Good? Bad? If it was bad, may the knowledge that today is World Cat Day provide you some cheer

Hopefully it's going well. If not, hopefully you can accept the love of Cookie Monster into your heart.

Trump's administration is, of course, trying to speedrun Idiocracy. I think too many people won't care until their daily life is impacted though. When they go to the store and they're out of beans, or can't get a new gas guzzling truck because the price doubled. What ICE is doing is terrible, but concentration camps are someone else's problem, somewhere far away, if you don't want to care about them.

I'm wondering where we are on that track. When you want to do something you've always done, but you just can't anymore. When even MAGAts can't pretend that things aren't worse.

It would be nice if tipping was just gone, and everybody got paid a living wage, like in most of the rest of the world. We're in a Nash equilibrium right now where if you don't tip, you're an asshole. Other people might even tip more if they hear about it, which reinforces the status quo. So I keep tipping well, and disliking that we're stuck here.

How can we end tipping culture and just have everyone be paid a living wage?

I saw a duck with a bum leg. Seemed to be doing alright overall, hopefully it got better, poor duck.
