It’s a tired day here in the CatBox. I did not sleep well last night. I texted with Nameless at suppertime and early this morning. He is feeling much better and is off the BIPAP machine. He hopes to be released on Sunday, and their current best guess is that he has atypical pneumonia. Please keep him in your thoughts, best wishes and prayers. Tomorrow please expect no more than a brief Personal Update from me. It’s a WWWendy day, and we have a notary service coming to finalize my will. TGIF!!

From Crooks and Liars: Turnbull said the media giant had delayed global action to address climate change by turning scientific fact into an issue of “values or identity” and countries were “paying the price”.
Source: The Guardian
Malcolm Turnbull says News Corp has become an organisation for “pure propaganda” that has done enormous damage through its promotion of climate change denial.
In a heated exchange on Monday night’s Q+A, the former prime minister and the Australian’s editor-at-large, Paul Kelly, clashed over the media organisation’s treatment of climate science.
Turn about is Fair play. We’ll take Lona, and Oztralia can have Murdoch back! RESIST!!
From The New Yorker: President-elect Joe Biden could obtain all the classified intelligence he needs simply by hanging out in the public dining room at Mar-a-Lago, members of the international espionage community recommend.
“Biden shouldn’t worry about getting official intelligence briefings,” a foreign spy, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said. “He should just reserve a table at Mar-a-Lago, and he’ll hear everything he needs.”The spy offered his own methods for obtaining classified intelligence as a possible roadmap for the President-elect. “Get a table near Trump, order an omelette, and turn on your recorder,” he said.
Dang Andy! This isn’t satire. It’s true! RESIST!!
From YouTube (Late Show Channel): Michael Moore: Joe Biden’s Presidency Will Be The Polar Opposite Of The Last Four Years
Michael Moore is representative of the most progressive segment of the left. For him to recognize how much closer a centrist like Biden is to us than he is to Trump* sets an example we should all follow instead of whining that Biden isn’t progressive enough. RESIST!!
From YouTube (a blast at the Reich): When The President Talks To God
This is certainly appropriate for Crawford Caligula, Fuhrer of the Fourth Reich, for whom it was written. How much more does it apply to the Fuhrer of the Fifth Reich, Trump*? Neither of them talk to God. They talk to Republican Supply-side Jesus, the polar opposite of the real Jesus. RESIST!!
