Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

The gop is a fucking disgrace.

Rupert, come get your orange boy, you petrified old dinosaur turd.

Stamping your little feets and demanding that they see how important you are? Not working anymore.

Roe is not about choice. It is about freedom.

One of our two political parties is a cult whose leader admires Vladimir Putin.

Fucking consultants! (of the political variety)

We will not go quietly into the night; we will not vanish without a fight.

Authoritarian republicans are opposed to freedom for the rest of us.

Prediction: the gop will rethink its strategy of boycotting future committees.

Thanks to your bullshit, we are now under siege.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

… pundit janitors mopping up after the gop

Relentless negativity is not a sign that you are more realistic.

Welcome to day five of every-bit-as-bad-as-you-thought-it-would-be.

The next time the wall street journal editorial board speaks the truth will be the first.

The party of Reagan has become the party of Putin.

There are more Russians standing up to Putin than Republicans.

I’m more christian than these people and i’m an atheist.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

If ‘weird’ was the finish line, they ran through the tape and kept running.

Find someone who loves you the way trump and maga love traitors.

Boeing: repeatedly making the case for high speed rail.

Whoever he was, that guy was nuts.

This blog will pay for itself.

Albatrossity

The end of October is usually a good week for migration in Kansas, and this year was no exception. My trip to Quivira NWR on Oct 30 let me arrive at dawn to see two Whooping Cranes amidst a gazillion ducks and geese, as well as about 30,000 Sandhill Cranes. Which was very timely because I had agreed to do a video presentation for the Celebration of Cranes for Audubon of Kansas, and I needed some images and video!

If you want to see that presentation, it is on YouTube , a video of Whooping Cranes at Dawn is here, and a video of Sandhill Cranes by the thousands is here.

Biden Foreign Policy Picks

It looks like Joe Biden will announce Anthony Blinken as Secretary of State, Jake Sullivan as National Security Advisor, and Linda Thomas-Greenfield as Ambassador to the United Nations. I think CNN was first with the scoop, other outlets are confirming it, and well-connected foreign policy people are tweeting as if this is the case.

It is a joy to hear the names of people who have long experience in these areas. All three will be able to hit the ground running. They have big jobs to do. The State Department will need to be rebuilt and alliances mended. Thomas-Greenfield is a career State Department official, so her appointment will be a signal to the department that competence is once again prized.

Some reactions:

Cravings

I know I am a strange ranger and all that, but I get these cravings for something, and then I eat the hell out of it for a while, and then suddenly move on to something else. Right now, I am all about the grapefruit. I have no idea why, but I have been eating one or two a night every night as a snack. Just peel the damned things and eat ’em, I do. No sugar or anything, just a red grapefruit.

This post is in: , , ,

In case you’re new to Medium Cool, BGinCHI is here once a week to offer a thread on culture, mainly film & books, with some TV thrown in.

Arguments welcomed, opinions respected, fools unsuffered.  We hope it’s a welcome break from the world of shit falling on our heads daily in the political sphere.

Tonight’s Topic:  Unrequited

Medium Cool with BGinCHI – Unrequited

In this week’s MC, let’s talk about a topic suggested in the comments during last week’s edition.

What well-regarded book or film or TV series (or any work of art) did you deliberately put aside and not finish, and why?
