Picked Mikster and her mom up from Harry Reid airport last evening, Route takes you by the Sphere.
A Way Out...READING
Doing some historical work, maybe there are insights.
Rick Perlstein in The Infernal Triangle on what Trump did which turned out to release US cruelty.
"Cognitive decline" and "disinhibition," all too often, become our ritual alibi for how effectively Trump was inviting his supporters to revel in the pleasure of his unmitigated cruelty, licensing them to practice such cruelty themselves—which they are now all too free to do.
One strategy I might follow is embracing CHAOS THEORY.
When much around us becomes rather chaotic, it will be helpful to have a framework for understanding.
Find the patterns, the threads, which give balance to your world.
Judd Legum on Kushner's complicity...
This is just what we know and can see, again, remember an ICEBERG.
I don't know about you, but I'm finding I'm having to remind myself to take deep breaths.
Not all the time, but I'm still in pause mode about the USA.
Two massive skyscrapers running in parallel, dubbed “the Line,” were dramatically scaled down from a planned 105 miles long to 1.5 miles. They were intended to anchor the $500 billion megacity.

THE PROBLEM WITH MONEY...
It's never enough
Saudi Arabia’s ambitious quest to build a dazzling metropolis in the desert hit yet another snag: The CEO of the Neom development, Nadhmi al-Nasr, has quit unexpectedly, the Wall Street Journal reported yesterday.
His resignation comes as the pet project of the country’s de facto ruler, Mohammed bin Salman, has faced cost overruns and engineering challenges.

Somehow, I think we're going to be reminded of that ol' Jerry Reed quote from Smokey and the Bandit I where he looks over to his dog and says,
HOLD ON TO YOUR ASS, FRED!

My oldest son loved playing with My Little Pony
My Little Pony finally made it to the winner’s circle.
After years as an also-ran, the pastel-colored ponies were enshrined in the National Toy Hall of Fame on Tuesday, along with Transformers action figures and the Phase 10 card game.

Bring me your tired, your forlorn, and I will transform them...
Ken-Dogger: Morning Ajax, what up?
Ajax: It's about to go down...
KD: Wha...just cause the Mikster's home? You think that changes my behavior?
A: Yep...
KD: Well, there ain't as much 'change' as there used to be, I've lost a little giddy up.
A: 'Bout time, was wondering when that shift was occurring.
KD: That shift tends to be more bent when the Mikster's home.
A: It's called accommodation, it does a married body good.
Could we reshoot the beginning of the movie RED DAWN?
But this time we'll show the American-Russians already on the ground and infiltrated.
Intolerance is not the same as choosing what you will tolerate.
QOTD: What is the official date the US Democrats turn over their control of the World's climate to the Republicans?
And will there be a parade?
That article from Bill Press I posted yesterday talked about this voting group of non-college educated white males, a significant voting bloc for Trump.
As I was processing Press' point, it came to me about all this Resettlement effort.
This non-college educated group of white males, frustrated, under employed and misogynistic would make a 'wonderful' employment source for all the Resettlement Camps.
Are there historical references for this?
Who is tracking any uptick in BABBEL subscriptions since the US election?
Suddenly, US citizens see a need to be bilingual.
