“Snow Possible Tonight.” That was how my phone greeted me this morning. Of course, it will probably be less than an inch and won’t stick around long. I guess it’s the Alpha Male version of snow. I tried to work in something about a cybertruck, but we all know those lousy examples of engineering don’t drive well in snow anyway.
A man in New York found a mastodon jaw in his garden. I have questions. Like, what kind of gardening was he doing that uncovers dinosaur fossils? I know some things like bushes and trees have to be planted pretty deep, but there’s a limit. Or maybe there’s a big dog in the neighborhood who found the whole mastodon and is hiding it in pieces for later munching.
MacKenzie Scott has given away another $2 billion. She’s setting a unique example in what is largely a male-dominated field of billionaire philanthropy. The boys say they’re paying attention. None of them have yet to match the amounts Ms. Scott is giving away. Billionaires, like to talk big about “giving back to the community,” but getting them to actually do anything, is difficult unless they see a tax break looming at the end.
China is getting more heavily involved in local US politics. Local leaders don’t have their guard up and are easily influenced. Today’s mayor may be next year’s Congressperson. As much as anything, they want to keep tabs on dissident Chinese people living in the US. This should be scary, but maybe we’re so tired of scary politics that we don’t care anymore.

Human Rights Watch says Israel’s restriction of water supply in Gaza amounts to acts of genocide. I wonder if our children will ask why we didn’t do anything to stop it. Will our grandchildren see us as complicit in this wanton murder of people? If we’ve done our job of teaching them well, they will ask. Now’s the time to start working on your answer.

We’re at that time of year when there are insane amounts of useless trivia. Are you prepared to dance through the holidays? There are things you need to know before you blunder your way to the dance floor. Apparently, the definition of a New York movie has changed. And who doesn’t need another article about holiday gift-giving? The delivery window is narrow, so you might want to act now.
Such is life. Even with coffee, it’s just kinda ‘meh.’
