For the record, don't expect a follow-back if your feed shows fewer than two original posts--I don't know you. Don't go the DM route--immediately suspicious. If your feed is more than 40% political, I'm not interested. I don't give a fig about crypto.

First Trump claimed his attacks on immigrants were targeting "illegals." Now people who followed the rules are being denied US citizenship.
First Trump told Europe to pay more for defense. Now his National Security Strategy is bashing Europe for not being white enough.
The common thread: racism.

In the 4.5-mile bike ride to pick up my kids from school, I found the following in painted bike lanes: at least 6 trash bins, a parked car, a parked firefighter truck (likely lunch break), and a parked city maintenance vehicle. This is unacceptable, and another reason why paint is not infrastructure

Escaped domestic elk in eastern Idaho tests negative for chronic wasting disease. Funny how those who resist #regulations ALWAYS say: said reg would put said business out of business. If they can't afford to play by rules, they shouldn't play. idahocapitalsun.com/2025/12/01/e... #Idaho

The elk escaped less than two years after the Idaho Legislature passed a law removing a double-fencing requirement at facilities with CWD.

Michelle Wu has been playing piano since she was 4yo. She & Yo-Yo Ma played together at Symphony Hall in Boston Friday before last. Her day job is as mayor of Boston.
I think a world with more artists in positions of power would be a better world, indeed.
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday.

An honor and dream come true to perform alongside Yo-Yo Ma, presented by Celebrity Series at Boston Symphony Hall. 💜

My mom’s memory care costs north of $8K/month and it’s not by any means luxurious.
I hear the employees chat together and it’s clear that many have second jobs. Example: one was leaving the facility to go directly to another full shift at Amazon.
Terrible $ math. It’s enraging.

This is the first Thanksgiving for Sophie & Colin Hortman without their parents, Minnesota state Rep. Melissa Hortman and Mark Hortman who were assassinated along with the family dog in an act of political murder. National guards troops were not deployed to the state in response.
