    Will Seb #4banger Gorka Ever Fight That Duel? 

    November 23, 2024 - By ginny

    Back from obscurity, let’s revisit the ridiculousness of Seb Gorka. Rick Wilson popularized that nickname, wonder if he’d like to act as second? Quote: Seb Gorka challenged me to a fight over email and I accepted, only to find out he’s “all mouth and no trousers.”   Link: Seb Gorka Just Challenged Me to a Fight Over Email and I Accepted

    Well Played, Onion. Well Done, Sandy Hook Families

    November 14, 2024 - By ginny

    Some forgettable guy’s ass(ets) belong to The Onion and the Sandy Hook families he harassed. Now that’s justice. The satirical news company plans to shutter Jones’ Infowars and rebuild the website featuring well-known internet humor writers and content creators, according to a person with knowledge of the sale.   Link: The Onion wins Alex Jones’ Infowars in bankruptcy auction

    The Guardian Archives Its Xitter Account

    November 13, 2024 - By ginny

    Platform’s coverage of US election crystallised longstanding concerns about its content, says Guardian   Good. People and organizations of good will should at least archive and go inactive, if not outright leave. News orgs have reason to stay and at least park their accounts, so they’re not hijacked by the RWPM (Right Wing Propaganda Machine). No new content, turn off Grok, archive posts, and create new content elsewhere. Support your local Mastodon instance, or create your own. Link: Guardian will no longer post on Elon Musk’s X from its official accounts

    Read the full post to get the best effect. We left it all on the field. ALT: The Western Veil Nebula lies like a wrinkled silk scarf on deep soft velvet. We are starstuff. ”So, as you anxiously wait for election returns, reflect on the fact you have the great fortune to be here in this moment because millions of exploding stars propelled matter into space that fortuitously, miraculously coalesced into you. How lucky is that?” – Robert Hubbell, November 5, 2024   Link: A new way forward—for good!

  • Sorry About The Mess: Trump Wrecking World Economy

    Post: He’s nuts if he thinks manufacturers will move to the US; they like paying rock bottom non-union wages and they’ll pass the higher costs to American consumers. Lose-lose! What can possibly go wrong?

    Since he lives in his own bubble universe, I’m wondering how long his big donors, the few relatively sane conservatives in Congress, and his “IKEA cabinet” will hold out until the murmurs behind the scenes become screaming fights in the Oval Office.

    Spine of steel? Nope. Skull of rock.

    Maury Povich lie detector meme: It says here… Trump is as dumb as a box of rocks.

    Global economy rocked again as rates on imports to the US from dozens of trading partners rose further, with China hit by 104% tariffs

  • Now Listening: Joni Mitchell | Black Crow

    Joni Mitchell album cover Black Crow. A woman is superimposed over an empty road that leads into her silhouette.

    Text:

     

    ”Black Crow - There's a crow flying Black and ragged Tree to tree He's black as the highway that's leading me Now he's diving down To pick up on something shiny I feel like that black crow Flying In a blue sky I took the ferry to the highway Then I drove to a pontoon plane I took a plane to a taxi And a taxi to a train I've been traveling so long How'm I ever gonna know my home When I see it again I'm like a black crow flying In a blue blue sky In search of love and music My whole life has been Illumination Corruption And diving diving diving diving Diving down to pick up on every shiny thing Just like that black crow flying In a blue sky I looked at the morning After being up all night I looked at my haggard face in the bathroom light I looked out the window And I I saw that ragged soul take flight I saw a back crow flying In a blue sky Oh I'm like a black crow flying In a blue sky”

  • Living On Blue Island In Lake Illinois

    A local bike riding friend remarked today that he feels like he’s living on a blue island. I made sure he sees this.

     

    ”JB Pritzker trolled the president on Friday by claiming he planned to rename Lake Michigan as Lake Illinois and annex Green Bay.”
