Firstly, a Big Fat NO to Trump and all he stands for.
I make music on the computer. I also play Minecraft on the computer, even though I'm old. I do a lot of typing on the computer, as well. I'm on Team Landscape with regard to photo orientation. (he/him)

Mad at Sen. Schumer? Watch this first.
"People who have never seen or heard a majority or minority leader of the Senate actually try to persuade a senator on how to vote seem to think that it's easy. If you haven't worked in the Senate you haven't actually seen it happen."

Cause when alarmist content goes viral & positive posts get 5 likes, it engineers our brains to think doom is rewarding & positivity is not. 🧵

2025 RECAP: From installing an anti-vax conspiracy theorist as our nation's top health care official to taking an axe to lifesaving biomedical research, the Trump administration has systematically put politics over science.

There are a lot of people out there working extremely hard to get our roads open, in challenging conditions and during the holidays. I appreciate their work.

I just watched a songwriting video that recommended Roget's *INTERNATIONAL* Thesaurus over others (demonstrating how it's better for compare/contrast) so I moved the Oxford Thesaurus back to the bedroom bookshelf to make space in the songwriting bookshelf in the living room for Roget's.

Disgraceful, then again, that is what we expect almost every time from this Government. Just pitiful.
Not only does this intentionally violate the First Amendment to the US Constitution, it’s vile to watch mean-spirited, selfish ghouls who starve the poor and kidnap people for their skin color sanctimoniously pretending they follow any of the teachings of Jesus.

Highlights:
-Puritans are the source of much New England wealth
-Part of the inspiration to separate Church & State, besides avoiding religious wars that plagued Europe, was to throw off Puritans attempts to control others

Trump says affordability is a “con job” and a “fake narrative” — but only 26% of Americans approve of how he’s handling the cost of living.
Bottom line: Trump doesn’t care if you can’t afford to feed your family or pay your bills. He’s getting rich, and that’s all that matters.

All because Donald Trump wants to kill cheap, renewable energy.
Want to know who will pay the price for Trump's job killing cancellations?
