I hear people say that Trump is incoherent in his actions and we shouldn't take him literally. Add up all the noise he has made since taking office for the 2nd time. I believe his plan is to create a super continent of USA, by incorporating Canada and Greenland, 1/3

The assaults on immigrants and any American who does not look 'White enough' is just the beginning. Trump is gearing up to disrupt the 2026 election by preventing those who do not approve of his autocratic kleptocracy from voting.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

The news of FIFA awarding the peace prize today reminds me of that time in 1966 when I was awarded the Kelloggs Peace Prize. They were kind enough to send it to me in a box of Sugar Smacks.

Rare visit from a heron in the garden today. We get a visit about once a year. There is a sizeable lake about 8km away.

He gave plenty of indicators as to where he was heading.
The year is 2003.
17-year-old Stephen Miller is sitting in the back of a school bus talking about torture, as in “Torture is a celebration of human life and dignity."
Miller looks directly into the camera and describes the torturing Iraqis in gruesome detail, as his peers laugh uncomfortably.

I regularly donate to wikipedia and will now push a bit more towards them.
1/5 Elon Musk and David Sacks are attacking Wikipedia again.
They say they will replace it with “Grokipedia.”
Why? Because quick, free, independent fact-checking is their enemy.
They cannot control it. And that terrifies them

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

With all that's going on in the world right now, this 65 year old is starting to struggle mentally. I find myself looking for little boosts, however small. Today I reminded myself that this aeonium was rescued from Storm damage 2 years ago, it was almost dead. Look at it now.

I listen to music a lot, maybe 3-4 hours a day. I rarely watch TV, music is my go to thing.
A few days ago I stumbled upon this piece by Lee Abraham and was blown away by it. I have listened to it over 50 times now. An incredible piece and I feel the need to share.
