New York State of Mind

Ultimately climate change will not destroy Mother Earth. But it will likely be the end of humankind. Nature, in her epic fury and goodness, will start over.

The best. She sang this when CBS broadcast Irving Berlin’s early 100th birthday celebration around summer 1988. Check out another clip of her as a singing frog “Ain’t Got No Home.”

Today was a hard one. We all remember when leaders followed laws.

Classic. Happy Saturday, Stella!

Sadly, so much of this boils down to Super PACs. The horrendous and country-ruining Citizens United decision by SCOTUS to allow endless floods of corporate and dark billionaire funds into our elections.

Depressing.

Farewell to HBO.

Shock and Awe.

More subscriptions to cancel. Too bad. I liked HBO.

The Ellisons hired Bari Weiss to wreck CBS News. She’s doing a good job of that. Maybe they will let her destroy @cnn as well.

a black and white photo of a man riding a horse . Alt: Dr Strangelove meme. Trumps head on Chill Wills as he rides a bomb in the classic ending of the Kubric film.

Sure. It’s all fun and games until Hegseth loses a nuke.

He won’t stop until he launches a war to distract from his role in the Epstein files coverup and to create a pretext to cancel the midterms that he will fail to steal with his lie about China trying to steal the next election.

So done with this Ellison/Weiss destroyed propaganda network. For your new anchor Tony Dekoupil to call Trump’s SOTU stream of lies and hatred “historic” and “extraordinary” should tell every American you cannot be trusted. Billionaires aren’t going to change minds by controlling failing MSM.

I have several of them, including two on your shelf. Rocketed me back to childhood always trying to find early Marvel comics that were not super expensive.

Small everything. Audience. Mind. Hands. Camera. Elephant. Zzzzzz

I’m going with a tie between Dictator Tot and Fatty shack.

She basically threw his hand away as soon as they got to their car coming to SOTU. She probably knows all the dirt, the porn stars, the Epstein survivors.

It made a lot of people at Fox happy too. They will play the clips endlessly without context.

So were Melania”s.

It was nearly impossible to hear what Omar was saying, only that she was yelling something. Millions of Americans watching will not understand where she is from, or that two of her constituents were murdered by ICE.

! Love this one. I was at your MSG concert a few years later when you politely and correctly told an incessant pro-George Bush heckler to STFU. You go, girl!

Talarico, in the Texas legislature, consistently emphasizes the need to keep Church and State separate, for the good of both institutions.

It’s fine to criticize politicians for their work and their words. Not fine to put words in their mouths. They’re both excellent candidates.

Thank you! It’s infuriating to watch the sane washing from outlets like CNN and CBS. Well, actually NOT watch anymore beyond headlines on cnn .com and my local CBS outlet.

Happy Sunday, Stella!

Stay warm and safe, everyone who will be dealing with this last gasp (hopefully) of winter.

Many of my friends, all lifelong Dems, have registered as Independents. They’re frustrated Dems engage in GOP-manufactured culture wars instead of building policies to help regular Americans. In example, Kamala promised to go after price gougers, but dropped that message within a few weeks.

The Tik Tocker’s smear attempt was pretty disappointing and may have backfired.

A good friend in Austin says this is especially true in rural western Texas.

He also says friends are having a hard time choosing between Crockett and Talarico. Both seem incorruptible.

He seems focused on pointing out that radical Right MAGA fanatics, many who identify as Christian, engage in hateful rhetoric and actions that are in violent opposition to the tenets and teachings of most major religions. I’m good with that.

Crockett exposes their hypocrisy also.

Both candidates are great. I do not foresee Talarico shifting his stance, should he win. When Jen Psaki first had him on after TX Dems left the state, his firm stance on separation of Church and State and the dangers of Christian Nationalism were compelling. America must remain the land of the free.

Thanks. This is the most uplifting thing you’ve posted imo. American values include pets, despite the GOP’s lies.

15-20”. Probably more on Long Island. Argh. The old snow was almost gone.
