The Friday Link for 11/22/24

Hi all! Travel safe if you are heading out in the next week and have a nice Thanksgiving.

Right now, we are all watching as Trump appoints unqualified cabinet nominee after unqualified cabinet nominee. It's downright embarrassing; some of the people he is putting forward. An anti-vax kook to head the Department of Health and Human Services, a Russian agent to run out Intelligence agencies, and TV host after TV host with no government experience to run various government programs.

A friend who I suspect of being a Trump voter asked me "What's the big deal?  It's not like they could screw up too much."

You have no idea.

I'm not sure if I shared this video before, but I'm bringing it back regardless.  Meet Trofim Lysenko, a grossly unqualified zealot who believed in fantasy over reality. Stalin put him into power over genetics and agriculture.  Everything he theorized was wrong, but he was convinced he was right, even though decades of evidence showed he wasn't.

The end result:  Up to 70 Million dead. Seriously 70 MILLION PEOPLE DIED using this fool's theories.

Yes, the people Trump is putting into power can cause a great deal of damage, although I pray it's not as bad as what happened in the former Soviet Union and China. The suffering we're all about to go through will teach us why MAGA voters are fools, and everyone else needs to vote EVERY election. 
 

Well, THAT was depressing.

To cheer you up let me post what could be the greatest Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode for Minnesotans.  Enjoy the Finland masterpiece The Day The Earth Froze, with so many Minnesota references it will put you in flannel! 


Keep a stiff upper lip, stay together, and we'll get through all of this together! 

And please stay up to date on your vaccinations.
