For church choir tomorrow, I'm making Nanaimo bars, which I've made scores of times, to good effect. Tonight, the melted chocolate that gets spread on top failed. Twice.
All I could hear was Baz, Jeremy, and Paul heckling me, "Temper your chocolate, ya twat!"

Well, it's that time of year again, folks. The magical cold weather phenomenon when the people with too much time on their hands start complaining about the faux "War on Christmas" and wanting businesses to display performative Christianity.

Thinking of my mother, on what would have been her 92nd birthday. She was smart, and funny, loved politics, and was an FDR Democrat to her bones.

The presidency can definitely function. It's been doing so for over 200 years just fine.
Trump is butthurt that he can't just do whatever totalitarian bullshit he wants.
The system is working as intended.

Rs often whine that they lose elections in VA bc Northern VA is overrun with liberals, and that skews the whole state. Yesterday's results make it clear that that just isn't the case. Ds flipped a DOZEN seats all over the state. Virginians are sick of this shit.

Republicans often whine that they lose elections in VA bc northern virginia is overpopulated with liberals, and that skews the whole state. But, yesterday's result makes it clear that that just isn't the case. Dems flipped a DOZEN seats all over the state. Virginians are sick of this shit.

On this date in 1781, Washington defeats Cornwallis at Yorktown, VA, securing America's final independence from the British Crown. For the next 243 yrs, America says No to Kings.

If you don't know if it's real. Then that's not informing people. How did you get a doctorate without knowing how to research and verify claims and sources? I don't like Trump, but this just makes it look like criticisms of him are baseless and made by hacks.
