    Idle Thought: I say that instead of vaccines we ban RFK Jr.

    @TheEddieShow Love Filipino food! Yes, my wife of 46 years is a Filipina! 😉 A recommended video. Would love to try out this place one day.

    @GottaLaff May their tears of loss mix in everlasting ... bad stuff. 😏

    @alexwild Had cottonwood trees in our yard when I was growing up, so these are instantly recognizable to me.

    Idle Thought: Were I a billionaire I&amp;#39;d have far, far, far better uses for my money than donating to politicians. I&amp;#39;d never be a megadonor.

    @nathans Elmo is such a tease.

    Idle Thought: From cable TV to YouTube, it&amp;#39;s impossible to escape those St. Jude&amp;#39;s fundraising commercials. Mind you, it&amp;#39;s a fine institution, as far as I know. But last I read it&amp;#39;s already sitting on cash equal to five years operating at its present burn rate. The commercials must run a few hundred times a night on cable alone, and I&amp;#39;m growing damned annoyed by them.

    @chris I&amp;#39;ll find something on streaming to watch, check the net occasionally for some results.

    @GottaLaff Better safe than sorry. Make the results air tight.

    @GottaLaff About time the US permitted Ukraine to fire on Moscow. 😏

    Will be avoiding cable TV for the most part this evening. Especially Kornacki. A good guy, for all I know, but he just annoys the hell out of me. Makes me feel like I&amp;#39;m watching an NFL game, and he&amp;#39;s the hyper-dramatic color commentary. 😂

    So many “projections” to choose from.

    @GayDeceiver Because America was never what we thought it was, what we were taught to believe in.

    I’ve often reflected on how I was far more happy when I was young and totally disinterested in politics. Pretty much decided a couple years back I would try to return to that after this vote, win or lose. At my age I need to enjoy my remaining days, not live in a giant angst bubble

    @JonChevreau True. But I quit Facebook a few years back. Twitter is history. My use of Mastodon is nowhere near my former presence on Twitter. I still post travel pics on Instagram. I check national headlines, but don’t subscribe. Might be easier than we think.

    @silviar Being young then made it easier. Always focused on my personal future: college, military, wondering about marriage and family, etc. Too busy to worry about politics. Still, will give it a whirl.

    @JonChevreau That, too! 👍

    I was wrong. The Constitution IS a suicide pact. Peace out.
