From my side of the pond, good night. It's been a fine day here. Cherish them when you're blessed with them. 🤗

One more time. For emphasis.

We all get weary and sometimes question whether the effort is worth it.

I have to believe that ultimately, yes, it is worth it. To think otherwise would be to give into the worst of those among us.

How does this serial raping, tax evading, 91 charge criminally indicted con man insurrectionist continue to have a hammer lock on the Republican Party? I really want to know.

Trump suggests there will 'probably be some changes made' in RNC leadership.

Watch your six, Ronna.

Found elsewhere. It's that time of the year. 🍪 (Click the photo...)

The oh-so-simple fix to any future Social Security & Medicare funding shortfall in the US is to remove the income cap. I don't care if you make $10K a year or $10B. Everyone pays in proportionate to their income. Problem immediately solved. Next?

I don't know that I've figured everything out in my geezerhood, but I've figured out how to separate the things that matter and the things that don't. Maybe not to perfection, but I'm better at it today than I was 10 years ago.

I've done my best for years to keep my online profile low. This includes personal photos & geospecific information. I use a VPN service for most of my online interactions. Can I be found IRL? Of course. There's no one who uses the web who can't be. But you can minimize risk.

Taylor Swift has MAGAts panties in a knot and I'm so there for it.

I'm not even a Swiftie. Just knowing someone with her reach and influence can drive MAGAts insane is a thing of beauty.

It's been a day. My peeps on the other side of the pond are long nighty nite. On my side of the pond, I'm not. Yet. Give me another wee dram. Today could end quickly. 😜

6th fairway at sunset tonight.

See you tomorrow! #CoSoGolf

I still can't process how the media has accepted that death penalty by asphyxiation - and make no mistake, that's what putting a prisoner in a nitrogen chamber is all about - is normal. How does that not meet the constitutional definition of "cruel and unusual punishment"?

Maybe even more to the point, is this a Republican "test run"? Someone had to be the first nazi gas chamber victim.

Putting a death row inmate to death by suffocating them doesn't seem that far removed.

This is what #NASA could do long before Eloon was a glimmer in the universe's eye.

RIP, Ingenuity. We'll bring you back some day. Hell of a mission well done.

After events over the past 48 hours, anyone telling me that dip💩 TFG isn't running a shadow government can kiss my reality.

The very first thing that should have happened at 12:01PM on 1/20/2021 was to oust every government SES grade employee who was appointed during the Trnmp admin. Not doing so was a strategic, not tactical, unforced error by Team Biden. We're still dealing with the backscatter of not doing so > 3 years hence.

Good morning, Nauts! I'm up early this morning - day trip to Disney World on tap for today. 🎉🐭

Make it a great Thursday...

That person that you think about every day.

The one that got away.

An old buddy showed up on the 8th hole today.

Be the leader you want someone like me to be.

My stripes are retired. The guidon is yours.

On reflection, I'm online less & less these days. I don't think it's giving up, per se. It's the realization that my time in the political realm has passed. I did my best to secure the future for my kids & those who come after me (related or not).

It's time for me to turn the page. Kids, you own this now.
