They say, "I don't follow politics." All over the place.

More people were detached than voted for either candidate in 2024. They are mostly proud of it and determined to remain that way.

DuckDuckGo provides an AI summary. "Recent observations by psychologists suggest that Donald Trump may be exhibiting signs of dementia."

People really hate high prices. Health care premiums will shoot up soon. People will lose coverage. Tariffs are raising prices on everything. The Trump Tax.

It's just about what I expected so far, and exactly what Trump said he would do on the bad stuff. The good stuff he shouted about was always a ruse.

Not every town or city is walkable! But, lots of old ones here in the Northeast were created back when everyone walked most places, and many still retain good walkability.

There are lots of smaller cities where you can comfortably walk or bike to most places yet also have enough room for detached homes with driveways and parking. I can walk downtown in 5 minutes or drive to an Adirondack mountain trail in 30 minutes.

Never saw it in many years of youth sports, but did see lots of poor officiating leading to parent frustration. Some teams take every advantage of it and do stuff the parents can see while the official's back is turned. Ultimately, it's up to the coaches and some are just bad.
