But whatever, he left early . . .
Pisses me off, even if it was $5k

A X user posted that:
"Secret Service: $7M to $10M. Air Travel and Motorcade: $4M-5M. Stadium Security Upgrades: Additional metal detectors, bomb sweeps, security checkpoints: $2M. Local Law Enforcement: Overtime & personnel: $1M. Trump's Super Bowl attendance: $15 to $20M. Where’s DOGE?"

If this is true . . . it is outrageous. This golfing, Mar a Lago every weekend travel.

Irish Star · Donald Trump's Super Bowl attendance has fans fuming as viewers calculate costDonald Trump attended the Super Bowl tonight in a move that is estimated to have cost millions of dollars, including the cost of flying Air Force One from Florida to the New Orleans

During discussions with my family I thought a little this week about friends, family, and workers who have come out or changed (ie. revealed their true) their inner identity over the last decade or so.

My reactions are typically muted and the social equivalent of a compliant shoulder shrug, which I know some people can take offense to when I don't mean any. I had some trouble putting a name to how I typically react to that sort of thing, and did a little research into similar points of view.

I found a lot of different perspectives including a Reddit post that basically opined that many people aren't truly nice. They don't really care but *seem* nice and tolerant because they generally mind their own business. I don't feel like I'm that far gone, but a few comments under it did resonate.

Anyway, I gathered my thoughts and wrote a little about it. Maybe you'll see a little of yourself in it too?

“Let me tell you all, to think that the #men that we love could be either #unaware or #indifferent to our plight is simply heartbreaking. It is a sad statement about our #value as #women…. It is both a setback in our quest for #equity & a huge blow to our country’s standing as a world leader on issues of #WomensHealth & #gender #equality. So fellows, before you cast your votes, ask yourselves, what side of history do you want to be on?”

“It’s not just that I hear the music in a different way; I look at my past in a different way. All the girlfriends I used to hit the clubs w/now look back & wonder: What choices did we make because we’d been listening to that message for years? What judgments did we cast upon other #women because of it, because we’d been conditioned to be #indifferent to one another? What didn’t we notice?”
