Increasingly, countries around the world are electing liberal leaders to replace conservative ones. The only Trump Effect that’s beneficial. Can we look at it as the U.S. “taking one for the team?” Sucks for us but maybe there can be benefits in other countries (ones we’re not bombing, anyway).

A piece about Lisa Kudrow in The New Yorker states that Vassar College is in upstate New York. Fact checkers, HELLO?! Poughkeepsie is NOT “upstate” New York, and The New Yorker really should know better). #thenewyorker #vassarcollege

My daughter and 30 of her classmates are going on a HS trip to Italy on Thursday, leaving from JFK. It will be her first trip without family, so I was nervous to begin with. But now …😩😩 #jfk #airtravel

We hit the jackpot with our new cat (name still TBD). I was with her in her “acclimation” room earlier today, I got sleepy so laid down. This sweet baby cuddled up to me and we napped together. She’s heavenly! #catsofbluesky #catadoption

A flight delay of 1,336 minutes—that’s a new one! Pilot requested a mechanical team, which took an hour to arrive, then the crew “timed out,” resulting in a “severe delay.” Yeah, you don’t say 🙄. #JetBlue

My son got another exotic pet, an African giant millipede he named Medea. But at least he brought this one to college with him. The snake, Apollo, is home with me, so I have the pleasure of feeding him a defrosted rat every few weeks 🤢

Watching Ken Burns’ “The American Revolution,” I find myself rooting for the Native Americans. Imagine if the Patriots and Brits had decimated each another so severely that the indigenous population could have taken back their land?

No Kings in Westchester County, NY. What was really fun is that Woody Guthrie’s granddaughter was there and we all sang “This Land Is Your Land” together. Very patriotic and resistance-y 🇺🇸 #nokings

I happen to like President Clinton but if there are Epstein tapes of both him AND Trump, then I’m fine with throwing out the baby with the bath water (the nasty, dirty, skanky bath water being Trump).

Westchester County, NY: The Real Feel at 2pm is gonna be 108?! Hope we don’t lose power.🤞🏼 We set the AC to a reasonable 77 (takes the edge off) but people around here don’t use their brains; they set it to 68, a drain on the system!

Gavin Newsom is the white alpha asshole we need to run against the next Republican (who hopefully won’t be Trump 😬). America has declared that they love rich white dickheads, so Democrats should offer up one too.
