    Space Karen Announces Publicity Stunt To Conquer Mars With Dancing Robots

    Optimus’ assessment of the Starship vehicle is not optimal, as it often experiences rapid unscheduled disassembly. Thus his Creator and Overlord Musk is a bit vague about the actual departure date.

    A quarter of US shoppers have dumped favorite stores over political stances

    March 9, 2025 - By ginny

    We’re both trying to avoid spending money at stores that support the Trumpist regime. Looking for a listing of retailers to support as well as a list of retailers who deserve to be boycotted.   “A new poll also found that four in 10 Americans have shifted spending to align with moral views in recent months”   Link: A quarter of US shoppers have dumped favorite stores over political stances

    Northwest Suburban Quilters Guild

    March 9, 2025 - By ginny

    This is one of several local quilt guilds near me. There’s a closer one, but may be more traditional and also trend older than me.   “About NSQG Established in 1979, the Northwest Suburban Quilters Guild now celebrates more than 40 years!

    March 9, 2025 - By ginny

    The most venerable Dems are the most vulnerable, and some need to be encouraged to retire, or risk being primaried. Case in point: Dick Durbin.

    March 8, 2025 - By ginny

    With a board like that, we can look forward to the Grand Ol’ Party putting on the Second Coming of Minnie Pearl, with opening act, TV’s Maharelle sisters. “ Trump said in the announcement, ‘We look forward to restoring the Center to Greatness, and ushering in America’s Golden Age.”   Link: Trump names loyalists from Fox News to Kennedy Center board

  • Sorry About The Mess: Trump Wrecking World Economy

    Post: He’s nuts if he thinks manufacturers will move to the US; they like paying rock bottom non-union wages and they’ll pass the higher costs to American consumers. Lose-lose! What can possibly go wrong?

    Since he lives in his own bubble universe, I’m wondering how long his big donors, the few relatively sane conservatives in Congress, and his “IKEA cabinet” will hold out until the murmurs behind the scenes become screaming fights in the Oval Office.

    Spine of steel? Nope. Skull of rock.

    Maury Povich lie detector meme: It says here… Trump is as dumb as a box of rocks.

    Global economy rocked again as rates on imports to the US from dozens of trading partners rose further, with China hit by 104% tariffs

  • Now Listening: Joni Mitchell | Black Crow

    Joni Mitchell album cover Black Crow. A woman is superimposed over an empty road that leads into her silhouette.

    Text:

     

    ”Black Crow - There's a crow flying Black and ragged Tree to tree He's black as the highway that's leading me Now he's diving down To pick up on something shiny I feel like that black crow Flying In a blue sky I took the ferry to the highway Then I drove to a pontoon plane I took a plane to a taxi And a taxi to a train I've been traveling so long How'm I ever gonna know my home When I see it again I'm like a black crow flying In a blue blue sky In search of love and music My whole life has been Illumination Corruption And diving diving diving diving Diving down to pick up on every shiny thing Just like that black crow flying In a blue sky I looked at the morning After being up all night I looked at my haggard face in the bathroom light I looked out the window And I I saw that ragged soul take flight I saw a back crow flying In a blue sky Oh I'm like a black crow flying In a blue sky”

  • Living On Blue Island In Lake Illinois

    A local bike riding friend remarked today that he feels like he’s living on a blue island. I made sure he sees this.

     

    ”JB Pritzker trolled the president on Friday by claiming he planned to rename Lake Michigan as Lake Illinois and annex Green Bay.”
