Had a last minute cancelled flight Maine to Newark, so I tried #UnitedAirlines online booking with miles. Kept thwarting me. Called and the gentleman in India insisted my best shot was for $1,000 and a ton of miles. Book now because this might be the last seat. Better deal thru Expedia, but still🙄

Ol’ Chief Justice, why so sad? Or is this just performative remorse? I had you pegged for a better man than this, I really did. You put on a convincing show, relative to some of your cohorts.

I never throw away onion or garlic skins or tops n’ tips or so many other peels and things that used to go straight into the compost. Now they only get after I’ve cooked every living flavor and nutrient out of em. Use that broth for rice or pasta or whatever ails ya!

Remember when being a bully or a conceited braggart got you banned from society? What happened? When did that change? I feel this wretched little rich, spoiled brat somehow managed to turn the world upside down. How did so many people fall for something so rotten at its core?

So, I just wanna know, when you’re at a concert, having paid for good seats, and you end up sitting behind someone who has their phone out recording every other song… Are they recording it so they can court envy by posting it, or to look back with nostalgia, at the memory of what they missed.

With all the diabolical hand wringing and subsequent slashing of DEI policies (because they are just so unfair to straight white men?)… if fairness is indeed the issue, then when are we going after the Electoral College?

Planning to sculpt Abe out of a big chunk of oak this spring/summer. As soon as the barn and frozen shoulder thaws a bit. Meanwhile these studies help keep me focused on how strong and good humans are capable of being.

Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration. He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions). Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom. And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ. Remember this.

A sitcom pilot that was a little too cutting edge for the 80s. But such entertaining memories of palling around with Frank, jetting off to lunch in his rent-a-Mercedes convertible as he played Patti Lupone tapes for me and I played the Pogues for him:)

Yesterday our unbelievably sweet little girl turned the epically profound age of sixteen, with, I am overjoyed to report, her sweetness still intact! We have raised her, but she comes from the land of milk and honey. Rowan Amara Berkeley, we are so proud of you, may you stay forever kind. ❤️💙🌹

It is an extraordinary challenge to find the balance between holding this administration accountable, standing up and being heard… and still remaining positive and an agent of light in the world.

Blumenthal after getting briefed on Iran: "We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of the potential objectives here. There's also the specter of active Russian aid to Iran putting in danger American lives ... China also may be assisting Iran"
