The Morning Rant
"A while back, Google helped the People's Republic of China build a crappier version of the internet, one that does not have anything in it that would not offend the commie mandarins who run the joint. The Google suits made the decision that they would rather be paid a bunch of money from the PRC than to maintain the integrity of their search engine. "By doing this, they enabled the mandarins to increase the efficiency of their totalitarian oppression of their own people. Which kind of makes a laughingstock of their "don't be evil" corporate slogan, but hey, this was just a business deal, nothing personal, I'm sure Google would say. "So, by kowtowing to the PRC, the NBA really isn't doing anything that Google hasn't already done first. And, for that matter, the US Government, who has been outsourcing the national debt to the PRC for a number of years now. "And it's sadly comical to see a SJW loudmouth like Steve Kerr, who has never been shy about offering his political opinions before, suddenly go all coy and demure when asked about China. It reminds me of, well, the bad old Cold War days when progressives did everything they could to condemn the United States while deflecting from, defending, and justifying whatever perfidy the USSR was doing at the time. And back then, the progressive rule was, America could do no right, and the Soviet Union could do no wrong. This rule applied not only to the USSR, but also Cuba, or Nicaragua, or whatever commie police state was en vogue. "Then they'd get huffy when you questioned their patriotism. "All in all, I like the idea of global capitalism, the free flow of goods and services across international boundaries, low or no tariffs or taxes, but there are still a few glitches that need to be ironed out."
PRC Spokesman LeBron James:
#LeBronJames is a complete coward and hypocrite. He readily assailed our President to Trump-hating US media, including ESPN — but excuses the tyranny of the Chinese Communist Party & criticizes NBA figures who stand up for the rights of #HongKongProtesters https://t.co/yJ1LcjVzQS

"Hi, I'm Caitlin and this is still the Situation Room without Wolf Blitzer who is on a spirit quest. He's crazy so he won't be back. The Democrat Debate happened and here to discuss it is Anderson Cooper. It isn't like I watched that stupid show."
A long pause.
"So, like, what happened? I haven't got all day."
"The horror," Cooper whispers. "It was all horrible."
"Like what? Horribly lame? Horribly boring? Horrible what?"
"I-I saw things at HR, during #MeToo training but this, this was terrible, the raw humanity, the primal animal within revealed...."
Cooper remains staring at a distant horizon as his jaw slowly unhinges.
Caitlin looks up from her phone and stops texting. "Ooooookaaaaay. Mandy, could you just run the highlights?"
***
The debate, chaos on stage.
To one side Buttigieg yells at Beto "You're just a furry! A skateboarding furry! I was in Afghanistan and I'm gay!"
Beto responds, screaming "Gun lover! Murderer!" before getting into a slapfight.
Biden sniffs Kamala's hair, saying "Gee, you smell just like wildflowers - AHHHH! My bloody eye!" as Harris maces him.
"That's the real police stuff, you oaf! Now for the fun part - police brutality!" as she starts clubbing him like a Canadian on a seal.
Kobuchar has Booker in a headlock while screaming "Say my name! Say my name! Say it! Say it!"
Sobbing, Booker stutters "An-Angry Amy! You're Angry Amy!"
"You got that right!"
In the center Warren stands and points around yelling "This will all go on your permanent records! Do you hear me? Your permanent records!"
And Bernie froths and clutches at his chest, pointing overhead, choking out the word "You!"
The camera pans skyward to show a large golden dirigible overhead, the message board on the side flashing "Socialism Sucks! Trump Rules, You Drool! MAGA Life!"
The footage stops, Caitlin muttering "Maybe I should have watched that, it was better than the last Stranger Things. That's all we have for today, so like I'm out of here."
To Be Continued...

The flight of factories from the Western nations to the developing world proved otherwise, leaving hollow economies. Vast regions were left without economic drivers, but since it didn't affect the think tanks or Wall Street, the "experts" never deigned to worry about the results of implementing their policies.
It has become abundantly clear to any rational observer that industrial retention is important, as a first-world economy cannot be sustained by selling each other cheeseburgers and mowing lawns. The "service economy" has been a snake eating its own tail, subsisting off of accumulated wealth while producing none itself.
While tariffs are not optimal, they do have a useful role in re-leveling the playing field against abusers (such as China) who engage in currency manipulation, subsidized dumping, and other shenanigans.

I think Google and Hollywood got away with it (more so Google) because we understand that they are international businesses. We've been hearing about international box office numbers for decades, so even if we don't like the China-friendly content, we get it.
However, the NBA is an American sports league, so it strikes a sour note when we discover they are willingly, happily bowing to China. Pair that with 3+ years of athletes kneeling for #BLM, starting with the NFL but quickly spreading to preachy NBA stars and beyond, and the hypocricy meter goes off the charts.
It's too much. They've personally insulted us for several years, calling us racist and saying we can take our offense and shove it, but the Chinese audience/government gets special consideration? Too much, guys, you've shown yourselves to be the worst kind of SJW posers, happy to trade your morality for some Nike and NBA jersey profits.

That sounds like an Italian sports car.
Y'know, I've long had a jones (not a long jones, which perhaps explains some things) for a Ferrari 550/575M, but the idea of paying someone else $200/hr plus ridiculous marked-up parts prices to work on the thing bugged me. Looking through the service manual shows that, while the service intervals are short, the procedures are straightforward. Some of the tools, though, while simple, are pricey.
Apparently the diagnostic tool I have/use/license to work on the proletarian vehicles in the household now supports pretty much all the Ferrari systems, for relative peanuts.
Maybe I should get into the Ferrari service tool business. Then I can write off the car purchases...

Then he had on a guy from Barstool Sports, ( sorry again can't remember name) who absolutely scorched Lebron. Not only took apart his statement about China, Morey , etc. but stated that Lebron has been nothing but a hypocrite since he came on the scene in basketball in HS, and basically echoed what I said yesterday about LeBron. Ripped into him for praising communist China just so he can sell shoes and make sure his movie is allowed to be shown in China in 2021. It was glorious.

I pride myself on my sneakiness.
The connection as I had originally conceived it was that she was the mom of the actress who played opposite Biehn in Aliens. I didn't find out until later than she had an uncredited appearance in the extended footage, making the connection even stronger.
She passed away in 2007.

Is it me or does she sound drunk, high, and without a cogent train of thought most times? How did she ever get up in front of a jury and present closing arguments? She slurs her words constantly, giggles , and runs her voice up and down the scale. It's bizarre.
Posted by: Jen the original at October 16, 2019 11:43 AM (hrQ04)
She really sounds like an idiot.
That key Party bigshots and donors ever thought she had a chance proves that they are all about identity politics and nothing else.
They thought they could use the Obama template--"black" but light-skinned, reasonably attractive (for politics) and a total Lefty.

It'll be funny if Michael Bloomberg jumps in, because the other dems will have to spend their money fighting him before they fight Trump.
The reason I think Bloomberg might do it is that he is insanely jealous of Trump, and he thinks he's better than him. He tells himself every day "if Trump did it, I can do it!!!" But he doesn't have a clue as to what makes Trump popular.

I don't like the special edition as much as the theatrical edition. It feels flabby in ways that the original doesn't and the added stuff doesn't add that much.

Love him or hate him, Donald Trump has charisma. And if those who hate him so desperately could be objective in the slightest, they'd have to concede he is a funny guy. Bloomberg has all the charisma of a turnip (apologies to turnips everywhere), and I've never even seen him smile once. Fill a stadium?

Harris has everything Obama has except a citizen parent. She's pure anchor-baby - Indian mother, Jamaican father.
Like Obama, most of her formative years were spent outside the US.
Like Obama, she adopted a 'person of color' styling because it helped her climb the ladder.
The sexism of the Democrat party, though, forced her to fuck her way to where she is now, while all Obama had to do was smoke Kools and give a (teleprompter) speech or two.

No one has the juice on their own to do this and have people above them cover for them/move assets around to keep things hidden and people off their backs.
That can only come from the top.

What I was primarily objecting to were the detours into Ripley's and Newt's backstories. You don't need to know *any* of that in order for the plot to advance..

==========
It's not really plotting, but more like the extra character stuff is nice but doesn't change the nature of the relationship between the two.
Ripley having a daughter she left behind and taking on Newt? It's a nice added wrinkle to the story, but the relationship between her and Newt is strong enough as it is.
Alien is about the destruction of a family, and Aliens is about the creation of a new family. They work remarkably well with that in mind. Ripley's family in the first was the crew. She was a daughter figure to Muthur who turned on the whole family. She becomes a woman over the course of the movie and takes on a family in the second.

This is a fascinating topic for me because I played basketball for a long time and interacted with some reasonably good players. So much of basketball is repetition of things that work which is why organized teams do drills so much to make things instinctive so that you consciously don't have to think of doing them; like being part of background processing. Some of my best performances have included making shots that I just took without thinking and subsequently had no idea how it happened but it worked. Also there have been out of body experiences where I thought of the court like a chess board and I was one of the pieces.
LeBron goes through that at an infinitely higher level. I got my car washed a few weeks ago at a place that had a door sized blowup of near the end of the Cavs championship game in 2016 when LeBron blocked a layup of Andre Iguodala. Leaving aside that his head was level with the rim, what made me stare at it for over a minute was the concentration on the ball and blocking it without it being goal tending.
LeBron might be brainless when he opens his yap but when he's on the court he's processing a lot of data in his noggin.

It's called a director's cut, but it's not actually a director's cut.
Some Fox editors assembled a new cut with about 15 minutes of new stuff added in. Scott watched it, hated it, and recut the movie to include the new stuff by taking out old stuff so it flowed better.
I've never seen the director's cut, by the way. The original is perfect as it is.

That's what the media doesn't get. They think Trump wakes up from a fever dream and starts tweeting nonsense and making claims--"without evidence."
Posted by: JoeF. at October 16, 2019 11:55 AM (NFEMn)
Well, that's what they do, and they're Smart. Because they're Smart, their conduct is obviously correct, so why would they think anyone else would do otherwise?
Posted by: joe, living dangerously at October 16, 2019 11:59 AM (KUaJL)
I saw some leftist outlet (maybe nevertrumper) saying that it was sad that Trump had been following very good policy on Ukraine until he started listening to all of the nutty conspiracy stories that had been fabricated by the Far Right. (meaning people like us) And that if he hadn't listened to us, he'd have been in great shape and no one would be attacking him. (I know, I know).

The Final Cut is the way to go.
Some of the rough edges of the Director's cut have gotten shaved down.
And yeah, the voice over of the theatrical is terrible. I know some people love it (Guillermo del Toro, for one prominent example), but Ford's readings are flat and bored while explaining what we see instead of adding interesting flavor.

It would take lawyers to craft the arguments better than I can, but there is certainly coercion involved ... and if Lebron has a corporate/commie minder speaking in his ear, then that is commie infiltration/subversive activity. Racketeering laws maybe could apply, or other practices that would/should be illegal in the US.
it may be that is why the rules are relaxed in Ukraine, and why so many love to go over there (or Russia/Saudi Arabia/etc) to collect their bribes. The globalists love to operate on "their" fake international law platform, escaping US law. Same with many of the tax free foundations that are really political op machines for the oligarchs, more command and control than charity. (the heart of the DeepState financing?)

But the United States simply is not a serious country. People will very, very cheerfully vote for people who promise to bribe us with our own money - even if it's money we don't have - and then when there is $22 trillion in debt, we'll point the finger at everyone else and whine that it's everyone else's fault.
By the way, I am curious: Japan will occasionally be the largest foreign holder of Treasuries but no one does any shrieking about that. Why? Once it's China, it's suddenly the end of the world - never mind that, once again, if we have no Treasuries to sell because we suddenly become a serious country that cares about such things, neither China nor Japan nor anyone else would have treasuries to buy.
