After Warsh released the Fed statement, the bond market announced an increase in long term rates.

Not true! I have video evidence that Canada is keep their forests under control by hatchet, axe, and saw.

The closing moments of a recent live performance of the song “Trees,” performed by Rush, with video footage of a clearcut section of Canadian forest displayed on a screen behind the band.

Another “training flight” over Elliott Bay. This has become a common sight, & something I’d not seen until recently. It’s hard to believe this isn’t Trumpy military leaders sending the message that we no longer live in a free country. There is no legitimate reason for two Chinooks to buzz a ferry.

Two Chinooks fly low over a Washington State ferry, moments after they passed over my West Seattle residence at such a low altitude that I thought pictures might be shaken off the walls.

It was a beautiful summer day in Vantage, WA when I drove through there yesterday. I wish I was back there today instead of working.

A bighorn sheep stops to turn its head and look back at me as it walks up a path toward crumbling basalt formations in the hills at Frenchman Coulee County Park, clear blue sky overhead. Desert green sagebrush and dry, golden brown grasses can be seen in the foreground.

I’ve had some long workdays, but at least I made it home by sunset today.

Late evening sun forces itself through a mostly cloudy sky toward the Olympic Mountains, as viewed from Alki Avenue SW in West Seattle. The surface of Elliott Bay in the foreground is quite choppy due to the blustery wind. It’s 59°, pretty typical for Junuary in Seattle.

Did anyone ask Karoline Leavitt about the canary?

Karoline Leavitt stands next to the psychopathic secretary of defense while Trump speaks at last night’s post-incident press conference. Leavitt’s facial expression gives strong “cat that caught the canary” vibes.

Did they fail, or is it just that Trump cronies placed a Bitcoin short sale?

If you have to ask, you can’t afford it.

Tonight’s sunset is better than average.

Clouds glow fiery red as the sun sets over the Olympic Mountains right now. Elliott Bay is in the foreground, and a Washington State ferry heading toward downtown Seattle is centered in the right half of the image.

Donald Trump, Consoler in Chief:

A stupid headline from NYT, “Iran War Live Updates: As Oil and Gas Prices Soar, Trump Seeks to Reassure Americans,” lauds Trump’s supposed effort to make Americans feel better. It would be laughable if not for the seriousness of the situation.

We appear to have finally reached the “sell every U.S. financial asset” phase of this sordid era.

Today did nothing to dissuade me from my suspicion for several months now that the stock market has been tracing out a rounding top.

End of day bar chart showing $SPY having opened above yesterday’s close, only to leak continually throughout the trading session and end the day 1.31% lower. It’s not great that long term bonds are also drifting lower, suggesting that many investors are losing faith in the Trump regime’s management of the economy.

This reminds me. When does Pam Bondi testify?

I’m gonna guess this is a fake account, not the account of the new Supreme Leader of Iran:

These stickers have aged well, unfortunately.

This is promising. For many years, the vacant building on the corner across the street was the headquarters of the local effort to elect Trump. Many other pro-Trump signs used to be visible in the yards of local residents. The only other flag I saw today was a fading Kamala Harris rainbow flag.

A view of a street corner on the main street through the small Eastern Washington town of Sprague. A “F-CK TRUMP” banner is mounted over a carport where a golf cart is parked. An image of a fist making a well-known middle finger gesture is used in place of the U in F-CK. A U.S. flag is mounted on a support post. No cars or people are visible and the sky is covered with low clouds.

It’s a beautiful blue sky day here on Alki. Now that I’ve had my moment of Zen, it’s time to doomscroll on Bluesky; need to see what horrible things are in the Friday afternoon news dump.
