I watched a 120 lb woman walking a 160 Rottweiler in Lowe’s today. It was mesmerizing. So much so, I followed them around the store.
She was a great pack leader. The dog walked slowly on a very short leash directly at her side. Terrified customers walked big circles around them.
I asked to approach as I wanted to tell her I appreciated how well-trained he was. She thanked me & said they had worked very hard to get there. It meant a lot to her that I saw it.
Look for the good & speak it.

Good luck to my friends in Oregon, Washington and Northern California with the atmospheric river, it is going to be tough.

Good morning, CoSo fam! Here’s a better closeup of Orion stretched out & napping, bathing under the Beaver Moon last night. Just made me laugh for some reason; a sky reminder that even warriors need their rest❤️💃💃💃❤️

There are several reasons to fear this could amount to a level of oligarchic corruption that outdoes anything Trump did in his first term. In short, conditions are ripe for right-wing elites to try to loot the place from top to bottom.

The lunatic is back running the asylum, and the GOP is trying to gain control of the monster that they incubated.

BEST PRESENT: Fill out The Guardian's questionnaire TODAY!
The Guardian is a great newspaper, based in Australia, and is the only paper I subscribe to now.
Tell us: have you migrated between social media platforms recently?
We would like to hear from people who have recently switched social media platforms about their reasons why.
“ The average October temperature across the contiguous U.S. was 59.0 degrees F, 4.9 degrees above the 20th-century average, ranking as the second-warmest October — behind October 1963 — in NOAA’s 130-year U.S. climate record.
Arizona, New Mexico, Texas and Utah each saw their warmest October on record. California, Colorado, Montana and Wyoming each had their second-warmest October on record, with an additional 10 states experiencing their top-10 warmest.”

Ditching #RIPTwitter to join #BlueSky is like leaping from the pan right into the fire.
It exists to emotionally manipulate you as a profit motive, just like every other social. #sadbuttrue

The financial genius;
“ Berezin cites a recent study by The Budget Lab at Yale, which estimated Trump’s tariffs would reduce real disposable income for the median U.S. household by somewhere between $1,900 and $7,600. “Even if that money were entirely funneled back into tax cuts, the net impact on aggregate demand would be negative because tariffs disproportionately hurt lower-income consumers with high marginal propensities to spend,” he says.”
