Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Fuck if i know. i just get yelled at when i try it.

The house always wins.

You can’t attract Republican voters. You can only out organize them.

This is how realignments happen…

I don’t care how fun he is after a few whiskies. fuck that guy.

‘Forty-two’ said Deep Thought, with infinite majesty and calm.

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

Proof that we need a blogger ethics panel.

Hot air and ill-informed banter

Saul Alinsky is my co-pilot.

Usually wrong but never in doubt

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

People are complicated. Love is not.

Militantly superior in their own minds…

Four legs? good! two legs? we’re not so sure…

Something seems odd about that, but i have been drinking.

Shocking, but not surprising

We need fewer warriors in public service and more gardeners.

Republican obstruction dressed up as bipartisanship. Again.

I’m only here for the duck photos.

Let me eat cake. The rest of you could stand to lose some weight, frankly.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

Nevertheless, she persisted.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Kirk Spencer sent this to me this morning… and I have to agree, chills. These are some of the National Guard troops taking shelter from the cold in DC while protecting the Capitol:

These soldiers singing inside the Library of Congress will give you chills

I am a poor wayfaring stranger
I’m travellin’ through this world of woe
Yet there’s no sickness, toil, nor danger
In that bright land to which I go
I’m going there to see my Father
I’m going there, no more to roam
I’m only going over Jordan
I’m only going over home
I know dark clouds will gather ’round me
I know my way is rough and steep
But golden fields lie just before me
Where God’s redeemed shall ever sleep
I’m going home to see my mother
And all my loved ones who’ve gone on
I’m only going over Jordan
I’m only going over home
I am a poor wayfarin’ stranger
I’m travellin’ through this world of woe
Yet there’s no sickness, toil, nor danger
In that bright land to which I go
I’m going there to see my Father
I’m going there, no more to roam
I’m only going over Jordan
I’m only going over home

Steeplejack sent me this about a week ago, and I must share:

this is the best video i have ever seen pic.twitter.com/BYa8IWGipG

And finally, for anyone wanting Omnes’ Trifle or Boston Baked Beans recipe, I have PDFs here.

      Damn, that first video…definite chills!

      But I have to say, any time I see a video of a random animal other than a cat or dog just chilling loose in a car, all I can think is…………………….but is it gonna poop everywhere???? I mean, even cats or dogs might do so, but they’re slightly less likely as they’re trained to go in certain places (in general). But a duck? Isn’t a duck just gonna be like “quack quack crap” wherever it is?

      Got shot #2 yesterday. Arm is DEFINITELY sore today, maybe a little more than last time, and I have a very slight fever (99.5 or so). Feeling a bit lethargic, but it could be because it’s Saturday. Also, already did 5 loads of laundry, so . . . So excited to have the shots that I just ordered some more masks, from Buff, who have filter versions; I’ve been using their neck gaiters that I had around for . . . 15 years? I double the tube and then put a piece of paper towel between the layers, but I think having something with a pocket will be better. And the masks go around the head, not around the ears, for anyone who’s looking for that.

      A great video of a woman named Jackie Weaver deftly handling blowhard bullies during a Zoom meeting of a UK parish council meeting. Funny as hell. Could be a sitcom

      A woman at the centre of a social media storm after a virtual parish council meeting spiralled into chaos has been left surprised by her fame.  …

      Jackie Weaver has had “nothing but positive support” after remaining calm on the Zoom call which had insults, laughter and members being kicked out….

      During the heated meeting, Ms Weaver kept her cool amid some members being abusive and muttering under their breath as others tried to speak, hysterical laughter and participants answering phone calls.

      Video also available here.

      My  youngest son (age 21) got the Pfizer vaccine last week because he’s working for Sean Penn’s CORE organization doing COVID testing at Dodger Stadium and elsewhere.  No reaction at all.  Same with my 87 year old mother, who also got the Pfizer first-dose.  No reaction.  Maybe we’re genetic vaccine super-freaks.  Patiently waiting for mine, but I’m at the back of the line.

      @narya: Near as I can tell my 84 year old Mom had only minor soreness at the injection site after each of her Pfitzer shots. She considers “not one to complain” high praise so…

      Across the road a couple guys are loading the remains of another burnt home into a dump truck with an excavator. Quite a lot of banging and the screech of steel sliding on steel. It’s the 7th of 10 homes burnt in the Beachie Fire cleaned up in our neighborhood of originally 26 homes. 70% burnt buildings cleaned up seems like a good guess for the overall Beachie Fire. Burnt trees will take all year.

      It really helps my attitude as the cleanup progresses.

      Not seeing how this was different from every other Zoom call I’ve been on…

      I think the hardest thing for people to learn and remember is that there is a delay of a second or so, leading to lots of accidental interruptions and talking-over.

      That first video was lovely. Sounds like the Library of Congress is a great space to sing. I used to sing in a choir, BC (Before Covid), and hearing people singly beautifully in large spaces really tugs at my heart strings. Sometimes I listen to our old recordings and I tear up a bit. Fortunately, music has survived plagues before, and I have no doubt it’ll survive this one.

      As for the second video, omg I died from cuteness and my ghost is writing this. Ducks are fantastic little creatures. A former coworker shared a video of her ducks running around and eating, and they’re just the cutest things. I mean, they’re so innocent, and not mean like geese or swans. They just want to float, maybe stick their butts in the air to bob for stuff, and waddle around (and sell you insurance or something?).

      Finally, I bought some chocolate cold brew from a local coffee place, even though it’s like 20 degrees here. It’s nice not to have to make coffee, especially since I managed to burn out my last electric kettle in a frightening, smoky accident (and now I’m a little afraid to use my other one).

      @Almost Retired: Shrug.  Officially I doubt they would ever admit to it because they don’t want people being picky about which vaccine they are getting.  And justifiably so.  They both do the job equally well and no one has died or been hospitalized due to reactions to either vaccine out of the millions already given.

      I’m just reporting that my wife, who is on various Covid task forces and deals with this every day, says that anecdotally they are seeing more second dose reactions from Moderna.  People just feeling sicker and such for a few hours.  It’s always the second dose that is worse, apparently.  As would be expected.

      But yes, get whichever one you can get.  For sure.  The side effects are trivial.

      It’s about a history-changing archaeological dig in pre-WWII UK that for the first time established the Anglo-Saxons as being very advanced and not a crude tribal lot. Spoiler: a very large burial ship containing art treasures is unearthed in a mound on a farm near Ipswich.

      @jeffreyw: It was so bizarre! I dumped the water out, then put the kettle back on the base, and it started trying to heat up the empty kettle. I don’t know if I only hit the power button once (instead of twice to turn it off) or if it malfunctioned, but I’ve had this brand of kettle for almost two years and I’ve never had a problem. (I also could’ve sworn it had a failsafe built in for that, but I guess not.) So yeah, I leave it unplugged now heh. That was enough excitement for the week.

      I’m scheduled for 30 days from now because the supply to WA is so uncertain, even though I’m in 1b, first tier.  Are there some Trump plants still embedded who hate Inslee’s criticism of the Orange Psycho?

      @Dan B: Ohio has been incredibly slow on vaccine rollout. According to today’s newspapers, it is because DeWine is very focussed on nursing homes, where more than half our fatal covid cases have occurred. And Ohio has a huge nursing home population.

      So now I am much less angry about the slow rollout.

      Nursing homes aren’t just the elderly. They are also the caregivers, mostly young POC mothers. And they were eligible for vaccination if they wanted it.

      @narya:  I got mine yesterday as well. No ill effects so far. 3 weeks until the followup shot.

      (Everything goes better with duck??)

      I kept reading the duck’s name as “Manchin” until I slowed down.

      That is all.

      Cheers,
      Scott.

      @df: 

      When I was in Australia in the mid ’70s the motel I was staying at (Highway Motel, Carnarvon WA) had an electric kettle, tea bags, sugar, and a little pitcher of milk in the fridge. When the water started to boil the kettle would violently eject the 254VAC power cord. I don’t know if that’s unusual for an Australian kettle, or not.

      I kinda liked how one blowhard said, “You can’t cut me off…” just before she disconnected him from the Zoom meeting.

      @Bob7094: That does seem a little odd, but I’ve seen electric kettles that turn off when the water boils.

      @germy: “Nodens”?  One “d” short of “Sneddon” backwards?

      It is all connected, init ?

      Thank you for the video of the soldiers singing – and thank you, @Alison Rose:,  for sending me off to Google to see ducks in nappies.

      Been an interesting end-of-week for me:  my fridge went to that Great Kitchen in the Sky.  I bought a new one, but it won’t be delivered until the 11th.  The perishables are parked out on the patio and in a cooler with blue ice, but I’m not sure about some of the items.  A friend suggested I treat myself to an ordered-in meal ot two, and I have decided to do exactly that.

      So I ordered some French delivery for lunch.  Hopefully it will get here OK even though I hit the wrong button and didn’t sign up for the message updates.

      Trifle or Boston Baked Beans recipe

      The mind rebels at the very concept of trifle baked beans.
