The older I get the more I realize that most issues have two sides that rarely are explained in detail. Trying not to sound elitist but it is easy to see why most people don't have the capacity or willingness to try to see both sides or to understand that truth can be subjective. I'm too old to have knee jerk reactions to the news anymore; more like Ideological spasms.

My thing with Griner is this: other than the fact that she’s an American who got to come home and doesn’t have to stay in a damn Russian prison for 14 years or whatever, I couldn’t care less. Looks like the gun-runner they traded for her mostly ran guns for us, anyway. Lol. So…meh.

I also couldn’t be bothered to care about Harry and Meghan. I mentioned something like that to my boss once, and she was like “OMG! I’m sooo Team Harry and Meghan!” And that’s hilarious because she would eat them alive if she ever saw them in person. Lightweights. My thoughts about Meghan Markle are that she’s kind of cute…and then I move right the hell on with my day.

I am finding it increasingly difficult to care about any politics these days, after the shit show of the midterms. It’s all just BS posturing anyway. 90% of them are, ultimately, on the same team. And guess what? They’re wearing a different color jersey than I am and they all have the latest sneakers, leaving me to wear the sweat-stained pinney and the too-small shoes with blown-out toes.
