Dona Nobis Pacem (“grant us peace”) #songsofcomfort
—
This video was originally released on April 7, 2020, as part of Yo-Yo Ma’s #SongsOfComfort project, which was launched at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic to provide comfort in a time of anxiety and fear. The project inspired thousands of people around the world to upload their own songs of comfort in the months that followed.

Not Every Human Interaction Has to Be a Deal.
Well, that’s not into what American society has evolved.
Life in America today: you are a brand. You are to sell your brand, and protect your brand.
Youtube, Tik Tok, Facebook, Twitter… whatever social media outlet can be used is to be used for your brand.
Every interaction in your life is a transaction. All your possessions are for transactions - your cat, your dog, your face…
Your associates and relatives are assets to be used in your brand promotion.
You are what your bank account and Bitcoin numbers say you are.
Either you are going up on the Forbes list, or you are going down.
Your value to others is your transaction ability. All deals are good, some are just better than others.
Your follower list is your method by which to evaluate your place on this planet.
Your credit score is important but it is also manipulatable.
Your looks matter. Beauty may be subjective, but you can always package your looks to benefit yourself in transactions.
But above all, remember that it’s not truth that matters, but your ability to sell yourself.
Well I fucked up. I waited too long before calling the Chinese takeout place with our Traditional Nittelnacht (Christmas Eve) order and it would not be ready until 9:00 which is WAY TOO LATE.
But I have chicken, I have bean sprouts, I have frozen eggroll & veggies so I can do what I did for years before the takeout place opened up, I CAN MAKE MY OWN ASIAN STYLE FOOD!!

Right, I figured that it would be busier than normal. I didn’t think it would be “multiple hour wait” busy. Mrs. Fish and I did Chinese takeout earlier this week; tonight, it’s to be junk food, video games, and maybe a Christmas movie after I get home from church.

Our congregation (conservative) has schnaps and hard liquor to celebrate end of services to go along with the wine (Manaschevitz, of course).
Weird people think Jews don’t drink when it is an integral part of Jewish life - cup of wine for Shabbat services, 4 cups during Seder, etc.

I love pizza for breakfasts. When I was a kid (2nd/3rd grade), my dad was working on his master’s degree at the state college in the next town over. The same school where my mom, dad, older brother and I all got our undergrad degrees. In the town, there is a pizza shop called Bob’s Pizza, where my parent had pizza for the first time when they were in college. On his way home from classes, my dad would always stop by Bob’s to bring us some pizza. I always looked forward to a piece of pizza for breakfast the next day. Every time I’m back east visiting my parents, I make sure to get some Bob’s pizza.
It’s 12:45 in MN and I’m still trying to get up the ambition to go shovel snow. There’s only about 3-4” with some deeper drifts here and there, but I’m not in a hurry to face the cold. It’s +8 right now and probably won’t get any warmer so I should do it soon.

In college I was a “social affiliate” with a fraternity that was about half Jewish kids and half non-Jewish (I think what bound them was The Grateful Dead and drugs). Once a year they would have a “Jews vs Gentiles” keg challenge. Two mini-kegs, one per side. The point was first to get shitfaced and second to win. Not sure what was at stake besides pride.

This has been one crazy day for me. First I have to get to work by 7:30 am so that I can get out before noon. When I got home today I got my package from amazon. I was hoping that the fluorescent tube would not be broken. I was wrong. It rattled worse than the one that came to me earlier. I was so pissed that I told an amazon person that I was going to return it via the USPS no matter what they said. I got a refund for the latest broken tube and now I hope to calm down while watching Downton Abbey.

Yep, and by the end folks drifted off to rooms for more individualized partying. I liked hanging out there though. Most of the other frats were sort of one thing or another: KA was the southern conservative frat, AEPi was of course mostly Jewish kids, Sigma Chi totally WASPy. But the Delts were a great mix (though they got shut down a couple of years after I graduated for drug dealing, I guess).

For WWII history buffs, there is a Youtube series called “WWII in realtime” hosted by Indy Nidell. Once a week he posts a 15 minute or so video about what was happening that week 79 years ago as though its happening now, and its very engaging. The week of December 7, he posted ten 30 minute videos to follow Pearl Harbor minute by minute, along with a lot of background, and it was five hours of terrific tv. I highly recommend it, if you like this kind of stuff.

Sources say Trump in recent days has brought the matter up to the vice president and has been “confused” as to why Pence can’t overturn the results of the election on January 6.
Pence and White House aides have tried to explain to him that his role is more of a formality and he cannot unilaterally reject the Electoral College votes.

Watching the GOES satellite loop, looked at the Upper Mississippi valley, and I see the shadow line whipping across those states, but… the shadow is ahead of the official sunset times (as found on the NWS websites, etc.)
Made me think what was going on.
I think I’ve decided is that what I am interpreting as the shadow line is just the beginning of the transition. The sun covers about a half a degree (from our distance from the sun), and it will sit partially on the horizon for several minutes, but not long enough to make up the 15-20 minutes that the visual on the satellite loop appears to be ahead of the official sunset times.
So I think the thickening of the path through the atmosphere, combined with the fact that there are many tropospheric clouds around the continent this evening, that I’m just seeing shadows of clouds really really stretched out.

Trump treats pardons as a transaction: what does he personally gain from them.
Does he gain loyalty?
Does he gain a vote?
Does he gain silence?
Does he cover up other crimes Trump committed?
That’s how he treats every last one of his pardons.
Make no mistake, but he’s shredded the rule of law to do this. He’s violated all the norms and standards when it comes to pardons. In fact, nearly all of his pardons have been done outside the normal channel of the Office of Pardon Attorney. Trump’s issued pardons to people like Arpaio despite not meeting the standards of the OPA.
It’s all because Trump doesn’t care about the law or how things are done. He just done it.

Thanks for some humor!
OK, my coworker invited me to tune in to her church’s Christmas Eve service. I liked singing the carols. My cat liked it too, she likes to hear me sing and she was purring her head off while I sang. That made me happy.
Then there was a video where the church promoted what it had done this year and I was all, yeah, yeah, this is good, giving food bags out, etc., but then it slipped to thanking God for people who had been “sexually redeemed”. I was all, “wait what?” and tried to scroll back the program but was unable to do so. Then I asked my coworker and she said: “oh my, did I miss that? WTH”. Then the pastor started in on the 10 lies we tell each other (e.g., “the check is in the mail”) and ended up with that old Ronald Reagan chestnut “I’m from the government and I’m here to help.” At that point I told my coworker I had to shut it down because that Reagan quote was a lie, but “the singing was nice anyway.”
I mean, YEAH, I should have expected this from a Vineyard church, but hell, I thought it was going to be just carols or lessons and carols and not *that*. Yikes. Oh yeah, this is a megachurch and it had less than 200 salvations and 200 baptisms last year. I suspect the number is *way* down over previous years.
Knowing their luck this year, the FL GOP would go through with such an idea…only for most (if not all) of the people whose pictures they put up either:
1. Still dealing weeks/months later with various complications from their infection
2. Buried under debt from the medical cost of fighting off such an infection
3. Largely falling into the “asymptomatic” camp and thus hard to portray as “survivors”

Karl Marx is an example of somebody who’s done an amazing job, and is being recognized more and more for his advocacy for Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996. https://t.co/W9RwJ5zNZv

It would be fitting and uber satisfying if a women dragged him out kicking and screaming. There has to be a female Secret Service agent who could be assigned the task.

Trumpers are getting increasingly scarce on my Facebook timeline. I don’t think many of them have unfriended me. But their posting frequency is way way down.
Nearly all of them are fundamentalist Christians.
I really don’t know what to make of it. Maybe they are spending their time at Parler?

Last night I dreamed I was a kid again and I got up for breakfast and had a bowl of Post Corn Flakes with freeze dried blueberries and I just got REAL HUNGRY for them!
Memories of the 60s when Post sold Corn Flakes with freeze dried blueberries or strawberries or peaches. Kelloggs sold Corn Flakes with freeze dried bananas…
Ladies and gentlemen, I give you The Wall Street Journal opinion section.
In Defense of Scrooge, Whose Thrift Blessed the World
So on Christmas, as we celebrate the promise of human redemption and join in repeating Ebenezer Scrooge’s famous pledge, “I will honor Christmas in my heart and try to keep it all the year,” let us also remember the contributions that Scrooge and Marley and the wealth accumulators of our own age have made as “the founders of our feast.”
Neil Peart is one of the most influential drummers of all time, no doubt, but I’ve personally found it hard to get into Geddy Lee’s vocals. https://t.co/a2Xals7hHD

When Limbaugh dies I guarantee his obits will be filled with words like “divisive” and “controversial” and “firebrand.” But you won’t see “racist” or “fabulist.”
“His rhetoric could at times be controversial, even divisive. But what was misunderstood as racist and sexist, he was in fact just a playful provocateur with an humble midwest upbringing.”

I don’t have Trumpers on my timeline. I purged all Tea Partiers and Tea Party adjacent acquaintances ten years ago.
The most Trumpy friends of friends I blocked 3 to 4 years ago.
The Trumpers I see these days are three old butthurt frat brothers of a lawyer friend who pop up on his threads to troll for attention as our discussions tend to irritate the membership of the [School Redacted] Alumni Fascist Appreciation Society and Appalachian Auxiliary.
