Leonora Carrington *I couldn't find the title of this work after many seconds of internet searching. "TinEye" was no help, so I will happily admit defeat. The first one to find the title will get a two year cardboard membership with the Garrett-Buster app. Addendum: Found it! Maybe. Grandmother Moorhead's Aromatic Kitchen And of course one of you lunatics found it first! Congratulations to commenter "Piper!"

In 1955 or even '65, the squares might have been shocked. By '75 they were all in on "avant-garde" stuff, wearing bell-bottoms and long hair on guys (God help us all) and talking about wife-swapping (ditto).

Scruton's introduction to his 2009 BBC documentary Why Beauty Matters vimeo.com/128428182.
"At any time between 1750 and 1930, if you asked educated people to describe the aim of poetry, art or music, they would have replied 'beauty'. And, if you had asked for the point of that, you would have learned that beauty is a value, as important as truth and goodness.
Then, in the 20th century, beauty stopped being important. Art increasingly aimed to disturb and to break moral taboos. It was not beauty, but originality, however achieved, and at whatever moral cost, that won the prizes.

Not only has art made a cult of ugliness. Architecture too has become soulless and sterile. And it is not just our physical surroundings that have become ugly. Our language, our music, and our manners are increasingly raucous, self-centred, and offensive, as though beauty and good taste have no real place in our lives. One word is written large on all these ugly things, and that word is 'me': my profits, my desires, my pleasures. And art has nothing to say in response to this, except 'Yeah, go for it!'
I think we are losing beauty, and there is a danger that with it we will lose the meaning of life."

Pointless. We already have "resilience" and "relevance" and they already have the exact same meaning.

Was when Target had a kiosk of masks with a mirror on it so you could see what you looked like in different masks.

Especially notable, a lot of people smoke cigarettes, and it is not unusual to see people wearing a mask and smoking, through the mask mind you.
Reminds me, I re-read 'The Year the Yankee's Lost the Pennant' yesterday. Smoking was part of the story when 'Applegate' would light up his cigarette without a match or lighter. Even 'Joe Hardy' smoked. The regular season ended around September 21st.

Texas AG announces major election fraud raids after organization accused of registering noncitizens to vote | Natural News
The Attorney General of Texas, Ken Paxton, has just launched major election fraud raids with a series of search warrants that are being carried out throughout the state as part of his two-year investigation into election fraud.
Although his team has been looking into multiple allegations, including ballot harvesting and voter fraud, one key focus of the raids is an organization that is believed to have been registering non-citizens to vote in the U.S., although the organization was not named publicly.
Paxton said that the idea of organizations who claim they are helping with voter registration but are instead illegally registering noncitizens is very troubling and that his office looks into every credible report they receive about actions that could put the integrity of our elections in doubt.

Well, then, they were not self-lighting. They were "strikable" cigarettes.
Some SF writer in the '70s, possibly Larry Niven (who used to be quite the smoker), envisioned future cigarettes, though with all the carcinogenics removed, that you would light by sucking on the proper end and poof!
I met Larry at a con in 1985. He was still smoking a pipe; he carried it in a holster on his belt. That is a serious piper.

When states do things easily recognized as tightening up election security like managing voter rolls, implementing Voter ID, and restricting mail in ballots, states become more Republican.
When states let election rolls fester and push mail in balloting in all cases, all of which would be considered questionable, at best, by UN election watchers, and they become more Democrat.

Disney Forming Committee to Replace CEO Bob Iger | Breitbart News
Morgan Stanley Executive Chairman James Gorman will lead Disney’s search for a successor to Bob Iger, two years after the company’s longtime leader came out of retirement following a rocky transition to his hand-picked replacement.
Iger returned in 2022 after a period of clashes, missteps and a weakening financial performance at Disney under his chosen successor, Bob Chapek.
Iger was Disney’s public face for 15 years, compiling a string of victories lauded in the entertainment industry and by Disney fans, before he retired in 2020.
Shares of Walt Disney Co. rose slightly before the opening bell Thursday.
On his return, Iger initially agreed to a two year contract in order to redirect Disney’s trajectory and help find a new chief executive. But in July 2023 Iger agreed to a two-year contract extension that will keep him at Disney through the end of 2026. [...]

There was a flameless lighter on the market for a while. I have actually seen one. A little metal tube, looked like a ladies' lipstick. Contained a wick saturated with alcohol, a valve worked by pressing the end, and a small platinum screen on the business end. Stick the end of the cig into the platinum screen, push the button, and take a drag. Screen would become red hot by catalytically burning the alcohol.

I know some people who vape, and it doesn't bother me because they are pretty discreet about it. I see them doing it, but they don't make a show of it. I have also seen douches in bars blowing out huge clouds of scented glycol vapor, simply because they can. Douches.

Partly. I think it's more fundamental than that, though.
Remember the war on smokers that started in the 80s? They always framed it as harm to others. "You can kill yourself if you want, but you can't kill *me* with your secondhand poison!" That was BS. The underlying studies screwed up the causal factors, but even that was beside the point. It was a war on smokers, as such.
When e-cigs happened in the mid aughts, it tested the assertion. That is a case where there are no secondhand effects. Even if you can smell it, nicotine vaporizes fully. The exhalation is non-dangerous (even the inhalation is only minimally dangerous). It truly is, "killing yourself, not your neighbor" - even if the "secondhand smoke" studies had been valid in the first place.
But use is still heavily restricted by law.
Never, ever call the bluff. They hate that.

If I were elected governor of a state, any state, the first thing I'd do is order an audit of voter rolls compared to a new census. I'd fund it with anything I could get my hands on.
I'd hire an outside the state resource to do the census and the audit.
Anyone resisting lawful orders would be jailed and stripped of their positions and, if possible, pensions.
When, say, Kansas City suddenly had 33% of the voting rolls after this process, I'd start criminal proceedings about how that happened.

20M fake votes (above the 2016 baseline) in 2020. What's to stop them from going for 50M in 2024? The courts made it very clear that before totals are posted you can stop the fake votes and after they are posted the results are final so the courts will do NOTHING.
So...GOPe going to do anything?
And note the point of the fake Kamala polls are to allow them to scale up the fake votes during election month.

It's called "cloud chasing." Anything raised to the status of "lifestyle component" will have a similar effect.
e-cigs are essentially a drug delivery mechanism. That's it. "Put nicotine into the bloodstream." But if it becomes part of your lifestyle or identity, it becomes a lot more. "My works are cooler than yours" or "I can make YUGE vapor clouds with my rig" and whatever.
The "cloud chasers" are lifestyle people. The discrete or indifferent ones are just looking for a clean and efficient means of delivering the chemicals.

The relatively easy way to clean up the rolls is just burn them after each election. Yes you have to go re-register but compared to everything else the government mandates it is not asking very much.

Sure. I think 2020 was pretty damn clear.
But, they had some results, no matter how fraudulent (1.7 million ballots out of 5 million in GA with no images), which gave them cover.
The French government outright lost its election. They don't have an election to fall back on, no matter how...questionable. They're just keeping power.
That's another level.

I have been advocating exactly this for years.
Three months after the general election is certified, the rolls should be burned. The next election - whatever it is - *must* be at least six months from that date. You have up until -2 months from election day to register and get back on the rolls. If you don't get it done within sixty days of an election, you don't get to vote that time. Pay more attention next time. Repeat after every general (every four years).
Voting should imply that you are least somewhat tuned in and paying attention, and it would make roll maintenance happen by default.
