I have a birding problem. Father of 2 outstanding young men. Lover of Mexico, defender of freedom, hater of bullies. My politics lean towards the urbane agrarian anarchist side. Obsessed with finding the Giant Oregon Earthworm.

Just how bad is it? Trump's tariffs and the fate of your favorite tequila and mezcal Is the $25 margarita the wave of the future? Can small tequila and mezcal brands survive Trump's tariffs? We investigate.

I wrote this in one day, which is not my usual MO. Despite the time crunch, I tried to cover as much ground as possible. It's not just about the price of margaritas.

What Have Trump and His Administration Said and Done So Far? Gaza, Tariffs, U.S.P.S. The New York Times is tracking the actions taken by, and significant statements made by, President Trump and his administration during the first 100 days of Mr. Trump’s second term.

Mourning period is over. Time to keep track and fight back. Use whatever media outlet you prefer. Recognize that the NYT will continue to play song with this garbage to the degree it must in order to maintain access to the White House. You don’t have to like it.

I’m much more inclined to think that DEI efforts did not go far enough though they were largely missing the mark, at least in the private sector. I was also troubled by the propensity of some DEI advocates to use it as an ideological purity test and go full shame mode, banning further conversion.

I’m gonna let folks cope with whatever way works for them, by and large. You need to do you, of course.

The USA needs to make Boxing Day a thing. We can dress up like boxers, have a boxer rebellion, recycle lots of cardboard.

I tend to agree with that. We have only one political party with two right wings each trying to come up with just the right framing of platitudes to get just enough votes to stay in power.

Strange for this fellow to be hating on Romans in this day and age. Or, he seems to have forgotten that Jesus was a Jew.

I think I saw that show. Though, to be fair, a lot of bands sounded like they never rehearsed. Or knew how to tune. Or even actually how to play their instruments. I remember it fondly if not very well.

I’ve been blocked by 300 people because, I think, I follow Jesse. I’m just going to assume it’s for the best. Now, how do I block them?

Woah. I’ve never posted a thing and I’m being blocked by nearly 300 people. Not sure how I feel about it.

Iirc, much of it used to buy American made weapon systems. Or American wheat. Maybe some medical supplies if there’s anything left over.
