Trump at 80:
There's a new book making waves in Washington, and it's pulling back the curtain on a side of Donald Trump that his team would rather keep quiet. Regime Change: Inside the Imperial Presidency of Donald Trump, written by New York Times journalists Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan, paints a detailed picture of a president showing the unmistakable signs of aging — and fighting hard to control the narrative around it.

Social Aggression Is Still Aggression (Part 2). AI-Generated.
(Time-Stamped Video Clip Summary: From 18:34-22:39, the call shifts from a normal pricing question into something more revealing. Tomi is asking basic questions about a $40,000 vehicle: the rebate, the in-person discount, the actual out-the-door number, and whether the dealership will confirm the deal over the phone. Instead of simply clarifying the pricing, the manager personalizes the resistance, later calling him “difficult” and “combative” before introducing the “male manager” implication herself. The clip matters because it shows how aggression does not always appear as yelling, threats, or force. Sometimes it appears as passive aggression, motive-reading, moral accusation, and emotional pressure used to control the frame of the conversation.)

Wedding Bell
“Mild, hot, or fire?” the cashier asked, handing my husband the tray of tacos. “All of them,” my husband replied, grabbing the tray to bring it to the table, where I sat with our son. Our son was five at the time. Both of my men love Mexican food. How did that happen? I was never a Mexican food aficionado, but here I was, sitting at Taco Bell, getting fast-food tacos.

The Outrage Economy
It is ironic how similar the structures are on both sides. ActBlue and WinRed may serve opposite political teams, but they operate within the same kind of incentive system: turn moral outrage into money, lists, mobilization, and political power.

The Fear Machine: How Clickbait Culture Controls the Masses
I wrote this, created, and edited this article. As always I guess I am taking on the Pope. He gave a dire warning to shut everything down. The Catholic Church is another story. No, I will not step one foot into a church. Not because I don't believe but because I do not a building to worship. I disagree with the Catholic or any church that protects men who rape children and women. The authoritarian management style always got on my last nerve. AI is used in medicine, science, electric cars, computers, your cars, your cell phone, and we must learn to use iot for good not evil. I utilize AI tools. I have been copying and pasting since the invention of the copy machine.

Social Media Impacts Women More Than Men
Social media has become deeply woven into everyday life. From Instagram and TikTok to Snapchat and Facebook, billions of people spend hours scrolling, posting, comparing, and consuming content every day. While social media affects nearly everyone in some way, growing evidence suggests that women — especially younger women and teenage girls — experience more negative psychological and emotional effects than men.

Three Nights in Calgary, Alberta
The snow had melted badly in Calgary that week. Not vanished, not departed with dignity, but collapsed into grey slush at the edges of the sidewalks, as though winter itself has become ashamed of remaining. The city glimmered under a wet yellow haze. Every streetlight seemed exhausted. And after the concert -- after the melancholy voice of Kathleen Edwards had dissolved into applause and beer breath and coats being buttoned -- I wandered toward a karaoke bar called Goose Pub.

Ellafino. Top Story - May 2026.
"I'm stuck." "What has you stuck?" "Ellafino." "Heh, heh. Yeah, right. What's going on?" "I'm...frozen. My mind freezes between words. I just sit here...almost as if I were paralyzed. Stuck. ... Zoning out. Tunnel vision sets in. I see only the computer screen, and the rest of the room blurs as if I'm not wearing my glasses. It takes effort to move my fingers to type. I...just want to sit here, mindlessly watching nothing happen, irritated that the grammar check puts a blue line under the word 'just.'"
