Apparently this is the ad for the John Lewis bill with Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry that is making wingnut heads explode all over the place, as noted here; this is good, but actually I think we need a lot more of stuff like this...
...and Pete Williams on MSNBC reports on the SCOTUS ruling in favor of Catholic Social Services in Philly that decided to not let a same-sex couple adopt a child (Williams says there is a “limiting principle” in this decision to not create broad new precedent, which apparently explains the 9-0 majority...Williams also says this is similar to the Colorado baker who wouldn’t make a gay wedding cake, or something...as far as I’m concerned, it says more than a little bit about CSS that they thought it was a better use of donation money to pay for lawyers to appeal something like this to the SCOTUS than to, y’know, actually do what their supposed to as an organization, which is to provide aid and comfort to the elderly, poor, sick, indigent, minority outreach, transport to medical facilities, etc...and that’s the main reason why they’d better not ever consider hitting me up for a donation again, because they’ll get exactly nothing)...
...and as long as we’re dealing with faith matters, I should also note that that allegedly august group, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, is debating whether to withhold communion from President Biden (a Catholic) for supporting abortion and LGBTQ rights; as dear as my faith is to me, the people in charge of it keep doing their best to try and push me away from it (if they start denying Communion to every pro-choice Catholic – well, I’m not trying to be flip, but let me just say that they’re going to have a hell of a lot of extra wafers)...
Update: I report, you decide (here).
...and John and Jordan Uhl of “The Damage Report” tell us that that wackadoodle (which one, I know) Lauren Boebert in the U.S. House sent our a particularly stoo-pid tweet on COVID (interesting that, according to Uhl, she’s vulnerable on anti-union stuff despite her gun-humping bona fides)...
...and on the subject of our ongoing plague, this CBS News report tells us about trying to get people in the South to get the COVID vaccine, with the Delta variant in the picture (just can’t think of a word for the stupidity of people who either don’t get the second shot or fail to get either one – maybe these people need to see more footage of what happened in India, though I’m still not sure that would get the message through)...
...and I thought this was another good video from Robert Reich, telling us “the truth about immigration”...
...and I now give you the latest installment of “This Day In Doomsy History” (more or less) from 6/20/16, in which we learn about the killing of British MP Jo Cox, who opposed Brexit (presciently, as it turned out, as far as I’m concerned – more here and here)...
...and we recently observed the 50th anniversary of the release of “Blue” by Joni Mitchell; here is a memorable tune from that recording (more here).
