Well, as I finish looking through some photos of summers past - beach, sun, water, amusements, ice cream, etc....

I look out my window and see what is approaching: A bomb cyclone!

Hurricane - blizzard - NorEaster..... choose a favorite, but it's coming, about to bury coastal Northeast U.S., especially New York, Boston, Maine... Major event.

CNN: A bomb cyclone with the power of a hurricane will unleash snow and blizzard-like conditions this weekend

Oh my...
Thin-sliced: Delta (#DeathSantis) Variant, #TrumpVirus on steroids...

(only the drugs that don't work any more, like his 'therapeutics not vaccine' program of profiteering from death)
Article by (real) journalist, Molly Jong-Fast

Even Worse Than Trump? The much scarier scenario is a competent version, outflanking him from the right.

Scary.
McCarthy lays out his plan to de-platform (remove from committees) a wide swath of democrats.

Like a chip off the old #TrumpVirus bloc, hyperbole + saying exactly what he'll do. 😱

McCarthy LASHES OUT After Congress Censures His Extremists

"We're going to hold people to a higher standard....take the politics out of it". As in putting MTG and other luminaries on high-profile committees while targeting Swalwell and other dems to remove and belittle. Would that he and his fellow seditionists are in jail first.

The story - aside from 1 million COVID cases yesterday in the U.S.- is about to break the Internet, already circling late-night TV (Colbert, e.g.) From The Atlantic:

You Have No Idea How Hard It Is to Get a Hamster Drunk

The best-drinking animals on earth: Hamsters.

And you thought they were only cute! They'll out-drink the best.

Please don't try to out-drink your hamster! #StaySafe

Oh no's....
Seth and Fallon test positive; live shows on hold....

'Late Night' host Seth Meyers canceled remaining shows this week after testing positive for Covid-19

I've been to those studios and know the drill, including assembling in a large group, lines, etc.
Even with vax requirements and masks, between local omicron and tourist-imported, it's everywhere where groups are, and breathe.

I did survive a Late Night show early December; guess it was safer then, and line-up was out-doors. But it's worrisome, overall.

Two steps forward (back to live shows, high vaccination rates), One small step back from resumed live late-night.... F'n Omicron!

So... on one hand I've been watching another surge of local reactions to COVID-19 & /20/21/22 -, including a resurgence, or new-surge, of toilet-paper hoarding. Outside observers rightly wonder about human behavior and foci.

Which leads directly to this one-time phenomenon....
Be it surfing 🏄‍♀️or quarantining 🏠, try to avoid this if you can:

Wipeout

Oh joy... having heard from (and called Diane by) Scalice, #GymJordan, and #RabidRubio, now I've earned a once in a lifetime chance to be on a VIP waiting list! Oh boy oh boy! I can fund the GQP #TrumpVirus cult in installments and be a VIP! If I'll only act now! Maybe I can get in on the action! Gee, it must be standing room only! And here's a chance to reserve a seat for the show!

Step Right Up

This also reflects something not widely noted in #media reports framed as a battle for and against factual reportage of "news" or pro/against "alternative fact" based "entertainment" like Carlson preaching to a cult who believe he walks on virtual water...

So let me thin-slice the messaging here. After ignoring the invitations to be a valued conservative VIP member of the original Trump-Brand media empire, now re-branded and enormously financed, I'm being enticed to re-think my having ignored Jordan & Rubio's plea to defend the free world from socialists, and given the chance to be on a wait list for this huge effort a third alternative-reality network, signed onto by all these fundraising slime machines, all using the same template grifting email, sent to all the Dianes out there.

Whew! #MakeAmericaSaneAgain - Stop the #TrumpVirus - #StaySafe

Wow... so the #DeathSantis variant itself has gone MIA in Florida?! 🙈

Omicron’s ride or die Gov. Ron DeSantis appears to be M.I.A. He was last seen nearly two weeks ago

As the state hides its stats & has bragging rights for its super-high number of preventable cases of #TrumpVirus?
So I guess his "plan" (state suicide in the name of freedom, ambition, and profit) is doing just fine, eh?
Wonder where he is? In Cancun with #CovidCruz? Keeping Abbott company in-hospital somewhere? A padded cell?

I have seen a few things tagged #PowerLineFriday - and because it is Friday (Xmas Eve) AND by chance I recently came upon this...

Merry Christmas! 🎅🏽✨🎄 And happy Friday/weekend - all varieties...
The power be with you. #StaySafe
Almost forgot... there's a classic sound-track or two about birds on wires. Here's one. 🍷🎶

Uff.....

Clear enough?

Jan. 6 Panel: Liz Cheney reads texts from Laura Ingraham, Sean Hannity, Brian Kilmeade, and Donald Trump Jr. urging former President Trump to act while he sat around and did nothing for hours during the insurrection

Many will soon be traveling (U.S. Thanksgiving Day into Christmas time).... for many it is the first time in 1-2 years to see family. Or to escape. Or reunite. Or grieve. 2021 - in lockdown and crazy times - has been a challenge - and stressful on everyone. Time to

Ramble On

For me too (something I am thankful for) it's time to "hit the road, Jack!". And for many others, travel to anywhere now is a beautiful thing. I'll be on & off-grid (no wifi/Internet in places) so posts a bit less but photos and music finds will trickle back soon.

Wishing an early
Happy Thanksgiving and Christmas/Chanukah!. (and of course other seasonal holidays as may be yours)
