We watched Anora last night and… I don’t see what The Academy apparently sees.
This whole Bond sequence at The Oscars is… Interesting timing.
Finished reading: A Season for That by Steve Hoffman – A beautiful memoir by a James Beard award winning food writer who also happens to be our tax guy (and friend) finding purpose and meaning amongst the vines of “the Des Moines of Southern France”. 📚
U2’s best album is The Unforgettable Fire.
I’ll take no further questions at this time.
And, I won a round of BINJO and picked up a free growler (here it is with one that we bought).
Our plans for the evening.
Boston Friends, we’re going to be in the area March 23rd and 24th doing some college touring with Beatrix. One of those evenings (TBD) we’ll be hanging out at Grendel’s hoping local friends will stop by to say “hi” for a bit. Save the date.
We LOVE making online acquaintances into offline friends.
This Is Where We Are
The quicker you let go of any notion of how the system has worked in this country, the quicker we can start to work on what we should do about it. Democracy is not dying. It’s dead. We are not on the verge of a constitutional crisis, we are in the aftermath of one. If you still think there will be national elections that will be honored, those now in power have already shown you the plan.

There’s a lot of people out there calling their thing a “revolution”, alright? And they want you to join their “revolution” because their “revolution” is the best revolution. I’m going to tell you a real simple way to know if someone’s revolution is a bullshit revolution. It’s a real simple method. It spans all borders, all countries, all flags, all languages, all right? And I’ll tell you what it is.
Former NFL punter arrested for calling MAGA “Nazi movement” - Boing Boing
Kluwe, who played eight seasons with the Minnesota Vikings, listed what he believes MAGA represents… After finishing his speech to audience cheers, Kluwe approached the council dais in what he called “peaceful civil disobedience.” Police officers quickly pushed him to the ground, handcuffed him, and removed him from the chamber.
This is the way.
