I don’t get why the latest centrist bullshit “report” says Democrats are spending “too much time” talking about climate change when people “don’t care about climate change,” but maybe we should spend more time talking about climate change. Jamaica friends, we’re hugging you. Good luck! (AP)

A Trump third term? Steve Bannon knows it’s God’s will, and Americans will “tear up the Constitution” to make it happen. No, he thinks that’s a good thing. (Bad Faith Times) Charlotte Clymer wants to know why the fuck we’re still listening to that choad. (Charlotte’s Web Thoughts)

I don’t know who Brandon Brown, running for US Senate in South Carolina is, except that he’s organizing 100,000 pounds of food from South Carolina farmers to give to people who are about to be hungry, thanks to that ginormous bowl of fuck in the White House. Very cool, Brandon Brown, who is apparently running for Senate! (Brandon Brown)

It’s chestnut season here in the French countryside too. On our weekend hikes we almost always encounter foragers, usually older folks, sticks in hand to aid collection efforts. There will be roasting carts in town centers and some places even have festivals where small teams of volunteers will roast thousands of nuts on a simple set-up of long pits dig into the ground coveted in grates. I love the fall tradition, although I never really developed a taste for the starchy nut, which often finds its way into turkey stuffings and other seasonal dishes.
