Day off today. Major hike set with spouse, son, fiancée and her parents. Need to get pumped up.

It starts with about 1,700 vertical feet in less than a mile. Then levels off. We’ll see how I can handle it missing some key spinal pieces.

Psyched!!

PS - this is the stupidest idea from a regime that comes up with stupid ideas on a daily basis:

Trump administration considers building baseball park in Grand Teton National Park

Major League Baseball contacted the administration about hosting a game in a national park, and an agency official scouted Grand Teton this week as a possible location.

I just watched the new John Oliver on the wiles of the United conglomerate (parent of United Health plus plus plus), which is the third largest corporation in America. Then I read the intro to today's Big newsletter (Matt Stoller) and I say

Welcome to the United States of Calvinball.

Here's John O. doing hero's work again

Stoller has important points about what we're up against if we win the midterms or in 2028. I can't paste enough text here to do justice to his article.

"The most important thing to get about the older generation of Democrats is they are fundamentally uninterested in the real world. They have a form of politics, but it is unrelated to governing. It is about validating each other as savvy and polite, while deferring to objective experts. That’s why they love ‘independent’ agencies and asking for studies and vague regulations.

And that’s why this merger challenge was so important."

The opposition will threaten, and act upon their threat, to hurt/kill people if they don't get their way, just like Dotard does.

We're going to have to be willing to back up our words by getting hurt and, in some instances, people will die. Is our pols ready for that reality, I dunno. So I'm with M.M. get ready for nothing to happen.

Basically, the capitulation we just witnessed with the Paramount merger is merely a prelude of what to expect from the Dems if we win. GAH

Yes I'm a little slow on the uptake sometimes. Because I'm a stubborn old mule, I still hope. At least if we turn out in numbers too big to ignore, maybe some good will come of it, better than nothing.

Next up: Mamdani versus Amazon.

"Amazon is pushing back. The company warns it might pull its delivery operations out of New York City if the bill passes, leading to fewer jobs and longer delivery times because drivers would have to pick up packages from hubs in Connecticut or New Jersey. DSP owners who would lose their Amazon work have mobilized against the proposal, saying it would destroy their firms."

Wait! What's that white stuff? Snow? This time of year?

Can't be.

The snowfield at St Mary's (formerly glacier) finally melted away a couple of weeks ago.

I remember my friends skiing it during the summer back in the early 80s.

But remember kids, humans have had nothing to do with this, nothing.

"This is exactly why the time to sound the alarm is now, and not Nov. 10 or Jan. 3 when undoing irrational and unlawful moves by the White House will be much, much harder. Look, TV punditry and newspaper analyses that stop pretending the president is a well man, or newspaper editorials calling for his resignation, or leaders in Congress backing impeachment won’t end the crisis...today. But calling attention now to Trump’s gross unfitness to hold office will set the stage for the battles to come — moving the Overton window on what can be done to restore democracy and helping any sensible Republicans understand there’s still a way to save both themselves and the country before it’s too late.

The right words matter, a lot. We need to start urgently looking for them."

By now most any one reading this comment will have heard about the Brits arresting five suspects for a possible attack on an RAF base that houses US military planes. It is most likely at the behest of the IRGC. That has not been confirmed but it has all the markings of a state sponsored attack.

It is only a matter of time before the Iranians launch an attack on US soil. Don't be surprised if one day you read about a drone attack on an American military base or government facility here in the US. Trump and Hegseth may have started the war but the American people will have to stop it.

And as we've seen with how Biden ended the last Forever War, the criticism was on the Dem, not the dumbass (R) who got us into the mess in the first place.

Or the dumbass R who made the deal to remove the troops without any plan on how to do so - leaving it to the next President who happened to be a Dem and had the courage to do it. The Taliban suck, but does anyone really think we should have stayed there or miss being there now?

Hiking with the new fiancée?! Risky.

We have an old canoe and some kayaks, and when kids visit up here with sig others they often get stuck with the canoe while instead of a zippy,light kayak.Every single couple ended up fighting while canoeing - it’s heavy and cumbersome and you have to cooperate to steer it. I found out one year my daughter in law calls it “the divorce canoe” 😂 It’s a test of a relationship.

Most embarrassing thing about Trump is he's not Hitler. He's not even Mussolini. He's the Sultan from the third Indiana Jones movie who gives the Nazis free use of his army and territory because they gave him a Rolls Royce Phantom Two.

There's no sanewashing there either (he points out the "precedent" sanewash by some other fuckwad news outlet).

As opined by someone on Bsky, I reiterate that whoever is elected to the Office of President should be made to sign a lease agreement covering everything they're not allowed to touch AND the date by which they are automatically no longer President. Transfer of power could always thereafter be a peaceful, automatic operation. If you don't sign on the dotted line, you forfeit!

Oh whaddayaknow! It's the very article you linked to that Tiedrich assails.

Good luck getting up the mountain today - just remember how much easier it is on the return trip back down 😁
