"All they can do, like Mark Alford does, is sneer at the crowds that if they don’t like the cuts that are happening, they can vote for someone different in the next election."

Will there be a next election?

Comer threatened to have Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL) forcibly removed for calling Trump a “grifter.” https://twitter.com/i/status/1894467873373929631

Glen Grothmann (US REP WI-6) went to a town hall in Oshkosh, where he was verbally abused. MY EYES WERE WATERING, I WAS LAUGHING SO HARD!

Vote for someone different? So what, you can re-gerrymander the lines to guarantee that they win?

Stop Musk.

I hope Jay Obernolte had himself a nice wake-up call. Believe it or not, he's such a moderate Republican he almost looks like a Blue Dog Democrat if you squint your eyes a bit. He even voted with Biden 20% of the time! An 11 point margin sounds like a lot, but when it's based on being kind of a half-assed liberal to reassure the independents, it can evaporate mighty fast.

I WISH Mark Alford was a Kansas representative! Unfortunately we're stuck with him here in Missouri's 4th.

I know, I was like: why would you move to Kansas to run against a representative in Missouri? Sounds like Trump when the Chiefs won the Super Bowl in 2020, when he congratulated "the great state of Kansas." I have the t-shirt.

Grothman is a life-time grifter from a safe Republican, 95% white district near Milwaukee. He's been a prick since his days in the Wisconsin legislature. A Scott Walker kind of dispshit. When his town halls are getting a little hot, there is something afoot.

I'm going to the boucherie to buy beef for bourguignon. I've never cooked beef cheek, but it's the favorite braising cut of a chef I like, so I may go for that. However, it is raining and if it doesn't stop, I'll make brownies instead. I have a lot of Valhrona cocoa powder left from my last chocolate project. Even if it stops raining, I may go with the brownies.

The star of bethlehem is already poking out and at the work place some of the sun facing jonquils already got heads XD

I’m not so down on winter but it does help my sleep cycle for it to start being lighter longer. The sun goes down and my higher brain functions try to shut off even when I wanna do something

I get the SADDs which is mitigated by how I work outside anyway, so at least I get some weak winter sun (it does help!)

So spring is my jam XD

Expand full comment
Tza's avatar

Yep. I need to use a SADD light when I eat breakfast. Depending on work schedule and post I might go all or most of the day without seeing much sun (more rare as a guide, but possible). Sometimes on break I just go hang out near the skylights to wake up a little.

You southerners! We won't see anything for another few weeks. And ... where is our last blast snow storm?

I’m a little concerned about that too. Might end up a rain deluge instead?

I'd be ok with that. Last time the jonquils started early and we got a late thing, they did not bloom very well that year

They should listen to the crocus. The crocus never bloom early or late, but always right on time. When you see crocus, spring is here

Yeah the daffodils at my complex are already trying to sprout. Tulips are usually later in March and our handful of irises tend to be April/May.

It's what Jen do's avatar

Tulips and Iris are much smarter than daffs also

But daffs are so cheerful. And it is a hoot walking through the woods and suddenly seeing a big spread of yaller. I go "OH HEY I know where the site is!"
