On Window Tapping, the Northern Edition
My laugh for the night, summarizing our situation in the woods under the orders of Hair Whitmer, courtesy of the Powerline's Midweek edition. The Babylon Bee's Translation Guide, also posted there, provided another apt tap on the window of intolerance.

Think that's Frau, although a pun is not without merit.
And we've got chipmunks doing the same thing.
We have a couple of mountain lions running around the neighborhood checking on us, bravely evading capture by The Man (or, rather, The Woman). Brings a whole new level of urgency to the daily bike ride.
Miami Has Recorded No Homicides in 6 Weeks
Has Florida Man succumbed to the WuWHO Flu?
The mysteries of life: Picture a bear knocking on a window, and look what shows up!
The Rural Michigan Legend himself!!! With one sharp tooth left in his head, a bristled arrow protruding from his jaw and a trail of used toilet paper stuck on his rear paw and dragging along behind him.
The Other One with Many Names (all starting with "I" with the focus of attack-shaming YOU) wasn't the one who was finally muzzled at the start of this current crisis when the piles of bear scat and bells left behind at the campground over the course of years finally got to be too much. Nope, she's less voluminous than the bear, more in line with the rabid, mask-wearing raccoon or weasel.
Unless of course it's another creature with two heads wearing a bear costume, looking for another fevered cabin with to raid. Oh, it's all so confusing. Best to keep the slider shut.
I am going with the theory that it is the She Wolf although it might be Ritmo.
I just don't think so as he is usually more verbose.
I'd have preferred it to have been Ritmo
Unfortunately, the swipe at SixtyG does bear some resemblance to the juvenile post pissing, officiousness and lack of integrity that's shown up here before, this time under the name of someone who finds it necessary to present themselves as muffled by the unlikely sequence listed, as if that would be the case.
edutcher, a D added to the end of Frau also works.
On the Queen of "That's Ridiculous", from a year ago, March 2019:
"Five months before proposing a 45-cent-per-gallon fuel tax increase, Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer denied she planned to push a 20-cent increase, calling the claim “ridiculous.”
Whitmer’s comments from a televised 2018 gubernatorial debate resurfaced this week as the East Lansing Democrat unveiled a plan to “fix the damn roads” that would give Michigan the highest gas tax in the nation.
“Gretchen Whitmer wants to have a 20-cent gas increase,” her Republican general election opponent Bill Schuette said during the Oct. 12 debate in Grand Rapids.
“That’s ridiculous,” Whitmer replied, telling Schuette his assertion was “nonsense, and you know it".
Seems like old times.
Sorry I missed the excitement. I predicted a couple weeks ago at Trooper's blog that Ritmo would show here or there after having been "banned" by Meadehouse. Thing is, these sort of "bans" are pretty loose. Ritmo was "banned" in the same fellow swoop as that obnoxious version of Titus : Sitter Space. But Sitter Space came back. Frankly, this shit bores me. That's why I've been away.
Recent mention of increased page views at Levity may have roused from hibernation whatever beast it was that came window tapping. Particularly odd was the dropping of the name of the artist who'd been bullied and maligned here in the past, especially after his expressed preference to all who cared that it not come up again.
Finding another place to freely post thoughts, perhaps on a blog of one's own, would be my suggestion for anyone feeling particularly muffled or shut down in this place or post. Providing Lem with a link to that place would allow him the freedom to make the choice to include it on the blog roll or not.
Frankly, this shit bores me. That's why I've been away.
Out of curiosity, what would you find interesting, chickelit? I've asked several times what commenters who come to Levity are looking for, wanting or expecting and have not received much in the way of an answer.
Levity and Gravity is my short answer. The longer one involves the connection and linking that honest communication offers and invites.
Levity and Gravity is an awesome name. Might be harder to pull off in practice but the aim is admirable.
I probably should start a blog back up again. Or take the old one back on-line. I think the challenge is how one challenges oneself. Group blogs help, but they seem to be a thing of the past. Apparently the editorial direction common in Old Media (now back in vogue) is the only way to go. But editors can only help but to invite officiousness. (Great Triple Word Score on that one, BTW).
Creativity, zaniness, exploration - all good. But that's why blogs always attract trolls. It's hard to ask commenters to be any less free-wheeling than the authors, especially when disagreement is unavoidable. But that makes for arguments that even more passionate, and shortly thereafter, pissy.
(Trooper can insert a golden showers reference here).
In any event, you've given me food for thought. And hell of a great animal spirit. It was inspiring enough to halfway consider changing my avatar to a bear. I guess I always was a much better bear than a wolverine.
Thank goodness I could never be a cardinal, though.
Your wit is appreciated. Hope you don't mind my taking up some of these ideas - re: naming and posting. You can take as much of the credit, or linking or blog-rolling as you like.
LLAP.
