Ta again, ziggywiggy. Greetings from the pied-à-nuage, where adorable and adored husband Meccalopolis just served us each a slice of the peach cobbler I made this afternoon, as well as adult beverages. His tomato sauce is once again simmering on the stove; we shut it off to go to the station. Tonight's edition of A Jet Age Sound was Dolly's Imaginary Playlist, because she so obviously listened to everyone and everything. We only played one of her songs, The Seeker, and that turned out to be a good choice because the program before ours was two hours of Dolly and nothing but Dolly. Good night, beloved Wonketteers. We love and appreciate you all and we bless us all with love, health, peace, and grace. Be kind, especially to yourself, and please, please stay safe. When we vote, we WIN!!
I’m telling you - the default position of this administration is fear. Fear of questions, fear of transparency, fear of being found out, and fear of the American people.

Treasury Bars Some Reporters From G20 Finance Meeting
Specific reporters from The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg were not granted credentials to cover the meeting of financial leaders next week in Asheville, N.C.
Oh, I want members of this maladministration to be more than afraid, I want them terrified beyond recognition. Piggy may have some legal protections for crimes, but they don't. And January 3, 2027 is coming, and the Dems can walk and chew gum at the same time. Some of the members and the committees have big motherfuckin' lists...
I love this movie and I’m really sorry I had to sit it out except I wasn’t sitting. After I get this cart unloaded, I probably only got about one cart of firewood left to go fill up and pull down the hill and stack. And I would be so grateful if somebody would tell me to kick butt and go do it.
I got another two cords coming on the fourth. It looks like I’m finishing up the wood tonight. There’s may be a couple arm falls, but I think I’m gonna just roll this cart down to the deck and park it and call it a night. And then tomorrow, I’m gonna try to get this bark that fell off all bagged up and then I’ve got some plants that I need to get in the ground. And then after that… I don’t know. I’m sure there’s something. But the weather is supposed to turn after the fourth, so I’m really feeling pressured to get everything ready so in the next load comes, there’s nothing on the tarp anymore.
I don't think it's too unfair to note that the genre is rooted in tradition, and so you get a lot of familiar-sounding stuff, in a sort of musically colloquial context (at the risk of appearing too egg-headed about it).
But I'm not here to sell it to you; it's not what I listen to much.
The thing about Dolly is that I never got into the music. I pretty much saw her as an over all entertainer, philanthropist, and just an awesome human being. If there was a modern Jesus, it would have been Dolly.
I don't intersect too much with the commercial end of country music, but I will say that I'm okay with most of it up through the 70s; after that it got, I don't know, bad.
That's fair. And metal bands are doing their musical salutes to Dolly live on stage. I appreciate the respect. It's almost like every band in the world playing Ace of Spades when Lemmy died.
I was just rudely awakened! There was a crashing out on the deck and I came down the loft stairs to find nothing broken or even out of place. The critter cam saw something I didn't.
I'm going to go back to bed now. Good night my little chickadees.
We heard a nice few bark and howls at the moon last night from our resident coyote pack. Right across the valley, such sweet music, children of the night.
40th anniversary yesterday. Half bottle of champagne left this morning. Champagne for breakfast sounds justifiable. Voice vote? The yeas have it. Thank you for your support.
JFC, the simplest things that improve folks' day-to-day lives a bit, while the big picture stuff is needing to be tackled in the background.
Unbelievable. How easy and SMRT.
I'm not a resident of NYC, but damn, Mamdani and his peeps obviously did some serious homework before and while he was running for office. The brainstorming of creative and helpful ideas. Wow.
I had a friend since departed who worked for Hans Riedel, a Hungarian who flew a FW 190 on the Eastern Front, moved to the US America and started a successful biz.
He had a painting of German planes shooting down Allied bombers but proclaimed he only flew on the Eastern Front.
RFKJ goes on Kayleigh McEnany's podcast or seminar or whatever the fuck and claims that he "closed down thousands of hospices in California" because "the patients would never die. We've been paying for this guy for five years..."
That leatherfaced, frog-voiced freak never does a fucking thing but make outlandish claims, tell ridiculous lies, and yell at everyone (in that godawful voice) that either you're with him, or you're totally corrupt and crooked and leeching off the taxpayers and in the pockets of Big Pharma.
Hey Stephen Miller, you think the left is a bunch of uggos: Have you ever taken a good look at this guy? Or at the pile of blubber topped with cotton-candy hair you call a boss? Or in the mirror for that matter, assuming that those actually will reflect your image?
Let's see. Just this week he got all fucking croaked up about measles in PA. (Vitamin A cures it!) Aside from the evisceration of all of the other vax guidance. Oh yeah, and tried to show people how to cook and eat healthy by buying one egg and a tablespoon of olive oil at a time at the grocery store
The USDA Rollins person says that folks can have a piece of chicken and broccoli and a tortilla or something for a meal. Food banks and school lunch programs lost well over $1B in funding earlier in the year, and much of it from smaller family farms in their localities who are also now screwed.
There are now about 3 million Americans who have been thrown off of SNAP, and something like 400,000 people alone in AZ. Most of them kids.
I don't even know the number who have lost their Medicaid or ACA subsidies at this point.
Trump wants to import mystery meat from a country he won't disclose.
I'm barely scratching the surface here.
But anyone who doesn't see that eugenics are in play is delusional.
How about Amanda Rollins from "Law & Order: SVU"? She doesn't actually exist. That already makes her more qualified than Blake or Blank or whatever it is.
Those three million weren't thrown off SNAP. They were "lifted" off it. Just ask Rollins. GOD, what a ninny that woman is. Her response to the screwworm infestation was to blame Joe Biden, AFTER CANCELING BIDEN'S PROGRAM TO STOP IT.
That fucking shit. My mother was in hospice for more than 2 years; sorry she didn't die fast enough for you, sicko monster who probably never paid for ANYTHING his entire privileged life. May he die in misery and alone, and I do not use that curse lightly.
Fuck Google https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Felcvjtor7gmh1.png
They did it. They misnamed Lake Ontario. Check it out, it’s real.
Apple, so far, has not.
So what? I still call it the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario. It's all performative bullshit. I am sure Canada is all skeert!!!
Tip of the iceberg of caving to his insane demands.

Good night everybody. Stay safe, stay sane. Butterflies are free all you happy people.
I can honestly see why shine is so alluring.
Noit.
Any sightings of Hammy and The Crews today?
This morning I think. GB is still indisposed.
Kind of figured that gb was on sabbatical.
Where the f is gallbladder.
He's just taking a break. I got an email from him a few days ago.
Yes, there were some new Simba pix this afternoon.
I think they should be horrified and not just simply afraid.

Agreed. And you don't even have to remind me that I need to take my own evening meds.
I just took mine half an hour ago.
It's a bit late! Gonna' have a snack though, before *falling over*.

Calling all weirdos, calling all weirdos! Zyxomma mixed and the Reverend Ike curated and engineered a great rock and roll show! That is all.
I love this movie and I’m really sorry I had to sit it out except I wasn’t sitting. After I get this cart unloaded, I probably only got about one cart of firewood left to go fill up and pull down the hill and stack. And I would be so grateful if somebody would tell me to kick butt and go do it.
I need some stacked too. But first, I need more wood to stack.
It's always something.
I got another two cords coming on the fourth. It looks like I’m finishing up the wood tonight. There’s may be a couple arm falls, but I think I’m gonna just roll this cart down to the deck and park it and call it a night. And then tomorrow, I’m gonna try to get this bark that fell off all bagged up and then I’ve got some plants that I need to get in the ground. And then after that… I don’t know.

Okay, Sisyphus, time for a break!
[Sisy looks up at sky, shakes head, keeps stacking]
What species of firewood are you getting?
It’s dry birch, split. All I have to do is move it down from the driveway to the lower deck, and stack it.

PMS Blues
Good tune, but it sounds like Heart Break Hotel.
I don't think it's too unfair to note that the genre is rooted in tradition, and so you get a lot of familiar-sounding stuff, in a sort of musically colloquial context (at the risk of appearing too egg-headed about it).
But I'm not here to sell it to you; it's not what I listen to much.
Don't take offense. If I compare something to Elvis, it's a compliment.
No offense taken at all. : )
Skepti will dig this if she hasn't heard it. I was laughing my ass off. And I am am a guy.

The Grass Is Blue
The thing about Dolly is that I never got into the music. I pretty much saw her as an over all entertainer, philanthropist, and just an awesome human being. If there was a modern Jesus, it would have been Dolly.
She was one of the great country songwriters, but she was taken less seriously than others for obvious reasons.
I don't intersect too much with the commercial end of country music, but I will say that I'm okay with most of it up through the 70s; after that it got, I don't know, bad.
Dolly had some good ones.
And I think she may have worked with Cash and Nelson at some points.
I am not a country fan, but sometimes country can be really heavy in its own ways. This coming from a metal guy.
I like it when I like things in genres I don't usually like.
I guess I feel like a tourist, but whatev.
That's fair. And metal bands are doing their musical salutes to Dolly live on stage. I appreciate the respect. It's almost like every band in the world playing Ace of Spades when Lemmy died.
They all deserve the respect.

Love is Blue
I don't like it, but it gets under my skin.
I prefer it to Andy Williams’s vocal version.
That is a nightmarish scenario that I am now setting aside.
I was just rudely awakened! There was a crashing out on the deck and I came down the loft stairs to find nothing broken or even out of place. The critter cam saw something I didn't.
I'm going to go back to bed now. Good night my little chickadees.

We heard a nice few bark and howls at the moon last night from our resident coyote pack. Right across the valley, such sweet music, children of the night.
The local voles don't think of those howls as sweet music of the night though. Ma Nature can be ruthless at imes.
Babbies!!!
We haven't seen a cub all year and now we have triplets?! I'm delighted.
And you and PAUL get to name them. Choose wisely.
'We will hug them and squeeze them and call them George.'
um....wait...
40th anniversary yesterday. Half bottle of champagne left this morning. Champagne for breakfast sounds justifiable. Voice vote? The yeas have it. Thank you for your support.
Not got any juice to add?
Congratulations and best wishes. Champagne for breakfast? Fuck yeah!! 💞🥂
Thanks.
Congratulations!
Thanks.
Happy Anniversary. Champagne is the breakfast of champions.
Thanks.
Happy Anniversary!
Thanks.
You hardly need my approval.

Broken swing sets? Missing basketball nets? Have no fear, Renew Crew is here.
Neighborhood parks are meant for recreation — not frustration. If it’s broken, this crew will fix it. If it’s run-down, they’ll renew it.
Renew Crew: Coming soon to a park near you.

I swear that man gets cooler every time I hear about him.
"NYC mayors are supposed to concentrate on finding no-show jobs for their criminal associates" - R. Giuliani. Seconded by E. Adams.
It's an old New York City tradition. Let us prey.
And thirded by A. Cuomo.
And putting all emergency communications inside the biggest terrorist target in the world.
Never forget.
This is awesome!!!
OMG, I'm ded!
Izzat cool or WHAT!?
That's our mayor!

Light of a Clear Blue Morning
I had a friend since departed who worked for Hans Riedel, a Hungarian who flew a FW 190 on the Eastern Front, moved to the US America and started a successful biz.

When someone claims "thousands" make them provide a list of at least 100 names.
He’s a eugenicist.
Full stop. Trump's Mengele.
"Thousands of hospices", huh?
Let's see. Just this week he got all fucking croaked up about measles in PA. (Vitamin A cures it!) Aside from the evisceration of all of the other vax guidance.

Could not possibly be worse.

"Ninny" is a nice word for her.
Dimwitted, unqualified, vapid bint is another.
The medical insurance industry: You're still here?
That fucking shit. My mother was in hospice for more than 2 years; sorry she didn't die fast enough for you, sicko monster who probably never paid for ANYTHING his entire privileged life. May he die in misery and alone, and I do not use that curse lightly.
That's all any of them do. It's a fool's errand to try to argue or bring facts. They are impermeable to them.
They need knocked the shit out of, IMO.
