It was an absolutely gorgeous day here at Casa Brillig — bright sunny day without a cloud in the sky, and at 40F warm enough to enjoy being outside. While I spent quality time outdoors this time last week at the homeless outreach project I chaperoned last weekend with our church youth group, I’ve spent far too many days this week inside (or outside shoveling, but I’m pretty sure that doesn’t count). So I grabbed headphones and tuned into Spotify then went for a 3 mile walk around a nearby lake. I do this walk almost daily during warm weather, and this was my first circuit of 2019. It’s Friday night and a time to relax, so grab a beverage, get cozy, as I’ve got a few pictures I took on my walk after the hop over our nightly word from the Top Comments crew...
Here at Top Comments we welcome longtime as well as brand new Daily Kos readers to join us at 10pm Eastern. We strive to nourish community by rounding up some of the site's best, funniest, most mojo'd & most informative commentary, and we depend on your help!! If you see a comment by another Kossack that deserves wider recognition, please send it either to topcomments at gmail or to the Top Comments group mailbox by 9:30pm Eastern. Please please please include a few words about why you sent it in as well as your user name (even if you think we know it already :-)), so we can credit you with the find!
If you’d like to contribute by helping out as a TC writer, please contact BeninSC or brillig for more info!
I hope you’ve enjoyed my walk! I also hope you’ll take time to visit our trio of Top Comments, Mojo and Pictures that we bring to you every night! I regret I will not be here when this diary posts; Mr. Brillig and I are sneaking out tonight to go see Alita: Battle Angel, and I won’t be back until well after midnight Eastern. Please chat amongst yourselves and I hope you’ll show me pictures of YOUR favorite walk spots!
While walking, I had Spotify set to my New Release playlist. It’s an autogenerated list of new music based on my listening history, and it gave me something beautiful! Please check out this version of Peter Gabriel’s In Your Eyes. I have an old lab-mate in favor of Catalan independence, so this goes out to he and his people.
TOP COMMENTS
Brillig's ObDisclaimer: The decision to publish each nomination lies with the evening's Diarist and/or Comment Formatter. My evenings at the helm, I try reeeeallllyy hard to publish everything without regard to content. I really do, even when I disagree personally with any given nomination. "TopCommentness" lies in the eyes of the nominator and of you, the reader - I leave the decision to you. I do not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks down. Please remember that comment inclusion in Top Comments does not constitute support or endorsement by diarist, formatter, Top Comments writers or DailyKos. Questions, complaints or comments? Contact brillig.
There were no nominations tonight- that doesn't mean there weren't excellent comments out there, so if you see them PLEASE send them in! We need you!
