Politics, backpacking, travel, photography, & all-purpose snark. Looks like I picked the wrong election year to quit sniffing glue

Everything is still shitty, so here's a thread of photos from my trip to the eastern Sierra the week before last.

Went through Yosemite to get there...
The pyramids look very different from what I imagined

They had a choice back in 2016 (and, really, every point since): either reject Trump and get better, or go along with him and get worse. And keep getting worse as he does.
These Megan Kelly clips are pretty good proof that a lot of people have gotten much much much worse over the last 10 years

What? So bummed that they're not renewing for S3, even if I didn't love S2 as much as the first season. But Peter Dinklage...I'm intrigued.

What's from Chicago, hates Illinois Nazis, and is holy as fuck?

It's the Pope in 1982.

Iron Chef back in the '90s when they were showing it on a foreign-language-programming station here and nobody I knew had heard of it.
What are your all-time favorite cooking shows?

Exactly. More Democrats means, ultimately, better Democrats.
From @alsowonderwoman.bsky.social:

Don't just kick out the Democrats you don't like.

EXPAND A DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY so the Democrats you don't like ARE MEANINGLESS!!!

Is someone keeping track of the TPRC (Trump Pardon Recidivism Count)? Because it seems like that would be a good idea.

All I'll say about the cave is this: there was never a good outcome possible. It was never going to achieve the stated objective. There's legit criticism of the timing, and of how the optics were handled. There's cause for a leadership challenge down the line. But this was never going to go well.

The chicken is tofu, the noodles are rice, there’s no broth, and they don’t have it anyway
Gotta say, I’m not so confident that you do

Vertigo, where we’re supposed to buy the ridiculous premise that Barbara Bel Geddes isn’t orders of magnitude hotter than Kim Novak
What’s your all time favorite Hollywood Homely fail? When a woman is meant to be unattractive but she’s gorgeous. Thinking of how Safety Not Guaranteed has a key moment where a man’s ex is in the script old and no longer attractive and she’s a knockout who the movie still plays as old.

You see? Trump's cronies are just regular working folks like the rest of us.

I think this bag is fake.

Hermes's flagship products are handsewn using a saddle stitch. A worker marks the leather using an awl and then threads two needles through from both sides.

This results in a tight stitch with no holes between the stitches. The holes here suggest the bag was machine sewn.

That she's a scab is only the second most on-brand Bari Weiss thing ever. The most on-brand thing, also discussed in this piece, is using the Tree of Life massacre to argue that opposition to Israel is anti-semitism.

Always good!

(I'm sure she isn't, since she was appointed by Trump. But in this case, she's really good.)

To be fair, only the DOJ is working hard. Congressional Republicans aren't doing shit.
Never seen politicians work so fucking hard to not feed starving children
