In a matter of days, MAGA media figures have gone from defending President Donald Trump as God’s chosen president to making the case that he is actually the antichrist. “In 18 months I went from hesitantly voting for Trump to thinking there’s a decent chance he’s the antichrist,” added Clint Russell, host of the right-wing Liberty Lockdown podcast. “I genuinely believe Trump is currently demon possessed,” far-right Texas pastor Joel Webbon wrote on X. Hours later, Webbon hosted a livestream where he and several others discussed: “Is Donald Trump the Anti-Christ?” The Knights Templar Order, a Christian organization based on a medieval military order, wrote of the post that they had “no other choice but to condemn it wholeheartedly and ask for a public apology.” From Wired: https://archive.is/DtrnW#selection-1773.0-1797.107 <== These are popcorn emojis

It is great that people are using their power. Hope they continue to do that instead of feeling powerless.

I have synthetic cartilage in my big toe joint. Maybe that will become suitable for knees and hips.

Facebook report. I can't get used to the site. Not only that but it was sending me notifications every hour. I looked on YouTube for how to turn notifications off. I've turned off every notification category. I'll probably keep the app for a few months. I'm pretty sure I won't benefit from access to it after that and will remove it. I don't know why Zorba hated it so much. I never asked him. I myself think it's very strange. As a child of the '70's we were raised in a time when you kept all your personal information and especially information about your children private. I know a lot of people like FB. I'm old school though in appreciating the function of anonominity vis a vis internet communication (socks and all that). I don't feel like telling FB to **** off but I can't get used to the idea either.

I'll get the cite for you, jon. No problem. It was some Bizzaro legislation but it happened. Apologize for the delay. Very busy, high stress in my house. I'll focus on it.

@wtg Would you please tell us for people who aren't that familiar with Chicago (like myself) about the Old Town neighborhood?

@jon-nyc Because being judgemental is more fun?

I'm trying to stay away from political topics but this would be a fitting quote for him to engrave on his tombstone.

Where's that Andrew Young? We need to talk universal basic income.

Looks amazing. Off topic but I was thinking about Charles III's famous garden at Highgrove (Georgian FTW) of course now owned by William with the ironic and strange twist that on the King's Duchy there exists a revenue producing toxic waste dump with a neighborhood next door who have tried and tried and failed to have the environmental situation remedied while their health deteriorates. I guess the scandal now is that he isn't seen to be the Defender of the Church and William doesn't seem all that interested in the role. I'd like to have a garden but don't think it's in the cards.

I didn't, actually. "Can you afford it?" Well if I could, I'd be living there. On second thought, the library is perfect. The main thing I don't like is the kitchen island. I'd make it minimalist, change it to stone, make it parallel to the wall with the stove, get rid of the bar stools, and then put a rectangular table parallel to the island.
