All of this has been so very predictable. It doesn’t make any of it less infuriating though.
A colleague in Social Work asked me yesterday if I had to deal with this stuff all day. I have to limit news intake to mornings and evenings.

Trump: "Is Trump in good health? I sit here, I do four news conferences a day. I ask questions from very intelligent lunatics -- you people. I give the right answers. There's never a scandal. There's never a problem. I give you answers that solve your little problems."

Today has been great. I worked outside for a few hours on the deck posts, and then sat on the deck with my family all afternoon until it was dark and we decided to go to dinner. Just a great day. Even rolled mom up her ramp to sit with us.

A lot of tiredness and exhaustion from not doing your job. Imagine that.
Imagine how tired Johnson would be, if he actually exerted Congress’ prerogatives once in a while.

Everyone knows data centers use a ton of water.
What hardly anyone knows: they can poison the water that remains.

Hmmm, what to do or say about all the people who may potentially bail on Trump for doing the unpopular things that he has always said he was going to do? Hmmm.
They weren't against the things. They were against the things being unpopular. They still fully support the things.

I’m a bad person because my wife and I agreed that we would not remodel a floor of our house until all the dogs died, and I periodically get out the measuring tape and measure right in front of the dogs.
