Something new for the acolytes to kiss "All told, 321 diamonds, 56 sapphires, 13 emeralds and six rubies encrust the watch-sized gold ring presented this week to Bill White, the U.S. ambassador to Belgium, to give to U.S. President Donald Trump."

My lovely, hard working friend Rebecca Gilbert of C.C. Stern Type Foundry in Clatskanie (www.metaltype.org) just shared these two “Steal Time to Write" prompts they printed for the recent Clatskanie Raymond Carver Writing Festival and they are just so good, I had to pass them along. #letterpress
What is up with the notion of progress? #gallup news.gallup.com/poll/711842/...
I just realized who creepy Scott Bessent reminds me of. The homicidal ventriloquist's dummy, Fats, from the movie Magic. Seriously, just give it some wire rim glasses and the look would be complete. #bessent
The latest con by Grifty McGrift, laid out by his underling for the consumption by Republican senators. 1776 my ass. 🧐 #grift

Okay, so Trump is bored. Maybe someone in his administration should talk to the Iranian-American citizens who want something else. Today from a protest at Federal Building in West Los Angeles

The goon squads in America's airports. All in their ragtag militia regalia. Many reports that their presence is making no difference in wait times for TSA. #sothisisMAGA?
This MF is wearing a lapel pin that depicts HIMSELF at the Black History Month event today. #25thfor47
In keeping with the pink Nipple Compass from Chiat Day for the first PST.
I find it utterly baffling that Trump is rated so highly by Republicans. Can they not see with their own eyes and hear with their own ears what he does and says? Can they really be this brainwashed by Fox News and Truth Social?
Why are these right wing clickbait ads embedded in your op-ed online? Isn't it undermining, even disturbing, that the NYT blithely pops them into your column?
Worth reading Nick Schifrin's post about the rant to Norway, which was also sent to several European ambassadors, with the equivalent salutations of "Dear Sir or Ma'am." Completely mental. If this isn't cause for bipartisanship, I don't know what is. #25thfor47
