I have been watching the late night comedians here to gain a degree of comfort as I watch the idiot in chief attacking bishops for appealing for mercy for the less fortunate during a church service; releasing violent criminals who show no remorse for attacking police officers with bear spray, flag poles, etc.; and sending thousands of troops to our southern border to deal with the lowest rate of illegal migration in the area in 4 years.  This is disturbing, to say the least, because if you are politically liberal, your views are automatically discarded, and if you are a conservative, you are threatened for any criticism.  It's like living through a season of Babylon Berlin.  The only thing missing are the brownshirts and the swastika armbands.

Today I had the usual breakfast:
Earl Grey tea and cream scones with blackberry jam and a marmalade made from blood orange, meyer lemon and hibiscus.  When you live in a place that has plenty of native citrus, you take advantage.  As for the Eastern U.S., I'm going to have to learn to make jam from snow, apparently.  The bunnies are still out hopping around, which is impressive given it's been below freezing for days on end.  They must store up body fat and have a nice little place to hole up in with all that nice fur to keep them warm.

Fortunately, due to working nights I have missed the hurrah of Trumps "crowning" .
I would like to state I dont care, but unfortunately it does effect millions of people who don't live in the USA.
I think we have enough problems of our own.

Most of the "Live TV" we watch is PBS, with mostly BBC content except for the News Hour.  I think we'll skip the news today because Agent Orange, the fascist rapist felon, is being sworn in to lead this declining nation of ours and it's just too depressing.

That looks interesting.
We recently discovered Pluto tv.  It's a streaming network that has shows like Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad, but they are on a continuous loop so you have to keep streaming them, like a forced binge watch.  It's ok if you have already seen the show or if it's a series that is reduced to singular episodes (like Red Dwarf, or Beavis and scoundrel -- two of the comedy offerings).  They have ads, but it's not bad since most of them aren't for drugs -- a relief after amazon prime.  Really, since you don't have to pay for this, unlike prime video, it's worth it.  I can't see how amazon can expect people to pay for their videos if one can access similar quality content with ads.  They'll have to step up their game, imho.

Anyway, Better Call Saul and Breaking Bad are two fine shows that easily stand up to a second viewing.

I can't remember the name of the Canadian series in which the French are settling wilderness there in the 17th/18th cc.  But it seems similar in tone to the clip you posted above.  I'll dig around and see if I can find it and will post the name.  It was a good series and I kind of stopped watching in the middle because I got distracted or the season ended and I forgot to get back to it.
