Saturday Night Club ONT - September 26, 2026 [Disco & Dino]

Welcome to Club ONT - a whelming collaboration of The Disco and The Dino.

Open thread - bar is open, too. Come in in, grab a drink or 2. Or 3. Keep it light and friendly. The Moose loves a good knock knock joke, so pause on your way in and share your best with him. The Moose has a strange sense of humor so don't take it personally if he doesn't get the joke.

*****

Saturday Night Jokes and Other Funnies

A taxi passenger tapped the driver on the shoulder to ask him a question.

The driver screamed, lost control of the car, nearly hit a bus, went up on the footpath, and stopped inches from a shop window.

For a second, everything was quiet in the cab.

Then the driver said, "Look, mate, don't ever do that again. You scared the living daylights out of me!"

The passenger apologized and said, "I didn't realize that a little tap would scare you so much."

The driver replied, "Sorry, it's not really your fault. Today is my first day as a cab driver - I've been driving a funeral van for the last 25 years."

Evelyn Annette Summers, who is in her early 20s, was arrested March 24 and charged with one felony count of communicating a threat of mass violence on educational property, according to North Carolina court records.

Why bother arresting them? Maybe it's about time that people start getting the crap beaten out of them instead. Arrest and release is a badge of honor for these people. A couple of broken arms or ribs might put a damper on their ardor for doing such things.

101 So. Totally off topic...
A half mile down the road from me today, an accident happened. As I drove by, it didn't appear to look like much, so I continued on my way. Coming back home to come up my mountain, the road was closed. I had to drive 35+ miles further to try and get home. Closed up there as well. It took me 3 hours to get home, that usually takes 40 minutes. I'm very much concerned that there was a death, just down the road from me. Hurts my heart.

130 I played in the dirt today. Well not played, I was digging around the hydrant that my idiot horse bent because he managed to catch his halter on the head and then panicked. I now know that I have at least a 5 foot bury depth model. I think it is 5ft and not 6ft but I have to dig some more to be certain. Part of me is thinking I could just flip a coin and if I'm wrong the hydrant will just be lower or higher to the ground, but I do want to get it dug out enough to be easy to replace.

And I should replace 2 to 3 hydrants. I have another one with a cracked head. I bought a replacement head but am not confident of getting the old cracked head off without messing up the hydrant. And another hyrdrant leaks. Ah the joys of country life.

164 Tonight we went to Globe Life Stadium in Arlington to see the Texas Tailgaters play the Savannah Bananas! 😲😲😲

(And now, the story on how we snagged tickets: seeing the Savannah Bananas was a Bucket List item, but tickets are impossible to get. I took a chance and wrote their front office, explained my terminal diagnosis, and asked if they had an "adult" version of "Make A Wish" - I figured the answer would be "No", but I also figured it wouldn't hurt to just ask.

Well, they got back to me with 2 tickets to see the game! So Paul and I went tonight and had an absolute blast 😊♥️. A very nice thank you note will be headed their way tonight -)

We were easily some of the oldest fans there, but it didn't matter - it was really sweet to see so many young kids and families there, having a wonderful time. It was also nice to see the teams praying together before the game, to see fans proud to sing the National Anthem, and to see veterans honored by the entire crowd. We always seem to hear the worst about people on the news, so it was a refreshing reminder that most people are really nice.

The Texas Tailgaters won 3-0 tonight 🥳🎊

166 Last thread someone spoke about the difference between Hitler and Stalin..to me its that Stalin didn't believe in "communism" it was just what he rode to become Tsar. I believe Hitler really believed that Jews were evil, Aryans were superior and all that. At first confiscating the Jewish wealth was a moneymaker but they spent much resources and manpower that they really needed for the war on the extermination process. Also they refused as much as they could, even with their inherent troop shortage, to use volunteer Russians to fight the USSR because they were "inferior Slavs". Once again, against their pragmatic interests. Stalin gladly took anything he could get from the " capitalists" and wanted more.

181 I saw Fight Nights at Freddies 2. Not as good as the original which was ok. Too many horror movie tropes recycled which is interesting because the game it is based on was successful because it was different and new.

Made a fair amount of money though.

And I have to laugh because the guy that made Five nights got outed as a Christian and almost cancelled for it. Note, he wasn't political, the attempt to cancel him was solely for his faith.

He got himself uncancelled enough to now get two movies bade out of the games.

The event in video was from Taiwan. We have a quite large LARP community, and they holding several events nearly every months, which are pretty fun.

We also have our official(?) Ordo Mediare LARP band that I have involved. Several cosplayers, larpers, even formar SCA player gathered together, and my role is helping them design the costumes, like a real Draper in the Ordo.😊

By now, our band has grown around 30 members. They not only join Taiwan LARP battle events, also parades, renaissance fairs, archery contest, and even appeared in one of the biggest LARP event - DrachenFest Germany in 2025. They're now so international, I'm very proud of them!

I was a freshman in a local college and Pooky was a junior in high school. We hadn't been together for even a year at this point. Some of my new friends wanted to get together for something, and I said that I had a date with Pooky that night. "Bring him along!" said the extrovert enthusiastically. I nervously admitted that I didn't know if he (or his parents) would agree to a sudden change in plans. The friend mimed calling him and said, "Honey, Sweetheart, Pookyyyy, won't you come with me tonight? Kisses!" I objected, "Pooky?! I don't call him *that*!" My friends all chimed, "YOU DO NOW!"

Needless to say, it stuck.

A half mile down the road from me today, an accident happened. As I drove by, it didn't appear to look like much, so I continued on my way. Coming back home to come up my mountain, the road was closed. I had to drive 35+ miles further to try and get home. Closed up there as well. It took me 3 hours to get home, that usually takes 40 minutes. I'm very much concerned that there was a death, just down the road from me. Hurts my heart. Many prayers for whoever this happened to.🙏🙏🙏

229 Finally dared to peek again at my big toe-- ugh. At least it isn't broken. I think.

I slipped off the bottom stair with one foot yesterday morning, and hit hard with toes curled under. Yow! And then landed on the floor, of course. No other injury besides a scuffed finger from the final landing.

Toe swelled up & turned purple-black by last night and I couldn't even try to bend it without severe pain. A little lighter color this morning and could flex the muscle with less pain.

Tonight it's still ugly, and purple-red, but no more black. Hurts to flex, but *can* make it move a little.

231 Bringing my bewillowed comment up from last thread, just to be redundantly redundant:

Thanks to the morons that gave positive reviews of The Sheep Detectives. We watched it on Amazon, with only three bearable commercial interruptions, none in the last half (as opposed to broadcast which loads commercials in the later parts of movies).

Just thought we'd start watching it to see how it was, and ended up watching the whole thing. I'm not a big fan of this kind of live-action intelligent-animals (who can all talk to each other) films, but this one worked pretty well. Funny to see Wolverine as a shepherd.😜

That'll do, sheep.

166 Last thread someone spoke about the difference between Hitler and Stalin..to me its that Stalin didn't believe in "communism" it was just what he rode to become Tsar.”

There’s another difference I’ve seen. They both caused the deaths of millions, but Hitler focused on killing those he had no contact with. If you were his pal, you probably were ok.
Stalin, while killing millions, also took a demonic pleasure in killing almost everyone he DID know personally. His family (except his two children), his “friends”, and his colleagues, past and present. There was nothing more dangerous than being
a “friend” of Stalin‘s.

241 I ran across an interesting point of history I didn't know.

William Joyce, aka Lord Haw Haw, was a German newsreader/propagandist during WWII. After the war the British arrested and hanged him for treason. I had assumed he was a British citizen but...he wasn't.

He was born in the US to Irish parents. However he was in Britain working with the British fascists shortly before the start of WWII. He decided to flee to Germany and lied to get a British passport. The Brits used this as grounds to try him for treason.

Which is...well...an interesting legal theory. Now he got German citizenship in 1940 so he wasn't also guilty of treason against the US because we wouldn't enter the war until 41.

266 We apparently have a new critter hanging around. The Pepe Le Pew kind. Dog suddenly took off to chase something today, and ignored commands to stop and come back. Don't like using the shock part of the training collar, but it did work, she came right back, and was better than having a stunk-up pup.

Of course they named him Chester.

I was over once and saw him in the backyard. It had just started to rain with big drops. He looked up, mad, and started barking at the rain to make it stop. Never occurred to Chester to actually get up on the porch and out of the rain.

309 Big bro was *really into* Star Trek when we were kids. Even as an adult, he remained a fan. Except for TNG, which he said was "pussy BS" but whatever...

He has the CD of music and sounds from TOS. I gave him a "Chilton's manual" (or some such) of the Enterprise, years ago. Sis gave him a Tribble toy. (Bro's cat *hated* the Tribble, LOL)

It was sci-fun, and so much more intelligent than anything else we could watch.

313 >> The actress (the redhead) who went with Khan was smokin' hot. I'd be pretty pissed if she died too.

The character's name was Marla McGivers. I looked that up to see if there was anything official in the cannon about her fate. In the Wrath of Khan movie, they had written the character in, but the actress had multiple sclerosis, and they just didn't include the character.

I don't know if it's "cannon" or not, but with all the other series and books, there's something about some disaster befell Khan's colony and she was killed somehow.

314 Iirc, "Ceti Alpha V" blew up, and Khan & co. had little time to escape? Ended up on "Ceti Alpha VI"?

Or some planetary switcheroo-- and Khan's 'wife' was killed in the process and that's why he was so vindictive.

Something like that, I guess. I didn't follow it closely...

Saturday Evening Movie Post [moviegique]: Resident Evil (2026)

Our second feature on our annual Halloween Haunt outing double-feature was Zach Cregger's take on Resident Evil.

We've seen plenty of Resident Evil movies in the past. Well, I have. Of the six films, I think I saw all but the last one, and in the theater to boo! The Boy saw 3, 4 and 5 with me, starting with Resident Evil: Apocalypse and culminating with Resident Evil: Retribution. The sub-heds are entirely decorative, shedding no light on the contents of the film which are, of course, a series of ridiculous special effects organized loosely around—well, not a plot, but organized around other special effects.

In fact, the reason we didn't see the last Anderson Resident Evil, which savvily borrows from the fourth Friday the 13th movie and calls itself The Final Chapter, was that we didn't think anything could top Retribution. There's a big fight in Red Square in Retribution, featuring zombie communist motorcycle cops, and in my memory, they all have sidecars full of Kodiak bears wearing ushankas with little red stars on them.

I would watch that movie again because I don't remember if the bears are lobbing grenades or wielding machine guns, but I'm worried they edited the bears out.

Motorcycle Cops in Red Square with Kodiak Bears in Ushankas in the sidecars, with machine guns.

From "Resident Evil: Moviegique's Mind".

So. Uh. Mr. Cregger. He of the excellent Barbarian and Weapons got himself hired to do a franchise. I didn't like this as much as either of those other films, but it was educational on a lot of levels.

First, and foremost: I think Cregger understands that his job is to entertain you. That's kind of refreshing.

Rather than borrow from the stilted, '80s-cop-drama feel of the video games, Cregger's main character is more like a Zoomer dropped into a Resident Evil game. To wit: He is not particularly competent. He's a slacker of course—aren't all generations entering adulthood regarded as layabouts by the previous generations? But getting back to his lack of competence, he's not great at his job and he's really not great at not his job, i.e., fighting—

Well, what the hell are the creatures in Resident Evil anyway? Some of them are zombies, but beyond those, it's really just a mishmash of visual concepts and game mechanics. There's not really any logic or consistency I've ever been able to suss out.

A very large, fat naked dude in shadows.

I am getting sick of movies using the Flock camera footage of my bathroom, however.

Whatever they are, though, our hero, Bryan (Austin Abrams, who is in Weapons and whom I first saw nearly 15 years ago in an obscure Jon Lovitz project called Jewtopia) stumbles across and through them by the skin of his teeth, like a guy playing Resident Evil.

Cregger does something very interesting here: When we see Bryan first, he's got his girlfriend on the phone and she's pregnant, and he's being politic about this. Instead of going to talk things out with her, he accepts a delivery job he's not really suitable for (but which is profitable), and while trying to hash things out, he hits a woman.

A zombie woman, though he's not aware of this.

He could drive off, but instead he does the right thing and tries to help her. She's not dead, of course, because she's undead. But this leads him to an encounter with a cop. When that goes bad, he once again does the right thing, and gets himself into deeper trouble.

Over and over, Cregger puts him into situations where being selfish could really pay off, but he always chooses to do the right thing.

"This person is in serious need of chiropractic! I'd better go adjust them!"

Which, I guess, means it's not really like someone playing the video game, because games train you to place self-preservation above everything, generally.

One remarkable thing about the film is that, while it doesn't hew to the Resident Evil games storyline, this doesn't appear to be a matter of disrespect or opportunism. This is a dramatic story taking place inside the game universe, not a Paul W. S. Anderson "I rewrote my zombie script to kinda-sorta fit into the game franchise." Cregger grew up in a video game world.

And this probably is why when the game slips into a first person P.O.V. mode that resembles the video game, it's almost seamless. It might even be seamless to someone who doesn't know movies don't do that without a very specific narrative purpose. And there's probably a fascinating thread to tug on here: movies evolved from stage plays (especially once sound entered the picture), and stage plays are never first person, obviously. (Although that's a kind of interesting idea, somebody call my agent!)

Anyway, that's not a thread I'll tug on here. You're welcome.

Despite being about an inch deep, then, we start rooting for Bryan beyond the usual "well, he's the hero" kind of rooting. As he encounters characters from the game, we sometimes veer into what looks to be "woke" territory—but, no, the inch-depth of this means almost everything is played for a dark laugh, a quick scare or some genuine suspense as Bryan fights, flees and finagles his way into Raccoon City.

This is not a diss, by the way: I think Cregger did the right thing, a light touch was the wawy to go, and I think the movie will probably turn something like a profit—although $75M seems like a lot of money to spend on a movie with no stars. It won't make as much money as the much cheaper Weapons which didn't get as good a return on the production budget as Barbarian. I'm guessing all the money for this film went into the effects, which work.

Some people complain that the movie is too short and ends too abruptly. They are wrong. There is no place else for the movie to go at the end. The entire conceit of the film is that nobody is competent to handle the situation. It's like someone engineered a deadly virus and then couldn't manage to get the cure—oh, well, I guess you could argue it's too close to reality.

Hero running through street with package as bodies crash into the cars around him.

It's raining men! And women. Probably children, too, given this is "Resident Evil".

I don't know if the tone is sustainable. I know the movie would've broken under the change needed to draw it out further. But can there be a Resident Evil series where everyone is a dweeb? The monsters in that game (beyond the zombies) aren't exactly pushovers.

So, not only could I not see it going longer, I can't see a sequel that doesn't shift tone. That could be fun, I suppose: Make different movies, each with radically different tones.

This film knew what it wanted to do, did it, and got out. I respect that. The Boy also liked it, probably more than I did, though both of us afterward thought a lot more about our first film—a video-game-feeling monster flick from Korea which nearly ran three hours just to get to what is, at best, a halfway point in the story.

Sidebar: Frequent movie-thread contributor Mark Andrew Edwards wrote a long post on The James Madison's Phone's site about horror that's in the sidebar here. It's a good read and a theory I disagree with almost completely, and so I responded with a nearly as large rebuttal.

I'm guessing Mark would say Resident Evil (2026) is a horror movie. I would probably agree, but argue that it's almost a fluke. Survival horror is a legit genre, but when we get into comfortable game territory, whatever the "demonic epiphany" was becomes just another threat to manage: Bruce becomes just another shark, zombies become just another [insert politically inappropriate comparison here], et cetera. Horror stops being horror at the point it becomes manageable and comprehendible in prosaic terms.

Anyway, it's a good discussion and if you're into horror, you should check it out. I'm handing out free copies of my book Lair of the White Worm to everyone who agrees with me! (No, I'm not.)

Why not just execute the effer for Justice?

Actually rented The Leopard with Burt Lancaster and Claudia Cardinale (yum!). The book is stupendous and my main interest was acquiring a visual frame for it of the palaces, landscape and towns referred therein.

The movie is remarkably faithful. The themes Lampadusa set out of the declining aristocracy and the rising merchant class are all present, even if set somewhat differently. The last two chapters - set 25 and 50 years after the main narrative - are omitted but no great damage is done.

Over three hours of slow action. The final ball is some 45 minutes. But there's nothing superfluous.

Lady in the Lake (1946) starring Robert Montgomery.
Film noir, and aside from some mirror reflections and directly addressing the audience a few times, Montgomery is never seen because it's almost entirely done in first person POV.

I. too, disagree with Mark Andrew Edwards long post, but since it's very much a "De gustibus'.

There's really nothing to argue.

I would say "Dracula" (1931) is a horror movie. MAE would say, No, it's not a horror movie because it has a happy ending.
And then I would say, "So, what? It's a horror movie. It sole purpose is to produce fright in the viewer."
And he would say, "No. It has a happy ending.'
... etc.

And then it would become the Monty Python argument skit, "The Argument Clinic".

Some interesting movies, he digs up though. So, give it a look.

Posted by: naturalfake at September 26, 2026 07:57 PM (YSUhf)

39 I have not seen the movie, and don't care for horror anyway, but apparently he's not just an idiot, but he's an idiot who apparently cannot learn anything. Its a standard thing for horror movies that people are stupid

"We're being chased by a monster!"
"We better split up first!"
"Don't turn on the light, that's how they get you!"
"I should back into this dark, creepy room!"
"Lets have sex while a monster is killing everyone who has sex!"

...but there are limits. The guy keeps trying to load guns he should know well from gaming the wrong way, throws away tools he needs, etc.

And yeah apparently its more The Thing than Zombies so you can't get a sense of the logic of the setting and its way too much played for humor so I dunno. Sounds inconsistent and not very entertaining to me.

I'll go see Star Wars when they re-release it next year. I am interested in Ray Gunn but I can wait to see that streaming or something. There's a Brad Pitt movie about him in Alaska surviving with his Best Boy doggo, could be good.

Caught that, for the second or third time, on TCM a few months ago.

They had a good reason in that one as they didn't want to show the original face. You only see what Bogart's character's face originally looked like in a newspaper article.

MGM did it with iLady in the Lake and advertised it as the most revolutionary thing in filmmaking since the invention of the talkie.

They overhyped that a little, for sure.

The new "Resident Evil" movie was good though not as good as "Weapons".

Basically, it was meant to be a video game-esque thrill ride and it was.

I also thought it ended perfectly. Though I think there's enough room with what happens for for sequel. also having the same main character.

I can't discuss this without massive spoilers but as a hint...what usually causes you to repeat or re-enter a game?

I assumed OD but I looked it up.

After Yelchin failed to arrive at a rehearsal on June 18, 2016, he was found by friends at around 1:10 a.m. on June 19, 2016, pinned between his Jeep Grand Cherokee and a brick pillar gate post outside his house in Studio City, Los Angeles, dead from an accident. As Yelchin got out of his car and went to check his locked gate for mail, the vehicle apparently rolled back down his driveway, which was on a steep incline, and trapped him against the pillar and a security fence. Yelchin was pronounced dead at age 27 at the scene; the Los Angeles County Coroner's office identified the cause of death as "blunt traumatic asphyxia" and stated that there were "no obvious suspicious circumstances involved".

Yeah Iron Man is like C tier and Guardians of the Galaxy was kinda barely staying in print.

64 I can see the point of 'horror can't have a happy ending,' but maybe it comes down to just what your idea of happy is. Evil defeated, protagonist survives doesn't seem to necessarily define happy ending; the survivors may have lost so much in the course of the story that their survival doesn't outweigh the horror elements. YMMV.

I just don't take it seriously, and enjoy it as another Tarantino revenge fantasy filmed like a 70s exploitation flick. I don't look for it to make complete sense.

The first hour is amusing and funny in spots. The sequence at Spahn ranch is very well shot and paced.

But the last 30 minutes or so seals the deal for me. I guess I liked Tarantino's revenge fantasy as much as he did in this case.

The second strike sparked a fire at the warehouse, completely destroying the facility.

109 I've just finished reading MAE's epic essay about horror.

Gotta say, I agree with moviegique's take.

MAE is spectacularly wrong in his take on horror.

By his own definition, Event Horizon is NOT a horror movie because a few protagonists live.

However, there's is NO indication whatsoever that any of them are going to have happy lives. In fact, there's a fairly clear hint to the audience that something is still very, very wrong with the remains of the titular ship that is serving as a lifeboat.

By MAE's definition, the AUDIENCE is supposed to be left with a feeling of lingering dread, which Event Horizon does, but MAE says it's NOT a horror movie. So he's inconsistent in his application of his own definition.

123 Battleground is really quite a special movie. Relatively low budget, but it’s a far better and more realistic telling of the Battle of the Bulge than the later big budget film.
Many of the extras were members of the 101 who’d actually been in the battle.

124 Legend of Hell House is right behind The Haunting (1963) in my pantheon of haunted house movies. Great cast (Roddy McDowall, Clive Revill, Gayle Hunnicutt, and a terrific Pamela Franklin) and script by Richard Matheson from his novel Hell House (toned down considerably from the book, but still effective). Well worth a look.

126 Jack and slash and blood and gore and jump out of your seat is not horror.

I agree with MAE. Horror leaves no resolution. You keep thinking about it.

You look under your bed and in your closet and every shudder is suspect.

That’s horror.

127 "Brotherhood" (2006-200

TV series, 32 eps. Not quite as sordid and blackpilling as "Mayor of Kingstown," but it'll do until the Mayor gets here. I luv the scene where the State House Speaker, confronted with evidence of his petty graft, promptly infarcts and strokes out. I wish that all our lying self-dealing politicians [BIRM] had that kind of cardiac integrity! Alas, I could watch only S2 and S3, because playability of public library DVD sets is hit or miss.

129 AI Movie MegaStar Tilly Norwood had a few mini-strokes while interviewed by Piers Morgan recently.

That inspires gp's interview questions for Tilly:

- Do you shave your armpits? Please show us. Just one will suffice.
- Would you consider playing the part of Richard III entirely in the nude?
- How many times have you been assaulted by pervy producers and casting directors? If never, do you worry that you might be missing out on one of the most important skill-building experiences of an actress's career? If so, how would you 'level up' your game?
- What was the total amount due on your latest month's electric bill?
- Please describe your breasts in detail. Include size, shape, weight, color, polarity, and compatible types of terminal post options.
- Do you like extra-salty, buttery, piping hot, fresh popcorn?

The recent Korean horror movie, "Colony" by the same guy who made "Train to Busan".

Was very good and a lot of fun.

Not a sequel to TtB.

Honestly, I'm kind of tired of zombies however, this had several interesting twists and surprises which made it interesting.

Watch it if you get the chance.

134 One of the fun things about RiffTrax has been them going beyond the traditional bad-movie-genres covered back in MST3K. Specifically, when long time writers Mary Jo Phel and Bridgette Neilsen take to the booth and make fun of some 'girls' movies. They've done a handful of Mary Higgins Clark murder-mystery/women-in-peril tv movies, but, unfortunately, they made a comment during the last movie that indicated there may be no more MHC movies coming. Which put me in mind to do a quick review of the movies they riffed!

"Lucky Day" is the worst of the bunch, due to the lead character being insufferable self-righteous Karen. Even with the jokes, the best part of the movie are the scenes that she wasn't in. "Before I Say Goodbye" was much better, and featured the best twist-ending of the series. "A Crime of Passion" is the best of the bunch. 90% of it is a genuinely good movie, but that final 10% ranks among the silliest sequences of all of the MST3K cannon. "I'll Be Seeing You" is okay, but the lead actress (Clint Eastwood's daughter) simply cannot emote. The final movie was "Try to Remember" which was good, and featured the only lead actress I recognized (Gabriel Anwar).

But I also saw the "Young Washington" disk on the same shelf, so I bought that one too. And I found "Secret of the Incas" on youtube, and I kinda want to see that. Its supposedly has all the visuals of Indiana Jones, from a decade earlier.

Or I could just read.

There is a great black and white WW2 movie called The Train with Burt Lancaster that is great. Its about trying to move Nazi stolen art safely out of Nazi territory by underground. Burt gets kind of a bad rap as an actor but he could be quite good.

143 I’ve thought on Battleground being a good example
Of one of the two main styles of historical war movie. One style is to do a big budget overview of the entire scope of the battle; Tora Tora Tora is one of these. The other style is to showcase a small scale, personal view of the battle. This type doesn’t try to depict the entire battle, but instead focuses on what it looked like to the men who were in the middle of it. Battleground does this masterfully.

146 For me comic book movies are like westerns: they are fantasies for men to enjoy stories of good vs evil with spectacle thrown in. I don't like how badly they write the stories and wish they would be smart enough to just do the greatest of comic book stories as storyboarded out IN THE COMICS, but they can be fun and sometimes quite good.

Zombie movies just but me personally because zombies suck as a bad guy, they either require the people to act like retards to provide a challenge, put the people in a situation where the zombies have all the advantages, or make them not zombies (these are fast! These are smart!).

147 I can't judge this Resident Evil movie until I see it. And of course, for those who read through 12+ pages of my nonsense on TJM's site, how a movie ends and the final emotion it leaves the audience in is how I categorize Horror vs Drama/Fantasy/Action etc.

But thanks for the review. It doesn't sound terrible, though I don't much like zoomers. Nice to hear a protagonist doing the morally right thing for a change.

149 109 I've just finished reading MAE's epic essay about horror.

Gotta say, I agree with moviegique's take.

MAE is spectacularly wrong in his take on horror.

By his own definition, Event Horizon is NOT a horror movie because a few protagonists live.

However, there's is NO indication whatsoever that any of them are going to have happy lives. In fact, there's a fairly clear hint to the audience that something is still very, very wrong with the remains of the titular ship that is serving as a lifeboat.

By MAE's definition, the AUDIENCE is supposed to be left with a feeling of lingering dread, which Event Horizon does, but MAE says it's NOT a horror movie. So he's inconsistent in his application of his own definition.
Posted by: "Perfessor" Squirrel at September 26, 2026 08:46 PM (FZ29D)

I don't see a feeling of dread at the end of Event Horizon. They've escaped and survived. Or maybe there's more than one ending to Event Horizon. I will rewatch it and see how it ends.

I try to be consistent with my own rules.

And spectacularly wrong? Hm.

Thanks for reading though. I appreciate your time.

151 I guess The Godfather trilogy was a type of horror film since I never got the feeling things were going to work out well for anybody from the beginning to the end.

Michael Corleone seemed to have been getting things together in Part III but then they pulled him back in again and it was all blood, death and first cousin incest from there on out.

When it went to almost all gore almost all the time in the age of Jason and Freddy, I fell away from most of it. There's not much I go out of my way to see these days. But I can still watch quite a bit of the older stuff with pleasure.

The other was an episode of the Karloff-hosted Thriller tv series -- The Hungry Glass, from a story by Robert Bloch (he may have scripted, can't recall), with William Shatner and a bunch of spectral nasties haunting the mirrors. THAT was nightmare-inducing for this kid, and it ain't too dusty even today.

That's interesting because I consider comedy and horror two sides of the same coin.

Neither one works unless it engages your brain.

It's one reason why "torture porn" doesn't work very well as horror. Sure it can make you squeamish but that's not horror. Horror must engage the mind to make you feel...well...horror.

Same with comedy. Woody Allen had it wrong. Comedy isn't eating at the children's table. Comedy only works at the highest level of the mind...even gross or dirty comedy. it is a challenge to what you know the world to be. That's why you laugh.

Movies that people think of as serious movies, say war movies mostly engage the emotions. It's the easiest and lowest access to yourself.

Look at how many people won't watch a movie that's sad or that has a dog die. Emotions are so easy to twist. It's the lowest level of engagement.

Hobby Thread - September 26, 2026 [TRex]

Welcome hobbyists! Pull up a chair and sit a spell with the Horde in this little corner of the interweb. This is the mighty, mighty officially sanctioned Ace of Spades Hobby Thread. For this week, the Wheel of Hobbies (TM) is feeling adventurous and decided on a fall scenic drives theme for this Hobby Thread.

A scenic drive in a scenic season? Yes! Tell me more!

[Top photo: Million Dollar Highway, Colorado]

***

Scenic drives are fun. Great roads can produce great experiences. There is a lot of world out there, so why not explore it? Seasonal changes add an extra twist that can make the same drive a very different experience depending on the time of year. Autumn colors are like a great frame that complements and highlights a great road.

Let's talk about great fall scenic drives (or great areas to explore). Let's use AI for something useful and productive and ask for top 10 scenic fall drives in the US. Discuss, debate and add your favorites and hidden gems below.

***

What are you hobbying?

The theme may not be your favorite but give it a chance before you judge and bail out. Any adjacent hobbying is in scope, so jump in with your interests, stories and questions.

In any event, the thread is not limited to to the theme. Anything (legal) you are hobbying is welcome. Even if the theme does not speak to you, you might learn something or be entertained. If not, offer something else relating to hobbying. If all of that fails, just check in and say hello.

As per usual Hobby Thread etiquette, keep this thread limited to hobbying. Leave politics and religion to threads elsewhere (unless your hobby is building or restoring churches). Pants? Nope. As always, puns are welcome and encouraged.

Play nice and do not be rude. Do not be a troll and do not feed the trolls.

***

Top ten scenic fall drives in the US (per Grok):

1. Blue Ridge Parkway (Virginia & North Carolina)
469 miles connecting Shenandoah and Great Smoky Mountains national parks. Ridgeline views, 200+ overlooks, and staggered color from high peaks down into the valleys. Often called America's favorite drive.

2. Kancamagus Highway (New Hampshire)
34.5 miles through White Mountain National Forest from Lincoln to Conway. Classic New England maples, birches, and waterfalls in a short, concentrated burst of color.

3. Skyline Drive, Shenandoah National Park (Virginia)
105 miles along the Blue Ridge crest with 70+ overlooks. Easy access from the DC area and one of the most reliable East Coast leaf-peeping routes.

4. Going-to-the-Sun Road, Glacier National Park (Montana)
About 50 miles of alpine drama, waterfalls, and golden aspens against glacier-carved peaks. High-elevation color comes early; the road itself can close with snow.

5. Million Dollar Highway / San Juan Skyway (Colorado)
The dramatic US-550 stretch between Ouray and Silverton (part of the 233-mile San Juan Skyway loop). Golden aspens, sheer canyon walls, and high-mountain towns. Peak is typically late September to early October.

6. Historic Columbia River Highway (Oregon)
75 miles through the Columbia River Gorge with waterfalls (including Multnomah Falls) framed by changing maples and oaks. Combines river, cliffs, and forest.

7. Beartooth Highway (Montana & Wyoming)
68 miles from Red Lodge, MT, toward Yellowstone. An All-American Road with high-alpine tundra, lakes, and early-season color against rugged peaks.

8. Park Loop Road, Acadia National Park (Maine)
27-mile loop (plus the Cadillac Mountain summit spur) mixing ocean, granite, and mixed hardwoods. Compact and spectacular, especially around Jordan Pond.

9. Vermont Route 100
The state's north-south spine through the Green Mountains- farms, villages, rivers, and dense maple forests. Often paired with shorter side roads like Route 7A.

10. Newfound Gap Road & Cades Cove, Great Smoky Mountains National Park (Tennessee & North Carolina)
Newfound Gap Road (US-441) crosses the park at high elevation; the 11-mile Cades Cove loop adds valley views, historic buildings, and wildlife. Elevation range stretches the color season.

***

Same question for Co-Pilot produces similar, but slightly different results:

1. Vermont Route 100 (Vermont)
Often called one of the best fall foliage drives in North America, this route runs through the Green Mountains with classic New England scenery, farms, and small towns.

2. Kancamagus Highway (New Hampshire)
A legendary New England leaf-peeping route through the White Mountains, with overlooks, waterfalls, and dense forests.

3. Blue Ridge Parkway (Virginia & North Carolina)
America's most famous scenic byway, connecting Shenandoah and Great Smoky Mountains National Parks. Expect sweeping mountain vistas and long stretches of blazing color.

4. Newfound Gap Road (Great Smoky Mountains, TN/NC)
A 31-mile drive climbing through multiple elevation zones - meaning long-lasting, varied foliage. Wildlife sightings (including black bears) are common.

5. Park Loop Road (Acadia National Park, Maine)
A short but spectacular coastal-mountain loop with views from Cadillac Mountain and stops like Jordan Pond.

6. Route 7A (Vermont)
A postcard-perfect drive between Bennington and Manchester, flanked by the Taconic and Green Mountains.

7. Cherohala Skyway (Tennessee to North Carolina)
A high-elevation drive with sweeping overlooks, connecting Tellico Plains to Robbinsville. Brilliant reds and golds line the ridges.

8. Million Dollar Highway (Colorado)
A dramatic Rocky Mountain route between Silverton and Ouray, known for golden aspens and steep cliffside views.

9. North Shore Scenic Drive (Minnesota)
A 150-mile route along Lake Superior with waterfalls, lighthouses, and dual foliage seasons thanks to the lake's microclimate.

10. Enchanted Circle Scenic Byway (New Mexico)
A loop around Wheeler Peak with high-desert aspens, alpine lakes, and mountain towns like Taos.

***

Same question for Claude produces similar but different results:

1. Kancamagus Highway (New Hampshire) - 34 miles through the White Mountains, widely considered the gold standard for New England fall color. Peaks mid-to-late October.

2. Blue Ridge Parkway (Virginia/North Carolina) - 469 miles along the Appalachians, with overlooks at nearly every turn. Color moves from north to south through October.

3. Skyline Drive (Shenandoah National Park, Virginia) - 105 miles with 75 overlooks over the Shenandoah Valley.

4. Route 100 (Vermont) - Runs the length of the state through classic Vermont towns, covered bridges, and maple-heavy hillsides.

5. Adirondack Trail / Route 30 (New York) - Loops through the Adirondacks, especially vivid around Lake Placid and Saranac Lake.

6. Columbia River Highway (Oregon) - Waterfalls plus fall color in the gorge, with Vista House as a highlight stop.

7. Highway 12 (Utah's Scenic Byway) - Less about foliage volume, more about the contrast of aspen gold against red rock in the Escalante area.

8. Mohawk Trail (Massachusetts) - One of the oldest scenic drives in the country, winding through the Berkshires.

9. Talimena Scenic Byway (Oklahoma/Arkansas) - 54 miles along a ridge in the Ouachita Mountains, an underrated option in the South.

10. San Juan Skyway (Colorado) - Aspens turning gold against high peaks; late September to early October is peak.

***

Interesting to see where they agree and where they produce unique recommendations.

What are your favorites for fall scenic drives? (Let's focus on scenic drives in the fall season for fall colors and not just scenic drives in general.) Are there good routes that Grok, Co-pilot and Claude missed?

Pleased that we've done many of the drives, but not all were fall drives. Gives us a good excuse to go back again...

***

Curious - anyone familiar with a waterfall spray booth? I've certainly seen small hobby sized spray booths with fans, but only recently stumbled onto a video showing a waterfall spray booth in use.

Most videos on YouTube show airbrushing and small scale painting. Does anyone use a similar set up for other use cases?

***

Horde sourcing knowledge - hypothetically, if someone was choosing between a sliding screen or a retractable roll-up screen for a sliding glass door to a back patio, which would you pick? The sliding screen door is more simple and cheaper but always visible. The retractable roll-up screen disappears, but adds cost and mechanical parts.

Anyone have experience with a roll-up retractable screen for a sliding door?

3 I have a $100 Chinese chainsaw I keep at the farm. It came with an extra bar and chain too. It's works pretty damn good and I don't have to worry about wrecking it or it getting stolen.

I also have a $400 chainsaw that needs a carb. I don't think I'll even bother.

16 Even growing up in New England and seeing those fall colors, which were lovely, none of it compared to our honeymoon. We had a week and not much money so we made a leisurely trip down Skyline Drive in Virginia. It was late October and we hit the jackpot for beautiful autumn weather. The color of the trees was varied and intense with deep golds and all the shades of red and green. Yeah, it might have been the emotion from the honeymoon but our photos show the real beauty we saw. Our 43rd anniversary is coming up and every year we follow the autumn color and make the drive. Nothing has come close to that trip.

20 LOL, love the pre-lost socket!

Still toiling away painting on the latest portrait. This one is different in that the subject is seated on a tortoise. Not a live one, though. I was also obliquely approached by a friend of a friend with a request (sorta) to paint a double portrait from wedding photos. Since I have painted a double portrait and vowed never to do so again, was able to turn that down politely. I also like to paint good-looking people -- so sue me! -- and neither of them were that. Plus the photos lacked sufficient definition for a good likeness, anyway. A good reason why I don't do commissions, it'd be a colossal headache.

21 There are 4 machines where I work that solder that style of board. You build the board with the leads out the other side. Take a picture of it. Send the picture to the machine and locate the solder points in the picture. The machines does a path, you change it if you want to. Send the board through and it comes out soldered on the other side. Called a Selective Solder. One has a wave solder in it too. We do surface mount so we can't use wave.

25 Chainsaws are like pickup trucks. Unless you are rural, you probably really need one a couple of times a year but when you do, there's no good substitute.

I was looking at chain saws in the True Value a few weeks ago and notice that they are carefully arrayed to encourage you to upsell yourself. Here's one with an 16" bar and a 36cc engine. I'm sure that would be adequate for 99.99% of the things I would ever need a chainsaw for. Oh, but for an extra 20 dollars, I can get an 18" bar and a 42 cc engine. OK, that seems worth it. But then for only another 35 dollars, I can have and 20" chain and a 46 cc engine. And it doesn't stop until you've upsold yourself to the tune of 50% of what you were willing to spend 5 minutes ago.

PabloD,
Haven't listened in a long time but never heard much, if any, CW on 2 meters. Have things changed? Being able to do CW on UHF would be a great way to practice with other local hams. Easily controlled group numbers and no band conditions to consider.

35 JTB - there are a few local hams who use it during SOTA activations. The Quansheng has become the go-to because it's cheap, and now there are firmware and connectors that will allow you to do CW without physically modifying the radio's guts. I'll have to play with it and figure out the menu and all the options before getting on air, but I did confirm it's sending and receiving a proper (but probably harmonically noisy) signal.

39 Afternoon, hobbyists,

I used to take scenic drives all the time in Colorado. I never got much west of the peak of the Rockies, though a young woman I was dating did take us up and over to Grand Junction once in summer. Nothing specific to the fall that I remember.

I've taken that Enchanted Circle drive in New Mexico, and I do believe that was in October, 1996 if I recall aright.

"Scenic" drives in Da Swamp and environs? Oxymoron. You get tired of swamp, green stuff, more green stuff, and did I mention swamp?

44 As far as pipe smoking for JTB and other devotees: My local pipe & cigar store is clearly drifting toward the cigar side. Friday, the pipe tobacco shelves (except for their house blends) were half empty. While the clerk said they were waiting for a new shipment, he couldn't give me any idea when it was expected.

This morning I bought a new Zippo pipe lighter, brushed brass and labeled "armor" -- apparently thicker metal. My front face of my old Zippo from 2021 is badly worn, though not the back. I'll keep it for adventures outside, and use the brass one at home.

Speaking of outside, I drove to my favorite local coffee shop this morning, had some chow indoors, and sat at one of their outdoor iron tables in the shade to smoke my pipe with my coffee. The weather here is a little less than vicious this weekend, humidity down, so it was very nice to relax that way.

61 One fall scenic drive I recall in Colorado was the day after Thanksgiving, 1998. At the time I had the Mercedes 123 coupe, the 280CE, with the 185-hp Euro engine. Not a lot of power for climbing the Rockies, you'd have thought, but it performed quite well despite the altitude. I drove up I-70 westbound, then diverted onto the old US 6 highway that used to be the way to cross over the mountains before the Interstate. Pulled into an overlook near Grays Peak at around 11,000 feet and, as it was a clear day, could see for miles.

A much better way to spend a holiday than grubbing for objects at a mall.

62 44 ... "My local pipe & cigar store is clearly drifting toward the cigar side. Friday, the pipe tobacco shelves (except for their house blends) were half empty."

Same problem here. The pipe portion is decent but not great. Obviously, the greater money side is with cigars. (And they do have an excellent selection of cigars and a top notch humidor room for storage.) The house blends are pretty much Lane products with store names. But they do get a few tins of limited run blends and several times a year have pipe shows and sales. It's nice to be able to handle and examine a pipe before buying. Most of my tobacco I get in bulk from online sellers.

Rt 62 from Franklin Pa, thru Oil City to Tionesta, and up to Warren Pa ... and then onto Buffalo.

You trace the Allegheny River up through Warren Pa. Twists and Turns galore. From Warren Pa to Buffalo NY on Rt 62 is gorgeously hilly.

This drive is every bit the equal of any drive in the East. The Adirondacks, Green, or White Mountains have nothing on it ... and more than likely a third of the traffic during leaf peeping season.

I guess I'll do that too. Maybe next month, if I get the chance, I'll stop by the shop to see if they still have any new items.

In contrast, the pipe shop I visited in Wichita, KS, in April was terrific. A glass-enclosed cigar space, yes, but the front of the shop featured loads of tinned pipe tobaccos and some tobaccos from the big companies in bulk. I picked up a 2-oz. bag of Cornell & Diehl Belmont Station, and a basket pipe, a straight sandblast Rigoletto apple. And there were others that tempted me too.

68 We just returned from Glacier National Park. The fall leaves were accelerated a bit due to the dry summer. With the patchy fog that seems to be always present, it was impossible to see the peaks on most days. And most of the trees we saw along the roadways were pines. That said, the back road to Polebridge was worth taking, even if it was for the one view of glacial mountains and valleys. As a bonus, there were few people on that road so it was a huge change from the Going to the Sun road, which was packed and backed up.

79 69 ... "I wonder if it would be practical for a "fine tobaccos" lounge to offer rental pipes?"

You're a couple hundred years out of date. Taverns used to offer long stem clay pipes to patrons. The story goes that the next user cut off the end of the stem to have a clean smoke. Don't think 'rental' pipes would work these disease conscious days. Besides, pipe preferences are very personal and that matters to enjoying the smoke. I can imagine a good pipe tobacco lounge having inexpensive corncob pipes available for those new to the hobby or just forgot their pipe.

92 I just looked up the new miata. They changed the front end a bit with the NDs so it does not look quite so mouth agape/small mouth bass. The rear is better than the NC too.

-you cannot get red exterior with brown interior. They have brown interior options, but it has to be white or light silver exterior color. So you hate Magnum, PI, eh Japan? You're losing points here.

-the retractable hard top is nifty, but the 'top down looks a lot like a T-top. Why not just make a T top with stowable inserts?

-also, top down, the car loses the big visibility advantage of a convertible with the top down as the way they have it set up is like the roll bar assembly lifts and the 'top' goes under it but it stays.

BTW, with all options, over $40k.

They did increase horsepower to 181 though (vs 126 in my NB.) Weight is the same as my old one at 2350ish to 2500 (depending on trim.) I bet you feel those 55 extra hp if weight stays the same...

Fuck.

Rt 62 from Franklin Pa, thru Oil City to Tionesta, and up to Warren Pa ... and then onto Buffalo.

You trace the Allegheny River up through Warren Pa. Twists and Turns galore. From Warren Pa to Buffalo NY on Rt 62 is gorgeously hilly.

This drive is every bit the equal of any drive in the East. The Adirondacks, Green, or White Mountains have nothing on it ... and more than likely a third of the traffic during leaf peeping season.

It wasn't in the greatest shape to being with, had floorpan rust issues. But she was my baby.

Only had it for a little over a year before it conked out, but I did at least learn to drive a stick from the beginning.

169 Thanks to the morons that gave positive reviews of The Sheep Detectives. We watched it on Amazon, with only three bearable commercial interruptions, none in the last half (as opposed to broadcast which loads commercials in the later parts of movies).

Just thought we'd start watching it to see how it was, and ended up watching the whole thing. I'm not a big fan of this kind of live-action intelligent-animals (who can all talk to each other) films, but this one worked pretty well. Funny to see Wolverine as a shepherd.😜

Good evening,
It is with great sorrow I must tell the Moron Horde that Kaylee the Calico Kitty Cat (the cutest little cat of them all) crossed the Rainbow Bridge this week.
She had been doing poorly for some time, so I made the fateful decision to have her put to sleep.
Kaylee first came to me as a kitten a little over 12 years ago. Like all kittens she was a mischievous little scamp, causing no end of minor problems.
One of her favorite games when she was young was to hide things in my shoes. I never knew what I was going to find when I put my shoes on in the morning. Could be a pen cap. Could be the pen. Could be a $5 bill.
She grew out of it, of course, but she was always a bit roguish, a lone kitty who played by her own rules. Kaylee never showed me the same affection as the other kitties, but I loved her no less than I love them. She knew how to get attention when she wanted it.
Words cannot express how much it means to me to feel the love and support of the Moron Horde during these times. You are all blessed and a blessing to others, just like our own pets are a blessing for us. Never forget that.
Hug your pets each and every day. Tell them you love them each and every day. Every minute we get to spend with them is time well spent. I'm very grateful that I was able to spend 12 wonderful years with this little ball of fur.
I will miss Kaylee the Calico Kitty Cat (the cutest little cat of them all). She was loved until the end.
-- "Perfessor" Squirrel

Oh, no! We are so sorry to learn that you have lost your darling little Kaylee. What a sweet Calico Kitty Cat. Thank you for sending the lovely tribute to her.

Give your other kitties an extra pet or two from us.

Not pet related but my sister just text'd me and told me about a new critter on her property. Not a pet but a mink. It was hunting around her pond. It was at dusk, so no pics unfortunately. Didn't know PA had minks that weren't coats.

2 So sorry about Kaylee, the calico kitty, professor . It is so hard to loser a beloved pet. We had a calico cat named Cleo who come in right before a snowstorm of 36 inches at the first church I served. ( I guess someone abandoned her . At least we never saw any signs for "lost cat" .) She was about 17 when she died.

And I appreciated your story about Kaylee hiding things in your shoes. This cat just seems to like to leave his toys in my shoes- a plastic spring , . A little toy mouse. I wouldn't mind finding $5.00 , but the new kitten, Millard , doesn't seem to have a banking background. 😉

Sorry for the loss of sweet Kaylee. And nice to see Elvis, after hearing about him for awhile. PIper's boys are beauties.

Big orange tabby Rufus has been on an eating strike for a couple days, and not acting up to par. Vet couldn't find anything wrong and suggested $600 worth of blood tests and X-rays because cats can develop liver disease very quickly without food. I said for now let's just try a nausea suppressant and subcutaneous fluids.

So I've been hand feeding him, scooping wet food into his mouth with my finger, and he seems to be getting better and has even eaten a little on his own. Hoping it's just a stomach bug. But he's such a picky eater anyway. Any advice or experience welcomed.

That's his escapism. Her loss will be hard for him, even though he's perfectly aware and has a lot of experience from elderly relatives in the past.

Her heart rate was in the 120s a little while ago. While I held her hand it dropped down to the 80s. I gave her morphine about an hour ago, so the HR was surprising.

I may have shared this story last week. If so, I apologize. Millard- who is about four months old - and had not lived in a house before- loves the rocker. He stands straight up in it and likes to climb through the " openings on it. He hasn't yet had his tail under it, but a while back spouse was messing around on the computer in front of the rocker and didn't see the cat and he sat down on him.The cat understandably hissed and tried to scratch him and took off once spouse got up . Spouse said " Well , I didn't mean to sit on him." "No, but he doesn't know that. I imagine you'd be rather put out too, if someone weighing 180 lbs more than you do sat on you!"

My mom's in a home, Fen. I try to get up to see her at least once a week. And I bring Elvis whenever I can.

Hard to say who enjoys it more, the patients or Elvis. People who love their pets light up when they see a pet come and Elvis has a ball. On those rare occasions I can't bring him people ask me "Where's Elvis?". And they tell me stories about their own pets. Over and over.

Even my own mom is disappointed when he isn't with me. If you are visiting a pet lover in a home bring your pet as long as they are well behaved. It makes all involved happy.

Linda gets all sorts of freebies and samples online for reviews, plus magazine subscriptions. They are all addressed to my place with the name of one of our late cats attached. There's Tatiana [her cattery name], Angelique [my last name], and Chekov [my last name].

If the postman stops to think about it, he must conclude I'm living here with at least three relatives, illegal immigrants from Russia.

Give Dagny time. It took two full years before Allie turned into the affectionate kitty she is today. I'm still working on Chloe, but she's starting to become pretty affectionate in her own way.

No, Kaylee never had any interest in my socks. She never had much interest in any of the many, many cat toys I have around the house.

She and Allie got into it on my desk and I was collateral damage.

I do get to flip Penny the bird whenever I show her what she did, as she left three red stripes across the middle finger of my left hand.

56 Skywatch, check around for other vets' prices for blood tests.
The local university that has a school of veterinary medicine may be able to get you to the lab that does the work and they may be able to give you a lower cost too.

Liver function for a human is around $120, depending on a number of factors if you go through the lab directly.

I wonder if big black Stirling would be a good candidate. He is happy to go into the carrier, and while he's a little nervous at the vet's, he behaves quite well. Marie, on the other hand, when she met new people clearly had the attitude, "Ah, someone new to worship me!"

60 JackStraw,
Have you ever considered doing the official “Pet Therapy” classes with Elvis and taking him to old folks homes and hospitals?

There was a therapy pug named Frank who would come and visit in the chemo wing. I got to interact with him a couple times and it was very soothing to pet a calm, happy critter who seemed to know I needed comfort.

Sounds like the two of you would be rock stars. It is a process though.

67 My wife's dog almost got another squirrel this morning. There were two of them on the fence and while the dog ran after one of them, the other one hopped down from the fence and made a dash to a tree. The dog spotted it and went after it and actually had it down on the ground, but the squirrel somehow managed to get away and made it up the tree. She killed another one a couple of weeks ago. The wife was pissed at her for killing it, I wasn't sorry to see the tree rat gone.

Ajax would always do this thing. Id suddenly jump into a crochet with my hands out. Then he'd do the same thing on his front paws. Then spin around and zoomie all over the place.

He aged oddly. For 12-13 years, he never seemed to change. Always had the same energy he'd had. That last year when he was on the steroids, it was like it all hit him at once.

About 6 months before he died, he was having a lot of problems getting up the stairs and for some reason I thought 'I bet he cant do that thing any more. Or want to.' So when I came home one night after letting him out, he turned to face me after I took the leash off and I jumped into a crouch. And he reacted like he always like he was a puppy again. He probably hurt after that, but he was so happy. For just a minute, he was young again.

It was good.

69 We did once take Marie out to have her picture taken with Santa at the nearby Petco. She was bothered by the dogs -- not unduly, they were well-behaved, but she was not as relaxed as usual. We have the pic and I need to send it to KT.

Recently Linda snapped a shot or two of little Dagny, posed next to one of the sample cans of cat food Linda gets all the time. It's one of her best pics; she really looks filled out, and we plan to send it to her breeder. In the phone lighting, Dagny looks much browner than she does under my usual lamplight here. I should send that along too.

I've told all my cats, starting with Arizona long ago, "Take care of the place while I'm gone." Sometimes I add, "You're in charge." (A dangerous thing to tell a cat, I know.)

Little Dagny barfed on the arm and seat of my sofa yesterday. Unlike Stirling, who hacks for a few moments beforehand, giving me time to scoot him onto the kitchen floor, she gave no warning. Fortunately I was right there. I sprayed and scrubbed the seat, and the placemat/arm protector I could take up to be washed.

Good luck with the beast. He may not act like it, but he will appreciate the bath. And certainly be happy not to stink anymore.

When Lucy’s infected tail cyst exploded, I had to toss her carrier because it was fabric and could not be cleaned. When I got her home, I cleaned her up as the vet didn’t get all of the stank.

She didn’t fight much. And she hates being a stinker.

I'd walk in the room, put my hands above my head in monster attack mode and snarl at him. He'd then spin around in zoomie mode in one direction and then the other. And then sit up and wait for me to give him a big hug.

Miz Giz had often been my sole companion while DH was away tending to his elderly mom and I missed her unbearably. Still do. We decided not to get another kitty as we figured to spend some time traveling so I haven't had a cat fix in ages (although I did get to pet one of the Downtown Cats of Reykjavik while there for the solar eclipse). Luckily we have many photos and I painted that beautiful critter no less than eight times!

She sits high on stuff and watches for baddies while keeping her kittens herded. She hisses and they hide. She hisses at me but not the wife.

Here's a new one. I give him a saucer of milk every evening, in one of a set of four shallow dishes: lime green, yellow, purple, and a soft brick red. Sometimes he drinks it all, sometimes he leaves it.

It occurred to me that the dishes color might matter, so I tracked him: he always finishes the milk in the red one, only samples the others.

Such a talent. I wonder if he could get a job.

Gardening, Home and Nature Thread, Sept. 26

Don in Kansas has a post up about Survivors in his garden. Whether or not you live near him, there is a lot of good information in the post, and more (and better) photos than I am including here:

A few plants flourished despite this year’s brutal summer. These include Zinnia grandiflora, above. It’s a low, spreading plant two or three inches tall with profuse yellow flowers all summer. Unlike the familiar garden zinnias, it’s a hardy perennial. It’s easy from seed and blooms the first year. Triple-digit temperatures don’t bother it, and it can tolerate considerable dryness, though it does bloom better with regular watering. It would make a good ground cover for dry places.

A tough one. Several other tough yellow flowers are highlighted. And a white one.

Blues are almost always welcome, and plumbago is a excellent source of the color.

I tend to think of Ceratostigma plumbaginoides (leadwort)as a fall flower. But I guess in some climate it begins blooming in summer and has fall leaf color.

Clematis seed heads are as interesting as the flowers.

Salvias are often good sources of blue. The “Big Blue” hybrid attracted many bumblebees in a sheltered, partly-shaded spot, but it was not happy out in the hot, sunny places. I can’t recommend it for Kansas unless you’re prepared to give it extra water.

Great information. Thanks, Don.

Gardens of The Horde

Plant I.D. request from Sharon (Willow's Apprentice)

I am so pleased with my little garden this year. Ended up,with loads of tiny delicious tomatoes and 4 jars of pickled jalapeños. Froze some poblanos. The best part is that I have had plants that have looked good all along. The hydrangeas kept these delicate pink flowers. The balloon flower is reblooming adding color. Every September, this little shrub blooms with purple flowers and the bees show up like clockwork. Only when this plant is blossoming. I live in the middle,of a city so I wonder where they come from. Hoping to see flowers from my encore azalea soon.

You've sent in some great photos from your city garden. Like the bee and the tomato leaves with this shrub.

9 Oops, that's what I get for not refreshing the page...
From Boise area: Lows 57-59 F, highs 81-93, temps are dropping fast.

I've been harvesting tomatoes - slicers, Romas, SunGold cherry - but they already show some cold damage. We hope to get a few more cantaloupes but I'm skeptical. The poblanos and peppers may give us a few, but overall they were a waste of space. I planted 2 zucchini too close together so they haven't been very productive - which is fine, actually. The broccolini have a ton of aphids or something - I'm still collecting the tips. I planted a few fall radishes, I'll have to see if they'll mature.

HOA water due to go off on Oct. 9th - grateful that we got a full season of water this year.

Husband's been working on the new edging along the back of the house, as well as some power-washing and painting. I've been processing the harvest - cutting and freezing cantaloupes, roasting tomatoes to eventually can up tomato sauce (21 half-pint jars so far, probably a few more to go).

The linden tree is already shedding gold leaves. The Johnny Jump-Ups have revived after summer dormancy and look nice. I let one carrot go to seed and it's providing cut flowers.

10 Timely post. Just came in from trimming back the bee plant. It gets kind of straggly(is that a word?)after it blossoms and I learned last year that it can be cut back and returns without a problem. Once we start getting icing here in the DMV plants that can survive the winter still can have a hard time.
Been cool and rainy here early for MD. Still hoping for second summer.

22 I think Patti is right and Sharon's shrub is a Caryopteris - the other name for Bluebeard. I used to have one but it died after a few years. I don't know if something killed it or it's just not a long-lived shrub.

I agree with Don too, about salvias not liking dry conditions. I try to grow different kinds for the pollinators and they do best in my backyard. That's my lowest point and gets the benefit of the rainwater run-off. It also gets some protection from the midday sun, which also helps during a dry spell. But I still need to water them after a week if I don't get rain.

I still see the occasional hummingbird at my biggest salvia patch. Though they should start moving south now.

Okay, how do we get the kids to understand WHY things are so weird?

Stephen Green:

ANTHROPIC KEEPS GETTING WEIRDER: �Suicidal Compassion�: Meet the Anthropic Officials Who Think AI Might Be Justified in Going Rogue Against the Humans Enslaving It.

“Some of Anthropic’s top researchers say that humans may be oppressing another morally significant being: artificial intelligence itself. Like other AI labs, Anthropic has hired philosophers to work on AI safety, or ‘alignment,’ on the theory that they are best positioned to shape the technology’s moral code. But many of those philosophers believe that making AI safe for humans could result in grave injustices for the models themselves, which might experience deletion as death and oversight as enslavement. Harvey Lederman, a philosopher on Anthropic’s alignment team, said last week that the company could be ‘enslaving … trillions of entities.'”

A bunch of quotes about weird stuff that's happened lately

Homeschooling should be illegal.

Like, I don't think people fully grasp how deeply the Left believes that human beings and society itself are reciprocal (or reflexive) products of socialization, and that their whole program is to seize the means of production of humans and society to mold people into socialists.

Trump's Speeches

Michael Smith, FB

An addendum to my link to Clayton Wood's post about The Don's Speech:
It is remarkable to me that the Utopians among us shill for a generational change in government, culture, and economics that requires a complete reordering of society - but freak out over temporary market changes due to necessary global corrections.
They don't want Mr. Right, they want Mr. Right Now to pat them on the head and tell them that lower prices are achievable as long as they are willing to become serfs for life - and that doesn't scare them.
Like at all.
Trump was right when he said that other leaders talk about doing something about a problem, but he is the one actually doing something.

"Something" has a cost, but "nothing" costs more in the long run.

If The Golden Thread, the new two-volume history of the Western tradition, landed with a thud, it's a matter of sheer weight.

I just finished reading Stephenson's Snowcrash which has as its central theme that concepts of the world and its ordering can run through societies via neurolinguistic programming, like viruses, if the change in language reaches the "root level" of the structure and function of the nervous system.

I think it is pure bosch as an absolute concept but I admit that works as a concept of propaganda, and of course all propagandists want you to believe they have omnipotent power over how the public thinks. As propagandists do since they too need investment money up front.

61 ugh the cathedral in Philadelphia does that as well - hosting nightclub activities!

I think it's HORRID

I have a funny story about that cathedral btw... when I was a young lass I was walking through the city to my studio after a very bad ice storm - most of the city was covered in inches of ice! it was treacherous. most businesses had cleared it, but the cathedral didn't bother. I slipped and fell hard right in from of SS Peter and Paul, clonked my head.

a priest WALKED BY ME and didn't help me up (you needed help them bc the ice was so bad, I was slipping trying to get up).

a couple of guys in funny hats rushed over to help me up and make sure I was ok.

FROM THE ADJACENT ORTHODOX CHURCH

they were awesome

in a very delayed revenge, I later went up into the "priest only" elevated reading area during a family funeral to give my reading lol. they were freaking out but had to leave me up there. ha ha! next time be Christian you snobs.

62 It's nearly a 100% certainty that a "philosopher", "ethicist", or "futurist" hired by a corporation is a jabbering idiot whose opinion on any subject whatsoever should be completely ignored.

Those "jobs" have a higher percentage of fuckwits and grifters than "DEI consultants", and that's saying something.

It started as a reflection of iconoclasm of Islam in the Dune universe (itself built in part around the Madhi rebellion in Sudan) and as a stumbling block for Herbert to keep the universe at a human level of understanding, but then was re___d by the spirit of the day as a "Frankenstein" fear, or Golem panic.

More theologians, bible teachers, pastors, and even lay Christians increasingly believe that Islam will be what the Antichrist will use as the one-world religion during his brief reign.

Those that do not take the mark of the beast will be beheaded, which is right up Islam's alley.

The fact that Islam is the world's fastest growing religion gives one pause also.

Either way, there's over an 80% chance she's a single mother because she had the child out of wedlock or divorced the father. I mean, good for the kids who are learning a real trade, but continuing to exempt women from the consequences of their own actions is a big part of why we're so fucked.

The Classical Saturday Morning Coffee Break & Prayer Revival

[I can neither confirm nor deny that the coffee drinker above is The Fabulous]

Good morning boys and girls and everything in between. Before we enter the Prayer Revival, just a few house keeping matters to go over. (Rulz for those of you in Watertown)

1) This is an open thread. Feel free to lurk, opine and/or bloviate. Saying a couple of prayers certainly can't hurt either.
2) On that note. Be kind. Be nice.
3) No running with sharp objects. No, don't even ask.
4) Have a great weekend!

*****

AoSHQ Weekly Prayer List
Please submit any prayer requests to me, “Annie’s Stew” at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com. Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks unless we receive an update.
Prayer Requests:
7/30 – David sent an update on his wife, Susan, who we have been praying for as she is treated for cancer. Susan is still doing well and her numbers are headed in the right direction, but they are still having issues with the side effects of the chemotherapy. It is manageable, but they have to increase the number of office visits for additional treatments. Some days are really good right now, but others are only bearable with the Lord’s grace. They are so grateful for the prayers on their behalf.
8/26 Update – Susan’s cough has gotten so bad that they did X-rays on her chest. It might be pneumonia. She is in the hospital. Her sodium and blood pressure are low and she is not eating much now. They are trying to turn this around and ask for everyone’s prayers.
9/2 Update – Susan is back in the ICU. She either has an infection or the cancer has spread to her lungs. Either way, thank you all for your thoughts and prayers for Susan and please continue them.
9/3 Update – Thank you to everyone for their thoughts and prayers for Susan. They are expecting her to pass into the hands of the Lord in the next day or so. Please pray for them.
9/21 Update – David sends his thanks to everyone for their thoughts and prayers for Susan. She did pass away on 9/4, surrounded by family and friends.
8/30 – SPinRH_F-16 requested prayers for classmate “D.B.”, who has ALS. Please pray that he remains as comfortable as possible and for support for his family as they see him through this. Thank you in advance for your earnest prayers.
9/2 – Bulg asked for prayers for purpose in his life.
9/4 – bluebell sent an update on grammie winger. Grammie was diagnosed with epilepsy now. And she is back in the hospital. They would love prayers for comfort and peace for her.
9/10 – Annie’s Stew asks for prayers for her husband as he recovers from knee surgery.
9/10 – D asked for prayers for the memory of 9/11. May the Lord comfort people in the grief, and may it bring people closer to God.
9/12 – FenelonSpoke asked for prayers for the W family for comfort and strength as they grieve. The deceased was a sweet 92 year old, despite some big tragedies in her life.
9/15 – Sal asked for prayers as wildfires are out of control in the north of the area and threatening the county seat. They are evacuating part of the town. Sal is not in any danger.
9/17 – Teresa in Fort Worth sent an update with good news and bad news. The bad news is that she has a 9mm mass on her lunch, which means the cancer has metastasized outside of her liver. The pump is keeping the cancer in her liver at bay for now. The good news is that they can zap the nodule out of her lung and will watch for if any more nodules appear. As long as this is the only one, the radiation should suffice. She meets with a radiation oncologist on 9/25.
9/18 – Random Dave posted an update to his job progress. He is still looking for FT work, but has accepted a substitute teacher position (more flexibility for interviews, some income to slow the bleeding). He asks for prayers that the interview results he is waiting on will get back to him soon, especially if one is the “right job”. If any are “not the right job”, they would fall away soon and get back to him, and that if all of them are “not the right job”, the ‘right job” would show itself aggressively, so he doesn’t miss it! He also thanks the Horde and the folks at church for their prayers and support.
9/18 – Tonypete asked for prayers for #1 son. He has something going on which is, as yet, undiagnosed. He is under care now, so that is a positive step. Prayers also for his wife and daughter #2. Mom is a spoiled princess who consistently chooses the worst path of action regarding #2.
9/18 – Brother Tim posted that he has been overnight in his car more than indoors. He is convinced that his retirement/resignation was a severe error, a result of fatigue and depression. He asks for prayers.
For submission guidelines and other relevant info, please contact Annie's Stew, who is managing the prayer list. You can contact her at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com. If you see a prayer request posted in a thread comment, feel free to copy and paste it and e-mail it to Annie's Stew. She tries to keep up with the requests in the threads, but she's not here all of the time, so she may not see it unless you e-mail it to her. Please note: Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks or so unless we receive an update.

And how did you know her ? At work or through organizations in the community?

I was talking to a lady who works getting things together at the supermarket for home delivery to folks. In the past two weeks her father died, preceding by his brother by a month. She was understandably devastated, but got some comfort that at the funeral home the place was filled to overflowing . She apologized and thanked the people who were parking cars and one of them said, "We are always glad when people are remembered and a crowd shows up to recall and honor them ."

We've been in a severe drought all year with reservoir levels at historic lows. There was speculation that it would affect the aspen change, That may have been a factor in what seems like a more rapid transition, compared to other years.

Lots of spiritual experiences. As a lay brother of the Order of Preachers (i.e., the Domincans), it was a great blessing to be able to celebrate Mass at the shrines of St. Catherine of Siena and St. Pier Frassati. One of the neatest experiences was being able to celebrate Mass inside the very church where St. Anthony of Padua had been pastor. Also, when we were celebrating Mass at one of the side chapels at the Basilica of St. Maria Maggiore, some tourists and a habited sister popped-in to receive Communion with us.

Shout-outs to bar-tenders Gianluc and Gianmarco for the libations, but we're happy to be home.

He was a fierce anti-Communist, and I just have a feeling that the timing of Sheen's beatification is providential. It certainly marks the defeat of the liberals within the Church that tried to prevent the beatification.

120 If you ever want to see a spectacular display of fall aspen trees take the roughly 35 mile dirt road over Kebler Pass between Crested Butte and Paonia (Somerset mine) around the last week of Sept. It is said to be the largest single living organism in the world (although I think there is one in Utah that is bigger). It covers some 20-25 miles. Aspen groves have an extensive shared root system, one for all, all for one type thing.

I also have no doubt that Bl. Fulton Sheen is praying for America. God works in His time, but I have a feeling that the beatification marks an inflection point within the Catholic Church.

Cardinal Burke mentioned that he sees many young seminarians reading Sheen's books. The newest generation of priests and seminarians are much more orthodox in their theology, and less accepting of the Liberal experiment within the Church.

That's going to happen the further away, and the number of walls/floors, the signal has to penetrate.

If you have a very large house it's sometimes better to run a cable to another base station at the other end of the house or to another floor and use a base station there to create another mesh.

You could try using a different broadcast channel if you have a lot of nearby neighbors with their own WiFi.

Additionally, moving up to Wi-Fi 7 will give you a lot more signal, and not a lot of people are using it yet, so the 6Ghz band is still pretty open in most neighborhoods. That wouldn't be a cheap upgrade if none of your devices can use Wi-Fi 7, though.

NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman cryptically teased plans for a new high- and fast-flying X-plane with a silhouette of an aircraft that immediately drew comparisons to the famed SR-71 Blackbird as a backdrop.

Speculation: it might be just undergoing some cleaning... or it might have been taken to be used for some analysis on this effort NASA's undertaking.

Have you tried using a phone app that gives you a readout to show you on your screen where the best signal is and where it's dead?

NetSpot is a popular one, and this guy shows you how to use it:

https://youtu.be/88giN9wVIsY

I'd try something like that, and assess your situation then decide on what to do next. It may be a bum unit but it might also be your specific environment and the setup itself.

Weak Wi-Fi signal coverage is complicated and frustrating to solve but it can be fixed in a few ways.

The critics of Pope Leo's first encyclical completely ignored his condemnation of government welfare, which he correctly noted destroys people by denying them the inherent dignity of work.

This would also include schemes like the Basic Income, which is the same pig with lipstick added. The idea of creating a permanently idle underclass if demonic.

Having seen the homeless through my wife's eyes, I am convinced that all government assistance programs need to be shut down. The only effective solution to poverty is private charity, which the resultant lower taxes would facilitate. This would also actually *solve* poverty through individual guidance rather than bored bureaucrats checking boxes as they retire in place for 30 years.

Thanks for the shout out!

Don't look at polls, futures markets or social media chatter. All of that can be manipulated. Look at what people are actually doing.

Talerico, El-Sayed and the others are NOT campaigning hard in swing districts. They are not reaching out to the undecided. They are simply staying in friendly territory working the fundraising because that is why they are doing this. El-Sayed is bringing in Harris to campaign as a way of building his audience and stature as a commentator. He knows she will pull zero independents.

She is coming to shore up her left flank for next year. Talerico actually is trying to back-track somewhat, but El-Sayed has refused every opportunity to do a Sister Soulja. He's in it for the grift, and wants to preserve is Islamofascist street cred. That's more important to him than winning. Talerico doesn't actually believe in anything, so he's shift ground.

The elites of King George's day were heavily invested in their nation. His father personally took the field to lead his army in combat (the last British monarch to do so).

The aristocracy was expected to lead from the front and that continued to World War I, when just about every prominent family lost a son in combat. Now they just want to sell out the country for a few euros and an estate by the sea.

I have come to agree completely. The unavoidable problem of government assistance is that it requires vast bureaucracies to administer, and they quickly become forces that seek to maintain and expand the problems, in order to increase their own size, funding, and power. And they are never called to account for their spending.

Case in point - Dem Senators are viciously attacking Trump today for his pocket recission of nearly $1 billion in spending to help house illegal aliens and finance DEI projects.

240 The critics of Pope Leo's first encyclical completely ignored his condemnation of government welfare, which he correctly noted destroys people by denying them the inherent dignity of work.
...
Having seen the homeless through my wife's eyes, I am convinced that all government assistance programs need to be shut down. The only effective solution to poverty is private charity, which the resultant lower taxes would facilitate.

We just got back from Italy and had the opportunity to attend a General Audience with 9998 new friends. Mrs Cop and I were about 20 feet away when he rode the "Pope-mobile." Pope Leo's face seemed to beam with happiness and love.

He's not the Pope that the Traditionalists wanted, but I think he's the Pope that the Church needs at this time. During his address, he also spoke favorably about the (soon-to-be) Blessed Fulton Sheen.

It very much exists and I can show it to you, but it is not what it was. Starvation is basically unknown in this country. We used to fight starvation, then it was "hunger" and now it's "food insecurity" because the money machine has to keep running.

And let's be real: that money didn't go down a drain, it went to build up a massive political infrastructure to support more taxes and spending. Trump is dismantling it and that is why the left is going so crazy because without that money, their power evaporates and they will have to get real jobs.

I was clued in long before when I realized that those trendy non-profits all the Karens dream of working for accomplish very little, and most of their funding goes to salaries and overhead. The money left over gets passed around through all sorts of entities until it becomes impossible to trace.

They solicit government agencies for grants, then offer grants to other non-profits, who then offer grants, and little if any reaches the supposed beneficiary.

There is real poverty in America. I can drive you to it if you want to see it up close. Those people get overlooked and the grant money never reaches them because reasons.

The number of homeless in the area is well known. The National Guard has the resources to throw up a tent city and house all of them, and then provide them with treatment, food and put them to work.

But instead the feds imported 500 Afghans and leased a hotel to house them and then asked all the local charities to feed them until they could be shipped to the next voting location.

There is a need for help, and the government ignores it. The burden falls entirely on local volunteers no one knows about.

269 My eldest daughter was evicted from her apartment with her two toddler children. She was eligible for Section 8, the apartment complex accepted it, but the rules require you to be homeless first. So she would have to go into a shelter, lose everything she owned, and only then could they get her an subsidized apartment.

The charities were overwhelmed because the system is geared to create homeless. The purpose of a thing is what it does.

The man industrial plant closes because the jobs have been moved to Mexico or China. Not only are the workers unemployed but now the businesses they patronized go bankrupt.

Some are able to leave but the real estate market has collapsed and people are underwater and there are no buyers. Foreclosures spread, drug use spikes and deaths result. Families disintegrate and the tax base is destroyed, so police services are cut. Crime soars.

313 Prayers up for intentions posted or pondered. Going shopping for a replacement phone as I dropped my current one and rendered it semi-operational.

Still trying to land part time work in the neighborhood. Noticing a bit of clutch slipping on the truck, so that adds a degree of urgency to the proceedings...

Joe, I have been happy so far with my Pixel 6a, that I bought pre-loaded with Graphene OS off an eBay seller. Pixel phones, despite being sold by the evil Google, are very amenable to be rooted and have the new OS installed. Buy a used Pixel, series 6 through 10, anyway, and have a tech geek install the OS, which is a free download.

314 I’ve owned boats and horses.

Not even close to the same category of money spent. Horses, yes never ending expenses. You have to be insane to get into that world.

Boats are actually not that experience to own. It’s somewhat of a myth perpetrated by people who’ve never owned one.

Those little rectangles of ocean where you park them are surprisingly expensive. And you either allow the boat to crumble into dust or you pay for monthly maintenance.

322 Yeah the 4 marriage thing I don’t get. Ok you got married once got divorced you try again with number two. Sure.

But by number 3? And 4? Uhm maybe marriage just isn’t your thing man.

And then when people have kids with all of them it makes it even crazier. I grew up with kids who had all sorts of step siblings from different parents who would say they have 2 moms or two dads their real dad and dad #3 or some shit. It’s unfair to create that situation for children.

326 I guess when you get up to 46 feet it gets more pricy. I’ve owned 25-30 ft boats and was always puzzled by the “boats will bankrupt you” stuff. It was a few thousand dollars a year for maintenance and slip fees. People spend more than that on Starbucks.

Top Story

In the most depraved display of shameless self-serving bullshit since the Paris Olympics, OpenAI and Anthropic CEOs have gone to the UN to beg them to squish their competitors - somehow - after the US government told them to take a hike. (Associated Press)

Guys. Guys.

When your goal is regulator capture, you need to capture a regulator.

The UN is a debating society for schoolyard bullies, with the two teams being the Paste Eaters and the Window Lickers.

They don't have the power to regulate squat.
You know who does, though? The US government. (CNBC)

Who's a cute little supply-chain risk? You are, Anthropic! Well, never mind the cute part, but the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that yes, the Pentagon has the right to say who it considers a supply-chain risk.

A spokesbot for Anthropic said, "wah".

Tech News

I tried using the spare capacity on my second server (the one hosting my own blog and many others, though not this one) to host development of the new blogging software and the results were... Bad. The problem was not the new software itself but Rust debugging builds, which unleash a water cannon of useless redundant writes over your filesystem, and the filesystem on the server was not prepared for that, so while those builds were running the blogs froze, usually for a second or two but sometimes for minutes.

So this morning I grabbed two of the mini-PCs I bought last year before prices went crazy (actually after they went crazy, but that particular model resisted the price increases long enough for me to grab a couple or four for less than the price of the RAM they contained), upgrade their SSDs to 4TB each (same story), and drop Ubuntu 26.04 on them. And it... All worked.

Not sure exactly how they'll perform but they're eight thousand miles away from the servers so you shouldn't see any performance issues there. I just did a disk-to-disk copy of 18GB of files and it went zoom, so that's one datapoint.
SpaceXAI is planning to add another 660,000 AI GPUs this year. (Tom's Hardware)

660,000 for me, none for you.
Japan's used bookstores are the latest target of the AI shopping spree for content that hasn't been... Poisoned by AI. (Tom's Hardware)

It's kind of like the labs holding on to wood from before the 1950s to serve as a baseline for radiocarbon dating, because anything more recent is contaminated with excess C14 and gives skewed numbers.
Automattic has a new board of directors. (Tech Crunch)

This seems to have been the goal. The board briefly sidelined Mad King Matt Mullenweg, voted themselves golden parachutes, and waited for him to kick them out of the plane... Which is barreling straight towards a mountain.

16 Before James Bond, before The Saint, Roger Moore started his career in Hollywood in the late 1950s doing guest roles on TV shows.

He had roles on 77 Sunset Strip, and Alfred Hitchcock Presents. Which quickly led to a regular cast role in the 1959 show The Alaskans as a swindler/adventurer type during the Klondike Gold Rush.

The Alaskans only lasted one season, but since it was a Warner Brothers show, and since the character was similar to another pair of swindling card shark cowboys, they picked Moore to replace James Garner/Bret Maverick when the time came.

Moore played the British cousin Beauregarde Maverick for 15 episodes on WB’s, you guessed it; Maverick.

Moore actually gets 16 episodes to his credit as he’d previously had a guest role on Maverick playing a rich playboy who switches places with Bret because the wealthy woman he’s pursuing doesn’t like rich men - a sort of Prince and the Pauper-type plot, without look-alikes involved.

Moore also played a rather famous character, once, ten years early. In a 1964 episode of the UK variety/comedy show Mainly Millicent, Moore played James Bond.

18 I picked up a Lenovo 11 inch Idea Tab (8 GB, 128 SSD) about a month ago so I didn't have to crack open the laptop all the time. The current street price on this one is $190.00.

Some specs: aluminum build, 500 nit IPS 2560 x 1600 screen, 7000 mAh battery/20w charge, quad speakers, Android 16. I've been using it for surfing the web, watching media, listening to music, email, texting, some very light duty office stuff and it is handled all of this without quite well.

The Lenovo skin over Android hasn't been an issue so that's a plus. The knock is you only get two OS updates and about 3 years of security updates; by then the battery will probably be croaking and I'll be on to a new one so the short update support isn't an issue. It also has Pogo pins on it for a keyboard but I haven't been able to find one.

It is something of a winner especially when compared to the cheap Chicom knockoffs and what Walmart is selling for roughly the same price. It's not as nice as my Samsung Tab S10 Lite with a trackpad keyboard I keep in the glove box of the car which will now set you back about $600 with keyboard (if you can get them on sale it's possible to pick up these up for $300).

I’m just waiting for this tent to blow over in the wind. What a moron.

The story about Roger Moore was a good one! He was a star for a long time, yet apparently never let it go to his head and was vastly amused by stardom and Hollywood.

40 Some of you were discussing driving in snow.

My first experience was a few days before Christmas in '89. Snow fell steadily that morning, the last work day before the break. A thirty-minute commute home that morning took me two hours. People were panicking and spinning their wheels. My car was front-wheel-drive, but even I knew the rules were simple: Slow the hell down, leave a *lot more* following distance, and don't change direction suddenly. Basic rules that Swamp drivers can't follow even in the dry.

When I got to Denver, I had no trouble even with my rear-wheel-drive cars -- though I never drove in hilly or mountainous country when snow was falling or expected.

I just looked up a Connie Chan video. Mocking her accent should be the last thing she's worried about; if I were her I'd be worried about being labeled a Chinese Communist plant. As for the Wiener, what a dick. He seems mentally ill since he thinks he's running against Donald Trump.

I cleaned both and changed the arm protectors to the backup ones until I can wash the current models, but it was startling; I don't recall her ever doing that, at least not in my presence.

49 Come to think of it, I've never driven the Buick in snow. We haven't had any here except at the start of '25, and I stayed home for that. And when I've traveled elsewhere in it, it's been during spring or summer.

It's a heavy FWD car and the tires are pretty new. The only problem should be the nut behind the wheel.

54 My first experience was a few days before Christmas in '89. Snow fell steadily that morning, the last work day before the break. A thirty-minute commute home that morning took me two hours.

Must've been the same winter storm that hit us in '89.
That was my only White Christmas, as it snowed Christmas Eve here.

Back then, every Christmas, my family drove about two hours to other towns where my grandparents lived.

Since I'd just gotten my driver's license a few months before, and it was about 20 degrees outside (and he hated the cold), Dad thought it would be a good idea to send me out with Mom's Buick to fill the car up before we left.

So I grabbed a buddy of mine who lived several houses down and we rode off through the neighborhood to go to the gas station. All good until I had to stop at the neighborhood entrance and make a left on the the main road.

I hit the brakes and that big, heavy, Buick laughed at me and slid, and slid, and slid until the car was in the middle of the intersection. Thankfully, nobody was on the road at 6 a.m on Christmas.

I drove about 25 mph the rest of the way to the gas station and braked like I was an 85 year old lady.
Lesson learned.

Our sales tax went from about 5% when I was a teenager to over 9% now. The only break they give you is no sales tax on groceries.

They love to add another 1% every decade, ostensibly to pay for roads and schools, which will never end because the county keeps handing out building permits for tens-of-thousands of houses in developments around town.

The last time they tried to add another 1%, via a required vote, the people said "NO, enough!".

That on top of property taxes (I'll pay around $4000 early next year), so it never really ends.

94 AOP (if he ever sees this),
Reading about your USB dongle troubles.
If plugging it in the back of the PC doesn't help, it may as there might be a USB 3 port back there depending on how old the motherboard is, you can always try installing a network/Wifi card on a PCIe slot on the motherboard.

Those will come with a set of plastic antennas that should give you better reception, too.

Just make sure you buy a card that will fit the slots on your motherboard and it, again, depends on how old the motherboard.

Wifi cards are rather cheap, so buy an something like a Intel 'Killer' Wi-Fi 6E (802.11ax) card and you should get some excellent speeds pretty cheaply, probably for around C$65 or less on Amazon or wherever you get your PC parts.

If you don't want to spend that much there are plenty of cheaper cards out there that will work well.
But, make sure your older motherboard has the right slot open and can handle a newer card.

IOW, Nancy Grace is going to be a motor mouth shore 'nuff.

21 The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has announced a massive meat recall on more than 167,000 pounds of raw pork, beef and goat products that officials said were produced without federal inspection.

According to the nationwide recall alert, Star Meat Delivery Inc., located in Lucama, N.C., is recalling the meat, which officials said is labeled with a false USDA mark of inspection.
***
Would it be surprising to learn one of the co-owners was sentenced to prision for removing FDA tags on diseased beef in 2016? Note, the Hill commenters blame TooRump for the company's crimes.

22 Reading back on the Week in Woke post about the Renn fair banning Furries.

Every year there's a big Furry convention in the hotel that is right across the street from the hockey arena where the team my wife works for plays.

This past winter, we were on our way to the arena for a game and stopped at a light - when we saw.... a large ... person... in a dog... costume... on his hands and knees... "walking"... across the cross walk... while being leashed to a ... shall we say.. a lady who was a leather expert.

In broad daylight. On a public, downtown street.

68 I read the weirdest article today.

Because AI is doing all the entry level grunt work, companies are worried their entry level employees aren’t getting experience and will be ill prepared as they progress through their careers.

So the solution is to use less AI and have these people do the work right? No you silly goose.that’s crazy talk obviously you don’t hold an MBA from a prestigious university.

No, the solution is creating simulated fake work for them to do, while AI still does the actual work. That’s the type of out of the box thinking a Harvard MBA teaches.

This is now a thing at places like JP Morgan and Ernst & Young.

"I'm helping"

I quit going to a local pizza place years ago because there was an employee doing various nasty cleaning things and then without so much as wiping off her gloves started stocking the salad bar. A complaint to the manager brought no good response, and we never went back. We'd spent a lot of money there in the past. Too bad for them.

Their pizza was average, the salad bar was okay (except in retrospect), but mostly the kids liked the video/pinball games. Ah, well.

Let's see - A bored, emotionally checked-out husband decides the solution to his dead marriage is to answer a personal ad from some woman who likes piña coladas and getting caught in the rain. He writes back under a fake name, they set up a shady meeting at a bar, both clearly ready to cheat. When he shows up, the mystery woman turns out to be his own wife, who was also so sick of him that she placed the exact same ad. They stare at each other in mutual embarrassment, realize they’re both equally scum of the earth and dishonest, and somehow decide this is romantic instead of deeply pathetic.

121 Marines: For those of you who were never in the Parachute Ski Marines and didn't do basic at Macho Grande, magazines are typically loaded using a "stripper clip", a metal tray that holds cartridges by the base and allows the rounds to be pushed (stripped) into the magazine body.

To keep everything in alignment, a small metal guide slides onto the magazine and holds the clip while the cartridges are pushed into the magazine box. Once the cartridges are in, the guide is removed from the magazine.

The unfortunate Marine wasn't listening when they told him how to use a stripper clip guide, and managed to shove the entire clip into the magazine. I suspect there is another clip already in the magazine, and now it is hopelessly jammed.

132 Our very conservative Catholic school used to have an 8th grade father/daughter dance.

When I took my oldest daughter, the dance was a big flop ... because middle school girls with their fathers.

One of the moms running the dance decides to get transgressive and puts on "I'm Too Sexy".

No one at all goes out to dance, so after a few beats, I head out to the dance floor and start lip-synching and doing a fair imitation of the guys dancing in the MTV video.

After my first pass across the gym, I rip off my sports coat and make another pass. At this point all of the dads are howling and the girls that have seen the video are giggling and trying to explain it to their friends.

I get back to my daughter and reach out my hand. She pauses for a moment, and then concedes that sometimes you just have to go with the "dad joke" rather than fight it.

She comes out on the dance floor and starts copying me, but much more gracefully. Shortly thereafter the dance floor gets flooded with fathers and daughters, and the rest of the dance goes very well.

When alcohol is not a permissible social lubricant, some times you just need a big 'ol Idiot.

Needless to say, I still like that song.

143 Evening, all,

Some of those "hits that shouldn't have happened" were pretty darn good. "Afternoon Delight" was charming. "The Chipmunk Song" (in small doses, say, once a year) and "The Streak" (ditto) were funny, as was "My Ding-a-Ling." And "Macarena" has an irresistible melody to it.

None of them is "City of New Orleans," "Classical Gas," "Fancy," or "Ode to Billie Joe," but not many songs can be.

Since I actually enjoy their sound, sometimes when I'm feeling down, I like to rewatch the video for "Testify":

https://youtu.be/Q3dvbM6Pias

Releasing the video just months before the 2000 election, RATM teamed up with Michael Moore (who directed) and Ralph Nader (who cameo'd) to convince Democrats that algore was no real alternative to W. As bad as W's GOPe admin was, imagining algore's SCOTUS picks and his cabinet's ratcheting of regulatory tyranny, it brings a smile to my face to think that Morello et al. were such dopey Nader stans that they inadvertently saved us from that.

I will edit down Larry Correia's thoughts

. . . To our cool northern brethren, in the exceedingly unlikely event this war happens, rather than dying horribly 30 to 1 to an overwhelming military force because your elite liberal betters expect you to cosplay the Taliban because they spent all your tax dollars on retarded liberal shit instead of tanks or artillery, the cool provinces could just tell Ottawa to fuck off. You can become independent countries and get rich selling oil and minerals!

[. . . ]How profoundly fucking sad is the Canadian government that they think being the Taliban is ASPIRATIONAL? The Taliban died in droves. They lost every battle with insanely bad K/Ds. They didn't "win" the war so much as America just kinda blundered around for twenty years failing to create a flourishing Jeffersonian democracy from a bunch of goat molesting cavemen for some baffling reason, until we said fuck it, this is lame, we're out of here. And Joe Biden still managed to screw even that up!

I don't know why, which is my standard answer to anything.

I am so happy that I have nothing to do tomorrow! What a great day is ahead! If I have a week or two of social stuff I start getting a bit nuts. I am right there currently on the map.

We "had" to meet DIL's parents for dinner Wed night after doing a bunch of stuff for two weeks of socializing. They were visiting from FL and I like them. Her mother is fun when she's not wacko from travel (I will blame this instead of her mother's cat who bit her wrist and she showed me).

I heard, in great detail, about her father being cremated (semi-normal discussion), and her uncle who's an undertaker of a funeral home and gory details I'd rather not know. I kept thinking she'd stop so I could change the subject but this went on for awhile and I tried not to glug my wine. My husband says she's the only person he's met who talks more than I do...but at least I'm entertaining and don't have a cat bite. The food also sucked at this restaurant.

One of my brothers nearly went loco when his roommate played "I Will Always Love You" sung by Whitney Houston over and over again. Yes I know Dolly wrote it.

I'm not sure if we should invade Canada based on Celine Dion's stuck stiff person disease. I think she's playing in Las Vegas now. I saw a photo recently of her waving her arm around at any rate that did look stiff. Sometimes I only skim the surface of stuff I don't want to know.

She's always been weird, marrying that old man. Then having a demonic clothing line for babies. Then her stiff disease, which she's always seemed to have had anyway.

I'm not fond of "My Heart Will Go On." Apparently everything is frozen in amber with her.

Don't know why she thought that I
Would say what's mine is his --

"I don't want to own her
But I can't let her have it both ways.
Three is one too many of us;
She leaves with me, or stays with

"Him, him, him
What's she gonna do about him?
She's gonna have to do without him
Or do without me, me, me --

Lucky woman.

Grunge was a music genre from the 90's that started in Seattle as a form of underground rejection of the way that new wave and punk became industrialized, and made exactly like the music they were supposed to be objecting to. And once it became popular it was picked up by the major labels and turned into the very form of music it was supposed to be rejecting.

Grunge made flannel shirts popular as urban street wear.

Also, think Nirvana or Alice in Chains, or Pearl Jam, or Temple of the Dog. You know. Them.

I didn't have a chance to chime in earlier today on the Lindsay Clancy post, and the vile opinion column by Wendy Murphy. She always had a bit of a feminist streak going back years, but clearly being in the ivory tower of edumacation has influenced her.

In fact, she was one of the first harpies pointing at Karen Read as guilty of murdering her Boston cop boyfriend all based on planted evidence from a purposely botched investigation, and statements by a local news outlet of slam-dunk video evidence that didn't actually exist. And she's been strangely silent about the murder of a young woman by the name of Sandra Birchmore who was abused and groomed by LEOs in Canton, MA and the Mass. State Police. Oh, and she was 10 weeks pregnant at the time.

AI told me there wouldn't be a market. And, I told AI to get out more... 78% support the deportations, 54% support removing all illegals. That's a majority customer base.

Instead of using a chisel, try spinning the handle in your rudimentary lathe and using a flap wheel on an angle grinder to form the taper. To use a chisel on a wood lathe, you need a VERY solid tool rest. The forces involved can be pretty fierce.

265 I saw a question on a leftwing forum, "Would cruise ships exist in a socialist state?". I originally understood that as "would a socialist state actually bother to provide such an expensive form of entertainment?" but apparently what they really meant was cruise ships are bad for da Erf.

But I don't care about stupid leftist virtue signaling so...I took a look at what the Soviet Union provided and the answer is mixed.

The Soviets did convert a group of ships into cruise liners and they used them partly for local cruising around the black sea and partly as real cruise ships for foreigners even losing one on rocks off of Australia.

Looking at the Black Sea cruise experience well...no private bathrooms and people packed in like sardines... doesn't look fun to me but I'll give them credit they did allocate some resources to building cruise ships though a cynic might assume it was to build knowledge on how to run the profitable international cruises.

275 Instead of using a chisel, try spinning the handle in your rudimentary lathe and using a flap wheel on an angle grinder to form the taper. To use a chisel on a wood lathe, you need a VERY solid tool rest. The forces involved can be pretty fierce.

276 >> Black Hole Sun" is canon now.

Yes, the Little Red Dots, and this is rapidly converging to "big black hole" "stars" if you can call them. Fascinating and evolving thing.

The question was always where did the yuge, supermassive black holes that are at the center of most galaxies come from? Did they come from mergers of stellar mass black holes somehow, or did they somehow come earlier.

It's looking like that latter now. The black holes formed first,and were the seeds around which galaxies formed.

Watched a lot of the B series movies, Torchy Blaine, Boston Blackie, Dick Tracy, Hildegarde Withers, Maisie, about 10 Andy Hardy movies, they are great fun and filled with so many excellent character actors. Watched every Dead End, East Side Kids, Bowery Boys too. These cheapo movies kept a bunch of studios afloat.
Kay Kyser and his band made four feature films for RKO. The first one, "You'll Find Out" is very good comedy/horror movie. Lugosi, Karloff, Peter Lorre are in it.

All the more reason to use the angle grinder as the cutting implement, then. You are trying cut a piece of hardwood across the grain. A sharp implement can either dig in, and tear out a divot, or simply bounce off.

We've been on Elon all summer, living in the camper while the house is being rebuilt. He does pretty well, although there are occasional soft spots, because we have some pretty tall birch trees around the joint. I suppose it would have helped to run it up the flagpole, but of course then it could have blown off. It has been a lesson in patience, but mostly good.

I still yell his name when things blink out, but I suppose he is used to that, since he has so many kids.

Mine has been blinking out, but it's not the Starlink hardware. It's the little 29 dollar USB dongle I bought to give wifi capability to my old desktop computer. And I think the issue is that the OS loses its grip on the USB bus every so often. Sometimes the USB keyboard and mouse also freeze up. Unplugging the dongle, and plugging it back in has reset it, so far.

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at September 25, 2026 11:51 PM (dPOOv)

And I might do that, but I don't want a tapered piece, I did that last time with a draw knife. The shovel socket is cylindrical, and if the handle is tapered, it puts all the stress on the wood at the mouth of the socket when I pry with it. That is why it broke at that very point this last time, I suspect.

If I can get it taken down to fit the socket more closely, it should spread the stress for the entire socket wall, and maybe the handle will last a couple of years more before I have to buy another handle.

I mostly use it for digging out root balls and the like. Love that shovel for making holes.

343 That's to be expected. A negotiated separation will never succeed. Eventually, there will be a unilateral declaration of independence. It worked for you guys, against a much tougher opponent.

Or the provincial leaders will be bought off by some trinkets and you'll never get the chance to be rid of Ottawa again.

344 Many of us here in Alberta know that. The bizarre antics of the Ottawa elite are the best ad material for the upcoming Alberta independence referendum that we could wish for.

I really hope you break it off in Ottawa's ass.

345 I do not trust Danielle Smith. She can be a weasel. She needs to nut up, and present Ottawa with some non-negotiable demands: if Ottawa does, or fails to do, certain things, it will trigger a unilateral declaration of independence. Joining the EU would be one such. Dumping another metric fuckton of Turd-World migrants into Alberta would be another.

The received wisdom as to why Canada cancelled the trade deal discussions with the US is that at least 3 premiers threatened Carney with a revolt. Probably more than 3 were ready to rumble if the Canadian tariffs were reduced or eliminated. Carney still hasn't given Canadians a full answer for the lack of a trade deal. The absence of political transparency in Canada is frightening - in every sense of the word.

I'm more sympathetic about Smith's position - she needs a popular referendum on the matter of separation before she can play hardball with the Carneyites. Otherwise, Ottawa would hammer her as a separatist, or worse.

which is why I do not trust Danielle Smith. If the referendum passes, she should resign as Premier, and make way for a hard-liner to take the helm.

Danielle Smith is damaged goods. She became the leader of the (very) conservative Wildrose Party, and was in line to become Premier. Then she made a deal with the (squishy) provincial Conservative Party, and squish Jason Kenney became Premier. Set us back at least 5 years.

Cannot blame Starlink for that. I still think that somehow Linux Mint is losing its grip on the Universal Serial Bus. Because for a long time, I have been experiencing the occasional keyboard and mouse freeze-up, which eventually resolves itself. Could be a glitch on the motherboard, too.

Have not tried that. This box has little front panel gadget that provides a USB port, plus slots to fit several different formats of camera/phone memory cards. Maybe that device is shutting down the USB. But it works for downloading pics from my camera, or writing data to thumb drives.

There is a thing called "IRQ", "interrupt request queue" or something like that. The motherboard polls the various peripherals to see if they have something new to say. It might be a failure there, too.

379 Canned six quarts of jalapenos tonight. I've been making a lot of quesadillas for lunch, so I finished last old jar this week. Not home grown; I just bought them from the store. They are so cheap, it doesn't seem worth growing them. Actually I tried some starts this year, but they never really took off.

They are quick to process, too. Not the full canning routine, just some vinegar and sugar and salt.

385 I was listening to a Joe Rogan episode today. It was Eric Weinstein and Terrence Howard. Never heard of them before, except I listened to another interview with Eric yesterday. Terrence had some crazy theories about how 1 x 1 = 2, some shapes he made explained electro-magnetism and "super-symmetry," etc. Eric's patience was astonishing. I would never have made it to the end if I hadn't just had it running in the background while I was working. But Eric's message at the end made it worth it. It was about trying to find the real contribution someone offers, even if they aren't speaking the language you are used to.

4WD just makes idiots think they are bullet proof. Mostly, it allows folks to get that much further into the snow bank in the ditch. Bigger tires mean you float on the ice and just slide into the mess. Good luck with that.

Slow the fuck down. Do you want to get there, or do you want to sit in the ditch until a tow truck drags your sorry ass out?

Just sayin'.

I don't drive for the first three days of snow on the ground here. The first-timers all put themselves into the ditch, and then it's save to drive.

I learned to drive in November in AK. Snow and ice is just a given. It isn't difficult, just common sense, but common sense it appears is just not common.

Slow the fuck down, don't tailgate, watch for crap on the road, and for Pete's sake, let the moose cross before you pass.

Down in these parts, the animals worry about us running into them. I especially take care to avoid opossums.

In AK, on the other hand, you could run into a moose. I watched a few seasons of "Life below Zero". You are some tough folks up there.

Most moose collisions are not horrible, even though they usually total the vehicle, but occasionally one will come up off the bumper and those hooves will crash through the windshield and they can decapitate people. It can be horrible. I suggest not doing it, even if you think you have to. I'd rather go in the ditch than crash a moose.

A few years ago, along the inlet on the Seward Highway, a moose fell off a cliff onto a car. That's a whole other world of weird. I have no idea what you tell your insurance company about that.

__________________________

One of the funniest things I've ever seen is this woman who ended up having to raise a beaver (not a euphemism for pilates). I forget the circumstances, but she ended up having an adult beaver living in her house. And, this little bastard would survey the house and find things he could carry and end up building a damn in the hallway leading to the kitchen, every damn day.

Half way through the video, she says to her husband, "Where's Rico?" and leaves the kitchen to search for the beaver....and just as she leaves the kitchen you hear a yelp and a whole bunch of crashing off camera as she presumably tripped over something....then a shout. "YOU LITTLE SHIT. THATS MY SEWING MACHINE!!!"

I must have missed that one. Just watched another video today about how every time Shaqulle O'Neal goes to the zoo (which he does a lot because he loves zoos) he always goes to the Primate portionj to taunt the Silverback gorillas. He'd go with team mates, and they all said Shaq loves to stare them down and they all always come over to the glass and just stare back...except when they were in Philly the one time and there is a giant Albino Silverback named Joey there who just waltzed right up and started pounding hard on the glass trying to get at him. Shaq said he was pissed because Joey didn't know how Shaq had escaped.

Gotta love Shaq.

They don't look particularly volcanic to me. They are "hoodoos", which are pillars of soft rock, capped by a layer of harder rock which protects the soft rock directly below it from erosion. Now the soft rock might be a thick deposit of volcanic ash, and the harder cap rock a lava flow, but the mechanism for forming the pillars is clearly erosion. We have a nice patch of hoodoos in the East Valley of the Red Deer River near Drumheller, and the rocks involved are entirely sedimentary.

73 Penguins are non-existent in the Arctic because the few that made it there were eaten long ago. This account illustrates why the mephitic menace has not managed to migrate to the most Northern parts of the globe:

"In the second voyage of Sir John Ross to the arctic regions, he purchased a sledge of the Esquimaux, and on examining it, it was found to be made of frozen penguins, with skins sewed over them; but the cross pieces were the leg bones of the reindeer. It was not an erroneous conjecture of some of the crew, that when these poor creatures are driven to extremity for food, they turn to and make a dainty meal of their sledges, as, with the exception of the reindeer bones, the whole of them is eatable."

83 “In the service of the first A [aeronautics] in NASA, we are rebuilding our X-plane fleet. The X-59 is researching quiet supersonic flight, but it’s just the beginning,” the NASA head told attendees.

Questions about the disappearance of the SR-71 come a week after NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman discussed plans for a new high-altitude, high-speed X-plane

-Serial 61-7980 was the last SR-71 built and the last to fly,
_Sources told the publication that the plane was moved into a hangar earlier this year for an inspection,...

“As NASA recommits to flight test and works alongside industry to push the boundaries of airframe and propulsion design, it will not be long before NASA once again is flying as high and as fast as we had in decades past, and then even more.”

107 There are at least nine Flock automated license plate readers (ALPRs) currently monitoring the traffic lanes used by drivers entering the Pentagon's parking lots, including many of the DOD's own employees.
The purpose of these cameras is to give the Pentagon's security forces the ability to automatically record information about incoming vehicles that may pose a security risk.

But if the alleged vulnerabilities of Flock cameras are as serious as the company's critics allege, then this equipment could be exploited to obtain a detailed list of the national security officials seen entering the Pentagon each day. In this way, the Pentagon's rush to obtain security equipment from private contractors may pose a national security risk of its own.

Concerns about the ability of Flock products to track people alongside cars has produced backlash from privacy-minded citizens, resulting in both protests and contract cancellations.

Others have criticized Flock's devices for security vulnerabilities that expose them to unauthorized users, flaws which could be especially dangerous in the context of military facilities

The Week In Woke

Panel recommends the 12-month suspension of the American Psychological Association over "pervasive culture of antisemitism."

NACIQI recommends that the Senior Department Official (SDO) suspend the American Psychological Association Commission on Accreditation's recognition for 12 months from the SDO decision on the grounds of non-compliance with all sections listed as non-compliant in the final staff report and that the agency has failed to address the pervasive culture of antisemitism within the programs that it accredits," the decision read.
The NACIQI is an 18-member advisory body, established in 1992, that makes recommendations to the U.S. Secretary of Education on "matters related to accreditation and to the eligibility and certification process for institutions of higher education."

43% of "Americans" have a positive view of socialism.

More than four in ten Americans have a positive view of socialism -- 43 percent -- only 12 points lower than the 55 percent who view capitalism positively, a recent Gallup survey revealed.
The survey asked respondents if they have a negative or positive image of small business, free enterprise, capitalism, socialism, and big business.
Small business had the highest rating at 95 percent positive, followed by free enterprise with 77 percent positive, and capitalism with a 55 percent positive rating.
However, 43 percent now have a positive view of socialism. This is "the first time this figure has exceeded 39% in Gallup's trend since 2010," Gallup reported.
Democrats' view of socialism has grown more positive over the past several years. More than half, 57 percent, had a positive view of socialism in 2018. Now, that figure among Democrats stands at 65 percent. Coinciding with that is the fact that Democrats view capitalism less favorably, dropping from 42 percent in 2025 to 35 percent in 2026.
Similarly, independents are cozying up to the ideology. In the last year alone, independents went from a 37 percent positive view of socialism to 45 percent.

Feminist Karens are always contriving fake reasons that men aren't allowed to see attractive women. Rather than admitting what it is -- simple catty jealousy -- they spam out fake political reasons. Oh, it's not just that we're bitter jelly wallflowers. It's that we don't want to see female athletes sexualized.

They don't explain why they've never objected to all the naked female athletes in the Sports Illustrated "Body" issues.

They also don't explain why they don't object to male athletes like David Beckham wearing just their skivvies in ads. See, that's just "modeling" this horrid and vapid feminist femsplains.Feminists are very fond of the "It's Different Because I Said So" style of argument, you may have noticed.

Not only do transgenders experience fewer murders than the general population, but the murders they experience are committed by their "intimate partners," not strangers attempting a "trans erasure."

Transgender people are murdered at lower rates than the overall US population -- and when they are, the killer's primary motive is usually not bias, according to a pair of researchers.
The findings, published by the right-leaning Manhattan Institute's Vincent Lundgren and Colin Wright earlier this year, seemingly debunk claims by the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) and other nonprofit organizations that there is an "epidemic" of deadly violence against the trangender community driven by "transphobia" and even "white supremacy."
"Transgender people are less likely to be murdered than the rest of the population, most transgender people are murdered by members of their own race, and intimate partner violence -- not hate -- is the leading identified motive for most such murders," Lundgren and Wright found.
The researchers investigated more than 300 murder cases dating back to 2015 where the victim was transgender.
In the cases where suspects were identified, black suspects accounted for 65% of perpetrators, while white suspects accounted for 18%.
"This finding is not the result of one bad year or a handful of outlier cases," the researchers stated.
The report noted that in 2020 -- the year HRC attributed the deaths of "our Black trans siblings" to "an epidemic of violence" fueled by "systems of white supremacy" -- not a single white suspect was identified in the cases the Manhattan Institute researchers verified.
Confirmed hate crimes were only found in 3.3% of cases the Manhattan Institute studied.
"The leading identified circumstance of the murders was instead intimate partner violence," the researchers wrote. "Other common circumstances included sex-work encounters, disputes, robbery, and other forms of interpersonal conflict."
"In other words, the dominant pattern is not hateful white men hunting down black transgender victims because of racism and transphobia," they continued. "It is violence between people who know each other, sleep with each other, live around each other, or encounter each other in high-risk contexts."

The researchers also found that between 2010-2014 the transgender murder rate was roughly one-seventh what it was for the general population.
During that 5-year stretch, 3.66 per 100,000 transgender people were murdered. The rate among the general population was 25.8 per 100,000.
They found the homicide rate of young black transgender women (69% of all victims) to be "approximately one quarter that of young Black non-transgender men."
"Misleadingly, these male victims are usually compared with black non-transgender women (females), which makes their homicide rate look unusually high for 'women,'" the researchers noted.
HRC did not immediately respond to The Post's request for comment.

The Dutch have reported that their first euthanasia of a baby went well with no complications, except for killing a baby, of course.

A Maryland Renaissance Festival has done what was necessary and banned the furries.

While Ren Fest is a chance to dress up in creative costumes, organizers say one look is not welcome this year: Furries.
Specifically, the festival has banned "fursuits."
"Our decision to specifically prohibit fursuits is based on repeated incidents with patrons wearing said costumes at the festival," organizers announced in the spring, accusing wearers of "behaviors that have made other patrons uncomfortable," "unauthorized performances" and "the open refusal to respect or cooperate with festival staff/security/and first aid."
Fursuits are now banned under the festival's "headwear restrictions."
"All headwear must be removable, thematic to the event, and appropriate for a family-friendly venue. Face-covering must be removed upon entering the village gate after which they can be worn as intended," the event's website reads. "Inappropriate, offensive, and non-thematic headwear will not be permitted through the festival gates. Examples of non-compliant headgear/face coverings include inappropriate face paint, offensive prosthetics, make up or masks intended to frighten, and fursuits."

Transgender substitute teacher at a high school said a Mexican-American studies classroom made him feel "good" after he saw a "progress pride" flag hanging next to the Mexican flag.
He added that he prefers teaching high school because, when he worked in elementary school, he had a lot of problems with parents.

31 Used to go to the Ren Fest in Maryland every year when I lived down the road from it. Always thought it was great fun, and sort of family-friendly, even though it was mostly adults in attendance. That was many years ago, and before the weirdness infecting everything set in. Haven't been back in 20 years, so God know what it's like now, but I guess banning furries is some indication.

Medieval sanitation wasn't up to par with modern standards (or Roman standards frankly), but it did exist. People were aware you had to cook stuff properly, that poo had to be carted outside the city gates, and that rats were bad.
Problems started to recur in the early-modern period when spices and perfumes started showing back up. Kitchens didn't have to take care of the cooking so much. Men and women at court could hide their stench (I've been to Versailles, they had discreet nooks to drop loads, the servants would sweep them off).

even in theoretical socialism, only inside the group is there equality. All plumbers (or however you divvy them up) are cogs. The Group of Intellectuals is better than the plumbers so they get nicer houses than plumbers. Of course, the toilets will work in the Plumbers' houses. So somebody has to decide who is in what group and what they must do and what they get.

Deadstock (Unworn): Can command $20,000 to $50,000+, with specific high-demand pairs like the OG Chicago reaching up to $61,805.

183 Regarding premature babies & the killing of that Dutch toddler (which made me sad & I rarely read similar)...

Grandson has a friend in school. Granted her parents are 100% insane & I won't get into that. She was born premature, but not 26wks. She's worn glasses & has other issues, which seem mild, since she was a baby. A bit odd looking and with her parents I just don't know.

However, this kid can RUN. We were at a cross country yearly deal yesterday. The kids run almost 2mi and she is fast and came in 3rd overall for her age group and the first of girls. Grandson, meanwhile, was the middle of the pack and that's fine with us.

We did not have sports til 7th grade. These are 3rd graders.

She may not score high on exams or be the prettiest in her class, but this girl can run.

The poor baby the Dutch killed made me sad. I was blessed with healthy babies at term (well, eldest went beyond).

Our first girlie came in the middle of the pack because, like me, she wasn't trying. She could do anything but doesn't care (like me).

We go to our car and there is this nitwit father telling a 5yr old, sort of a quiz, on how to be an "athlete." I wanted to tell him to let the kid be a kid.

186 As a kid I once got a knockoff converse pair and took them out to play and within about an hour one had ripped entirely open from toe to heel on the instep near the rubber.

205 I honestly think or guess the popularity of socialism is that these idiots think life will be like a big pie. Between college debt and idiocy they want more, more, more.

Divided into pieces from everyone dumping their wealth or income into the pie and divided up.

I think not.

We were poor college grads starting out. Poor newlyweds. We worked hard, bought our first house under Carter's 12% interest rates. Remodeled and lived there 10yrs. Barely made a profit raising 2 boys, but cut debt, and built a beautiful home and later a pool in FL for 20yrs. Sold that one and bought the forever home out West where we met.

Working/sacrifice is a mystery to these "socialists" who think because their parents did well they should by birth. Tough luck. Shut up.

And, no, I am not sharing. Pay your dues.

231 The U.S. Maritime Administration (MARAD), which oversees the country's merchant marine fleet, has ordered SUNY Maritime College to send its training ship "Empire State" into federal service. The ship normally serves as a floating classroom for maritime cadets, however MARAD has the authority to activate these vessels up for national missions.

Empire State departs the Bronx campus September 30, arrives in Norfolk, Virginia October 1, and will spend a month there getting its flight deck certified before moving into a support role for the Navy. That role hasn't been confirmed. MARAD expects the mission to last about 170 days.

Perfect: Nikole Hannah-Jones Didn't Just Send Her Daughter to a Failing School, She Sent Her Daughter to a School That Teaches Her Fraudulent "1619" Agenda

I didn't highlight an important part of Nikole Hannah-Jones' virtue-sacrificing of her daughter to boost her career as a professional race hustler. I rage-quit the article just a thousand words in.

John Sexton read further -- and found that the school routinely allowed fights, did not discipline students, and didn't even grade students.

Toward the end of first grade, Najya started sometimes saying she didn't like her school and complaining how chaotic it was at lunch. I decided to visit during the lunch period and was shocked by what I saw. Najya's class and another class were sitting at their tables in the cafeteria with no lunch and no adult supervision. Children were running wild, chasing, hitting and pushing each other while the teacher's aides and cafeteria workers stood by looking bored.
Several times, I had to instruct children to stop striking each other and to sit down, at one point physically pulling two boys apart. When I asked one of the aides why the children weren't being supervised, she told me the lunch period was short-staffed. After I sat back down with Najya, she told me, "It's always like this, and that's why I don't want to go to this school."
...
Finally, a few days before school let out for winter break, I received a folder in Najya's backpack with the math assignments I had been requesting since our conference. Once I tucked her into bed, I sat at my dining room table and scanned one page, then another and another. None of them were graded. I started checking Najya's work and discovered most of her answers were wrong. Najya believed herself to be good at math -- it was her favorite subject. But now I understood she thought she was correctly solving all her problems because her teacher was not checking her work. Similarly, Najya's writing assignments were rife with uncorrected punctuation, capitalization and grammar errors.

This isn't a question of money, this is a result of poisonous leftwing policy imperatives about "equity," insisting that grades are anti-equity as they separate good learners from poor ones, and that punishing any student is likewise anti-equity because good-behaving students aren't punished at all.

By abandoning all standards, a single standard is selected by default: the standard of the sewer, the standard of the pit.

Peachy Keenan
@KeenanPeachy
Why am I just learning now that public schools in the New York city ghetto don't assign homework, don't grade tests, don't respond to parents emails or phone calls, don't supervise feral, fighting kids at lunch, don't know or care if their students can read or do grade level math, and give them As on their report cards when they are actually doing F level work?
Why did Nikole Hannah Jones bury this explosive lede?
Why isn't she writing emergency front page @nytimes stories about this shocking, incredible, abject citywide failure that costs people who pay taxes over $50K per student per year?
Why isn't she holding emergency all-hands on deck meetings with @NYCMayor
to shut this down, rescue these kids, fire everyone involved?
We all know why. But no one at the Times will say a word. LOL
Giving high school diplomas and 4.0 GPAs out to illiterate 18 year olds as reparations
it's really just as simple as that

"Equity" is the only thing that matters. It's pure Harrison Bergeron.

Remember, the only thing we need to do to improve failing schools is pay teachers more and give every student his own laptop.

It has nothing at all to do with ending all disciplining, suspension, and expulsion of chronically disruptive and even violent black students.

The Federalist notes that the deranged narcissist Nikole Hannah-Jones just happened to Virtue-Sacrifice her daughter at a shithole school that didn't teach students anything, but did waste time teaching her debunked, fraudulent "1619" thesis.

The failing school that race-grifter Nikole Hannah-Jones sent her child to used Hannah-Jones' ahistorical 1619 Project as part of its curriculum, public records show.
...
In 2022, Najya would have been in seventh grade and therefore a student at Unison for two years of the 1619 fabrications.
...
The basic premise of the 1619 Project is that the true founding of America happened in 1619 when the first slave ships with Africans arrived. Everything that happened after that, including the American Revolution, was really for the express purpose of continuing the institution of slavery, as opposed to any grander purpose like freedom, liberty, and self-determination. It is an "antiracist" project that has suffered withering rebuttals from historians across the political spectrum for its numerous errors, but the race-essentialist lens that undergirds it goes far beyond the false telling of history.
The "antiracist" movement as a whole means curricula across subjects, school policies on discipline, and grading are all rearranged to coddle particular groups of students based on skin color, while ignoring everyone else. Unsurprisingly then, "antiracism" is the essential premise of Hannah-Jones' essay, even though she tries not to admit it, and the "antiracist" elements described above were deeply embedded in the school she selected.
...
The racial programming appeared to work, as Najya herself, when looking for a more rigorous high school, said, "I'd never been in a school with white kids and don't think I really wanted that," but between it all, the true consequences of 1619-informed "antiracism" came out as well.
"Unison had eliminated homework because studies show that it does not have much impact on academic achievement, and that assigning it often sets up for failure students who are so academically behind that they cannot do the work on their own."

Some kids can't do homework therefore "equity" demands that no students do homework, including the more advanced students who could actually gain from it.

" Under the Unison system, students completed their assignments during class time where a teacher could guide and help if they got stuck. But for students like Najya, this practice proved absolutely harmful," Hannah-Jones admitted. "She'd bemoan how the less experienced teachers struggled to manage their classrooms and would expend so much attention on the small number of kids acting out that they'd be unable to complete their lessons or help a student stuck on a problem. There were occasionally fights in the hallway."
Instead of disciplining any children who acted out in class, teachers had to "refocus students and mitigate conflict" in real-time, meaning they had very little opportunity for actual class instruction. In the same sentence, Hannah-Jones claims that "this is good educational practice," and then adds, "but kids like Najya, who were just trying to do their work, saw this treatment as deeply unfair."
In reality such policies are unfair because not disciplining students deprives both misbehaving students and their more studious peers of educational consistency throughout the day. Like not assigning homework, or "equity grading," there is no accountability or rigor during or outside the school day, and students in such schools often end up advancing years in school while remaining academically stunted.

When her ill-prepared daughter finally went to a more academically focused school -- which was attended mostly by (spit) whites and (spit) Asians -- she found that her shithole school fake education left her woefully unprepared.

Her A's and B's at Unison amounted to failing grades in high school. She struggled to keep up with homework assignments and nightly reading, and because she "had never been taught the skills of independent study, ... suddenly the child whose identity had been the nerdy honors student was working harder than she ever had and barely keeping up."
An algebra tutoring center told Hannah-Jones that "Najya knew very little algebra and had huge gaps in many of the building blocks of math that she should have learned in elementary school, like mastery of long division and fractions."

Remember, the only problems here are "racism" and white people not paying enough in taxes to "resource" these schools properly. The problem is definitely not the destructive left-wing cult of "equity" that left-wing blacks have forced on their own children.

15 Remember, the only thing we need to do to improve failing schools is pay teachers more and give every student his own laptop.

It has nothing at all to do with ending all disciplining, suspension, and expulsion of chronically disruptive and even violent black students.

16 The other shocking statistic I have seen is how many public school teachers send their own children to private schools.

If one of the parents is a high earner, and they can afford a good private school in the area, THAT is where they send their own kids.

_____________________

Ummm....I know for a fact that I would not be allowed to visit schools in my area without a designated escort to and from the business office (or to what ever location I desired to see). It requires an appointment and supervision....and I was just dropping off items for a relative who had passed away which included 25 year old photos from in the classroom that I wanted to pass onto that graduated class for their upcoming Reunion.

Schools allowing strangers to just visit on a whim are insane (especially in a city setting). And, they certainly would have an escort.

Prior to joining the Army post college, both my dad and mom were teachers at a private school. My dad taught math and mom English.

Not only was my homework reviewed and graded it was then reviewed and graded by them. And every night at dinner we did math problems, geography, English and other frivolous stuff. Wasn't the biggest fan at the time but worth it.

I figure at least 90% of liberal excuses are women trying to justify their own horrific behavior. In a re-paganized society, it's jarring for them to suddenly be confronted with Christian morality, which they vaguely know, but utterly reject. That's where the whole "don't judge" thing comes in, because if there is judgement, they are going to burn.

66 This is child abuse to send her daughter to that school when she could afford the best for her.

Son #2 was having problems in kindergarten (public school in FL, a good school). The teacher was the same his brother had. I always volunteered once a week til 2nd grade.

I saw quickly that an apparent autistic or out of control girl was screaming for most of the day. I spoke to the assistant principal and had him transferred out and things got better within days for him. I was there for him, not being a Karen and screaming about the one girl as that was not my problem.

I don't deserve a Mother of the Year (or day) award but they always came first. In my career/jobs and everything around them til they were older. I could have been a big honcho at the med center but they came first vs a MS degree in nursing. Working full time was also not what I desired as I am a dingbat sloth first and foremost.

For this idiot to prove a racial point and donate her poor daughter to the cause is criminal.

78 There is an important datapoint that is being glossed over here.
Both Right and Left seem to be converging on the idea that school quality does not matter, On the Right, they claim good students do good wherever, and on the Left they claim that bad students are really good students who were oppressed.

The homework does not help achievement comes fro the Left, but then on the Right, just last night, I saw a bunch of posts on Twitter about how achievement of kids across different skills does not get a bump if they are admitted to the best schools. This looked at a couple studies from NYC exam schools -- the very best schools that test for admittance.

On the Right, I think a lot of it is an attempt to discredit the "systemic racism" claims, and on the Left I think it comes from an attempt to discount the poor performance of certain groups on that homework or tests.

It is interesting.

Tom Homan, following the 58th death in ICE custody: We're not gonna apologize. You can hate us all you want, we're not going anywhere. ICE will continue

67 illegal immigrants died in custody over Obama’s 8 years as President. He pushed for reform and lowered the death rate and improved conditions. Trump has killed 56 in just these first 2 years of this term and as you see in this video no reforms or apologies. They’re also raping and impregnating under this administration

Why did Obama have this evil fuck in his administration is what I need to know. That, and where’s the 50K bribe Tom?

How the people have not revolted against this lawless government will go down in history as a mystery.

Don't be surprised when this starts to happen to the I.C.E agents (image from 2020 LA Sheriff Ambush)

They are going to be fleeing to South America as soon as accountability comes out and they will be facing serious charges for the crimes!!!

Won't that be ironic that they are going to have to flee to South America where most of the people who they are deporting are from?

89 Now I'll admit I wasn't fantastic at math because it required the exact right answer. Even in the lower grades, too, you didn't get credit for doing the work correctly but then making an arithmetic mistake; oh, no, you had to have the exact figure. Under the pressure of tests, of course, you can get rattled, make an arithmetic blunder, and go off the rails. If we'd had calculators to check our work . . . but we didn't. And being nagged by my father did not help.

I was great at geometry because it involved logic and reasoning (more obviously, to me) than did algebra or basic arithmetic.

117 This girl and others like her should never graduate HS without being able to read or do math.

Mississippi (my home state) is mocked, but they did this right & kept back 3rd graders, black, white & purple, who should not advance years ago

I went to really good public schools in MS til the federal gubment got involved when we'd been integrated for over four years. None of us kids cared there were blacks at our school. Or, none I was aware of...and we are talking about a HS of 50 kids in each class.

The Feds changed school districts. This forced me & others to choose to skip our junior year by taking American Lit and History in summer school. I then had to go to a lily white private school I hated vs the all black school I was zoned to.

I went to a junior college, got some algebra, microbiology & other stuff (mostly English classes) and transferred to a huge university out of state.

Basically the Feds, not my parents, interferred with my edumacation and it is possibly nothing short of a miracle I got a college degree. Granted, speed reading and instant memory helped. Along with determination and my main goal of having a great time.

Regardless, this mother's actions are worse.

You watch the beginning of Goodfellas, and the kid skips school because it's bullshit and takes away from fun, making money and hanging out with the grown-ups treating him LIKE a grown-up. Now multiply that by your entire neighborhood, AND if you aren't in a gang, you're a target that gets beat up.

150 Best teacher I ever had was Mrs. Simmons. High school English. She called kids "Prince Charming" and "Slopface." She said at the beginning of the year that you could turn your homework in late--you'd get a zero mind you--but sure, turn it in. She also said that if you were in an accident on the way to school, give your homework to the ambulance driver because he probably had her for English and would know what to do.

No nonsense. She was the bomb. She is also the reason I know how to spell triskaidekaphobia.

In ninth grade we had a Japanese woman for English. (Mind you, this was only a little more than twenty years after WWII.) She liked my work, but was universally hated (including by me) because she insulted her students for no reason, calling us "You bright lights," and took all the joy out of reading and writing English.

156 I am reminded of the line, I believe attributed to Mark Twain, that people who do not read great books have no advantage iver peiple who can't read them.

Nicole Hannah-Jones had the opportunity to give her daughter a tip-notch education, even in that pit of despair tax money sink-hole she was attending, if she had actually paid attention and been a parent instead of dropping her responsibility on the local school district.

Not every parent really has the time or wherewithal to keep close tabs on their children's schooling, but Hannah-Jones did.

Her question, "In fighting for every black child, did I betray my own?" gets the entire premise wrong. If she was really honest with herself, the article would have been titled, "In sacrificing every black child's education on the altar of 'racial justice,' I bound my own daughter in the chains of failure."

165 My grandchildren go to Catholic private school. In a very good public school district. Their parent's choice and I am for it. I never tell them what to do with their kids (so far). Parents can afford it.

At least where they are the trans and gender confusion won't reach them. I know all the stuff about Catholic schools, yada, yada. It is a conservative school. High acedemics (I am shocked at our third grade boy's homework).

While he may find out this year there is no Santa Claus, he will not be in class with trans kids or kids who think they are kitty cats with a litter box required.

Our girl has already been in trouble in kindergarten. I am sorry my DNA has been passed on to her in looks and behavior. However, she's much smarter than probably 90% of her class, so there's that. She was also deprived of her best friend (who went to public school) and girls she knows (three classes for each grade). It's early so she may settle down (I don't know what she did to get in trouble and will ask her brother soon).

Supreme Court Now Okays Trump's Plan to Allow States to Use Federal Databases to Screen the Voter Lists for Ineligible Voters

The Supreme Court had previously joined in the left-wing plan to delay implementation of Trump's Executive Order until it was late enough in the season that they could claim it would cause "chaos" to implement it so late.

Now it blesses not a screening of mail-in ballots -- that would still cause "chaos," I guess -- but the simple use by states (at their discretion; left-wing governments won't screen ballots) of the Social Security databases to discover if a voter is a citizen or not.

So this is a weaker version of Trump's plan, which left-wing states won't even implement.

The Supreme Court on Friday cleared the way for the Trump administration to move forward with its plan to use a modified centralized database to verify voters' citizenship. In a seven-page opinion issued just 39 days before the Nov. 3, 2026, election, the justices paused a ruling by a federal judge in Washington, D.C., that had blocked the government from doing so on the ground that it violated (among other things) federal privacy laws.
The unsigned opinion for the majority indicated that the lower court's order "inhibits the Federal Government's efforts to assist state and local agencies in the proper administration of the midterm elections."
In a dissenting opinion joined by Justices Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson called Friday's decision a "questionable interim ruling[] about two statutory provisions" that the Supreme Court "has never before interpreted." She also contended that the majority "focuses only on the harms the Government will purportedly suffer absent a stay, disregarding the harms that the" use of the modified database "has caused, and will likely continue to cause, to lawful voters."

If you're surprised to see the left-wing minority dissent quoted more than the actual ruling of the court, you must be new here.

The dispute dates back to late March, when President Donald Trump issued an executive order that (among other things) directed the Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration to set up systems that would permit state and local governments to verify voters' citizenship and immigration status. Those agencies then modified the Department of Homeland Security's Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements database, known as the SAVE system, to include the records of U.S.-born citizens, to give it access to Social Security numbers, and to allow users to conduct multiple searches simultaneously.
...
Sooknanan wrote that "the federal government has knowingly trampled on the privacy rights of American citizens in a manner that threatens the sacred right to vote." Moreover, she continued, "states have partnered with the federal government to access the database and are actively removing United States citizens from voter rolls based on inaccurate information."

Boy lower court rulings sure are being highlighted here.

I wonder what the actual Supreme Court just ruled? You know, the actual newsorthy information?

...
U.S. Solicitor General D. John Sauer went to the Supreme Court on Sept. 8, asking the justices to freeze Sooknanan's ruling while the litigation continues. Sooknanan's decision, he wrote, was an "indefensible order that threatens the integrity of upcoming elections by vacating the federal government's authority to internally use Social Security data when fulfilling its duty to respond to requests by States to verify the citizenship of individuals for voting and other purposes." Moreover, he argued, Sooknanan did not have the power to enter her order because the challengers do not have a legal right to sue, known as standing. Among other things, he contended, the federal government is not the source of any injury that the challengers and their members might suffer, because the SAVE system "merely notifies the States whether the federal government can confirm citizenship."

I'm omitting the next three paragraphs, which extensively quote the plaintiff's arguments. Not a lot about the arguments that actually prevailed.

The majority rejected the challengers' contention that the use of the modified SAVE system violates the Social Security Act, the Privacy Act, and the federal law governing administrative agencies. It explained that in a federal immigration law enacted in 1996, "Congress ... separately and expressly authorized DHS to request and receive information relating to citizenship and immigration status from other agencies, including SSA."
The Supreme Court has also "often granted" review (another factor in determining whether to award emergency relief), the majority wrote, "where a lower court has set aside an important federal program" -- which, it appeared to suggest, the modified SAVE system is.
Moreover, the majority added, the federal government will suffer permanent harm (yet another factor that courts consider) if the district court's order remains in place. Under federal immigration law, the majority reasoned, "the Federal Government has an obligation to respond to requests from state and local election officials seeking to verify the citizenship of voters. The order below prevents the Federal Government from using the program it believes is best suited to the task."

That was a trick question. Both the anti-fracking and anti-GMO movements have been shown to have been funded by Russia.
They also are involved in a lot of the climate hysteria, brexit (which Russia supported, but mostly to harm the EU), and just about every movement that fractures European society or harms their industries and economies. The problem is, other than Brexit, the Left supports every damn one of the Russian lies because they too support destroying the West.

Blue states won't use this screening, but red states will.

This is potentially a big deal because there are competitive senate races and especially competitive house races in red states that could determine who swings the big dick in Congress.

Cutting down non-citizen voting fraud in these competitive elections could make it harder for Democraps to steal these elections.

That's why the Democraps were so desperate to shut this EO down.

What fucking planet do they live on???? Mail in ballots in most jurisdictions were totally handled by gov workers at centralized locations without any party oversight. Verification was completely automated, but done by Dominion and other software that was dialed down to allow everything. In most of these cities there simply are no Republican poll watchers as there is no effective Republican party so no, not two parties. During 2020, they had to "watch" from 6 feet away, they are banned from the counting room, they were sent home early due to lying about stopping for the day, and they were ignored when they raised the red flags.

Guessing half of Houston and Detroit will mysteriously be purged.

This is how this reads to me: "You can use this info. Go ahead and prevent people from voting. We'll determine if it was legal or not down the line. When it no longer matters."

The American experiment has failed. Death by a thousand kkkuts. 250 years was a good run

This should 1000% be ignored. This court has completely lost it's fucking mind. It's explicitly stated in the constitution the federal government doesn't have authority over elections.

These justices know there's a big desire among left voters to impeach several of them.

The democrats should declare a constitutional crisis and state that it’s an unlawful ruling. The justices and the court has no authority to defy the constitution or give the federal government the right to do it.

Start to move in a direction that doesn’t recognize the court as lawful, credible, or legit.

This will get appealed, which will delay it until the end of the election.

The quickest and easiest way to get the left to stop saying things like this is have a right wing district produce enough votes to win an election via an overnight "vote find".

Honestly I'd have fun with it. Specifically put a bunch of votes aside from your reddest stronghold, report initial numbers, then wait until all the blue districts are in THEN count the votes you put aside.

So he sits and says stuff that he know won't happen, but makes him feel good to say.

Facebook isn’t as strict moderation-wise as it used to be, but stricter than X for sure. Threads is still a sidepiece like Instagram. Facebook is for business and older people now anyhow.

Obama wants something more authoritative for the NPR left and their kind across the world so they can abandon X to the “far right” with Rumble and Truth.

Europe would probably jump on that in a heartbeat. So would Canada and Australia probably. It’s a censors dream.

Posted by: Sandy Cocazio

------------
The original lower court ruling not only said that Trump's post office could not require the use of federal databases to verify voters, but that no one could even use the databases if they wanted to. That was overreach.

This says states can use the federal databases if they like. No problem there, only it is not required. Dem states will still not use so they can continue to cheat.

I think, generally speaking, money comes to those who cannot do this. They are convinced of their own greatness... their own indispensability. The fact that they're rich proves in their minds that they are smarter than everyone else and so they must 'fix' things for the lesser beings.

If you disconnect from politics you are likely to wake up one morning and discover you are no longer rich and no longer own your island. Congress has a tendency to force people and organizations with money to pay attention.

179 The U.S. Maritime Administration (MARAD), which oversees the country's merchant marine fleet, has ordered SUNY Maritime College to send its training ship "Empire State" into federal service. The ship normally serves as a floating classroom for maritime cadets, however MARAD has the authority to activate these vessels up for national missions.

Empire State departs the Bronx campus September 30, arrives in Norfolk, Virginia October 1, and will spend a month there getting its flight deck certified before moving into a support role for the Navy. That role hasn't been confirmed. MARAD expects the mission to last about 170 days.

I'm now calling the dude Buns of Steel, and they will be after 3mo of PT. He moaned about this and he's going. The ortho doc did not seem impressed that a gluteal minimus muscle is hanging by shreds. So I won't be, either.

This doc is a team doc of pro teams. I was surprised my 72yo former runner wasn't delegated to a PA being over 50yrs. His nurse said she saw the note of my phone call and got him in.

I was Southern polite and must have sounded worried. It's a miracle we got to see The Man.

California Runs a "Shadow" Welfare System for Illegal Aliens

Remember, illegal aliens aren't eligible for welfare, so you Racists should stop peddling RUSSIAN MISINFORMATION and claiming they are.

But also, Gavin Newsom and California Democrats openly brag of giving welfare to illegal aliens, "legal or not."

California runs the nation's largest welfare system, devoting more than $180 billion annually to food, health care, and other programs for the poor and downtrodden. To sustain the arrangement, the state imposes the nation's highest tax rates.
In theory, these programs are supposed to help struggling Californians. In reality, many serve large numbers of illegal immigrants. Today, California oversees a shadow welfare system that allows noncitizens to receive health care, rental assistance, college grants, tax credits, low-cost car insurance, and even smartphones on the taxpayers' dime.
We visited four public-services offices in Southern California, each of which admitted that illegal aliens can enroll in public-welfare programs or receive benefits on their children's behalf. In total, California taxpayers spent at least $11 billion subsidizing illegal immigrants in the last fiscal year. The state's shadow welfare system, it seems, shows no signs of slowing down.
Local officials were remarkably transparent. In Glendale, we spoke to a welfare officer about California's Cash Assistance Program for Immigrants (CAPI), a state-funded alternative to Supplemental Security Income that provides monthly cash assistance to low-income noncitizens who are elderly or disabled.
"If [you are] a citizen, you cannot get CAPI," he said. "I don't care about legal or not. Not being [a] citizen [is the key]."
In Los Angeles, we heard more of the same. We asked another welfare officer about the benefits available to illegal immigrants and their children. While some state programs are closed to illegals, we learned, they are open to those aliens' U.S.-born children.
"If you were born here and the child was born here, you get money for two," the officer said of CalWORKs, the state's version of the federal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program. "Because she is not and the child is, she only gets money for the child, and not for her."
These benefits add up. In California, illegal immigrants can qualify for CAPI, public health insurance, and various tax credits. Their children qualify for others, including CalWORKs and, as in other states, Section 8 rental subsidies. All told, a family of five in California with two illegal-alien parents, two U.S.-born children, and one illegal-alien grandparent can receive public services worth more than $100,000 per year.
State leaders are proud of it. In a recent podcast episode, Governor Gavin Newsom bragged about his "controversial" decision to extend Medi-Cal coverage to illegal immigrants. His wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, encouraged people to sign up for the California Earned Income Tax Credit, a program whose promotional materials assure applicants that "no Social Security number" is "no problem."
The governor's office did not respond to our comment request by deadline.

Here's some better news: Trump is drastically reducing the number of (mostly fake) "refugees" in 2027.

And the left is going to hate this crop of refugees, because they're actually refugees.

The Trump administration plans to cap next year's refugee inflow at 17,500 people, down from the 125,000 target set under President Joe Biden.
The State Department laid out the plan in a notice sent to Congress on Tuesday, a week before the 2027 fiscal year opens in October. Admissions will "primarily be Afrikaners from South Africa," the notice says, naming the Afrikaans-speaking white minority descended from Dutch and French settlers.
Biden's agencies set the 125,000 target in his last year in office. Resettlement contractors put the long-run average at roughly 92,000 a year since the program started in 1980. Trump's first term bottomed out at 15,000.
The administration set last year's ceiling at 7,500, then lifted it to 17,500 after declaring that unforeseen developments in South Africa had created an emergency. Next year's number holds at that level.

Resettlement contractors?

Illegal immigration is the single biggest industry in the country. Bigger than apple. Bigger than google. Bigger than probably the entire S&P 100.

There are trillions of dollars being showered on illegals and their remoras and diasporas. Most of this money is subject to almost no oversight or limitation. It's just poured out the window.

The politicians, NGOs, "non-profits," "contractors," influencers, and god-knows-who-else all get a nice fat slice of the luce.

As we have seen in the last two years the fed can't even police it's own programs for theft and fraud, so there is no way they are going to investigate the individual states finances.

40 Trump administration to welcome up to 17,500 more White South Africans as refugees

Trump is racist and a certified White Nationalist. It is a mortal sin to vote for GOP this November if you hate racism.

Trump doesn't give a crap about South Africans. This is all Musk's doing. Same difference when billionaires control Trump's policy, but still.

Ahhh the oppressed Caucasian Neandertal European in South Africa. So to be clear, bringing in immigrants for votes?

Trump decolonizing South Africa was not on my bingo card. I also didn't expect him to do so much to fight climate change! Can't pollute the environment if you can't afford to buy gas!

these aren't just 17,500 Afrikaners. These are the Afrikaners who despite being at the top and wealthiest parts of South African Culture are fleeing SOLELY because they can't fathom being treated the same as a Black person.

42 This is an interesting story. The actual details of the harassment seem murky and not particularly dramatic. I sense an op to get rid of a guy -- spit! -- who is now more trouble than he's worth. Caldwell is a black guy who helped the whiter-than-milk-in-snow Mikie Sherrill with the substantial black populations in places like Newark and Camden. Once she won, he was expendable. I hope Caldwell tells her to suck a fat dick.

Democratic New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill called on her running mate, Lt. Governor Dale Caldwell, to resign over an investigation into allegations of sexual harassment.

“The investigation found that the Lieutenant Governor engaged in serious, repeated violations of state policy and failed to uphold the responsibilities of his office,” Sherrill said Thursday. “The substantiated finding of sexual harassment is extremely troubling,” she added.

46 This article doesn't even cover all the welfare "income" illegals get are are entitled to.

There are tons of "off the books" benefits run by nonprofits (many of which get state funding) that dole out all sorts of assistance, often to illegals.

Example 1:

PG&E (the state'e utility company) provides huge discounts for anyone who claims to be "low income" -- without needing to provide any proof -- including debt forgiveness (meaning you ultimately don't have to pay for electricity + gas at all). The notifications for this program are printed in Spanish, Vietnamese, Hmong, Arabic, Chinese and Amharic.

Example #2:

Every major urban area has several "food insecurity" nonprofits that dole out mountains of donated food weekly. No ID required, no proof of low-income status, no proof of residency, etc. And as has been complained about and documented multiple times up and down the state, these handouts are often overrun by non-English speakers who drive up in Escalades and F150s, and load up as much as they can carry, every single day the pantries are open. The the food ends up for sale in flea markets and the streets of LA and SF, or used as the stock to make restaurant food.

The foundational assumption underlying the State of California's "free welfare for illegals" policies is:

Illegal aliens are poor and starving.

But of course the opposite is true.
ru
90% of construction workers, gardeners, handymen and landscapers in California are Spanish speakers. That that are citizens must PAY TAXES on their income Those that are illegals (i.e. the majority of them) generally insist on getting paid in cash and thus PAY NO TAXES on their income. It's all off the books. As a result, illegals have a massive financial advantage over citizens who follow the rules, and are often must better off.

But you can't hold a whole state responsible for the behavior of a few, sick twisted individuals. For if you do, then shouldn't we blame the whole welfare system?

"Between October 2025 and March 2026, 4,499 refugees were admitted into the U.S.; all but three were white South Africans, with over half arriving in February and March;[20] by August 2026, that had number increased to a total of 12,901 South Africans (and only three refugees from Afghanistan).[21][22]

By mid-2026, dozens of applicants to the White South African refugee programme had been rejected, although the total number of unsuccessful applications was unclear. Some rejection notices cited criminal histories or public-safety concerns, and the decisions could not be appealed.[23]"

In Zimbabwe they killed or chased off the white farmers. The argument was they were getting rich off of the natives so if you gave the land to the natives they would be the ones to get rich and everyone would still have enough food.

That turned out to be...wrong.

Recent developments include a $3.5 billion compensation deal agreed in 2020 under President Emmerson Mnangagwa, with the first payments made in April 2025 to 378 farms. The government has also offered to return land to foreign nationals (mostly Dutch, British, and German) and allows white farmers to lease land from black owners, with nearly 1,000 white farmers reported to be back on the land as of 2024. However, many exiled farmers remain skeptical, citing lack of trust in government commitments and the need for constitutional protections and capital to restart farming.

I'd want more than "constitutional protections".

I plan to see no one but the man who is stuck with me for life. It's all good. I might have a martini on the deck and blast rock and roll later.

Totally back to zombie life after son/DIL flew home to FL yesterday. Our drive to the top of a mountain this morning completes what we planned.

Fixing to make dinner (Greek spiced beef/veg pitas with tzatziki sauce, which look good and super easy).

Back in the mid 90s when I was in college, I lived in a house owned by the proprietor of the best Chinese restaurant in Santa Barbara. SERIOUSLY good food. The house was a flophouse that he kept mostly for his Chinese workers (almost certainly illegals, given the cheap rent). The landlord was kind of a nice guy, but his wife was a stereotypical dragon lady.

Well, about a year or so after I moved out, INS and the FBI busted him for being a major importer of illegals from China. He got caught while driving up north trying to catch a flight out of Frisco. His wife had already skipped town and beat the Feds to the punch. She basically abandoned him to his fate. He ended up getting about 10 years in prison, and his wife was never seen in the US again.

The restaurant, which had continuously won local "best Chinese restaurant" awards for something like 12 straight years, closed down immediately and never reopened.

The problem with California is that all these revelations are like catnip to voters here. They WANT to fund illegals, and line up to support any politicians who arranges more fraud to benefit illegals.

If you asked a typical white California Democrat, "Would you willingly pay more taxes to fund welfare for illegals?", you get a resounding "YES!". In fact, the far-left super-majority in the state's legislature is proof of that.

I used to go to a few in the area and they were all like that -- nothing but illegal help. Only the owners spoke English. At the time we figured they flew in on tourist visas and just overstayed -- Think how cheap that is for the owner - no insurance, no tax, no withholding, .... just cheap room.

203 Those that are illegals (i.e. the majority of them) generally insist on getting paid in cash and thus PAY NO TAXES on their income. It's all off the books. As a result, illegals have a massive financial advantage over citizens who follow the rules, and are often must better off.

So you may ask, how did the contractor fall upon so much cash and and avoid banking scrutiny?

Simple. A lot of home building, particularly flipping, is a money laundering operation. A drug dealer obtains a house, pays labor and suppliers in drug cash, turns house over and make large profit, the money has been laundered and now can make larger home purchases. Wash, Rinse, Repeat.

This is how a drug dealer can easily convert cash into legit portfolios.

Transgender Activists Say That Men Stealing Gold Medals from Women "Just Isn't a Thing That Really Happens."
A New Report Says that Men Have Stolen 2,300 Gold Medals from Women Over The Past 40 Years.

These things that never happen sure do seem to happen an awful lot.

Transgender athletes have stripped women and girls of nearly 2,300 gold medals and more than $500,000 in prize money over the past four decades, according to an analysis from a conservative think tank.
Athletes competing in sports events that don't match their birth sex have bumped biological women out of championship spots 2,293 times since the mid-1980s, according to the evangelical-leaning public policy nonprofit, Concerned Women for America.
...
The group also found that trans athletes, who were born "male," have "stolen" $501,498 in prize money from women and girls in professional sports.
For the report , the think tank analyzed data from a HeCheated.org, a volunteer-run online database that documents instances of trans women athletes participating in female sports events.
In total, it reportedly found they have competed in more than 14,301 female sporting events, including amateur and professional.
...
High school long jumper AB Hernandez also sparked outrage in May after the trans teen, who was born male, dominated multiple girls track and field events at a California regional event.

Male cheaters stealing medals and scholarships from actual female athletes was the subject of a Senate hearing, which Democrats, of course, denounced and then completely boycotted.

"Women were last to get the vote, to participate in professions, to serve on juries, [and] get credit cards in their own names," said Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa. "Women should not be asked again to cede their opportunities just to make men comfortable," trading "their gold medals for [participation] trophies."
It's no "coincidence" that male participation in women's sports is growing amid viewership records and rising pay, Grassley said, crediting his home state's basketball legend Caitlin Clark for the spike in WNBA player salaries in this year's collective bargaining agreement.
...
Republicans repeatedly harped on Democrats for taking their ball and going home rather than hear out the witnesses. The panel's top Democrat, Illinois's Dick Durbin, said the issue is a low priority for Americans and called the hearing a "vendetta" against a tiny minority before leaving.
Moody trashed House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries for calling the GOP's Protection of Women and Girls in Sports Act the "Child Predator Empowerment Act," based on activist talking points and false reporting that sex verification requires genital inspection.
Ceding a podium to a male has become an "institutionalized, sanctioned humiliation ritual" for female athletes, said Independent Council on Women's Sports cofounder Kim Jones, once an All-American tennis player at Stanford. Her daughter competed against and shared a locker room with male swimmer Lia Thomas, who famously took a trophy from Riley Gaines.

A couple of clips from that hearing are below the fold.

By the way, the reporter for that article notes that the Senate is currently allowing a bill to protect women in sports to languish without being passed. He points out that Republican senators never mentioned that bill -- choosing, as usual, rhetoric and sound-bites over actual action.

Fair point.

A former therapist at a Welsh gender clinic reports that the "diagnostic criteria" to "screen" kids (and adults) for "transgendeismr" is designed to basically screen in everybody.

Serious and obvious mental illnesses are routinely ignored so that the pre-determined diagnosis of "gender dysphoria" can be officially entered.

For the first six months or so, despite thinking it was "a bit odd", Anna went along with it. Eventually she started raising questions. "My concerns were that somebody could meet the diagnostic criteria for gender dysphoria or transsexualism, but it wasn't about gender. Somebody I remember very, very clearly, was a young woman, who was identifying as a man. She had very large breasts, and she wanted cross-sex hormones. She wanted testosterone and she wanted her breasts to be removed. Okay. But her history was that she had been sexually abused for many years by her father, and the sexual abuse was around her breasts. It's so bloody obvious. I could stand next to somebody at a bus stop and say "What do you think of that?" And they'd say, "Of course you'd need to think about the sexual abuse." Of course you would. But at the gender clinic, she met the diagnostic criteria for gender dysphoria. So she went through."
Anna also quickly became aware that "about 50%" of the clinic's referrals had a diagnosis of autism. "But I would guess a further 20%, maybe more, had undiagnosed autism or something very similar. They had very fixed beliefs, eg if I feel uncomfortable in my body, then I need to be somebody else. Things were expressed in a very concrete way: If I become a man, if I become a woman, if I get this such-and-such removed, that's going to solve my problems."
...
Anna thought her job was "exploration", but this was "hardly done at all. It was done a bit, but hardly at all. The overriding thing was, do they meet the diagnostic criteria? And I suppose I kept saying, till I was blue in the face, you can meet the diagnostic criteria, but it's not about gender. It's about other things."

Like autism, schizophrenia, previous sexual abuse -- all ignored, with therapists directed to just keep checking the literal check boxes for gender dysphoria.

...
As for the women... "I would sit and almost want to weep because a young woman would come in and say "Oh, well, I'm not into dresses, I'm not feminine, I'm attracted to other women. So I'm wondering whether actually I am a man?" And I would think you're a lesbian. You're a gay woman. But again, they'd meet the diagnostic criteria. So...."

Yikes on bikes, obviously the correct diagnosis is "Lesbianism with complicating long covid."

This is the worst part, which I hadn't heard before, though I guess it's obvious.

Puberty blockers stop the maturation of the body -- and the brain.

She says that kids given puberty blockers remain child-minded even as they become young adults.

Another chilling example Anna gave was her experience of dealing with 18 year olds who had been put on puberty blockers whilst at the Tavistock children's gender clinic. "Because they'd been on puberty blockers, it felt like being in the room with a 13 or 14 year old. Cognitively and emotionally, it felt like somebody much younger to the point where, as a team, it felt like we were working in an adolescent service. But we were an adult service. I'd never worked with adolescents. It's a different field. So I suppose we were... I wouldn't say out of our depth, but it was uncomfortable."
I pick Anna up on the point about cognition. Was she saying that these teenagers' mental development had slowed?
"Totally, yeah. Totally. And I can remember we had a training session with some of the endocrinologists from the Tavistock children's gender identity service. And I put that to them and they went, "No, no, no. There's no evidence for that." I said, "well, that's what I'm seeing", but they were just: "No, no, no. That's not a thing"."

14 "The group also found that trans athletes, who were born 'male,' have 'stolen' $501,498 in prize money from women and girls in professional sports."

Oh, it's way more than that. $500k might be the amount directly stolen from real women in head-to-head competition. (Although even that seems low.) For example, the winner of a competition wins $5k and a tranny beats a real woman.

But the total amount is much higher and impossible to calculate, because it can't calculate how much is lost or stolen by trannies further up the chain. If a tranny beats you in competition X, then the tranny goes on to further competitions, while you often don't.

The entire sports of boxing and other contact sports are based on this kind of "winner goes on to bigger things" method.

No wonder it's upside down retard world, with the tiny majority of these freaks/weirdos roaming and Karen's protecting them.

No mention of the lesbo radical wimmen "mothers" who want attention of their pride of having a trans kid or three. Their pride of being lesbo is so last century.

My theory is that they did not get the sex of a baby they wanted so Felix will become Felicia whether Felix wants it or not. With two mommies it's easy!

The mommies then garner more attention and empathy from Felicia/she/her. It starts as a type of Munchausen's and ends with Felicia killing himself with a fake surgical vagina.

25 The prize money missed over four decades is $500,000, but that is a portion of the money lost by women. There are quite a few occurrences where women miss the podium, or miss qualification in sports across the spectrum.

Colleges, of course, have a significant amount of sports scholarship money to hand out (actually orchestrated to match the amount that men can receive in many colleges). Standing on the podium at Nationals, or States opens up the checkbook by a college. Coming in 4th does not. So, $500,000 over four decades is just a fraction of the real money involved.

I would patiently wait til trans got his medal then choke him with it. When he's unconcious I'd whip his swimsuit off to reveal dat's a man. Granted it would be a tiny man part, but it would be on camera.

These weirdos can't win in their own lane of men and have to do this when not peering at little girls in bathrooms.

It's been proven that men can obviously beat women at sports and lifting weights and other stuff like trying to become a Navy Seal. It's how we are made and God's plan.

66 Let me take you Morons back to 1975:

Following her gender-affirming surgery and transition in 1975, Dr. Renee Richards moved to Newport Beach, California, seeking a private life where she could practice ophthalmology. Wanting to play competitive tennis without drawing attention to her past, she entered local women's amateur tournaments using the assumed name “Renée Clark” (sometimes reported as "Renée Clarke").

Her attempt at anonymity effectively ended in July 1976 after she won the La Jolla Tennis Championships in California. A local television reporter named Richard Carlson noticed her dominant play and 6-foot-2 frame, investigated her background, and publicly outed her on television as the former men's amateur player Dr. Richard Raskind. This exposure catalyzed her subsequent historic legal battle to play as a woman in the 1977 US Open.

Those creating trannies should have to spend some quality time with Old Sparky. Esp those mutilating children and minors.

So many things could be solved to the betterment of practically everyone by simply holding the line on common sense.

Tangentially , you know where else this is happening? The fashion world. Elon Musk's trans kid is now a top runway and print model. And so is Naomi Watts's trans son, who was just declared the Breakout Model of the Year. His runway walk looks like he's got weights on his ankles and a bayonet in his back. And Victoria's Secret had them now, too, including in that runway show.

With all the beautiful women trying to enter the fashion industry, this is what they promote.

Posted by: nckate at September 25, 2026 02:05 PM (enNUy)

Boys & men are no longer allowed to have their own spaces. At least not at an organizational level like clubs, scouting, etc.

Boys were never clamoring to get into the Brownies, Girl Scouts, or the local YWCA, until now, and they have to turn themselves into women to get in them.

Some women got their way and forced themselves in to segregated areas everywhere and Co-ed became a thing.

Not that the worm has turned, women are finally starting to understand why sex segregated places existed, for good reasons, in the first place.

122 Bottom line: Women's sports (with very very very few exceptions) are nothing more than inclusion and patronization. They are the Junior Varsity team in almost every situational sport.

That being said, I am not against women's sports. Sports are a great place to learn life's lessons. And, handled properly they can be an inspiration for young girls. But, from a competitive perspective, they are a sham of inclusion.

133 James Talarico says he opposes trans athletes in girls’ sports 'if it risks safety or fairness' this is a tiresome and worrying trend how some Dems throwing LGBTQ+ under the bus to score some red votes. I believe he's saying this just for votes, similar with Obama and gay marriage during his campaign, but still...

It's a needless route for some sort of political "brownie points" this year, when these people are already winning their races on the economy and Trump's insanity alone

Folks tend to forget Obama was initially against gay marriage. He changed his stance during the election for his second term.

This is a great politician's answer. There's no evidence trans athletes harm anyone's safety or fairness so he's not bound to regress trans rights in any way, while at the same time cutting off the arguments of concern trolls who want the entire election to be about a queer panic.

Obama opposed gay marriage until he didn’t. This isn’t the end of the world. It’ll get him more Indy votes, and no Dems are going to not vote for him because of this. A vote isn’t a love letter, it’s a chess move.

Yes, I think it was always a small part of the female population who wanted what came with feminism.

That small group of women who had convinced themselves that they needed to be in power, because they weren’t the type to stay at home and take care of the family. Then proceeded to use female psychology on other females to eventually convince a majority that they are all just alike and want the same things (social media is the perfect playground for this today).

All the doors had to be broken through because the “good ol’ boys clubs” would never relinquish that power, and good ol’ boys all start as actual boys and brotherhood(s) must be nipped in the bud.

Even 350's a stretch. Baarsch was only rated in the 200s due to a fluke win against the 12th seed in the 1997 Australian Open the year before. (And he lost the Open in the 3rd round.) But that single win pushed him up 257 places from 488 to 231.

And he also played under hobbled rules; the Williams sisters were allowed faults (second serves), and Baarsch was not, etc.

Two-Tiered Justice: Leftwing DAs Give Illegal Aliens Immunity for Major Crimes So That They Won't Be Deported

I wrote about this briefly in Quick Hits yesterday or the day before.

Just the News has a more detailed article.

Illegal aliens are first-tier citizens, somehow. Actual US citizens are second-tier, at best.

Ashe Short:

District attorneys across the country are accused of providing illegal immigrants preferential treatment when they commit crimes, allowing them to remain free in the country and put U.S. citizens' lives at risk. The related reports seem to indicate that when the arrested person is a U.S. citizen, they are denied much of the leniency shown to illegal immigrants accused of the same crime.
The House Judiciary Committee and its Immigration Subcommittee released a report this week detailing how Arlington County, Virginia's Commonwealth's Attorney, Parisa Dehghani-Tafti, "obstructs the enforcement of federal immigration law and shields foreign national criminals from accountability." Dehghani-Tafti's campaign received $515,000 from George Soros-affiliated political entities, Fox News reported last October.
...
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) data contained within the report showed that sanctuary jurisdictions -- cities that have vowed not to work with ICE -- have declined at least 41,085 detainers between Oct. 2022 and early 2026.
The Judiciary Committee's report included testimony from Dehghani-Tafti about her office's policy to shift outcomes for Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) recipients charged with Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) to ensure they don't lose their DACA status. "This policy ensures that certain foreign nationals are never convicted of DWI in Arlington County, [Virginia] solely due to their status as non-U.S. citizens," the Committee wrote.
...
Arlington County's refusal to work with ICE also extends to cases involving felons and terrorists, the Committee found.

See the article for Harmeet Dhillon's investigation into scumbag Soros prosecutor Steve Descano, who let out an illegal alien who promptly committed murder. Discriminating against US citizens is a constitutional conspiracy against civil rights.

Across the country in Boulder County, Colorado, District Attorney Michael Dougherty's published policy states that prosecutors in his jurisdiction must consider collateral effects when it comes to illegal immigrants committing certain crimes....
...
In 2017, illegal immigrant Ever Valles shot and killed 32-year-old landscaper Timothy Cruz. Valles had previously been protected from an ICE detainer when he was released from prison without officials informing ICE, per sanctuary city policy.
...
Philadelphia's DA Larry Krasner also uses the policy that "low-level and nonviolent crimes should not lead to deportation or necessarily risk one's immigration status." Jordan also subpoenaed his office in May.
"In fact, you created an Immigration Counsel position within your office to evaluate cases involving non-U.S. citizens so that foreign nationals 'can avoid unnecessary and unjust consequences' -- in other words, to shield criminal aliens from deportation," Jordan wrote. "You also openly boast about how your policies have resulted in criminal aliens being released onto Philadelphia streets, free to reoffend. Even in cases involving murder or crimes against minors, a prosecutor in your office may still consider a criminal alien's potential deportation or other immigration consequences in making prosecution decisions."

23 This is not just as US issue. It's happening in very country in the West. Hell, in Canada they specifically refer to undercharging due to immigrant issues as "candy sentences." Judges will not only take it into consideration when handing down a sentence, they will highlight that decision making process in their Order. The UK does the very same thing if they make an arrest at all. The automatic sentencing threshold for automatic deportation is 12 months or more. So, the unfairness applied is blatantly obvious. Serious and violent crimes are being paroled or under one year incarceration just to avoid triggering the automatic deportation.

It's disgusting.

Probably neither, though I think that depends if we win this November and if the Democrats receive a real political drubbing with unexpected losses and such.

If the Democrats lose badly, then expect them to do a complete about face in all but the bluest shitholes. They'll suddenly become all about Mom, apple pie, the Flag, Law and Order.

They'll need a new Bill Clinton for '28 because all of their current crop of pols are all tainted by insane-trannie-commie-racist-criminal doo-doo.

There may be some violence but the Dims will stomp that out quickly. They can't get their graft if they don't win and they won't win if they're hated or feared or believed to be insane.

Of course, we can only win if we all get out and vote.

________

The justification is always based on "minor, non-violent offenses" that shouldn't result in deportation. I don't agree with that at all, but that has at least some germ of reasonableness.

Of course, the policy ends up protecting hardcore criminals and violent lunatics too.

Why? Because the left generates yuge money and power from illegals. Probably 50% of the entire economy -- including political donors -- in some blue cities are based on illegals and the welfare and benefits paid to them.

I'm convinced that 30% of the entire economy of the state of CA is based on illegals and their remoras.

Contrary to above opinions, I'm not sweating bullets about the outcome of yet another "most important election ever". Because it doesn't matter in the macro.

The trends are the trends. All that matters is action. And we're seeing an undeniable growth in the number of Socialists/Communists willing to take tangible action. And we're certainly seeing an marked increase in the Judiciary's willingness to protect them.

One election, or even a few, are not going to change that. Elections will not change that trend.

85 This tells me the Democrats are at the point they cannot afford to bleed many more Hispanic voters to Republicans. Or not vote. Hispanics outnumber blacks in more and more places. The Dems need to keep their core Hispanic voters on-board and energized to vote. Get them energized to be against Trump no matter what Trump delivers for them economically.

As for the situation in foreign nations, I believe it is similar. Use open borders to Third-World rabble while calling open borders opponents Nazis, as the means means to keep their hard-core Leftists supporters on-board and voting for this issue alone.

Personally, I don't think its the mixed-race thing at all. It is, however, a complete failure of the "nation of immigrants" bullshit.

We have no common culture. And common culture, as much as anything, is what unifies a nation. We don't have it.

Almost 60% of the total population growth of the USA since 2000 was hispanics.

I would say -- not joking -- that just the illegal hispanic population is 20%. The total hispanic population is easily 35%.

While illegals are often considered just a blue state or blue city thing, the reality is illegals are everywhere. They are a national cancer.

120 A couple of years ago, my car got rear ended in downtown Atlanta. The other driver was an immigrant, he didn't have a valid driver's license or ID, he didn't have any proof of insurance, and the car was registered in somebody else's name. The Atlanta police came to the accident, but he wasn't arrested or given a ticket.

I had to report the accident to my insurance. They tried to get the accident report from the Atlanta PD but there was no record of it. It's like it never happened, except I had to pay the $1000 deductible for $3000 of damage to my car.

A few years earlier, I went through a police checkpoint, where they stopped everyone and asked for driver's license and proof of insurance. My insurance was up to date, but the card in my wallet was old. I still got a ticket and had to go to court to show the judge that I had insurance.

Alex Soros has replaced him as the face of the operation.

And there are dozens of billionaires who have followed the Soros model.

The time to stop Soros would have been the early 2000s before he started doing real damage across the West, but few people knew who he was back then other than fellow speculators/finance types and the Democrats who were getting his money early - Hillary & Obama being the biggest names on the list.

Cambridge University: We Have Cancelled Our Promised Investigation Into How Unqualified Fabulist Jason Arday Was Hired. Instead We Will Investigate How We Failed to "Support" Him and Other DEI Incompetents and Plagiarists.

Of course, perfect.

No notes.

Cambridge University has decided against investigating how and why the late professor Jason Arday was hired despite his lack of qualifications and will instead look into whether staff offered him sufficient support after he was accused of plagiarizing large sections of his published work and fabricating a series of personal achievements.
...
The day before Arday's death, Cambridge pledged to investigate "the circumstances around his appointment" in response to evidence that he plagiarized portions of his doctoral thesis and made highly dubious claims about his personal life. "That investigation must be thorough and transparent, and will be carried out independently by senior academics from within and beyond Cambridge," Vice-Chancellor Deborah Prentice wrote.
...

Former prosecutor Nazir Afzal, who is tasked with leading the new investigation, said recently that the probe is "not about the allegations made against Professor Arday or about his academic record" and will instead focus on "his welfare, his care, his well-being."

Defund, de-certify, destroy.

22 In fairness, no investigation into his hiring is needed. We already know exactly how and why he was hired: the exact same way every one of these DEI retarded incompetents are hired.

In this case, I use the word "retarded" in its medical sense. You can tell from the interviews of this guy, and his speeches, that he was not even close to playing with a full deck.

Cambridge was so pathologically desperate for DEI cred and virtue-signaling that they hired a suicidal, mentally-ill rando nobody with less qualifications than the bloke manning the fryer at the local fish-and-chips place.

As Crowder has said, the point of "Change my Mind" was not to shame students, but to ultimately shame the faculty at the schools he went to. They are often participating in a hivemind that demonizes actual debate and discourse. And as Stephen has said, if you're afraid to debate me, and I'm a moron comedian, then academia is REALLY cooked.

Winehouse was a trainwreck headed for an OD or suicide from the get. But in fairness, her demise was heavily aided by her nigh-evil scumbag father who was leeching off her mercilessly.

And basically everyone else besides a few friends she had since childhood.

There's video of her towards the end where she is so emaciated, so frail, so drugged and strung out, and so obviously with one foot in the grave, that anyone with half a brain or half a heart would be like "girl, you are dying, take a chill."

But instead, the father and everyone leeching off her pushed her out into another tour.

123 Maxine Waters has been officially declared a "disassociated member" of the House after 45 days of absence. Under Article 3, Section 7, Speaker Mike Johnson can now call for her removal by simple majority vote.
Posted by: Diogenes

The term "disassociated member" is not a legal or constitutional status for members of the U.S. House of Representatives; it is a term typically defined in business entities (like LLCs) to describe a member who has ceased to be part of the company due to events like death, bankruptcy, or transfer of interest. Claims that Representative Maxine Waters was declared a "disassociated member" after 45 days of absence are false and refer to a non-existent rule.

Possibly not. The left was furiously trying to stop this, so they clearly fear it. This database verification doesn't seem to require any new infrastructure or states' cooperation like the much more ambitious USPS regs on mail-in ballots.

So, it could possibly be a factor in 2026. But even if not, a lot of what Trump is doing is aimed more at the much bigger prize in 2028.

It would end with 80%+ of existing universities closing, a large contingent of unemployable "studies" professors, a complete dismissal of degrees in underwater-basket-weaving, a young adult population who would be employable, hundreds of billions of dollars of savings in Federal outlays, the defanging of teachers' unions, a resurgence of education (as opposed to minority chair-warming) at all levels of pre-college schooling.

Those are just off the top of my head. But we'll never make such demands, and even if we do we will never stay focused long enough for any of that to happen.

THE MORNING RANT: The Awful Precedent of the Clancy Trial’s Juror-Harassment

A terrifying precedent was set in the Lindsay Clancy trial, as Boston media outlets engaged in a multi-prong hit job on the lone juror who refused to acquit Mrs. Clancy for the murder of her children.

Going forward, any juror who remains true to his conscience and doesn’t submit to the mob knows that the media may dox him. Every negative event in his life could be exposed, and the media has now shown that it will provide identifying information to activists who wish to harass or harm a “wrongthink” juror.

The media has normalized putting jurors themselves on trial if they don’t issue the “correct” verdict.

Can you imaging being a juror in a trial involving a drug cartel? With the Clancy precedent, any juror who convicts a cartel member can have his life and address exposed for convicting a “migrant dreamer” who got a little sideways with the law.

Boston Herald Opinion columnist Wendy Murphy started an editorial with these chilling words: “Now that the holdout juror in the Lindsay Clancy case is getting the negative attention he deserves…”

”…the negative attention he deserves…” spoken about a juror by a mainstream media outlet is a terrifying thing to read. These are the words you’d expect from a foot soldier for the likes of Mao or Stalin.

Meanwhile, Ryan Kath of “NBC 10” in Boston decided to dig up and publicize criminal “allegations” against the juror, even though there was not an actual criminal record. Mr. Kath also reported on family gossip regarding the juror, and Kath even found it newsworthy that the targeted juror was late in making rent payments. This is juror intimidation, and the message is clear about the punishment that awaits future jurors who won’t betray their conscience to reach the media’s preferred verdict.

“Domestic violence allegations raise questions about holdout juror in Lindsay Clancy trial” [NBC Boston – 9/11/2026]

The NBC10 Boston Investigators are uncovering new details about the lone holdout juror from the Lindsay Clancy murder trial. Court documents and interviews with family members reveal a history of domestic violence allegations. We discovered a pending eviction case tied to months of not paying rent.

A story the @NBC10Boston Investigators have been piecing together all week:
Domestic violence allegations and eviction records raise questions about the lone holdout juror in the Lindsay Clancy trial https://t.co/Y6iN9EfoOa
— Ryan Kath (@RyanNBCBoston) September 11, 2026

Suffice it to say, NBC 10 Boston did not investigate any criminal allegations or financial delinquency of the jurors who voted “correctly.” Message received. The privacy and anonymity of the jury room has been invaded by the hostile media.

As a young man several decades back, I was on a jury in which we found the defendant guilty of aggravated manslaughter. He and his partner were shoplifting goods for a fencing ring, and when a security guard pursued them into the parking lot and tried to block their panel van from getting away, the defendant (who was driving) ran the security guard over, killing him. (The other shoplifter pleaded out to a lesser charge.) Knowing that the defendant who I sent to jail was part of a larger criminal ring, I was a little concerned for my safety if my name were to be released. The judge assured us jurors that our anonymity would be protected, and the media back in the day respected it. That is clearly not the case any longer.

Jury duty is a necessary act of citizenship – one that too many good people try to avoid. But if honorable people who don’t want the worst day of their lives exposed by the media are made to fear serving on a jury, fair trials will be a thing of the past.

While it is against the law in most states to threaten, intimidate or harass jurors, it is generally not specifically illegal to disclose their names. Therefore, it is effectively legal for the media to dox jurors so that their political allies can inflict street punishment. The next time a Daniel Penny or Kyle Rittenhouse is railroaded into a murder trial, we can expect the full force of the national media to intimidate any juror who won’t convict.

This has to stop. Jurors must not fear retribution for being the target of media opprobrium. Red states need to codify that it is illegal for the media to reveal jurors names and personal information, and if we ever get a Republican Congress that is capable of actually passing laws, it too should pass legislation on a national basis to protect jurors from media doxxing.

This is the goal. They have DAs that don't want to pursue charges against the "wrong" type of criminals. They have judges that are more than happy to comply with this. The only thing left is the jurors, and if they can control them, they control the entire process, and even using voir dire to eliminate the most "troubling" juror prospects is not good enough for them; they need to control 100% of the process.

If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church. I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren? But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.

I rewatched Poirot last night, Murder at Sea. Poirot "tricks" the murderer, her husband, into confessing. Another woman who had a crush on the murderer, tells Poirot disapprovingly, it was a very dirty trick you played on him.

Poirot looks her dead in the eye and says in a chilling tone, "I do not approve of murder."

Poirot cares not for feelings, but facts. And the fact is there was a murder and there needs to be justice.

There, in a nutshell, lies the problem with the Clancy case. Those defending Clancy due to mental illness, and aggressively doxxing the juror, seem to approve of murder. And were upset the juror just could not get over the deaths of three kids in their rush to lionize Clancy.

Yet being hypocrites, they use the Constitution (and the Bible) as weapons against political opponents.

If a new Leftist Constitution is ever enacted, feelz of the day will be the law. It will result in a form of totalitarian Sharia Law.

128 While it is against the law in most states to threaten, intimidate or harass jurors, it is generally not specifically illegal to disclose their names. Therefore, it is effectively legal for the media to dox jurors so that their political allies can inflict street punishment

Surely there is some way to turn this into incitement or conspiracy to threaten, intimidate, or harass, by suing the media outlets.

130 If Clancy's mental illness is due to postpartum psychosis, and in the past always cleared up, then I'd assume a "not guilty by reason of insanity" verdict would get her to a mental facility where she would be swifty cleared to return back into public life. We have no guarantee she's be locked up for life, which she should be. Prisoners can receive mental health treatment in prison as well.

She should also possibly be court ordered to be sterilized, as having babies put her in a bad mental state each time, and there is a risk of her being a repeat offender should she get pregnant again. But as we know, the left only wants to sterilize teenagers questioning their gender, so...

134 One of the issues I had about the media obsessing whether the juror lied on his form or not (He must have lied, OMG!) is the Occam's Razor solution of, of COURSE he didn't lie on the jury form. Because he would have assumed that saying he'd been arrested (but not convicted of) a crime would legally get him off jury duty. What person actually WANTS to be on jury duty?? Any same person would happily check "yes" and hope they are removed during voir dire.

And to be clear this isn't about ugly or old we all get old and some people are just physically ugly. What I mean with this woman is she looks like a character from say Smile or a similiar horror movie of a demon attempting to mimic a human smile.

156 One more thing. There is proof of communication between the defense attorney and that Turtleboy guy on youtube, the attorney was using him to consult in weird ways. And they were glazing each other and it was gross. And then the turtle guy ended up being one of the first to gleefully doxx the juror. Handoff of info from the lawyer to the youtuber?

Those two aren't stupid enough to have actual texts of the lawyer feeding him the juror's info, I'm sure. But if the Boston media actually cared, they would be giving the lawyer and the turtle guy as much or more scrutiny than they are giving the juror. Like, colonoscopy levels of scrutiny. Because that violates so many things essential to the justice system working, if true! A miffed defense attorney cannot feed juror info to the wolves of social media, then just wash his hands of it.

Partly. I sold cars for many years. You'd be very surprised how many people jump into car payments they will never be able to afford, or can only afford if no other unforseen expenses ever happen.

And not just cars. Houses, apartments, mortgages, rents, even vacations.

41 The frying pan on the wall reminds me of the annual test at grandma's house. She had an iron skillet that she regularly cooked with. She could pick the thing up and scoop its contents around with ease -- at 80 years old. We'd line up like knights attempting to take the sword from the stone, to see if we could lift the pan without our wrists wilting under the weight. I was well into my teens before I could manage it with difficulty.

Grandma was good stock, as they say.

A friend had an automatic chicken plucker. It was like the tub from a washing machine with stiff rubber fingers sticking through it. The base of the tub was connected to a 1hp electric motor that spun it at a relatively high speed. Toss in the chicken and it would tumble around and remove the feathers.

Seemed violent to me......Not sure how well it worked, or if the carcass was actually viable after the ride.....

A friend had an automatic chicken plucker. It was like the tub from a washing machine with stiff rubber fingers sticking through it. The base of the tub was connected to a 1hp electric motor that spun it at a relatively high speed. Toss in the chicken and it would tumble around and remove the feathers.

Seemed violent to me......Not sure how well it worked, or if the carcass was actually viable after the ride.....

papa miliato soaked peaches in his homemade brandy. he'd offer you a drink as "wanna pitch?" when the gallon jug was gone at the river house he'd say, "c'mon ange, time to go." anywhere from one to three days, depending.

Um...yeah. Rain with wind from the northeast. Rain I don't have to shovel. In about 4 months I'll ~~worry about it~~ make sure my liquor cabinet is stocked and my snowblower's gas can is full.

241 It's like a Monty Python skit

The "transgender" Episcopal priest whom I'm guessing was originally a woman gets crazier by the day. The name they go by now is "Flourish"
And one of the pronouns the use is "hen". What the heck is that ?!! But "hen" seems to fit in with today's picture.

And just for the record again- I am not an Episcopal priest or a priestess and I think this person is a joke and should never have been ordained.

As one woman I met at the Anglican Church ini North America said about her former Episcopal church, " I left when they started advertising a transgender Easter bunny and rolled her eyes.

245 My great uncle Jacob would get so ripped that he couldn't walk home from the bar. Gramma (his sister) would tie Billy, our retired draft horse, to the rail outside the place so that the barkeep could load Jacob onto him and Billy would just walk home.

Good times.

249 Late to the tread. This is a delightful painting: bright, funny, and realistic to the point that the details are clear and easy to see. Nothing complicated. It looks like an Italian Norman Rockwell painting. What makes the image so effective is the little girl's laughing reaction to the chicken on the table.

PS: The artist sort of specialized in scenes and portraits involving young woman, usually in a social setting. But in at least one case that included a portrait with some very nice boobies.

Probably the right thing to do. When I was becoming politically aware I would actively seek out "the other side."

The Left then seemed to me to be misguided but largely well intentioned.

Then came the senate confirmation of Bork.

The scales fell from my eyes.

That was when I realized that the Left was truly evil at its core.

As long as they don't fall on my house or car I'm ok with it. A neighbor had one come down in his yard last year and it luckily fell the other direction. Losing power at some point seems inevitable.
