Recent New Yorker Podcast: “The Pennsylvania senator [Fetterman] says Trump is dumping “three feet of raw sewage on America” … and we Democrats have to work with Trump.

I defy ANYONE to tell me what the hell Fetterman said we could/should do. Anyone. A list of three, or two, or even one!!

Is our whole life to be lived with the undercurrent of Trump? Canada beats US in 4Nations hockey in overtime. As an American, I give kudos to all the teams. Good hockey. But It’s NOT about him and tariffs and the 51st states and undignified behavior. It’s about goddam hockey!!

Goodbye Carrie. And all the rest of you B artists.

Here's everyone performing at the presidential inauguration
Unlike Donald Trump's 2017 inauguration, which reportedly struggled to book high-profile performers, several well-known artists will partake in this year's inaugural events.

So everyone I know (blue people) are saying boycott Inauguration by not turning on your TV at all. Others saying order tickets from your representative but don’t go. Any thoughts?

It’s 35° here in Westerly. Perfect blue sky. Jeff’s cleaning leaves from the community gutters. If he can work outside, I surely can walk outside. And I do - with hoodie, parka, stocking cap, gloves, and, of course, earbuds.

Off I go, for one beautiful cold crisp hour.

Loving my Rhode Island!

Putin has terrible weekend: ruble in “free fall”; Syrian rebels overwhelm Assad forces; Ukraine bombards Crimea; protests in Tbilisi; and general massacre of Russia/North Korea assaults in Kursk. Long time before Trump/Putin bailout possible.

With Trump II already underway, I remind myself:

1. I said NO POLITICS until Jan 2025, for my own piece of mind.

2. I don’t have to have an opinion or judgement on everything going on.

3. I don’t have to suffer imagined troubles.

Thanks Buddha, Stoics, and Ron Holiday. Deep breath, relax.

Is it un-American to root for Mexico and Canada in the tariff trade war? Please, to sane red state people, did you not know this would happen? How does this help working people? Any people? Blue staters - help me!

Do a little writing here in Westerly. So on the morning of Nov 6th, I had to just write. Maybe it helps you in the trying times that are today.

I’m spending the next month figuring out why “they” and “we” are so different. I have four words I’m researching - extrinsic and intrinsic values as well as conformity and community. There are clues here! Studies abound. But nothing ‘graspable’ yet.

New to Bluesky. Follow hockey and when it gets to critical mass on Bluesky will cancel X. Can’t wait. And what’s with Threads and no lists!?! Bluesky has them right off the bat! Good to go.
