Kevin Bacon Instead Of The State Of The Union
We are being entertained by the great actor Kevin Bacon instead of watching the State of Disunion Address by the Fascist Dear Leader. For our entertainment we have chosen “Tremors” and “He Said, She Said”. Two different movies but still two of the six degrees of Kevin Bacon.
Quote Of The Day
America isn’t the way it is because he’s president. He’s president because America is the way it is.

Thought Of The Day 12152025
Donald Trump is not a good man. He is woefully incompetent and lacks the moral clarity to lead. The presidency often requires empathy and compassion, which he is incapable of. His remarks about the murder of Rob Reiner proves that point. There is no argument anyone can make to defend him as a leader or a person. I so wish that his party would have the courage to hold him accountable.
Quote Of The Day
People are tired of being lectured by men with Rolexes on CNN about affordability in this country.

I Am Taking A Serious Facebook Break
I have taken many Facebook breaks over the years. But this week I felt like I needed one because of all the political stuff happening. The murder of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk seems to have struck a nerve with lots of people, including me. Am I sad he died, no. Murder is never the problem.
But to venerate this man for his horrible politics and the things he says about people leaves me puzzled, curious and sad. I have seen happening on Facebook and yes some on Threads and Bluesky.
So many people I know personally not only digitally are reacting to this in a way that is not good for me mentally, is why I needed the break. Before something is said that fractures my long-standing relationships, I just left for good reasons.
So for the time being, I have decided to focus my connections elsewhere. There are lots of good people here on WordPress I would like to connect with more, as well as on my other socials. The most important people online, I know I can reach out to in other ways.
Let’s make this Facebook sabbatical fun and productive. Facebook, I will see you later.
