paperwork I can’t stand.

The Paradox of Writing

If you are easily offended, you are also easily persuaded.

I've heard pundits and the uninformed say, "Government isn't good for business." But, the reverse is true. DARPA funded the creation of the greatest job generation machine in human history, we all know it today as the Internet.

Just cancelled our AirBnB account. Chose the reason as Other: "Joe Gebbia's collaboration with Elon Musk and the Trump administration's efforts to dismantle the US Gov't is unacceptable.
This is but a drop in the ocean, but perhaps enough of these will affect the price of their stock...

Feels about right.

Incompetence in Washington puts every American at risk, no matter how you voted. No one should be happy that the DOGE team - the same folks who randomly published classified U.S. security information online today - wants access to your bank account & Social Security numbers.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IN CASE OF ICE: CONOCE TUS DERECHOS EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:

DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR. ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge. Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door. NO ABRAS TU PUERTA. ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.

ASK THEM TO LEAVE. If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission. 2 PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN. Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.

REMAIN SILENT. You have the right to remain silent. If the agents ask you questions, tell them, "I wish to remain silent." PERMANECE EN SILENCIO. Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio. Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles: "Deseo permanecer en silencio".

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too.

EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them.

Ok, maybe panic a little.

Spectacular! Thanks for sharing.

Love these B&Ws!

I love that we get to see landscape photography from another world on a regular basis.

Dear Karma,

Where the hell are you?

We have a list of people you missed.

Love,

Love it!

No need to #factcheck…

I don’t always buy #wine because of the label, but this one I would.

I wonder how loud the T-Rex is… And I like how the Russian Doll has the #Ukraine colors 🇺🇦

He’s going to need some lotion for this burn.

To be fair, much of voting American picked the dumpster.
#NewYear

I’m thinking 2025 may be a bit more haggard 😬
#HappyNewYear

Happy New Year to you and the whole family! We’ll look forward to seeing you in 2025 😊

The only silver lining in humanity’s collective loss of President Carter is that President Biden will be the one to officiate his funeral. We all know that DonOld would behave disgracefully if it were left up up to him.
