"The cartoon that was killed criticizes the billionaire tech and media chief executives who have been doing their best to curry favor with incoming President-elect Trump. .... To be clear, there have been instances where sketches have been rejected or revisions requested, but never because of the point of view inherent in the cartoon’s commentary. That’s a game changer…and dangerous for a free press."

Why I'm quitting the Washington Post

Democracy can't function without a free press

SANTA CLAUS knows if you're asleep or awake and if you've been bad or good, and in the middle of the night he breaks into your house. We put up with his egregious STALKER behavior because he gives us **stuff**. Heck, some of us even encourage and reward this creepy and highly illegal behavior by giving him milk and cookies. Merry Christmas, enablers!

Cute show. Saw a friend play a mouse.

Achilles update, 12 weeks: My ortho said it's time to wean myself off the boot when I'm out and about. So you might see me limping around like Igor in _Young Frankenstein_.

It'll still be 2-3 months before I can run again, so now's a great time to hang out with me as insurance against bear attacks. You could easily run away while I gave in to fate. [Insert Winter's Tale joke here.] Or maybe I'd make friends with the bear, and I'd name him Paddington, and we'd all go out for marmalade.

Achilles update:

My ortho told me to wean myself off the boot. Which I started to do immediately -- not because I hate the thing, but because I love it so much I want to set it free.

For the moment I have a limp, so I got thinking about & searching for: canes. Stylish ones, of course. I even found some sword canes, because duels can happen at any time, and a gentleman likes to be prepared.

I also discovered "bull organ canes." Which are made from exactly what you think they're made from. 😳

My knee scooter (context: achilles injury) has a recommended speed of 2.3 mph. No more, no less. And no speedometer. So if I get pulled over for being too far over or under the scootin' speed limit, I'm blaming the manufacturer. I'm doing the best I can.
