.@kenmartin73 @TheDemocrats The US lasted 248 years - not too bad. But now the Constitution is shredded, civil rights gone, and foreign relationships badly broken. A few small outposts of resistance - Berkeley, Boulder, Cambridge - remain, but's it's all over but the shouting.

.@kenmartin73 @TheDemocrats You guys are much too late. In just 12 days, King Felon has turned what was once the US into the Kingdom of Trumpistan, controlling the military, the Treasury, and more, with a submissive Congress and no plans to obey court orders.

We made it through 2024. I hope that we can say the same for 2025. Happy New Year!

Sorry to hear that Rickey Henderson died today at age 65. He was exciting to watch and set the all-time record for lead-off home runs. Here's one of them - when he was with the Red Sox on 27 April 2002 - Derek Lowe threw a no-hitter.

Henry Ford was a big supporter of Hitler & the Nazi party in the 1930s. Our family is in its 5th generation of car owners - 90+ years - without anyone owning a @Ford. Never forget. Something for @elonmusk to keep in mind as he pushes his political views on potential car buyers.

Looks as if there is a mismatch between those of us who drive @Tesla vehicles and those who voted for Elon's guy. Maybe his marketing strategy is to sell more of his cars to people in red states. My 2019 Model 3 is OK (too long), but I won't buy another one.

Very pleased to see front page @WSJ article naming likely candidates for White House and Cabinet positions in @KamalaHarris administration. They see that the Former Guy is in deep doodoo. @KamalaHQ

I'm very sorry that Willie Mays has died, just a day before the @SFGiants @MLB game at historic Rickwood Field in Birmingham where he played for the Negro League Black Barons at age 18. I don't have many sports heroes, but he was one. My photo from 1983: flic.kr/p/kgetfg

The war criminal Henry Kissinger has died. I'm waiting to see where he will be buried so that I can go dance on his grave. #Kissinger #Nixon #Vietnam #Laos #WarCrimes

Does anyone think that The Grabber will pay Ms. Carroll the $5M judgment? Does anyone think that he will stop defaming her on his personal social media account? #TFG #trial #SexualAbuse

More deaths by gunfire in #Texas, so many that @GovAbbott doesn't have to write any more phony expressions of grief. I'm sure he already has a bunch of fill-in-the-blank templates with [date], [city], [number killed] [number injured], [shooter status] for routine press releases.

Save your work very often if you are trying to use @Intuit @TurboTax on the Mac. It has hung and crashed on me, and has other bugs. Worst release in 35 years and I used MacInTax with a dot-matrix printer at the beginning. I need working software, not gamification and badges.

Nice! The first place Oakland @Athletics beat Shohei @Ohtani_MLB and the LA @Angels and it only took 2:30. No more pitchers grooming the pitching mound! Thanks to @MLB for the rules changes.

Too bad the @SFGiants lost to the NY @Yankees on #OpeningDay. The good news is that the game only lasted 2:34, at least 30 minutes less than it would have gone last year. That's how long games lasted when I was a kid. Thanks @MLB. No more #glove adjustments on every pitch. Hooray
