For light entertainment, I’m watching ‘IT: Welcome to Derry’. The opening credits are perfect.

No, we don’t have Thanksgiving in the U.K. …I’ve been telling Americans that it is because Brits have nothing to be thankful for! 😂

Just had the pleasure of our dog getting accidentally skunked for the first time - right in his face, poor guy! Followed by the subsequent chaos as my Wife and I strip down the house and our clothes to try and get rid of the stench! 🤢

Extremely upset that a throw-away XKCD joke somehow became the organizing principle for the Internet.

The moment when 30 million American's received healthcare (2010) The moment when insurance companies had to start covering preexisting conditions, young adults could stay on their family's policy and I could trust that the small print couldn't screw me if I needed serious medical assistance. 🇺🇸

As the World seems a bit… all over the place right now, I thought I’d watch the first episode of ‘IT: Welcome to Derry’. I was surprised to find a) It’s not actually set in Ireland, and b) Doesn’t include the lovable characters of Roy and Moss.

There is absolutely nothing old or consolidated about *multiracial, pluralistic democracy* in America. It only started 60 years ago.
And the conflict over whether or not it should be allowed to endure and prosper has been the central fault line in U.S. politics ever since.

Small pleasure: Seeing how many different varieties of trees there are around here in Northern California, and how wonderfully healthy they all look. That is all.

Saw someone spin-out and crash their BMW this evening in NorCal after a day of moderate rainfall. No one else involved, no one hurt, and the confused, 20-something male driver stumbled out of the car to check for damage. Why? Because some people don’t know how to drive in the wet.

Not only is Tom Hanks protecting his own health, by masking up he’s protecting everyone else on public transit.
Many people taking the subway don’t have paid time off.
They don’t have the good healthcare someone like Hanks can afford.
Masking is community care.

When asked by Stephen Colbert why he was wearing a mask in public, Tom Hanks said..
“I’ve had Covid enough in my life I don’t need to do that again. I’m wearing this for health reasons”
More celebrities need to speak out like this.

Kogarashi (Japan) - lit. ‘leaf-wilting wind’.

Wait, Trump wants to bomb Nigeria …why?
(Reads about why).
Okay, but a) Is any part of Trump’s claims true? b) He’s stating this to appeal to the evangelical wing of his base, and c) Trump doesn’t care about anyone else but himself and his closest cheerleaders. And d) Another distraction
