Can attest, after many hours spent coaching the Marine on how to field dress and process a deer, since he turned into a deer hunter a little over a year ago. Blerg.

Slime mold hanging with lichens.
The orange grapey thing is slime mold, Badhamia utricularis. The structures to the right and all around the slime mold is Cladonia lichen. NWT, Canada.

The year is 2026. Trees are exploding in the Northwoods while torpid iguana bombs litter the Swampland. The leader is incompetent and incontinent. He has ordered his personal army to disperse canisters of crying fog on his detractors. The subjects counting down the days until his demise.

I've been going to the Kennedy Center for decades. I took my parents to see Yo-yo Ma. It was a thing for my husband and I to take friends and the kids to see the Nutcracker for the holidays. I loved seeing the NSO there. It's really sad to see a symbol of my adopted home decay like this.

Too many people are reading this situation like Trump didn't already have four years in the saddle and four years to plan this with a vast network of fascist oligarchs. We're in year 9.

Pharmacies too, no order needed. My insurance covered it.

They keep dropping Epstein stuff at the end of the day on Fridays hoping to bury it and it just gives people all weekend to read it lol

This really is the purest example I can imagine of a terminal case of pundit brain. This is the end point of American exceptionalism: we will dig our own grave while explaining how we are a people uniquely incapable of digging a grave and this is a garden, actually

You should not wonder. You should. I'd love this!

This Epstein drop is HUGE and utterly disgusting. I donโ€™t see how this man is allowed to remain in office. Where are the evangelical leaders, the soccer moms, the folks stocking up on eggs, the farmers, the small business owners.

Decide. Who are you?

This is a long and very quotable piece about one of the more bizarre episodes from the ICE surge in Minneapolis.

Read it this weekend. You wonโ€™t regret it.

So anyway, here's where we were (Avon-by-the-Sea, Belmar, Jersey shore) for over a week before this. It was super fucking cold, but that's what wool long johns and ear warmers and rumpl blankets are for.

The Jersey shore was certainly Victorian! Same here. Cute place, really excellent water view. We're across the water from where we live, but it's somehow dramatically different.

We couldn't get into our house today. Frozen snow drift + bad plowing = insurmountable uhhh ice mountain. So we're "stuck" at a cottage on the island for a few days.
