Plenty of other states have leaders sucking up to Trump. Not here. The best of luck to our governor as he prepares to fight back.
Chief Justice John Roberts defends judiciary from ‘illegitimate’ attacks
This piece of shit of a Supreme Court leader thinks his institution deserves respect after all they’ve done on his watch – up to and including paving the way for a despot to take power next week.
Look asshole. If violence *does* come to your members you literally only have yourself to blame. It is still a race to see who is more responsible for our country’s failings, but Roberts is pulling ahead of Mitch McConnell these days.
Walter Mondale wrote a eulogy for Jimmy Carter. His son read it at the funeral
This was a nice touch.
Where Does Costco Source The Meat For Its Rotisserie Chickens?
It is always good to know where your food comes from. Turns out Costco went in the chicken business to have better control of its famed rotisserie chicken deal.
How to: Use Signal
Because the world is increasingly getting both weirder and more compromised, it makes sense to take care of how you present yourself online. Tightening up your communications is something to pay attention to. I used to use Signal but they gave up some features a few years ago to increase security. It might make sense to go back to them though, and ignore the missing bells and whistles.
Well, there’s a plot twist
Not sure how much traction this is going to get but here’s an idea floating around the Golden State.
Hello darkness, my old friend: the Ann Telnaes resignation and the late, formerly great Washington Post
Former Washington Post editorial cartoonist Ann Tenaes made a bit of a stir over the weekend after her cartoon (see above) got the axe from her editors and she decided she had had enough and quit.
Many have wrote about it, including Tenaes herself, and Rolling Stone did a story on the dangers of going up against billionaire owners with fragile egos.
We have a wealthy class bowing down to an incoming rapey despot and dare call ourselves a democracy.
Damn shame what they are doing – and are about to do – to this place.
Tubi: By Any Means (2008)
One of my favorite things to watch are the Ewan MacGregor/Charley Boorman motorcycle documentaries: Long Way Round, Long Way Down…still mean to watch Long Way Up.
This series follows Boorman with a lighter crew but a way more ambitious plan to get from Ireland to Australia. It is a lot of joy with a fair mix of chaos. Unfortunately it has lost a lot of its online supporting documentation. I am now reading the book as well just in case there is stuff I missed in the show, because it looked like some things should have been touched on more.
Sadly, thus far, maybe it just was. Pity. Still fun to watch though.
Does Trump Jan. 6 Pardon Plan Include the Seditionists?
At minimum, every Republican voter you know has endorsed pardoning insurrectionists. And likely a lot of independents and some democrats too.
It was on the ballot and they were absolutely fine with the plan.
Sure, they may say it was about eggs or socialism, but really they are just fine with treason.
Full stop.
Deconstructed: Ferndale Turkeys
I have been lucky – on a couple of occasions – to have the foresight to get a Ferndale turkey for Thanksgiving. It *does* make a difference and hope to do so again.
