In non-political news, I turned on the heat! Just for a few minutes to make sure it still works since I haven't turned it on in over a year or longer. It is currently 62, but they are saying this cold snap may get us to 47 tonight! I closed the windows last night. Whee! Back in the 70s and 80s the rest of the week, but Winter tonight! Also, super pretty sunset tonight has the sky still streaked with pink.

I think I'm going to need to join a religion that allows me to discriminate against Christians or something. But only when I want to. Like when I don't want to bake them a cake but I also don't want to be kind to my neighbor or immigrants or poor people. Is that Pastafarian? Or Church of Satan? Or?

Oh lord, I just got into it with some troll whose account name is "Charlie Brown" in a friend's Facebook comments. I called him a troll and dismantled his bigoted comments, and then said "[Friend whose FB page this is], I'm sorry I just called your friend a troll, but this is just sad."

Friend messaged me, and it turns out that Charlie Brown is not his real name (shocker), and it's someone I know, who is in fact a horrific bigoted shitbag. So I actually feel pretty good about my work there. I wasn't just yelling at a random troll; I was yelling at a troll I go out of my way to avoid on the very rare occasions we happen to be in the same place at the same time, because he is a shitbag from hell.

Let's see, we should see a high of 47 in another three weeks.

I jumped all over one of my son's "friends" for his idiocy, knowing son agreed with me. Then flounced off after quoting him my tag line. That was after he had responded with a video of Sean Spicer as proof. I almost choked, but knew I had spent enough time.

Plans for tonight include red wine, pizza, and Night Court. Maybe some DVR TV too since I have quite a backlog there. Make me laugh big screen on the wall!

Well, Sean Spicer can be useful to prove the truth of a statement. You can pretty much rely on anything he says not to be true.

Any attempt at an LGBT+ ban will be met with the same resistance as the Muslim ban, and stomped on as unconstitutional just as quickly. Surely they don't expect otherwise.

Well shit. One of my friends, who has an 18 month old, who I used to trade lattes for baby time? Just got diagnosed with ALS. That sucks so incredibly much (and god, what a time to be worrying about ACA, eh?)

I'm sorry, meara.

The Boy Scouts just surprised me, in a good way, if the NYTimes headline can be believed.

I'm wondering if all the flamboyantly horrible shit is being tried now so that they can get through other horrible but less inflammatory stuff with less fuss later because it seems measured and reasonable by comparison.
