Random thoughts Friday, Volume XCVII

  • Wow, Friday snuck up fast this week.  Today really has a Sunday-ish feel.
  • People keep talking about the inevitability of Ron DeSantis, and all I keep hearing is the echo of Scott Walker who, rumor has it, is now the assistant manager of a Petco in Beloit.
  • MAGA got skunked in Alaska and Arizona.  But the fact that Republicans lost races because Americans rejected MAGAts overwhelmingly in competitive races isn’t just a problem for Trump; it’s a problem for the GOP.  No sane Republican will want to run in a primary when the likely opponent is a no-hold-barred Trumpian who will broadcast slurs and conspiracy theories.
  • This week was so bad for MAGA, it exported its failure to Brazil.  Bye bye, Bolsonaro.
  • “Congratulations, Millie.  You’re now the pamphlet girl for every right-wing fundraising cause.  That interview’s got to be worth at least 20, 30 million bucks in contributions from people who think you’re going to distribute dime bags of Hawaiian Sens at junior high schools, along with condoms and fornication manuals.”–Leo on “The West Wing” after the TeeVee Surgeon General endorsed legalization of marijuana in a scene first aired in 2001 but oddly forecasting today’s GOP talking points.
  • Nothing can put me back into a single moment in my life than Natalie Merchant’s voice.
  • I’m really tired of everyday people having to turn into heroes because some angry idiot can get a gun on demand.
  • Respect to Thanksgiving.  It’s a holiday that’s not trying to be something else.  Christmas is about buying things.  Easter is now Spring Break.  Even Memorial Day has turned into National BBQ Day.  But not Thanksgiving.  The first Thanksgiving was about food and that stays true today.
  • There will be a day when I have used all the teabags in the house.  It will not be today.  Or next year.  But it will be here someday.
  • Imagine in 2014 if you heard that Donald Trump, Kanye West and Nick Fuentes had dinner together.  It would have meant nothing to you.  It should still mean nothing.
  • Imagine learning your father spend Thanksgiving week with Kanye and Nick, but you didn’t get an invitation.  (By the way, Jared has been attending World Cup games to please his benefactors.)
  • The people who frequently quote the Constitution and the Bible most likely have not read either.  They know snippets, but not the gist of the stories.
  • Forget the car insurance monitors that track how fast you go to determine a discount.  Give the discount to people who routinely use turn signals.  Regardless of speed, signaling is a sure way to reduce accidents.
  • There’s a major difference between Musk’s companies.  SpaceX and Tesla are, at their core, companies that rely on hard sciences like physics and engineering.  Results are immediate:  if your project is successful, your car goes forward or your rocket doesn’t blow up.  Twitter is more social science than hard science, and Musk is running it like a “hard science” operation with results are instantaneous, hence is Twitter polls.
  • Between Alito and Thomas, the Supreme Court was trashed before Trump’s additions.  
  • Now that we’re officially into the holiday season, the best holiday special cartoon characters:  Frosty the Snowman takes the top (hat) spot.  Rudolph deserves credit for putting up with bullies who only like him when his deformity benefits them.  (The Island of Misfit Toys is just dark, though.)  
  • Enjoy the leftovers, the best part of the holiday.
