Apparently, in Hungary, when you pardon a pedophile, you lose your job. Not so much in the U.S. In fact, you can be a pedophile and be the President. Ask 91.

A pretty funny article about the current status of the "Take Our Border Back" convoy of extremists https://www.wired.com/story/day-one-take-our-border-back-convoy-texas/

“The promised support had not materialized—not a single truck showed up, tires were reportedly slashed, participants got lost, and paranoia struck the group. In short, the convoy was a complete mess.”

What an enjoyable article.

In northern New Mexico, Darr has seen farmers "drastically" change their perception of beavers. "They were pretty hesitant, but they saw first-hand how the beavers provided sustained, reliable sources throughout the year, even during the hot dry summer we had. To see it is to believe it. We just have to show people what beavers can do for other wildlife, & humans."

Not even sure why I bother to point it out, but if another politician, one day after a school shooting, said “Get over it,” and then a few days later said “I hope the economy crashes within the next 12 months,” their candidacy would be over

@thepoliticalcat Yes, it’s quite possible to read the article without giving any info. My take away was the positive message about self-care after the holidays rather than the thought that a website for introverts shouldn’t exist.

Utah R State Rep. Ken Ivory told ALEC lawmakers it was imperative to get the issue before the SC:

“Please join us in the state of Utah as we look into the legal mechanisms that we have under the Constitution… to [get the Court to] declare that Congress must count the [old] applications. … And if, as we believe, we’ve already achieved 34 applications to Congress for a fiscal responsibility convention, call [it]… and hold a Convention of States.”

6 composite photos of Dick Van Dyke (& me, my class) in black box theater of public perform. arts high school where I taught/directed Comedy class/shows. Dick wanted to see us in action, loved it, asked me to write/direct his annual theater prod. to "make it funnier."

I couldn't believe Dick Van Dyke asked ME to make HIM funnier. Did it for 2 yrs, finally had to quit due to time conflicts.

He visited us, played w/ us, had a ball! I'm the redhead in blue jeans. Here we go!

    Someone asked me what I think is going on with Trump's lawyers attacking the clerk.

    Yesterday I said this:

    "It's hard to tell what is going on with that. My best guess is that Trump's lawyers are fatigued, know they are losing, and are getting weird and paranoid."

    Judge Engoron, who sees it all up close, said there is misogyny.

    I just saw a picture of the clerk and I have revised my opinion.

    The judge may be right . . .

    @Teri_Kanefield A strong women is the typical MAGA scapegoat to blame when he loses.

    @Teri_Kanefield They’d rather we talk about this than the perjury they keep committing.

    earthlingusa,
    @earthlingusa@mas.to avatar

    @Teri_Kanefield My guess is that he knows he’s going to lose in court anyway, but he still needs to win with his base. “I would’ve won if it wasn’t for so-and-so being biased and playing unfairly. I’m the maligned victim! Send more $ and fight for me.” He’s misogynistic, but if there was no woman available to be the scapegoat, he would’ve found a man for the part. Getting attention away from his family’s perjury and having someone to blame his loss on is a twofer.

    @realTuckFrumper We’d all benefit from hearing more of both Tennessee Justins on gun control and justice.
    “First of all, Jen, I want to let Speaker Johnson know that in my faith tradition, when you put objects above people, we call that idolatry. And when you put the lives of people under money and campaign contributions, we call that idolatry. And so let’s not use faith and false thoughts and prayers to gloss over this issue.”
