if you're 150-years old and collecting social security benefits, wow. first, props to living that long. second, awesome for getting yourself into the system that wasn't invented yet. third, are these people truly this stupid?
today, i ran in the rain. seems like such a small thing, but it about being present, aware of every movement because i needed to take off my glasses. an hour of just being in each moment. negotiating the environment. couldn't be angry, couldn't be worried, couldn't think about my first meeting.
have you contacted your congressperson today? is their voicemail full? is their staff clueless? are they pretending they have never heard of leon? if you can't get through, an office visit is just fine.
this album holds up (though i am old).
amazing editing. the whole thing was well done (and i can forgive the omission of the replacements...hard to slip in a train wreck, and i'm sure they're fine with that.
having been through way too many efficiency exercises in my career, the one thing i've learned is that slashing staff isn't efficiency. let's stop pretending this is anything but a coup.
me: in which white men learn they are seriously unqualified for the jobs they didn't get while blaming dei. have seen so many men failing upward in my career.
i watched a friend make guacamole without cumin. or onions. or lime. i so wanted to grab the avocado from her hands, but i was raised right. (also totally with you on the tomatoes)
first, though, tell me what dei is because i'm seeing a lot of people working for the current administration without any qualifications. how did they get their jobs? (i know the answer -- white men, mostly)
man, if i had the time to write a dozen memos in a day... seriously, don't these people have jobs?
this is why we quite the NYT (and the washington post, now thinking the la times based on recent editorial decisions).
@courtneymilan.com not wrong. i get a lot of cardio (need to be better about strength training, sigh), due to weird work schedules this week, couldn't hit my normal levels. while my physical health didn't suffer, my mental health was on the stabby side. not moving is a key indicator of poor health.
this is an interesting question. swedish meatballs are totally a 4 pm food in the winter.
it's always nice when your government is so focused on, checks notes, eliminating dei that it removes actual information designed to help all citizens. so far, the revenge and anger administration is doing an awesome job of...doing absolutely nothing for americans.
and, sigh, he won the evangelical vote.
so excited that the current president turned on the pipes/valves/tubes/whatever to get that water flowing from somewhere to somewhere else. or, rather, just turning on a system that was shut down for repair.
trying to make this week as normal as possible. people scheduling 7 am meetings clearly don't understand what i mean by normal.
story of my life.
story of my life.
not sure your favorite president knows he's raising prices for every coffee addict in the country. also not sure he cares.
sigh?
did already reply? thought this past week was when is it coming back. then, sigh, it's not. bad motion picture environment. and, i guess, only a few of us cared enough.
luckily, we have an administration that is laser-focused on, you know, us.
so, yeah, fema. that liberal concept where the nation comes together to help those who need our government the most. so many citizens in so many states will suffer from a lack of collective contributions.
confused, as usual. didn't jim jordan spend four years targeting the weaponization of goverment against his kind? how is that the new administration has to undergo the same exercise. seems like we need a department that, well, focuses on efficiency.
so, like, the money my state pays the federal government would be better off...kept in my state? sure. happy to do that. sorry, all of those states who don't contribute as much.
and today i was wondering if this show would ever come back. because yes.
restarted 2025 yesterday. not going as well as planned.
tomorrow, i face the biggest challenged of my admittedly privileged life: cleaning the refrigerator and freezer after 10 days of no electricricity. something tells me this is going to excite the cats in weird ways.
used more polite phrasing, but told an uninformed a-hole he doesn't know a damn thing about the makeup of the la county (or city) firefighting force. or a damn thing about dei. and, well, that maybe he should stop getting his news from fake sources. not being nice. sorry ma, taking out the trash.
