We could’ve had Tim 😭

Inside Musk’s Aggressive Incursion Into the Federal Government The billionaire is creating major upheaval as his team sweeps through agencies, in what has been an extraordinary flexing of power by a private individual.

"Aggressive incursion." "Major upheaval." "Flexing of Power." It is a #coup.

A Guide to Surviving the Trump Presidency Here are tips to staying sane as we embark on yet another four years of Trump

A good read for today.

Today is the last day for Academy Award voters to submit their nominations, including potentially nominations for The Day The Earth Blew Up.

In honor of it, WB has released this new poster!

All we’re saying is we’re going to watch for Conan but you throw in a Looney win? great show right there!

Confession: I still want to capitalize the S in Bluesky.

Similar issue with LinkTree.

I know both are wrong , but the right way also feels…wrong.

Don’t even get me started on the pronunciation of gif.

I love watching The Lincoln Lawyer series on Netflix because of all the amazing shots of Los Angeles. A real treat for lalaland lovers.

Happy Sunday. I just found out @griffithpark.bsky.social is on BlueSky and am so happy about it. Looking forward to many good morning walks in the year ahead.

Agree. CBS Sunday Morning gives much needed balance. I loved today’s stories on that sunrise photographer guy and the Creative Spaces studio and artists. Life is too short to let yourself get sucked into the black hole of DC obsessed punditry. We have a whole world and lots of good people to enjoy.

Writer James Fallows on the "magic" of Jimmy Carter With the passing of former President Jimmy Carter, his chief speechwriter, James Fallows, looks back on Carter's time in office – and a post-presidency that would enshrine his legacy.

A segment I recorded for CBS Sunday Morning on Jimmy Carter, and the now hard-to-remember sense of magic he had during his rise.

“Gaslit by My Husband” is a wild story! Morgan Metzer is my hero.

Happy Monday! Starting off the day with coffee and the usual digital patrol of Law & Crime Sidebar with Jessie Weber, Reddit, this space, some fun FB Groups, and a bit of Morning Joe.

Today’s big plan is to work on a Marketing Plan by day and see Wicked tonight (for the 3rd time).

I really enjoy CBS News on Sundays. Current media diet is a light return to MSM as well as lightening up social media time. Definitely need to read more books in 2025, plus listen to vinyl records.

Just 3 more days left in the soon-to-be-old year. Today’s plan = writing, a Zoom meeting at 11am, and then an overdue walk in Griffith Park plus visiting the Observatory with my visiting sister. I am working today on my portfolio, too.

I had been overfeeding him and his cat, and nite that I have reduced their dry food by half, they both are more receptive to eating all their wet food, plus I add a can of water at the base and they do eat it all.

This is a long way of saying prevention beats ER visits and sorrow in cat care.

The ultrasound showed simmering cloudy in his bladder which could be crystals building up. Or a UTI or worse. Vet ordered a urinalysis and we just discussed results and plans of action which include a prescription diet and getting him to drink more water.

I learned some fascinating facts today about cat pee. My Big Boy has always peed in my bathtub a few times a week since he made me his human a couple of years ago. Recently I noticed a faint pinkish color to his pee which went away and then returned.

I took him to the vet for an exam. Glad I did!

Hello, Democrats!
Clarence Thomas took a paid yacht trip to a Russia helicopter which took him to Putin's hometown and we did NOTHING?
We didn't even ask how the last word on the law would do this?
Let's be real. We need new leadership.

Billionaire whore Justice Clarence Thomas

If we're gonna end entitlements for people, let's start with this welfare queen #ClarenceThomas #SCOTUS

Immediately. Why haven’t Clarence and Virginia Thomas been charged with tax evasion? They are so clearly guilty, and it is so clearly evident.

Bidens arrive at beach villa on St. Croix after prior free stays drew ethics outcry President Biden and his family arrived Thursday in St. Croix for what may be the final unpaid vacation of his presidency at the home of wealthy businesspeople — after consistent freebies as command…

NYPost is complaining that someone not named Clarence Thomas gets to stay at the homes of rich people on holiday.

The guy put Blake Lively nude and in stirrups for a childbirth scene and then gave the OBGYN role to some friend of his as a present. Question: Where was Sony in all of this?

Yesterday I saw #Wicked for the 2nd time. The 1st time wowed me visually. The 2nd time? Made me cry. So beautiful.

Good morning. Now that #PresidentMusk has to primary 170 GOP Representatives, I can enjoy TV news a tiny bit once again.

Just saying.

Watching True Crime YouTube coverage of strange murders. An astonishing number of them happen after a shopping trip at Publix. Coincidence? Or cause and effect?

Social media has taught me that I really don’t want to know what many people around me IRL are thinking when there is so much dumbness in this world.

I do like to see what my smart heroes have to say. Plus MUST read one AITA post on Reddit. But the world will go on if I keep it to 180 minutes/week.

An addiction is an addiction is an addiction.

Even if it is fun, unless you are being paid to be in that virtual bar, it does not benefit you to be a regular, drinking poison hours there every day, even if it is sweetened and served up with fancy umbrellas. It’s bad for your wallet, mind, body.

Reluctantly I divested from the South African enterprise.

Lesson learned: none of these platforms are “ours.” These spaces profit from us while we do all the entertaining and informing.

So, while it’s nice to go to the neighborhood bar to see what the buzz is that day, don’t get drunk!

This limiting my screen time has real dividends.

I used to love a Twitter with a mad passion. Spent way too much time going to the internet’s town square to watch virtual spats. I was sad to see it taken over by that Bond villain, but his minions said it was now HIS property.

He took the joy out.

Today I am revising a District Meeting trilingual flyer, getting certified in First Aid/CPR, welcoming my Sister visiting from Utah for the holidays, meeting virtually to help with planning the Lions MD4 convention in 2025, and misc. tasks.

This is the Taylor Swift vibe for today
