Look. Here’s the deal. Now is really not a good time for us. We just can’t do this right now.

So, what you’re telling me is the entire Republican Party is now all in on creating an authoritarian regime and overthrowing democracy? No one else has a problem with this? Just the libtards? That seems like a stretch.

I think that, once again, no one is minding the store. No one is paying attention.

Zombies don’t make any kind of sense, but the fact they’re somehow hungry for human flesh defies all manner of logic. Why would they be hungry?

And they usually move slow and seem stupid, so why are they so ravenous? Wouldn’t they just sort of gum you to death? Nonstop nibbling. Why the violence?

The crazy thing is they’re tanking the economy all on their own. It’s entirely self-inflicted. There’s no new war or pandemic. They’re CREATING a global economic disaster.

For what purpose, again?

@WarnerCrocker That’s my whole spiel in a nutshell.

So many business leaders claim they want to be known as leaders in their field, but few are willing to be out in front. They hide in the relative safety of the middle, trying their best to blend in, afraid to be noticed as different. That’s not leadership.

The most attractive thing in human beings is the confidence to be yourself. It’s no different with brands. Companies that are unapologetically themselves are the very ones thought of as iconic.

Be iconic.

Face it. We’re the baddies now.

“The function of a civil resistor is to provoke a response, and we will continue to provoke until they respond or they change the law. They are not in control. We are.”

~ Mohandas K. Gandhi, from the movie “Gandhi”

Do people just call other people anymore? I feel like I need to text people first or have something scheduled. I rarely just call someone unannounced.

@WarnerCrocker Good question. For that matter, do they miss drifting?

When I canceled my subscriptions to NY Times and the Washington Post after the election, I was hopeful that they might turn it around and re-earn our business. Alas, Bezos seems intent on running The Post into the ground and I’m not sure what the Times is up to.

I still wish for a crowd-funded independent media operation to rise and take over. Never gonna happen. In which case, a benevolent billionaire could set up a blind trust to fund one? Something?

The News is in real trouble.

@WarnerCrocker It’s a Studio Display. My old Cinema Display finally shit the bed. It’s quite nice.

I got a new Apple Display. It’s updating the firmware and it really doesn’t look like what I’m used to seeing from Apple. It’s very disconcerting.

Stern warnings about not unplugging and keeps rebooting itself then showing scary symbols.

Nervously waiting for it to finish and give me back my monitor.

It all worked out. #apple

It began as a hot take in my diary. A minor annoyance concerning the state of the world. Then everything went sideways for me and I found myself on the wrong side of things. This is my journey back.

Any time I even THINK of getting back into the fray, they do some crazy ass shit I can’t even comprehend, like confirm Kash Patel to head the FBI, and fire 700 IRS agents. What the hell am I supposed to do with that?

If you were ever thinking of turning to a life of crime, now’s your chance. Just make sure to hang a big MAGA flag out front of your house and everything will be fine.

My humble requests this evening (through tomorrow), in order of importance:

Request No.1: I’m not killed.
Request No.2: No trees crush my house.
Request No.3: No trees fall down in my yard.
Request No.4: We don’t lose power.

Fucking wind. #wind

I have no answers to our ongoing crisis, but this is where I am. Doing what I can do with the tools available to me.

Every year, without fail, I am surprised by my own birthday. This is not a fishing exercise or a bit of mock humility. It’s almost pathological. I’m heading up the road to visit my 82-yo mother today to celebrate, but yesterday, I didn’t think about it once. This morning, I was alerted because I began getting social media notices. It’s like not even the date alerts me.

I don’t think this is that unusual, but every goddamn year?

Fifty-eight. Ugh.

P.S. The snow is already gone.
