You may not understand or find humor. But try and think of a celebrity who makes you laugh or who is memorable for you. I’m sure you will have your own good and considered reasons as to why someone is important.

And I like to think about the mystery (or magic?), of why a moment goes viral and inspires others to imitate it or create their own art. The picture spawned improvisation. Like jazz, it spawned creative expressions as people used the image in their own improvisations. Andy Warhol was masterful at creating viral art.

You may never think it’s funny. And that’s okay. But what is accessible to you is appreciation of the magic of something that becomes instantly iconic.

There are pieces of art I do not personally understand, am affected by, or that grate on me — Bob Dylan’s voice, for instance. And while I can learn about (and appreciate) why others are attracted to him, he’s not a singer whose songs will ever make it onto one of my iPhone music playlists.

quickly.

I spent a good amount of time on Twitter looking at some of the memes and photoshop. Quite a few made me laugh out loud. Most were meh, and the brands that co-opted the image were boring.

I did like learning about who designed Bernie’s parka — it was from a Burlington, Vermont-based company called Burton. I didn’t notice the coat as much as the mittens. But after I looked at the coat and Burton, I want it.

His mittens were made of reclaimed wool and a gift from a pre-school teacher four years ago. Talk about on-Brand.

And the coat he was sporting was from a local designer in Burlington, Vermont (Burton, $200).

He was as successful at being a fashionista, the more I think about it.

The men's black suits were blah. I think most of them were Ralph Lauren. I think of formal menswear as utilitarian more than respectful.

Lady Gaga's dress was avant garde, and I loved it. Garth Brooks' jeans were uninspired.

Bernie was memorable and not disrespectful. He didn't make a show of himself or try to steal the spotlight.

I know you have an army of others who "share your opinion," and now you know mine. It's a fashion fight!

The right wing is the political element in this country that is supposed to dwell on political correctness and sameness. Beyond that, free expression is all-American. Further, do we even know what medical conditions Bernie may have that make him want to sit and have warmer hands than gloves would provide. Maybe he has poor circulation. I did over-hear a casual conversation about how the mittens were a special gift many years ago and that he wears them on special occasions. Haven't fact-checked that. He was wearing nice shoes and looked to be in dress slacks. Perfectly presentable, if curmudgeonly, and besides, he wasn't anywhere close to the center of attention in that audience.

you would have complained that he was trying to upstage the inauguration because of course that would have drawn attention too.

Dr Gott says Dr. Anderson is full of shit. So does Harvard.

https://www.health.harvard.edu/heart-health/what-you-should-know-about-the-latest-blood-thinners
So people taking warfarin need frequent blood tests to see if the dose needs to be adjusted. Also, warfarin takes five to seven days to become fully active as an anticoagulant. Finally, it causes other side effects besides bleeding, primarily hair loss, fatigue, and a cold feeling.



https://www.amarillo.com/article/20110821/LIFESTYLE/308219677
Coumadin does carry the side effects of cold intolerance and paresthesias, including feeling cold and chills. I suggest your family member speak with her physician.

Perhaps a change in medication is appropriate.

Other than that, she should wear layers and avoid going out in the cold or being in an air-conditioned building whenever possible.

Because you mention blood thinning as the cause, I would like to take this opportunity to talk about what Coumadin actually does. It is commonly thought that Coumadin and its generic form, warfarin, work by actually thinning the blood.

Bernie didn't detract from that, for me. If anything, he added to it since I laughed at many of the photoshops of him in the chair afterward.

Others seem to be really salty over his clothes, like he was wearing a garbage bag. It was cold and snowing, and I like his Vermont chic. And I love Vermont (it was where I married my husband before I could marry him anywhere else), and it will always hold a special place in my heart.

God only knows we need that in our lives. For those of you who are irritated, just ignore it. The fad will fade.

But you know who REALLY loves the whole thing? Local yarn shops and Etsy - yarn and patterns for mittens as well as the finished product are flying off shelves. Who knew this would be an economic stimulus? 😃

Truth be told Bernie was probably the only warm person in the crowd. Fashionable? No - but most certainly warm.

Same politics. Then again, I don't like everything about anyone. But, for the love of God, put your personal animosity aside for a bit and embrace the humor. We've had so little of that the last 4 years. Jebus, folks, enjoy life even though there are those in life you don't like. Ugh.

Bernie was in the audience, not up front. It's okay how he dressed. It was cold, and he's an old guy, ok? I don't care if you don't like him. I get mad at him sometimes too. I voted for him in the primary in 2016, not last year (I voted for Warren). My son-in-law is a pretty hard-core Democratic Socialist and a Bernie fan and that's okay. I think the memes are funny. If you don't, just go on. That's all.

110. What the nitpickers won't bother to point out

is that many of the attendees were dressed very much like Bernie - less the cool mittens, of course. But for some reason, only Bernie is being criticized for the outerwear he chose.

and donating the money to charity. That is what Bernie is all about, now and his entire life. Shirts keep selling out.

and talented. For all the vitriol towards social media it really is a great outlet for people and a lot of people are very funny and inventive. Love it.

... so that the thumb can point north and be the Keweenaw peninsula instead of jutting down into Wisconsin.

59. That picture showed up on our evening news.

Local news in little, old Victoria. Someone in their editing dept put it into a picture of the lighthouse the travelling crew was near, and not even most of the staff was clued it. General hilarity ensued!

Oh...and maybe something else that's kinda good about this story. This local news station was about to shutter its doors several years ago, but was bought by the staff, thanks to some crowdfunding. It's the only employee-owned TV station in North America.

I bet Bernie would like that.

he was just trying to stay warm.
Not sulking, just introspective. And COLD!

Berbie added: Love my mittens folks? Only Good Boys get those!
