Same night moonlit scene as above, but with a little more moonlight. Silhouette of a hill is visible and a Cottonwood tree.

Sometimes it just stuns a person that everything is so breathtakingly fucked up.

Night sky with the moon shining through clouds. Lower half of the shot is in total darkness.

"Left unmentioned were nearly all the questions a serious autopsy of the 2024 election ought to have considered: how the Democrats should have responded to the post-pandemic inflation that doomed incumbent parties across the rich democracies; whether the fading president should have run again; whether the nominee in his stead should have had to prevail in a contested process; whether the DNC under Biden’s handpicked chair, Jaime Harrison, should have broken sooner from its role as the president’s praetorian guard; whether Harris should have distanced herself from the administration in which she served; whether to have emphasized themes around democracy, as the Harris campaign did, or the economy, as the leading Super PAC Future Forward did; and how to have handled fallout from the Biden administration’s support for the Israeli government as it prosecuted its bloodbath in Gaza. Not all these questions have definitive answers, still less before all the dust has settled. But to ignore them, as the autopsy did, was to forgo any chance at understanding why a party determined to stop the return of Donald Trump failed in its mission."

I have 7 chickens, but only one lap chicken. Her name is Mavis.

I received an ask for donations from @levernews.com. I subscribe to the podcast. I told them that I'll continue to follow their good work but, owing to their Platner apologism, I have not and will not donate. The response was positive:

The image is a screen shot of the response from The Lever: "Thanks for sharing that feedback, Kristy. I fully understand and will share that inout with the team. Thanks for taking a moment to send this - we do take it seriously."

That's too much breaking news.

She'll vote GOP again.

Screen shot with quote from Michelle - 45, Md., Latina, Republican, construction administration, reading,
"I don’t believe that my views toward Trump impact how I see other Republicans. I think that I tend to be pretty levelheaded. As much as I will declare myself to be Republican, I think that my tendencies and beliefs tend to be a little more independent. While I see myself as definitely more conservative, I do believe that in the next election, Trump has nothing to do with how I will vote. I will vote for someone who hopefully isn’t promising more B.S. But really just someone who has a plan, someone who sounds like they actually have been strategically planning some type of improvement."

Right there in plain site. The Bill Clinton years (1993-2001) fucked us so bad.

Quote segment from the linked article in The Boston Review: “It is fitting that the Mont Pelerin Society, the world’s leading group of free market scholars, was meeting the week that communism collapsed in the Soviet Union,” the Wall Street Journal reported in September 1991. But those gathered saw that as “Communism exits history’s stage, the main threat to liberty may come from a utopian environmental movement that, like socialism, views the welfare of human beings as subordinate to ‘higher’ values.” Communism was a chameleon. It was changing shades from red to green. “Having fought back a red tide, we are now in danger of being engulfed by a green one,” warned Fred Smith of the Competitive Enterprise Institute at a Mont Pelerin Society meeting a decade later. “The forces that once marched under the banner of economic progressivism have regrouped under a new environmental banner.”

I had a visitor that left something in my yard.

Good reporting by UofC's Maroon from November. The details are fascinating. E.g.:

March 19, 2012
Epstein’s executive assistant, Lesley Groff, sent him an email with the subject line “2 Seminars-MONEY & POWER possible Invite List,” containing a list of businessmen and politicians including Pritzker, Marc Andreesen, Jeff Bezos, Sergey Brin, Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, and Peter Thiel. It is unclear what the seminars were or if they took place.

Not sure how such deep freezing temps will impact the #ICE terrorism project. Take care of yourselves and each other, everyone who isn't a fascist.

From the Amtrak train, come into Lamy, NM: photo of southwest landscape, hills doted with piñon pines and cedars, mesas in the background, amazing poofy clouds, and an isolated storm touching ground. Reflection of train windows from the other side of the train.

LOL This isn't going to get us where we need to be.

Absolutely glorious. Unphotographable with my phone and my limited skills

Not going to link to this vacuous, pandering non-news. For shame, @NPR. You're discrediting the CPB, and the good work done at local public radio stations across the country, with your twice daily (ATC + WE) blather.

I didn't (yet) quite get through the 60 Minutes CECOT Segment.

YouTube screengrab of video with title "60 Minutes CECOT Segment Axed by Weiss (Aired in Canada)." The video space reads: "Video unavailable" [in large print] and continues:
"This video contains content from Paramount Global (CBS), who has blocked it on copyright grounds."

Seems like freezing temps shouldn't be accompanied by lousy air quality! Not cool. #chicago

JFC. "Mr. Trump has hung a photo of an autopen in a space where Mr. Biden’s portrait would otherwise be, and disparages his predecessor’s physicality often."

Photo from the NYT piece, described by the caption: "Mr. Trump hung a photo of an autopen in place of President Joseph R. Biden Jr. on the 'Presidential Walk of Fame' he had installed on the Colonnade."

This is what you mean by "touch grass," yes?

Pope Leo, one guy Silicon Valley can’t buy. h/t @levernews.com 💙

screenshot of Pope Leo XIV tweet: "Technological innovation can be a form of participation in the divine act of creation. It carries an ethical and spiritual weight, for every design choice expresses a vision of humanity. The Church therefore calls all builders of #AI to cultivate moral discernment as a fundamental part of their work—to develop systems that reflect justice, solidarity, and a genuine reverence for life."
