Whether or not you’re running for Congress and trying to seem rugged (and you probably should run, because, look who’s out there) what did your grandpas do for a living?

I’d guess I’m more conservative than the median Blueskyer. Facebook seems to have picked up on that and now my feed there includes a smattering of racists and antisemites. It’s telling and sad that their algorithm codes conservative as racist.

I still go to FB once in a while because that’s where a lot of family are. It always defaults to the algorithmic feed which sucks because I don’t any the first think I see to be Libs of TicTok.

We just moved my great-grandparents’ clock to my place from my mom’s. It was a fixture in my grandparents’ house when I was growing up. The same gentleman who has serviced it my entire life will be coming to reassemble it. I’m happy to have it, but it feels a little strange.
