While bazillionaire Bezos and Boobies went on a tasteless look at me binge with his hangers on, enablers and sycophants. Ex-wife Mackenzie Scott has given away almost $20 billion to 1,600 charities, no strings attached and without any need for recognition, a parade or applause.
Be a Mackenzie.

Not just excess, it’s a system built to keep people hungry so the rich can keep feasting. But the masses are waking up.

" Minds were made for blowing." Vale. One of my few literary heroes. If ever there was an author I returned to again and again throughout my life for absurd, comedic meanderings into life's meaning - it was Tom Robbins. May he journey into eternal sunshine. 😎✌️

Tom Robbins, 'Even Cowgirls Get the Blues' author, dies at 92
Robbins indulged the hippie sensibilities of young people starting in the early 1970s with books that had an overarching philosophy of what he called “serious playfulness."

Politeness is not the same as kindness.
Being polite is saying what makes people feel good today. Being kind is doing what helps people get better tomorrow.
When the norm is politeness, people withhold disagreement and criticism. When the norm is kindness, people speak their minds respectfully.

My 2025 hobby is helping my pals de-centre tech from their lives.
Acquire CDs, records, DVDs, paper books, reference books, magazines, dictionaries, etc. Go to the library!
Going analog is a small way to stop relying on tech bro monsters & helps preserve knowledge they're literally deleting.
