Quote of the Day
It’s All Right - Impressions
Although blog pageviews are still about twice the long-term trend, most posts are (barely) breaking double digits. I'm still working on my Iran post. My X followers have continued to drift down to just above 200, after rallying to 207 earlier. I did get my first 1k+ impression (reply) tweet, I think, for the first time in weeks, a comment reflecting on something Fetterman said. I never can tell why or when one of my posts goes viral.
I almost always use a self-service checkout when shopping (Lidl, Walmart, Home Depot, etc.) Lidl is very similar to Aldi (except for the latter's quarter shopping cart rentals): limited varieties or sizes, a large percentage of private labels often with large/multiple barcodes for ease of scanning, highly rotated treasure aisles (it could be anything from rice cookers to flip-flops to garden tools, often seasonal in nature). One annoyance I had with checkout was that almost every time it would freeze or time out, as if it thinks you didn't scan an item (it doesn't mean you didn't scan an item, but it posts it after it thinks you placed it in the purchased items area. I use plastic garbage bags. No free bags: you can buy them or bring your own). I think there's a timeout, and if I switch bags.... So, usually the clerk has to roll back the captured session to see where it froze and whether your last item is on the receipt to date. It can take 5 minutes for someone to come by and let you resume checking out. It just struck me yesterday that I now have a streak of 2 checkouts without a stoppage.
By the way, I'm probably the last to notice, but the contactless (tap-to-pay) credit card is a cool feature. Sometimes I've run into inserting or swiping the card. What annoys me is when they distance the tap target away from the conventional pay slot, like at some Royal Farms gas pumps.
Tonight will be the first time I've missed Wrestlemania since I joined WWE Network and later Peacock. ESPN has had an expensive channel since late last year, when the contract was acquired from Peacock. I don't want to double or triple the cost of Peacock for WWE content. ESPN does offer a first hour free as a teaser on an ESPN channel each night. (So I'll refresh a PLE webpage at 411mania.)

Trump flipped on immigration despite an immigrant mother and 2 immigrant spouses and arguing Romney's restrictionist immigration policy was responsible for his 2012 loss. He flipped on Gulf region wars after criticizing Bush on Iraq and warning against Obama on Iran.

Smerconish is trying to argue this morning that Trump is crazy like a fox. No, he's impulsive and lacks self-control. This is the same psychopath who kicked Zelensky out of the Oval Office. Yes, he does want to be seen as unpredictable; he's intentionally provocative pic.twitter.com/cTcsFU2cbS

The vaccine-skeptic Trump HHS under RFK, Jr. has little credibility. https://t.co/gbv3YX6ykP

Disingenuous Trumpkins are trying to spin the biggest monthly rise in inflation in nearly 70 years, largely due to the unforced illegal Trump war on Iran. pic.twitter.com/lVi3MdaSgc

A recent nostalgia post reminded me of college days when I heard the broadcasters begin/end the broadcast day with the national anthem. I think it went away with around-the-clock schedules. I just saw a Great American Family promo their recurring 6AM anthem. Good luck with that.

I'm tired of so-called libertarians who are ambivalent over Trump. Remember the ones who argued Trump was non-interventionist? What about the guy who says his POTUS powers are unlimited? Who argues free trade is theft? Who says immigrants are criminal or mentally ill? pic.twitter.com/wH8MNBJ7lT

Remember the self-righteous indignation from hypocritical Trumpkins over Biden's pardons, the autopen kerfuffle. the overtly political prosecutions of Trump's targets of Comey, Bolton et al.? Trump at one point tried to argue he could revoke Biden's pardons. https://t.co/aCMYnRNRfp pic.twitter.com/ti6rJ5AvAW

Iran's proposed tolls on the Strait of Hormuz clearly violates international law. But the Strait was open before Trump's unconstitutional war against Iran. Trump broke it; Trump needs to fix it. Stop trying to pass on the burden to others. https://t.co/6bbEMyj2AJ pic.twitter.com/Fi2ShhXwyO

Jesus! Years from now historians are going to have to figure out why the guy who wrote The Art of the Deal says he's indifferent to diplomatic negotiations. https://t.co/NRyCFr4jam

This is a temporary fix for the Trump term. Only 2.5% of workers have tip income; he rest of us don't benefit.

Sports has nothing to do with the enumerated constitutional responsibilities of POTUS.

One recent month of job gains is not a trend. Much of the gains are in healthcare, not in manufacturing and other sectors. More importantly, the LFPR is down to 61.9%, the lowest in 5 years. https://t.co/wN0993PGaE pic.twitter.com/Q12RJmHTz4

Granted, much US shale oil (light) requires new or upgraded refineries, many of which refine sour oil imports. The US produces about 15% of the global market and cannot offset loss of Gulf region production. https://t.co/iEaAyl57b3 pic.twitter.com/s2nDxndTFJ

How well thought out was Trump's decision to kill Iran's Supreme Leader? It reminds me of my favorite Arabic proverb:

"He left us and we rejoiced; then an even more unbearable person came"
Oh. Jesus! For one thing, I've never met someone who has played the victim card than Trump. He's totally consumed about his power and glory. Trump has sabotaged American prosperity and reputation overseas. He has no real accomplishments in office. https://t.co/Ow36okZVZe

Schiff is being sarcastic. Of course. Trump killed Soleimani his first term. itself an act of war. Last June Trump initiated unprovoked airstrikes against Iran. He broke earlier agreements with Iran. https://t.co/el0UApFZlj pic.twitter.com/DqaDxnADna
