  3. I am not watching or listening. It is too offensive. As listener just said, it's Martin Luther King Day. Let's remember him and what he stood for. -- nordy

  4. Biden commutes sentence for Indigenous activist Leonard Peltier, convicted in killing of FBI agents
    AP: Just moments before leaving office, President Joe Biden commuted the life sentence of Indigenous activist Leonard Peltier, who was convicted in the 1975 killings of two FBI agents.
    Biden’s action Monday followed decades of lobbying and protests on Peltier’s behalf by Native American leaders, human rights activists, liberal lawmakers and celebrities who maintain he was wrongfully convicted. Amnesty International has long considered Peltier a political prisoner. -- nordy

    1. He also pardoned the whole January 6th Committee and their staff, and General Milley, I am relieved to see.
      YAHOO: Former Rep. Liz Cheney and Rep. Bennie Thompson, who were both on the House committee investigating the attack on Jan. 6, release a statement following pardons from Joe Biden in the last hours of his presidency. “We have been pardoned not for breaking the law but for upholding it,” the statement says.

    2. Sure doesn't seem to be natural; the question in my mind is what it might be for. Attracting space aliens doesn't seem reasonable. A positioning beacon, perhaps? In that case there ought to be at least one other, with a different signal, frequency, or polarity.

  6. Temperature here reportedly down to 32F this morning, thick fog just cleared a little after noon. If the spirit moves us, we may do a bit of pruning this afternoon.

  10. I am so intensely revulsed by DT that I cannot bear to watch or listen to any news outlet. I can read something here and there, but only from a trusted source like Heather Cox Richardson. I will rely on her and VT Digger and VTPublic to give me writeups of what I need to know. I hope some of you braver souls will share vital information I might otherwise miss. A trans friend let me know that DT uttered a decree that there are only two genders. What a flaming fool is the rotten orange.
