Justice Matters – This is long – 11 minutes – but passionate and, I believe, important.

Really American on Gosar

Meidas Touch – I have to admit this scares me.

Robert Reich – The Week Ahead (7 1/2 minutes but multiple topics)—Dang, it was good when I saw it.  Maybe he’ll put it up again.

The Freedom Toast for the Parody Project – this is from January, but I don’t remember seeing it.

WWWendy posted it as a comment in yesterday’s Video Thread, but I am copying it here because not everyone looks there:

HI EVERYONE, WENDY HERE – WANTED TO GIVE AN UPDATE ON TOM.  WE SURVIVED THE MOVE ON SATURDAY TO THE NEW FACILITY.  VERY LONG DAY FOR US BOTH.  TOM IS ADJUSTING WELL, GETTING USED TO HIS NEW ENVIRONMENT AND RESTING UP THE BEST HE CAN. UNFORTUNATELY, THERE WERE SOME COMPUTER COMPLICATIONS AND WE HAVE A REPAIR MAN COMING ON WEDNESDAY.  I TOLD TOM THAT I WOULD POST AN UPDATE – THE MOVE CAUSED A LOT OF DISCOMFORT AND PAIN FOR HIM AND HE IS VERY EXHAUSTED – HAS BEEN IN BED RESTING SINCE SATURDAY AND HOPEFULLY WILL BE UP AND ABOUT WITH A COMPUTER BY WEDNESDAY IF EVERYTHING GOES AS PLANNED.  NEW PLACE IS TREATING HIM WELL {WITH MY SUPERVISION OF COURSE – LOL}.  I THINK IN THE LONG RUN, THIS WILL BE A GOOD MOVE TO PROVIDE HIM WITH 24 HOUR COMFORT AND CARE. 
BEST REGARDS TO EVERYONE – THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED CARE AND SUPPORT OF TOM AND i.

The emphasis is mine  – our guesses were actually spot on (although we didn’t mention the exhaustion, I feel sure it was always there in our minds.  And Wednesday is tomorrow!

I was already feeling much better today and this just puts frosting on that.

The Lincoln Project “Trump’s Big Lie”

Really American – Sad.

Now This News – Aaaaaaw! Watch these firefighters carefully free a poor squirrel who got its head stuck in the knothole of a tree. Once freed, the little guy scampers off like nothing happened 🐿

John Fugelsang – “Tucker Carlson’s Baffled Bitch Face” – CC in Portuguese – too good not to share – had to delay a day to get a full transcript.

Hello, I’m Tucker Carlson, titan of journalism, beloved by millions, and chances are your grandma already likes me more than she likes you. Got a question. Has this ever happened to you? You’re at your job and you’re debating some virtue signaling human rights activist on your highly rated prime time cable news show, and your very well intentioned snowflake guest is talking about marginalized peoples (that’s their way of calling you racist.) So you counter back by saying that shifting demographics is causing economic anxiety among traditional Americans, which is your way of saying, fuck you who cares if I am. What if I told you there was a way to shut your opponent’s entire narrative down without presenting any counter argument or even any facts. Well, I’m proud to present a brand new online workshop where you can learn my patented, trademarked secrets of Tucker Carlson’s Baffled Bitch Face. That slack-jawed, lipless, mouth agape look of constipated befuddlement that I have mastered, which has made me the hero to millions of guys around the world, who’d like to own the libs, but don’t have time to learn shit. In my new online workshop. I will teach you how to pull focus away from whoever’s speaking by using my trademark, lipless concern troll stare. It looks like a simple doughy grimace, but what you’re really doing is conveying to your entire audience. I don’t know what you’re talking about! I’m trying to understand you, but I don’t like the things you’re saying! I don’t want to understand you! I’m going to make this face until the elderly demo hate you (Inarticulate howls) “Let Dancing With The Stars veteran Tucker Carlson show you how to relax your chin into your neck and find your douche in the headlights gaze!” I think I think I think you’ll find in the early days. It helps to verbalize when you’re practicing the face. Go ahead and make the sounds that match the look (inarticulate wails) “All new exercises!” Wait a second – taxing people who can afford to pay a lot more. A little more can help offset the deficit? [Boinggg] Wait a minute – I should treat trans people like they’re people? [Drumbeat] Once you’ve mastered my dismayed, crypto fascist, misogynist scowl, your enemies will run away faster than my own advertisers! [party horn] Tucker Carlson’s Baffled Bitch Face – Release your smug!

Beau follows up on yesterday’s predictions with amplification and advice.

OK. I’m concerned too.  But I am, and I’m sure you all are, continuing to pray (or, as he says, however you communicate with the universe.)  Please continue … and if possible read the comments in yesterday’s “Still Not A Personal Update” and add Lynn to your list (I am slowly improving.)

A Blast from the Past

I’m not precluding the possibility there still could be one, but as late in the morning as it is, I’m suspecting that setting up the computer is taking longer and needing more work than expected – and, if a tech is going to be needed – today is Sunday.

So here is a place to hang comments and wishes for him.

The puzzle of the day is marmalade jars – I’ve done it more then once and it’s wicked, so I’m not going to try while on the TENS.  But it’s here.

This isn’t from too far in the past … but it is a blast.

And remember not to let Republicans steal your future!

Just a place to hang comments on for TC while he is moving.

I know I wish him (and WWWendy) a maximum of accomplishment and a minimum of glitches – and I want a place to say so.  I imagine everyone else does too.

Here’s a link to the Puzzle of the Day – although I changed it to “48 piece classic” before copying, I expect you’ll have to change it again, as I’m not a member.

Here’s a cartoon that fans of old movies are sure to appreciate:

Believe it or not, there is a moving company which has a website which includes a playlist for Moving Day.  This one is right at the top.  Just don’t look too closely at the lyrics –

And, whatever you do, DON’T let Republicans steal your future!
