I still think Trump is working for the Russians. Trump administration redirects 20,000 anti-drone missiles meant for Ukraine, Zelensky confirms
I keep a couple of cookbooks in reserve. But all I ever really do these days is either heat stuff up or some simple frying. You can’t really call it cooking.

I really hate it when links to articles shared online lead to paywalls and register walls. Don’t share the link if it’s walled or at least warn me.
Good morning. Coffee. I may do drive thru McDonald’s for breakfast.
Scanning the news headlines and timelines. Our society spends an awful lot of time talking about trivial stuff happening among the elites, who said what, how they feel, and very little on matters of substance.
Today I learned that biologically humans are more closely related to fungi than we are to bacteria. Fungi. This explains so much.

Good morning. Coffee = happiness. Inner debate about what to have for 1st breakfast.
Directory side: 3 commercial scum spam submissions: something in an Asian lang., drugs and a pet store. I think my blabbing about the directory got me on the spam radar so no more directory updates here.
This was pointed out elsewhere: Notice how ICE is not raiding Tyson Foods, mega-corp meat packing industries, Mar a Largo, other swanky hotels and resorts where the rich and famous stay? Instead they seem to be focusing on the employees of mom and pop businesses that are too small to fight back.

New to me on XTwitter: Tried to retweet something and got a message I’d reached my daily limit unless I gave them my phone number. Pound sand XTwitter. Pound sand. Ain’t gonna happen.
Good morning. Coffee. Hot. Black. It’s supposed to rain most of the day.
