"Don't talk of dust and roses
Or should we powder our noses?
Don't live for last year's capers
Give me steel, give me steel, give me pulsars unreal
He'll build a glass asylum
With just a hint of mayhem
He'll build a better whirlpool
We'll be living from sin
Then we can really begin
Please saviour, saviour, show us
Hear me, I'm graphically yours
Someone to claim us, someone to follow
Someone to shame us, some brave Apollo
Someone to fool us, someone like you
We want you, Big Brother, Big Brother
I know you think you're awful square
But you made everyone and you've been everywhere
Lord, I'd take an overdose if you knew what's going down
Someone to claim us, someone to follow
Someone to shame us, some brave Apollo
Someone to fool us, someone like you
Someone to claim us, someone to follow
Someone to shame us, some brave Apollo
Someone to fool, someone like you
Someone to claim us, someone to follow
Someone to shame us, some brave Apollo
Someone to fool, someone like you
We want you, Big Brother"

Supreme Court Refuses to Allow #Trump to Deploy #NationalGuard in #Chicago

"The Supreme Court on Tuesday refused to allow President Trump to deploy hundreds of National Guard troops in the Chicago area over the objection of Illinois officials, casting doubt on the viability of similar deployments in other American cities.
"The justices’ order is preliminary, but it blocks the Trump administration for now from ordering the state-based military force to the Chicago area, where an immigration crackdown led to thousands of arrests and confrontations between residents and federal agents.
"In its temporary ruling against the administration, the court refused to grant the president broad discretion to deploy the military in U.S. cities. It represented a rare departure from recent cases, in which the conservative majority has overwhelmingly sided with Mr. Trump in preliminary tests of presidential power.
"At this stage in the litigation, the court said the Trump administration had not shown that the statute at issue 'permits the president to federalize the Guard in the exercise of inherent authority to protect federal personnel and property in Illinois.'
"Three conservative justices — Clarence Thomas, Samuel A. Alito Jr. and Neil M. Gorsuch — noted their dissents."

So, I'm thinking a small amount of coconut oil in the hand-salve recipe would be cat-safe. Issues come from folks feeding their cats coconut oil without checking with their vets or trying a small amount to start with...

Is Coconut Oil Safe for Cats?
Coconut oil is touted as a miracle food. Can coconut oil improve your cat's health? Is coconut oil even safe for cats?
Boy, the creeps are crawling out of the woodwork (must have nothing better to do during a holiday week). Please report and block @npub1kfx0...0rur ! Let's keep #Mastodon safe for EVERYONE! Terfs and disrespectful white men can sod off!

Went to the last instance of Gothic Maine's #Plague night this weekend (the proceeds of which went to the #Unhoused in #Maine). I first DJ'ed with them 20 years ago, and had some very cool nights I organized with them... Including #WickerMan and #NineteenEightyFour nights! The end of an era!

The #DoomsdayGlacier Is Getting Closer and Closer to Irreversible Collapse
An analysis of the expansion of cracks in the #ThwaitesGlacier over the past 20 years suggests that a total collapse could be only a matter of time.
by Ritsuko Kawai, Dec 22, 2025 9:43 AM
Excerpt: "Known as the '#Doomsday Glacier,' the Thwaites Glacier in #Antarctica is one of the most rapidly changing glaciers on Earth, and its future evolution is one of the biggest unknowns when it comes to predicting global sea level rise.
"The eastern ice shelf of the Thwaites Glacier is supported at its northern end by a ridge of the ocean floor. However, over the past two decades, cracks in the upper reaches of the glacier have increased rapidly, weakening its structural stability. A new study by the International Thwaites Glacier Collaboration (ITGC) presents a detailed record of this gradual collapse process.
"Researchers at the Centre for Earth Observation and Science at the University of Manitoba, Canada, analyzed observational data from 2002 to 2022 to track the formation and propagation of cracks in the ice shelf shear zone. They discovered that as the cracks grew, the connection between the ice shelf and the mid-ocean ridge weakened, accelerating the upstream flow of ice."
