TACO Tuesday Monday

Trump always chickens out. He talked tough on Saturday, then today he’s clucking a different tune.

Trump wrote on his Truth Social site that the U.S. and Iran have had “very good and productive conversations” that could yield “a complete and total resolution” in the war.

Who’s he kidding? There aren’t any ongoing talks. He’s been all over the place with self-contradictory outbursts. We are at the mercy of an irrational, impulsive narcissist.

Trump is a freak who can’t stop himself. He is who he is. So I blame Mitch McConnell, the Supreme Court, and most of all, the millions of stupid American voters who put Trump back in power. They have made me very cynical.

Sleeping Sickness

This is my second cold in six months. Both times came after being indoors, in a crowded public place, with many people. No surprise there. As then, I checked for Covid with a negative result.

Yesterday, I must have slept 16 hours. Today, I’m on track for doing the same. This afternoon I’m finally starting to feel better.

In other personal medical news, there’s that pre-cancerous spot on my ankle. Here’s how it looked shortly after being treated with liquid nitrogen, and how it looks now. Which is pretty much how it looked when I first showed it to the dermatologist.


P.S. Colleen Doran reports that she’s tested positive for Covid after appearing at GalaxyCon in Richmond. It seems these formerly seasonal viruses have become a year-round threat.

Fly TSA

Musk offers to pay TSA salaries, as Trump floats ICE at airports

The fact that Musk is able to realistically make this offer says something significant about the concentration of wealth in America.

Trump is setting a high bar with his typically hyperbolic threat to deploy ICE agents to airports, “where they will do Security like no one has ever seen before.” Really? I was once held at gunpoint in a windowless room by airport security in Saudi Arabia.
