Putin is a War Criminal
In truth, I wasn't expecting to get any joy out of Jimmy Carter's funeral. But I have to say the way Trump (and Melania) was treated by virtually everyone that I saw, it was perfect and it made me very happy. Especially when the Bushes cruised right by with no acknowledgement. I'm not a fan of the Bushes, but I enjoyed that very much. I wish Obama hadn't been chatting with him, but there's only so much you can do to ignore the person sitting next to you.
The Carter Foundation's cutting the Trump's out of the their representative photo of the service was classic.

Then you've never been the chatty old lady sitting next to me on a 6 hour flight. I will shut that shit down.
Certainly would never catch me on camera yucking it up with the guy I was publicly calling Adolf Hitler a few weeks ago.

Commentary that no longer violates TOS on FB and IG:
Meta specifically offered those examples!! My guess is "Free Palestine" or "Free Luigi" will be considered terrorism though
Many people have been saying Cuckerberg is doing this to suck up to Trump. I'm sure this is part of it. It's also because he can lay off moderators. That materially benefits him. And the public being less informed and continuously fighting each other over Culture War bullshit also benefits him, and all billionaires.

Putin is a War Criminal
I am quite certain the damage will go long past my ability to see it. The nature of our democracy will change. There is no way to stop it. And to whatever extent they get away with it, it is their plan. We're going to get to see just how much fight the American people have in them to protect the nature of their country and democracy. However it goes, it's not going to be pretty.
Trust the Plan

Back online after deciding my phone wasn't gonna cut it for solo online usage, and finally found a cheap / on-demand hotspot solution till I decide I want to come back home. Which gave me time to accrue a couple of 'random thoughts' 
Saw a few 'stories' on different morning 'news' programs over the last couple of weeks concerning food expiration ('sell by', 'best before', 'use by', etc.,) and I started thinking... is this the start of preparing the most overfed nation on earth for food scarcity, via impending crop failures?
It certainly seemed like an organized effort...
Now that 'quitters day' has passed (NY resolutions), I can start my exercise regimen, unencumbered by crowds on the walking paths.
Does anyone else get annoyed at the term 'first world problems' ? I used to like it, but the more time that passes, hate it more and more. Like, I know my issues are trivial, in the macro... but they still exist, and I want to resolve them, damn it!
That's enough for now. Time to medicate again, look at the desert landscape, and... :: g*d DAMN, this hotspot is slow. I thought *thumb* typing sucked ::
Resource triangle, exemplified (cheap, good, fast)
