I subscribe to the New York Times, NYT Games, and Heather Cox Richardson’s Letters from an American. Recently Letters disappeared and I had to go looking for it, but that was after a couple of days of thinking that something was missing but not being sure what it is. I found it, but I still don’t get it in my email as it should come to me. But Wordle comes to me every day from the NYT at 6 AM, sometimes 6:01. Today it wasn’t there, so I had to go find it, too. I can’t help but entertain the thought that the minions who love the current dear leader have decided to put me on some enemies list. Was it my Facebook rants? They caught the attention of his hackers and they decided to mess with me? At least I haven’t been arrested. Does anyone else ever think nothing is private any more? It’s already creepy that I do a mattress search, and now every time I open my phone, there’s a new ad for a mattress company. But to suspect that my political opinion of DJT might influence those who would want to exact revenge? Is that a bridge too far? Whatcha think?
