Morning Coffee Roundup - March 1

Two shout-outs to two incredible bloggers whose posts this morning are both incredibly insightful and inspirational.

 

  • Infidel753 superbly laid out all everything essential to know about the attack on Iran.

 
I don't know about you folks, but seeing that blathering toddler in his white USA hat sitting in his Mar-a-Lago ballroom / command post just sent chills down my spine.  Watching the related news stories did nothing to instill any sense of... appropriateness... to the actions taken.  Infidel offered an excellent summary of the offenses taken, who were the targets, who are our allies, who took the initiatives.  Our politics will hopefully sort themselves out, but I am feeling... less stressed... about this matter.  
 

 
Posts will be bi-monthly; today's entry was a great post about Margaret W. Rossiter (1944-2025) Her books inspired programs and policies which ensure that today’s women in STEM are properly credited, published, and remembered.
 
Both great reads over a cup of coffee!!
 
Onward,
Rade 

Sunday Morning Sip

First Sunday, first day of the new month... that means: 

I yearn for the day when this meme 
is no longer relevant. 
 
 
...or just look in the yard... 

Pretty much. 





Ah-yup. 

I'd like to add 
...if humanity were capable of critical thinking 
and not just blind trust.  

 

23 more inches of snow to melt before the shorts come out! 

...not soon enough... 
 

 
 
And make them for ambulance chaser law firms! 

 
When you are the "Chief, Cook and Bottle-washer"
in the house, one pot meals become essential 
to maintaining sanity. 

My absolute hero. 
 
 
Let's visit another childhood classic.

Saturday Morning Sip

Wow... this was a long short month... felt like it's been YEARS.  Last day of February. 

Yup.  That's me. 
Coffee.  Black. Please.
 
 
I stand with Ukraine.

Applies to MAGA and the GOP, as well. 

TAKE ME WITH YOU! 




And be fabulous about it! 
 

 
 
Yup.  Don't give a rats ass how the GOP feels right now. 


Must have toy for 2026! 


And get the fuck out of my face. 


 And please stop forwarding me Facebook crap.
 
 Into March we go.

Memories of my childhood. 
 
 
Let's round out Black History Month
with the legendary Nina Simone.
 
"Mississippi Goddamn."
