This is as clear as it gets. Send this to every MAGA nutter you know, and everyone who thinks they are above or beyond thinking about such troubling things. It's here, folks. It's right on top of us and cannot be ignored. What are you going to do?

Very sorry for your loss. K & I send our love and condolences.

Garland Jeffreys: The King of in Between (2023) ⭐ 9.5 | Documentary 1h 10m

We had a nice evening. Chili for dinner, then Kath and my brother Dan finally got to watch the lovely documentary on our friend Garland Jeffreys (I had seen it before). Garland's wife Claire did a wonderful job. I wish the film could find proper distribution.

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

Not sure what it feels like where you are today, but something feels ominous and out-of-whack to me (even more than usual). Extra anxiety. Hopefully it's just lack of good sleep. But these days, anything could happen.

But you know, oh it's really only naturalette
It's just like all of your leathers darling, they don't scare me
I know it's really only leatherette"

Listening to music and cooking and even stupid mall walking (especially when the temp doesn't rise above single digits ) have been essential for a small sense of well-being during this unsettling and unnecessary time. What gets you through the day?

We are calling for a nationwide and international boycott of all Elon Musk-related products and services. Sell your Tesla shares, avoid buying Tesla vehicles, cancel Starlink, and delete your X accounts.

Just because it all seems timely.

That sounds like a good idea!

He's going sign an executive order saving us from the inhumanity of paper drinking straws.

Disgusting.

Love this!

Doesn't seem that long ago we were talking about buying new ice skates and going skating. Now on days like today we're terrified of falling and breaking a bone walking to the garage.

Beautiful winter walk today.

I love Popeye. These are great!

Undecided on tonight's anti-Nazi/anti-Fascist movie selection. What are your suggestions?

Litigation Tracker: Legal Challenges to Trump Administration Actions A public resource tracking the legal challenges to the Trump administration's executive orders and actions.

While the response of the Democrats in congress seems feckless, there is a lot of litigation in process. If you're able, donating to the ACLU is an action you can take that will make some difference.

Not that I don't love Switzerland and Swiss folks. The Italians in my family were sometimes citizens of Switzerland, depending on where the border was that day. 🙂

The number of friends and acquaintances who have passed in just the past 8 weeks or so alone is truly head-spinning to me. Most were around my age, some even younger. Aging has a way of getting your attention, one way or another. This is one of the worst ways.

To Make Ground Beef Truly Great, Just Add Wine. A Lot of Wine. A Swiss stew packs all of the complex flavors of boeuf Bourguignon into a quick ragu. Get excited about g'hacktes mit hörnli.

Tonight's anti-Nazi feature is Ernst Lubitsch's audacious 1942 comedy To Be or Not To Be, starring Carole Lombard and Jack Benny. Dinner is leftover Swiss g’hacktes mit hörnli (link to recipe in comments). Unlike Switzerland, our home is not a neutral country when it comes to Nazis. Must-see film!

Where is an "angry" emoji when I need it?

Having descended (in part) from Canadians, I can assure the current occupant of the oval office that he is depending far too much on Canadians being nice. As a friend recently asked, has the idiot never seen a hockey game?
