Hi old and new readers. Y’all are beautiful! We do a little gif to go with the weekday tabs and then I post a link source info here in the comments. (Sometimes the source link also has a story too, but not today, because I’m tired.)
😆I really tried to find this in a better orientation for our needs, but I couldn’t. Some social media posters just love that portrait format. Ultimately, I just couldn’t say “no” to wiggly baby goats.
I know. I see it all of the time. Even during expansive events where the wider aspect ratio would capture the scope more effectively, people won't use landscape.
I could care less about any tweezering post-mortems. We lost this election because the American people didn't give a fuck. Fuck them, they deserve everything coming. The rest of us don't, but that's semi-democracy for ya.
Steve M at NoMoreMrNiceBlog has an interesting post today (Friday) about the election. He showed two charges, one was the amount of credit debit on this country over the last several years. The other was the credit card interest rates over the same time. Debt spiked during COVID amd has not come down. Credit Card rates also spiked during that time and hasn't come down. While jobs and such indicators looked great, for the average person, paying off a lot of debt, things did not look so good.
I read the CATO report and I am PISSED. WHY didn't the media (TV, streaming, social) make this headline news, bc obviously (but not surprisingly), trump told a BOLD-FACED LIE TO THE PEOPLE! Add this to that travesty of an election, I'm now angrier now than ever!! Complete and total negligence by the other news media (not Wonkette, I love Wonkette)...
I was glued to the news every day and never heard this, at most it was a one sentence mention about how MAGA was lying about the number of people illegally crossing the border under Biden. I never heard anything detailed like this report on any of the news channels or on social media.
Updates from the shelter--the guy who went on the ambulance run Tuesday came back last evening, still no wiser to what's wrong with him (said has no memory from the time he was taking a nap until 6 hours later). Also Walter arrived back 24 hours later. Said he stayed with a friend.
The food is surprisingly not bad. We had lasagna for lunch today and roasted chicken Wednesday night--two pieces each, a leg and something else. Plus fruit, and cole slaw variation although we had mixed vegetables last night with cheeseburgers.
Thanks again to the generous Wonketteers who helped me get phone access back.
Tarheel here. Yes, my one big disappointment with the NC-o-centric races is that DOCTOR Sarah Taber lost to Steve "Big Ag" Troxler. At a time when NC ag needs to be diversifying, we need Dr. Taber to champion the smaller farmers. The ag businesses with thousands of acres of row crops are, I'm sure, doing fine.
All (well, most) of the other NC races went our way, but in my heart of hearts, I'd hoped that we'd have a new Commissioner of Agriculture, and a fresh start. Next time, if Dr. Taber is willing. She'll sure have my vote...if elections are still a thing.
Spent the morning investigating if there were local lib gun clubs that might teach me how to use a weapon. Brought it up to close friend/co-workers who had no hesitations admitting they were thinking about doing the same.
Oh, Baja Sessions, one of my favorite albums of his. Chris Isaak is who you listen to when you're depressed, because he's even more depressed and you feel a little better.
We need to be realistic about what is probably going to happen and just focus on protecting ourselves and those we care about. This isn't about politics anymore. It's about people.
Took most of yesterday off for mental health. Was gonna read a book and chill on the sofa. Then a friend texted me for lunch and commiseration. Ended up having too much alcohol but had a good time. Needed that.
Sometimes I will be having a moment with Alice, And she will just be I cannot help myself and then she bites me. But she always does it very gently. It doesn’t hurt. And I realized she has cuteness aggression.😢 She thinks I’m cute...🥰

Welcome, welcome!
Needed these goat babbies today; merci, Martini.
My favorite part of baby goats are those waggy tails.
And it's also how you can tell sheep from goats. Sheep tails go down, and goat tails to up - and baby goat tails wag like crazy!
Me, too, I loved seeing the line of tails wagging like mad.
Call me a dreamer, but maybe someday someone will invent a phone with a landscape mode.

their tails wagging in unison at the end! 😄❤️ thank you 🤗
I know. I see it all of the time. Even during expansive events where the wider aspect ratio would capture the scope more effectively, people won't use landscape.
So cute with those tails!
That one on the end, apparently it's tail is broken?
Maybe. I noticed he isn’t as waggily as the rest of ‘em. But maybe too intensely focused on the noms?
Thank two-timing bastard! Chris Isaak was my boyfriend for those same years (he did not know it).

The news was easily available. The American people decided to be either ignorant or evil. Fuck 'em.
I was glued to the news every day and never heard this, at most it was a one sentence mention about how MAGA was lying about the number of people illegally crossing the border under Biden. I never heard anything detailed like this report on any of the news channels or on social media.
So, hoorah, phone service has been restored!

Best baby goats ever! Soothing to my soul.💙
Okay, I'm not really doing postmortems either. But at least this is short.

Just take a certified gun safety course. They don't (or didn't used to) ask about political affiliations before providing classes.
OK. Everybody has missed the blindingly obvious reason why this complete fuck up happened. It was a fundamental mistake by the Dems. Let me explain:

Holyeee fuck, 60% disapproval? WHAT THE FUCK YOU STUPID FUCKS?
I just realized something cheering.

Selfie will let us see... ;>)
