Good Saturday!

Given the conviction and sentencing process going on re Tarrio (party Shane Lamond was in touch with) seems like it is time to RE-UP this comment thread.

@susanl_author As promise, some farmer's market special broth and soup, both primarily re-dos of recipes from a great cookbook by U.S. author Barbara Kafa called "SOUP - A Way of Life."

1. Preliminary: This is for when you have a little extra time and budget and access to fresh chicken bones and odds and ends and FRESH produce.

It requires one "trimmed and washed leek" which is a bit "extra, but maybe you can buy a bunch and use rest in a stir fry"?

Report on Summer Cabbage:

I have always found cabbage a bit "much" particularly when boiled. But just made a quick stir fry that was cabbage perfection. A slight crunch and some sweeness with just a slight "brassica" undertone.

1. Had a big bad cabbage to make a large pot of minestrone to freeze (and use up a bunch of tomatoes). I took a 1/4 head, chopped as for coleslaw, and plunged into saltedice water for 15 minute.

Then dry but keep damp.

Aargh. Another day, another "Trending" David Brooks. WHEN will this annoyance ever ride off into the sunset?

Oh well, guess it is time for "The Best of Moe Murph's 'David Brooks Is My Minor Nemesis' Tweets."

1. I sometimes find Ms. JCO rather quick on the Blocking Hand Trigger, but for today: "You Go, Authoress of Enormous Output"!

Just a note. I am blessed to have pension/savings and while I work to supplement them, have leeway to be discerning.

I believe a GIANT corp. who would throw this into a "minion" contractor's employment agreement is a BAD ACTOR.

1/2 2/2 What is IMPLIED here to me is that a behemoth who financially COULD take on role of doing their best to MITIGATE danger of an airborne virus in their workplace has chosen to offload risk to workers who in many cases face work in viral soup or not pay their bills. VILE.

Nice post from Joyce Vance featuring newly terse tone of prosecutors when it comes to Drumphus/speedy trial. A Thread. 2.
“It is difficult to imagine a public interest stronger than the one in this case, in which the defendant—the former President of the United States—is clearly a matter of public importance, which merits in favor of a prompt resolution.”

@colehaddon Hello Cole Haddon, it is Maureen Murphy ("Moe"). Thank you so much for participating in the new "Strikegeist" piece on conditions now for writers. I was tremendously moved by it!

1. I first got to know you back in the ancient (to the younglings) era "MySpace" days when I got to know you through your writing on film. I know of of your great love for film, writing, and writers.

"The pliable" prosper, while many who took stand (climate scientists, counterintelligence specialists, diplomats) lose careers and even security clearances useful in private sector.

And people wonder why so many either kept quiet or became craven cheerleaders. "Strzok"

Hostility to Civil Service - A thread of my past tweetage.

The overweening goal of "dismantling" structure of civil service was firmly in place well before Trump came on the scene. DECEMBER 2016:

Felt like a quick revisit to one of my older Twitter characters, Baron Von Fish Head. Boulevardier, resident of Fictional 1920's Paris, cynic, secret romantic, ex WWI fighter pilot.

He also happens to be half trout/half chicken.

Had cool experience recently of sending a story of mine out into the world where it made friends (totally independent of me, its distracted, job hunting "Mom."

1. I have usually shared my writing with people I know well. It was fascinating to see an "outside" reaction. The story itself enters into a convo with the world, joining a long line of other stories people have shared, as I watch from home with a nice cup of Earl Grey tea!

There is no question in my mind that these people did not START OUT as living vectors of infection and potential incubatores of new Covid mutations (due to multiple strains in lungs, but a combination of factors has resulted in this reality.

1st 2. "Setting the stage". Thinking back to winter 2020, I think what we are urged to "live with" now would have horrified these same people. It took a lot more to harden opinion.

@glennsumi Am feeling overwhelmed with opinions today and may retreat to Medium to become a Grumpy Opinion Lady.

This UFO's/balloons are starting to remind me of the "Egregore of Clowns" ... a bunch of scary clown sightings in the USA shortly before the 2016 Presidential election. The sightings spawned one of the greatest Twitter discussion threads of all time.

@LaSeletzky Hi! I just cut a story down under 500 words about Kakfa joining LinkedIn so thought I would pass along! I found it cathartic!

I just joined Reddit (for some special interest discussions related to a job hunt) and I commented on an "Aristotle Study Group" and got PERMANENTLY BANNED my first day.

reddit.com/r/AristotleStu… Ah well, guess my comment was a tad "off assignment"

Tough crowd.
