Nonprofit fundraiser, college instructor, arts, marketing, communications. Lifelong Democrat. Astounded by man's inhumanity to man. If only the Democrats had a "Vision 2025" document.
Distraction of the day. Front porch visitor. Geckos are so curious! And actually pretty fearless considering their size.
Buy Canadian. I’ve been doing this for a while. Also, these dark cherries are delicious.
Two counts of fraud over $100,000 each. Texas Attorney General. Great work by Talarico and his crew.
He’s a class act. I’ve made a small donation or two to his campaign, and others, to show support. But this is the first time I’ve ever received a thank-you postcard in response to a campaign donation. Good job by his marketing team as well. @jamestalarico.bsky.social
This woman should receive an Oscar for her effective interaction with this ICE agent. She knew the law, recorded everything, remained extremely calm, answered all his questions, kept asking him if he was police & at the end of the video, as soon as he consults his supervisor, she is free to go.
Sometimes Google AI has a sense of humor. "In Florida real estate, an open, undeveloped view is nothing more than a temporary placeholder until a developer writes a check." Me to Google AI: Correct! Is this a quote by someone? @craigtimes.bsky.social
According to the Huffington Post, the president recently posted this image on Truth Social (for the second time). This is absolutely unacceptable, inflammatory, and dangerous.
Major geopolitical conference held in Washington DC this month. Funny, I didn't see any media coverage except for my favorite conspiracy theory website, Vigilant Citizen. Highly recommended. The author leans right but is a good writer and always has intriguing articles.
As a friend of mine used to say, bloom where you're planted. Happy New Year 2026 and peace on earth. 🌎
Greetings and happy holidays from Florida! Golden hour and white pelicans at a nearby lake last Wednesday.
Lol usually I skip over the intro video to the one I wanted to see, but this seems like the perfect song for the purpose. Thanks to Ford for the placement and to the country music musicians.
What the heck is going on with iPhone AI transcription for phone messages??!! This is an actual transcription of a voicemail I received this morning. It was from a salesperson responding to my inquiry about a preowned car at nearby Honda dealership.
Forget the black-and-white glamour shots. Here's one that shows him looking really awkward in the standard ICE gear.
It's possible you may not have much in common, but the Tampa International Airport has a really great personality as well.
Here's a look at the crowd at the memorial. It's a pretty consistent demographic.
Apparently the home page initial view from my laptop (Bondi & Homan stories first) and the view from mobile phones of people posting on Bluesky (multiple stories about Kirk first) are different.
