    No nazis, no fascists, no monarchists, no nativists, no white supremacy, no hate, no intolerance. None of it! 😡

    I want no part of a political system that finds comfort in unity with literal Nazis.

    The sickest parts of the story are starting to emerge--great NYT story with rich detail about how close we came to a putsch inside the Justice Dept. And a new sidekick villain who may beat them all.

    Thank God. We’re back to good ol’ days of stupid-ass, meritless scandals like watches, tan suits & Dijon mustard. Much better than scandals re insurrection, white supremacy, children separated from their parents, corruption, strippers, abuses of power...

    Just have to say, 's The Raver's Hour is pretty much unmissable radio, and it also drove me to finally register for the BBC Sounds app. Quality Friday programming! Especially here in NYC! Total mood setter!

    Guess someone will have to let McConnell know he lost his majority. 🤷‍♂️

    Mitch McConnell is so concerned that his own obstruction will drive Democrats to “go nuclear,” he is threatening to paralyze the Senate until Chuck Schumer agrees to take filibuster elimination off the table

    Trump is a good example of a person done in by his own defective character. Wretched though he is, I bet he’d have been re-elected if only he’d dealt sensibly with Covid-19, saving tens of thousands of lives. But he was incapable of doing that. He defeated himself.

    EPA said noise below average of 70 dBs over 24 hrs is safe, won't cause hearing loss. Those levels are way above recommendations made by EU. EU set noise guidelines of 40 dBs at night and said steady, continuous noise in daytime should not exceed 50 dBs.

    A generally quiet day is in store (outside of a stray snow/rain shower) with mostly to partly clear skies for much of the area right now. Satellite imagery most notably shows some really prominent gravity waves downstream of the Appalachian Mountains!
