My partner Pam had a laparotomy on her right foot a month ago. She hasn't been able to do much more than sit in the recliner and roll around the house in my desk chair. Good thing there's been a ton of figure skating to binge!

I find it hilarious the JD Vance is virtually GONE from the incoming trump administration. He's seemingly been replaced by musk. We all know that loyalty in the trump world only goes one way...

3/ ... the way we fight that, is for all of us - who understand the existential threat posed by the incoming trump administration - to become our own cadre of citizen journalists and satirists, holding those in power to the truth.

2/ Threatening the lives of journalists and satirists just because YOU DON'T LIKE WHAT THEY WROTE ABOUT YOU, is the standard tactic of reactionary, authoritarian, and theocratic governments. We are living the inception of those threats to journalists in our own country right now.

1/ Ann Telnaes reminds us that today is the 10th anniversary of the "Charlie Hebodo" murders, wherein an armed group of men invaded the offices of the French satire magazine "Charlie Hebodo" and murdered 12 of them, because they'd had the temerity to publish a cartoon image of the prophet Muhammed

3/Not only do we have to hold trump and the MAGA republicans to account, we really need to remind the legacy media of their obligation to truth, and holding those in power to that truth.

2/This kind of capitulation-before-the-fact is a direct threat to our free press, and thus a threat to our democracy.

1/Ann Telnaes, a cartoonist who draws images commenting on political/social issues with The Washington Post, quitting the paper after the cartoon shown below was killed by her editor. It depicts media and tech billionaires, including WaPo owner Jeff Bezos sucking up to trump.

So, in order to not feel so desperate at the opening of this seemingly doomscrollercoaster year, I just covered the Beach Boys "Shut Down", bluegrass style on the mandolin. Gud Tymez, yo!

Hello, my name is Eyore. Have a happy new year, if you must, if that's a thing you find appealing. Fight the good fight, since there's nothing left to do besides. Speak truth to power, because what else can one do? No other choice...*sigh*

2/... but marking off the days? No. They simply don't care. In our human exceptionalism, we forget our instinctualism and lose that shared experience with everyone else, who - being unlike us, but one with us in this world - just live it, without caring what day it is.

1/Tomorrow marks the start of a new year-an event observed and acknowledged only by humankind. Other of the many species that share this world with us don't care, really. They observe the seasonal cycles with the behaviors they've evolved over the millenia and thereby live the passing of time...

Soooo... is it just me, or are the comment sections on FB - for any post even halfway political oriented - worthless?

I think we all understand that the legacy/corporate media applied (and continues to apply) a double standard regarding Donald Trump and Joe Biden/Kamala Harris. How exactly do we get them to report on trumps's egregious faults consistently?
