What with my personal
loss this week and the continuing numbskullery surrounding the post-Parkland
debate on whether it’s better to exercise some common sense around free access
to every type of firearm known to mankind, as opposed to arming teachers who
are already picking up the slack for cheese-paring school districts; having
alt-Reich nutjobs (of the type who showed up in Charlottesville last summer) to
voluntarily kit up in all their compensation-issue body armor and
military-grade hardware and “protect” schools; banning backpacks at schools to “make
them safer places” [like it’s the third-graders who are bringing in Mac-10s and
not the alt-Reich nutjobs]; replacing video games with Jesus in the lives of
everyone under the age of…I dunno; and all the rest of the NRA-generated “solutions”
to the murders we’re witnessing with appalling frequency here in the home of
the bravado…
I just need a break.
So here are a few
frisnics I scraped from Twitter yesterday, in between reactions to President
Bone Spurs’ declaration that if he’d been at Marjory Stoneman Douglas high (or,
apparently, any) school, he’d have rushed in to confront (and take down) the
shooter (even though the latter—as an alt-Reich nut job—meets the Bone Spur
criterion for being a fine person), and saved
all the kids, and Georgia GOPigs threatening Delta Air Lines with loss of
tax-free jet fuel for ending its partnership with the NRA.
Gawd.
(I confess that I’m of two
minds about this Georgia-Delta spat, because I think it’s time that large corporate
tubs stand on their own bottoms. If you can’t keep your multi-national Fortune
100 company in the black without millions and billions of dollars in “tax
credits”, you’re basically running your business on taxpayer subsidies, and
there’s a word the GOPigs use for that when applied to individuals: welfare.
But this post is not about that particular outrage.)
There was a #IfOnly[Klepto]HadBeenThere
trend, to which I made only a minor contribution:
The rest I just picked
out kind of at random:
Perhaps some time soon I
can begin to think cogently about other things.
