These should have been posted a month ago, but I often go a month or more snapping pics before getting around to looking at them.
More Chilling Than Imagined
I certainly cannot imagine how Dick Cheney’s daughter seems to be the only thing standing between fascism and democracy in this country. All you MAGA mutherfuckers are on notice. Anybody who even suspects they may have one word of support for Spraytan Stalin or any election lie nonsense is my mortal enemy. I’ll be thrilled to help some of you cocksuckers carry your lies and beliefs to the grave. That is something you can really believe.
Weed Tree Re-Invented
I did a little project last spring to clean up a climate-killed tree, transforming it into a pole light for the driveway. The other half of that tree went the same route again this year, but turned out to be considerably more difficult. We needed a new, longer ladder and somebody to watch me attempt suicide by gravity. So I waited until the Town guys were hanging out before their regularly scheduled landscaping activities, and invited them to watch with their flashing yellow light truck while I dropped branches onto the street.
Only issue with the taller side now is it sorta becomes a street light at this point. Maybe I can do a deal with the Town to get that going. These solar pole lights start getting expensive up into the +400-watt range. I had to replace the original unit installed a year ago, due to a failed battery. I haven’t checked it yet, but it was getting drained every night over the winter, so that is probably what went wrong with it. It was a 300-watt model and the new one shown below is an upgrade to 400-watts.
One cool thing about the tree is it isn’t actually dead. The main trunks died off, but it’s now sprouting new branches out of a few spots, so maybe it won’t eventually fail after the roots rot out! It really is a big ‘ol hardwood weed.
Christian = Taliban
It’s Off the Rails
Going through my Youtube™ subscription feed this morning leaves me circumspect about the general state of affairs today. Avs won the Stanley Cup last night! Woot-woot!
Other than that, not gonna go there…
Health Data
Alaska Burning
I’m no expert on deciphering the data in some of these systems, but this looks worse in just simple terms of density and number than what we had here with the Cameron Peak Fire last year. Not in the news because not enough people are suffering from it?
Healthcare and Cops
Why Now?
If recent history is any indication, it should be obvious. Republican margins of victory have been steadily declining in Presidential elections for decades. It was pretty important to hang on to it last time, even if it just happened to be with ya know, Scammy Davis Jr. Ironically, the future voter’s lives they seek to protect with today’s Supreme Court ruling will certainly add to that same untenable electoral trend amplified by the pandemic’s wrath. A new, dark chapter in America’s legal history is now underway, leading to things like raging pandemics, widespread gun violence and insurrections – little stuff like that.
Wanna bet they deliberately leaked it, in a soften-the-blow tactic to mitigate an expected potentially seismic backlash? How’s that investigation going, John Roberts? Expect the bible-thumping zealots to start going after contraception at the state level next. The patriarchal authoritarian medieval religious bullshyt has got to stop. No social entity, be it a government – Federal, State, or Local, Religion, Court or interests thereof hold authority over a free man or woman’s control of their own body.
All aboard!! We are headed towards a failed State, on the authoritarian train to civil war.
Maybe They Don’t ALL Need It
At least half The Court does now. I’m pretty sure those Texas fuckwits Cruz and Cornyn do. At least fifteen managed to pull their heads out this time. Too bad things started getting sketchy in New York again at literally the same time. You can be pro-2A without being pro-stupid. The Court is jacked.
Democracy and the Big Lie
GOP Fake Elector Mule
I been telling people Ron Johnson must be the dumbest mutherfucker in Congress for awhile now. John and Jayar’s view would be amusing if it wasn’t so sad for the country.

The Definition of Integrity
I’m not devout enough to get the Gawd connection, but despite being a staunch right-winger, I believe Arizona House Speaker Mr. Rusty Bowers and me might see eye-to-eye on a few things.
The “State” of Georgia Election Meddling
Looks like we get to hear about Agolf Shitler’s brazen attempts to rejigger the 2020 Georgia general election today, among other things.
Texas GOP Officially Batshit Crazy
Now remember, that’s coming from this clown. I’m not sure if “wild“ even covers it at all, Beau.
