@george-k Now I have to hear Grandpa Got Runover by the Beer Truck. Thanks, George! I can't believe the wiki page went into the marital mixups of the band members. Reminds me of Peter, Paul, and Mary.

@aqua-letifer Post of pics? PM of pics?

Christmas Eve is always too hectic to cook around here. Tonight we had takeout from the Ramen place near 89th’s place... Tomorrow I’ll reverse sear a Beef Tenderloin with a horseradish sauce, glazed mushrooms, crispy Brussels, and sweet potato. For the rest of tonight it’s St. Bernardus, Vince Guaraldi, and swearing at unassembled toddler toys...

@mik said in Christmas pickle ornaments and other holiday treats from Minnesoooooooota: No wai! The pickle is German, but we have one too. Whoever finds it gets to be Santa in the morning. It's supposed to be German, but it's a really big thing here in Minnesoooooota evidently. For the Epiphany party, which we used to do every year around January 6th, all the kids had to find their pickle on the tree. Yes, each child had a pickle with their name written in gold. When all were found, each child got a present. It was fun to see them work together to find all the pickles. LOL

@george-k That is actually very creative! Well done, trash pickers!

Meh, Physically she’s not horrible... Jon’s tagged worse.

@copper said in The Charlie Kushner pardon: @nobodyssock said in The Charlie Kushner pardon: https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2020/12/24/trump-worst-president-cuomo-open-cpt-vpx.cnn Mr. Trump is the worst president ever because he doesn't like this give-away This is certainly one of the most brilliant observations ever Thank you so much for posting it here  These payments were in the President’s own budget proposal to Congress

Very cool. Wonder if they give off "colors" in some other band.

It's done. Well somebody very probably has been. 2000 pages outlining Canada-type freestyling trade. Whatever that means.

Who's da Bard This was on TV couple of nights ago, very entertaining in parts if you have half an hour: https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m000qrsx/upstart-crow-lockdown-christmas-1603

Like most great literature written by men, it was probably written by his wife.

@jon-nyc it’s reasonable to conclude that in isolation Trump’s unprovable allegations of election fraud are a worse precedent than electors abusing faithlessness to express their affiliation with a pop culture mob of hatred against the winner of the election. I did not bring the example up in the hopes of drawing an equivalence between the two, but rather to present an example of something ignored and memory holed - to the extent few people even knew of the scheme - in service of the widespread mindlessly destructive social idea know as TDS. All that said, I do not anticipate claims of election fraud to be as big a thing going forward as they are with Trump. This is an unfortunate bump in the road, a predictable one upon his defeat. You give him more credit than I do if you think the example he is setting, which will fail and which would cost a more normative person reputation, will lead future politicians to follow suit. You can feel free to say I told you so in 4 years as we see how the next loser handles their loss.
