PLANTERS! But can something REALLY prickly get planted to prevent inappropriate "deposits?"

New Planters on the North side
of South Walker St.

 RantWoman has this apparently quaint expectation that she should be able to walk unimpeded from the back door of her building to a bus stop a mere block away.

RantWoman calls this a quaint expectation because the sidewalk and the adjacent street seem to look VERY appealing to people who need to park random vehicles, do inexplicable bicycle repairs and generally strew the details and accoutrements of their daily lives all over the sidewalk. 

Actually, RantWoman is being diplomatic and is deliberately not attempting in-depth analysis of what else goes on.

This is a long and sordid story and sometimes RantWoman has to vary her route to the bus stop if she cannot clearly tell that the sidewalk is passable. Needing to vary an intended route is doubly irksome because RantWoman lately has suddenly over the last several months been dealing with ARTHRITIS.

Anyway, RantWoman is VERY excited today to see brand new planters installed.

RantWoman will ask around but hopes that tending the planters are someone's Adopt-a-Street project because they WILL need regular attention.

RantWoman will also be thrilled if the planters get filled with something extremely prickly, like rosemary or ...to reduce anyone's temptation to make the sort of disgusting deposits that turn up when people do not have proper bathroom facilities.

"He likes me" Umm, BELIEVE THE WARNINGS

 #Yellowstone #Bison

DO NOT try to pet the bison! GIVE THEM SPACE!

RantWoman is always OUTRAGED to hear about some dumb tourist not respecting wild animals.

This video is much kinder but also blunter about realities.

Rutting season!

While we are at it, some other animals have their moment.

The new Senator Graham in it for the long haul.

 #SCpol #DarlineGraham

Would SOMEONE please eff-ing do some research about the new Sen. Graham's professional background? Digression: modern married women make all kinds of choices about which names they use where. If Sen. Darlene is already getting grief because people assume she got where she is because of her brother, how would an unknown name help her? The new Senator Graham has successfully run a state agency serving the blind for a long time. Assuming that is not worthy of a Senate campaign is both sexist and dismissive of the importance of making sure #PWD are part of the community. She probably knows her way around SC politics really well. Sorry guys, there flat need to be more women in the Senate and Darline seems a LOT saner than Nancy Mace. Maybe women's insight can help cut through the Epstein sludge.

Oh, and President #StableGenius treats the word #affordability" like some kind of epithet. THe #GOP could take a bath because of it. OR someone who can talk effectively about domestic matters COULD just save the party...

MAGA Backlash ERUPTS After Lindsey Graham's Sister Makes Major Announcement

Adios Copa Mundial

#FIFA #FIFA2026 #CopaMundial

Inspired by all of RantWoman's connections who watched the World Cup final.

 Was it a good game?

For the side that won. The other side played badly.

So RantWoman heard.

Also, President #StableGenius got booed. He also fell asleep. He was rooting for Argentina. Was this because Argentine president Javier Milei is a giant groupie of #DonSnorelone while Spain has firmly said "No" about lending airspace to ill-advised military campaigns? Is the curse of the President's team preferences? On the bright side, someone managed to herd #DementiaDon off camera during the trophy presentation.

RantWoman loved the idea of turning whole sections of cities into giant watch parties. RantWoman also avoided travel around watch parties she did not care to attend. RantWoman loves the idea of nerding out about one sport and getting more fulsome national stories than the olympics where there are dozens of sports and hundreds of athletes.

Dear World

Thank you very much for coming. 

Lots of people in the US hope that next time around we will have a better-behaved President. 

Also, please take home some Ranch dressing.
