I live in a little ramshackle cottage in the northern Michigan countryside.
The Melania documentary was 40 million dollars? Ken Burns just a few years ago made a documentary of the entire Vietnam War for 30 million. #Amazon just threw away 40 million. This was just another Trump family, to use Erika Kirk's word, grift.

You don't need to know my problems. Maybe one day I'll write an encyclopedia about them.

ADHDers look like hoarders, and I guess we are, but without certain items, we forget. Our memories are tied to objects, and when the objects are gone, so go the memories. Laugh if you must, but it's true.

My emergency battery is clicking, so we might lose power in all this wind. Icing on the cupcake, I guess... ugh.

The question of "God" is unanswerable. Theism and atheism are irrelevant. Nobody can say there is or there isn't a god. The matter is so unanswerable that to discuss it at length is ridiculous.

I cannot wait to hear and read what people will write when Trump kicks the bucket. Articles, tweets, and probably even books celebrating his death, I'm sure. Squirrel away a little money for champagne when the day comes.

Of course you invite people to Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners! Why do foreigners think that is so unusual?

Governors nation wide should send word to the State and Local Police to arrest ICE on sight. If they resist, then their National Guard should be mobilized to bring this terrorist Gestapo under control. American Communities should be protected.

You just don't know what's AI or not. Content creators have to make things that highlight or "prove" they are real people, or I click off.

The bottle deposit in Michigan increases bottle return rates and recycling that creates thousands of jobs and has brought in millions of dollars for the state to use to clean up contamination and make life safer for us. #Michigan

ICE is using immigrant tax filings to find and deport them for "leeching off the government". And the MAGAs don't see the irony in it whatsoever.

They say Trump is aging a year for every month he's in office. It's hard to feel sympathy for this deliberately foolish behavior.

It's now illegal to fly over the Palace of Mar-a-Lago at any time, so now air traffic is flying over permanent Palm Beach residents. They are not happy. More fuel for the resistance, I hope.

I listened to an interview with Dick Van Dyke, and he was reminiscing about singing Carolina In the Morning. I remember a trip once, maybe I was running a tractor-trailer, but I woke up one morning in the North Carolina mountains, and it was gorgeous. I stood and looked at it for a long time.

Can you imagine if a Democratic administration authorized federal agents stopping people on the street demanding to see their IDs and taking their photos to run through facial recognition software? And without warrants or probable cause? Fox News would have worked up a riot over it.

You know what you don't see anymore? Kites. You don't see people flying kites. In Korea, they had kite flying clubs all over, but here in the States? Not even kids fly kites anymore.

Trump canceled the jobs report and the GDP report. That has never happened in U.S. history, so the figures must be really bad. Modern Republican administrations always develop a recession, so we should expect one within a year or two.

Pete Hegseth declined to comment on whether or not the murders of the boatmen in the Caribbean were on his orders or not. Ooh, Hegseth's trial down the road is going to be juicy.

Socialism isn't "free stuff". It's using our tax money for us instead of giving it all away to corporations and waste in the Pentagon. Socialism is not dictatorship unless that's the form of government you choose. Americans choose democracy. Socialism is democratic in America.

The sun is peeking out between bouts of snow. I'll be on the road for Thanksgiving. Let us hope the roads are getting treated. Making glorified rice to take to dinner. Yummy!
