As readers here know, from the videos I post about the otters Kotora and Hana (I haven’t had one in a while, so I’ll get back it soon…), I love otters. So, here’s the tale of another one that’s a joy. It starts out in a surprising way, but then jumps back to tell how this relationship between a wild otter and a guy in his kayak came about. It’s eight minutes, and lovely. But then, if this freeze frame doesn't get you to watch, nothing will...

There was a video yesterday of a panel that Trump was on, and as Mehmet Oz (who currently is serving as Trump's administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) is speaking, Trump -- sitting next to him -- is struggling to keep his eyes open. In another video from yesterday, he was introducing the co-sponsor of a bill and asking where the guy was, looking out into the audience -- the congressman had been standing behind Trump the whole time. It's just the latest examples, even if small, of how Trump is clearly fading, and having cognitive issues (the polite term). But his word salad, off-topic ramblings, paraphasia and more keep fading more and more. It all brought to mind a short comment about technology that Trump made a couple months back on how amazingly skilled his young son Barron was with computers. His statement was so head-shaking, "Wait, what???!!," that it wasn't a case of “Imagine if President Biden had said something this creepily inept,” but rather…imagine if anyone over the age of three said something so creepily inept.? And most of the media just normalizes him as Trump being Trump. Yes, it is Trump being Trump. But the point is that Trump being Trump is someone who is a malignant narcissist and is in the process of major cognitive decline -- from normal old age, senility and (as many expert psychologist have written for years) shows signs of dementia, which is degenerative. If you didn't see Jon Stewart's Monday hosting of The Daily Show, his Main Story was about Trump's Really Bad Terrible Awful Trip to Scotland. That's pretty much all that's needed here -- the show is very funny. I'll just add that they do a "correspondent" piece later in the report -- and it's really wonderful, and makes the very funny show even funnier. Made all the better because it brings back a former correspondent, who is absolutely non-stop vibrant. (No, it's not Stephen Colbert or Steve Carell.) It turns out that SOUTH PARK is not backing down. Here's their trailer for the upcoming episode. [Side Note: I missed one subtle thing, but in reading an article it explains that the hairstyle here for 'Eric Cartman' -- the character seated at a podium slamming a kid for hating America and supporting abortion -- was changed from his usual to a parody copy of far-right's petulant Charlie Kirk.] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0oJ23b_wEs A couple of weeks ago, Rep. Kim Schrier, who represents Washington state's 8th District, was questioning the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert Kennedy Jr. at a House committee hearing It did not go well for him. To be clear, Rep. Schrier had an unfair advantage -- in addition to being a Member of the U.S. Congress, she is also a licensed pediatrician. I meant to post this at the time it too place, but other news kept getting in the way. Other news is still getting in the way, but sometimes you have to pause and let other notable news have its say. This is how it's done. |
