In hindsight it’s too bad that Y2K didn’t shut down all of the computers.

History repeating itself!

Yesterday, a woman yelled at a young mom whose baby was crying.
I approached Mom & said, "Don't listen to her. No one else minds; she was wrong & rude. If she yells again, come & sit with me."
Mom looked relieved & smiled. I was happy to see her feel empowered & ignore the woman.

Opinion | Trump's weaponizing vulgarity to alter Americans' sense of reality Trump and MAGA are attempting to rewrite history and remake reality right before our eyes — and they’re weaponizing vulgarity to do both.

"Trump’s smart enough to know that overwhelming the public with seemingly asinine ideas and actions creates a disorienting, even blinding effect, blurring the lines between reality and fantasy and making it harder to challenge his lies.

In essence, the stupidity is the point."

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are at a fast food restaurant, observing an automated self-serve menu stand. Blue: These self-serve fast food ordering things sure are convenient. Green sits back and watches as Blue ticks through the options of his order. Blue: No pickles, no onion… Green: I wonder if it lets me order one with nothing. Blue watches incredulously as Green makes his own order, choosing no ingredients. Green: No pickles, no sauce, no onion, no patty, no bun… Once Green has finished making his order, both foxes jump in fright as an unseen kitchen staff fox yells angrily. Kitchen fox: Who ordered the nothingburger?!

Lights are on but nobody is home.
We have a broken Roomba for President.

Trump cuts probably hindered warning process for Alaska storm that displaced hundreds, experts say Reductions in weather balloon launches could have degraded forecasts that residents depend on to prepare

"A majority of western Alaska’s weather balloon network was not operating during the landfall of the storm last weekend due to staffing constraints inflicted by the Trump administration..."

Exclusive: US military officials required to sign NDAs tied to Latin America mission, sources say U.S. military officials involved with President Donald Trump's expanding operations in Latin America have been asked to sign non-disclosure agreements, three U.S. officials say, a development that raises new questions about a military buildup that Venezuela fears may lead to an invasion.

I don't understand this. Members of the military are required to keep national defense information secret - no NDA needed.Unless it's about unlawful orders? I wish we could see a copy of the NDA. www.reuters.com/world/americ...

A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are in bed. Blue is sound asleep, as Green wakes up to a prolonged, high-pitched, continuous eeee-sound. Green, thinking: Wait, what's that sound? A child screaming? Outside, this late at night? Frowning and sleepy, Green lifts his head from his pillow and looks around, trying to determine the source of the sound. Green, still in thought: There it was again. Where is it coming from? As he looks around, Green's gaze lands on Blue. Still groggy and sleepy, Green nonetheless looks visibly relieved. Green, still thinking: I can't decide what to do about it before I figure out wh- oh. Green cuddles up to Blue, who is still just as serenly asleep as ever. The whistling sound continues, coming from Blue. Green, still in thought: It was just your nostril whistling.

Three studies of the rural imaginary: a barn in a field, two vultures on a shed roof, and the weathered slats of another. Each reflects on transience and endurance; light and texture turn the vernacular into a meditation on time, decay, and the quiet persistence of form. #eastcoastkin #photography
