More than 200,000 Danish citizens have signed a petition to buy California as a response to Trump’s attempt to take Greenland.
They say they will provide Californians with “rule of law, universal health care, fact-based politics, and a lifetime supply of Danish pastries.”

And now Minneapolis, rightly, drives Epstein out of the headlines. They will escalate relentlessly to keep public and congressional and media focus shifted away from the Epstein files.

The White House has launched a webpage to report "media bias" tips. It would be a pity if it were flooded with tips about every show on Fox News.

Bought a TV antenna because of the Google Disney contract spat. Just like in prehistoric times, network channels fly through the air to my set, in HD no less. Astounding.

The election was so reassuring. Whew! And now back to the Epstein files! Because the government is shut down, the new Congresswoman is still unseated, and people are going hungry and unpaid and losing health care because of one hypocrite of a Speaker who fears the pedophile with a mighty fear.

Because Google and Disney are not rich enough, Monday Night Football is not available. I am an old lady. I need Dancing With The Stars live, not on HULU the next day. Harumph.

Nothing to do about this huge network outage. The only thing up and running is BlueSky, so I’m posting and going to bed to read a paperback book, as if the clock had just turned back 50 years and “Our long national nightmare is over” was once again the good news.

The Liberal govt interfered on the side of management by making the announcement about Canada Post when they did. The union was in negotiations and was getting ready to finally be allowed to present a counter contract offer. The announcement scuttled that. This is anti-labour bs.

The price for dry cleaning a blouse here is now $10.95. For the first time since I became an adult I am laundering and ironing. Okay, it’s better for the environment. But still…$10.95.

Stephen Miller is right to fear “elderly white hippies.” We’ve kicked out two Presidents (remember Nixon and Johnson?) so far and we’re not done. Boomers may be a generational disappointment overall, but we know how to do this one thing and we’re on it, folks.
