Virginians made the right choice! 🙂
In her victory speech, Virginia Governor-elect Abigail Spanberger (D) sent a message of unity.
“We sent a message to the whole world that in 2025, Virginia chose pragmatism over partisanship. We chose our commonwealth over chaos,” Spanberger said. https://wapo.st/49lsfnl

Be careful with Ozempic. My dad did ok with it apparently but I had tons of vomiting on Day 1 🤮 and fatigue on Day 2. It does mostly stop your hunger and my meals are lighter. Would probably do a lower dose or an alternate given the harsh side effects. 😣

After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

As Pride month comes to a close, I’m happy to say I attended celebrations in both Boston and San Francisco. This came after years of doing very little for Pride. I even visited the legendary gay bar Stonewall Inn, a major site in LGBTQ history. Here’s a pic at nearby Christopher Park. Happy Pride! 🏳️🌈

Many predicted a Trump/Musk falling out and I’m not sure it will last, but I’m certainly enjoying the show. 🤣
President Trump escalated his fast-growing feud with Elon Musk, saying he has gone “CRAZY.”
“The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts,” Trump wrote.
