It’s a rested day here in the CatBox, and after extreme Republication, I finally have my butt butt functioning properly. What a relief! Oh God, it’s Monday!

Today’s took me 5:34 (average 5:31). To do it, click here. How did you do?

Short Take:
From YouTube (a blast from the past): Bob Dylan – Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door (Audio)
As I type, it is only about 10:30 am in Portland – which would have been more than enough time for TC to have posted normally, but quite possibly not enough time for a computer tech to have arrived, or, having arrived, to have finished. I’m going to put up the video thread early and wait before putting up a placeholder.
I know I’ve been kind of pushing Glenn Kirschner, and his videos run longish (this one is 9 minutes), but he is so articulate and really knows the Constitution, I find every second I spend with him is educational and profitable. The Fourth Amendment, people.

John Fugelsang is really on a roll! “The Matt Gaetz Prison Podcast”
Parody Project (and TFT) respond to YouTube taking down their video not too long ago. Brilliant. Also, a link to a new location!
Beau – President Biden is nominating many extremely qualified people, including some whose credentials are not exactly expected (spoiler: and probably better than the usual.) This pick is a case in point.
Now This News – Aaaaaaw! Watch these firefighters carefully free a poor squirrel who got its head stuck in the knothole of a tree. Once freed, the little guy scampers off like nothing happened 🐿
John Fugelsang – “Tucker Carlson’s Baffled Bitch Face” – CC in Portuguese – too good not to share – had to delay a day to get a full transcript.
Hello, I’m Tucker Carlson, titan of journalism, beloved by millions, and chances are your grandma already likes me more than she likes you. Got a question. Has this ever happened to you? You’re at your job and you’re debating some virtue signaling human rights activist on your highly rated prime time cable news show, and your very well intentioned snowflake guest is talking about marginalized peoples (that’s their way of calling you racist.) So you counter back by saying that shifting demographics is causing economic anxiety among traditional Americans, which is your way of saying, fuck you who cares if I am. What if I told you there was a way to shut your opponent’s entire narrative down without presenting any counter argument or even any facts. Well, I’m proud to present a brand new online workshop where you can learn my patented, trademarked secrets of Tucker Carlson’s Baffled Bitch Face. That slack-jawed, lipless, mouth agape look of constipated befuddlement that I have mastered, which has made me the hero to millions of guys around the world, who’d like to own the libs, but don’t have time to learn shit. In my new online workshop. I will teach you how to pull focus away from whoever’s speaking by using my trademark, lipless concern troll stare. It looks like a simple doughy grimace, but what you’re really doing is conveying to your entire audience. I don’t know what you’re talking about! I’m trying to understand you, but I don’t like the things you’re saying! I don’t want to understand you! I’m going to make this face until the elderly demo hate you (Inarticulate howls) “Let Dancing With The Stars veteran Tucker Carlson show you how to relax your chin into your neck and find your douche in the headlights gaze!” I think I think I think you’ll find in the early days. It helps to verbalize when you’re practicing the face. Go ahead and make the sounds that match the look (inarticulate wails) “All new exercises!” Wait a second – taxing people who can afford to pay a lot more. A little more can help offset the deficit? [Boinggg] Wait a minute – I should treat trans people like they’re people? [Drumbeat] Once you’ve mastered my dismayed, crypto fascist, misogynist scowl, your enemies will run away faster than my own advertisers! [party horn] Tucker Carlson’s Baffled Bitch Face – Release your smug!
Beau follows up on yesterday’s predictions with amplification and advice.
Meidas Touch – Rep. Grace Meng takes longer than Rep Lieu to excoriate ex-Guv Huckabee – and it”s golden
Robert Reich – How Corporations Crush the Working Class
New! Randy! Rainbow!
Dedicated to Karen (with so many memes I recommend going through twice – once forthe lyrics and once for the memes, maybe the second time slowed down with the sound off.)
Beau talked about “tomorrow” yesterday – so this concerns today – and is now already over – for today.
