A natural born coxswain, working smarter, not harder.
In the aughts there was a short film called "Ride of the Merganser". They did a great job keeping it off youtube, and it seems to not be there to this day. But if you ever get a chance to see it it's super cute.
I saw a line of geese marching for the pond once, big one leading, about a dozen goslings lined up following, one adult standing at the rear to police any stragglers. It was adorable.
// None of these β and I mean none of them β cute Halloween porch ideas are one-one-thousandth as cool as whatever my husband Shy will put up this year.

All I could think about while looking at those was McSweeney's perennial fall favorite, "It's Decorative Gourd Season, Motherfuckers!" But I bet Shy would love chatting with the lady that lived in the neighborhood I just moved out of -- she started putting stuff out the last week of September and changing it a bit day by day. By Halloween she had about 14 skeletal pirates spread across her lawn (and some non-pirates), playing poker, manning a cannon, burying treasure, all sorts of things.
Then there was the house a couple of blocks away, who had one of those 12-foot skeletons "chained" between two trees while normal-sized skeletons either were guarding it or where engaged in witchy sort of activities. Then the other side of their yard had a couple of 8-foot tall skeletons dressed like demons and/or vampires, with a normal-sized skeleton pinned to another tree with a stake through its chest.
I'm planning to go back out there sometime next month to see what they've got going on this year.
Lots great tabs today, TY Editrix! Iβve been saying (quoting the research, Iβm just the messenger occasionally) in these here NC since Covid the amazing awesomeness about the marijuana blocks the xovid binding receptors from xovid binding to the receptors. Fork off xovid, U canβt live here, the Weedy goddess green already does! Actually told my new (young!) Dr yesterday in our first appt lols. Told him to look it up, itβs science fact, marijuana is a literal life! (& sanity!) saver in more ways than one for many different kinds people. He said my speech sounded pressured like I was stressedβ¦ yeah cuz not stoned and also too life keeps gd lifing π
>>> ... but also honestly how many times can we write the same βTrump threating to kill and or jail us all, again,β again?
I understand the frustration. But it's important to keep documenting the atrocities. If the NYTimes can write six "Biden is old" stories every day for months, and refuses almost completely to cover Trump's obvious decline and/or his vicious fash fantasies, then it is up to you all to provide a counterweight.
It doesn't have to be a hilarious essay each time. A simple one-liner, plus a link, that's all. Maybe have a nifty little counter to go along with it.
Trump on 9/11 just hours after the towers were hit, in a live interview with local TV β
in that interview that he said 40 Wall Streetβhis building located blocks away from the Twin Towersβ"actually was the second-tallest building in downtown Manhattan.
"It was actually, before the World Trade Center, was the tallestβand then, when they built the World Trade Center, it became known as the second-tallest. And now it's the tallest," he said.
My fav post-debate roundtable, especially for Chris Hayesβ βfishingβ metaphorβwhich noted angler Rachel prolly lovedβstarting about the 10 minute mark:
I'm gonna guess that Harris "won the debate" by the lack of headlines screaming out that Trump pivoted to presidential and that he presented bold policies at the debate.
I like this cannabis/covid science. Iβve had covid multiple times and itβs been a groggy dumb head sleepy taste-interfering illness. Nothing terribly wretched other than fatigue. Thanks, cannagoddess!
Something that struck me this morning was the incredibly shitty coverage of some aspects of last night's debates. Namely, the whole "neither side provided any policy details . . ." Yeah, fuck you, BBC, NYT, whomever. The respondents had one fucking minute to provide details, or one fucking minute to debate. This was not a policy speech moment. That said, a certain dotard, a mumbling, confused, lying old man was a firehose of lies and whackaloon consipiracy theories. The other person provided quick policy outlines on several occasions. One side even managed to use the debate questions as a chance to respond to the questions. The other side aired their grievances, loudly. So, to sum up, fuck you, BBC, fuck you NYT, fuck you any news organization claiming that Harris was too light on details, or that Trump was anything other than an angry, bitter, blathering fucking idiot.
So that's how the media is failing us today? They have coalesced around the narrative that Harris is light on policy details, evidence to the contrary be damned. Let them cool their heels in a gulag and then decide what "neutrality" looks like.

That's funny--my mother (who reads the Tabs daily) also said that the rider was a coxswain.
Will look for the film :)
OMG "coxswan" was RIGHT THERE!
I was surprised I was the first.
Looks like the Queen's float at the Homecoming Parade.
Big White Cobra Chickens!
They're elegant and white! And will fuck you up if you look at them wrong

That particular sighting never fails to cheer me up.

The child killed was not "murdered". It was a collision on a country road with a school bus.
Also not mentioned enough--the Haitians in Springfield are mostly legal residents. They weren't "dumped" there--they came of their own free will.
In Missouri - secty Ashcroft & Judge Limbaugh? Is the talent pool there really that shallow?
Those are some pretty crappy Halloween decorations.
For the day that's in it. One of my good friends on 09.11.2001, Patrick Connolly, was a proby firefighter, his story is quite amazing.

I think his latent guilt is finally overwhelming him.

Heavy marijuana users also get extra protections against lung cancer according to the CDC.

thank you and precisely.
