If people are wondering why I’m not posting as much, is because when this clusterfuck was only a possibility I trusted America to not be a bunch of racist sexist rapey people who want to make Handmaids Tale look inspirational. I truly believed the younger generation would make a good decision. They complained when we were in charge of things.

Now I realize their complaint was we were TOO centrist and not right wing enough.

This saddens me. But they get the world they wanted.

Hmmmm...

Suspicious, I am...

Seeing some vaguely quasi-Sanders-bro musing from some questionable sources...that's also very dated, by now.

THAT IS...

After Dumps "won" again (by a popular vote % less than what Dubs beat Kerry by back in '04 but I digress)...

Laughable, but concerning...

Mutes may be in order...

I guess?

Trump: "He will end the regulatory onslaught that has been crippling America’s Job Creators and Innovators, and ensure that the FCC delivers for rural America."

No he won’t. Rural America is better served through regulation. If companies did what they wanted, we rural folks would get nothing—because there isn’t enough money to be made.

Ma Bell was FORCED to serve rural communities through regulation.

Regulations do not strangle innovation. This is a bullshit meme.

What surprises me is Republicans being upset:

(Me to the GOP)Look, the guy you ran is a criminal, a rapist, stole national secrets and you backed the couch fucker. Now it’s a little late to be saying, “Oh… but what if he fucks up the government?”

You KNEW he would fuck up the government. Let me he tried to last time. This time he knows the rules. And there is no one to stop him.

This isn't a just president-elect picking people for cabinet slots. It's an actual hostile takeover.

There. I said it.

Kubla Khan - A Vision in a Dream by Samuel Taylor Coleridge

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan
A stately pleasure-dome decree:
Where Alph, the sacred river, ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea..

P.S. --

And I don't even eat red meat and pork anymore (yes, I DO cook it for peeps, duh)...but that shit looks delicious. 😆🤷‍♂️ 🤓

Long ago, I read Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451".
One thing that jumps right out:
In that future, a "Fireman" doesn't put out fires; he starts them.
Trump's nominees remind me of that; they aren't to serve the purview of their departments; their purpose is to destroy them.

"But don’t worry. Oklahoma is buying thousands of Bibles for their public schools.

I’m thinking back to the days long ago when I was a moderator for a chat room on AOL. We went through a quick training program to cover different scenarios that may violate the TOS. We had shifts so it was only brief periods to be on call. Still, the stress and the badgering and utter disrespect was tough to take for those brief periods.

I can’t imagine what J encounters here on a 24/7 365 days a year. Lands sake. Do consider going PRO if you have the means. 💜

I have worked for a NECI chef, a CIA (Culinary Institute lol) chef, a US Navy (CSS) chef, and a L’Ecole Superieure chef. Never a Michelin that I know of, unfortunately.

So let's check out this vid which is excellent.

(At the Pint I only use a "probe" for turkey burgers, cuz those suckers are deceptive as fuck. Otherwise it's all in the tactile. But still -- better safe than sorry, fer shur.)
