That doesn’t surprise me. It seems our current God has gone off the res.
Sheeeit …I misspell alla that time. Some mistakes get by my proof reading.
I’ve been watching ducks down at the river.
They do a number of learned behaviors like
mallards waddle up the bank and pick blackberries and
mergansers that pack hunt like killer whales.
I love watching mergansers do their thing. I had a place on a lake in Colorado before I moved down here to Taos and I did a lot of duck watching and goose watching myself. Endlessly fascinating, really.
OT: chewy article by emptywheel covering lots of topics while discussing the indictment of Pound Boy Zach Rehl, held without bail. Starts with Enrique Tarrio’s* calls to stand fast and not flip in a classic prisoner’s dilemma situation**, Rehl’s hassles with his retained counsel (whom he eventually dumped), Rehl’s claim that he was pressured to flip in a meeting the prosecutor arranged without informing his attorney, and then finally, that permit requests for portapottys (potties?) may tie together the persons conspiring to set up the Stop the Steal rally under the guise of other groups’ names. Rehl is attempting to subpoena the paperwork to somehow prove either his innocence or the park service’ knowing complicity. But, I’ve been saying since Jan 7th, follow the money:
Who paid for the travel, lodging, and food for these mooks? Who paid for the “rally” infrastructure, including, yes, the portapotties? https://www.emptywheel.net/2021/09/27/zach-rehls-subpoena-for-port-a-johns-from-the-non-existent-one-nation-under-god/
*remember him? arrested on his way into DC Jan 4th for carrying two (empty) illegally oversized magazines. Was once an informant for the FBI.
**can one do this without committing obstruction of justice?
An anti-masker in line behind me turned to a masked, elderly woman behind her and said, "why are wearing a mask?" She replied, "so I won't catch whatever it is that makes you act that way."

I blame being forced to type in a six line high mail slot in the bottom left corner of the screen, with intermittent variable time lags between keystroke and character appearing since the idiotic code sends every fucking keystroke to the web server one by one. If you wanted to set up the goddamned worst possible UI for composing text, that’s pretty much how you would do it.
I would have said "because I graduated elementary school ".
Wait. “Will close on Monday”? Isn’t it Monday already?
So did they cancel school altogether, or end early in order to get kids home prior to protests starting?
I’ve seen the same articlette in several places, but none that updates with facts about what actually happened. Did protesters show up? Did they just congratulate themselves on forcing the schools to accede to their threats? These should be knowable, externally observable events.

FIFY TPM headline writers. It shouldn’t be difficult to call a spade, a spade in this situation since everything but the timing of the prosecution is pretty clearcut.
Love this man!
Unless it identifies as a Hoe.
And then you’ve got the juvenile snickers from the kids in the back of the class because you said “Hoe”.
Just don’t call me an old trowel
Josh is on with Ari Melber on MSNBC right now. I feel sorry for Juanita (missed her last name) because when Josh gets going, there’s no stopping. He finishes, Ari has another question and…back to Josh. Good thing he asked her something in the first part of the discussion, because Ari never went back to her.
You should be proud of this one.
I love you, girl…
