Dizzy and I had a surreal day together in late-80s Boston, and the Kennedys were involved...

Reading two novels - one fairly bad, one brilliant. Trying to parse it: the amateur one has up to three fairly trite similes per paragraph. Contrast with this single simile, rich with meaning, from the brilliant one (The English Patient).

I am reading two novels simultaneously that are each, at times, confusing - but one is absolutely intoxicating & delicious and the other is...MEH.

Personally, I think it should be front page news for at least a month if a sitting US President is using falsified evidence to try and deny due process to a man who has committed no crime, but thatโ€™s just me

The image is a screenshot of a post on X by a user named Yaroslav Trofimov (@yarotrof
). The post includes a quote in quotation marks: "These two countries." Below this, there is a screenshot of a post by Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump
) that reads: "If the EUROPEAN UNION works with CANADA in order to do economic harm to the USA, large scale TARIFFS, far larger than currently planned, will be placed on them both in order to protect the best friend that each of those two countries has ever had!"

The unfair FAFO of my parents' silent-gen lives: born in depression, war, market crash -> lived their entire lives (w/boomers) in the "FA" of unsustainable capitalism, American arrogance, & deliberate environmental ignorance -> likely to die in depression, war, market crash & WE get to "FO." #FAFO

Regenerative farmers can be sane, scientifically literate, Black, Indigenous, non-religious, non-crunchy, non-alt-right, feminist, accepting of plant based diets, urban born, and a heterosexual male, all at the same time.

Retweet this and/or follow me to see what that looks like.

Remember a few years ago when Maye Musk was hailed everywhere as a great supermodel (she was not) and the hallowed mother of the most brilliant man on earth (he was not)? Not hearing much from her camp lately. #elonmusk
