“There’s nothing wrong with saying, you know, that you’ve recalculated.”
.
The President of the United States of America called up a secretary of state and tried to pressure him into just.. you know.. saying he got more votes than what THREE seperate counts of the state had shown him to get. What’s going on in America is fucking nuts. It’s deplorable and immoral and insane. I can’t fucking believe this is real life.
Meanwhile there was another mass shooting again, but I don’t know if the shooters were white or brown so I don’t know if it’s terrorism or an audition for a MyPillow sponsorship.
Fuck you if you’re supporting Donald Trump. He’s a piece of shit and you need to start finding a way to live what you preach.
At least I made it 4 days into 2021 before I had to vent about politics.

Hearing Kevin Smith talk about Ted Lasso makes me want to rewatch season 1 again. Seriously, if I could tell you to watch one new show from 2020 it would be Ted Lasso. Whenever I hear people talk about it, it’s always in glowing words. Even people like me who expected to not like it. Even people who hate soccer. It’s not a show about soccer. It’s a beautiful, charming and uplifting show. And I challenge anyone who disagrees to a pillow fight!

I do not make smart choices. And I’m pretty sure this tin foil hat is no longer protecting me from the sound waves from my upstairs neighbours.

You know, sometimes people ask me why I care so much about what goes on in America.
Apart from the whole ‘having a heart and caring about about more than your immediate next-door neighbours*, there is also the fact that American politics and news influences Denmark. When America withdraws from climate agreements, you know Denmark is in the climate too. And people here read and watch American news. A prominent Danish politician recently used the ‘drain the swamp’ slogan. And all the rhetoric about not letting the government oppress you by making you wear masks and shutting down stores and social distancing and all that… that stuff reaches Denmark too. There’s a seizeable group of people who listen to that stuff. And believe it. And maybe that’s why things are getting worrisome in Denmark now. Our hospitals are under pressure. People are dying. We just escalated to level 5, the highest level of.. levelness. New restrictions. Although most of them are still ‘recommendations’, not legal obligations. But it might be watershed moment. We’ll start to see the nnumbers for the holiday infections soon. We have cases of the new UK variant that is more contagious. And still we have people demonstrating because they can’t get a haircut and they don’t want to wear masks.
Not that I’m blaming all that on America. But we got this social media bubble as well. People who think that everything they hear on mainstream media is a lie, and everything they read on the internet (a lot of which originates in the American ecosystem) is truth.
The time when it took stuff 6 months to a year to get from America to Denmark is long gone. The media, social and otherwise, is here instantly. I wonder what’s going to happen in our next election? Are we going to get this forking insanity too? Where the losers just refuse to accept the results? I can’t imagine that happening in Denmark. But who forking knows anymore.
Anyway. Sorry. Had to get that all off my chest. I sincerely apologise if you read all that. Please accept this tin foil origami swan as a compensation.

Are we going to have months of lawsuits in Georgia now? Who can the repubs call to ‘find’ the votes they magically need?
“When Warnock and Ossoff are seated, Democrats and Republicans will each control half of the seats in the Senate.
But the Democratic half will represent 41,549,808 more people than the Republican half.”
.
It really is flabbergasting how completely broken the American democracy is. And flabbergasting that people who claim to be patriotic care so little about how one single man has completely tanked their country’s standing and esteem, in the parts of the world where we’re usually very pro-American.
You know what, I think the democrats should go on an pack the supreme court now. With the Garland/Barrett things it has been shown that there IS no morality or ethics or traditions or decorum or anything when it comes to scotus. You fudged the process so don’t blame the opposition for making brownies. Pack the shirt out of the courts. And then when the repubs get in power they can pack it. And then you can end up with a supreme court of thousands of justices and the weight of the ridiculous lifetime appointment system will collapse in on itself and go supernova and maybe you can catch up to the rest of the civilized world and get a working system. Get rid of lifetime scotusses, get rid of electoral college, get rid of presidential pardoning powers, get rid of insane gerrymandering.
I will take my consulting fee in peanuts and raisins thank you.

I hate to say this, I don’t take this lightly. But what would republicans say if a colored person showed up with an ak47 and started shooting rioters? Would you applaud that too? Would you give him a MyPillow sponsor deal? Would you call that law and order? Would you cheer him like you cheered Rittenhouse?

Typically American. You just can’t let Denmark have the headlines, you needed to come up with SOMETHING to outdo the tv show about the guy with the big dick. Don’t tell me you’re just starting your civil war today by chance.

Hah, saw a story saying that Pence backstabbed Trump. I love how quick Trumpers are to turn their back on anyone who doesn’t tell them what they want to hear or do what they want done. The minute Fox News projects Biden winning, they are fake news. The minute (much too late) that Pence and McConnell accepted Biden’s win they were traitors.
I wonder if by their logic that means Biden could have just declared Clinton the winner in 2016. Elections sure would be less complicated if the sitting VP just got to pick whomstever they wanted as the winner.

Funny, now there are people saying it’s not really Trump supporters doing this. It’s fascinating how such a large group has been trained to think that if the news are coming from CNN or MSNBC then it’s automatically lies, but if it’s a picture someone posted on Facebook then it’s definitely proof of ‘that thing I want to be true’.
At least this is a good chance to thin out the friendlist a bit. I’ve been thinking about downsizing my personal fb, why do I need to be friends with a bunch of people I never talk to anyway? I just don’t like unfriending people. Even people with difering political views. But I guess people I don’t talk to who support civil unrest.. I guess I shouldn’t feel guilty parting ways with those.

Good goat times today. I’m glad I made it out, despite the temptation to sit and refresh twitter every 30 seconds to see what fresh hell hath awoketh. Much better to be out in the real world, amongst my goat people.
It snow though. Yes, it snow. Not a huge amount. Not enough to freeze over the mud. So… just kinda cold and wet. And slippery. Not great. I think it will be gone very quickly again. But count this as a snow day with gaots. That’s one more than I had all last winter.
The goats were naturally not too amused wit with the cold, white, wet, slippery stuff. But at least they got tretas. And I got some lapgoat time with Milo, Sky and Nuller. Not at the same time, obviously. But still good. And I managed to go for a walk around the pen with the newbs. Even Sassy. I was surprised she followed me around in the snow. She usually just plain refuses anything wet and muddy. But maybe the snow tricked her. Or maybe she was really hungry for treats.
And I didn’t fall once. We’ll see how long that lasts.

It’s really tragic that people died during that coup attempt. A policeman. A former Air Force member. Three others. Died. For what? What did they think was going to happen? Did they think they were going to take over the American govenrment? Stop the American president from becoming president? It’s so senseless.
Remember when the Arizona GOP retweeted a guy saying he was willing to die to stop the steal and asked “are you?”. They literally encouraged people dying for Trump. Insane.
And imagine if Trump had won the election and blm had stormed the capitol stop it. Imagine what Fox News or NewsMax would have said to that? They would have taken that as a literal declaration of war on America. Literal. Nuts.
My favourite thing about the crackpot theory of antifa dressed up as Trump supporters being behind this is that it would mean Trump said “I feel your pain and I love you” to antifa.
Also gotta laugh at Trump saying his was the best first term ever. Jesus. Even if you believe he did great, how can you not laugh at that? The people who are actually the best don’t need to constantly proclaim themselves being the best. Holy inferiority complex, Batman. Doesn’t the bible teach humility?
Anyway. Hopefully things have calmed down so much that this is the only insane rant I’ll need to do today.

When the goats came to the fence yesterday, Lily was a little late. She didn’t want to go out in the snow. When she finally did come out, some visitors that were at the fence too said “oh here comes the baby”. It’s official. Nuller has grown so big that people think his mama is the baby and he’s the grownup. Lily is a little one.

Pretty rich calling for unity now. Sure, now that you’vr lost you want to come together and heal. They beat a cop to death with a fire extinguisher. Trump won’t even lower the White House flag for him.
How about, you get the Supreme justices appointed by Trump to resign and have their seats filled by Biden, then we can all come together and heal in unity and be best.
Thought not.
But really, you gotta impeach Trump. You gotta take him out of the running if you want unity. If he’s allowed to be a potential candidate for 2024 then we’ll have four years of Qanon and NewsMax talking about how he’s going to come and save America from communism.
Lindsey Graham was right. Picking Trump destroyed the party. Now you need to take him out of the equation and rebuild. Get him impeached and removed, even if it’s with one day left of his term. Get him out. I know a lot of good Republicans, I know you can do better than him. Better than nazis murdering cops in your capitol. According to what I read on twitter (which may or may not be true, I grant you that) the intruders came very close to getting at the congrass people. We’ve all seen the pictures of the guy with the zipe ties. They have been and may still be openly talking about murdering cops and government peopel on parler. This coup attempt was not nothing, it was close to a castastrophical blood bath. And in any case, it was a big deal. Seeing participants laughing on camera about it is so jarring. Lollol we stormed the capitol. Jesus. Literally, what would Jesus do?
There will never be peace and unity as long as you have Trump empowering the very worst people. Get him the fuck out.
On a side note, I got unfriended by someone with the message “You commie. Thanks for ruining my country by supporting Communism!”. Haha. I did not know I had the power in me to ruin America, but trust me I do not take this responsibility lightly! I’ll do my best to make America goat again.

I have to start sharing the post around to get more. I guess somewhere someone shared this post and it reached a bunch of people.

It looks like I may have passed the authorization test thing on Mia’s page. The banner saying I need to be authorized is gone. Looks like I will be able to keep using the page. That sure bwould be nice. I already created the group I would have used if I lost the page, but it just isn’t the same. Mia’s page has been a huge part of my life for the last 8 years. I would hate to lose that. But hopefully it’s all sorted now. Looks like it.

I am almost sad that I unfriended everyone I saw cheering on the violent coup attempt. Because I’d really rather like to see what they’re saying now. If they’re still cheering for it. A cop being dragged along the ground to rousing cheers of U S A U S A. Plans for a massacre. I wonder if they still think that is healthy democracy.

Had a bunch of great dreams last. I love how my dreams can both be super personal introspective emotional things. But also sometimes just werid Hollywood movies.
One of the dreams last night had me watching a TV show. But I was also acting in the TV show. But most importantly it was some kind of supernatural drama starring Lance Henriksen and Terry O’Quinn. And I would watch the heck out of that in real life.
I wonder if the Millennium group had an interesting in Lost Island…

“We’re now at a place if we do not open our economy we’re in real danger.”
Dead at 41 from covid, with no underlying condiitions. Leaving a widow and two little fatherless kids. The hundreds of thousands of dead are maybe easier to see as acceptable losses when they’re thought of as old and sick. But you know, the old and sick have families too.
I wonder if Letlow’s account will keep on tweeting about the corona virus like Herman Cain’s account still does.
Does the stimulus plan include helicopter rides to Walter Reed Hospital?
I’ll shut up now. We’ve almost made it to 2021, the year when everything will miracously be okay again. My new year’s resolution will be to try and prevent my head fro splitting in two from the giant smile I’ll be wearing 24/7 hooray who wants to eat

Well, it’s been a year. It certainly has.
What a weird year. It’s the only year I can think of that has been vastly different from all others, on a global scale.
Let’s hope the vaccine will work and we can start getting back towards /normal/?
Not the best of years, obviously. Denmark has managed the pandemic fairly well (so far anyway). But we’ve still had lockdowns and disruption of normalcy.
For me the dominating issue of 2020 was my parents’ health. Other than the pandemic that is going to be the thing I remember the year for most. A lot of fear and worry and helpnessless. Helplessness. Like the pandemic I hope this will also get better in 2021. One can hope.
I had my own little thing in the summer. That one morning I woke up and could barely move from the pain. My tongue like a block of wood in my mouth, completely dry and chewed up. I still don’t really know what happened. For a while I couldn’t sleep more than an hour or so at a time. That seems to have gone back to normal, my sleep and great dreams are backk. And my back pain is back to about the same as before all this happened, or maybe a bit better actually, especially when I get my exercises done. I still feel a bit like my brain got fried, my memory is worse and I have a harder time concentrating. I guess I’m fairly okay now, but that whole thing took a big chunk out of my summer. For a while I didn’t see the goats as much as I wanted to. Hopefully next spring and summer will be good. I just want to sit in the sun with the goats.
The goats have been good. The construction work isn’t great for them, but I’m just thankful there have been no disasters on that front. Hopefully they’ll make it through the night okay. I always worry about all the fireworks. It’s going on constantly now. Poor things are probably scared. Just gotta get through the night.
Yeah a crazy year. I hope you’re all doing out there. Thank you for being there and being supportive through it all. I probably lost some friends over the political rants, but hey. I can’t keep it all bottled up. Hopefully there will be less to rant about next year. After the first month anyway. Sorry if my rants piss you off, but thank you if you put up with me. Me and my family are thankful for all the love.
May 2021 be the best it can be. We’ll do our best.
See you next year, which is in about seven minutes.

Good goat times today. Ah, January 1st. The day when I just want to eat junkfood and sleep. But I’m so worried about my goaties that I have to get out in the morning while everyone else is sleeping off the champagne and gunpowder comas to go chevk on them.
It’s a tradition. I always worry about them so much on new year’s eve. Paranoid that I’ll show up and the whole place will have burnt down. But thankfully that has never happened. And today was another fine January 1st with goats. All of them out of the pen and seemingly perfectly happy. It can’t have been a fun night for them. I hate to think of them cooped up together in the dark, not knowing why there are constant explosions outside for a while. But at least it’s only one night. And they didn’t seem bothered. And I didn’t find any blown fireworks in the pen, I always worry that someone might throw fireworks after them, or some stray rocket goes in the pen. I really wish fireworks could just be banned. Have professional people do professional displays at midnight and stop kids being jerks with bombs. Honestly, I was a kid being a jerk (well, a little) with bombs on new years. I get it. But ban it and that’ll be normalized soon enough and people can enjoy beautiful fireworks displays and not have to worry for their safety and whoops this wasn’t meant to be a rant.
Well, it was good to be with the goats. Hopefully 2021 will have lots more of that. And I hope you all got through the night well too. Onwards and goatwards.

Oh by the way, 2020 had one last little kick in the nertz for our family, as my brother managed to hurt himself at work. I think he was doing some restocking and there was for some reason some broken glass and he cut himself. Had to go to the doctor and get stitches. He’s doing okay, but I sure am glad that it’s now 2021 and nothing bad can happen anymore. It’s like having superpowers, I think I’m going to go jump off a building because I’m pretty sure an open truck delivering matresses will pass by underneath as I fall. Best year EVER

One of the fun things about starting a new year is that I get to create a new album on my website for the new year. And I get to look at the album of the previous year and see how many photos I took. The tally for 2020? …1992 files.
I’m like a Monty Python sketch. “Here’s a goat next to the house. Here’s a goat in front of the house. Here’s a goat at the other side of the house. Here’s the house but you can see the shadow of a goat behind it.”
