Ten years ago today. In just the last few days: Trump made a deal for the U.S. to buy Russian diesel, an economic lifeline for Putin; he and Elon Musk blamed each other for an order that slowed down Starlink satellite connectivity over Ukraine...

bbc.com/news/article... If the west wants to help out Ukraine they should load up forces on the Kaliningrad border to run an NFL style naked bootleg (football vernacular). Russian sends scarce resources there, and Ukraine can then "break a big one." Monday morning quarterbacking.

bbc.comPutin warns West that Russia is ready to use every weapon to protect KaliningradThe Russian leader insists Moscow is "not threatening anyone" and is merely responding to statements by Western leaders.

Oakland Ballers need a hat for the fans that has a spoon. The east bay hippies would love it. Dig into their Ballers tabouli while watching a game. #oaklandballers

For some weird reason spotting spoons stuck in people's hats has made me happy ever since I was a little girl. Just seemed like a smart way to carry a spoon in case of emergency eating. Was it only a thing in the low countries? Anyway, some examples:

Dr Oz: "There are 5 times more people in parts of Obamacare in Florida than live in the state. It's impossible More than a third of people on Obamacare have never used the insurance policy once.

Frank Zappa was surprisingly politically astute, for anyone who just enjoyed his music. I learned about his Crossfire interviews many years later. He was so intuitive and insightful. He died of prostate cancer at age 52... So had he survived, he might very well have lived to say "I told you so!"

So sad. No one in sac cares about them, and no one in Vegas will have any clue about who there were, or what they did. Seeing Alderson who I thought had character, now relegated to simping for this wretched franchise.

GARY OLDMAN as Cary Grant from ‘North By Northwest’ for a photo project whereby Actors posed for a role they always dreamt of playing. (It had to be self-deprecating, ironic, absurd, a bit twisted and kind of like a funny/bad dream take on the movie.) Love it.
