It’s the quote at the end of the viral story about a Nazi at a bar from years ago: “you have to ignore their reasonable arguments because their end goal is to be terrible, awful people.”

@badger2305.bsky.social Opinion on radical political thought I had today: Native communities are literally sovereign nations with which the US has treaties. So that makes them independent … states. Take to the extreme: every reservation is made a state, gets rep, senators & 3 (min) electoral votes.

Particularly that end quote: “you have to ignore their reasonable arguments because their end goal is to be terrible, awful people.”

I didn't think I needed an "always repost the Nazi bar story" but it feels like it bears repeating far too often.

I think it was the pneumonia vax that hit me with a mild fever for a day and a half. Or in combo with COVID (Moderna).

But cue the Violent Femmes …

Deleted my permanent record of everything Laurel has posted.

I liked the original better than the remake, but both were enjoyable movies.

Didn’t mention my name …

Hey, at least you’re a chordate!

Likewise no COVID at my clinic. Got one at a CVS and stocked up on coffee with the Target (bleh) coupon.

Oh yes, vaccines good. I’m also on the schedule for the second Hepatitis B shot (of three) in December. (Tested positive for rubella immunity.)

MN-Stf is short, of course, for Minnesota Society for Testing Fashion.

So in addition to the #NoKings rally today, I also got some vaccinations (COVID and pneumonia). So between the walking, standing, walking some more, and vaccine after-effects. It’s an ibuprofen and early bedtime kind of night.

Way to go! Growing a thing is definitely antifa.

Add “fear of the biting critique of Bruce and Laurel” to the reasons I shall not don an inflatable T-Rex costume.

That was my primary decision-making criteria. Not at all that I’m old and introverted, it was fear of the social faux pas of arriving in the same outfit.

A sea of people marching for no kings beneath a blue sky with high clouds. They fill the street for as far as you can see.

The march down Washington Avenue went on for blocks and blocks and blocks. #NoKings

Submitting my expense report shortly.

Trying to find a way one of those labels fits … I got nothin’.

Against a background of cardboard boxes, the text reads [Green Ronin Logo] vs. [Diamond Comic Distributors Inc Logo] WE WANT OUR STUFF BACK (Here's how you can help!)

Our lawyer went through point by point saying (in legalese), “This is bullshit and here’s why.” [more details at link]

I do it for 7s and for Zs to differentiate them from 1s and 2s due to my sloppy handwriting. I used to slash 0s to differentiate from Os, but dropped that since there were fewer cases of potential overlap.

It is, after all, a sin and a shame. 😉

My brain translates that to “The Rubber Chicken.”

A short-haired grey tabby cat is curled up and napping on my lap.

In other news, I am reasonably adequate furniture for cats.

A cardinal sits on the square stem of a cup plant that has started to turn brown. Fading leaves are in the foreground with a few staying green yet behind.

A white-throated sparrow (which does have a white throat but is more easily recognized by the stripes on its head) is caught in the action of grabbing some goldenrod seeds while perched on a neighboring cup plant that is fading to brown.

My native plants are largely past their blooming phase. Now they provide food and shelter for various wildlife, including this cardinal and white-throated sparrow.

Inexplicably, there are still people who have not yet backed the Kickstarter! Fortunately there's still time.
