A Backyard Nature Experience

Hanging out with young cows grazing near out favourite bench.

Ok. It appears that MAGA has two primary constituencies: oligarchs and those that idealise them as Godlike beings and White Supremacists. It turns out they are split on immigration details over H-1B Visas vs “no more immigrants” from anywhere.

I’m off MSNBC but I did watch Rachel’s Monday she and she hit on critical story re:Musk’s Self-driving car exposure and how DOGE helps him personally.

Conflicts of interest and outright corruption are on brazen display.

In a few months many voters will say “Oops, I just wanted change”

I was trying to spot trans people in a public restroom and someone called the police on me. The step stool was a bad idea.

I can’t wait until Nancy Mace gets caught too. If you shake her hand and say “trans” she will call the police. Is that leadership or insanity? Your reply will tell all.

10 days until Xmas… I need to remind those expecting gifts that I’m doubling down on atheism. The purest form where just acknowledging Xmas violates the rules of our order. (I’m not that committed… just really, really cheap). “I wonder what I will get this year.”

I really should follow back anyone that follows me *but* they have already demonstrated poor judgement. It’s a quandary… probably better to follow anyone that leads with their pet(s).

We put out three hummingbird feeders… hoping for more birds to watch but one bully took over and now controls access to all 3. Territory drives bird behavior like a corner drug dealer getting high on his own supply.

Joy, wonder and connection still exist in nature, art and cautious use of the internet. When you experience such a moment *share*! Today is was the beauty in the stride of a very tiny dog… like a mini-Lippizan stallion on parade. A much larger dog came by and the mini-beast strained on the leash. GT

The worst thing about my age 70+ has to be loosing the neural connections to nouns. I was stopped dead mid-stream in a rant because I couldn’t find the mental path to “Darwin”. I just went silent surveying words related to evolution looking for the great man’s name. Devolution is at work, Charles.

Connecting to the natural world will help survive the crazy onslaught of daily outrage we will read daily.
Like that first inaugural committee they will raise $100M and provide no accounting for those funds. It’s just kick off for the second Great Griftopia of DJ’s Trump of Presidential Norms.

I’m actually looking forward to 4 years of “it’s NOT like we didn’t warn you” posts. Trump just doesn’t know how to do this job and he even had experience. He’s just headed deeper into refusing the assistance of experts. He’ll just fall back on denial, attack and change the subject as usual.
