The maned wolf has long legs
Little girl missed her older brother, who's now going to Big Kid School. (Elementary school.) Sea wolf. Golden retriever is treated as a threat by kittens, until their mama vouches for him. Copykitten. A very cute rescued baby elephant. Corgi helps. Cat hostess. Covid hoarding affected dogs, too. Contagious yawning in cats. I could have told them all about this. I used to fake-yawn to cause a cat to yawn in reply. The "sky train," a hanging elevated train with windows in the floor. Horses on the beach.
They're living their best life.

The farmer who called in the RAF Fairford incident has spoken. And she's not having Wes Streeting's spin. There were "definitely more than five," she says. Eight to ten. Faces covered. All dressed the same, "almost you'd have thought perhaps it was what they'd been told to wear." Five were arrested. All five are now out on bail. Streeting went on the telly to say she only had a "partial picture." Her reply? Nobody in any official capacity has even been in touch with her. So: a declared major incident. The one witness from that night says more men were there than were ever arrested. Not one official has picked up the phone to her. But the Defence Secretary found time to go on the BBC and mark down her account. Something doesn't add up.
Report: Google and Microsoft used politically-biased algorithms to block GOP fundraising messages, blocking an estimated $117 in funding for Republican candidates. I'm sure no one minds such beggary being blocked. But they didn't block so many Democrat begs for money.
A newly published study estimates that Republican fundraisers lost $117 million last year after email providers, chiefly Google, Microsoft, and Yahoo, inappropriately flagged GOP fundraising messages as spam while allowing Democrat fundraising emails through. The New York Post reports that the study, authored by Dr. Cameron Ellis of the University of Iowa and Dr. Lars Powell of the University of Alabama, uses itemized Federal Election Commission (FEC) donation records to seperate first-time donors from repeat donors across the Republican platform WinRed and its Democratic counterpart ActBlue, then tracked how donations moved during two stretches of spam filtering last year. The first stretch ran from June 30, 2025, when the GOP consulting firm Targeted Victory told Google that WinRed fundraising emails were landing in spam, through September 15, 2025, when Google dropped a spam blacklist called SURBL that the researchers say had been improperly flagging the messages. During that window, spam filtering cut first-time WinRed donations by 75 percent across Gmail, Outlook and Yahoo. The second stretch, affecting only Outlook, ran from February through April of last year, and saw first-time WinRed donations drop 83 percent. Together, the two periods cost Republicans 142,126 expected first-time donations, which the researchers converted into $117 million using FEC data. "It's a pretty big number," Powell told the Post. He said the loss doubled as a gift to the other side. "You can really think of that as an in-kind gift to ActBlue recipients."I shan't believe it:
EXCLUSIVE: Former WPATH President Linked to Multiple Pro-Pedophilia Academics and Activists Over Several Decades, Previously Advocated for Sex Offender Rights Reduxx can reveal that a leading figure behind the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), an organization which promotes the medical 'transitioning' of children, has a long history of working with pro-pedophile academics. Eli Coleman, a former WPATH president who oversaw and influenced the Standards of Care for transgender medical protocols for decades, has professional ties to multiple academics who either defended or advocated favorably for adult-child sexual relations, and had himself previously drafted Standards of Care for sex offenders. Coleman is an American sexologist, professor emeritus, and former director of the Eli Coleman Institute for Sexual and Gender Health (previously the Program in Human Sexuality) in the Department of Family Medicine and Community Health at the University of Minnesota -- where WPATH was previously based for several years. Coleman was an instrumental figure in the development of WPATH Standards of Care (SOC), specifically contributing to the three most recent iterations: the sixth, seventh, and eighth editions. Significantly, Coleman served as the Chair and Lead Author for the development of the Standards of Care 8, which recommended the validation of a "eunuch gender identity", and would later be revised to remove specific age limitations on the prescription of puberty-halting drugs to children.He crusaded to see "eunuch" enshrined as a protected "gender identiy."
Through a series of investigative reports, Reduxx revealed that the Eunuch Archive, the forum sourced by WPATH, was co-founded by a man who would be convicted and sentenced to 15 years in prison for his involvement in a pedophile ring. Thomas Pidel was linked to over a dozen individuals who had subscriptions with a Belarus-based child pornography enterprise which sold thousands of paid memberships internationally to access child sexual abuse content. Pidel, who described himself as a "boy lover," was active in multiple Usenet groups dedicated to pedophilia activism and castration fetishism in the years just before his arrest in 2004. Some of the groups Pidel was active in during this time were alt.support.boy-lovers, alt.fan.prettyboy, and alt.eunuchs.questions, the latter of which would become the Eunuch Archive. The most popular stories in the Eunuch Archive depict the forcible castration of children, and, as previously revealed by Reduxx, of the approximately 10,000 pornographic stories on the site, over one-third involved minors. Three academics identified exclusively by Reduxx as having played a foundational role in the Eunuch Archive gathered opinions from anonymous forum members which were published as research. The leading figure behind this work, Professor Emeritus Thomas W. Johnson, presented research they co-authored together at a 2009 conference in Oslo held by WPATH.
The collapse of "higher education:"
Companies Are Skeptical of New Graduates. Cornell Has Ideas to Fix That. The authors of Cornell University's new report on "The Future of the American University" asked employers what they thought of America's new graduates, and the results were not flattering. Companies have a "jarring" skepticism of higher ed, the authors found, thanks to a new generation of degree holders who lack key skills like handling uncertainty, compromising, and absorbing feedback.That's because they've been taught that they're always right and challenging them is racist, even when -- especially when -- they know absolutely nothing about the topic.
The sprawling, 238-page report -- the latest in a series of self-interrogations by elite universities -- lays out a plan to once again instill essential skills by the time students walk across the commencement stage. The report recommends a series of pedagogical "principles" that Cornell should implement or re-implement. "Sound judgment develops through practice, not transmission," the report says. That is, it's not just important what discipline-specific knowledge students learn, but how they learn it. For the report's authors, the road to "essential capacities needed to thrive in the professional, adult world" runs through the liberal arts. ... To understand newer graduates' preparedness or lack thereof for the workplace, the committee spoke to a variety of organizations and alumni, Phoebe Sengers, one of the co-chairs, told The Chronicle. One such organization was the Albany-area Chamber of Commerce, in N.Y., where an employee told the committee that companies had reported a greater need for conflict-resolution training, said Ariel Avgar, another co-chair. That squared with reports from the campus: Even graduate-level faculty say that incoming students, despite four years of undergraduate education, are found to be "underdeveloped" in relational skills, said Avgar, a professor in the School of Industrial and Labor Relations.They just completely pretend they can't identify the real problem causing this: Uneducated know-nothings who have been brainwashed into thinking they have the answer to everything, and that answer is Muh Racism. And Muh Sexism, and Muh Transphobia.
... The first commitment, toward "cultivating sound judgment," most directly addresses new graduates' lack of personal development. The report recommends a series of pedagogical fixes, including tightening Cornell's rules on late assignments so that students practice making tough decisions about competing priorities. And the university should anticipate that students will have moments of serious self-doubt, such as when they receive a bad grade in an important course, and "intentionally teach how to respond to negative feedback."Their big fix? "Group projects." Terrific. Let's just ignore all of the real problems:

While she was an undergraduate, Nikole Hannah-Jones wrote a letter to her college newspaper that included a reference to a completely fabricated claim that Africans visited the Americas long before Columbus and helped the Aztecs build their pyramids. Many prominent black folx in media and politics have similar publication histories from their youth -- Kristen Clarke, who headed the Civil Rights Division of Biden's DOJ, wrote a letter to the Harvard Crimson endorsing the theory that "melanin endows Blacks with greater mental, physical and spiritual abilities." Ibram X. Kendi, then writing under his birth name "Henry Rogers", wrote in the Florida A&M student newspaper that wypipo invented AIDS as a biological weapon against non-whites. One way to look at the 1619 Project was as a kind of gentrification of Black Nationalist cod history (referencing scholarship convergent with such critiques of American history that have proliferated in the last two decades) once typically espoused by a bowtied street preacher outside Brooklyn subway stations.

So the way this works is: -- You are told not to apply for a job because you are a white man. -- An underqualified person whose demographic traits match what you were explicitly told were the basis for the hiring is instead hired for the job, forcing you to do most of that person's work. -- You are subjected to a racial struggle session in 2019 in which the trainer say that Christopher Columbus and all white people today are "cannibals" who are "like the devil" and include evil in their DNA. -- Your supervisor calls you a colonizer. -- You are told to step down from your job because you are preventing a POC from being promoted by continuing to have a job -- You file a lawsuit in November 2022 for these overtly racially hostile and discriminatory acts. -- You wait 27 months while evidence is gathered to see whether you have a legal claim worthy of going to trial -- In February 2025, the district court grants summary judgment to your employer, dismissing all your claims. -- You wait another 19 months for the 9th District Court of Appeals to say, in fact, your case can go to trial because civil rights law forbids racial discrimination against people of any color -- The actual trial is potentially years in the future for unlawful abuses that derailed your career seven years ago -- Takeaway: LOL Woke 1 was craaazy

Arnold Schwarzenegger is opening doors for Los Angeles mayoral candidate Nithya Raman ... bringing her face-to-face with some of the city's biggest power players, TMZ has learned. Sources with direct knowledge tell us Schwarzenegger hosted an off-the-record meeting at his L.A. office last week, where leaders in Hollywood, business and nonprofits could ask Raman anything they wanted.

Getty We're told some of the attendees were shocked the former Republican governor would host Raman, a democratic socialist. But after hearing her pitch for tackling L.A.'s problems, some who came in skeptical walked away impressed. Among those in the room: At least 7 people from United Talent Agency -- which represents Schwarzenegger -- including his agent Jim Berkus
An executive from Main Street Advisors -- an investment and advisory firm with ties to major celebrities and athletes
The CEO of After School All Stars -- the nonprofit Schwarenegger founded to provide free programs for kids in underserved communities

Then I found out they are the largest LGBTQ political lobbying group in the U.S.
Now when I observe any more "content" from them through that lens, it makes more sense from the perspective of "supporting their mission".
Of course, that means it typically makes less sense to normal people that have been observing human behavior for their entire lives.

Back before the barriers were put up at the border in El Paso - say, about 30 years ago - USBP patrol cars were placed at about 100 yard intervals from each other.
Open fire in them. You want due process? Go see CBP at a PoE, who can and will turn you back if you are suspect. If you can’t do that, you are an invader and should be treated accordingly.

1. Identify terribly corrupt and dysfunctional Democrat city.
2. Run on "free stuff" and "new broom" to clean up

3. Actually implement good government. Not difficult since these cities are so corrupt. madmani is filling potholes. So doing 5% of the job is such an improvement over the DEI folks that were running things that is seems like a godsend.
4. Then leverage this to gain national power. They are not getting greedy like the black DEI mayors, they are saving their greed for the national level. They plan to take over and destroy us all, not just one or two cities.

Well you cannot blame them. Their Vjayjays are dusty and they have a lot of time and money on their hands and no one really cares what they get up to.
I had a 70 something dinosaur show me all her hip and knee replacement scars at the bar the other day while her old man grinned and babbled about his time with her. She had a nice T-rex tattoo over one hip scar. Sexy!
They might as well enjoy themselves as they will be tango uniform soon.

Yes, but they don't understand how conflict management works. Their little brains think that ICE is a bunch of trigger-happy killbots when in fact they are well aware of non-confrontational ways to do this.
The first trivial obstacle is breaking the fence. That's going to be an act of violence. If they make a breach and send women and children running through it, you just establish a cordon and pick them up five miles away. Oh, and sweep the sky of drones (which they can do now).
Since they were apprehended at the border, they can be instantly flown to Guatamala.

Separation of church and state is a liberal construct based on a distortion of something Thomas Jefferson said. It was about walling off religion French-style and creating a purely secular state. It is grotesquely unconstitutional.
The Constitution barred the establishment of a confessional state, like England had. Many colonies required affirmations of faith to vote and hold public office. That was what was banned.
It also banned the state acting against religion, such as banning public prayers, but of course somehow that got twisted into "prayers are illegal in government buildings, employees need to check their faith at the door," etc.

Nope, the First was designed to prevent a national church such as what caused Europe to convulse in religious wars for over one hundred years. State Established churches continued to exist until the 1840's. Mass (Congregationalist) and Virginia (Anglican) were two examples.
Jefferson's private letter to the Baptists while president in 1807 was to commiserate with them about Virginia's State Church (Baptists were taxed, etc. to support the Anglican churches), but in effect Jefferson did nothing himself because it was legal under the Constitution. The First bound Congress but not the states on the establishment clause among other things.
Madison and Jefferson combined talents to try to get Virginia to approve a Freedom of Conscience amendment to the state constitution; they failed.

In 2005, Osvaldo Aldrete-Dávila, a Mexican national drug smuggler was shot by Ignacio Ramos and Jose Compean while the drug smuggler was driving a van loaded with hundreds of pounds of marijuana. He was shot while fleeing.
Aldrete-Dávila sued (how he got standing remains a mystery), both Ramos and Compean were convicted on multiple federal charges by the George W Bush administration. Though they were sentenced to 11 and 12 years respectively, it was Trump in 2020 who granted both men full pardons.

Currently talerico is leading in every single published "poll". Granted they are all mostly within the margin of error so when he loses they can claim they were still accurate, but he is leading by about 2 points state wide.
At this time in the cruz beto campaign in 2018 cruz lead almost every poll within the margin of error. I suspect we are being gaslight by the hundreds of millions of $$$$$ coming in from out of state. talerico is getting even more out of state money that robert francis orrouke did.

Yes, but 2018 was a lifetime ago. Pre-pandemic. Pre-lockdown. The Dems have pulled out all the stops, and are going for broke. So they are pressuring pollsters to shape the election environment directly.
Plus you have many pollsters who went full-on insane with TDS.

Catholics therefore received emancipation in the US before the UK. Now they might not vote or hold *state* office, but they could vote in federal elections and hold federal office. Michigan's territorial delegate was a Catholic priest.

Replying to both folks is a pain sometimes on clarity. But Madison and Jefferson represented the minority opinion on state churches and a more secular separation of church and state. Scotus ignored this purposefully when they did Everson v. Board of Education. Hugo Black wrote an ahistoric opinion using Jefferson to peg his argument around when Jefferson had lost that argument. Sort of like citing a dissent rather than precedent.

I've been revisiting this issue, particularly in light of the massive amounts of medical billing fraud that has been institutionalized by algorithms that are designed to over-bill the insurance companies by including all kinds of sketchy codes into the billing invoice.
Many if not all hospitals are either deep into this scam or are learning it since it adds tremendously to the bottom line. Given current day medical "ethics" this is on brand.
So naturally, the best move that the insurance company can do is reject all but the most obviously honest claims. The con men will just bump and go, but those with true claims will fight.
The system has devoloved into a low trust proposition where legitimate claims need to be simple and understated or vigorously fought just to filter out rampant fraud.
Its not a perfect system, but we have devolved into detestable liars and thieves.

Yeah, they are not going to get away with mail in ballots that no one requested this year. If they try to cheat, it will be some other way.
Those states that use cheat by mail as the regular voting system, dunno. Might make a difference in AZ perhaps.

It was established years ago that these wetback caravans that head north through Mexico to the US border are organized and funded by NGOs. The invaders are not walking up here, videos of them marching up the road are staged brief photo opportunities. They are being bused up here and provided with food and shelter along the way.
I thought the Mexicans had it explained to them already that they were not to allow these fake caravans to move up here through their territory. Maybe they need it explained again, only louder.

Claim: Candace Owens is a Lesbian Who Cheated on Her "Husband" with a Woman, Keeps Multiple Gay Dating Profiles
Is any of this true? Well, rumors of Candace Owens' preference for ladies have swirled for years.
I guess we can say, like Candace Owens says of ever batty claim she invents, "We don't know-know, but we know." "Esoteric Shaggyism:"Esoteric ShaggyismMore at the link, including further arguments about the obviously-dishonest woman lying about everything at the link. He emphasizes that Candace Owens is one of the many pseudoright grifters pretending to be super-religious and "trad," despite being nothing of the sort. He wrote up these findings at his blog. Some screenshots of the suspected "Candace Amber Owens" dating profiles below.
@EsoShaggy Candace Owens is a lesbian who cheated on her husband George Farmer in 2022 with a woman. 4 data leaks from 2007/2008 gay dating profiles connect to her emails, including a University of Rhode Island one. The "Christian tradwife" lied to her audience about everything. The data leaks are from 2011 & 2016, respectively, before her rise to fame. The accounts themselves date back nearly 20 years. This was before Candace was known, let alone before her birthday, location, and emails were public. Multiple have not been logged into for over 10-15 years and they were utilized for years. One account was logged into on January 12th, 2022, while she was married and had kids. "Candamo" is short for "Candace Amber Owens". The 429 in her usernames and emails stands for her birthday, April 29th. Candamo429 is incredibly specific. The only instance of it being used is for Candace Owens' 2008 YouTube channel, which features a video with her face, voice, and name in the credits for a URI video. Only 1 Candace Amber Owens attended the University of Rhode Island from 2007-2010. One dating profile is named "Cdot429", which matches Candace's mid 2015 Cdotamber Flickr page and her email Cdotamber429. Cdotamber, Cdot429 and Cdotamber429 are specific. Every single one of the profiles is solely oriented towards women, with multiple identifying as lesbian and even the bi ones only expressing an interest in women. The way these websites work is if you select "interested in women," only women show up, listing as bi wouldn't make men appear. Getting into the profiles, 3 were on one site. One, Fling, was on another but is only visible via a 2011 data leak. Profile 1 - LickyouinRI: Candace Owens describes her sexuality as bi, but only lists an interest in seeking out women. Candace's bio has a savant-like tone. This account details Candace's desire and passion for the female anatomy. She considers herself an expert at this. The email attached to this account is an EDU email for the University of Rhode Island and links to her MySpace page. That MySpace page has her name and features a previously unknown photo of Candace in Young Steff's music video. Profile 2 - collegefuck5: Candace states her intentions in her name. Candace exclusively shows interest in women and licking them. It also requests a group session with a female couple! No men allowed by the author of "Make Him a Sandwich". That's despite listing herself as bi. This profile is important because it was last logged into on January 12th, 2022, years after her marriage and first child. There's no reason to log in again and not delete your gay dating account as a married woman with children. That is, unless you're cheating on your husband with a woman. I tested it, and it takes about 4 clicks to delete your account on this site. You don't even need access to your email. Even if Candace lost access to her email, she could delete her account easily. Yet she logged in and didn't! Candace hilariously lists her race as "East Indian" because her grandfather who came from St. Thomas. This dating profile mentions being a college student from Kingston, Rhode Island, where the University of Rhode Island has its main campus. Profile 3 - cdot429: Candace Owens lists herself as "lesbian" and states her location is Stamford, Connecticut, her hometown. This profile solicits a discreet encounter with "no strings attached." Candace last used this profile in 2013, confirming she identifies as a lesbian. The height matches Candace Owens. The email is linked to a Candace Owens from Stamford, CT, who goes by "Candamo429". Profile 4 - letmelickyou13. This profile is accessible via leaks. All that is shown is that it's exclusively interested in women. This profile continues the licking theme.
Candace Owens is a lesbian who cheated on her husband George Farmer in 2022 with a woman.

Full proof this is Candace: Candace Owens' original 2008 YouTube channel is named "Candamo429", featuring a video with her. This matches multiple emails registered to her gay dating profiles. The video is at URI and she later wrote about it on Degree 180.

This matches multiple emails registered to her gay dating profiles. The video is at URI and she later wrote about it on Degree 180. The one different email matches her Flickr, Cdotamber. It has her birthday too, April 29th. The URI email is linked to Candace Owens' MySpace page that features her full name. The account and the dating profile are nearly 2 decades old. Candace's original twitter was @Candace_Amber
All locations match where Candace was at that exact time. Stamford, CT. Kington, RI. Narragansett, RI. Stamford has 139k people. Kingston has about 7k people. Narragansett There is only 1 Candace Owens born April 29th (429) from Stamford, Connecticut who later attended the University of Rhode Island in Kingston, RI. That is an exact duplicate of the dating profiles, along with the time frame Candace attended URI. There is one other Candace A Owens from Connecticut who is over 20 years older, but not from Stamford. There's a Candace Danielle Owens who lived in Stamford at a point that's roughly her age, but born 7 months later and has lived elsewhere since the 90s. Candace lived in Stamford (after New York) until she moved to university. Candace Owens uses the same passwords everywhere. Additionally, Candace Owens used the same phone number on her Explore Talent profile as she used on her on her Degree180 website. That Explore Talent profile is linked to a candamo429 email. The Candamo429 email was first posted on Kiwi Farms in 2016 on the third page of Candace Owens' thread when she was originally identified. The 2014 date is only because the AFF leak was in 2016, so later dates didn't register. However going to the profile itself shows it was last used 2022. The only alternative explanation is that a timetraveler went back to 2008 when nobody knew who Candace Owens was, hacked all her accounts, spoofed her IP 4 times, somehow linked multiple social medias, her own website and all her data to compromised emails. Also Candace was never notified of this. And then this timetraveler logged into just one profile in 2022. As a 18+ year consistent psyop.
Not sure when this happened, but the account that was supposedly Candace Owens' first twitter account is protected:
Candace Owens
@RealCandaceO There isn't a Department of War propaganda campaign from the gates of hell that can undo what I am reading. It's over for Turning Point USA. The most damning part? They refused to participate in the independent review while publicly lying about what took place. They lied repeatedly and publicly. I am thoroughly disgusted with Erika Kirk. All of this information was at her fingertips and she attempted to be a helpless widow while allowing her employees to publicly lie.

I would love to see this all turned on her and weaponized the way she weaponized her own rumor mill. Because her brand of "I'm just asking questions" grift is vile.
Also, you allegedly used easily trackable personal info markers on gay dating apps? With your real birthday? Really?

Her relationship with her husband is more interesting to me, but only because I can’t figure out how she managed to make that happen as she is just not bright. Pretty privilege does make sense for a lot of it, but if he is gay, that falls apart. Guess they are both bi? Does it still count as a lavender marriage?

Was it an op on her part to capture right-wing eyeballs and then corrupt them? Did she have a stroke? Did she go from sober, to an alcoholic or serious drug user?
I am not being snarky. I cannot grasp the change.

She is a grifter and has been from the get go. Read her history in how she started from start to finish. I wish she was the real thing, too, but she never has been. She has a nose (giggle) for where the next dollar can come from, though, and she knows how to be a chameleon. I will give her that. I mean even her husband called her a grifter to her face.

If her husband is indeed ghey one would have to ass-ume she misses an aspect of sex he can't give her. I won't go into this now, children. However, real men know what they are doing.

Hollywood: Shit or Garbage?
Netflix appointed feminist DEI director Greta Gerwig to direct its new Narnia series -- based, of course, on the very clear Christian allegory book by C.S. Lewis. An allegory so obvious that even fellow Christian J.R.R. Tolkien thought it was a bit much.
The feminist did exactly what you'd guess she would do -- she has gender-flipped Aslan, the clear Christ figure in the story.I think they're just calling him a "he" for the moment, to tamp down on backlash. They only have three tricks -- deconstruct; rewrite to propagandize about Current Day Isssues; race- and gender-flip -- and they just do these same three tricks over and over, and then demand praise. Groomer Network Disney will enable ads on its channel -- even for subscribers who are paying extra to not see ads at all.
Meryl Streep is officially Aslan in Barbie Director Greta Gerwig's Netflix adaptation of The Chronicles of Narnia. After more than a year of reports and speculation surrounding Greta Gerwig's upcoming adaptation of The Magician's Nephew, Streep has now been confirmed as the voice of C.S. Lewis' Great Lion -- one of the most explicitly Christian figures in modern fantasy literature. But that's only the beginning. Gerwig has also revealed that her interpretation of Narnia draws heavily from 1960s and 1970s British rock, that she approached the movie with the idea of making a "rock opera," and that her new version of Aslan has been visually inspired by David Bowie. For longtime Narnia readers -- and particularly the generations of Christians for whom Lewis' books carry enormous spiritual significance -- there's a lot to unpack here. ... The available material continues to describe Aslan as male, so this doesn't appear to be a straightforward gender swap in which Aslan has been rewritten as a lioness or female deity. Rather, Gerwig has cast a woman to provide the voice of the male Aslan.
Disney has updated its subscriber agreement in parts of Europe to expressly permit advertising before or after content across every Disney+ plan, including tiers marketed as ad-free. Disney's U.S. agreement already allows limited promotions, sponsorship messages, product integrations, and certain other exceptions on ad-free plans. However, the newly reported European language more explicitly permits "advertisements before/after playback" on all tiers.Sony's new Gay Wolverine game -- which features a homosexual yearning between Wolverine and his nemesis, and half-brother, Sabertooth -- is being censored in Middle East countries do to its "Pride" content.
The game, by the way, is bad. Skill Up says it's one of the worst Triple A releases he's played. In addition to being repetitive, it's also low-skill to a fault. The game's levels are the typical single-path linear tracks, but the game assumes you are stupid and points out the way to go, using Wolverine's "scent" ability to draw a glowing bright blue trail for you to follow, and won't let you lose Quick Time Events. This itself seems to be a political choice. If you're not a gamer, you probably don't know that there's an argument in the gaming world about whether games should require skill and should be difficult to beat, or if they should be "for everyone" and hand you a win just for pushing the top arrow button. I'm a very casual gamer myself so I appreciate games having an easy or moderate mode, but this game seems to take that to extremes, and doesn't offer a harder difficulty for those who want to actually beat a game using skill. Skill is racist and discriminatory. It's going to bomb, terribly. And it cost over $300 million. (Yes, Triple A titles cost as much to produce as big spectacular blockbuster movies.) This guy says his estimates show that while the game sold okay for its first three days, word of mouth has collapsed sales since then:
Players in parts of the Middle East say regional copies of Marvel's Wolverine have been altered so that Mystique's marriage to Tyger is hard to see and, in some scenes, hard to hear. The reports began circulating days after the PlayStation 5 launch and have since been repeated across gaming sites, including coverage that collected player screenshots, a letter with the text blocked out, and a compilation clip from Reddit. Insomniac Games' story treats Mystique and Tyger as wives. In versions players describe as Middle East copies, that framing does not survive intact. A framed wedding photograph can still be picked up, but the image itself is blank or fully blurred. A letter tied to the couple is likewise unreadable. Spoken lines that mention "wife" drop out while the rest of the scene's audio keeps going. Subtitles in those moments replace the word with asterisks. One player wrote that the cuts first looked like a glitch, then repeated often enough that they no longer did. Another post aimed at Insomniac asked why Mystique's relationship had been removed in Lebanon. ... The pattern is not new for this studio's Marvel games. Marvel's Spider-Man 2 was previously changed for Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, including pride flags and a side quest built around a same-sex couple.
JayViperZach Snyder is in director jail -- where they put directors who've had a run of poor-performing films -- after the very divisive results with the DC movies and then the much-mocked Rebel Moon Star Wars copy-pastes he did for Netflix. So, to get himself out of director jail, he's refuting his rumored conservative leanings and telling everyone he loves The Gays.
@JayViperTV
🚨 WOLVERINE SALES HAVE PLUMMETED. According to Alinea Analytics, Wolverine made $130 million from Tuesday to early Friday morning, last week. That was a reported 1.9 million copies. Since that time, it has only made approximately $18 million. This includes the weekend! This represents about 2.3 million copies, so 400K have moved since Friday morning until today, Tuesday. Wolverine's falloff has been historic, if these numbers are correct, so I checked my own which were close to Alinea's. My data shows that when I had it at ~1.4M units on Thursday, that now accounts for about 66% of all sales, so my estimate puts total sales at 2.1 million (as of YESTERDAY; my data lags by 1 day). So yes, it does look like the Wolverine sales have stalled, hard.
He's also pitching himself as the right director for a Dark Knight Returns live action production, though he stole much of the plot of that for his poorly-received Batman v. Superman movie. I don't hate the guy for trying to ingratiate himself to his Leftist Masters. He's in steep career decline and can't afford the industry being against him just because his politics are slightly right of center (maybe?). But I don't think this is going to work. SJWs never forgive. They don't even forgive imaginary sins. Mark Ruffalo actually wind up helping Paramount/Skydance win in its effort to buy Warner/Discovery? Maybe -- the communist imbecile was a loud and angry agitator against the merger, but he may have blown up his side by attempting his own merger, merging the fake "anti-trust" concerns with open antisemtism.
Despite having a loyal fanbase and several blockbusters under his belt, Zack Snyder may be finding that Hollywood's doors no longer open as quickly as they once did. During a lengthy interview with Variety promoting his new film, The Last Photograph, at the Toronto International Film Festival, the director addressed several assumptions frequently made by his critics. He also attempted to distance himself from the perception that he is somehow "right wing." His comments come as Snyder searches for a distributor for his latest effort, which appears far more grounded than his action epics. During the same interview, Snyder called himself "pro-gay" and described 300 as "the gayest movie ever made." There is no indication that these remarks represent a coordinated effort to make The Last Photograph more appealing to a left-leaning industry, but the timing is difficult to ignore. During the interview, Snyder argued that his films are frequently dismissed simply because he made them. "With me, it's more clickable to say, 'I hate Zack Snyder! He's a fascist!' than it is to say, 'I saw the movie and it was cool,'" Snyder said. "Nobody gives a f-- about that. And obviously, I'm not a fascist." The Last Photograph, an independently produced film from Snyder, is already receiving harsh reviews. Major outlets have described it as "pretentious," "superficial," "miserable," and "undercooked." Until general audiences can see the film for themselves, however, it remains unclear whether those criticisms will reflect the broader reception. Still, Snyder appears optimistic and is already looking ahead to future projects. That is where the conversation becomes particularly interesting. The Variety interviewer asked Snyder whether there were any other films he was "just dying to make." The director admitted that he still wants to make a Rick and Morty movie. "It would be fun," Snyder said. He then added, "For the longest time, I've been trying to make The Fountainhead into a movie or into TV show because it's too long. I've written it. When Variety pointed out that adapting the famous Ayn Rand novel was unlikely to "help with the right-wing allegations," Snyder quickly agreed. "I was going to say! That's not going to help," Snyder said. "But it's an undeniably great book. What people don't realize is that The Fountainhead in the 1950s was like Harry Potter now in terms of popularity. It was off the charts. Even just the why of that is worth it. And The Fountainhead is an insane melodrama. That'll probably be my magnum opus. I'll probably die on that one."
Tasty. What's even tastier is that the Ellisons are seeking Elon Musk's investment in the company.
Mark Ruffalo spent months fighting to stop Paramount Skydance's acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery. Now, in a remarkable twist, a new report claims the actor's crusade may have actually helped Paramount get the deal across the finish line. The New York Post reports that California Attorney General Rob Bonta faced mounting political pressure to settle his antitrust lawsuit against Paramount, with Gov. Gavin Newsom, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, and others pushing toward a resolution as concerns grew about the potential economic consequences of continuing the fight. But according to people cited by the Post, Ruffalo's increasingly vocal involvement became another problem for Bonta. The report describes Ruffalo as a "constant opponent" of a settlement and says the actor made what sources characterized as a damaging mistake when he connected his opposition to the Ellison family with Oracle's contracts involving Israel. One person familiar with the situation told the Post that Ruffalo's comments "hurt Bonta's effort" and created political problems for the attorney general among fellow Democrats. Ruffalo had become one of Hollywood's most visible opponents of David Ellison's proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery. The actor helped spearhead an opposition campaign that collected signatures from thousands of entertainment industry workers. Earlier in the fight, Bonta even publicly acknowledged Ruffalo's concerns, writing in February, "Mark, I hear you," while saying he was speaking with fellow attorneys general about the transaction. But Ruffalo's campaign eventually expanded beyond traditional antitrust concerns. In August, Paramount accused Ruffalo of employing antisemitic tropes after he criticized the Ellisons and Oracle's business relationship with Israel. ... The controversy nevertheless became entangled with the merger fight, with National Jewish Advocacy Center head Mark Goldfeder publicly questioning Bonta about Ruffalo's influence on the case. The Post now reports that the episode proved politically damaging to Bonta's efforts.
Paramount executives reportedly have discussed asking billionaire Elon Musk to take an equity stake in its $81 billion takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery -- a move that could fuel the burgeoning panic among CNN staffers. Hollywood mogul David Ellison is looking to build up his media empire's finances ahead of the mega merger, and has been mulling over several wealthy individuals who could back the deal, according to a Semafor report. The size of the investment that Paramount is seeking is unclear. His father, Oracle founder and Trump ally Larry Ellison, is currently on the hook for more than $40 billion of the equity financing supporting the acquisition, and a contribution from Musk -- a close friend -- could help reduce the burden, the report said. An investment from Musk could incite uproar at left-leaning CNN, where staffers are already in a panic about potential layoffs and who will be in charge of the network once David Ellison takes over, sources told The Post. .. Layoffs weren't addressed in detail by the California settlement -- and employees at both companies fear a bloodbath in the months ahead.

Male Karen and former comedian Bill Burr says that CEOs shouldn't have rushed to condemn Luigi Mangione but instead asked, "Why do they hate us?" That's a favorite take of the pro-terrorism party that we've been hearing since literally 12 hours after 9/11.
This fat ginger also has a role as a Male Karen in the upcoming anti-Zuckerberg hit-piece movie. Now, you may say Zuckerberg deserves to be hit, but this movie thinks he should be castigated not for his rampant censorship but for slightly resisting Biden's demands for censorship, and then later rolling it back when the political winds changed.First clip for Jeremy Strong as Mark Zuckerberg in ‘THE SOCIAL RECKONING’.

A very good friend of mine who is a longtime director and writer went to a screening of Tom Cruise’s new movie, Digger, at the Director’s Guild headquarters in Hollywood yesterday.
When you’re a director and belong to the DGA, you get to see every movie for free at their plush on-site movie theater. My friend is a lifelong cinephile with an encyclopedic knowledge of movies, actors, and director techniques. He makes dramas and thrillers; he has excellent taste in movies and has a knack for predicting trends.
And like me, he absolutely loves Tom Cruise. We are kids of the 1980s, so of course we do.
But he walked out of Digger half way through it!

Hollywood or any tv might as well roll over and accept that Taylor Sheridan is the only person creating new stuff at this point.
Altho most of it eventually involves boobs and/or blondes and he appears on some shows like Lioness.
We watch his stuff for reasons unknown. Lots of cussing, violence, blood and gore. We sometimes note if any star can get through a few sentences without the f word. Yet we watch.
Creative writers all seemed to have done too much dope or died before and during covid.
And now, even with Sheridan, you get maybe 9 shows per season vs 20 or 22.
I miss the old days of shows starting in the fall and ending in May like school. This would now be beyond the brain power and endurance of "actors" and directors. So much work and hardship to be paid a ton of money for each show.
I suppose we could resort to parcheesi (I don't know the rules and would make them up).
There's always football for my dude. I find something on Amazon or read.
Meryl Streep, eh? The Weinstein Oscar who never said a bad word against him. As she had "no knowlege of his crimes." Sure, Meryl. I am uncertain which accent is best for those words.

Greta Gerwig thinks the idea of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior is "creepy."
Jesus can take the form of a lion, but not of a lion voiced by a woman?
Jesus doesn’t sing the world into existence and doesn’t answer to a far off emperor either. The theology in Narnia is a little bit twisted.
As a non-believer fan I am extremely put off by the attitude here. It’s fucking toxic and depressing and I want nothing to do with it. I loved these books as a kid and I’m excited they’re getting screen time. TMN is the most interesting Narnia book by and deserves a creative telling of it.
as a non-Evangelical Christian, I’m put off by this sub too. It’s giving MAGA vibes. Even down to the token “non-Christians” who are weirdly defensive about how offensive a woman voicing a lion is to Christians and how perturbed they are over this severe religious persecution.
This sub is starting to sound like Fox News segments on the war on Christmas, aka Starbucks Happy Holidays cups. She didn't say Jesus is creepy. She was talking about a certain kind of religious expression. It's pretty obvious if you read for comprehension instead of outrage.

There's a video, well, probably several by now, of a guy streaming while he's playing Wolverine.
There's a section where Wolverine has to catch up to some bad guys in tractor trailer trucks carrying weapons on a highway in the mountains.
The dude playing went through the entire mission just pressing up occasionally. Even when he let go Wolverine would keep riding and bump into cars and walls and trees, say "Arrgghh!", and then it would right itself and keep on going.

Just to clarify, you can turn off all of the assist options in Wolverine. It absolutely has an unusual number of them and you can get to full "game journalist mode" like that video clip did, but with them off you do play and die as normal. The automatic QTEs are also a choice, not on by default.

There's a level of intimacy in that exchange that is all wrong. She's giving him "you can have me" eyes the whole time. Way too much eye contact.
And her tone of voice is bad. She's practically purring. It all feels like: "I'm not gonna stab you. I love you," says the lady with a bloody knife to the guy she's already stabbed once.

The problem is the precedent. He who provides the money, calls the shots as to what gets made. When the Dems eventually reclaim power, they'll tell HWood "no more money unless you tell the story we want told, the way we want it told". Hollywood will have no problem with taxpayer leftist propaganda.

The guy who made the film lived with Homes and her husband and their baby for a month or so before she went to jail.
I read an article about it and it mentions they gave the him so much access that the husband would take showers, glass-door, with the door open.
Now, I assume that means it's actually in the film if they reported on it, so it might be the husband naked.
But who knows, maybe he got Holmes in the shower, too.

No. The distribution of pathogens in diseases such as bacterimia or blood tumors is so low that you can't detect it with a therano-sized sample. Also , some of those tests entail significant alteration of the sample, so you can't do the claimed 200+ tests on a single finger stick of blood. Some of the preparations are mutually incompatible.

Just to clarify, you can turn off all of the assist options in Wolverine. It absolutely has an unusual number of them and you can get to full "game journalist mode" like that video clip did, but with them off you do play and die as normal. The automatic QTEs are also a choice, not on by default.

Unfortunately that show went off the rails and turned Captain Flint into a bisexual whackjob in a love triangle.

Saw Heart of a Beast today.
Excellent movie in the Jack London "To Build a Fire" and "Call of the Wild" man and dog in the wilderness tradition.
Plot involves an ex-soldier and his retired war-dog stranded in the Alaskan wilderness after a plane crash.
Good direction and acting in a minimal story with realistic stakes. Kudos to Brad Pitt.

I'm probably getting whooshed here, but strictly speaking you're right. The Bible doesn't say Angels sing. Typically in the Bible the Angels are described as "calling" or "crying" praise or holy declarations. Traditions says they were singing.
Job 38:7 refers to the "morning stars" singing and the "sons of God" shouting.
But I still like to think of the liturgical praise of Angels being sung.

No where in Scripture does it say that angels sing.
If you think about it, it makes sense.
Singing, like Art is a feature of being Imago Dei.
Furthermore, music is very cultural, and for it to be good, the singer should be trained and skilled. Also singing, technically is not a fruit of the Spirit or numbered among the Gifts of God, so when saying "gift from God" its gratuitous.
Where two or more are gathered, there is an argument of what music should be played.

Three Years After a Gang of Immigrants Stabbed Innocent People While Declaring "We Are Here to Stab White People," French Judges Finally Charge the Killers with Murder -- and Anti-White Racism
The attack occurred three years ago.
I do not know why the decision to finally charge them with murder comes three years after the crime.Now, three years later,
Nine members of a gang that descended upon a small French village to "stab white people" have been arrested after leaving one dead and 16 injured.
During a village winter ball in Crépol on Saturday evening, a gang of "outsiders" descended on the French village and went on a rampage that left a sixteen-year-old boy named Thomas dead and 16 others aged between 16 and 65 injured. The dance had seen around 300 of the 532 members of the village attend. On Tuesday, the government announced per Le Figaro that it had arrested nine individuals in connection to the horrific attack on the. Reports have claimed that the band of young male attackers came from the La Monnaie neighborhood of Romans-sur-Crépol. The area has been associated with rampant issues involving drug trafficking and was the site of widespread unrest during the racially-inspired riots across France in July following the police shooting of an Algerian heritage teenager. While police have yet to disclose any information about the backgrounds of the alleged attackers, Le Dauphiné Libéré newspaper reported that a young local man who was stabbed during the spree claimed that the knifemen pronounced their intent to specifically kill white people. "We were having fun, we were among friends, having a good time together and a little towards the end, some people arrived. I heard that there was commotion outside, there was a crowd, I went out, I was stabbed in the shoulder and back, I saw my friend Thomas being stabbed, I was scared, I went back into the room," he said. "I saw another friend of mine get stuck in the back, I compressed his wound to make a tourniquet, he was hit in the kidney. It was horror. For me, it was clearly an attack. The attackers said: 'We are here to stab white people'."
judges have finally charged them not just with murder but with anti-white, anti-France murders. This is France, so judges actually bring the charges. I don't understand this whole system.
This desire to cover-up, yet again, for violent foreign terrorists could be what has caused the three year delay.
Nearly three years after the mob stabbings allegedly carried out by a group of youths at a dance party in the small French village of Crépol, judges have determined to charge 12 defendants with murder and attempted murder with the aggravating circumstance of "racism against white people and the French nation".
"Indeed, both the analysis of certain cell phones and wiretaps demonstrated that some of them possessed information about the events or the perpetrators, information they took care to conceal." The decision by the judges to charge the defendants with crimes aggravated by anti-white racism came despite the local Valence public prosecutor's office saying that while there were "racist insults" made by both parties during the incident, they could not determine a racial motive behind the attack.
Update to Fairfield Terror Bombing story: If you're worried the UK government is being too hard on these future doctors and engineers and space wizards, don't worry, they've already released the flight-risk terrorists on bail.
Le Figaro reported that the ruling came after the judges were presented with evidence from the General Alliance Against Racism and for Respect for French and Christian Identity (AGRIF), which has become a civil party involved in the case and is representing two young men who were present at the Crépol dance on the night of the attack. However, three defence lawyers involved in the case have appealed the aggravating circumstance of racism and filed a motion calling for the recusal of the investigating judges who made the ruling. Commenting on the decision to include charges of anti-white racism, the Mayor of Romans-sur-Isère, Marie-Hélène Thoraval, said that she welcomed the news. ... Due to French privacy laws, the defendants have not been publicly named. Contemporaneous reports claimed that at least one of the alleged attackers was "of North African origin" while another was said to have had "a historically French first and last name".
British Counter Terrorism Police officials said on Monday that the suspects in the alleged terror plot on the Royal Air Force base at Fairford on Sunday have been released on bail, while only being identified publicly as "British nationals". Amid a growing chorus for more information, UK authorities released a limited description of the five men alleged to have attempted to use explosives to attack RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, which is a defacto U.S. Air Force base, including during Operation Epic Fury against the Islamist regime in Iran earlier this year. According to the BBC, citing counter-terror officials, all five suspects are "British nationals", meaning that they have British citizenship. It is currently unclear whether all men were born in Britain, migrated to the country and were later granted passports, or have British ancestry. The disclosure, which also omitted the suspects' names, stated only that they were London residents, including a 24-year-old from Camden, a 24-year-old from Willesden, and three men aged 23, 24, and 25 from Westminster. Due to recent demographic changes as a result of mass migration, all three areas of the British capital are now multicultural hubs, where the white British population has been relegated to minorities. Speaking outside of Scotland Yard on Monday, the head of Counterterrorism Police, Assistant Commissioner Laurence Taylor, said that the five suspects have been released on bail after "extensive interviews". He cautioned that their release does not mean the investigation is over.Yes it is. It's over.

Stealing gasoline/diesel from farms. The barrels in the vans looked like explosives. Obviously would all run away when caught by a farmer. Then Trump gets caught lieing about national security. Again.
I don't understand the idea that Iran would be involved with this. What do they gain from provoking a country that has largely stayed uninvolved?
there is a right of resistance to people doing military attacks against you and Fairford is being used by the Americans for attacks on Iran. They're targeting American military then it's not really attacks against the UK.
Isn't the fact that they got released on Bail means there is no bomb? They aren’t terrorists, just stupid, and in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Trump talking about them as if he had the intel of them planning a "big damage" attack is going to be seriously weird if that is the case.
How great would it be if this was a Slow Horses type plot where the security services just wanted to make a tit out of Trump and Streeting.

By Monday 28 September, reports stated it was understood that the material found “was not viable explosives,” while police stressed the investigation was continuing. The five men were released on police bail under strict conditions and remain under investigation (with lines of inquiry including possible foreign-state involvement).

In September 2026, a 36-year-old woman named Diana Gonzalez was permanently disfigured after a stranger bit off a chunk of her forehead during a random, unprovoked attack in downtown Seattle, Washington. The assailant was later identified by prosecutors as 36-year-old Chameleia Chudley. Only, that was merely a misinterpretation of the woman's name. It was actually, Kamilia Chadli.

It's like... they know if they were as rich (ha) and incorrupt (haha) as Mississippi, they could easily afford a decent military. And they can either face the reality that their national economies and public administration are objectively inferior to our poorest state, or pretend they're ready to go toe-to-toe with the most battle-hardened, drone-proficient, arms-manufacturing nuclear power on Earth.
The psychological kicker, I think, is that the real suck is probably losing >85% (my guesstimate) of public expenditures to waste, grift, graft, fraud, and outright theft. And the people they most need to be realist about it are the grifters themselves, who would be the most threatened by serious questions.

The hits just keep coming.
A Huron Consulting Group report projects that 442 of the nation’s 1,700 private, nonprofit four-year colleges—approximately 25%—face a high risk of closing or merging within the next decade. This "shakeout" is driven by a severe oversupply of seats relative to declining student demand, which stems from a falling birth rate and a decrease in the percentage of high school graduates attending college.

Joke told be friend:
Cantonese man working in England would go to the bank to exchange pounds into RMB and send it home. One week what he was going to send converted to 5000 RMB. The following week, the same amount only converted to 4500 RMB.
When he asked the banker why it was 5000 RMB one week and 4500 the next week, the Banker said, "Fluctuation".
The Chinese man replied, "Well, Fluck you English!".

Liberal Media Hack Terry Moran: I Tried to Report on Biden's Mental Decline, Which I Saw First-Hand, but the Disney Groomer Network "Shut Down Very Hard" My Pitch
This is a six-day old story but I don't know if I covered it.
Moran got fired from the Disney Groomer Network last year. He's now free to tell tales out of school.
Former ABC News correspondent Terry Moran says network brass "shut down very hard" his attempt to report on former President Joe Biden's health in late 2023 or early 2024 -- after he had grown concerned about the the commander-in-chief's condition while traveling with him months earlier. "I tried to do the story of Biden's health before anybody else did in network, because I'd seen it and I got shut down very hard," Moran said during an appearance on The Daily Beast Podcast. Moran, who left ABC amid a spat over one of his social media posts, said he traveled with Biden to Japan in the spring of 2023 and closely watched the then-80-year-old president. "I thought, okay, he's still functioning, but man, he's frail," said Moran. "He looked like he'd blow away in a stiff wind and his voice was getting lower and lower." By late 2023 or early 2024, Moran said he believed Biden's condition had become a legitimate story -- and pitched his ABC colleagues and news bosses in an email.
"I wrote an email to everybody as gently and as respectfully as I could," Moran said. "I think I still have it." Moran said he stressed that he was not attempting to make a medical diagnosis, but argued that Biden's apparent condition was a legitimate concern for voters. "I'm not a doctor. I'm not diagnosing," the journo said. "But we all know what we know when we see people fading. We all have had grandparents. We're all getting old ourselves. And so there's no doubt about it, this is a legitimate concern for the voters of America," he said. But Moran said ABC effectively told him to back off. "This is the medical unit's business. It's not yours, basically," Moran said he was told. "And that was that."

The ONLY thing that could obfuscate a reasonable opinion on the matter was that Biden is dumber than a box of rocks and carried the reputation of being the "most stupid Senator" when a legislator. Only that could cloud the issue and offer excuses for a short time. And, how wonderful that the excuse to explain away cognitive age related issues was to fall upon "my faculties are fine. I'm just and idiot."
That truth (idiocy) was, also, lied about as they portrayed Biden to be intelligence. THAT, was one bridge too far.

If you're speculating where Biden ends, he's mid tier, forgotten to the ages. Compared to Obama or Clinton, theres no conversation where he ranks. I do miss the lack of drama though.
Trump will probably be remembered for as long as Washington, Lincoln or JFK, just for very different reasons 😂
The pandemic is a going to be one of the big moments of US history, and Biden was the president who oversaw the recovering economy during it. I don’t like him, but he cemented his legacy.
The border is ancillary. Biden was asleep at the wheel. Trump is a menace. They're both awful, worst leadership era since the 1800s.
"dementia-riddled" Biden was able to pass historic legislation through Congress, guide us through the pandemic recovery and reinforced all the NATO alliances and improved our global reputation

Based on the timing it is pretty clear that Biden got pulled when it was clear they couldn't remove Trump. I assume if they had taken out Trump they would have let Biden continue to run.
Now, whether that is because they thought he'd beat Nikki Haley or that it wouldn't matter who wins is the more interesting question...

In fact, I think Trump was trying to trip him up.
Xi never shows any emotion. He does this thing where no matter the situation he tries to act bored and slightly impatient. He especially does it in photos as if he is celebrity bored with meeting fans all day.
But he reacted. I think it was shock, as both he and Trump know hat Xi put Biden in office with their support of the fraud. This was Trumps way of telling Xi that Biden didn't matter and was a joke and we all know it, and it was Xi realizing that he was fighting an empire that can shrug this stuff off. (Xi has been purging since he got elevated. He must sleep with a loaded gun under his pillow.)

I was in college town not long after one of the first shootings, don't remember which one.
There was a protest downtown - it was a handful of gray hairs and a bunch of college/HS students. But the protest was across the street from an ice cream shop and all the kids were holding their serious signs which eating ice cream cones...it cracked me up.
"ICE IS KILLING US!" says the sign while the girl holding it has a tasty looking two scoop chocolate ice cream cone...

No, those Gope turncoats get nothing. The bulk of the old neocons infiltrated into the Democrat side a long time ago, especially the ones who blocked Trump in the first term like Col Bearclaw. They operated from there. They were the ones with dreams of toppling Russia and armed Ukraine to be the heavies. Operation Ukraine started within weeks of Biden being sworn in.

The old white geriatric gets no respect. Biden should be at or near the top of any leftwing commie's report card.
Biden accomplished far more to advance radical leftwing policy than "Deporter in Chief" Obama or Bill "Big Government is Over" Clinton.
Biden stole 2020 from the hated Bad Orange Man.
Biden opened the floodgates to illegals, and probably let in more of them in four years than Obama and Clinton did in 16 years put together.
Biden flooded shady NGOs and charities and startups with 100s of billions of taxpayer money for commie causes like illegal immigration and "climate change."
Biden embarrassed the USA on the international stage with botched Afghan withdrawals, Uke toe-sucking, and general "America Last" policies.
Biden headed up the worst legal warfare against Trump than any political figure ever had to endure.

He has commanded pirate ships in three oceans and has earned death by hanging in absentia from three empires five kingdoms and a passel of shipping conglomerates. A more desperate and daring man has never trod the decks of a ship at sea since the fall of Troy.
His exploits have filled penny dreadfuls for decades, but his dark crimes are left unspoken since such acts never sell.
A man of all seasons, attractive to the fairer sex, and deeply controlling of men as violent and depraved as himself, he had amassed multiple fortunes, and wasted ever one of them on living large and buying cannon.

The Bush-era GOP political operative also said Republicans would be winning the battle for Texas’ U.S. Senate seat if John Cornyn was the nominee.
“In the last 48 hours, Ted Cruz has reached out to me and says, ‘We’re losing,’ Ken Paxton has sent me several emails saying, ‘I’m losing, I need your help,’” Rove said. “Even the Republicans are admitting that they’re behind.”
Rove’s colorful commentary didn’t stop there. He also pledged to vote for Democrat Jon Rosenthal in the race for Texas Railroad Commissioner instead of Bo French, whom he described as a “bigot."
"My party is being infiltrated by people like Bo French,” Rove said. “Nick Fuentes goes to Dallas and meets with a bunch of Republican leaders. This guy is a Nazi. We’ve got all these people getting on their little podcasts and so forth, saying: ‘We’re just asking questions about the Jews.’”
"We didn’t labor in the wilderness to build a conservative party that was inclusive and welcoming … to see it taken over by a bunch of bigots,” Rove said.

Eh, 2016 was a bloodbath in general. You had people who left on principle, but I'd say a fair few left because we all pulled out the shis and went after each other like retarded gladiators. Part of the appeal I think to this place was that we could disagree publicly, loudly and even nastily, but everyone thought/knew we were still on the same side- which we were.
The thing is 2016 exposed a lot and 'why' people were on the team was a big thing. And a lot of people did not just dislike all the masks coming off but there were probably people thinking 'I always liked Drew' or Gabe or JohnE and thought: 'why are they being so nasty?' Are we not friends? We shouldn't be enemies.
2016 was a true civil war, played out online. I could really seeing it souring a lot of people on online discussion. They may still be here, just not wanting to comment any more. Or not? Never know.

I was just reading that TN has set an execution date for Wednesday for Christa Pike, the evil teenager who beat, stabbed and bashed the head in of Colleen Slemmer 30 years ago and kept a piece of the girl's skull as a grotesque souvenir. If it goes as scheduled, she'll be the first woman put to death in TN in 200 years. I'm wondering if Gov. Lee is going to grant her clemency and amend her sentence to life in prison.

Am I just not paying attention, or are people more likely to wish gruesome torture on female criminals than on male criminals who do similarly heinous crimes?
Seriously, just execute them all quickly and cleanly. It's less damaging to the soul of the executioner.

Possible Suspect in 1982 Tylenol Cyanide Poisoning Named
This article recalls the 1982 Tylenol killings and the national panic it caused.
It turns out tomorrow is the 44th anniversary of the first death:On Sept. 29, 1982, seventh-grader Mary Ann Kellerman complained to her parents of a sore throat. In turn, she took an Extra-Strength Tylenol to ease her symptoms. However, her condition became much worse. Adam Janus, a postal worker, similarly took Tylenol and was unable to wake up from his nap. He was taken to the emergency room in critical condition and unfortunately passed away in the hospital.
A California chemist who had worked with Lockheed Martin killed himself months after the Chicago-area Tylenol poisonings. He killed himself in an Idaho church. At the time, his identity was unknown. Police called him the "Unknown Wanderer." He had $1900 in cash in his pocket with instructions to use the money to pay for his cremation. The note was signed "Wm. L. Toomey," but no man of that name was found to exist. His method of suicide was taking cyanide. But it was a different form of cyanide than that used to poison the Tylenol capsules. That can be explained away by wanting to hide his identity as the killer (if he is the killer). Reportedly, he told coworkers that he thought cyanide would be an effective way to kill people without being caught. Maybe this is the killer. But maybe not.
A man found dead in a church halfway across the country may have suddenly unlocked the key -- quite literally -- to one of America's most famous unsolved crimes.
On Dec. 4, 1982, a parishioner at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Boise found a man collapsed under a pew. She had worked as a nurse, so she quickly recognized the man was either dying or already dead. A priest was summoned to give his last rites, and police came not long after. In the dead man's pockets were a typed suicide note and $1,900. The note said the money was enough to cover his cremation and any additional funds should be donated to the church. It was signed Wm. L. Toomey.
No such man existed. His fingerprints came up empty for matches, and it seemed like his sandy-colored hair might have been a dye job to conceal his appearance. Even a feature on "Unsolved Mysteries" in 1990 did nothing to uncover the identity of the man dubbed the Unknown Wanderer. All that was known for sure was that he had used cyanide to kill himself. The case went cold, but in 2019 Ada County Sheriff's Office cold case investigator Tim Cooper took a fresh look at the evidence. Among the items preserved since 1982 was an engraved key found in the man's possession. Cooper traced it to a neighborhood in Jacksonville, Fla. He learned a homeowner there disappeared in 1982, and he was eventually declared dead in absentia. His name was Dr. Mathew Betkouski. ... But although he had a successful career, working at one point for Lockheed Martin on a NASA-related project in New Mexico, Betkouski had a reputation for making unsettling comments. Former coworkers told Cooper that Betkouski spoke of how to commit a "perfect crime," had a "history of volatility" and referenced cyanide as an ideal way to kill without detection. He also mentioned putting poison in over-the-counter medication, an especially worrisome comment coming from someone who had worked in multiple drugstores. "It was said that Dr. Betkouski attempted to obtain some type of pills or capsules from a pharmacy in the Las Cruces area," Cooper said at a press conference last week. "He said this would be for an experiment. For reasons not fully understood, Dr. Betkouski created a disturbance at the location and the police were summoned." Less than three months before Betkouski killed himself, a national terror was unfolding in Chicago. In late September 1982, seven people took over-the-counter Tylenol for their usual aches and pains. The capsules had been opened and filled with potassium cyanide, killing the people who took them. The crimes sent widespread panic throughout the country. At the time, tamper-proof seals were not standard, and investigators believed someone had swapped in the poison after the bottles were placed on shelves. Johnson & Johnson issued one of the largest pharmaceutical recalls in American history as investigators tried to find the culprit. ...
Now, Ada County detectives think Betkouski may be a compelling suspect. He and his wife divorced the year before the Tylenol murders, and he killed himself in the months after the Chicago cases.
Authorities in Idaho have revealed a possible break in the 1982 Tylenol murders, that terrified the nation over 40 years ago. @AaronKatersky has details on the new developments in another unsolved cold case that may finally lead to a suspect. https://t.co/d1iHC13tSU pic.twitter.com/u68ubAx5j9

How many of you have ever actually had a conversation (aside from the in jest: They'd never find the bodies. Useful things: pig farms) with someone else where you speculated on how to kill other people anonymously?
This seems to me one of those things that only happen and you look at the guy or gal saying it and think 'Hmmm, I do not have much use for this person. Plus they are creepy as fuck. Avoid in future.'

This came in handy after one of my surgeries when I ran out of narcotics too soon and didn't want the hassle of trying to get a refill.
Speaking of, have any of you tried to get a narcotics prescription refilled in the last few decades? You'd probably have more luck growing and processing your own opium poppies. I really don't see how anyone manages to get enough of those to become addicted.
Yeah, yeah, crooked docs, etc.
But still.
It seems like you'd need a crooked doc in collusion with a crooked pharmacy to make that work.

Fentanyl, propofol, lidocaine, halothane, hydrocodone, and probably some others doctors/dentists have administered to me.
Hydrocodone doesn't work, BTW. YMMV. Halothane kicks ass!

1979, 1980 - Researchers first established a strong statistical link between giving aspirin to children with viral infections (like the flu or chickenpox) and the development of Reye syndrome.
Following a peak of 555 cases in 1980, a massive media and public health push began, 1982 - 1986. The U.S. government, alongside organizations like the National Reye's Syndrome Foundation, launched widespread public service announcements (PSAs). Famous figures like Leonard Nimoy and Casey Kasem warned parents on TV and radio not to give aspirin to children.
In its place: Acetaminophen (Tylenol); Ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin).
ALL otc meds have to be carefully evaluated for use vs. the particular patient.

It always seemed odd to me -- and suspicious -- that they had a dead body in a church with money, a ring full of keys, and a suicide note, but they couldn't identify the guy at the time or in the 40+ years since (until now, supposedly).

Based on the books Zodiactually and The Myth of the Zodiac Killer, I believe there's a very good case to be made that the first three deaths (Faraday, Jensen, Ferrin) were because of a combination Hells Angels / Vallejo PD drug ring, the next (Shepard) by a park ranger or a copycat and the last (Stine) by a local restaurant worker with a known habit of robbing cabbies.
The letters? Either created by a Chronicle reporter trying to get the police to look more closely into the drug ring, then added to by either Robert Graysmith or Dave Toschi (depending on whom you believe).

Now they are openly running on opening the borders if they take back the government. They and the media will use this to gin up enthusiasm on the left.

People have all kinds of reasons for doing that kind of stuff.
The problem is that the surviving family is useless in explaining it because they are usually part of the problem. They either go into denial, go into defense, or are just oblivious.
- and re Catholics --- I think they have relented on suicide, saying the person was of "unsound mind" and didn't know what they were doing so not their fault.

I'd say mainstream Dems still pretend to believe in secure borders and controlled immigration. They like to say Obama was the Deporter in Chief but managed to do it in a humanitarian way unlike that murderous Trump that terrorized people.
They all actually SUPPORT unlimited 3rd world immigration, but realize they have to lie to get enough independent voters to still win elections.

"If suicide is committed with the intention of setting an example, especially to the young, it also takes on the gravity of scandal. Voluntary co-operation in suicide is contrary to the moral law.
"Grave psychological disturbances, anguish, or grave fear of hardship, suffering, or torture can diminish the responsibility of the one committing suicide.
"We should not despair of the eternal salvation of persons who have taken their own lives. By ways known to him alone, God can provide the opportunity for salutary repentance. The Church prays for persons who have taken their own lives."

Well to be a sin you have to choose it freely and with knowledge that it is a sin. If your will is impaired to the extent you don't have free choice, or you are under compulsion then its not a mortal sin.
No third party is really is in a position to read somebody else's mental state at that point. With rare exceptions like jumping out of burning building that has no other escape and you are being roasted alive.
So its one of those things that is left to the Lord to sort out. Although they really don't like to get into public discussions of it, least those with tendencies think they have an out.

I will blame out first baby boy occupying my mind that year. I'm sure I was horrified at the time.
During this time as well there was a kidnapper of blonde boys in our area. I became crazy Mama Bear after this.

Five Middle Eastern "UK Nationals" Arrested In Plot to Bomb Fairfield, UK Air Force Base Used by B-1 Bombers
Five Middle Eastern and, for some reason, shirtless men were spotted by farmers acting suspiciously near the Fairfield, UK air force base.
Police arrested them.
Five men who were arrested on suspicion of explosive and terrorism offences after a major incident was declared at an RAF airbase in the west of England are due to be released on police bail. Three vans were spotted near RAF Fairford in the early hours of Sunday morning and the police were called, before a huge police operation in Gloucestershire saw the area put under cordon. Head of Counter Terrorism Policing (CTP) Assistant Commissioner Laurence Taylor said on Monday that officers were exploring "multiple lines of inquiry", including whether proxies or individuals knowingly or unknowingly working on behalf of a foreign state were involved. The five men are all UK nationals in their 20s from London.Supposedly the terrorists are "UK Nationals." That is, immigrants granted citizenship.
... Gloucestershire Police said it received a call about "three suspicious vehicles" travelling towards RAF Fairford at 00:45 BST on Sunday. Five men were later arrested by its officers near Whelford, a village which lies directly east of the base. A bomb disposal team was also deployed to the village to examine a number of vehicles, police said, around which a 400m (1,312ft) cordon is in place. Aerial pictures showed a remote-controlled robot approaching two stationary white vans in a wooded area, though its use has not been confirmed by police. CTP is leading the investigation into the incident. The BBC understands the operation was not intelligence led. A cordon remains in place around the scene as counter-terrorism investigators continue their work.
The media always high-fives each other at the "victory" of discovering that Muslim terrorists are technically citizens. They get to say "it wasn't an immigrant, racist!" without noting that they are almost all immigrants granted citizenship, or the offspring of immigrants. They don't understand that it hurts their deranged ideological position that these are technically "citizens." It shows that that the naturalization process does not work and that people from Muslim countries retain their culture including the cultural approval of jihadi violence.

@SophyRidgeSky BREAK: Five men arrested over RAF Fairford are all UK nationals, all from London, all in their early twenties
Just Saying.
@Baz704 Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale who beheaded Lee rigby were UK nationals as was: Salman Abedi: M/C bomber: 22 dead
Khurram Shazad Butt: 2017 London Bridge: 8 dead
Usman Khan: 2019 London Bridge stabbings: 2 dead
Mohammed Siddique Khan, Shazad Tanweer, Jermaine Lindsay, and Hasib Hussain. 7/7/05 London bombings: 52 dead
I could go on.
Five men remain in custody on suspicion of preparing a terrorist act after Gloucestershire police declared a major incident near RAF Fairford.

Because they were the ones that got caught. The other dozen or so are at large. This is why they evacuated 85 homes. They expect that the missing will try and fade into the background, but if cornered could do a home invasion and take hostages.

I think that's manifestly untrue, at least in the US, and I think the Euros are turning our way. It's no longer the case that people are afraid to point out the Muslim connections; they just no longer GAS because they've been obviously lied to so many times by the authorities.

It’s definitely good news, but at the same time… in Germany and France, AFD and Le Pen (respectively) will never be allowed to actually have power. They do too well in elections and they’re simply banned or some other deep state trick….. kinda like here in the US in states like California where they’ve moved beyond voting that reflects what the voters want.

The reversal of this lunacy starts with the people, and they are now awake. Very few people defend what's happening, and the conversion shows no sign of slowing. It's no longer cool to bleat about Islamaphobia.
The people pushing Islamic immigration are other Muslims, and the "elites", who for some reason hate their countrymen, but that's still a LONG way from a majority.

Looked up RAF Fairford, and there's almost no permanent USAF presence there, just a partial deployment of U2s and some ground support personnel. The only reason it's used at all is because it has the longest unrestricted-load runway in Europe, the only one that can take US heavy bombers like the B52, B1, B2 when fully loaded. It's really just a way station for loading fuel and bombs for the heavies while on NATO missions.

Sonderkommandos were special units of Jewish prisoners forced to work in Nazi extermination camps, handling victims’ bodies and personal effects under extreme duress.
Sonderkommandos, a German term meaning “special command unit,” were primarily composed of Jewish prisoners selected for their physical fitness to perform forced labor in Nazi killing centers such as Auschwitz and Birkenau

The end-stage of every civilization is leaders who stop planning for the well-being of the future generations.
Of course, here in the US, the party currently leading in the polls*, is the one that is promising more debt-slavery out to the 3rd and 4th+ generation to fund a bit of comfort for those alive now.
*if they are to be believed.

THE MORNING RANT: Lemon Zest Has Gotten Entirely Out of Hand; also, Are Crows Holding a Multi-Generational Grudge Against Ace?
Is it possible that Ace’s neighborhood crows are nursing a grudge against him for some reason? Perhaps they actively dislike people who are shelving-impaired?
“If You Think You Can Hold a Grudge, Consider the Crow; The brainy birds carry big chips on their shoulders, scientists say. And some people who become subjects of their ire may be victims of mistaken identity.” [NY Times – 10/28/2024]Renowned for their intelligence, crows can mimic human speech, use tools and gather for what seem to be funeral rites when a member of their murder, as groups of crows are known, dies or is killed. They can identify and remember faces, even among large crowds. They also tenaciously hold grudges. When a murder of crows singles out a person as dangerous, its wrath can be alarming, and can be passed along beyond an individual crow’s life span of up to a dozen or so years, creating multigenerational grudges.Crows hold multi-generational grudges!? Ace has famously told us of his childhood trauma of having to eat Kaboom cereal. (“I suppose this was General Mills' attempt to tap the downscale demographic’ in six-year-olds.”) How sad if Ace is still paying the price of his Kaboom years with the crows holding a multi-generational grudge against him.

This is so funny, because this weekend I went to our local tea house, which does get creative but usually in good ways. The owner was experimenting with new concoctions and was making a cardamom cold foam. In my head I was like are you kidding me? Though I guess it’s not pumpkin spice, at least. Anyway, it was delicious. Really, really good.

Not being widely reported is death of four US citizens in Athens, Greece from explosionover the weekend. Gas leak is intial report, but it looks a bit too convenient for that. To me. From the timing and geography, I hope our authorities look to Iranian involvement and, if shown, take necessary response

Last SPring I noticed the local crows enjoying our bird bath, so I started putting out some snacks on the edge of it for them.
Squirrels discovered this and shamelessly stole the snacks immediately after I placed them, so I backed off. A few weeks later, I'm walking my dog when suddenly -- THWACK!! -- something hits the back of my head. And now the darn thing is sitting on a nearby tree scolding me!!
Yes, the crow was pissed I had stopped. Message received, I resumed with the snacks.

Similar thing with the cheap beer brewers (the odious Budweiser, etc) constantly pimping "ice old" beer. Beer is not supposed to be drank ice cold. But the colder the beer, the less you'll notice the dogshit flavors.
So the cheap beer brewers have spent generations trying to get their customers to drink their crappy beer at near-freezing temps.

The old saw has it that spices were used to cover the the taste and smell of rotting meat in medieval times, but if you think about it, that doesn't really make sense. Spices, especially pepper, were very expensive, and the only people who could afford them were the rich, who were also the least likely to eat rotten meat.

Squirrels discovered this and shamelessly stole the snacks immediately after I placed them, so I backed off. A few weeks later, I'm walking my dog when suddenly -- THWACK!! -- something hits the back of my head. And now the darn thing is sitting on a nearby tree scolding me!!

He has the recipe in the cookbook. He marinates the hobo in lemon juice and olive oil, salt, rosemary and black pepper for 8-12 hours. Then he smokes it low and slow. It keeps it from coming out stringy. He says you can lemon zest the top of a roast for extra zing.

Use the cheapest, nastiest hot sauce on the snacks. Birds cannot process the heat so it passes through with no problems.
Mammals, not so much. Liquid is easier to apply as if you use the dry powder on a windy day in filling the birdfeeders, you pepper spray yourself with the powder. Nasty.

Heh, the trick to odious foods that are good for you is to hide the taste within the spices that you like. Brussel Sprouts roasted in a bacon fat for example. You taste the bacon fat and spices and get the Brussel Sprouts as filler. Or add veggies that you do like.
I've gotten decent over the years at that.

I worked with a lady who must have had some sort of dietary deficiency--she used tobasco sauce on LITERALLY everything. She carried a bottle in her purse. Go out for lunch? She'd dump tobasco on ANY genre of food served. Have lunch brought in by a salesperson? She'd reach into her purse on pour the sauce on whatever sandwich/pizza/entree they brought us. It was quite strange. I never saw her eat any non-desert item that she didn't put tobasco sauce on.

Yeah they need to be halved and roasted, not boiled. Most anything other than pasta shouldn't see boiling water in general.
The reason I asked the question is because the brussels sprouts everyone hated as a kid 30-40-50 years ago were objectively terrible. Gross bitter little balls of nasty -- But today's brussels sprouts are barely recognizable against those old ones. We've bred the nasty and bitter out of them and now they're really pretty damn good veggies.

It made whatever posed as eggs edible. Also tended to reduce the pipeline stoppages from consuming them.
My dad was an army officer so we always had bits and pieces of k rations at home. Some of those were pretty good and I understand that the original Chef Boyadee was a consultant to the military to make them more edible back in the day.

I tolerated most of them. I learned quickly that the white squeeze cheese was much better than the yellow squeeze cheese, which tended to be grainy. The saltines were almost hardtack, but I liked them.

Fry up lots of finely chopped garlic with some finely chopped ginger...
Add the bok chop (cut up in quarters) and steam (a little water added).
When cooked, add fermented bean curd and white wine.
Goes great with rice.

I worked with a lady who must have had some sort of dietary deficiency--she used tobasco sauce on LITERALLY everything. She carried a bottle in her purse. Go out for lunch? She'd dump tobasco on ANY genre of food served. Have lunch brought in by a salesperson? She'd reach into her purse on pour the sauce on whatever sandwich/pizza/entree they brought us. It was quite strange. I never saw her eat any non-desert item that she didn't put tobasco sauce on.

We're not sure if it was one of those changes that Fauci's Engineered Bioweapon of 2019-2020 brought along, or if there's some actual reason that fast food has been dousing ingredients with black pepper. Popeyes? Over-peppered, we don't go there anymore. KFC? Sometimes with the chicken, but and even the gravy got a bit too peppery.
Oddly, our area has Royal Farms, also known for fried chicken. They're not peppery, but they've been salted to hell, back from hell, then went to another culture's hell before repeatedly looking backwards, just to keep making pillars of salt to add to their chicken batter.
And apparently "Mild" == "MORE", something I did not learn in school in the past.
A family member has gotten overly-sensitive to black pepper, so has made dining out less pleasant, sadly.

"For many artists and scholars, Judith's sexualized femininity is sometimes contradictorily combined with more stereotypical masculine aggression."
There are other works where she looks much more attractive:

Artemisia Gentileschi
A crime of passion. Note in European art, Judith had a loyal maidservant.
---
General Holofernes led an Assyrian campaign that surrounded Bethulia and cut off its water supply, pushing the city's leaders to the brink of surrender.
Judith, a pious and courageous Jewish widow, devised a bold plan to infiltrate the enemy camp rather than let her people surrender.
She dressed in her finest clothes, charmed Holofernes, and gained his trust under the pretense of offering intelligence on how to conquer the Israelites.
After Holofernes became excessively drunk at a private banquet and passed out in his tent, Judith used his own sword to sever his head.
She smuggled the head back to Bethulia in a bag or basket. Deprived of their leader, the Assyrian soldiers panicked and fled when they discovered his body, giving the Israelites a decisive victory. (AI Overview)
👉🏻 Protestant Bibles contain 66 books, following the Hebrew canon which excludes Judith. The Book of Judith is accepted as canonical (referred to as deuterocanonical) in Catholic and Orthodox traditions.

Did you get a discount towards demo or labor? Do you have a signed copy of your contract, and does it mention salvage or scrap materials?
After a home demolition or major remodel, the payout you receive at a local scrap yard shifts based on the specific "grade" of the metal.
To combat metal theft, scrap yards are legally required to scan your driver’s license, log your vehicle's license plate, and often pay you via a check or a voucher instead of direct cash.
It takes about 22 to 35 pounds of clean scrap copper to make $100, depending on current market rates.

_Gentileschi#Rape_by_Agostino_Tassi
One day in May, Tassi visited the Gentileschi household and, when alone with Gentileschi, raped her. Quorli, who had himself likely previously attempted to rape her, was also implicated in the assault, accused of acting as Tassi's accomplice.
In the aftermath of the assault, Tassi demanded to have further sexual relations with Gentileschi, on the promise that they would marry, thereby restoring her virtue and securing her future. Gentileschi agreed to this arrangement, but Tassi later reneged on the promise to marry her. Unbeknownst to Gentileschi, Tassi was already married, albeit estranged from his wife.

Piper, have you noted any deconditioning after being immobile for those days last week? It's shocking how fast it happens, at least to me.

This morning was a little rough, but I am also not 100% yet, at all. I haven’t worked out for myself in almost a week, which is crazy to think about. I am really glad my lead teacher told me I was not going to dive right in to teaching a weight work class day 1, and she put herself down instead. I feel bad, because that means she is teaching 3 of those in a row, and that is hard. I am teaching 1 more class today, and will workout, I will push through it. Teaching cardio tomorrow may be interesting!

It is not in the contract about who claims what debris, only that it is removed and site left in broom clean condition every day. Our contractor is very, very good (and expensive) but I am too wary to push it. Like I said, just feels like a screw-over.
Good luck on your reno. I always choose very old fashioned decor and the workers sometimes look askance at my choices. But Empress Alexandra of Russia was mocked by her own family for have everything made up in mauve. Too bad if everyone else doesn't like it.

Piyyutim are religious songs sung in Jewish holy days. Basically like Christian hymns. You know how a lot of hymns are basically psalms or extracts from (say) Isaiah put to verse? Piyyuts are how Jews experience a lot of religious text even if they're not in the Torah / Chumash cycle.
Or so I've been reading.
There are some parts of Ezekiel which Christians find too weird to recite much in services. Jews find those parts just as weird, so the references to the Throne Chariot and so on end up in the piyyuts.

Presumably the contractor assumed that you wanted cleanup done, and factored the anticipated copper scrappage into the quote. Cleanup is a cost for him, remember. He has to pay his workers, pay for the truck, and pay to drop a load at the landfill. Unless you had a lot of copper pipe, I doubt it amounts to more than a hundred dollars or so.

I don't think there is any metal that cannot be recycled, unless its original use combines it with so much non-metal that the energy cost of concentrating it exceeds its value, like aluminum foil in food wrap. Lead is almost 100% recycled. Most iron and steel is. Much aluminum. Precious metals.

Copper stills are a pain in the buttox to keep clean. The reason for the copper is that it attracts sulphur, which can be present in the mash. Sulphur does not taste good in distilled spirits. Use a stainless steel column still and put a roll of copper mesh in the column. That mesh collects the sulphur and when you are done you can boil the mesh in vinegar to clean it.

The Morning Report — 9/ 28 /26
Last week we noted that so far there had been zero Atlantic hurricanes, a record. For the first time in 112 years, we’ve now gone this deep into hurricane season without one. Of course the media ignore this monumental phenomenon because it doesn’t fit the global warming tale. So what other inconvenient facts are they covering up? Here’s a partial list. . . Activists, Democrat politicians, the media, and general population cranks have long pointed to the worst-case-scenario, everyone-is-on-fire, the sky-is-aflame predictions pumped out by the United Nations as reason to stop using fossil fuels. As it turns out, the U.N admits the extreme forecasts are “implausible.” Will any of the purveyors of this fiction own up to their error, write lengthy articles explaining why they were wrong to trust the U.N. or apologize for unnecessarily stirring up fear? Former climate activist/climate reporter Lucy Biggers, now head of social media at The Free Press, recently confessed that she “never covered positive climate stories because it would muddy the message that climate change was an existential threat that was burning the planet.” She would cover the stories “that made the climate look worse.” This is “why we rarely see events like this year’s historically quiet eastern hurricane season covered widely by the news,” she adds. “Many reporters believe covering it will give fodder to climate change deniers.”Naturally grift and fear is what keeps the Democrat Socialites of America going, that and the lust for absolute power to take us down.
Far-left candidates, especially members of the Democratic Socialists of America, are doubling down on the GND. . . President Trump also understands that the only surefire way to ensure that the United States has uninterrupted ample energy on hand is by going all in on the only energy sources that can supply dependable power no matter the weather conditions or time of day. Under present circumstances, based on a recent Heartland Institute energy scorecard, “natural gas makes the most sense according to the affordable, reliable, and clean standard, with nuclear, hydro, and coal not far behind. Biomass trails by a moderate margin while wind and solar stand apart as the least desirable power sources.” The revelation that fossil fuels and nuclear get the best energy bang for the buck should not be a surprise. Neither should the fact that wind and solar are far less reliable, more costly, and much worse for the environment.Meanwhile, we move from the most serious threat to our existence to something that happened over the weekend that is the height of frivolity, as you can plainly see, so apologies in advance for my flippancy!
British authorities arrested five men near a military base hosting U.S. forces early Sunday on suspicion of preparing a terrorist attack. RAF Fairford, in Gloucestershire in southwestern England, serves as a forward operating location for the U.S. Air Force Global Strike Command and has recently been used to launch B-52 and B-1 bombers targeting Iran. President Donald Trump praised the arrests while speaking to reporters Sunday and said the United States had worked with British authorities on the case. “The arrest in the UK was fantastic,” he said. “Working with Britain, it was an amazing job. We had them under investigation.” Trump said the suspects were “looking to do big damage” and that the group had been under watch “for a long time.”Great, now do the terrorists here at home!
San Antonio Socialists Call for ICE to Leave Austin After Shooting Incident. . . A few dozen protesters showed up at San Antonio’s City Hall to protest the shooting of a 28-year-old Venezuelan illegal alien during a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) action on September 20. The poorly attended protest, organized by the Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), drew little attention from passing tourists visiting the Alamo City on Friday.Meh, the President should surge every ICE agent in the nation to Austin and San Antonio and kick every wetback within reach across the Rio Grande as far south to Tierra Del Fuego or the Ross Ice Shelf that they can. And speaking of Democrat terrorism.
Nearly 60 Democrat members of Congress signed a letter to sound an alarm: Black Americans are being found hanging, including some from trees, in a wave of possible “modern-day lynchings.” . . . Every suspicious death deserves investigation. But history is not evidence. What are the facts? Demartravion “Trey” Reed, 21, was found hanging at Delta State University in Cleveland, Mississippi. The medical examiner found no foul play and ruled the death suicide. His family confirmed that his girlfriend said Reed sent suicidal texts the previous night.If I was spawned and named Demartravion, I'd put on Klan robes and lynch myself faster than you can say Robert Sheets Byrd! Dear Lord, Lopecia Pressley, Titty Caca Cortez and all the rest of them can't go to Hell fast enough to suit me, because that is where they are driving us... Have a good day.

Cats are trainable at early ages but can be trained later in life. Woman a few blocks away adopted a feral cat who took to captivity so well that she would put him in a kitty stroller, didn't need to secure the netting, and he would hop out and hop back in after doing the sniffing-all-the-things thing. I think he passed on last year. Really cool cat.

And 100,000 without power means 1 city; maybe several small towns. They didn't even bother to name this one (I hadn't even heard it was coming. It just rained alot. And not even a LOT lot, just a regular lot. I got all of ONE flash flooding alert in the last week. When a decent storm can bring two or three.)

Get a WiFi analyzer app on your phone or tablet. You can see all of the channels in use around you. I found out there were about 30 WiFi access points of some sort around with a strong enough signal to interfere with mine. And there aren't anywhere near that number of houses around me. But I could find a channel un-between all those others. (I almost went out and got a really high power access point, just to turn it on at its most powerful setting and leave it there, with no network attached and randomly changing channels.)

California elections have been fubarred for quite some time.
The only thing that would change anything is similar to what has to happen in Iran, a popular uprising that kicks the controlling regime out of power.
And in both instances, that ain’t happening.

Seriously though, hide the SSID.
If not, go to upsidedowntext.com or something similar and generate a useful name. Most routers and modern devices can handle the Unicode. Or find a character in the international set that looks a lot like a Latin charset value.
Copy and Paste that into whatever devices you want to hook up. The complexity will keep people away and the upside down text will scare them off that you are a weirdo.
Pro Tip: Unless you have metered bandwidth, use the Guest Network feature. Keep it at 2.4GHz Make it simple, use your phone number as a password and have every single device in your house, except your primary computer use it.
Far too many Chinesium "smart devices" explore your network. Your TV, your thermostat, your Alexa device, any smart appliances. Sandbox them. If your router supports it, close every listening port in the sandbox. Some routers let you throttle the bandwidth. Use it.
No one piggybacks a slow network.

If they are working, they may be stealing someone ID; if not, they may be working off the books. Ask them if it is OK now for all American citizens to stop paying taxes, or is it only legal to engage in tax fraud if you are an illegal.
If they are not working, ask them how it is that the Dark Angel of Unaffordability has skipped their house. Whereas millions of Americans can't afford anything but the illegal is doing fine. Theft? Drug dealing? Welfare and Entitlement abuse?

Barghouti: convicted in a criminal suit in Israeli district court on five separate counts of murder of innocent civilians.
Crimes orchestrated: murders of of Greek monk Tsibouktsakis Germanus in Jerusalem on June 12, 2001; Yoela Hen in Jerusalem on January 15, 2002; Eli Dahan, Yosef Habi, and Salim Barakat in Tel Aviv on March 5, 2002.
He was acquitted of 21 counts of murder in 33 other attacks, due to lack of sufficient evidence.
Founder and senior official of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade.
Head of the Tanzim, an armed faction in Fatah.
Showed no remorse for the murders he committed.

To "sand box" something is to create a walled off, safe place for the undeveloped to play — similar to the play space made in the backyard for boys and their Tonka trucks†. This is where one quarantines suspect operations so that it doesn't effect others nor is effected by others.
† The physical sandbox made of wood and sand was a common set-up for Boomer and Gen-X when they were children. Newer generations may have no idea what a sandbox is unless it is an app.

OPNSenese will let you establish a dedicated wireless vlan and let you block that traffic from initiating to your internal network, then you whitelist your internal devices.
Piehole will act as your DNS server and protect against malware and phishing.

One of the benefits of open water swimming is that, in places, particularly flooded quarries and impoundment lakes, all kinds of things flow in there, from parking lots, dog parks, pastures, storm drains, etc. From this one receives broad spectrum inoculation on whatever the hell is in the immediate environment.

So let’s vote for the people who deliberately tried to raise that price for years, eliminate the fossil fuel industry, put refineries and energy plants out of business and substantially increased the price of energy.
I know the price of gas will come down after the elections, but this seems like a good idea.

Yes… but I thought the polls would start to nudge closer to reality after Labor Day. They really haven’t budged. I admit I’m concerned…. Iowa, Texas, Ohio… it looks uniformly bad across the board. Rogers in MI behind the lunatic? Susan Collins consistently behind in ME?? I can’t believe Collins will lose…. But hate is a powerful motivator and Dems everywhere see this as their last chance to vote against Trump. I just don’t know what to think

So at worst, we get unhinged congressional investigations led by the DSA wing for two years, letting their full freak flags fly. This would likely be very helpful for 28, which is what really matters.
I'd be of a different opinion if the GOPe congress had done much of anything to help Trump since 24, or if we had a reasonable prospect of getting a non-GOPe congress in the midterms that would pass the SAVE Act and drastically cut spending.

More for D than R.
Cope on X is, "well, the D will show up in-person."
Sure, I mean, yeah they could change the last 10+ years of their voting patterns.
Not likely but they could.
Also, of interest is the discussion that polling isn't even polling anymore.
Rather, they get a sample of 600 to 1k and "model" the rest.
So they'll get 0 response from say, "likely R under 35" but--and this is key--because the pollster believes the news, the "model" will insert their guess.
Which matches the news ....
Polls are no longer polls: Their opinion pieces with numbers.

Why will independent voters turn out to vote for these lunatics? Explain to me what the demographics of their coalition will be?
The Dems are now in full Banzai Charge mode, and the media are 100% with them. If Trump holds congress, the 2028 election will be clean, and the Dems will be destroyed as a national party.
So the same people who subverted the FBI, CIA, the US military are now subverting polls and prediction markets.
Ask yourself why they would NOT do that. It's is literally cost-free. They can bring the polls "home" in a month.
Right now the goal is to booth their donations and cripple GOP fundraising, and lots of GOPe types are happy to help them.

Counter-terror police have arrested five men in Gloucestershire, England over a suspected bomb plot near RAF Fairford, where the U.S. Air Force has a command outpost.
The group traveled in three vans, which are suspected of containing explosives.
It's unknown if it is related, but a radical pro-Palestine leftist group had released a video hours earlier of them violently attacking the office of a military defense company in a nearby building. http://ngocomment.com

El-Sayed squeaked through a highly divisive Dem primary. He has had multiple chances to tack to the center but refuses to do so.
He has lost a lot of Jewish support, so who did he gain? Muslims were already voting Dem, so no gain there. Are independents excited about his support for Iran? His socialism? How does he grow the Dem coalition? Are suburban married women going to vote for him?
Same with Paxton. He got divorced. Okay. But that stopped being a stigma 30 years ago. Clinton had multiple affairs and still got into the White House. So which part of Paxton's previous statewide majorities now want a pagan vegan twink to take office?

And he’ll probably get canceled for saying this.
On Bill Maher, James Kirchick spent 2 full minutes warning that “queer extremism” is DESTROYING support for gay marriage, and he actually nails it.
Gallup shows support for same-sex marriage is sliding, and among Republicans, it’s CRATERING. Social issues almost never reverse like this:
Overall: 71% (2022) → 65% (2026)
Republicans: 55% (2021) → 37% (2026)
Independents: 77% (2022) → 67% (2026)
This isn't a "tolerance" problem. It's a "leave me and my kids alone" problem. Nobody needs to hear who you sleep with.

He resolved inflation, down from Biden's 10+% to the normal 2-3%. And it is comical I see leftists posting inflation charts showing inflation spike under Biden because they don't understand what they are sharing...
Now some people thought resolving Bidenflation would lower prices to pre-Biden levels but that would require significant deflation which pretty much all economists argue would destroy the economy

it's so much worse right NOW for the colleges. the reason Drexel is trying to liquidate the Academy of Natural Sciences museum here is not the cost of running it, which is a minimal part of their overall budget AND supported by federal, state AND city grants - it's just to milk it for cash from the location and the collection to try to keep Drexel U going
they revealed the other day that they are currently 40 million dollars in debt. their enrollment is plunging.
I can't wait for them to go under
but they - and other colleges like U of Kentucky I'm hearing - who were allowed to be custodial of museums - are liquidating things they should not be liquidating in an attempt to survive.
for Drexel, they think if they can weather the storm they will be one of the few Philly-area colleges left and things will be rosy again.
I'm personally working VERY hard from several angles to make sure that doesn't happen. And I have alums with me. they hate Drexel more than I do!!

But there were observable reasons for that in every case. West Virginia went to the GOP because the Dems declared war on blue collar workers, Christians and (above all) coal.
My wife is from Appalachia and saw the shift up close, from pure Dem to rabid GOP.
California also drifted left, and their election system has been completely subverted. Vote by mail also destroyed Oregon and Washington.
No such shift is observable this year. No new coalition is emerging. The Dems are actually racing to the outer fringe of their movement, so why would the center follow?

They told him to get private insurance to cover it, he refused and argued with them and they finally relented and gave him an appoint SIX MONTHS later in a facility about an hour away.
So he went there and after waiting for 2 hours after his appointment they came out and told him his allergy test was no in fact allowed and to go home...

The flight profile is very much abundance of caution. The initial ascent trajectory will still be suborbital. If something went wrong, the thing would still come down automatically somewhere in the middle of the Pacific.
Only if everything looks good will they relight the Ship's engines to give it orbital speed. And then, they'll deploy the operational Starlink payloads into an orbital path.

The flight profile is very much abundance of caution. The initial ascent trajectory will still be suborbital. If something went wrong, the thing would still come down automatically somewhere in the middle of the Pacific.

A new freeloader. I used to see the smooth shorthair gray cat I've nicknamed "Alfred" only about 2-3x a week. This semi-feral tabby and white has decided my house is a feeding station. I say "semi" because he is getting less fearful of us and is coming up to sniff our hands.
I cannot take in a third cat, and won't. But maybe today I'll pick up a small bag of the cheaper dry food to reserve that for him.

On my end, turns out that Creamsickle, the ginormous dilute orange and white dude with huge ears (and head and paws and tail) has a collar now. Either he's somebody's cat (which would make him one oddly non-feral but feral-acting cat) or he trusts someone enough to have a collar put on. It's a big piece of blue fabric that looks really good on him. Turns out he loves churus and will literally climb on me to get to one if I don't get right down to business.

Hello, all!
I know that you'll rejoice to know that we survived without incident Saturday's coastal flooding in Sussex County. Our place was surrounded up to its skirting on three sides by the languid flood waters. It may have been a recent record, but who knows or who cares? Now to find a vendor with whom I can arrange a printing run of "I Survived Super Storm Sissy" tee shirts.

I started the late super-smart black cat, Marie-Antoinette, on the harness and leash when she was about six or seven. The first couple of times she was a little tentative about it. The third time I brought out the harness, she ran to the door crying. ("Let's GO!")
Stirling is almost as adaptable, but I haven't tried the harness bit on him. He's not interested in the outdoors except for peering out the screen door or window. Same wit Dagny.

----- If you're gonna do something stupid, go all out! Blind Man With No Driver’s License Drinks and Drives Car 150 Miles on Highway
In the early morning hours of June 29, when English officers patrolling the M6 motorway near Carlisle noticed an Opel Meriva swerving chaotically from one lane to the next, they thought they had caught a reckless motorist, but they were in for a big surprise. Not only was the driver visibly drunk, but he had no driver’s license and was almost completely blind! At a recent hearing, Anthony Hall admitted to drink-driving, driving without a licence or insurance and taking his partner’s car without their consent. His lawyer told the judge that Hall had acted out of desperation, trying to escape a difficult personal situation, including relationship issues and financial problems. However, that did little to explain why a blind person would get behind the wheel of a vehicle and drive on the motorway while intoxicated.----- OK guys - have you ever thought about your eyelashes? Ever?!?! Bizarre Beauty Trend Sees Men Trimming Their Eyelashes to Look More Masculine
Long eyelashes have always been a coveted physical feature among women, so much so that we have an entire industry built around the sale and mounting of fake eyelashes. However, long lashes are not as popular among men. Some “alpha types” apparently consider them too feminine and will have them trimmed for a manlier look, despite the serious health risks of such a procedure. Videos of young men having their eyelashes cut or trimmed at barber shops or beauty salons started showing up on TikTok and other social media platforms last year, but instead of quickly fizzling out, they apparently turned into a global trend.Forget about too long or too short -- I refuse to believe ANY guy who thinks about the length of his eyelashes is "alpha". Or even hetero. Anyway - photos and videos at the link. If you care.
• Breathable shirt: cotton, linen, or a light performance tee. Light colors help in the sun. A button-down you can leave open over a tee works if you want a little coverage.
• Shorts or casual pants: shorts, jeans you already know are comfortable, or lightweight pants. Remember, if you wear shorts, there are bugs and taller grasses out there. If this bothers you, think more light weight pants.
• Closed-toe shoes you can walk in: sneakers, trail shoes, or broken-in boots. Ranch ground is not a manicured lawn.
• A hat with a brim. Texas sun is not a suggestion. That is the whole look. Comfortable. Outdoor. Picnic. Ranch.
What “comfortable” actually means here Comfortable does not mean “I just rolled out of the car in pajama pants.” It means you can sit on a bench or the ground, stand in a cluster talking, walk to the next activity, and not spend the afternoon tugging at clothes that were a bad idea. Bring a light layer. Even on a hot day, shade, wind, or evening can change the temperature. A hoodie or light flannel stuffed in the car is cheap insurance. Sun, sweat, and ranch realities Assume sun. Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat will do more for you than any outfit choice. Assume you will get dusty. Do not wear anything you would be sad to see with grass stains or ranch dirt on it. Assume bugs. If you are the person mosquitoes treat like a buffet, long sleeves in a light fabric or a bit of repellent. What not to wear The brand-new white sneakers you want to keep white, and anything that needs dry cleaning. When walking around the property, you don’t want open toed shoes, unless you are okay with surprises from the grass in the form of stickers or bitey things. This is not the moment to channel Johnny Cash. All black leather is cool, but not when it’s really hot! A simple packing list • Breathable shirt and comfortable bottoms
• Walking shoes, closed toe
• Hat and sunglasses
• Sunscreen
• Lip balm – guys too! The air can be VERY dry
• Light extra layer
• Water bottle
• Hearing protection if you are going to shoot
• Safety glasses if you are going to shoot
• Raincoat or poncho because you never know! You are going to a ranch picnic with the Horde, not a photoshoot. In fact, we don’t even like to take photos! Dress like someone who plans to stay outside, eat, talk, and enjoy people outside of grey boxes.

I think about them once a year when I get new eyeglasses. The lenses have to sit far enough forward that my eyelashes won't touch them.
That, however, is a reason to nix a particular pair of glasses frames. Not a reason to trim my eyelashes. Who the heck does that? Elton John thinks that's kinda gay.

Posted by: mikeski at September 27, 2026 10:14 PM (VHUov)
You might ask yourself, as I did, what could possibly be the serious health risks of trimming your eyelashes?
Eyelashes prevent dirt and debris, including dead skin cells and sweat, as well as UV rays from entering the eye, and trimming them exposes people to infection, itchiness and frequent discomfort.
That's straight from the esteemed journalists at Oddity Central, so you have been forewarned.

No idea if I'll be able to make it to the MoMe, if I'm still unemployed by then I'll probably skip this year and see where I am (literally) next year.
No job news today, but I expect at least some kind of screening call for something in the next couple days, and hope springs eternal for one of the previous interviews to have good news. I'll poke 'em all again in the morning!

Long & thick eyelashes are good DNA. I know because I have them & my DIL and I have passed them onto my grands (who are gorgeous & I am not the only biased person who thinks so).
I didn't weirdly seek long eyelashes in my handsome dude (his are ok). I looked at his eyes, & the lashes were not important, altho his kindness was.
The one guy I briefly loved before my dude had them to spare. Our kids they would have have some majorly thick, long and black eyelashes. Of this I am certain. Gorgeous man & we would have crashed & burned I think based on the little time we had together.
I settled for the smoldering and weird courtship instead.
This seems too retarded to contemplate of a guy doing this. I knew of girls in college who tried it to make them thicker. Didn't work.
I will be at the MoMe in spirit and wish I could go. Altho from the heat/sun aspect I'd be wearing a gigantic straw hat (I have many) and a cotton maxi skirt as I hate jeans. Find me in the shade with a gin and tonic. Cheers!

My granddaughter told me today she fell off the jungle gym at school onto her back on Friday. Stood up then fainted for a few minutes (thought she was asleep at home).
She's five & has always been very articulate. A teacher scooped her up & ran to the office & son picked her up.
I want to kill him as he dismisses stuff & did not take her to the ED as he thinks he's an AI Doctor now. She's had one concussion already & he dismissed this one! I didn't know til today.
She seems fine. HOWEVER, she described her hands/arms coming to her chest before she stood up & I silently freaked out (she was coloring at the kitchen table and that's when we talk a lot). My God.
THIS is why I pray for them every night.
Football players do this with head/neck injuries. Fencing reflex. Plus the scooping up by her teacher & passing out almost makes me want to pass out.
I should have been an art history major & ignorant of reflexes & this crap. I did send an email to our son explaining what she said without me asking her. Complete with a football injury scene.

**********
He's listened to me twice for major stuff (and now doesn't call because son is an expert in all things...he's a systems engineer with no medical background).
She fell at 2yrs and whacked the back of her head, hard. Did not lose consciousness. He called on the road to the children's hospital and she puked and I said go to the nearest ED now. He did. She had a small fracture in the back of her skull but was ok. This grandmother thing is going to kill me first.
Last summer grandson, in the midst of others having noro virus, had RLQ abdominal pain and could barely walk. Son called and I told him no urgent care. ED at the new children's hospital near us. I told him of 3 blood markers and he may need a sonogram or CT. Grandson called an hour later (he's 8yrs old) that he was going to surgery. Scope appendectomy and he was home 3hrs post op for me to try to get in some post op teaching to him and parents.
Son had better stop messing with this head injury deal with them.

Have not ever needed much make up and mascara is my big deal. Always. The most expensive make up I wear and it's worth it...even in my grandmother years.
I know this may sound weird to others but I've had ONE mani/pedi in my entire life. Before son's wedding. I HATED the Korean woman messing with my toes. Gave me the heebie geebies. I spend that money on my highlights instead.
I see the nail art and wonder how much $ and who has time for that. Plus how do you go to the toilet is another wonder.
I need to go to bed and stop seeing my beautiful granddaughter injured or dead in my subconscious. There was some sort of rubber cover under the jungle gym.
And, yeah, I fell off a lot of things, flew off a merry go round and got gravel in one knee. But I never passed out with a concussion (I had at least one with a shiner in basketball).
She is fearless and I want to keep her that way. Took them to a park today and she remains fearless and I sent photos to son who thinks I am neurotic to prove I didn't stop her.

Did you spin the handle on the propane valve to full-open? You might have tripped the automatic overflow protection that prevents the tank from dumping its contents into the open air.
Try disconnecting the bottle, which resets the pressure, reconnecting, and then barely cracking the valve.

Well, they confirmed the existence of something in our galaxy. It's dubbed IRAS 18293-0941, and is a "micro-blazar". That's a black hole in a tight orbit around a supergiant star, which is sucking in material off the star, and forming polar jets where particles get accelerated to ridiculous energies, making the LHC look puny in comparison.
One of those jets is pointed dead at us here. No danger, it's 12,000 ly away. But this is the first one of these things confimed in our galaxy.

Maybe take 4 or 5 days to get out there and maybe figuring in a few extended stays along the way if it rains. Not doing rain on a bike. I would rather have a grenade colonoscopy.

So the jets emit from the poles of the black hole? Is that some sort of synchrotron radiation?
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at September 28, 2026 12:59 AM (peOdB)
They've also discovered evidence that the Milky Way's central black hole likely turned on (spewing jets) in the recent past.
Surprisingly, one of those was just 200 years ago. This was just a little baby burp. But about 2.6 million years ago, it likely went into full AGN/quasar mode.
Erf would still be in no danger from this. Well, the black hole's spin axis is perpendicular to the galactic plane. Now, if something cause that jets to blast through the plane, and right in our direction, it would be a very different story. But that can't happen....by any known mechanism.

It's a particle accelerator like you wouldn't believe, making the LHC look pitiful in terms of the energies it can accelerate particles to. Just call it "near the speed of light".

Now, how much power would the central black hole of the Milky Way spew if it turned on again in full quasar/AGN mode, which it likely did 2.5 million years ago.
Well, try about 150 billion time solar power output. In E = mc^2 terms, this is converting about 1 earth mass to "pure energy" as Mr. Spock would say every 2 hours.

Big toe is gaining flexibility & becoming less painful day by day. The purple is very very s l o w l y fading on it, but has intensified on middle 3 toes as of today. Pinky toe is the only one unaffected.
I think it helps that I used to "stand on my toes" as a joke (folding toes under, both feet, LOL)

Now, what's the most energetic process yet known in the universe in terms of how fast it converts mass to energy? There are some mind-boggling things, but gravity is the king.
It's funny, gravity is by far the weakest of all the "four forces", but yet it always wins in the end. And it does here too, in the form of gravitational radiation.
The most energetic wave event was seen by LIGO a while back, two spinning black holes merging, about 60-80ish solar mass. As the spiral in, they start emitting stronger and stronger gravitational waves. It's not much as first, but that final few moments, right when the event horizons merge, it becomes enormous.
Anyway, at that peak power that merger "rang" with gravitational radiation power of 90 solar masses per second being converted to energy. This was only for a short time, and so "only" 9 solar masses total was converted.
The mass of the final black hole is less than the sum of the original. The difference went to that gravitational radiation. So, there was 9 solar masses "missing" after the merger.

09/27/26 Update/Reminders/New Stuff Added 1pm(ish) lunch on Saturday. Moved the handgun start times a little.
Q: Weasel, whatever should I wear to the TXMoMe? I want to be both stylish and comfortable.
A: Well in that case I'd suggest your stylish and comfy picnic outfit, with sensible shoes. Seriously? You're asking me for fashion advice? You're asking a guy on the internet who calls himself Weasel for fashion advice? Buy ammo and no wobbly shit is my fashion advice. Any other questions? How about medical opinions? Need me to diagnose something? How about investment advice? Want me to manage your portfolio? In trouble with the law and need representation? Sheesh. You people!
2026 TXMoMe Schedule Here is an outline of the schedule of events. Times are tentative and subject to modification/change. This schedule will be included in the Gun Thread with any changes incorporated going forward until the event, so please check back weekly.
8am - 10:30am: Rifle Clinic (carport)
10:30am - 11am: Combined Range and Safety Briefing - Mandatory for Friday Shooters! (carport)
Noon: Light lunch provided (carport)
11am - 4pm: Live fire (rifle range - targets to 1,000 yds) Handgun Program
10:30am - 11am: Combined Range and Safety Briefing - Mandatory for Friday Shooters! (carport)
11:00am - 12:00pm: Static live fire (pistol range)
Noon: Light lunch provided (carport)
1:00pm to 2:00 pm (carport - confirmation pending) - Demonstration: Basics of Rifle & Handgun Cleaning and Maintenance - EdL
1pm - 4:00pm: Static live fire (pistol range)
9am - 10am: Combined Range and Safety Briefing - Mandatory for Saturday Shooters! (carport)
9am - 1pm: Live fire (rifle range)
1pm(ish) Lunch (carport) Handgun Program
9am - 10am: Range and Safety Briefing - Mandatory for Saturday Shooters! (carport)
9am - 1pm: Live fire (pistol range)
1pm-ish Lunch (carport)
You will note there are combined rifle and handgun range safety briefings both days and attendance is mandatory if you want to shoot. We take your safety seriously and ask everyone who wants to shoot plan on attending this important briefing. Again, we are conducting one combined safety brief each day. No exceptions. At the conclusion of each day's safety briefing you will be asked to sign a general liability waiver, after which you will receive a color-coded wrist band. The color is different each day, and it is your ticket onto the range(s) for the day. No wrist band, no shooting that day. Don't want to sign the waiver? No problem, just do not expect to shoot. If you miss the mandatory range safety briefing which is mandatory and must be attended, you are welcome to watch the live fire activities from designated observation areas. All shooters are asked to check in with an RSO (sporting an Orange Cap of Dorkiness for easy identification) upon your arrival at either of the ranges who will answer questions and direct you to an open firing position. The RSOs wield unspeakable power so it is in your best interest to be nice to them. Want to do things your way? I suggest that your own personal range on your own personal property is a good place for expressing your individuality. IMPORTANT: I would hope this goes without saying, but anyone failing to immediately and politely follow RSO instructions will be removed from the range(s). Period. No exceptions. This means YOU. I will probably think of more things to yell about in the coming weeks so please stay tuned.

Nicks Cigar World New! A note about sources. The brick & mortar/online divide exists with cigars, as with guns, and most consumer products, with respect to price. As with guns - since both are "persecuted industries", basically - I make a conscious effort to source at least some of my cigars from my local store(s). It's a small thing, but the brick & mortar segment for both guns and tobacco are precious, and worth supporting where you can. And if you're lucky enough to have a good cigar store/lounge available, they're often a good social event with many dangerous people of the sort who own scary gunz, or read smart military blogs like this one. -rhomboid Anyone have others to include? Perhaps a small local roller who makes a cigar you like? Send me your recommendation and a link to the site!

Should be dead on with little if any up or down correction. That is either an issue with grip, muscle memory if inconsistent, or firearm fit to hand. Right or left issues usually come from one hand doing to much or the other hand doing too little to steer it.

We got a lot of time to shoot today. We made sure to use the automated target machine to get some movement and different distances in.
sra blaster is getting her reps in on her Kimber CDS9. It's well broken in now an she is getting better with it.
I 6hot a troublesome Ruger P95. It requires a completely stiff arm or it will do bad things with ejecting. I haven't shot it in a while, I think this one does better with 124grain
rounds.
Ed L. brought a couple of snakes. A snubby Cobra from 1964 and a 6 inch barrel modern production. He shot better with the snubby.
I also shot my P320. I shoot it much better than my P226s and that pisses me off.
Posted by: blaster - Fortis Fortuna Adiuvat at September 27, 2026 07:36 PM (NlEaG)
For fun and practice, I have been shouldering each rifle that I have been fixing and pretty much if I can see the sights (Krag has an ultrathin blade that I had to paint orange), it is in proper place when I shoulder the rifle.
Optics mess that up a bit which is why I prefer shooting with irons even now. My pistols are like old friends and while my grip suffered from arthritis, so far, my eyes have been spared and my muscle memory is still there.
Out past two to three hundred yards on rifles is where I prefer to use optics because of issues like bullet drop and lead correction on moving targets.

Same reason I use a crush grip as it stops any possibility at milking the trigger and promotes a more consistent, if not tip top accuracy, in combat shooting. I care little for target shooting. YMMV.

Range day here and had my HK 45 out of the safe. Hadn't shot it in a while and just forgot how much I appreciate the engineering that went into grip and ergonomics. Always enjoy shooting this one.
Been shooting static and turning targets at 15 and 21' plus static targets and 25'. Mostly shapes, but some silhouettes and 4" circles.
I'm 74 and not as steady as once upon a time, but I'm okay with the results I'm getting. Could use some new practice drills though ...
Wonder what other things folks do to sharpen their practical shooting skills.

I probably shot the Python snubby better than the modern 6" one because I've had the snubby for nearly ten years and have practiced double action shooting with it for quite a while. The 6" barreled model is practically brand new. It's one of the new blued models that's had less than 100 rounds (at most) shot through it. Also, I exclusively shot .38 Special 130 grain FMJs today. .357s out of a snubby is just too much muzzle blast and flash to be practical.
We did drills using half sized IPSC targets. Blaster set up a drill with the target exposed for two seconds at 15, 10, 7, 5, and 3 yards. We had five shots to work with (or ten if you wanted to try double taps). I did pretty well with the snubby. My best group had 4 A-zone and 2 C-zone hits with a full cylinder of six.

I had that problem with a ruger LC9 years back. I had to replace the recoil spring and the guide rod. It was one of the polymer guide rods that was bending and failing. I got a new steel one along with a new spring and it functioned perfectly after that.

Try using half sized IPSC targets. I got mine from Amazon. What I like about them is that they're a lot easier to manage and use on an indoor range than full sized IPSC target. You can score yourself on each round of fire (9mm: A-zone hit - 5 points, C-zone hit =3 points, D - zone hit = 1 point, miss = -10 points), find the balance between speed and accuracy for your skill level, and determine what you shoot better with hard data (i.e. points scored) if you've got enough ammo to shoot enough rounds with multiple firearms.

The 1911's day as a standard issue service sidearm is over primarily for one reason: cost. The M45A1 was the last 1911 platform selected for procurement on a military contract. Its retail version had an MSRP of $1399. By comparison, the M17 commercial model sells for a bit over $700. Only the USMC's existing logistical system and emotional attachment to the 1911 platform allowed it to soldier on for 40+ years after the US Army officially replaced the 1911 in 1985. When it comes to sidearms today, cost will almost certainly be one of the primary selection factors used to decide what makes the cut.

And apart from two drills with my G21 (a Dicken drill cold and then a slow fire accuracy test with same, both at 25 yards) I decided to do some comparison with SOME of the .22s I own.
First up was a no-brand Taurus .22 revolver. I will, some day, own a good .22 revolver. But today is not that day. Multiple failures to ignite but 4/6 rounds did go bang. Group was not great at 7 yards with iron sights but not terrible, all things considered.
Next up was the CZ pair, both Kadet adapters for my old battered CZ 75 and my CA P07. Both printed the best groups and had the best sights overall.
After that was my Ruger MKIV, great gun, but only average on accuracy and sorta heavy compared to Polymer pistols. Not bad at all, but...it's its own thing.
Finally also fired my normal kit gun, a Glock 44 in .22. This had a rough breakin period but it is light, accurate and a good way to end a range session. Did ok on accuracy here, not grouping as tightly as the CZs.
Rounded out the session with a slow fire G21 drill at 25 yards where I was....high and right? That's weird. Good group though.

Project Appleseed does the same on its range targets as did the military units that had to rely on indoor ranges. Bolt action days, the militaries had some pretty unusual adaptations to keep marksmanship levels high at minimal cost. Like one US system that was spring loaded dart kit out of issue rifles where when the recruit fired, the giant dart came out of the barrel and punctured the target (similar practice to barrel collimators that are used on scope and iron sight fitting and used to get on paper at the range).

Don't forget to get a roll of the brown patches to cover the holes with. Each target should be good for at least 100 rounds if you patch the holes up.

I find age plus wear and tear brings the wobbles and a firm help of a sling is welcome. One of the other reasons I dislike optics' use excessively is iron sights don't wobble as apparently as a dot does. Chasing the dot is bad ju ju as it can lead to trigger jerking.

Look up a competitive IDPA group in your area. It’s a timed, competitive shoot and scoot. Very regulated, but you get to move and shoot at different targets, some moving, many static at different distances. And you’re timed, so there’s an element of urgency. It is a different level of shooting that takes you out of the normal static stand and shoot of the range.

The P320 was oversold as a problem child but I do think that Sig is smarter to announce a new model number and perhaps move to the P365 upsized action to duty. That is more to quell problems in the police market and civilian market than anything else.
If you maintained the P320, it would probably be fine as from what I understand of the documented cases, it was a combination of wear and in the AF Warren AFB case, outright misconduct and falsification to cover up manslaughter at best, murder at worst.
That being said, I have no interest in buying one.

Oversold but some military and police SNs do seem to be prone to NDs. Civilian pistols, you have to work to make them go bang errantly. The design is flawed, I believe. It's why I don't carry it. The P365 is better and I don't hesitate to endorse that line to new gun owners.

My eyes have actually improved with age in distance. I used to have bad astigmatism and now it is non existent. Then again, I wore glasses starting in 4th grade. I have never needed glasses to read and still don't for any close work.
I have reddots on my social purpose ARs but simply see the iron sights well enough not to want nor need a dot sight on handguns. My pistols that I carry, I can by practicing dry fire draws often, are right on sights when I draw from a holster or pick the firearm up off a table. Combination of hand fit and muscle memory and so I still use handguns that are comparatively 'old' to what most of you guys use. They fit my hand and my muscle memory is why.
Other people may vary in requirements but I am looking for a pattern of 3-4 inches at 7 yards with single or double shots from a draw and 6-8 inches at 25 yards staying in the center torso. And I want that repeatable consistently in every handgun that I carry.

Eh, the po po had that problem with Glocks which is more a training issue than anything else. But M&P line made sure to tell the police market that they had a safety on it. Sig took a hammer fired design, P250, that did not sell and repurposed it as a striker fire design. I read the military report on Sigs and did not see anything from the massive shutdown and inquiry on the P320 that indicates anything other than some parts, particularly the safety mechanisms are prone to wear.
Could be a training issue or simply the military higher ups desire to have a safety on the handguns.

Back in 1909, when the trials program that ended up selecting Colt's submittal for a service handgun, the pistol was a primary weapon of a major branch of the Army, the US Cavalry. Many of the .45 ACPs specs to knock down a horse or a man with a single shot came from the US Cavalry. Today, the US Cavalry have switched from horses to tracks, wheels, and helicopters. No service branch uses a handgun as a primary weapon issued to every soldier. Pistols are a last ditch weapon and as such, don't merit pouring buckets of cash at the program(s).

Eh, not really the same. JMB realized the safety issue relied on the mind of the user--if you carry cocked and locked, then you best be trained. The Army decided in peacetime, that was a no no and warranted the idiotic empty chamber reg rather than train up the troops.
The basis issue is that cops carry more handguns every day than troops do and the absence or presence of a safety does not seem to matter much. It is a training issue.
The military is basically risk averse and rather stupid on personal arms. They shortchange small arms training consistently over the years and have repeatedly made bone headed decisions on acquisitions, sights, etc.
Read up on the idiotic feud between General Buffington and General Crozier over Krag sights for example. 4 sights plus carbine versions in a firearm only used for about a dozen years.
Garand designed his firearm for a magazine and yet was forced to drop that in favor of clips and his original .276 like the British ill fated 7mm was changed to support what ammo was already in the system.

They are defensive weapons and the military has not much interest in the lives of any particular troop. They care much more about reports, media, and bad pr so they purposefully avoid troops carrying weapons and being familiar with them. If troops could carry routinely as even happened in the Army during the heyday of calvary outposts, then they could today.
Cops carry much more except for senior ranks but put a helluva lot more emphasis on firearms and safety for individuals than the military does.
And I am familiar with the AF from being in it and Army being an Army brat of a US Army officer in Ordnance.

How does even an REMF escape firearms training? As an officer a what can be argued to be at least enough of an REMF, the Army was not letting me go to Afghanistan without hitting the range. (Which led to some comical moments in the AF when I showed up for M4 training. For the uninitiated, in the AF - stupidly - it is seldom officers get rifle training.)

It can make a difference depending on your needs.
I can generally shoot excellent at bad breath distances out to ten yards or so with irons. Need to verify that I can still shoot that well after a two year layoff but I have been practicing with dry shooting extremely frequently.
Generally speaking, I am not going to have a reason to shoot someone with an handgun at 25 yards and a helluva problem with legally justifying that rather than evasion and disengagement in my area.
If they are carrying long arms, the best reply is a long arm yourself.
But I prefer simplicity nowadays and if I really had to make a head shot, would actually prefer a revolver to any of the various semi autos present.
The average revolvers are more accurate as even a century old K Frame Smith and Wesson is capable of shooting 1 inch groups in a Ransom Rest at 25 yards. Been demonstrated.

I tend to agree with John Farnam (former military, now a noted senior firearm trainer for police, military, etc.). Off and on carry tends to promote bad attitudes and has resulted in troops being killed in terrorism or other issues. If you trust a Staff Sergeant with being a lead technician on a 30-100 million dollar aircraft, then trusting them with a firearm is a no brainer.
You might enjoy his quips which are very much on par with Col. Cooper's observations. His books on longarms and handguns are uniformly excellent as is his training in person. Defense Training International.

With the exception of the M1 Garand, US Army Ordnance hasn't exactly covered itself with glory when it's come to selecting the small arms the troops have had to use in wartime. It seems that luck has been more of a factor that I'm comfortable with on more than one occasion. The .50 M1921/M2 (Ma Duce) was originally condemned by multiple branches in the US Army as being too heavy, too overpowered, inaccurate (!) and "not needed" for the things it was expected to shoot at (tanks, planes, buildings). It took the USN making the M2 its AA weapon of choice on USN vessels and Dr. Samuel Green, chief engineer at Springfield Armory along with Colt, to give the M2 its dual feed system and improve the gun's overall reliability and adaptability for multiple roles.

Qualifying with a sidearm is dirt simple if you can listen to the instructor. M16/M4 is more difficult. It took me three tries because this was the first time I'd ever shot for qualification with an optic (Aimpoint Comp M4S). That was a painful experience because I had to learn how to use the thing on the fly.

We live in a fallen world where people will kill, murder, rape, rob, and steal without the slightest compunction. The record of police is spotty and they are a reactive force, not proactive.
I agree with the Framers that the first responders must always be ourselves rather than the calvary coming over the hill to save us from immediate peril.
In most defensive gun uses, merely having a firearm is enough to change the the cost calculus of the critter to consider disengaging with you. Most defensive gun uses never result in a shot fired. And from all likelihood from research, it is at a minimum about 800k per year to as much as 2.5 million or so (Gary Kleck and co).

A lot of NG and Reserve units did that because access to centerfire capable ranges for these units was often a problem. But by the 1990s, a lot of the .22 LR adapters were totally worn out. I never saw one of those again after 2003.

I built my ARs from parts but then again I have the gages, the knowledge from rebuilding bolt rifles, and do my research. ARs are not difficult to build, tear down, and rebuild and replace parts. Easier than bolt action rifles in most cases. That being said, that was not always the case back in the 90's. Specifications were loose and a lot of parts were actually rejected from military contractors and then sold on the gunshow circuit or by mail from places like the Shotgun News.
That era is pretty much gone with CAD CAM and CNC mfg. Even using headspace gages which I do on builds is really pretty unnecessary simply because tolerance stacking has been reduced to the extent of a particular AR-15 bolt and a barrel producing either short head space or long headspace something on the order of 50:1 or greater. Buy from a reputable source for components and you won't have an issue.

When I went through Lackland and AF basic, they had us use those damn things. They frankly sucked with lots of jams, dirty nasty 22 LR ammo that took an afternoon to clean, and was as useful as tits on a boar hog. Requalified at my unit with A1s using proper ammo and that went fine in comparison.

Agreed. In ROTC Field Training I shot the M9. It was my first time shooting in five years. But I did OK. Learning the mechanics of the M4/M16 took awhile. That was part of the reason I bought the rifle I still own - to keep operating that mechanism in practice. I bought a M9 and M18 equivalent for the same reasons - not enough range time, and I wanted to keep proficient, not just qualify.

There was supposed to be an Earth-shattering Kaboom! What happened to my Earth-shattering Kaboom?
In the course of my shop cleanup, I found a passenger-side airbag for a Dodge Dakota. I took it apart. Inside, I found a nine-inch long by 2" steel cylinder, one end capped, with wires sticking out. A literal "bimb" as Inspector Clouseau would say. What to do, what to do? I took it to the far end of the yard, wedged it into an old car chassis, and plinked at it with the .22. Scored numerous hits, including one right on the end, which should have fired the initiator, but it didn't. Cleaned the wires off, though.
Time to move on to Plan B.

Then you have the proprietary types like the SFAR of Ruger and others.
Here be Dragons if planning on building one.
Closest thing I can compare with in bolt action world is that the Germans respecified the 8mm x 57 chamber twice. The US was smart and dumped the nascent 30-03 round before it really got started in the first place and rechambered all the new 1903 Springfields for the new spitzer version of the 30-06 in ta da, 1906.
Re Germans, the first specification was changed to fit the new spitzer bullets, the second was just prior to WWII where you have a different angle on the shoulder enough to throw off headspace gages. You need a different headspace gage for pre WWII barrels.

Note that the only AR-10 platform adopted by the US military, the M110 series rifles, use rifles from KAC and H&K. The KAC and H&K rifles are completely different from each other (KAC - DI rifle, H&K - short stroke gas piston). You might be better off buying a complete rifle if you don't want to deal with the dragons Whig mentions.

Yep. Pretty much. The AR in 5.56 is a short range rifle at best, an upgrade from the M1 Carbine but not to be compared to the battle rifles of the Garand nor its M-14 replacement.
That being said, they are easy to work on and even easier to have a spare set of key parts that might fail under Murphy's law. Spare pin and spring sets, about 10-20 bucks, a new bolt with extractor and ejector, about 30-40 bucks, a cam pin, firing pin, etc. under 20-30 bucks, multiple mags, as low as 9-10 each. Usually not worth fixing them in free states, simply buy another.
The biggest problem that most people have on builds is the buffer issue. There, you want a quality buffer using genuine tungsten discs at a minimum. A shitty cheaply made buffer can fail.

I don't know if you have ever installed and staked a gas key (you really should just once for the experience) but some of the bolt carriers that are cheapest need that done to them.
Staking itself is not a big deal as you can do it with a chisel and steady hand. Or buy a gimmick to do it for you if you have shaky ones. The other issue is application of Permatex or Loctite 638 on the underside of the gas key prior to bolts being attached and staked.

Look up Gary Kleck and his research. Florida State U. Econ prof. The lower bound was by some other guy that tried to disprove Kleck's hypothesis and came up with the 800k measurement.
A Defensive Gun Use is simply where the presence of a gun warded off a crime as reported by people that were faced with a criminal trying to do something criminal against them.
That is where the entire spectrum runs from a justifiable homicide of the perp, a display of the firearm, even point to one that is on the hip, in a jacket, etc. But the it is the reason cited by the respondent to the surveys that the criminal could not complete the criminal action. They had a gun.

Staking a gas key on an AR-15 is relatively uncommon for most people to worry about. But rebuilding a firearm from a Kaboom is more like gunsmithing than a user. A user would just buy a new bolt and carrier, in most cases for an AR-15, about 70-80 bucks up to the moon. AR-10's though are different animals and the parts are less compatible than the military specified parts that everyone making AR-15s use nowadays.

Almost everything on an AR-15 that is needed require relatively few punches, a small ball pein hammer, some device to hold the gun in place during barrel install and flash hiders/silencer mounts, and at worst, a barrel nut wrench. I have specialized tools because they can make a build faster and easier but I built my first with a minimum of tools.
Other than doing a barrel/flashhider replacement, you just need a screwdriver, punches, and a hammer for replacing parts on an AR. If you are taking off the buffer tube, a cheap special wrench running about 7-10 dollars from pressed steel will do.

About the Bourbon Bubble...I think it has burst, but the category is also suffering from the inflation that affected everything else (Thanks Biden!). I think the sweet spot is still $40-$60 for excellent and interesting bottles, and bumping that to $100 gets you an incremental improvement in quality, but nothing mind-blowing. More than that and I think you are paying for hype and rarity, which may look good in your liquor cabinet, but doesn't translate to more quality in the bottle. The problem...or the solution...is to buy lots of bourbon, take tasting notes, and eventually arrive at your favorites! It should take forty or fifty years, but it is worth it!

In good news, they had the 99 cents/lb chicken breast and the $5/lb Ecuador jumbo frozen shrimp...and they had one pack of London Broil for $4/lb (special discount), so I did get my proteins...and the beef was great b/c I needed it. Especially with the broccoli!

I was a sucker for a blue cheese dressing, instead. I was the weirdo asking for blue cheese for my wings and dipping my celery sticks in it.

I don't like getting too political with food either but some times it just can't be helped.
There's some olive oil in the cabinet I'm a little suspicious of because it's Spanish olives, and you know what that means; union olives, or at worst, communists.
There's also a tub of Irish butter in the fridge that I'm keeping a serious eye on because you all know how Troublesome they can be when left unattended.
I was using French butter but it went on strike one day and I never saw it again.

The dipping sauce below was created for a grandson for his chicken nuggets ... Since then, we've found it to also be a tasty sauce for dipping fried pickles and for making chicken wraps.
1 cup Hellmann’s mayonnaise (no substitutes)
1 Tbsp. Hidden Valley ranch dry powder (no substitutes)
1 Tbsp. Sweet ‘n Spicy BBQ Sauce –
Sweet Baby Ray’s (no substitutes)
1 Tbsp. yellow mustard – any brand
1 or 2 Tbsp. honey – any brand
Stir together all ingredients until well blended. Refrigerate for 1 hour, then stir again. Can be thinned with some neutral oil if the sauce does not flow smoothly from a squeeze bottle.

I cook them down in a crock pot for about two days, adding extra tomatoes in from time to time, and then when it is reduced enough I run it through a strainer and can the sauce.
It has been an odd year for tomatoes, the Willamettes did not do very well, the Cherokee purples did do well but are maturing late, and the yearly volunteer I allow was spindly.
The nice thing is that last year was a great year and I still have canned tomatoes and sauce left from lastyear.
Here is hoping that next year will be better

why parboil perfectly good chicken thighs and make them soggy? Why not use a little of your dressing as a quick marinade.

Mine doesn't have the holes. I've never seen one like that. It seems that would defeat the purpose.
Put the butter in the top part, put enough water in the bottom unit so that creates an airtight seal with the top unit and no air (relatively) gets to the butter.
Air is not your friend when storing butter.

I just use a normal butter dish and leave it out until the stick is gone. Never had any mold. Maybe we use it up too fast for that, IDK.
Grandma had a butter cabinet in her kitchen. Went through the wall, so it kept cool and aired out. She used it always, but then, butter came in 1 lb cubes and was delivered with the milk bottles.

The second thing is soup. When we have some veggies in the fridge getting past their prime, it's time to make soup. I might use a chicken or beef or garlic based broth. I usually have a bowl of kraut in the fridge. I've mentioned in the past that I'm a sauerkraut fanatic so I added some as I heated the soup for an individual serving. Delish!. It adds a tang I enjoy and the taste isn't washed away in the cooking.

Speaking of poutine. Last week, I was in Three Hills, and being hungry, went into a relatively new cafe on the main road passing through town. Staffed by a vaguely Mediterranean-looking young man. Ordered poutine, and a coffee. Coffee comes with a dish f those little creamer cups, and I put 3 of them in, without appreciably whitening the coffee. 2% milk? WTF? Why even bother? It's the fat that I want. There was one 18% coffee cream in the bowl, so I added that, too. Poutine arrives, served in a small bowl with a big flange on the rim. Curly fries. Curly fries? AYFKM? Should be straight, hand-cut, hot greasy fries. There was gravy and cheese curds. And a sprinkle of some green herb, apparently fenugreek. It was barely edible. Will not be going back there.

If beef stays high and bacon keeps going on sale under $4/lb, I can see this returning (without the tomatillos just b/c I got an amazing deal on them, and might not get that again...but I did love them in this)...b/c 1lb of bacon works for 4 lbs of beans (so 1/4lb works for 1lb if you need a reduction in size, b/c I tend to make for 10...by doing that, I had one serving left for a boy lunch the next day)...

I remember doing that in elementary school, in a mason jar. Lots of shaking as I recall. And it was darned tasty, too. I doubt kids do that any more.
We also made soap, with the help of the teacher for the lye. I bet nobody does that any more, either.
I still make all our soap. Cheaper and much better than anything store bought.

We've had several items go missing at Three Bears lately. It happens up her, more often by far than in the Lower 48. I think AK is the very ass-end of the supply chain, and when things go scarce, they disappear up here completely. I've gotten pretty good at making do and substitutions. Also, we stockpile when things are plentiful.

I made it to a Tim Hortons one time when I had to deliver something to Buffalo, NY.
It was on the way back, like 8 a.m., from Buffalo and I stopped off in Erie, PA to get some breakfast.
I'd heard of Tim Hortons and decided to give it a shot.
They had poutine on the menu, but it was breakfast so I don't know if they sold it. I ended up getting some breakfast sandwich I can't even remember. Should've bought a donut.
Maybe next time I get to a Tim Hortons I'll give some a shot for lunch.

Okay...had to look it up:
Casu martzu[1] (Sardinian: [ˈkazu ˈmaɾtsu]; lit. 'rotten cheese') is a Sardinian sheep milk cheese that contains live fly maggots.

It’s a purebred sheep found only in Iceland. They are all free range.
The taste is milder than USA or Australian lamb. But the meat is better marbled, almost melts in your mouth, and has a more complex flavor than lamb you can get here.
Iceland is famous for its lamb. I thought that was hype, until I tasted it.
We grilled a monster leg of lamb that came out perfect. I’ll send some pics for possible inclusion in a fire food thread.

Sunday sauce here. Summer did not overstay its welcome and steak prices have put that item on the seasonal menu for the time being.
Ground beef was north of $6/lb this week, but I picked up a 3 lb package of frozen burger patties at Walmorte for under $15. Thawed four patties and mixed in a pound of bulk mild sausage. Oh, and I found a bag of steak bones in the freezer, so they went in with the meatballs. So, technically, it's still Steak Sunday!

When Ranch came out in the 80s, everybody went nuts for it.
It was at every function, wedding, event I went to.
With all kinds of veggies, chips, cheeses to dip it in.

Posted by: Kindltot at September 27, 2026 05:12 PM (rbvCR)
Olive oil, beef tallow, palm oil if I want a very hard bar, and cocoanut oil for suds, but not too much because it dries skin (oddly). I may add any number of other oils, like avocado or castor oil, depending on what I need it turn out like. I add coffee grounds if I need scrubby soap, like for post-fishing or really grubby work, and it's not bad for just bath soap either, kinda nice on the skin. I avoid most colors because they can stain the shower and they just cost money.
For scents I use only essential oils, no fake scents. They last longer and are kinder to skin. Lavender and lemon grass is nice, also spruce cedar and fir needle for a Christmas soap, and I've even done cinnamon nutmeg, although that tends to make the soap bolt before it's poured so it's tricky.

It's a genetic thing. Olfactory Receptor 6A2 gene.
If you have it set the right way, you pick up some of the chemicals (aldehydes) in cilantro as soap-flavored/smelling.
So it's not an "acquired taste" thing; if you think it tastes like soap, you'll always think it tastes like soap. Until CRISPR-at-home lets you reprogram your own genetic code.

A lot like salt cod. Used to be you could get the whole dried fish, not just the fillets. Grandma would soak it in the bath tub for a week, and wasn't real keen on changing the water. The smell would knock a buzzard off a shitwagon.
The stew that resulted from this was ethereal. Mild, subdued, seductive...

Both before freezing and before drying. My mom called it "scalding" but the term I hear mostly is "blanching." But, yeah, if you don't they turn brown and nasty. Blanching kills some enzymes that make them keep sort of growing, which causes the "rust" that happens to turn them brown.

When I was a kid, my dad brought back some horseradish plants he dug up at the old farm in Wyoming. Planted them out by the dog yard, NOT in mom's garden, because she forbade him to. He would grate that stuff directly onto his dinner. It was so hot it burned my tongue. Wicked stuff, but man, it made some serious horseradish cream for beef roasts.

I worked for a local soap maker for a time. It is possibly to make a living doing it, but you won't get rich, and it's a lot of work. I toyed with the idea, but all that marketing and accounting would probably just piss me off. I'm more a maker and less a manager.

There isn't any other kind.
Used to be you soaked wood ashes, and then drained the water and used that. Naturally occurring lye. But you never knew how strong it was, so it was sort of hit and miss.
After the burning times, we will probably have to do that again. Until then, I buy mine at True Value.

Always make homemade vinaigrette, it’s easy peasy. And I do a lot of yogurt dressings when something creamy is required. But the Sunny’s brand has a few unique marinades and dressings that are really good and made with real stuff. The simple lemon is great to drizzle on anything when you are running around and just don’t have time.

On the one hand, I'm sad. He was a dimbulb but a perfect gentleman. On the other hand, I'm relieved.

The fricken 10" long nozzle hits the wheel's axle so that it doesn't seat firmly on the tire valve. I did manage to get one tire inflated. The second seemed to seat better but it was not taking air. Could be a defective valve.
Of course, I've been promising myself a small air compressor for a lot of reasons, so maybe this will push me over that edge...

Arizona doesn't change their clocks. BUT on our recent RV odyssey we overnighted in Tuba City* Az in the Navajo 'Nation' (NE Az). It was a long day and we didn't get in until 8:30 PM. Upon check-in they informed that the Navajo 'Nation' DOES observe DST so now it was 9:30 PM! We left the next morning for Mesa Verde.
*We didn't see a single Tuba the entire time we were there. Guess they keep them in a warehouse out of sight somewhere.

Garage door springs scare me. I'm a DIY kind of guy, and I've replaced more openers than I can remember, but when it comes to the springs, I call "The Guy".
I wonder if the DIY stores avoid stocking springs because of the potential for injuries, and the resulting potential liability.

Luxury!!
We’d have killed for shoelaces!
We used to wrap our feet in yesterday’s newspaper held on with spit and optimism. Every morning we’d hop three miles to the mill on broken glass, work thirty-one hours for a farthing, and when we got home our dad would make us iron the road with our tongues before bed… and that was on a good day!
Shoelaces?
Luxury beyond the dreams of avarice!
We had to lace our boots with bits of old washing line we’d borrowed from a blind man, and even then we only got one boot between the five of us. We took turns wearing it on alternate Tuesdays. The rest of the week we just sort of… suggested feet.
And you try telling that to the young people of today.

My friend would build these elaborate Halloween walk throughs. Back in 2009 I helped him construct a scaffold next to his hot tub. He ran a tube from one of the jets that delivered water to a shallow reservoir on top. The water would then cascade down one side. On the far side of the hot tub he placed an LED projector aimed toward the waterfall. Folks walking past would see a still image of a pirate battle. The sound of cannons and men shouting was piped in over his home theater sound system speakers. The effect was damned impressive. He constructed the whole thing from his head. No plans. Impressive...

WEATHER! WEATHER! WEATHER!
[Hat Tip: Dr_No] The hysterical overreaction to a run-of-the-mill autumn Nor'Easter that is currently hitting the northeast is embarrassing, and there is plenty to be embarrassed about when there isn't some rain and wind! It is -- of course -- driven by the frantic desire of the so-called "elites" and their lackeys in the compliant media for more evidence of the carbon apocalypse. Sadly for them, that evidence is shaky, and this year it is particularly pathetic because we haven't had a hurricane this season, and that is a very rare non-event! Because they blame all intense weather on AGW, or the more convenient, "Climate Change!" The shift was clever, because now they can blame literally everything on the world's insatiable desire for energy: too much rain or not enough rain...too hot or too cold...too much cloud cover or not enough cloud cover...it doesn't matter to them. The panic is the grift and the kink! So the colossal killer storm they predicted has turned into a three-day rain with a bit of wind. And the rain never fell particularly hard, so it has been nicely distributed with almost no pooling of water in my driveway! As for the wind? It is often windier around here when there isn't a Nor'Easter, so that should tell you how intense the weather has been. There are real issues however, but they will not be discussed by the bien pensants because it might contradict the dominant paradigm of AGW. With population growth and the concomitant covering of land with impermeable roads and houses and parking lots and stores, there has not been a commensurate increase in infrastructure to handle the water. And why is that? Because our state and local governments are consumed by other issues like CRT and Equity and Latinx Outreach and healthcare for undocumented voters and transsexual dance recitals in our schools... So when you turn on the news and see streets awash in a few feet of water, or subways that are flooded, realize that there are rational engineering solutions for many of these issues, but they are not prioritized. And those beach houses that float away? Many of those homes are built on barrier islands that are created and destroyed by the natural action of the ocean. When there were only a few homes on those islands it wasn't a big deal, but now, with increased wealth and population, more people are building, and more people are losing those homes! The media love the hysteria, and they play it up and try to terrify us, because terror is what they want. Never mind that they are showing America that they simply cannot be trusted...with anything! Not even the weather forecast.

Generally it means more rain and snow, interspersed with warm rain that may melt the snowpack.
In Oregon a dry winter is A WILDFIRE CAUSING SITUATION because it dries out the forests making fires more likely
A wet winter is A WILDFIRE CAUSING SITUATION because it can lead to lots of brush and grass growing in the forests making fires more likely

If you want the explanation for that according to the weather gurus, here it is:
This year's Super El Nino involves a significant rise over normal (around 3.5 degrees, I think) in the mid-latitude eastern Pacific Ocean surface temps.
That rise in temperature has created an atmosphere which has spread eastward into the mid-Atlantic.
That atmosphere produces conditions (vertical windshear, mainly) unfavorable to tropical cyclone generation in the main development area of the Atlantic basin.

In Oregon the thing that seems to have curbed the massive wildfires seems to have been a combination of allowing cutting on forest land by the feds to make firebreaks and access for the fire crews, and not giving the state extra money "for massive wildfires"
This year was being pushed as yet another massive fire year, up until the feds said, "nah, those don't qualify"

One of the three things Hurricanes need. What are the three?

3) Stable, non-shearing upper-level winds

I got to visit the new inlet that was formed between Frisco and Hatteras Village from Hurricane Isabel in '04. About a 100 yards wide, it took NCDOT a couple months to fill in and repave. Hatteras Village was cut off except by boat all that time. That one really messed the area up. There were houses, garages, way out in the Pamlico Sound.

Agreed!
However, Leftists claim the following:
1.) Global warming makes hurricanes worse
2.) Global warming makes more El Ninos (and therefore the negative effects that occur during El Ninos can be attributed to evil CO2.)
The alarmists like to claim that both ends of a teeter-totter are going to be in the bad "down position" more often. Kindergartners are smart enough to realize the falsity of that position.
When I point out that truth about El Ninos typically making the Atlantic hurricane season more gentle, they literally cannot process truthful information that does not fit inside their constructed narrative.

Just looked at Coleman's Wikipedia page. Don't remember him at WBBM or WMAQ.
Side note: one of the Chicago papers did a photo-question item daily, asked people on the street a question and published some answers, with a photo. Coleman was asked, 'What is your cold remedy?' and he answered, 'A shot of vodka in a glass of water. If that doesn't work, reverse the proportions.'

11 days here as well. Ran off emergency generator for those days. We have well water, so the generator powered that, the electric hot water heater (by shutting down a few other circuits for 30 minutes, as well. Fridge and basement freezer were powered too. Cable was out, but I still had my roof antennas for off air, so we were never really out of touch. What was funny, we still had a landline, so I plugged into the land line with an old Sony laptop and found an AOL modem in New Brunswick, so I was able to go online and send emails. Also, to read AOS HQ. Heh.

The NPS came by at the first hint of daylight, and shooed us onto the last ferry up to Hatteras, thence, we hied west to the Blue Ridge, where we still got lots of rain.

Now, I am not trying to make light of this storm, but it WAS NOT a hurricane! Yes it dropped some rain and had some serious winds, but NOTHING like what a hurricane would do.
Let's be honest, a nor'easter is a hurricane-lite. It's not even a tropical depression really. It's NOT a named storm (with how liberal NOAA is with "naming" lately). Anyone who has lived on the East Coast for more than 10-15 years would just prep a little and otherwise dismiss this.
What I am trying to say, is that storms like this are NORMAL in certain seasons (usually fall with rain, or late winter/early spring with a crapton of snow). So if you are PAYING ATTENTION, you know how to PREPARE.
If it's not obvious I am "late Boomer/nascent Gen X", so I think you should LEARN how to prepare and SURVIVE.

A big problem here was flushwater for commodes. I daily used my lawn tractor and small trailer to haul around 5 gallon containers of water, siphoned from a pool, to my neighbors. I've commented that all of our houses began to assume an aroma of unflushed commodes and spoiled food.

Arizona doesn't change their clocks. BUT on our recent RV odyssey we overnighted in Tuba City* Az in the Navajo 'Nation' (NE Az). It was a long day and we didn't get in until 8:30 PM. Upon check-in they informed that the Navajo 'Nation' DOES observe DST so now it was 9:30 PM! We left the next morning for Mesa Verde.
*We didn't see a single Tuba the entire time we were there. Guess they keep them in a warehouse out of sight somewhere.

Howdy, horde.
The week's reading was mostly a few of Joe Lansdale's Hap & Leonard novels, which were better than their tv series adaptations and the series adaptations were pretty good.
Continuations? I usually ignore them, finding the tone to be off. Take that Nancy strip up top. Years since I read newspaper comics, but I don't recall the Sunday Nancy strips as being as dark as the one at the top of the page. YMMV.

This gets even weirder when you factor in Expanded Universe novels (e.g., Star Wars, Star Trek, Warhammer 40K, etc.)
There, you may have adaptations of an entirely different medium (movies, television, and a table-top miniature game, in the aforementioned examples) into a novel form. As MP4 says, the world has already been created. Now the authors have to create characters and plots that are suitable for the setting. Some authors are more successful than others.

Also this week I found and read the Christopher Golden and Brain Keene anthology, The End of the World As We Know It. It's a collection of short stories set in the world of King's The Stand, in which the superflu wipes out 99.4% of humanity. I'd say about 15% of the stories are very good, three were superb, the rest are okay, and there was one about Indian (dot) people that I couldn't finish thanks to all the cultural references and terms. Fun stuff.

If the original creator approves it, I suppose it's all right. I still give it the side-eye, though. It's the same with the "book one of fourteen!" crowd. Just create one world and keep mining it until you exhaust the land. Seems like a cheap way of writing.

What do they do? Retreat? Leave the island?
No, they do what all sensible people do in a situation like this. They split the party into two groups. One group heads back to civilization to find more supplies. The other group stays behind to solve the mystery at the heart of the story. Being this is the Cthulhu Mythos, I predict it doesn't end well for either group.

*imitates pissing on computer to celebrate a successful comment*
*ahem* Anyway I understand the writer's impulse because the market's already there, and people tend to like successful name brands that satisfy their needs.
Very much the same thing as voting for Al Gore because Pappy Gore was such a Tennessee hack.
But, I don't think I've ever read a good one.
The first I remember, and was disappointed by, but was very popular was, "The Seven Percent Solution" by Nicholas Meyer, of Star Trek infamy IIRC.
TSPS was a pile, Holmes was basically a drug addict who needlessly harassed poor old Professor Moriarty teaching at Cambridge or some such place.
Buuuuut, best-seller and movie and I believe really started the whole low imagination, stealing characters genre. You know, Holmes VS Dracula, Holmes Builds His Dream Home, Fifty Shades of Holmes.
In short, not a fan.

I first noticed this pre-Miranda behavior in the radio version of "Dragnet." Sgts. Friday and Smith just entered homes and searched them as they pleased. And in a "Peter Gunn" episode, the police bugged the apartment of a fugitive's girlfriend on the chance that the guy would go there.
I think we've bent backward too far to protect criminals, but I'm glad that cops need warrants nowadays.
Back to "The Mugger": I'm annoyed that one culprit's M.O. is never explained.

He took exception to the "defects" I found in his work, which I admit disappointed me when I first read it. He admitted that the lack of a table of contents or index and some editorial issues, but stressed that the focus was on the individual stories, not the weapons, which could be found elsewhere.
I did a new post, copying his comment and noting that with time, I have come around to see his point of view, and my original review was more about my expectation than the product in front of my, very much how Tolkien took down the Beowulf critics for not appreciating the poem as it was, but instead projecting what they wanted it to be.
The posts are at ahlloyd.com if anyone cares. He commented on my newer post and was very complimentary and announced he has a volume on World War II trophies now available for those who are interested. (cont)

Sadly, the story is mostly interested in re-hashing the standard Arthurian tropes, with in an outlandish setting and with extra baggage. When something new is added to the characters, it's usually terrible. And the first half of the series ignores what should be the most pressing matter (the aliens) in favor of interpersonal drama. By the time the action picked up, I didn't care.
The art would have been good, but was utterly wasted on a genre mish-mash and a bad story. Not a recommendation.

Nobody has tried continuing John Dickson Carr's locked room/impossible crime stories with Dr. Gideon Fell, not that I know of. I doubt there are any writers with Carr's level of ingenuity today, even if a publisher were willing to try such a novel.
There were continuations of Rex Stout's Nero Wolfe & Archie Goodwin tales, by someone called Robert Goldsborough. The two I read did not have the sprightly, vigorous tone of Stout writing as Archie.

Seafield works for an online auction house and realized that the items he were selling had a lot of historic value and so he compiled the book to document them. It is a unique window into a world that I think most collectors have no idea exists. Perhaps the most startling discovery for me was the sheer variety of weapons recovered in Vietnam, which included American and German arms along with the usual Soviet bloc stuff.

I'm impressed. Francois Fenelon turns out to be a calm, perceptive voice that appears again in the Romantic poets and later with Chesterton, Wendell Berry, Tolkien, even parts of the Agrarian movement.
I got a copy of Fenelon's book, "The Adventures of Telemachus". It goes on my winter reading list.

Apparently, in the literary world, the result of a new author continuing a series started by another is called a continuation novel. In Anthony Horowitz' novel Marble Hall Murders, the protagonist, a book editor, rails against continuation novels when asked to edit one. The ironic thing is that Horowitz is known for, among other things, his excellent continuation novels, three James Bonds and two Sherlock Holmes.
Horowitz often includes authors and other literary figures in his books and usually presents them in a poor light. In Magpie Murders, for example, highly succesful novelist Alan Conway is presented as a bitter and hateful man who hates nobody more than his fans. It makes we wonder if that is the way he sees himself and his profession or it he is merely having some fun.

Also amusing was the author's notes at the end the end of the first couple issues. (Printed in lieu of letter pages, since no letters had yet been written) The author basically explained the research he did for the story, explaining the original Arthur legends. It was interesting to see that some of the stuff that we might consider 'revisionist' Arthurian history (like what went into the 2004 movie) was already known in 1983.

Posted by: pawn at September 27, 2026 09:35 AM (XKNhI)
Ivan was only three years old when his father died, and a group of nobles called Boyars formed a ruling council to guide the country while he matured. At 16, he was named Tsar in a nod to the Roman Empire. During this time, the country was still subject to periodic raids from Mongols in Kazan. Ivan fought and defeated them, growing Russia to the Volga, and then disbanded the Boyar council. In celebration of his victory, he ordered St Basil's cathedral built, one of the most identifiable buildings in the world.
As he expanded the size of Russia and also his power, his moodiness grew. He formed the first secret police, and began the first purges in Russia. As time went by, his fits of rage came more often, and in one he fatally struck his heir, dooming the house of Rurik. His sickly younger son was the last of the line.

Discworld would be tough. So much of that world is based on satirizing other works (particularly Shakespeare) that AI would not do a very good job of imitating Pratchett's distinctive satirical outlook on culture.

What I really don't like, however, is when the story is just a rehash of the original. I'll always choose a new adventure of established characters over a story whose purpose is 'look how I've re-imagined the characters you love.' Another of my recent reads was "Wicked West: Legend of Oz" which started off kind of lame, but got more interesting once it finished rehashing Dorothy's story and moved on to...well it may have been new stories, or it may have been rehashing sequel stories that were at least new-to-me.

"Describe the opening scene of a Hardy Boys story set in the world of George Jetson."
I'm impressed with the result. Because we have a word limit here, I'll just quote a snippet.
The alarm clock in Frank Hardy’s bedroom didn’t ring so much as take off.
It rose from the nightstand on tiny jets, circled his head twice, and projected a red message across the ceiling:
UNAUTHORIZED ENTRY—JETSON CITY SKYWAY 7
Frank sat up. Outside the window, the city glowed beneath him: towers floating on magnetic platforms, traffic lanes curling through the clouds, and delivery robots zipping between homes like fireflies. Somewhere above, a commuter pod honked impatiently.

69 How terrible can a man be who vastly increases the size of his country, and creates it's first parliament? Ivan Vasilyevech became the first Tsar of Russia in 1547, and his story is told by Benson Bobrick in Fearful Majesty. Ivan had periods of brilliance interspersed with bouts of madness, which makes his story even more compelling. “
There are interesting parallels between Ivan and Henry VIII, who ruled at the same time. Henry created the English Navy and vastly expanded England’s power and importance - and we’ve also been telling tales of his monstrous personal life for 5 centuries now. Great Man or Tyrant? As is often the case, both.

Finally, Will Henry's newest collection of his Wallace the Brave comic strips. There is a bit of Calvin in Wallace: the unending exuberance of a little boy with his little boy assumptions and imagination. Each panel includes subtle, small 'bits' (often a seagull or fish) that add to the humor. Thoroughly enjoyable and they make me laugh out loud.

The first continuation novel, new to publishing in those days I think, was Kingsley Amis's Colonel Sun, written as by "Robert Markham." It's quite good. I lost interest in the ones done by John Gardner (not the literary author); they updated Bond to a degree, but didn't capture the real flavor.
Now we have Horowitz's stories set in the original 1950s time period: Trigger Mortis, for instance, takes place just after Goldfinger and features Pussy Galore and Bond continuing their affair, for a time. That one had the action and the "incredible suspense" (as the Signet paperback blurbs had it) of the originals.

Ironically, that sort of thing is one of my earliest memories of reading. I was reading through "The Boxcar Children" novels, kids-mystery novels, featuring a family of kids, with the older kids aging out of the story as the series progressed. Then all of a sudden, a new author took over, and the timeline re-set back to the middle. But that may be as much due to editorial mandate as the new author...

I believe the issue here would be that the AI could only imitate what has come before, so you would be reading similar stories and plots over and over again.

Stout did the former with Wolfe and Archie, and the Queen cousins to a lesser degree with Ellery and the Inspector. Though Ellery himself changes quite a bit. In the earliest books he's a young bookworm who can't help spouting quotations from everybody he learned about at Harvard. By the middle of the series, he's better: He knows these things, but isn't going around showing off his erudition. Then he hits a period, 1940-1957, where he finds that his logic often steers him wrong and people die as a result; and he becomes much more human still.

I'd think a writer with a long running series would want to let his character age if only for the additional complications it would introduce to some of the stories; could help keep it fresh for the writer.

Maybe it's because Sunny is normal, likes men, loves her job, admires her father the former cop, and has no ideas of being able to beat up men twice her size. She's perfectly willing to pull a gun when necessary and to accept help from the men in her life. I guess that's anathema to modern female readers?
The Sunny Randall stories, the Jesse Stones, and the Spensers are all part of the same universe, and characters from one wander over to others. Jesse and Sunny have an affair at one point, for instance, and Susan Silverman, Spenser's lady friend, appears in one of the Sunny tales.

He'd have been perfect casting for Jesse when he was young -- Parker's character is in his early thirties or so when the book series begins -- and was perfect casting as the older Stone in the TV movies. I wonder if Parker had him in mind. Night Passage, the first JS, appeared in 1997, and Selleck had been a TV and movie star since the '80s.

Craig Johnson's Walt Longmire and Henry Standing Bear are vaguely old, but not so old they aren't incredibly tough, strong, and attractive to young women. Robert Crais' Joe Pike and Elvis Cole never seem to age. They are all Vietnam vets and must be in their 80s by now, but you'd never know.

It's always interesting, though it doesn't always work out, when a lead actor writes a script for his own series. It worked for Robert Culp on I Spy, though he was a very good writer anyway (Harlan Ellison called him friend and lauded his work).
More often, I think, the lead takes over certain of the producing chores. The producer is important to the final product, as he chooses a great many elements, including the writers. Not sure it worked for Gilmore Girls when Lauren Graham became an executive producer; the latter episodes of the show are considered inferior to those of the earlier years.

One of the early stories — "The State of the Art" I think — had the Culture refusing to make contact with 1970s Earth because we still had capital punishment. But one of the final novels (Surface Detail) seems to suggest murdering people is fine as long as they are thinly-veiled Rupert Murdoch caricatures.
In short, I think maybe the mask was just slipping.

Spenser was in Korea; it's mentioned in a couple of the early novels in the series, when Korea was only 18-20 years back. (I've always thought it an interesting idea to write a story about the young Spenser coming through the 4077th M*A*S*H and meeting the young Margaret Houlihan. Same with the young Napoleon Solo, who was also there.)

Good point. If humans are so violent, they are very unlikely to mount a successful starfaring project and will present little danger to the galaxy.
On the other hand, it's a chance for the author to comment on the nature of humans and on the futility/horror of war.

Could be.
Modern Brit authors like Banks and Stross suggest that the only problem with communism is one of scarcity and delivery of resources.
That's why they're all so fired up about the idea of a "post-scarcity" society with a "livable wage for all".
In their view a post-scarcity society does away with things like morality and religion, culture, and even biology.
That really seems to be a hugely gross misreading of human nature.
We live in what's very close to being a post-scarcity society with capitalism, and yet look at all the a-holes trying to tear it down.

I think that raises an interesting point. How many comic strips actually hold up over time? Calvin and Hobbes, as long as little boys aren't to be drugged senseless. Peanuts, I think does. They never tried to be topical; their themes are timeless. But Lil' Abner and Pogo don't. And nobody can remember when Doonesbury was in the least bit funny.

Very few. In fact, I can't think of any that have managed to continue on from their original versions, unless the version began as a joke-a-day comic. Beetle Bailey was much richer in dialogue and art for the first ten years. Pogo jumped the shark when Kelly thought his mockery of Joe McCarthy made him America's conscience. Barney Google and Popeye were lavishly drawn and immensely fascinating under the pens of DeBeck and Segar. They were nothing like the limping, pallid ghosts of today.
I should do a post about comic strips.

JTB is right - early Doonesbury, the strips which mocked the Black Panthers, campus sit-ins and Mike's non-existent love life, were funny. Even his Nixon strips had their funny moments (my fave is when Nixon's jut-out-of-jail aides meet for a reunion and sing "We're Richard Nixon's Secret Tapes Club Band!"
But he lost his sense of humor years ago. The same with "Tom Tomorrow" and Ruben Bolling.

Michael Kurland wrote several pastiches on the Holmes "cannon" from the point of view of an American reporter who was recruited by Prof. Moriarty for a term of years in return for springing him out of a Turkish prison where he was held for a crime he did not commit.
Moriarty, in this series, is not the Napoleon of crime, but instead is a "consulting criminal" planning capers for the London underworld to gain funds to continue his mathematical investigations which appear to be around gravity and possibly general relativity.
The Infernal Device and Death by Gaslight are the two I have read. There are apparently more

Heh.
No, it's fine. Nicholas Meyer's "Seven Percent Solution" is enjoyable. Most others I encounter are vaguely annoying.
With "Lair of the White Worm," I think I'm in the clear since it's not exactly an iconic novel full of memorable characters and people aren't reading Stoker for his stylish prose.

Next up would be the Conan stories written by tons of people. Again, they all seem to miss some core element that Robert E. Howard had, with even the best by Karl Edward Wagner, L Sprague de Camp, and Lin Carter just not matching.
I am definitely not a big fan of Derleth's Mythos work, which I think drags Carter's Xothic stories down a bit. Conversely, I love Howard's and Clark Ashton Smith's Mythos works. While not Lovecraft, they have a real spirit and coherence that stands on its own.

Bedtime reading is one of those 'Clancy' novels, 'Dead or Alive' actually by a fellow named Blackwood. The writing is just so-so. The Clancy/Mark Greaney novels were better.
I note that Skip mentions above further reading of 'The Gathering Storm'. It is remarkable how the politicains/diplomats of the world powers sat on their hands as post-WWI Germany re-armed. The parallels with current affairs vis-a-vis Iran are remarkable.

Aspirin's novels fell off drastically when he added a co-writer. (Though who knows how much writing anyone does on these things?)
Smith's Cthulhu mythos are not Lovecraft, but they are their own thing, which is fine.
And I have the chronological Conan stories, where the Howard stories shine and the others (mostly) are slogs. (Which is kind of hard for a short story.)
It's kind of fascinating.

Almost 18 days on the road, and finally finished back home last night.
Almost a week in Vegas, visited with son and DiL before his deployment which begins today.
Road trip up the eastern shore and across the Chesapeake Bay Bridge tunnel during this nor'easter.
Multiple days in Baltimore with MiL working on home repairs before winter sets in.
And first night back home, the morning temps right now are only 49 degrees.
And church in a few hours.

At 290,000 miles the car didn't use a drop of oil during the trip, and on the return run from Baltimore to Summerville SC we averaged 71 miles per hour for the 568 mile trip at 28.9 miles per gallon.
New in 2006 it was EPA rated at 27 MPG highway.

Google “Metal Scrap Dealers” in your area and contact them about your copper.
Tell them what you have, and ask how much it’s worth, and what, if any, paperwork you need or have to fill out.
You might find it’s not worth your time if it’s not a lot of tubing and it’s too much of a hassle to sell it.

I don't recall being "Hot for teacher " although I do recall a nice looking guy in his twenties who was my English teacher. He didn't like teaching and went into something else. I also had a funny teacher ( Can't recall which grade-maybe 5th?) . He had a phone in his desk and used to interrupt class by saying he had to take a call from the President. I think he became a truck driver.

Just going down the list of teachers at a local elementary school (Canada) and looking at the first names:
73% female
19% male
8% ambiguous, couldn't automatically determine sex from the first name, it's one of those that can be given to both males and females.
The list is outdated though (probably last year) as I know one of the male teachers has moved on to another school.

When I look back on my years in school from the 80s into the 90s, it wasn't really all that different.
I can remember some male teachers in school, but it was probably 80-85% female even back then.
I actually had more male professors in college classes but even then it was probably 70/30.
I think women are just naturally drawn to teaching for whatever reason.

The Lotus Eaters were hammering this point over and over again for a few months on the same thing going on in the UK.
They went through the official numbers, news articles and other sources and came to the conclusion that the entire youth unemployment rate in England can be explained by the fact that all the entry-level jobs for young people were filled by imported migrants.
I'm sure the same thing is happening in Canada and Oz, to some extent, and here as much as they can get away with it.

I can remember some male teachers in school, but it was probably 80-85% female even back then.
I actually had more male professors in college classes but even then it was probably 70/30.
I think women are just naturally drawn to teaching for whatever reason.
Posted by: SpeakingOf at September 27, 2026 07:44 AM (6ydKt)
Yeah, it depends on what grade you are in, I think. I didn’t have a male teacher until 3rd Grade. None after until 6th, from that point onwards they just increased in number. It reflects life in a way. Women gravitate towards the younger kids (you see this in elementary school) and men the older kids. I would not want to teach any younger than, say, 7th Grade.

It was probably middle school when I had my first male teacher, too.
He was a big bear of a man, with a long white beard (he could've passed for Santa Claus). Taught math and was a very good teacher.
Before that it was all female from K -5.

That, and celebrating Cleveland baseball. An unlikely victorious season. One human interest story that has emerged is Jo Adell, an outfielder who has spent his entire professional career in the hapless Anaheim Angels organization, until being traded this season to Cleveland. His tremendous joy at winning a division and getting to play in a postseason tournament is wonderful to see.

The house they pick in Connecticut, an hour's train ride from Manhattan, is a dump: Three or four construction people advise, "Tear it down." They do, design their own place, and the costs mushroom. I figure if you multiply all the amounts given by 20, you'd come close to today's prices. An $18,000 mortgage in 1948 = ca. $360,000 today . . . but I doubt an ad exec makes $300,000 a year in NYC nowadays unless he's a partner in the firm.
The lesson, given by his buddy (Melvyn Douglas), is that sometimes the things you buy with your heart rather than your head are the things that really count.

Remember all my K-6 & high school teachers' names, but only about 2/3 of 7th-8th grade, probably because there was a lot of team teaching so not just one teacher per class.
Only 2 of the 20 teachers in my grade school were male, both taught 6th grade. Had one of them as a math teacher.

In grammar school, you knew who would be your teacher the next year, since each one taught only one grade (unless she left). But in jr. high and high school, it was a crap shoot. The first day of school was terrifying, because you did not know into whose clutches you'd be delivered for the next nine months.

Same here. Started school in 1952, and had a few teachers, older female, that my mom had in the 20's. They were close to retirement by that time. Even the principal in elementary school was female, bearing a resemblance to Margaret Hamilton. Very nice, but strict lady. Mom had her as a teacher back in the late 20's. She retired around the time I was in the 3rd grade. No male teachers until Junior High. Those female teachers in the 50's were not to be trifled with!!

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.🙏🙏🙏

(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 🥳🎊

Of course, that would leave Pooky to deal with Pookette, and that would probably result in a literal nuclear explosion.

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.🙏🙏🙏

If you're in that area, don't miss the Parowan Gap Petroglyphs. It's a natural cut through a ridge, maybe a hundred yards long, but the rocks are covered in petroglyphs. I've never seen so many in my life total, not just in one place. There's a few 19th century "killroy was here" rock scratchings as well.

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.

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.😜

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

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.

It is still stormy outside, occasional bands of rain and gusty winds, but it is not anywhere near as bad as predicted. I had a brief power blip last night and I went to bed but power was restored in about 20 minutes. I am grateful.

Ouch! I was mowing the lawn today, and was so glad no one was around to see me. I turned to mow around a tree, and somehow stepped on my own foot so I spun around and landed flat on my face. Luckily relatively soft grass so I was ok, but I must have looked a like a total retard having a spasm.

Miss that old girl. She was otherwise well-behaved. Did not beg/bother us for our food. Stayed out of the kitchen, didn't get into the trash can.
She kept her toys all in a row! (lots of herding genes in her mix)

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.

Well, I see what MeTV is doing. They seemed to be running a Star Trek marathon of the best episodes. No wonder, this is the 60th anniversary of Star Trek.
The first episode aired on Sept. 8, 1966.

Now *there's* a lack of honor! They spilled more booze than I've ever seen. Totally sloppy.

If you would suggest that makers of Cocktail are without honor, and should perform Seppuku, I would not disagree.

Nomad was asshoe.
Posted by: JQ at September 27, 2026 03:32 AM (rdVOm)
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.
Posted by: publius, Rascally Mr. Miley (w6EFb) at September 27, 2026 03:37 AM (w6EFb)
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...
