To get back to the warning that I’ve received, you might take it with however many grains of salt you wish, that the brown acid that is circulating around us is not specifically too good. It’s suggested that you do stay away from that. Of course it’s your own trip, so be my guest. But be advised that there is a warning on that, okay?

"A Little Night Music"? Nightmare, more like. Though those can be as entertaining as more pleasant dreams.

Come to think of it: The light visible through the partly open door looks like the otherworldly light in Poltergeist.
"A terrible presence is in there with her. So much rage, so much betrayal . . . It keeps Carol Anne very close to it and away from the spectral light. It *lies* to her, it tells her things only a child could understand. It has been using her to restrain the others. To her, it simply *is* another child. To us, it is the Beast."

Posted by: She Hobbit (out and about in Middle Earth) at June 10, 2024 09:41 AM (e2k3W) ++++ Roving sunflowers spent much of the latter half of the 19th century and first quarter or so of the 20th skulking about and hunting for children who worked in industrial concerns. Upon finding them, the sunflowers would attack and extract vitamin D from their systems. This - not poor factory lighting conditions and absence of windows - was the *real* cause of rickets in industrially-employed youth in that era. Aggressive herbicide campaigns along with the clearing of smog thanks to coal stack filtration eliminated the problem just in time for socialist luminaries to take credit for the solution as a part of their trade unionist alliance against child labor.

This has the same effect on me that some Dali paintings do. I admire the ability of the artist to create a strange image and mood. But often the image itself leaves me cold or uninterested, sometimes repulsed. (The little girl with the open blouse is disturbing.)

Ersatz Sarah Conner: Watching My Children with the Sunflower, it was suddenly so clear. The Sunflower would never stop. It would never leave them, and it would never hurt them, never shout at them, or get drunk and hit them, or say it was too busy to spend time with them.
It would always be there. And it would die to protect them. Of all the would-be fathers who came and went over the years, this thing, this Sunflower, was the only one who measured up. In an insane world, it was the sanest choice. Posted by: Thomas Bender at June 10, 2024 09:54 AM (XV/Pl) 123

FINALLY someone has said when Dems should have been saying for months! Maxwell Alejandro-Frost (D-Fl), on the Chris Hayes show on Friday, punched it home. Everything costs too much, and it's caused by corporate greed! I've never really noticed inflation until this go-around. Isn't corporate greed a great Dem rallying cry? And it's based on real, lived experience!
Dems should publicly shame the corporations for what they are doing. It's politically oriented, to create complaints that Biden is at fault for inflation. Corporations are going to charge whatever price the market will bear. Which only proves we’re in a robust economy, as people manage to continue to buy things at these high prices. This is because of the pandemic, it seems to be worldwide, at least it is in European countries. Biden has been saying this. "That's corporate greed" "still too many corporations in America ripping people off. Price gouging, junk fees, greedflation, shrinkflation." Yet there are still those who insist the buck stops with Biden. Why does Biden get blame for shit he has no control over, yet little or no credit for what he's accomplished?

New study blames obesity on ... loud aircraft noises Posted by: Anonosaurus Wrecks, The Outlaw Donald Trump 2024 at June 10, 2024 09:55 AM (L/fGl) ++++ Sure. And low pollen counts result in wet streets, too, I'm sure. No. In most cases, poor discipline and practices cause obesity. That *should* be trumpeted as good news. Since it usually results from choices, it can be *fixed* with choices, too. That's an extremely optimistic thing. "You're fat and you're fat because you make bad choices and that's nothing to feel good about it - but you can fix it if you make good choices instead" isn't exactly a bad thing. It also happens to be the reality. Stop making people victims of circumstance. It does a disservice to the person you're mollifying *and* to anyone who is actually a victim of something outside their control.

Congress has the power of "Special Contempt" which does not have to go through the DOJ. That power allows them to imprison someone found in "Special Contempt" in the House Jail until such time as they comply with a House issued Subpoena. No other branch of the government can interfere with that power. There is even a Supreme Court case on the subject.

Fixed costs regardless of everything else. Five workers at Fed minimum wage - $36.75/hour Five workers at Cali minimum wage - $100.00/hr. That $62.25 an hour, every hour you are open, is a bitch to make up. Posted by: rickb223 at June 10, 2024 10:08 AM (n/S9s) 195

OK, what does "inflation is a monetary phenomenon" mean?
Posted by: Bulgaroctonus at June 10, 2024 10:08 AM (v6JzV) ++++ If you emit money without anything backing it, you increase the denominator and prices go up. Purely math. Mechanically, it shows up in various ways, but at the end of the day it's purely monetary: you printed more money than you should have, so it gets absorbed in price. Hyperinflation cannot happen without inflation, but it's different. You can print lots of money and if confidence is maintained, you just get high prices. If confidence fails - people no longer trust the currency *at all* or the authorities' ability to manage it - then the currency devalues nearly to zero regardless of what happens next.

Back then people spent more time physically active and they hadn't yet adopted the modern food pyramid.
You think the food pyramid was really that different? I'd imagine grains still formed the foundation of the regular diet, with meat and veggies in the middle. The pyramid certainly minimizes how much fat and oil should be consumed, when back in the day people used lots of lard and butter, but I think most people still eat more fat/oil than the pyramid recommends. Lack of physical labor and ever increasing portions are major culprits...and maybe additives? It seems like a burger, or other food stuff, made from scratch has 20% fewer calories than a similar, pre-made restaurant version. Posted by: Moron Analyst at June 10, 2024 10:11 AM (JCZqz) 206

Wacko. Thought maybe from a childhood horror story but..
The Debutante, The Feminist-Surrealist arts journal. Dorothea Tanning and Perilous Childhoods I: 'Eine Kleine Nachtmusik' by Selin Genc, 09/02/2021 In part, "There is an intimate connection as well as hostility between the young girl and the animated flower. Surrealism scholar Catriona McAra speculates that the sunflower in Eine Kleine Nachtmusik signifies defloration, menstruation and erotic nocturnal knowledge. Furthermore, I would add that the flower is abject, making use of psychoanalyst and philosopher Julia Kristeva’s key notion of the abject, which fascinates yet disgusts, excites yet terrifies. Such conjuncture of opposites is incarnated in the monstrous sunflower, which seems to mirror and exteriorise inner attributes of the child in its confrontational correspondence to her. It is the unknown the child senses within herself: a source of concern and fascination. ‘One does not know it, one does not desire it, one joys in it. Violently and painfully. A passion,’ writes Kristeva. Interesting Monday art but will pass hanging. Thanks. Posted by: L - If they do it with you, they'll do it to you, too at June 10, 2024 10:16 AM (NFX2v) 221

If you don't do much, you don't need much food.

Fats are satiating. Carbs, less so. When the government declared fat to be "persona non grata", Big Food started marketing "low fat" or "fat free" everything. Trouble is, it tastes like shit. You know what makes it tastier? Sugar. Lots, and lots, of sugar. And, best of all, pumping all that sugar into everyone increases inflammation which adds demand for Big Pharma.

Women artists. There is no such thing—or person. It’s just as much a contradiction in terms as "man artist" or "elephant artist". You may be a woman and you may be an artist; but the one is a given and the other is you I suspect when she said this it was non-controversial. Twenty years ago it would annoy the left for not claiming being a woman artist is somehow different from a male artist but now?

Our Lowes is decent, but Home Depot is like the stupidest welfare recipients running a hardware store. Every aisle you go down is blocked by a staircase or boxes or yellow tape or a forklift. They were polishing the floors at one in the afternoon yesterday with a huge motorized machine. The employees act like you're in their way and inconveniencing them. There's no acknowledgement that their job is based on me buying something... Which I didn't because what I needed had a nice empty shelf where it was supposed to be. Every time I go to Home Depot now, I end up leaving empty handed because it's too difficult to find or navigate the store.

Biden Admin Now Saying They Don't Have Enough Planes to Deport Illegals
Posted by: Anonosaurus Wrecks, The Outlaw Donald Trump 2024 at June 10, 2024 10:24 AM (L/fGl) ++++ You know you can use them more than once, right? And that you don't have deport every illegal in a single trip? This is pretty easy. Build an internment camp near the border, send every identified illegal to it, use it for processing, holding and rapid adjudication, then house them until the airlift can take their asses home.

>>There is no way for a body to process that much sugar without a deadly reaction. B-b-b-but it's *healthy*. God save the Mark. Sugar is not bad, we just consume far too much of it, and do not have the life styles to support such intake, insulin is a powerful growth hormone, it's why elite body builders inject insulin, it shuttles nutrients into cells to fuel growth. But when you generate a massive insulin dump in a none elite athlete, as we do with our sugar rich food, you simply create a lot of fat people and fat children.

None of the agencies were his to use as tools. They would not have complied had he asked them to "go after Hillary". The entire Deep State, Congress, his own VP, even his own Attorney General, that Biden, or whoever is in charge, can use as tools to engage in justice or lawfare ever acted in opposition to Trump, for the most part.
