Thursday, May 16🌺

  1. Workmen are absent today from next door’s landscaping project & the silence is profound and welcome.
  2. I have no idea of their home base or destination, but two big mallards have chosen my yard for a twice-daily, very fast fly through. 🦆🦆
  3. Ate dinner for lunch (chicken thigh & rosemary fries) and fell back in love with the air fryer.

I've been asked by the fam to 'just knock together some vegan baklava'. I don't want to be a dick about it, but I feel like it might not be a 10 minute job. Just wondered if anyone has any pointers? I assume I replace with maple syrup?

Taxpayers are paying for GOP clowns to attend Trump's trial in New York and spout lies as proxies for the gagged, bloated traitor.

Taxpayers should be reimbursed for the ENTIRE 2022 GOP congressional term, excepting the last day they voted on the Budget. They have done NOTHING for their constituents or the country since being sworn in (which oaths were big, fat lies).

#TrumpTrial 🧵 Thursday 16 May 2024

Cross-examination of #MichaelCohen resumes, an opportunity for the defense to poke holes in his testimony & perhaps trip up or provoke the state’s key witness. The questioning of Cohen, #Trump’s fmr fixer, is the beginning of the end of Trump’s #criminal trial, which began April 15 & might conclude before Memorial Day weekend at this pace.

…and yet, it’s likely all, or almost all, will be re-elected in November. Too many Republican voters are either willfully ignorant re their Representatives’ conduct or they’re all in a masochistic and/or Munchausen syndrome by proxy relationship. For example, how many Bills has Jordan’s passed in his years in congress? 🙄

"Florida will eliminate climate change as a priority in making energy policy decisions, despite the threats it faces from hurricanes, extreme heat and toxic algae blooms.

On Wednesday, the state’s governor, Ron DeSantis, signed the legislation, which is set to go into effect on July 1. The measure also removes references to climate change in state law, bans offshore wind turbines in state waters and weakens regulations on gas pipelines."

In considering replacing my elderly (2018) IPadPro, I walked through the Apple sales configuration dialogue yesterday.

It’s weird, but I didn’t see the options for “CONFERS ‘EXPERT STATUS’” on:
Epidemiology
International diplomacy
US Constitution & all associated legal matters, especially trials & appeals
SCOTUS
US & Int’l politics
Presidential debates, polling & election strategies
Climatology
World religions
All inequality
AI & its implications
Strategic war tactics
—— and every other damn thing (almost) everyone on social media opines about.

Must have missed it. /s

Posting from my new M2 iPad Air. It is so light! This is an 11” model, whereas my last one was the 13” one (with not nearly enough memory). I’m surprised that the virtual keyboards are different, so I’ll have to get used to that.

I used to always get the pro model, but I’ve come to terms with the fact that the hobbies I think I’ll have rarely come to pass. I’ll get the new pencil once I make a real commitment to learn how to draw.

I was just pricing out the 11” Air yesterday as my iPadPro from 2018 is faltering a bit. Glad to read your comments, thanks.

(Procreate is a great art program, and “Every Tuesday” website & YouTube channel is very helpful with all aspects of iPad art, as is “James Julier Art Tutorials” on YouTube.)

  1. Re-landscaping construction continues next door keeping me inside, but also reminding me how precious is this neighborhood’s silence 99% of the time.
  2. My roses are resting, but all jasmine & oleanders are in full bloom, and a couple of crape myrtle blossoms have appeared. (Pics below only show a portion of plants.)
  3. Amazingly good & amazingly easy homemade wor won ton soup last night, with leftovers for tonight.

Will Trump be criminally convicted in his election interference trial? If so, will it affect the election?

cynblogger,
@cynblogger@sfba.social avatar

@mastodonmigration @rbreich

It would take literal generations to recover our fragile democracy, integrity of the rule of law, and honor under NORMAL conditions. Factor in #climatecatastrophe that will decimate our economy for disaster relief, uncontrollable death & forced migration due to famine & unlivable conditions, the collapse of the food chain beginning with marine life, and we’re finished as a civilization.

What exacerbates the situation is intentional genocide fueled by the fossil fuel industries’ and other mega-corporations’ greed, effected by stupid pawns like Trump.

Since irises are showing their beautiful faces now, here are two of my fave pics from a (genuinely) medieval garden at the Abbaye Royale de Fontevraud, Loire Valley, France. (Although their remains are absent, this is the original burial site of Henry II, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Richard the Lionheart, etc.)

Three violet, rust & rose-colored irises against a light-colored stone wall.

From time to time, a single golden eagle came by to secure some of the carrion. This was always heralded by great commotion among the ravens, who all scampered off and took cover in the trees.

Trump’s defence team is going after Michael Cohen for hating Trump.

Of course Cohen hates Trump. Trump’s hush money and election fraud scheme ruined Cohen’s life and landed him in prison. It also cost him his business and law license on top of putting his wife and kids through hell.

How could anyone expect Michael Cohen NOT to hate Trump.

Ummm…Cohen was not an indentured servant. He willingly worked for Trump for years, and he knowingly participated in illegal intent & actions.

Instead of dealing with daylight savings by springing forward once a year, let’s simplify it by spreading that out across the 34 weeks of daylight savings by moving your clock forward .567 hours once a week or .081 hours per day from March to November.
