Set aside for a minute the Joe/Vlad face-to-face on the shores of peaceful Lake Geneva, or even the nauseous, toxix Repubican party here in the US, seeking to erase democracy, or the outbreak of vicious gun violence that’s sweeping this country — mass shootings are being normalized by their countinous occurrence — or maybe a…
As we wander through today’s bitter-sweet events, from Joe Biden ice cream comments about GQPers opposed to the Jan. 6 insurrection/riot commission to “Eat some chocolate chocolate chip,” to Mitch McConnell going in the opposite direction, pleading with Republican Senators to resist the commission as “a personal favor” to him, and all the similarly ridiculous…
In seemingly a preview to the near future, Joe Biden in aviator shades and cracking wise, test drove an electric truck today during a visit to a Ford plant in Michigan — net-zero emissions the key also today in a landmark climate report making it clear fossil fuels have no place in humans surviving climate…

As the supposed work-week comes to end, another non-news dump piled up on a Friday without much major damage, other than the shit which burns through every day-in-and-day-out — welcome to the day before a dumbbell weekend.
