THREAD. When my parents' cat Bridget went missing, my dad, to try to ease his worry, painted her on a variety of historical adventures. These soon multiplied. Significantly.

After much nagging, he has had some postcards printed of this brilliant series:

Reagan at least had Nancy to shield him, but Melanoma wouldn't care if he shit his pants behind the Resolute Desk.

This is going to get sooo much worse. He's sundowning like a spent rocket.

Snow just subsided here in the SW after falling all day. It certainly curbed the outdoor Thanksgiving activities.

How many politicians of colour has Trump labeled "low IQ"?

How many white politicians has he branded with that epithet?

Canada's Supreme Court. Prohibited by law from accepting gifts. No one knows their political affiliation (because they have none). Decide cases based on the law alone. Subject to strict ethical rules. Regularly rule against whoever appointed them. #cdnpoli #USPoli

I'm not sure I've ever encountered a smile so eminently punchable.

Andrew Scheer, Captain Smirk, would be a close second.

Q: Do you agree that the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois should be in prison?

MIKE JOHNSON: Should they be in prison? I'm not the attorney general. I'm not following the day to day on that

It's like handing an 8-year-old a Bedazzler or showing a grade 7 kid how to add transitions and sound effects in PowerPoint.

This is the spinning text and ricochet sound of interior design.

I still strive for genius every day, but I view it as an escape hatch from the gloom room. Same with my reading, plunging headlong into fantasy. I'll change when the world gets back to normal.

A few days lately, I haven't made it to genius. There's been a spate of tougher puzzles, IMO

If you're running Windows 10 on a computer that MS has deemed unworthy, know that they've recently had a change of heart and offered another free year of security updates. Be aware that to take advantage of this offer you do need a Microsoft account.

So, if I've got this right, jurisdiction for the environment and resources applies to SK & AB, but not BC.

And they don't have to negotiate with BC, and they *can't* negotiate with the Feds, but somehow if we separated they'd have no issues getting bitumen to the coast.
