I posted this last night. Nothing, don't know if anybody listened to it, but seriously you must pay attention to this. Young Fathers with I Saw at the UK Mercury Prize ceremony.
It would be good if one of the many people in Texas who own private places gave her a ride so that she could avoid unnecessary attention. A terrible situation that can only be made worse by the press and some government agencies hounding her. Can they prosecute her when she gets back? There are thousands of miscarriages a year in every state. It happens.
The Supreme Court said that, “without regard to the merits” of the arguments on either side, it had issued an administrative stay in the case, to give itself more time to issue a final ruling. —NYT
I'm not above a hearty "fuck you" when the situation demands it. But sometimes, you want to tell someone, "I hope you never get fucked again in your miserable life, you useless son-of-a-bitch." And that his life is long and miserable.
I broke some things secondary to the rage that manifested within me when I saw that news break last night.
I hope that I've gotten all of the glass out of the carpet. I always go barefoot at home and don't want another cut that I didn't even feel leaving me bleeding all over the damned floor making another mess that I'd have to clean up like I did last week.
I needed to mop the kitchen floor anyway, but that incident necessitated getting down to business straight away.
It was a Cat the Ripper related broom attacking incident. My lower left leg got in Ripper's way and he laid open the back of my left leg where I don't have much feeling left. I'd leaked a good bit before I looked down and registered what in the hell was going on.
That's what worries me. If this poor woman and her husband attempt to take it on the lam, leave the state and seek care elsewhere one or more of those self-righteous motherfuckers is going to try to hurt them...or worse.
Yay!! After a week and a half of feeling like a blob of semi human goo from a random viral infection I woke up feeling fully human and energized to start the day!!!!

"At Dobson Ranch Golf Course we know that you want to have fun. To make that happen, you need to find an exciting, upbeat place to play. The problem is, most golf courses enforce stiff policies that kill any chance of having a good time. The day you play, should be the best day of your week, which is why we break with tradition and provide AZ’s most fun and friendly golf experience.
Golf is supposed to be fun. We create an upbeat atmosphere with music everywhere!
Compete with your buddies or dial in your yardages with Toptracer and enjoy a cold drink & cool tunes.
Billiards, booze, & backyard games... There’s always something Rockin’ at the Ranch!"
Editor's Note: The music they play "everywhere" pumping it out at the driving range, practice green, and clubhouse, is "Bro Country".
No, that's not the point of golf. Golf is a metaphor for existence. A continuous struggle. A lifelong challenge to overcome adversity. Outdoors. In the wind and rain. :-)
Yep! That's where I'll be, and yeah, we should do a wonkmeet. There are more Wonkers in that area than I had previously realized. I thought it was just you, Hammy, and PhxDogLover, but I see others chime in from time to time that they are in the Phx area.
New Big Big Train music, in advance of an album to be released in March. Broke my heart when the brilliant David Longdon died a couple of years back. Of injuries sustained in a fall at home. At the ripe old age of 56. What a waste.
But BBT ultimately hired Alberto Bravin, formerly of the Italian prog band Premiata Forneria Marconi, and carried on. Sounds p. godamn good!
Please, Jeebus, let 2024 be the year BBT crosses The Pond for a tour.
Gertrude wishes you a happy Caturday! Well she would if she weren't sleeping -- but if she weren't sleeping, she wouldn't have let me take a picture of her.
They're deemed a "persistent poverty county" and yet they quote two people saying that they didn't have all these problems when Assmouth was president. Persistent poverty didn't start yesterday, but the brave reporters don't seem interested in any facts.
I've decided that the opposite of Cletus is Comic Book Guy. As in, "Comic Book Guy went to visit Cletus, and for some reason wrote a blog post about it."
My aunt, from Michigan, married to a Ford VP, on forced multi family fun vacations to various locations in the South during my youth, loved to "pretend" to be one of those poors and try to be as trashy redneck as she could conceive a stereotype. My brother and I use that as reason #1,549 why we went no contact with my father's side of the family when I turned 21 and had all my adult legal rights and responsibilities. I'm older, but we agreed it wasn't fair one of us go no contact and the other forced to see them.
Boston’s Hanukkah pop-up bar, Maccabee Bar, is back for its sixth year with an extended run at Noir in Cambridge starting just after Thanksgiving weekend and going all the way through New Year’s Eve.
There will be brand-new cocktails to try, along with past years’ favorites, such as the Latke Sour (apple brandy, potato, lemon, Havana & Hyde Bitters) and Ocho Kandelikas (olive oil gin, honey, apricot, almond, lemon). Noshes will include special snacks from Noir’s kitchen (including latkes, of course!), as well as jelly doughnuts by Kate Holowchik’s Lionheart Confections.

It's been okay so far.

You know that story we were happy about yesterday? The woman who was carrying a fetus that could never survive and the judge approved a termination?
Yeah, that didn't last long.

Texas Supreme Court Pauses Lower Court's Order Allowing Woman's Abortion
Can she at this point fly to a state that will help her and just circumvent this fucking horseshit?
It would be good if one of the many people in Texas who own private places gave her a ride so that she could avoid unnecessary attention. A terrible situation that can only be made worse by the press and some government agencies hounding her. Can they prosecute her when she gets back? There are thousands of miscarriages a year in every state. It happens.
She probably will, but I am sure they are pushing it because she should not have to.
Would that moot the court case if she did that?
The problem is that bullshit reporting thing they have in Texas about abortion. I wish they hadn't published her name.
Yeah, I just scrolled down and saw that discussion.
GOD DAMN THESE FUCKING SHITTERS!

More time for her to suffer.
Sadistic fucking [very bad word; plural].
indeed
Yeah, we think we can pencil in a preliminary review some time near the end of January ...
Paxton can't help himself. Fuck that guy. And fuck him again.

Paxton is a cruel, evil, twisted fuck. He SHOULD be in prison, but he's free to torture the vulnerable citizens of Texas.
Can't she whip up a gofundme and go out of state?
I suppose so. But maybe they can be anonymous? I don't know much about it.
That's what worries me. If this poor woman and her husband attempt to take it on the lam, leave the state and seek care elsewhere one or more of those self-righteous motherfuckers is going to try to hurt them...or worse.

Just shoot me.
While both of my parents enjoyed golfing the sport just never appealed to me at all; I don't really even understand the rules.
It's primary redeeming values are that you get to play outside and drink while doing so.
I like the rules which keep unbearable doucheschooners off the course.
Unbearable Doucheschooners is my Kundera quoting Yacht Rock cover band.
"Golf is supposed to be fun!"
No, that's not the point of golf. Golf is a metaphor for existence. A continuous struggle. A lifelong challenge to overcome adversity. Outdoors. In the wind and rain. :-)
Yes, I see you do play! I like it because you can’t really blame any other fule if you fuck up.
I hope not, b/c I'm going to be living about a mile away from Dobson Ranch starting in about May.
If you listen carefully, you can hear the faint strains of some guy with a thick southern accent singing about beer and the women who reject him.
I kid. You'll be fine.
Oh, I'm an AZ Native, born and bred, and I lived in that area my own self for many years.
I've just been a transplanted NoCal grrl for the past 23 years. XD

Will flocks of pooping geese suffice?
Once saw a demo with a working border collie in NY.
Her main job was "herding" Canada geese off of golf courses.
The course I used to play, the 18th green had extra hazards from all the Canada geese shit on it
Play it as it lies.
I always did, but it was like pinball at times
I slept like the dead last night and my cold/flu whatever seems to have mostly passed. I just feel weak now. Yay?
It sounds as if the worst is over but you still want to try to just give yourself a break and kick back and relax today.

Next time, instead of sleeping in, sleep through ...
Do you think Michigan should prepare to sucede and become part of Canada?
So, you thought we are building the Gordie Howe Bridge for fun? It's called the Back Up Plan for a reason!
A bridge named for WJM TV's weatherman of 50 years ago? That's cool.
Should this one be frostbite instead of a burn?
Gordie Howe's back up plan, anyway...
No. But then I think we're going to keep beating these fascists in our country.
Shhh! Don't tell anybody - we already are!...

A latke sour sounds intriguing.
