Fridays with Nicole Sander, Going, Going, Gone Fishing Edition
Note: As I mentioned at the end of this … I’m going to be out of pocket next week. My goal is to do something I have not done for a decade: to take a week off posting.

That’s Fantastic, Marcy! ENJOY!
How do you spell that fornicating word? I’m a little hard of hearing.
Banjaxed: “is widely used in Ireland (and more rarely in the UK) to informally describe anything that’s beyond repair, from the government to the kettle”

Here’s a good quote from the from Ball of thread 6/24, about Kate Starbird University of Washington writing about about the Minnesota shooter:
Now I see my previous question was answered later. But I have another question that maybe shouldn’t be asked: If goon squads of unidentified, masked men in black are grabbing people off the streets, should we all get concealed carry permits to defend ourselves from abduction? I pose this as a rhetorical question. It is only rhetorical because of my personal situation makes me an unlikely target.
When armed, masked, unidentified men show up anywhere, call 911. Even before they start kidnapping people or aiming guns at the locals.
Real law enforcement doesn’t wear masks. Even if they are allowed to. Get the police involved to verify that these cosplay cowboys are legitimate.
Real law enforcement has IDs they’ll show you. They shouldn’t start by beating on people. Or grabbing them off the street and throwing them in unmarked vehicles. Or jamming them at an intersection in unmarked vehicles. They should also have real judicial warrants, not administrative warrants, for actual crimes, not misdemeanors from years past (especially if those were erased).
Could be too late.
A word of (possible) warning to folks around EW.
One of the last times Marcy took extended time off, the long-awaited “will they or won’t they?” indictment of Scooter Libby was announced.
Kind of makes me wonder what big story will happen this time Marcy is taking a week off from posting.
Marcy, wishing you well wherever you may be next week and whatever you may be doing.
March, sleep well for a week.
Marcy, hope you are taking a break and sleep well for a week.
Enjoy your time away from the digital universe. Hope whatever you do is restful, restorative and nourishing.
Thanks for all the light and insight you’ve shared over the years. Take good care.
