I had a few sausage rolls in Scotland and a few in Australia. The Aussie sausage rolls didn’t make me want to cut my tongue out - so I suppose those might go over well in the US…

Kinda wild that an almost 80 year old trust fund beneficiary who managed to bankrupt a half dozen companies while racking up 4,000 lawsuits by age 70 isn’t making great fiscal decisions for the country he refused to serve or pay taxes to.

Who’da thunk it?

I struggle with frizz and fixed it by swapping out the shower heads here to really inexpensive ones with filters in them. Skin is better too. I like culligan but love sprite

Also use a heat protectant and sunscreen and never blow dry from wet. Only from damp.

Tragically, I think 2025 is a moment for restraint about public healthcare discussion between patients.
We can get y’all out of prison but if they repeal the ACA we can’t get you hired, protected, or healed.

With every fiber of my being, I hope I am wrong, but I fear I will be proven correct.

I don’t think we’re far from an America where one can be fired for admitting to ADHD or PTSD.
I suspect that discussing depression may soon keep Americans from having robust health insurance.
Do you have RA, IBD, Diabetes, melanoma or migraines? No. No you do not when it’s in writing.

Psychiatry is under attack. The brain worm guy is running things now.

I know how important it is to talk about all the ways we are outliers. I traveled the world talking about a chronic condition.

Be careful. Maybe the Canadians need to take over those discussions for a bit.

They want you pregnant.
Before 2010 pregnancy was a preexisting condition. That’ll be cash please - I hope you have no complications… doesn’t really matter if you’re insured because there are so few people brave enough to be OB/GYNs in this very strange version of America.

We can be sure that Obamacare is one of the next targets.
The ACA eliminated lifetime maximum caps.
Imagine an insurance company saying “you spent $2m, the rest of your cancer treatments aren’t covered.” It has happened.

If you weren’t in the workplace by 2010 it’s hard to imagine

This administration is at war with its own citizens taking away the protections Biden, Obama and Bush put into place (CA-4 - thanks W, it was nice while it lasted).

When you’re paying student loans and going to the *right* bathroom (don’t tap your foot if a closeted GOP senator is there)…

I spent 2008-2015 suggesting my fellow bloggers not share their children’s names, images and birthdates.

Everyone said I was overreacting.

Go talk to a 25 year old about their mom’s blog and you’ll learn how right I was (I wish I wasn’t)

Airlines end seasonal flights between Canada, Palm Springs early amid Trump tariff tension WestJet and Flair are both ending seasonal flights to cities in western Canada weeks ahead of schedule.

I'm just gonna watch Midcentury Modern and spend 30 minutes pretending everything is okay. Then I"ll remind myself that Palm Springs was somehow able to stay fabulous under McCarthayism, and she'll find a way to thrive even with The Orange Scare.

There is so much happening here. I can hardly decide which cretin to focus on.

Everyone is fearful, our healthcare system is run by a lunatic, our education funding has been dismantled & the media is under attack.

I worked my ass off to get dems to the polls - but we failed. I’m sorry and we miss Canadians, even you.

In fairness I’m not particularly nice all the time.

Tourism, especially from snowbirds drives the economy there. Palm Springs is an LGBTQ+ haven and losing Canadians matters to us.

We are fighting for our kids’ rights to exist & for their financial & physical futures.

In the desert, yes. Very much

Palm Springs is suffering. We miss Canadians.

Still home.

Do I know a single person who pays for Amazon music?

Endless stream of these. I presume they are super scoopers?

In 2022 15% of LAFD firefighters lived in the city of Los Angeles.

100+ lived out of state.

@ajfeuerman.bsky.social my pants are at the drycleaners so the best I can hope for is a good day today, not a great one.

Tomorrow will be 6. If I’m lucky.

Your November timeline. You visited five hotels in November

November was fun.

Question for the writers out there.

I'm increasingly uncomfortable with cloud services. Is opting out of gemini/copilot/whatever enough? Do I dust off an ancient computer and stay offline?

I love AI. I also am notoriously protective of my IP.

I also loathe autocorrect. Are we doomed?

hoping for the latter.

What happens in a red state never stays in that red state. Literally.
