" ... they’d hand you the script where you had to speak the way they thought native people spoke. And in order to get my foot in the door ... I went along with it for a while … You gotta look stoic. Don’t smile … you gotta grunt a lot. I don’t know anybody who behaves like that."

As '50's kids we were permitted to tune in to The Voice of America, broadcasting from radio HCJB, Quito, Ecuador. It thought it was the world's first xtian wireless racket. To little me, like 5 or 6, its very noise was sinister.
Does anybody recall that movie which starred Snarlin Marlin and hot stockman crckity Jack as top fish in the Broken Missouri? Was it much good?

This is the most compelling case I’ve seen yet that America is no longer a democracy but an authoritarian state. Not a *soon-to-be* authoritarian state—a *current* one.
This Labor Day, I urge you to join a Workers Over Billionaires protest. We must continue standing together to show Trump that we, the people, have the power – not his billionaire buddies and corporate cronies. bit.ly/4lMgKaR

Corporations socialize their losses and privatize their gains.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

CA Attorney General, Rob Bonta, announces a huge final victory against Trump’s regime for withholding nearly $7 billion dollars in critical public education funding before the start of the school year! Trump and his administration will pay the full amount! A huge victory for our children! 🎉
Trump has revoked Secret Service protection for former Vice President Kamala Harris, according to a senior White House official on Friday. The people insisted on anonymity Friday to discuss a matter not made public. apnews.com/article/trum...
I paid his offspring $15 when I interrupted them from 'dozing it into the old well with a lot of priceless 1880+ years old furniture. They seemed eager to remove the very idea of being blacksmith's kids. I had to pay, but fuckit I was 15, and being the local preacher's kid I got the bed!
Both sides of my astonishing Finnish electric blanket are set on fry. I can smell the crackling here next room in my office. I won't be capable of resisting that lovely old cot. Kanmantoo blacksmith bought it for his wedding in ~1880.
I reckon I'm ready for a serious plunge into the Kanmantoo blacksmith's bed. It's kept me asleep for fifty years.
🔥 @mizzwelch.bsky.social : “It’s the complete moral collapse of the 🇺🇸 government… the cabinet meeting with 3.5 hours of superficial praise is so cringeworthy… he redecorated the Oval Office like Marie Antoinette and built himself a ballroom because he has zero intention of leaving…”

Last time I dined here, Julie Christie sat smoking Gauloise and reading the paper about two metres down the bench; my favourite Parisian feedery:
Turtles or tortises? I was taught that tortises walked on feet, while turtles swam on flippers. This appellation seems to be fading with the years . . .
We have these tunnels that go through the reservoir wall and turtles go up them thinking they are heading upstream so they require rescuing.

The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it. ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures. Losers with power become the most dangerous kind. (c/o Caroline Codsi)
This tawny frogmouth would like a word with Bob Katter.
Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, who resigned from the CDC, revealed that RFK Jr. has NEVER been briefed by CDC experts on measles, flu, or Covid: “No one from my center has ever briefed him on any of those topics…He’s getting his information from somewhere”

My emergency ward was highly entertaining . . . it was One Flew Over the Cuckoo's nest in slow motion. Then fast. Then slow and crazy again.
Yep. They're amazing. I wish I could take deeper pleasure in that knowledge. I gotta hang on. And on. And on. Which makes one wonder about its inestimable worth. Happy days.
Too much miserableinity sport. This is gutter. But I have only my splendid physicians to trust and lean upon. And they're good!

4/10 sister. Livin on PKs. Doc just decided they should scan [again] my right wrist, which is nothing more than agony, when it's the one my crutch depends upon. Can't do much. Since I was in Flinders, there are many agencies which want to help, but few which end up meaning much. Overdown with beeps.

CA FOLKS - Donald Trump can't win the 2026 midterms fair and square - so he's trying to cheat by calling up his cronies in red states and asking for seats. California: YOU have the power to stop him. Vote YES on Prop 50 to defend fair elections and STOP Trump's election rigging.
Here's some good news: Catelin Drey won a special election this week to flip a seat blue in the Iowa Senate and break Republicans' supermajority.

It's a good day to stay indoors out of that terrible weather that is raging outside. So it might be a good day for some feed cleansing. Here's an unusual view of a wedge-tailed eagle that I saw up near Woomera some time back. Look at those talons!

Pond by the highway still as glass. Cattails at the south end taller? Cows nowhere.
As long as guns are easily available to crazy people, mass killings directed at so-called soft targets will continue. This is a fact. Countries where it's more difficult for crazy people to obtain guns have less shootings. This is also a fact. Do with these facts as you will.
These are the indicative estimates of Russia’s combat losses as of Aug. 28, according to the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
