This is getting uncomfortable. Dr. Jill, it’s time to limit Joe Biden’s public appearances. His cognitive decline is accepted. There are questions about how diminished he was, and when. We need to know who knew of his decline and who was running the White House. None of these questions are for Joe Biden. Public appearances don’t influence those discussions and only make him appear pathetic.
Sparky was salty and judgmental after I made a batch of megaroni and cheese. I thought he might be feeling ignored, so I asked him to join me on the couch. Sparky was still kind of bitchy, so it had to be something else.
Big complex projects have long planning horizons. Elon Musk doesn’t operate that way. In 3 or 4 years, he expects to launch a manned mission to Mars. In 8 or 9 years, a productive Mars colony is expected to be operating.

Reuters: Trump to sign orders to boost nuclear power

I am thrilled by both of these developments. Nuclear power is necessary for America to prosper, but it hasn’t gotten much attention. If Trump and lawmakers from both parties encourage nuclear power, everyone will be better off.
Social media algorithms are so tedious. Youtube Shorts are the worst. This video short has been presented on my Youtube feed for several days.
For teachers, it’s retirement party season. My former colleagues are fun and interesting people, so the party was a good time. It’s comforting to be home and drunk by 5 pm, like back in the good ol’ days. I used to attend the Friday Happy Hour about once per month. When I got home, I wasn’t good for much, so would cut the grass for a few hours and try not to drive into the creek.
