Canada, Denmark & NZ seem nice. Sunsets, coffee & mid-century design keep me sane. Gen X. Loss mom. LCSW. I write stuff. Just as messed up as everyone else.

We are back. Jamie Raskin is on @inthebubblepod tomorrow to talk about the results of his Jan 6 Committee & the dysfunctional new Congress.

Drops at 3 am tomorrow morning.

Teen sex trafficker Matt Gaetz is nominating for Speaker sex abuse enabler Jim Jordan in order to defeat adulterer Kevin McCarthy

Party of Christian family values, y’all 😆

The thing about the Speaker fight is that we're witnessing a fight between a rogue group of #Republicans who don't want to bother with the pretense of governing at all against the GOP majority that wants to maintain that pretense but also has no real interest in governance.
The tone of this story seems like a departure for the New York Times. It doesn’t pretend Elise Stefanik is sincere (which she isn’t) and it doesn’t pretend she might be telling the truth (which she isn’t). It’s an excellent story about a dangerous fascist. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/31/us/politics/elise-stefanik.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare
The Invention of Elise Stefanik

To rise through the Trump-era G.O.P., a young congresswoman gave up her friends, her mentors and her ideals. Will it be enough?

The New York Times

Our #NewYears tradition -- #feuerzangenbowle, German for "fire tong punch."

You mull a variety of spices in red wine and add a little orange juice for flavour. Then you place a sugar cone (zuckerhut) on special tongs balanced over the pot, ladle a generous amount of high-proof rum over the cone (151 proof is perfect) -- and then set the cone on fire.

The caramelized sugar drips into the mulled wine, making the drink go down deceptively easily.

I think 2023 will be the year of multiple Trump indictments—and that will be a happy new year, indeed.
Should auld acquaintance be forgot
And never brought to mind
And may the new year suck much less
Than the last three years combined
