That’s a wrap for me on the Mass Center for the Book’s #readingchallenge this year! 📚 Have to say I appreciate December’s prompt is “Another book by an author you’ve already read” over last year’s “A well-reviewed book in your least favorite genre” 😆

Today we finally put the gardens to bed. Cut down cover crop and spread tops out on the beds, moved leaves into them and tucked them in with remay. Harvested the last of the kale, thinned the parsley and sage. I think this the latest harvest season we’ve had!

This is the only good use of Grok I’ve seen so far.
Since JD Vance says Grok is the best, least woke chatbot, I asked Grok why he has low approval ratings.

Oh shocker. After over 40 days of limbo, it’s politics as usual. Inserting personal gain into the bill and switched votes by those that have no skin in the game anymore.

My wife and I pay for life insurance even though we have never died. I pay for fire insurance even though my house has never burned down. That's not because we want to throw money at insurance companies. It's because THAT'S HOW INSURANCE WORKS.

Trump admin tells states to “undo” food stamp benefits: “To the extent States sent full SNAP payment files for November 2025, this was unauthorized. Accordingly, States must immediately undo any steps taken to issue full SNAP benefits for November 2025.“

This needs to stop
You are about to see harrowing footage of a father in Fitchburg, MA being brutalized by masked ICE agents while holding his terrified, crying baby.
The Trump admin and every ICE agent who terrorizes our communities must be held to account for their inhumane, illegal actions.

#SNAP #SNAPfunding
#SNAP #SNAPfunding
The federal government has the money to continue funding SNAP benefits — they’re choosing to suspend it and harm millions of families across the country already struggling to make ends meet.
I’m leading a lawsuit against the Trump Administration to release these funds immediately.
