I mostly share people smarter & more articulate than I. Sarcasm & inappropriate humor likely. Music helps me remain sane in a world that is not. Peace.

"The president has already announced that if a judge does rule against him, he will invoke the Insurrection Act and then continue the military deployments. This is where we’ve been headed since January 6, 2021.”

Sorry, wish I could give you sage advice from an old. I only use social media for news and time wasting… never expected anything out of it, but have come across some nice people.

Find your peace, we would miss you, but understand.

Both Newsom & Pritzker threatening to pullout of the NGA is significant. TX gov Abbot is an outlier. Most governors know to play nice or they will be out.

If you'd like to delight in a side-by-side comparison, here's Bari Weiss' reported note to CBS staffers (left) and the one I cooked up on ChatGPT with a quickly dashed-off prompt (right). Looking forward to hearing from you in the days and weeks ahead!

You work hard as a journalist. You lead with empathy, and you sweat details. You operate in good faith. You believe in honesty and truth. You get yelled at by the president of the United States. You worry that you'll get laid off. Again and again.

And then you see this. www.wsj.com/business/med...

Weiss, who once said she was done with legacy media, is to take control of CBS News’s editorial vision, aiming for “news that reflects reality.”
