The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
The title of a review of a trailer for a new movie caught my eye this morning:
"Wild Mountain Thyme trailer: What in the name of holy bejaysus is this cowpat?"
Which is toned down a little from the actual line in the review itself, "What in the name of holy bejaysus and all the suffering saints is this benighted cowpat?"
Heh.

I watched that trailer and read the article. I'm a little confused, since the "Wild Mountain Thyme" they play is usually associated with Harry Lauder (professional Scotsman). oh well ...

On the brighter side, baby panda is teething. And he's crawling, but not yet walking. And growing!

I have all of you in my thoughts, even if I am all lurk and no post these days. If it doesn't have a cute dog picture attached, I can hardly stand to look at the Internets these days.

I ran across a comment (on one of the few sites where I actually read comments) that pretty much sums up how I feel: waves hands in random directions because he can’t even.

Thank you for the panda link, Toddson.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
ND, I definitely have concerns, too. Trump and the GOP have been doing their best to strip mine the US for their donors, and that’s going to make it very hard to come back from both the COVID crisis and the effect of the massive shift of resources to the 1%. With a Republican senate Biden’s team will be really hampered in their response. If we can flip the GA seats, that might help. If they could get the Green New Deal in place, that would help on many fronts, but that’ll never make past McConnell if he’s still speaker.
The failure to flip the Senate was so depressing, especially since I went into the election feeling super-optimistic that we'd win control, and maybe even have enough seats that Elizabeth Warren could take a Cabinet post without it messing with the majority to have a GOP governor nominate her replacement. And OMG Tommy Tuberville is making it embarrassing to be from Alabama and even to be an Auburn fan, though I think the way he left was messy enough that the last part shouldn't count.
My current position is that just defeating Trump makes us better off, and we'll just have to keep fighting for everything else. I'm planning to write Vote Forward letters for the GA Senate races and also to donate what I can afford. But, yeah, it's still pretty damn bleak.

I am always happy to share updates on the baby panda (and other cute animal news).
