Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Take Your Ball And Go Home! That Is How To End The Transgender Rot In Women's AthleticsThis is the template for the return of sanity to women's sports in America. College administrators are feckless worms who will do their progressive masters' bidding, so they are part of the problem. And the NCAA is even worse. Just listen to Mike Rowe's interview with Riley Gaines (the swimmer who tied with Will Thomas) if you want a sense of how corrupted by the Woke agenda the NCAA is. But the women who are in danger of catastrophic injury are the solution. These are the women who are supposed to be protected by their colleges and by the NCAA. These are the women whose athletic careers are damaged by competing and losing against men masquerading as women. These are the women who risk injury by competing against those men. And they have had enough! Fifth Women’s College Volleyball Team Forfeits Match Against San Jose State“We, the University of Nevada Reno women’s volleyball team, forfeit against San Jose State University and stand united in solidarity with the volleyball teams of Southern Utah University, Boise State University, the University of Wyoming, and Utah State University,” they wrote. However, the University of Nevada itself stated that the match will “move forward” as planned, citing Nevada state laws and NCAA regulations. It said the rules require that competitions be held in “an inclusive and supportive environment,” adding that players are free to choose not to participate, and those who skip the game will not face disciplinary action. [bolding mine] Notice that they are not being supported by their university or the NCAA. But both of those pathetic organizations must dance along a very thin line. On one side is the health and well-being of the athletes they are supposed to protect, and on the other side are the insane demands of the narcissistic cowards pretending to be women. Sadly, those failed male athletes are celebrated and defended by the progressive left and Homosexual Inc., and they have tremendous power in academia. And notice the Orwellian language..."inclusive and supportive environment?" For whom? Certainly not the women athletes, because their careers and health are in constant jeopardy because of the craven and cowardly behavior of their universities and the NCAA. So that inclusion and support is for the vanishingly small number of supposed "trans" athletes whose sporting careers were mediocre, so they decided to grow their hair and wear women's clothing! Will Thomas is a great example of this lunacy. He has intact male genitalia, and an intact male musculoskeletal structure. How does that qualify him to swim against women? Long hair? A woman's swim suit? That's all it takes? Regardless, the women at these five schools have finally taken a stance against this insanity. Hopefully this trend expands to every single women's sport in America, and these failed pretend women will be sent packing. Does anyone want to bet that many of them will quietly return to their correct sex, when their narcissistic dreams are dashed by these real women standing up to them?

I remember a news bimbo was interviewing Jordan Peterson and said something to the effect of, "Don't you think refusing to use tranny pronouns makes those students feel unwelcome?" And he shut her up as he often does with leftist twerps but this is a pattern the left engages in - pretend that the people that don't want to join the left's jihad of the day are just big meanies instead of having deeply held disagreements with the jihad's topic.

LEGO minifigs can be set up in all sorts of cool diorama situations. In this case, it's a bit hard to tell, but it looks almost like something from an Agatha Christie story. All of the minifigs are sitting around in the library. One appears to be a police officer who might be on the scene to question witnesses to a murder. And the library has a cat! FOUR KINDS OF HORROR: When it comes to horror there are quite a few subgenres, a little something for just about every horror afficionado out there. I think most of them can be described as some combination of the following categories of horror: Biological Horror This type of horror feeds on one of our most primal fears: death. We are mortal creatures, but we seldom like to confront our own mortality directly. Biological horror--or horror of the body--exposes us to that fear, if only vicariously, through the adventures of the protagonists confronted by evil that seeks to deprive them of their lives or otherwise damage their physical forms. Mary Shelly's Frankenstein is one of the most famous examples of this, as Victor Frankenstein seeks to conquer death itself by reanimating his own Creature composed of the decayed remains of numerous human victims. The Creature is almost always depicted in literature as a scarred, disfigured behemoth with freakish strength, nearly invulnerable to conventional weapons. Bram Stoker's Dracula preys on more subtle fears, as Dracula has the power to turn his victims into lesser copies of himself. He and his minions feed on the blood of humans to survive. Both Frankenstein's monster and Dracula pose difficult physical challenges to the protagonists of their respective stories, and both use biological horror to terrify their victims. Psychological Horror Although we all fear death deep down inside, we also fear being driven mad, when we are convinced that we now occupy a different reality than the one we were raised to believe in. Psychological horror explores our fears, our insecurities, our anxieties, and our phobias. In Dean Koontz's The Face of Fear, the main protagonist, Graham, must confront his deepest fears about climbing after suffering from PTSD due to a bad fall while climbing Mt. Everest. Meanwhile, a serial killer is stalking Graham and his girlfriend through an empty office building. The Butcher is intent on causing as much fear and chaos in New York City as a prelude to taking over the world! (Yes, this plot is straight out of Pinky and the Brain despite being written decades earlier.) Supernatural Horror Whereas biological horror and psychological horror involve terrors of the body and mind, respectively, supernatural horror has a spiritual dimension. Evil ghosts, poltergeists, and demons inhabit this domain. Often one of the greatest challenges for the protagonists is to accept the existence of supernatural horror, as they've been raised to be rationalists, pragmatists, and otherwise skeptical that supernatural entities are real. Supernatural horror can be deeply personal for the victims as the demonic forces target us in our innermost heart, striking at us where we are most vulnerable to their influence. Depending on the writer, there may be an even more powerful spiritual force for good that can save the heroes, but they must relinquish their old belief system and take a leap of faith. Frank de Felitta's Golgotha Falls is a good example of this. A demonic force corrupts and desecrates a small rural church so thoroughly that it declares, "Christ was defeated at Golgotha Falls!" Naturally, it is proven wrong by the end of the story, but the protagonists need to bring in the big guns, i.e., the Pope himself is called upon to intervene spiritually. (NOT the current Pope! It was written in 1984, so he's clearly an expy of Pope John Paul II.) Cosmic Horror Of all of the types of horror, this one is the youngest, I think. The works of H.P. Lovecraft are among the most famous examples, though Lovecraft was drawing upon earlier inspirations such as William Hope Hodgson and Lord Dunsany. Unlike supernatural horrors, which take a direct interest in the affairs of mortal creatures, cosmic horrors see us as insignificant bugs in the greater scheme of things. The universe is so vast and strange that humans are barely an afterthought to beings that are so far beyond our understanding that to even gaze upon one can drive us to madness. It's a cold, unfeeling world out there and we have no place in it. Many authors like to mix and match these to evoke the desired reaction in their reader. For instance, Hannibal Lector from Silence of the Lambs by Thomas Harris is a cannibal (bio horror) but he's also a highly skilled psychiatrist and loves to toy with his victims' minds. F. Paul Wilson's Repairman Jack series features quite a bit of both biological and cosmic horror, but also features a protagonist who is not above using psychological horror on bad guys who are messing with his clients. One notable example: A couple of thieves steal Christmas toys from a charity that helps crack-addicted and AIDS-afflicted children. Jack tracks them down. To send a message, he dresses up as Santa Claus, straps on a couple of lead-weighted boxing gloves, and beats the crap out of both of them. He then straps them to the front of the truck they used to steal the toys, and drives the truck back to the charity before calling the cops. The thieves are now terrified of Santa Claus (as they should be!).At Biden's Dog's recommendation, I did check out Fischer's bio page on Wikipedia. It does seem like he was very conflicted when it came to Communism. He wasn't a fan of Stalin's brutality, I guess, but didn't quite make the connection that it was that very brutality that was the endpoint of Communism. It's always someone else's fault when Communism inevitably fails. MORON RECOMMENDATIONS

With all my science fiction and fantasy reading I've been neglecting my history jones, so it's on to "Love to Love You Bradys: the Bizarre Story of The Brady Bunch Variety Hour". I caught Susan Olsen on a podcast talking about it and knew I had to check it out. Apart from riffs such as "The Simpson Family Smile-Time Variety Hour", it's been justifiably relegated to the ash heap of TV history. Says Susan, "I believe this show's time has arrived! With the nostalgic love for the horror that was the 70's aesthetic, there is no more garish a Technicolor display than "the Brady Bunch Variety Hour". Bring it out to the light of day! We mustn't forget it happened. For we who survived, and for future generations."
I never tuned in as a kid; even then, I had standards. I was not surprised to learn that the spliff-yellowed hands of Sid and Marty Krofft were instrumental in bringing it to horrifying fruition. "You just have to get stoned and watch it because it all makes sense when you're stoned." --- writer Bruce Vilanch I was charmed to learn that the cast genuinely loved working with each other and that's one of the reasons they agreed to do it (and of course money).

Half Price Books offered all of three bucks for an early printing of a Perry Mason novel and a few other books. I had thought the PM would have fetched more than that by itself, but I accepted the offer -- no need to bring them home.
I got "con buzz" at the flagship store, buying at least one TC that I could have passed. However, I also scored two of the later books in the Liturgical Mysteries series. I never have seen this series locally, but its frequent mentions in the Book Thread drew my interest. Then I went to one more HPB store, where I hit the jackpot -- "Nobody's Perfect," a Donald Westlake Dortmunder novel that I've hunted for more than two years; "With a Single Spell," which gained notice in the BT just a few weeks ago; and "Taking Flight," another book in that series by Lawrence Watt-Evans. With Halloween near, I'll go back into "Ghosted," a short-lived horror caper series by Image Comics. The setup: Mr. Bigbucks breaks Hotshit Thief out of a state slammer to organize the heist of a ghost. I own all four TCs but never got further than No. 1. Once more into the breach.

Morning, Book Folken!
I just finished a John Dickson Carr that I think I'd read once before, Till Death Do Us Part (1944). Dr. Fell and a playwright who specializes in psychological mysteries, the viewpoint character, investigate the death of a man in one of Carr's signature locked rooms: All the windows and doors are fastened on the inside, and the victim has died from an injection of prussic acid (cyanide). At first the idea is suicide, but the fellow clearly was not the type and had no motive to do so; and there was more to him than met the eye as well. There's a love story too, as Carr often did, integrated with the main plot. The murderer is well concealed (I didn't remember who it was), but the story is fairly clued. Dynamite stuff.

During my road trip I listened to the audio book version of Hillbilly Elegy as read by J.D. Vance.
Almost seven hours long. Wish I could say I liked it. But truthfully I can't say I DIDN'T like it either. I think it's just that there were some aspects of it I didn't like. It's too long and needs an editor. It moves too slowly and he relates one dysfunctional event after another. Three hours in and you're wondering if he'll EVER get out of seventh grade. There's also a good bit of profanity that's necessary for character development, but I still found it distasteful. But I'm glad I listened to it and it wasn't so bad that I couldn't finish it. That said, I certainly don't want to see the movie. Posted by: Quarter Twenty at October 27, 2024 09:12 AM (dg+HA) 16

My current book is another John Dickson Carr, from 1958 but set in '48: The Dead Man's Knock, set at a small private college in PA or NJ. So far only two practical jokes that almost resulted in murders have occurred; the story up to this point is about the viewpoint character, a young professor at the college, and his troubles with his marriage. But Dr. Fell is soon to make an appearance.
Carr's supreme ability lay not only in constructing and solving these impossible crimes he sets up, but also in showing character and character conflict -- and his skill at evoking atmosphere, often creepy or edge-of-the-supernatural. As he pointed out in one of his essays on the detective story, those can provide clues as well as physical stuff.

But at least up to War! Posted by: Skip at October 27, 2024 09:02 AM (fwDg9) --- I'm at the point where he "rats" the Tories, to whom he will "re-rat" decades later. This part is more informative to me because in his autobiography Churchill gives less details. An interesting contemporary detail is that the cause of his split was a dispute over tariffs. The Liberals didn't like them, the Tories did. Of course, the economic situation was very different to ours. The Edwardian economy was still largely subsistence agriculture and because England was out of arable land, food had to be imported and the large landholders could not compete with (for example) American grain. Thus, lowering tariffs had the practical effect of stretching working wages farther. It was only later that the argument became that there was some sort holy obligation to produce everything as cheaply as possible, regardless of the environmental and human cost.

Morning, Horde.
Nothing systematic in the week's reading. Skipped around in some of the essays in Murder off the Rack (on vintage paperback noir writers) and some of the pieces in Donald Westlake's The Getaway Car. Thinking I'm due for a revisit to a bunch of Westlake (the Parker novels, some of the stand-alones, like Kahawa, The Ax, and The Hook). And The Hook might appeal to the denizens of the book thread. Think the book business meets Strangers on a Train. Posted by: Just Some Guy at October 27, 2024 09:26 AM (q3u5l) 28
I'm on my continuing Joe Abercrombie streak. I'm on "The Trouble with Peace" which is just as dystopian and depressing as all of the other books in the series but with some good characters.
The girlbossing is strong in this series but alas... they aren't Mary Sue characters at least. The supreme girlboss in this series spent the majority of the first book eating shit sandwiches (literally) so I'll give it a pass. And her girlbossing isn't in a physical/combat way. In fact there was a great scene where she was practicing fencing with the best knight in the country and she was sick and tired of him holding back and taking it easy on him - her father granted permission for the knight to show her what the real world is like and she was instantly regretting that decision. Her talents lie in manipulation, business sense and cold-hearted ruthlessness... using her money and sex to get what she wants. Posted by: Defenestratus at October 27, 2024 09:26 AM (SGyXu) 29

I have to admit the horror genre never appealed to me. If I want to get terrified, I read the news or look at my bank balance.
I do enjoy H.P. Lovecraft, but that's because he's so campy and over-the-top - very similar to R.E. Howard. They were a pair. But I can't take any of his stuff remotely seriously, it's just fun watching him do the latest spin on "I'm a very educated, erudite man and OH GOD I"M GOING INSANE!1!"

609 years ago last Friday, Henry V of England met an overwhelming French army and shockingly defeated it. Agincourt by Juliet Barker tells the full story of the original band of brothers.
England had ruled much of Western France for decades, but in recent years, France was becoming more belligerent.The dauphin and his faction in France were flexing their muscles after consolidating their power among the various families across the country. While Henry asserted his title as king of both England and France, the French refused to accept the idea, and assembled a massive army of 20,000 men or more, including hundreds of knights and mercenary crossbowmen. Henry brought an invasion force and took the port of Harfleur, and then marched north with around 6,000 troops and longbowmen to Agincourt. In a battle that is still renowned, Henry won a decisive victory. Barker lays out the complete history of the royal families involved, the logistics, and the best available evidence of how this battle developed and was fought.

Last night I finished Patricia Volks Stuffed. Its a memoir/collection of vignettes about growing up as a part of the Morgens restaurant family. Its a very interesting glimpse of New York City in the garment district in the sixties, seventies, and possibly eighties.
Sewing on a button, like avoiding eye contact on the subway, is a basic life skill. It isnt so much about the family as their relationships, especially her father (I suspect the book was triggered by his death in 2000.) But its also about a New York and an America that dont exist today. Shes a very funny writer, even during moments of heartbreak. I was initially disappointed when I started reading it because I thought it was a cookbook memoir; now Im glad to have made that mistake. This last store was the hub of the garment center in the hub of the city in the hub of the nation thats the hub of the planet. Mom and dad fed the people that clothed the country when MADE IN AMERICA was the label of choice. Posted by: Stephen Price Blair at October 27, 2024 09:36 AM (EXyHK) 44

I suppose there is a certain irony insofar as my first book, Battle Officer Wolf is technically sci-fi horror, but that was merely an attempt to create the sense of dread that hung over Heorot in the original Beowulf tale.
A lot of stories need tension, a sense of fear for the characters, but horror has always seemed a bit contrived. I think at least half of the horror scenarios I've come across could have been solved with a .38. Wasn't that how the original Halloween ended, with Blofeld drilling the dude? (Imagine going to a shirnk and it's Blofeld trying to turn over a new leaf. Over to you, Eris!) Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at October 27, 2024 09:37 AM (llXky) 46

Very little reading this week (a little bit of Paradis Lost, Christ is riding into the angelic war to defeat Satan and send him packing) and a little G. K. Chesterton, but not much of either book.

Wolfus,
Thanks for the mention of Richard Matheson's "Crickets" last week -- I'd somehow missed reading that one, and it is delightfully creepy. This week for Halloween, I'm planning to revisit some of Leiber's ("Smoke Ghost," "Girl with the Hungry Eyes," his novel Our Lady of Darkness [lots of nods to M.R. James in that one]); also Jackson's The Haunting of Hill House, several Ramsey Campbell short stories, and a few by Kealan Patrick Burke. Burke's "Empathy" is one of the creepiest things I've ever read. Campbell edited a book of stories in the M.R. James tradition called Meddling with Ghosts, and his own entry in that book, "The Guide," is a nice creepy Halloween treat too. Meddling with Ghosts is hard to come by, but you can find Campbell's story in his collections Waking Nightmares. Good stuff. Posted by: Just Some Guy at October 27, 2024 09:45 AM (q3u5l) 59

I have always had a lot of questions about the Catholic church even though brought up as Catholic. The approach back then (maybe now for all I know) for kids was straight memorization. No understanding or context which made me agnostic. Anyway, the desire to understand and appreciate the church has been growing so I picked up The Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2nd edition. Just started but I'm actually beginning to get some sense of what the last 2,000 years have been about. The book is over nine hundred pages so this will take awhile. It could be quite the voyage of discovery.

Our priest has also been touching on Halloween. It seems that my little slice of heaven and the diocese it covers is becoming even more traditional then it was when we moved here. He hasn't outright said that your children shouldn't dress as witches, zombies, etc. However he has warned about the evil that can be promoted by people who push for gore and mayhem and glorifying the devilish aspects of Halloween and promote it as fun, also here little boy or girl have some tasty candy. Maybe we can turn you into little satanists who grow to be true believers.

This week I finished reading the "Mystic Omnibus," a giant book that collects the entire 43 issues of a comic book from back in the early 2000's. It takes place in a magical world, where society has developed into a magically-powered 1920's. So demon-butlers, and crystal ball-radios....It's not the greatest premise, and the two styles (guild-robes and business-suits) never quite mesh right. It doesn't help that the writers don't always take the book seriously, and aren't above winking at the audience or turning an entire issue into a joke...
Story-wise, a random event gives a party-girl extreme magical powers, at the direct expense of the high-mages of the world. This leads to the resurrection of an old world-threatening villainess, whom our hero must deal with. That takes up the first half of the comic, after which the story takes a step back to do some world-building. This isn't as exciting as the first story-arc, but does allow for the next threat to be foreshadowed and slowly built-up. This arc gets a rushed, but still satisfying conclusion, and the last few story-points are a stinger for a big cross-over event that never happened, due to the publisher's bankrupcy...

John Varley wrote the novella, Press Enter, which is a sort of horror tale, boy meets girl investigating the meaningless suicide of a hacker, boy loses girl when she commits suicide for the same reason, boy removes all technology and disconnects his house from all power sources after the computers induce him to try to commit suicide himself.

I recently reread the first twenty issues of Ghost Rider. Two things before I have to leave: the series is heavily improved by removing the comic book colors and making it black and white; and whoever wrote it had a knowledge of Catholicism that might have been superficial in its time but would be considered much deeper today.

Posted by: JTB at October 27, 2024 09:50 AM (yTvNw) --- There's a running joke in Catholic circles that whenever someone prefaces a statement about the Church by saying "I want to Catholic school" they are about to recite heresy. I converted in 2006, and a heavy emphasis was placed on Church teachings, and this trend has intensified, no doubt at least in part because the Pope keeps making really weird statements that require some correction/explanation. If you want something less intense, Chesterton and Belloc are good choices. Waugh provides practical application in fictional form. Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H.

Posted by: neverenoughcaffeine at October 27, 2024 09:51 AM (2NHgQ) --- Heh, I remember that! "Always cut the apples so you can find the hidden razor blades." Halloween is the favorite holiday in our household in large part because it carries none of the emotional baggage that Christmas does. It's all about fun. I have noticed a much more strident call to observe All Saints Day, with much foot-stomping about it being a Holy Day of Obligation. As I get older, I'm leaning more into that aspect.

(continued commentary of the "Mystic Omnibus")
On the art side of things, "Mystic" was something of a cheesecake book. Not to a gratuitous or tasteless degree, but still, the heroine was a beautiful lady, and the artists liked emphasizing that. There were three main artists over the course of the 43 issues, and while all three were pretty good, my favorite was the final one (Aaron Lopresti) who was doing his best to ape the Frank Cho style. Overall, I give the book a mild recommendation. I'm not overly fond of the premise, but there is a decent story or two to be found, and the art (the best mix of full comic-book linework with hatches and shadows plus digital coloring that is realistic without overwhelming the linework) is always good enough to carry the book.

I have always loved Halloween. I was probably the last of my cohort to give up trickertreating. And let me note here that I am a parent. That being said, I do get a bit annoyed at the constant efforts to make Halloween safe and bland and toothless. Doing "Trunk or Treat" in a parking lot on a weekend in mid-October just isn't the same thing. I'd rather worry about where my kids have gotten to at 10pm on Halloween night than watch them trudge across the asphalt from car to car in broad daylight.

I made a delightful discovery: "God in the Garden" by Andrew Peterson. (He wrote the popular Wingfeather kids series.) It is part memoir, part observation on how nature, especially trees, appeal to the soul of man and why that is so important. It sort of rambles but is so well written Peterson ensnares the reader. It lures you in with subtle comparisons that invite, but don't demand, connections to your own life. It reminds me of Wendell Berry's novels in that way. There is a feel of listening to a story listening around a comfortable campfire.
It is another step, for me, on how imagination and appreciation of the world around us is what makes us human. It's one of those books that makes you wish it kept going when the last page is turned, partly for the insights and partly just for the lovely writing.

In honor of spooky season, I read a graphic novel called "Dracula; Book 1: The Impaler." It's an origin story, and this volume covers how Vlad goes from living to, well, not living. Alas, it's not my cup of tea. The story arc is that of a cruel man going on a quest for power and becoming pure evil to do so....that's not a story I want to spend time with. The artwork is also overly-moody, which again just isn't my style.
I was never fully sold on this book, but it's from a pretty well-regarded team of creators, and I let other people's enthusiasm for the project rub off on me. Alas, I don't think I can justify continuing to book 2. (Which I think has a kick-starter running now) Posted by: Castle Guy at October 27, 2024 10:06 AM (Lhaco) 86

Second, and more painfully for my wallet, I bought two comic book omnibuses: "Etreme X-Men volume 1" and "Wolverine volume 3" Neither were books I needed to have in my collection, but both were more than to 45% off, and, well, I was weak...

Supernatural horror really needs to be a tragedy if it's going to properly horrify. If your protagonists get into peril from demonic forces, God presumably can bail them out -- and I don't know about you, but I'd re-think my own religious skepticism pretty damned quick if I encountered actual demonic forces!
Which means for scary/bad stuff to happen, the protagonists (at least some of them) have to refuse to ask for divine aid, or are mad enough to believe they're on the "winning side" or something, so that you can have the proper dragged-to-damnation denoument.

Can't recall if I mentioned this in the last few weeks, but if you're a fan of horror fiction, Valancourt Books is reissuing some of Robert Bloch's work. Night of the Ripper (about guess who), and his short story collections The Opener of the Way (early stuff IIRC, much of it Lovecraftian) and Pleasant Dreams.
Bloch is most famous for Psycho and that one's usually available, but a lot of his work's been out of print for quite a while. When the Karloff-hosted series Thriller was running, several of Bloch's short stories were adapted for it and they were among the best of the series.

I have a dim childhood memory of riding with my parents in the car on All Saints' Day, driving past a cemetery, and remarking that "It must have been spooky in there last night." The thing is, it must have been on a Saturday or Sunday, not a weekday. We never had 11/1 off when I was in school. So that narrows the year to '64, when Halloween was a Saturday.

Apropos of the season, although it's a coincidence (I was loaned this book at the book club three or four months back) I'm reading Angel of the Overpass by Seanan McGuire.
It's about the "phantom prom date" ghost of urban legent. Through machinations outside of her control (detailed in other books by Ms McGuire) she has been given the task of killing the man who killed her originally. I don't know where Ms McGuire got the idea that rednecks were itching to blow up a truck stop to kill high schoolers that put on musicals, but whatever. After the first section ends, things move along much better as the Rose (the aforementioned ghost) gets down to the serious business of the quest. I'm not done with it quite yet, so we'll see.

Since somebody mentioned Dracula, let me put in a rec for the best adaptation of Dracula ever: the board game _Fury of Dracula_. Unlike all the film or stage versions, it's about the pursuit phase of the story, where the heroes are trying to find Dracula and figure out what he's doing, while Dracula's power continues to grow and spread.

I appreciate the sheer bloody-mindedness apparent in Biden's Dog completing the Fischer book on Lenin. It is a trait I greatly admire and a level of bloody-mindedness I aspire to.
Solzhenitsyn wrote multiple time, in different ways: Lenin and Stalin are heads and tails of the same coin. There is no atrocity, blood-lust, evil committed by Stalin that was not pioneered by Lenin. Lenin should be remembered by his most revealing quote: The purpose of terror is to terrorize. Posted by: Candidus at October 27, 2024 10:19 AM (eqAj8) 113

84 I made a delightful discovery: "God in the Garden" by Andrew Peterson. (He wrote the popular Wingfeather kids series.) It is part memoir, part observation on how nature, especially trees, appeal to the soul of man and why that is so important. It sort of rambles but is so well written Peterson ensnares the reader. It lures you in with subtle comparisons that invite, but don't demand, connections to your own life. It reminds me of Wendell Berry's novels in that way. There is a feel of listening to a story listening around a comfortable campfire.

Bloch is most famous for Psycho and that one's usually available, but a lot of his work's been out of print for quite a while. When the Karloff-hosted series Thriller was running, several of Bloch's short stories were adapted for it and they were among the best of the series.

There was a time when I could read anytime and anywhere without being distracted. Not anymore. Perhaps due to age or even having good hearing aids, background noise, visual and audible, is a problem and interrupts my concentration and enjoyment. This really came to light while reading Count of Monte Cristo recently. And it's a bigger annoyance when reading on matters of philosophy and imagination, like a George MacDonald fantasy.
Since my curmudgeon quotient is constantly growing, it's possible the annoyance of unimportant distractions (95% of news reports, ads for things that are stupidly ephemoral, or obnoxiously loud and flashy has become more irritating.

Molotov noted that Stalin was a pussycat compared to Lenin, though I'd maintain it's an academic difference at that level of evil.
Stalin just gets credit as history's most atrocious fuckface because he ruled for so much longer than Lenin, over the superstate Lenin had already consolidated. Stalin was able to hit the ground running and go on a thirty year killing spree. Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice at October 27, 2024 10:25 AM (7oYYI) 121
For those interested in non-fiction supernatural horror, let me offer Diary of an American Exorcist by Stephen Rossetti. It's a fascinating book that isn't really scary, but does highlight the reality of spiritual warfare.
A Family Guide to Spiritual Warfare by Kathleen Beckman also has some scary case studies, and while I enjoyed it, she does tend to repeat herself and I found myself skimming ahead a bit because yes, I get the value of prayer, etc. What's interesting about both books is how mundane evil is. No need for head-spinning and pea soup eruptions - a lot of oppression and possession is just terrible life choices or cruelty that we write off as a personality quirk. The books also highlight how people can be drawn into evil simply by assuming the spirit world doesn't exist, so cool goth tattoos or Santa Muerte decorations are just fashion statements. To put it another way, you may not be interested in the spirit world, but it's very interested in you! Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at October 27, 2024 10:25 AM (llXky) 122

A few years ago I wrote a vampire story set in 1938 Rumania. An American is visiting partly because he was born there and still speaks a few words of the language, and also because he is scouting out locations for a film crew from Hollywood. It becomes clear he's an actor. Not until the end, after the local vampire's threat has been neutralized in an unusual way, do we find out (though I hope I dropped the proper clues all along) that he is actually Edward G. Robinson, who was indeed born in Rumania and spoke a number of languages, including German.
If Raconteur Press ever does a vampire collection, or is willing to consider vampire stories, that might be a good market for this tale. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at October 27, 2024 10:30 AM (omVj0) 128

There was another Thriller Bloch adaptation with Shatner too; the episode was called "The Hungry Glass," from Bloch's story "The Hungry House." Saw that one when it was first run, I'd have been 11 or so, and it creeped me out immensely -- that episode still does it for me. "Yours Truly, Jack the Ripper" was in there too.
He also did two sequel novels to Psycho -- Psycho Two, and Psycho House. Nothing to do with the sequel movies, but a lot of fun. Posted by: Just Some Guy at October 27, 2024 10:32 AM (q3u5l) 133

For anyone who is looking for some good spooky Halloween reading I strongly recommend the ghost stories of Russell Kirk. His short stories have been collected in various volumes, most recently in "Ancestral Shadows". He also wrote three novels: "Old House of Fear" (a "gothic" style tale set on a remote Scottish island), "A Creature of the Twilight" (which is set in West Africa in the 1960s) and "Lord of the Hollow Dark" (a sequel to "A Creature of the Twilight" that takes place in an ancient haunted house in Scotland). Several of his characters appear in more than one story. Kirk was both an excellent story teller and a believer. A combination that gives his stories exceptional power (IMHO).

Another variation in horror is what I'm going to call "Cozy Horror".
Probably the best exemplar of this is John Wyndham's "Village of the Damned" and "The Day of the Triffids". While the actual circumstances, if you think about them are horrible: invasion and possible extinction through alien rape and induced blindness thus freeing one of mankind's freaky but controlled biological frankensteins freed to do as they "wish", the stories and protagonists handle them in a calm (as possible) and efficient manner. These are problems to to solved and solved they must be. I think this is a result of these authors being Brits after living through the bombings and V-2 attacks of London. Yes, circumstances were horrible but keep calm and carry on. It's an interesting mix instead of the modern tendency to go for a negative ending.

I enjoy spooky haunts, psychological horror and horror that isn't in your face. Josh Mallerman's "Incidents around the House" is spooky and psychological. It is the first book I've read ny him.

If you want creepy and psychological, there is Anne Rivers Siddons' The House Next Door.

Any thoughts on which Waugh novel to begin with?
Posted by: JTB at October 27, 2024 10:36 AM (yTvNw) --- Brideshead Revisited. On the surface it's a story of family breakdown, but if you read deeper, it is a conversion story. Fell free to watch the TV adaptation with Jeremy Irons because it is so well done that if you read the book, you'll be seeing the show and the actors. The Sword of Honour trilogy then goes even deeper, and is more overt in its discussion of Catholicism. What make both of these books so useful is that they are *applied Catholicism* not theoretical, and the characters are flawed, realistic and struggle to figure out what they should do. Nominally observant Catholics are shown to have missed the point entirely. And through it all you have the legendary wit of Waugh, creating laugh-out-loud scenes to lighten the mood.

Posted by: Miguel cervantes People pass over the history there but you had quite a few Romanians, Serbs, etc. convert to being Muslim or served as Turk's enforcers in the Balkans. So, Vlad ended up killing a lot of his own countrymen because they were collaborators in his mind (and quite a few in reality) with the Turks. You have those ancient century old grievances in the Balkans where memory of past misdeeds can only be exceeded by that of the Middle East. Posted by: whig at October 27, 2024 10:47 AM (ctrM5) 168

One of the creepiest horror novels that I've read "recently" was-
"Last Days" by Brian Evenson. This one really gets under your skin and does something I really like in horror novels, which is that it fully embraces its own mad logic by the end to drag us all the way down the rabbit hole. The form of the story is that of a detective novel. The story itself concerns a detective who has his hand chopped off during an encounter with a vicious criminal. That circumstance makes him perfect to infiltrate an "amputation cult" where a murder may have been committed. Highly recommended and thoroughly creepy. And BONUS! It shines an interesting light on our mutilating crazy times. Posted by: naturalfake at October 27, 2024 10:54 AM (eDfFs) 179

A strange path has led me to the book I am currently reading. It started with a recommendation, not sure from where, possibly Larry Correia, that I should read M.A. Rothman. So I read the Levi Yoder series (Amish guy in the Mafia, with some magic stuff. No, really.) I liked it. The guy can write, and the story grabbed my interest and moved briskly along.
So then I read the Alicia Yoder series, where the protagonist is his adopted daughter, rescued from street gangs. I liked that too. Wanting more M.A. Rothman, I picked up Plainswalker. When the protagonist "leveled up," I started to wonder what sort of world I was in, and noticed that it's called "An Epic Fantasy LitRPG Novel." So I'm apparently reading a novel patterned on Role-playing game structure. Huh. It's good, though. Posted by: Splunge at October 27, 2024 10:58 AM (hmKaK) 187
Re: Stephenson
I got my start in his books with Cryptonomicon and enjoyed the immersion in it. --- He definitely needs an editor to keep him on the story. I've mentioned his "Fall" a while back. You have to read it like it's 2, maybe 3 different books in one. But, they guy pulls some seriously deep insights as I think on his books. Like, in Fall, most people will choose to live in "social media" meaningless bubbles in a VR world instead of ever venturing out and exploring the possibilities. But, his discussion of "breaking" the internet is becoming reality with AI and deep fakes. And it's worrisome. We are in the last days of "free" internet.

Stalin just gets credit as history's most atrocious fuckface because he ruled for so much longer than Lenin, over the superstate Lenin had already consolidated.
--------- Imagine if Stalin's reign had extended only from the opening of Barbarossa in June 1941 to the German surrender in May 1945. I think he would be considered an unqualifiedly great leader of Russia. It was only the invasions, mass murders and purges that came before and after that make him the monster that history generally views him as.

I did two stupid things yesterday. One of them - I went to the library's book fair. All the books you could stuff in a paper sack for 5 dollars. So I spent a lot of time looking for favorite authors of mine. I managed to find 8 books. 8 for 5 - not bad.

My reading last week was Sir Edward Coke and the The Grievances of the Commonwealth.
This book considers Edward Coke's career in Parliament in a period of transition from his legal career personally (prior to this Coke was royal judge and attorney general for the Crown among other jobs), and from King James to his son Charles I politically. Coke died before he finished his Institutes which had a profound effect on the colonies and he died before the English Civil War began between Parliament and Charles. But, one can clearly see that what Parliament did, while Coke was still alive and serving, from 1621-1628 created a unified Parliamentary opposition in the House of Commons to the Crown that continued to harden until Civil War broke out. Charles I intransigence and favoritism of the Duke of Buckingham as his chief minister made the House of Commons use the power of the purse and parliamentary inquiries into the conduct of Charles' ministers to thwart Charles. So, useful pedantic book on the slow burning match to the English Civil War. My primary interest was in the Petition of Right of 1628 which is still considered part of Britain's unwritten Constitution. Posted by: whig at October 27, 2024 11:10 AM (ctrM5) 206

Posted by: Castle Guy at October 27, 2024 10:48 AM It's only been in the last few books that it's gotten ridiculous.

Hmmm.
JTB, Honestly, if I were starting to read Waugh I'd start with the three middle novels of his comic years. "Black Mischief" "A Handful of Dust" "Scoop" That gives you a pretty solid understanding of Waugh's worldview and strengths as a writer. Then I'd progress to "Brideshead Revisited" where he uses many of the same techniques to generate his most profound novel. Then "Sword of Honor" Trilogy, which has some of Waugh's best humor in "Men at Arms" with the Apthorpe sections. And finally, "The Loved One" where Waugh attempts to fuse the profundity of his later novels with the freewheeling satire of his comic novels. All good stuff.

Molotov said, "Compared to Lenin, Stalin was a mere lamb."
Think about that. Great description of Molotov by Sir Winston Churchill: Molotov was ‘a man of outstanding ability and cold-blooded ruthlessness…. His cannonball head, black moustache, and comprehending eyes, his slab face, his verbal adroitness, and imperturbable demeanor were appropriate manifestations of his qualities and skill. He was above all men fitted to be the agent and instrument of an incalculable machine.’ Posted by: Beverly at October 27, 2024 11:13 AM (Epeb0) 212
re #141 and #162, Russell Kirk
As to recurring characters in Kirk's stories: the hero of "Sorworth Place" appears in another short story ("Savior's Gate (IIRC)) and has a major role in the novel "Lord of the Hollow Dark". Another recurring character is that of Manfred Arcane a suave and sinister fellow who can with equal deftness and elegance kiss a lady's hand or cut a man's throat. He is the lead character in both "A Creature of the Twilight" and "Lord of the Hollow Dark" plus two of the short stories. Fortunately I bought both "A Princess of All Lands" and "The Watchers At the Straight Gate", Kirk's two story collections from Arkham House when they were originally published. They are long out of print and used copies are quite expensive. "Old House of Fear" is available for Kindle. Publishers are missing a trick by not offering his other short stories and novels in digital form. Posted by: John F. MacMichael at October 27, 2024 11:13 AM (aYnHS) 213

Had the knack of sparkling prose and the direct experience of what he was writing about which is a killer combination in a writer.

Is it just me, or have the Democrats forgotten how to do electoral politics? They shouldn't be playing to the trans/weird hair crowd at all, let alone a week before the election. Those people are going to vote for them, so can be safely ignored. Kamala should be out hitting VFW posts in Pennsylvania, visiting MLK historical sites in Georgia, and staging tractor-riding photo ops in downstate Illinois. Reminding swing voters of who you really are is the LAST thing a Democrat should be doing in late October. Hillary! had the same problem back in 2016, going to parties with rich people on Long Island where a witch served them cake made with blood and semen. James Carville probably wanted to slap her for that.

Calibre is a freakin' godsend for anyone who's heavily into ebooks, and its ability to convert from one format to another is a big part of that. Jailbreaking isn't part of its basic package, but there are add-ons that let you do that.
Pre-kindle, I bought most of my ebooks from Fictionwise. When Barnes & Noble bought Fictionwise, there was a last-minute opportunity to download all your books in mobi format as well as their original pdb formats. Kindle could read mobi, and it still can, but you can't use Send to Kindle to send mobi files to your device now; it's either load 'em by USB cable or convert 'em to epubs with Calibre to use StK. Annoying at times, but it works nicely. Posted by: Just Some Guy at October 27, 2024 11:35 AM (q3u5l) 238

Good morning from the Left Coast!
Finished listening to "Daughter of the Third Reich." IMHO the story needed a good editor (where have they gone?) and the author needed to decide who her audience was. The heroine and POV character starts as a young girl in 1930's Germany and follows her through 1939, just before the invasion of Poland, when she is 16. There is an Epilogue that briefly recaps her life from the end of WWII and life under Russian/East German control to the 1990's. But this really didn't seem to be a YA book written for girls, either. Most of the supporting characters, including the heroine's love interest (who is Jewish--what a novel idea!), lack depth and complexity. They are all stereotypes. There was some interesting background on Leipzig and what life was like in that period. Posted by: March Hare at October 27, 2024 11:48 AM (jfX+U) 250

I hadn't tried Better World Books; most of my book buying has been from eBay, AbeBooks, and ThriftBooks. Just recently I ordered paperback copies of Ken Cooper's Aerobics from one of those latter two, and The New Aerobics from the other.
True, Cooper's researches into the benefits of aerobic (= cardio) exercise have gone way beyond those two books from '68 and '70. (For one thing, age adjustments for aerobic goals stopped at 50+ back then; now we have goals for 60+ and 70+.) But they remain two of the great motivational books of all time.

I worked for that company when they sold us out to Martin Marietta. That must have been about 25 years ago. Later, we were gobbled up by Lockheed, which is how we got Lockheed Martin. I guess that's still what it is. An earlier place I worked was a huge aerospace company that eventually got gobbled up by Boeing, long after I no longer worked there.

The Douglas part of McDonnell Douglas was in Southern CA, and made commercial aircraft, IIRC. They also had a plant in KS that made military aircraft. But that was all merged into Boeing, if I heard correctly. I have to wonder if anybody else in the US makes commercial aircraft. I would think their only real competition, globally, is in Europe.

This is so true:
@KTmBoyle The most remarkable thing that Team Trump has done this election season is to find a new medium— not tv, not debate, not rallies. A medium with different and fractured audiences that isn’t captured. And then systematically put two candidates on every major podcast until they worked their way up to the Super Bowl of Podcasts. Here’s a candidate everyone knows, everyone has an opinion on, but they decided to reintroduce him in a totally different medium that allows him to talk and talk and talk, flood the zone of information, in a medium that’s more smiles and shooting the sh*t than hits. Love him or hate him, there’s a reason the phrase “media genius” was used when in 2016 when he won with rallies and television audiences. No one saw this strategy coming. This is truly the podcast election. Posted by: Lizzy at October 27, 2024 05:51 AM (scDBq) 54

The Amish are having parades for Trump. The Dearbornistan Muslims have endorsed Trump. The Hispanics are sick and tired of the Biden Harris junta. Harris has lost the black male vote. I can't imagine the Jewish vote isn't going to break hard for Trump based on what happened in Israel and his explicit support for Israel. The blue collar/union vote from what I can tell like Trump's proposal about bringing manufacturing jobs back to the United States. Toss in a couple major left wing newspapers refused to endorse Harris and the usual collection of conservative voters... That is a broad and deep coalition of voters we've never seen before.
I have to say I'm not buying any of the polls and the Democrat bullshit. The mainstream media keeps pushing. The Harris campaign stalled out a couple weeks ago and since then it's been imploding. Trump is his golden as his shoes he's selling. He could easily go 300 electoral votes or more. With a couple weeks to go it seems pretty clear this election is over except for the post election lawfare out of the Democrats, some obligatory Democrat sponsored antifa street riots and a couple constitutional crisis when it comes time to the certification.

College football has been primarily about money since at least 2010, with ESPN controlling the till, relishing in their role as kingmaker. Now that deal making happens more in the open, with more groups in the mix, and you can see how ugly it is.

Boeing’s problems are not beyond fixable, but they need to immediately clear upper management and give harsh interviews to middle management. Clear accountants and non aerospace engineers from management ranks. Accounting acts in an advisory role, not a decision making role.
Return the company to its technical roots, making decisions on sound engineering and not on incremental cost decisions. People flying on your products rely on your design, construction, and maintenance not cutting safety corners to save a dollar on each of every 100,000 units.

Where do you find all these White Knights that will right the ship? Almost all these folks are retired and enjoying their freedom.

Posted by: Angzarr the Cromulent at October 27, 2024 12:01 PM (XMwZJ) The Saturday Overnight Open Thread (10/26/24)It has been a while since Bill Burr was featured here. Let's remedy that. Hairy palms, blindness and now squeezing injuries. Masturbation isn't something any of us should be shy about, but when the mood strikes, some of us seize it a little too tightly. To put it plainly, if you've got a penis, grabbing it too hard while pleasuring yourself could leave orgasms further out of reach. It's what is known in slang terms as Death Grip Syndrome (DGS), though there's actually no official medical name for the condition. My part of the Frozen Tundra is sunny South Beach compared to Norilsk, Siberia. You may think living in the UK is grim, but one look at the Russian city dubbed the ‘world’s most depressing’ will leave you thanking your lucky stars. Norilsk – an ex-USSR town deep in north Siberia – has been given this unenviable title by multiple sources over the years. And it’s not hard to see why. The city sits within the Arctic Circle, with year-round snow and temperatures that peak at 9°C in summer yet drop to an excruciating -50°C in January. The Fahrenheit temps are high of 48.2 and low of -58Formula (°C × 9/5) + 32 = °F So this is the modern day Max Klinger? A gay man who fled Bangladesh to escape persecution had his asylum application refused after a judge told him he was ‘trying to pass’ himself off as gay. Monsur Ahmed Chowdhury, 38, came to Britain as a student in 2009 from Sylhet, a city in northeastern Bangladesh, on a student visa after never feeling safe enough to be his authentic self in his native country. Following years of applications, submitted evidence and rejections, Monsur had his application rejected by a judge following a First-Tier Tribunal, a court that handles immigration disputes, in March 2018 – because the judge didn’t believe he was gay. WTF??? Genius Award Winner. JESSUP, Md. (Gray News) - Dozens of people were hospitalized with food poisoning after eating a dish that one of their co-workers brought to work in Maryland. According to the Howard County Health Department, paramedics were called to NAFCO Wholesale Seafood Distributors in response to a report of “multiple patients with food poisoning after allegedly eating the same food.” Tonight's ONT has been brought to you by Experimentation. (H/T Iris) Notice: Posted.......No one is here tonight. Sunk New Dawn Galveston, TX. Outgoing Tide: As most anyone present at the TxMoMe might've noticed, I arrived with a zero load out of gear, and spent my time there with my ass pretty much firmly planted in my folding, pneumatic rocking chair. (six years until last year, MINE was the only such chair to be seen, there. This year? SEVEN of them! lol) Reason for my inactivity? Feelin' poorly. A +40lb. weight loss in the previous 5 months. Muscle mass. Weak and no endurance. Moron "Aviator" (a neurosurgeon),and Nurse Ratchet visited with a while, there, and the Good Doctor gave me a field-expedient "look over". Whereupon he insisted that I find the inside of my local E.R., first thing Monday morning. Which, I did. Just got released Thursday afternoon. With a nice, fresh,formal diagnosis of Lou Gehrig's Disease (ALS) So, gimme that 3 to 5 year life expectancy, and I'll be floating along with the Outgoing Tide.

All four she visited got 10 out of 10. They did look good. My first taste of Guinness was in a bar in Chicago where Milady's oldest brother (RIP) tended, last century. On tap, perfect temperature.

In the first segment a news bimbo says something like, "Some people say you went too far..." and Burr correctly responds with...who? Who says that? I hate it when news bimbos take on the passive voice when they are throwing their opinion out there. Be an adult - if you think it say "I think that..." or if you want to get your guest's response to some specific other person's point come prepared and read them the full quote with the person that said it.

Werner suspects that research into the Death Grip Syndrome was either inspired by, supported by, funded by, or even participated in by Louis CK. Which, Werner guesses, is a legacy of a sort. Is it the legacy that one should wish? No, but is it truly worse than the Big Bang Theory? Because Chuck Lorre is going to have to come up with some answers for that at the Pearly Gates, and St. Peter may have heard enough already from Tommy Wiseau Steven Seagal. Werner has to worry enough about having worked with Nick Cage, but these people, mein Gott.

Thug life.
Rapper Lil Durk received the key to the city from two Chicago suburbs DAYS before being arrested in connection to an alleged murder-for-hire . . . . As ('Lil Durk' Devontay) Banks was taken into custody Thursday, federal prosecutors in California announced the arrest of five others: Kavon London Grant, Deandre Dontrell Wilson, Keith Jones, David Brian Lindsey and Asa Houston — whose charges include murder-for-hire, murder-for-hire conspiracy and use of a machine gun in a violent crime resulting in death. The charges stem from the 2022 slaying of Georgia rapper Quando Rondo's cousin, Lul Pab, born Saviay'a Robinson, in Los Angeles. . . . . The defendants were offered money and "lucrative music opportunities with OTF [Only The Family record label]", for the murder of Bowman, according to the indictment. A credit card associated with OTF was used to purchase airplane tickets to fly to California and murder Bowman, the indictment detailed.

Jim: I don't pray because I don't believe, but I will be rooting for you the whole way. In spite of the Covid disaster, I still have faith in the medical field. Some researcher hunkered down in his lab might be getting closer to solving the ALS problem. Ever since the scientists completed the Human Genome project, incredible strides have been made as they have been able to work on pinning down genes tied to specific diseases.
Several years back, I had a long chat with a very experienced pathologist. (I was at a mystery convention and he wrote mysteries as a hobby.) He was very happy to share with me several medical studies he knew about. Yeah, many of those studies were just getting going and wouldn't see the light of day for years down the road. And many others would fizzle out. But the researchers (the good ones, not the ones simply looking for a payout) keep on keeping on. Posted by: Livia Drusilla at October 26, 2024 10:45 PM (lAAta) 160

This was a chance for non-political people to see Trump in a normal conversation.

The message for the B-52 crew was, "Anything you can do, I can do better." Not to be outdone, the bomber pilot announced that he would rise to the challenge. The B-52, however, continued its flight, straight and level. Perplexed, the fighter pilot asked, "I'm waiting, what are you going to do?" "We just shut down two engines."

There is so much polling news like this these last few weeks. But I never get tired of it!
NY Post published their poll today of NYC voters. Trump is +14 points better than he was on this date in 2020. Campaign events in NY help GOP House candidates in close races, presumably. There are at least 4 of these close races in NY state this year. Posted by: mnw at October 26, 2024 11:35 PM (NLIak) 258

Speaking of explosions - wasn't somebody? - appears the Zionist Entity rearranged a few key buildings at Iran's solid rocket motor production site (Parchin). Still no public imagery or commentary on another key site (Sharhoud), though there were reports of air defense activity there.

I've seen NOTHING on it from the left which I assume means they know it is insane and in and of itself disqualifying for the presidency. Posted by: 18-1 ==== S/He/It bragging on about how awsome it is having the power to press charges and arrest for petty charges causing the 'perp' to miss work, lose their job, get into financial distress, and resulting stress and family/maritl problems.

Iran thrives by our whimsy.
If we withdraw our consent, support, and aid in their aggression, there's little they can do. If we start applying pressure on their friends and colleagues for supporting it, there's nothing they can do. They're a destitute pariah state as it is. Without the sustenance of the West's faggot classes, they'll be finished quickly, without a single American man having to die for it.

I’m driving down to see the Sabres play today, and my host asked me the question of the day:
“So who’s gonna win?” I replied that I thought The Donald was outside the margin of cheating, and would win. He shook his head and said he preferred his president to be of a more moral character. I retorted that at least The Golden Scalpweasel didn’t get to where he was by being able to suck the chrome off a bumper hitch. He was genuinely shocked to learn that Comeoniwanalaya was Willie Brown’s side piece, and had sucked her way to the top of California politics. How on God’s green earth can a person not know this ? And this guy isn’t dumb. He just lives in the mainstream media cocoon I guess 🤷♂️ After dropping that gem, there were no more questions about politics or the election.

Forgot that there apparently is also imagery of damage to a nuclear weapons research site, Taleghan 2. The nuclear archive purloined by Mossad out of Tehran a few years ago described the work done there - study of explosion mechanics, flash x-ray equipment, other things you'd use to understand how to design a system to create super-critical conditions. Place was tagged for IAEA inspections, Persians did a rush remodel (cover-up) job, inspection never happened, blah blah blah.
Given what I've seen for a decade, I assume Mossad knew the brand of tea used in the lunch room there, and the director's favorite color, so if they hit it that means they knew it was still part of the nuke program. Posted by: rhomboid at October 27, 2024 12:30 AM (GcNJ2) 352

Senior Israeli official told some local media type today that there are more strategic targets "in the basket" if Iran wants to continue this.
It's really kind of beautiful, in a technical sense. Tehran isn't seen to respond = further, serious decline in their street cred (it's greatly diminished already). Tehran responds - more ass-kicking coming their way. It's clear Israel appreciates and understands this dynamic, and is surely content to operate within it. Israel dominates every rung on the escalation ladder (understatement). Higher Iran wants to climb, worse it will be for them. But not responding to Israeli attacks, worse it is for them geopolitically. Posted by: rhomboid at October 27, 2024 12:36 AM (GcNJ2) 360

Iran acknowledging more (10?) KIA, primarily at air defense sites. Israel reportedly damaged entire strategic air defense network, including S-300s (they took out an S-300 at Isfahan in their very limited strike a few months back). SOP. If Iran still wants to play, not only is it confirmed that they can't stop Israeli attacks, they now have even less of their (ineffective) systems to do it.
First military attack on Iranian soil since Iran-Iraq festivities*. First large military attack by Israel against Iran. First time (reportedly) Israeli tactical aircraft operating in Iranian airspace (F-35s) - not just stand-off launches.

By my best guess I would say the fix has been in at least since BO’s “re-election” (I also don’t think Romney got the nomination on the up and up). The cheat machine is offered to both sides, but only if TPTB get their way. The cheat isn’t foolproof: JDT got in because they were careless and believed their own press clippings. And he might get in again since the cheat can be overwhelmed - at least for now.

273 What happened last night?
Posted by: Yudhishthira's Dice at October 26, 2024 11:44 PM (7oYYI) ---- Well I was posting happily away and had just composed something 'important' about refilling salt and pepper shakers being so difficult through those tiny holes, and as I hit Post the blog just vanished. Here I sat brokenhearted, spent a penny and only .... wait, that's a Scot's lament. Anyway I really thought I had broken it. Checked my LAN, did an ipconfig /flushdns, all to no avail. It wasn't until Pixy came on that I realized others had had a similar experience. But nothing was forwarded as an explanation.

Posted by: ... at October 27, 2024 12:56 AM (lX8VI) Thank you so much ❤ Hopefully it has been caught early enough that treatment is possible - I don't feel sick at all. As I mentioned earlier, this wasn't on anyone's radar - certainly none of my doctors suspected anything! One "God" thing did happen. Yesterday when we pulled into the driveway after getting the results of the MRI, I looked over and noticed a fat fence lizard sitting on one of the stones in the yard, just sunning himself. I pointed it out to Paul, and the lizard stayed long enough for both of us to get a good look before he jumped off and disappeared. Our late daughter, Michelle, was a huge lizard enthusiast and always loved those fence lizards. We both took it as a sign that she is watching over me and that everything is going to be okay.

In 1948, there were fewer polls, and some of them only contacted voters with PHONES (Reader's Digest), i.e., the more affluent voters.
Plus, the final poll was conducted 2 weeks before the election. Nothing after that. Different world. If you think we're in Dewey/Truman territory, you can make a lot of money-- if you can work around the prohibition on U.S. residents placing bets. Do you have a friend in The Great White North who can help, perhaps? Posted by: mnw at October 27, 2024 01:21 AM (NLIak) 419

Posted by: Skip at October 27, 2024 04:04 AM (fwDg9) Music Thread: A Real Classic!Commenter and Classical Music fan Hadrian the Seventh has taste that diverges somewhat from mine. His tends to the schmaltzy romantics, but he redeems himself with a lovely selection of the real heavyweights. Not enough, so he will be on probation until he puts Mozart's 15th and 16th Piano Concertos on the short list. Really...there's no accounting for taste. Anyway, he has lists of his favorites, and has graciously made them available to The Horde. The 200 The 1200 All reflect my appalling taste, prejudice for orchestral music and preference of the Romantic and Classical periods. Most are reasonably short, but if the inspiration supports it they may be longer. I'd be happy to send anyone who asks a thumb drive with .mp3's of all the pieces from either list. That's a generous offer, and one that will make you very happy if you take him up on it. It is amazing how much classical music has crept into popular culture, and you will discover that you know a fair number of pieces on his lists! I don't know much of their music, but they are one of those bands that is instantly recognizable. And what I have heard...I like! Strange? Sure. But also musical. I have linked this song...I think...but I really like it, and so you should too! The Waterboys Fisherman's Blues Enough of their music is irritating that I stopped listening, but this is a pretty good one. You should listen to more Southside Johhny And The Asbury Jukes. Love On the Wrong Side of Town is just...fun! Somebody mentioned "Korn" in the comments, and I thought, "Gee...I haven't heard them in years! I barely remember what kind of music they make. Well, there's a reason I don't remember. My brain blocked it all out because they are terrible. The Dixie Dregs? Refried Funky Chicken Not a bad song! And remember...this is a lighthearted thread.

I saw Thorogood on Staten Island where the venue was open floor, no seats. About four songs in George said something about people not dancing enough.

I typically have nothing to contribute to the music thread, but a few days ago a friend sent me a YouTube video of a guy named Kent Nishimura playing "Deacon Blues" on an acoustic guitar. It's worth your 7-8 minutes. Go look it up yourself - I'm not about to break the blog by copying and pasting.

A week or so back I fell down the rabbit hole of Polandball's YouTube channel. It's mostly crudely-animated cartoons of geo-political jokes or commentary. But also a few parody music videos.
One such video was "Two Days into Belgum," a parody of that "Two Days into College" song that swept the internet earlier this year. It's a light-hearted take on Germany's apprehension during WWI. It's pretty good, and pretty funny. The second video was "Red Commie Club," a somewhat farcical take on Poland's attitude to being in the eastern block after WWII. (Spoiler, animated Poland was feeling much better about it than any actual Poles of the day.) Because the song was pretty catchy, I tried to track down the original song that the video was parodying....And that was a mistake. I had to purge my YouTube preferences (lots of clicking 'I'm not interested' and 'Don't recommend this channel') so that my feed could go back to being clean and un-disturbing...

One of the coolest things about a Southside show was when he often closed with The Fever. Invariably, the crowd knew every word and would often drown him out on the chorus. He'd leave the stage and then come back out for a half hour or more of encore calls. Great stuff.

========= That is a great album, through and through. Ol' Boz is a real bluesman, never got the success he deserved. I got to hear him live with The New York Rock and Soul Revue when they hit Cinci in '92, I think. The tour was so popular Donald Fagen (MC & performer) and Walter Becker (also performer) decided to get the band back together and take Steely Dan on the road live in 1995, their first concert tour since 1973! Donald said "Let's bring on Boz Scaggs", and Boz walked on as the band slid seamlessly into "Dirty Low Down". It was magical.

The first single from Silk Degrees was Lowdown, which actually charted first on Black R&B radio. It owes a lot to drummer Jeff Porcaro who turned a Purdie shuffle into a disco groove.
I was at a Boz show on July 13, 1977. About seven songs in some guy yells "Loan me a dime!" Boz yelled back, "the price went up to a quarter." Then something happened. When we all regrouped two nights later to finish the show, same bat time, same bat channel, the same guy yells "loan me a quarter!" Posted by: Ignoramus at October 26, 2024 08:06 PM (Gqoy+) 97

59 It's Over is my favorite Boz Skaggs song.
Posted by: Sebastian Melmoth at October 26, 2024 07:55 PM For me, it's "Georgia" but It's Over was a close second. I grew up in the south, so those were both great shagging (the dance) songs. "We're All Alone" is simply wonderful. Posted by: Moonbeam at October 26, 2024 08:00 PM (rbKZ6) I loved all of Box Skaggs -Silk Degrees Lido Shuffle, Georgia, Lowdown, We're All alone....

Fun story about Dickie Betts (Allman Brothers) and Boz Skaggs, from an interview with Betts. In an interview, someone asked him about the source of the title, "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed". Dickie said, well it was like this - Boz Skaggs had a good looking girlfriend, and he was out of town touring a lot, so Dickie and her hooked up when Boz was out of town. They used to go to a quiet spot in the local cemetery to do their thing, since they had found a secluded spot that no one was in. The girl asked Dickie to write a song for her, and he agreed, but he couldn't use her name since Boz would find out what was going on. So the closest grave marker to their hook up spot in the cemetery said "Elizabeth Reed" on it, and that was the source of the title, "In Memory of Elizabeth Reed."

One-man-band with a hurdy-gurdy and an all-pedals drum kit. Odd, but interesting. No idea why Youtube suggested it. https://youtu.be/mUgXSgYZ9TE Devin Townsend - Knuckledragger. I like his older stuff (Ocean Machine, Terria) more than his more recent stuff, but this is getting back to that older sound, so I'm digging it. https://youtu.be/K6s8JzbKsw0 Empress - Departure.

Speaking of Creedence Clearwater Revival, in my working days, my employer had a summer promotion of "Cruisin' Classic" cassettes (that's how old I am), and the first tape included CCR's "Proud Mary." As soon as the cassette was released, we received a letter from John Fogerty's attorney that we were in violation of his copyright. It was fun and gratifying as a rookie copyright attorney to inform him that, oops, John had sold his rights to the music and that my employer had paid for the rights to include the song on the cassette. Fogerty was pissed that an oil company was distributing his music!!

I remember The Dixie Dregs, we used to go see them every time they were near. They were a great band in my humble opinion, very tight and very good rock fusion.
A story, just amoungst us... One time we went to Birmingham to see them play at Baby Does in 5 Points. We had a table right by the stage and had a 6 shooter (IYKYK) set in the middle of the table. we got baked with the purple sensamilla one of us had grown that year. What was fun was all the chicks that came up to share, it was a parade and fun was had by all. I still have B&W pics of them laying it down.

Werner feels obliged to make mention of Kraftwerk. Ja, I know, I am a Kraut, but they were and are revolutionary. Take a glance across the entirety of present-day genres of music and it will be rare that you do not see their influence, even if the performing artists are not aware of it. The wizardry they used in "Autobahn" where one actually has the auditory (illusionary, but still) sensation of a vehicle passing through one's head from one ear to the other still impresses today. It is amusing that their lyrics "Fahren, fahren farhen," which mean "Drive, drive, drive" are still misinterpreted as an allusion to The Beach Boys' "Fun, fun, fun."
Equally, Werner feels obliged to slam Rammstein - their song "Deutschland" and its accompanying video are perhaps the best depiction of their lack of creativity and cartoonish view of the world and global politics. "99 Red Balloons" brings more to the table musically than all their work, and that is saying something.

I recorded a Great Performance of a new "semi staged" oratorio Emigre and I am about half way through it. So it's not an opera but does have staging so it's not a true oratorio thus neither fish nor fowl. It is not atonal or otherwise excessively modern and verges on impressionism. The plot concerns two Jewish brothers who flee Berlin for Shanghai in 1938,

Well, at least Werner feels a sense of obligation.
Posted by: Notorious BFD Ach, of course Werner feels obligations. Remember, I kept Kinski employed for a sizable part of his career, and saw to it that he saw the Vet four times a year. On that last, just consider the size of the cat carrier that I had to heft each time. It was from a sense of obligation to all humanity that I did my best to prevent the musical career of Björk, back when she known merely as Björk Guðmundsdóttir. I failed, as is apparent to all, but I tried. Icelanders are notoriously quick-minded and nimble, and were it not for the volcanoes, the entirety of the world might be underneath their control. Yet one cannot weep over past failures - otherwise Werner should still despair over the fact that Gary Busey continues to get acting roles. I tried, I truly did. Alas.

Glen Campbell, Jerry Reed, and Roy Clark once ran into each other at a recording studio and started jamming together.

It set a new standard for awfulness - we tried to give it to the dog, a half husky who would eat anything, and he took a sniff and looked up at us with a look that said "are you fukkin kiddin me?"
Posted by: Tom Servo That reminded me of the first time my future husband took me to a bowling alley/pizza parlor in his little hometown. The pizza was basically tomato sauce on a pizza crust with cut up bologna instead of pepperoni. Yum. Posted by: Tuna at October 26, 2024 09:36 PM (oaGWv) 270

241 Early 80's music - Bananarama was kind of a spin off of Talking Heads, out of the Rhode Island scene, and I always had a thing for their music.
======== Bananarama was a good girl group, not just saying that because they had some nice videos on MTV back in the day. (Although it helped!) They started out in the UK with message minded New Wave band The Fun Boy Three, and the two trios together made a decent band. See their version of "Our Lips Are Sealed". Then the girls got "discovered after a couple fo good hits & got brought to the USA to go mainstream. I like listening to their songs, which usually put me ina good mood.

REOJOURNEYSPEEDWAGON
KANSASHATCHETTYX Nazareth was pretty good on tour. And they toured a lot, constantly. Tickets were $4.50 and $5.50 or whatever. "An Evening With" ... Styx, was an example of a band that was pretty hard rock. Really. I saw it live, but I think bands were required to record sappy ballads as part of their contract. Nothing else makes sense and also neatly explains Phil Collins. Has a demonstrably female person ever expressed an indication that Rush is a good band, however? Or "Yes", those guys. The dichotomy or quadrotomy or whatever, there were the stoners and rock and rollers, Disco in there somewhere for people who wanted to dance (and actually score chicks). The cerebral stuff didn't get any airplay or radio time except for college radio FM. Punk came along because everybody was sick of the "Arena Rock" era, and big hair and derivatives.

Posted by: BrianinTn at October 27, 2024 09:00 AM (GD75n) Hobby Thread - October 26, 2024 [TRex]Welcome hobbyists! Pull up a chair and sit a spell with the Horde in this little corner of the interweb. This is the mighty, mighty officially sanctioned Ace of Spades Hobby Thread. We gave the Ace of Spades Wheel of Hobbies(TM) a spin and it landed on a theme of Halloween traditions for this week. Imagine that? What a coincidence with Halloween coming up soon! Let us talk Halloween traditions. Costumes, decorations for the home, pumpkin carving, trick or treating, candy, haunted houses, pumpkin chunkin,and such. Do you embrace the holiday? Are you a jack o lantern artist? Do you have favorite pumpkin designs or costumes from your past? Have you over engineered decorations, costumes or pumkin carving? Are you planning a great costume this year? Do you remember traditions from your childhood? Have you shared traditions with your kids? How did your manage the candy haul of your kids? Did you impose a parent tax that confiscated some of their candy? Do you go overboard with decorating your house for the little ghosts and goblins? Is your house haunted? I know the Horde is crafty. What have you made, built or bodged for Halloween? Content below to get the conversation started, but looking for participation from our gray box friends. If meaningful to you, it will be meaningful to the Horde. Time to get spooky!As per usual Hobby Thread etiquette, keep this thread limited to Halloween traditions. Politics and current events can be scary but can reside in threads elsewhere. Play nice. Do not be a troll and do not feed the trolls. As usual, wearing pants is optional for thread participation. Top photo with Ghostbusters trivia: Did you know that the ghost in the Ghostbusters logo has a name? Apparently they named him Mooglie during the filming. Looking for a Halloween costume with an AoS theme? I will let the Horde decide whether either of these models is a hordeling. The tradition of carving Jack o Lanterns originated in Ireland using turnips instead of pumpkins. It is allegedly based on a legend about a man named Stingy Jack who repeatedly trapped the Devil and only let him go on the condition that Jack would never go to Hell. But when Jack died, he learned that Heaven did not want his soul either, so he was forced to wander the Earth as a ghost for eternity. The Devil gave Jack a burning lump of coal in a carved-out turnip to light his way. Locals eventually began carving scary faces into their own turnips to frighten away evil spirits. Comic relief: Where does a mummy go for vacation? The Dead Sea. What do vegetarian zombies eat? Graaaains! What kind of horse does a ghost ride? A night mare. Why did the skeleton not go to the party? Because he had no body to go with. Why did the skeleton not cross the road? He did not have the guts. Why did the ghost need a band aid? He had a boo boo. What kind of ship does Dracula have? A blood vessel. What do ghosts eat for breakfast? Scream of Wheat What do you call a chicken that haunts your house? A poultrygeist. Why don't witches ever have babies? Because Warlocks have hollow weenies.(Spoken) When the crypt doors creak, and the tombstones quake Spooks come out for a swinging wake Happy haunts materialize And begin to vocalize Grim Grinning Ghosts come out to socialize Now don't close your eyes and don't try to hide Or a silly spook may sit by your side Shrouded in a daft disguise They pretend to terrorize Grim Grinning Ghosts come out to socialize As the moon climbs high o'er the dead oak tree Spooks arrive for the midnight spree Creepy creeps with eerie eyes Start to shriek and harmonize Grim Grinning Ghosts come out to socialize When you hear the knell of a requiem bell Weird glows gleam where spirits dwell Restless bones etherialize Rise as spooks of every size Grim Grinning Ghosts come out to socialize Mwahahahahahahahaha! (repeat three times) If you would like to join our jamboree There's a simple rule that's compulsory Mortals pay a token fee Rest in peace, the haunting's free So hurry back, we would like your company Hurry back...hurry back...

Favorite Halloween memory is when my dad and my brother and I rigged up a puppet with a stuffed sweater of Dad's for the torso, in a big cardboard box, and a lifesized plastic skull, and we put a stocking over its face to make it look scarier.
We had sewing threads to make it sit up and raise its hands and I worked it from inside the bay window on one side of the front stoop and my dad and brother were on the microphone whose little speaker planted in Wilbur's chest. So was born Wilbur the Funny Phantom -- and watching the kids interact with this thing was a hoot. We had it behind the boxwood next to the stoop, and I controlled the light in a shoe box and would plug that in to highlight Wilbur and make him sit up as my brother or father would voice the critter. "This is Wilbur the funny Phantom, deep in the heart of the Jungle you hear the doo doo birds cry! Hockey hockey hockey!" And the kids would talk to this thing like it was a real spook. We never had so much fun. Posted by: Beverly at October 26, 2024 05:39 PM (Epeb0) 8

Sadly, we get no little trick or treaters anymore. The neighborhood has changed/aged and most kids' Halloweens involve school or church groups instead of going door to door. Bummer. I liked greeting the kids when they came to the door, especially the tiny ones. The look on their faces when a bulky 6' 5" guy answers is adorable.

Our second best Halloween display got us in trouble. We were then living in an upper middle class neighborhood and Dad decided that he would play The Devil's chords on the piano and put one of my mother's pantyhose over his head. I wore my full length black cloak with a big hood and played the Specter of Death. We also rigged up a life-sized dummy on the stairs with a kitchen butcher knife in it as if it had been stabbed to death.
There was a single candle in the foyer on the entryway table next to the candy. Little kids would come up to the door and I would open it silently with the hood pulled down to my nose and would silently put candy in their bags as Daddy played the devil's chords on the piano and then start to come out of the den into the foyer... and the kids would run away screaming. This was great fun until one daddy's ire put an end to it. Apparently it was a bit too much for his 3-year-old daughter and he came up to the door and started ranting to Dad that he was a terrible father for scaring this little kid and Dad was so embarrassed that he pulled the stocking off his head and covered it himself with guilt and dirt and apologies. After The Irate dad left, we quit. Posted by: Beverly at October 26, 2024 05:44 PM (Epeb0) 14
Do you embrace the holiday?
------- Not so much. I buy a costume for my little daughter, and take her trick or treating. I buy candy and leave the light on so the wife or older kids can poison the other little munchkins with sugar. But aside from that? Nah, and I don't think I ever will. I mow my lawn and power wash my siding regularly, and that's about the most I'm willing to do for the visual enjoyment of people who would eat me if they got too hungry.

Best Halloween that I remember was during a blizzard in the late '50's in Edmonton's river valley. Most parents kept their kids home ... so I got to collect 3 pillowcases full as folks were dumping their candy bowls in my bag. Think my sugar high last several months.

Do you remember traditions from your childhood?
************ Absolutely. preschool/kindergarten, 1st thru 3d grades went thru the neighborhoods after school and before dinner. Moms/older kids would walk them and wait at the end of the driveway. 4th grade and above graduated to going in the dark after dinner, sans parents. Great fun, and a rite of passage. Also, in NY, aduts dressed up to hand out the candy. My father, dressed up, also ventured out into the night to the closest neighbbors - not confirmed, but I believe he was rewarded with an adult beverage or two.

Words of wisdom above, about hobbies, are so true. If I can get myself into the quilting room and even do a few "baby steps," I feel happier and stronger.
I've designed and made a couple of Halloween quilts. One was a small wall hanging of a haunted house, for a cousin, with different scary prints "fussy-cut" to be looking out all the windows. The other was lap quilt sized, log cabin blocks with a border, in black and orange prints. That one went to a silent auction for my high school reunion. I love buying and playing with Halloween fabrics! Posted by: skywch at October 26, 2024 05:56 PM (uqhmb) 34
Thanks for this years. It was a minor issue keeping it connected to the magnet but soon figured out a thin t-shirt would work best.
The only real issue I had was worrying that trying to read some of the badges would make the ettes think I was staring at their boobs. LOL Posted by: Wingnutt at October 26, 2024 05:48 PM The attachment was a definite fail. For next year, I'm probably going to just give up and by adhesive attachment thingies. For those of you who were not at the MoMe, I had the first badge printed and was the first one to lose his badge. Fortunately, my Lady was much better and finding the lost badge than I was. I haven't started on a design yet. As of now I'm just kicking around ideas. Posted by: Cybersmythe at October 26, 2024 05:57 PM (iZEhM) 35
I don't believe in ghosts. I would like to see one though. It's rumored there was a prison camp a little up the creek that runs along our yard and it's supposedly haunted, but I've never seen anything up there any more spooky than a giant owl.

We were in a couple of great neighborhoods when the kids were smalls. When I was brewing beer I pulled a wagon with 5 gal kegs of homebrew and supplied the walking parents with sustenance, by all reports it was appreciated.
We would buy a bale of hay and put one of the bigger kids in it with oversize clothes, cheese cloth over their head and straw sticking out of the sleeves over gloves. Then drape the scarecrow over the bale. As the older kids walked up the 'scarecrow' would move and talk. Invariably there would be screams and running involved. One memorable night a mother walked in front of our home while her children were at the last house. She was 'dancing in the moonlight'. Scarecrow said something like "you're a good dancer" followed by creaming and running. Good fun. Now the homes are far enough apart we get no tricksters.

Best Halloween as far as candy haul was when bro and I went to my cousin's house and we three went all over her neighborhood for hours. Ended up with a big sackful apiece. Of course, back then it was mostly hard candy, Tootsie pops, etc., but we were glad to get that. Those little suckers with a loop of cotton string instead of a stick...cherry...mmm...

As I recall (it's been a long time), The tiniest trick or treaters, too little to understand, would get taken around by a parent shortly before sundown. You could tell what was happening because of so many "Awww, how adorable" comments. The parent did not wear a costume. Halloween was for kids. The first grade and older kids went after dark, unaccompanied, partly for the ambience and partly for tradition.

Hobby Folken! Hard to believe, but Ghostbusters is forty frickin' years old! When the film was new I bought one of the ghost logos, a sticker, and put it on my red metal tool chest. Which I've had since 1976 or so, and the sticker has been on there for forty years.
Oh, I did costumes and so forth as a kid, and my mother brought home a pumpkin and we carved it out and decorated it. What I really miss is the Eighties, when Bennigans and other bars/grills would have a costume night the Saturday before 10/31. You could come out to eat in costume. (I suppose nobody tried to dress as a giant bear or as the Alien from the '79 film.) Mrs. Wolfus No. 2 had her little suede bikini, handmade, after the style Raquel Welch made famous in the dinosaur movie. Funny how every single male waiter made a point of coming over to see if we needed anything. . . . Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at October 26, 2024 06:09 PM (omVj0) 49

The only trick-or-treating I ever did as a kid was when I was ten. My brother and I, me dressed as Batman (my mother had made the costume, believe it or not, and nobody knew who I was because the TV series was two years in the future). My brother did The Invisible Man, with all the bandages. We went around, after dark yet, to houses in the French Quarter, where we lived, and bravely knocked on doors and got our treats. It was fun as I recall. Couldn't do any of that today.

Ok, here's my Halloween story. Me and Joe Mannix' mom was one of those ladies who'd seize our haul like a DEA agent, and dole it out one piece at a time, less the best ones, which went into our parents' unprincipled maws.
Eventually, once, we found the stash, and took it back one day. The day we were supposed to be cleaning the turtle and fish tanks on the upper floor of the house. We transferred the animals to temporary housing, and began to drain the tanks into buckets, and went to gorge ourselves on contraband, and promptly forgot about those tanks. So when we got busted, it wasn't only for stealing candy, but also for flooding our living room downstairs with truly foul effluent. Good times.

There are at least two houses in the Quarter that are supposed to be haunted. One is infamous, the LaLaurie Mansion where the crazy woman was supposed to have kept slaves to torture in the attic, and on certain nights you're supposed to be able to hear screams and chains rattling.
The other is an apartment building a block from where I lived. I forget the legend. Certainly I never heard or saw anything strange when I walked past it. (The filmmakers used the exterior as a location -- not haunted, but as a black hotel -- in the 1965 movie Hotel w/ Rod Taylor.) You'd think there would be some legend attached to the house where Lee Harvey Oswald lived on Magazine Street; but of course he didn't die there. On a "ghost tour" some years ago, the guide tried to convince us that LHO had gone to the same grammar school as I did years later. (Nope; he wasn't living here then.)

Not Halloween but hobby related. I got out some basswood sticks to do some simple, one knife whittling. Got the stropping compound on the strop, found my carving glove (kevlar), and decided which knife to use.
There are a lot of whittling projects using 1 inch square sticks of varying lengths: wizards, owls, gnomes, etc. Doug Linker has a bunch of excellent videos on his YT channel. I reaffirmed that my whittling skills are modest but I bow to no one at making basswood chips and curls. Also realized I have to get back some hand strength if I want to carve for longer than 15 minutes at a time. But whatever the results, whittling is a very relaxing activity.

Proper Halloween trick or treating is just another thing the 20 somethings probably never experienced as kids.

My usual Halloween tradition now is to re-read "Oh, Whistle, and I'll Come to You, My Lad" by M.R. James and "The Cocoon" by John B.L. Goodwin, two of the scariest stories in literature. And maybe some scenes from King's Salem's Lot for good measure.

Scampywife is a Hallowwen baby. Tons of stories, outfits, etc., over the years. When Littles were around I used to carve a fair amount of semi-intricate pumpkins. Shadow/contrast faces, create the templates, bats, American flag once, etc. Used multiple knives, nails, scalpel, exacto, serrated tools (recip saw blades) for the creations. Once the kids headed along to their next steps the carving and decorating died down. Costume party this evening at the golf course.

Ach, Deutschland has taken up a limited observance of Halloween beginning in 1994. It has competition from Rosenmontag, which is roughly the Deutsch equivalent of Mardi Gras or Carnival. Children don costumes and visit houses where Halloween-themed decorations are on display, a signal that Trick-Or-Treating is acceptable there.
But remember, this is Deutschland, so, it's a little....different. The costumed youngsters call it Süßes oder Saures (roughly "sweets or sours"), but more often, they say "Süßes sonst gibt’s Saures," the literal meaning of which is "Give me sweets or there will be sour things." Ja, even among the merriment, there is a threat. Nice Haus you and Lisl have here, Herr Friedrich, shame if something should happen to it if you don't cough up some candy ASAP. At times Werner believes the Mafia might have developed some of their M.O. just by observing every-day German social interactions.

Heh...I've done the Oktoberfest in Munich years ago, with a bunch of college friends. We all went over there primarily to visit another college friend who was stationed in the Fulda Gap with the 3rd Armored division.
Things I learned. Don't pass out in any of the tents or they'll shave your head (women from Italy are not exempt...which is where I learned this). Always make time to visit the bier gardens in Munich. The Hoff Brau Haus has a one below street level which is epic. I learned how to parachute in that place with a bunch of US Airborne who were also just visiting (jump tuck and roll...off the long table). Best beer I had over there wasn't even Bavarian. It was Czech (Budvar). There really is a red light district in Munich...and it's cleaner than most places in the US. Final lesson. Be an extrovert and meet everyone. The Oktoberfest tents are what the UN was supposed to be. People from all over the globe trying to communicate in various languages while enjoying liter mugs of beer. I happened to get there just before the wall came down and E. Germans were slipping through Hungary. Those guys were a treat to behold. They were loving life.

Halloween TV? Of course there was the Trek episode, "Catspaw." "Halloween" was an early and very important episode of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, presenting the original idea that on 10/31, vampires stay home instead of roaming free as they do every other night in the year.
Until the late Seventies, I think, nearly every TV show that presented a Halloween-themed episode made a point of clearing it all up at the end, making sure the viewer knew that the ghosts or goblins had all been a hoax by the villain. After Kolchak the Night Stalker, I think, it began to be okay to present the supernatural as real and therefore much scarier.

I always decorate the front yard and house with tons of lights, pumpkins, and a graveyard with a life-size death figure. I also usually have an elaborate costume (Medusa, demon, Viking priestess, vampiress). We live in a great neighborhood for trick or treating as there are no through streets - it's a giant cul-de-sac. One year some asshole dad got worked up and said, "I think you are purposely being scary." I replied, "it's Halloween, not Christmas ["..., cocksucker" was implied]." Funnily enough, I do not consider it a successful Halloween unless I make at least one kid cry. But I give out lots of good candy to reward all the brave kids who make it to the door. And I always get lots of compliments from the kids, especially the ones who have come for several years: they say it's their favorite house.

Herr Orson, you are on target regarding Oktoberfest. Werner would only add that one should be aware of the "Hill of Shame," and if a fellow in Bavarian Trachen stands with one foot resting atop one of the many tables with a flagon of absurd length, know that both tradition and his intent is to down it at one go. It is not wise to imitate this, no matter how well one feels one can hold one's beer.

Neptunous Lex (the late Naval Aviator) would always have a dinner for his daughter's friends on Halloween.
He would sneak outside at some point, put on a mask, and put his face next to the dining room windows. And wait until he was noticed by the girls. IDK if he had a survival knife with him. But the screaming was very loud. Posted by: NaCly Dog at October 26, 2024 06:46 PM (u82oZ) 89

My neighbors have aged and the family with the bar in the garage moved away, so a great tradition died. We used to drink beer and share one with the occasional parent.

I've really been getting into 3D Printing, one of the great utilities of a 3D printer is the random things you can print to solve a problem.
I had a duplex outlet that because of the way the back box was installed and how it was mudded, there was an annoying gap between the wall and cover plate. Well, measured the gaps and created a shim plate in the modeler, printed it up in less than 15 minutes, and voila, annoying gap is gone.

I love Halloween. I have a skeleton who is featured prominently on the studio’s instagram working out with people (Skelly P. Barray), and my whole wrap around porch is covered in skeletons Mardi Gras -ing it up. They are throwing beads, wearing feathered masks, etc. It’s probably the tamest display in a long time, normally I have the whole yard turned into a graveyard, complete with old iron fence. But I had no one who would help get the fence out of the attic, so went lower key.

The scariest Halloween decoration I ever made was a jack-o-lantern.
I got the idea that it would be fun and interesting instead of trying to carve a face out, but would be fun to smash out the face design using a hammer. It came out really groovy and grotesque looking dimly lit with a candle, and almost all of the littler kids would stop and stare and not come any closer until Mom or Dad brought them. No real effort but excellent result. Posted by: naturalfake at October 26, 2024 07:22 PM (eDfFs) 126

In Los Angeles, Halloween is THE biggest holiday. There is a long street in Sierra Madre, where every house decorates, and when I say decorates, I mean lighted hand carved pumpkins, anywhere from 50-300! Other houses have displays with mechanicals and projection screeen, etc. It is wild - and a perfect representation of the fruts, nuts and flakes in that area.

Halloween never was much fun when I was a kid because I grew up on a farm. The nearest neighbors were half a mile away. Trick-or-treating meant get into the car, and our parents would drive ny sister and me to that house, then Grandma and Grandpa A, and finally Grandma and Grandpa B. The school and church had Halloween parties, but that only meant that Dad had trouble driving home because kids had soaped the windshield.
In addition, I wore glasses, which made it cumbersome to wear a character mask. By the time I got contact lenses, I was too old for costumes (for a few years, anyway). Our kids and I did the usual routine -- with one twist. My wife is a helluva seamstress, and she made many of the kids' costumes, particularly for our daughter, who has quite an imagination. I will always remember her jellyfish outfit. As a comics fan, I have sometimes handed out comics to go with the candy. That's harder than it sounds because there are no comics for little kids anymore. I hit the cheapo shelves at the FLCS today but found nothing appropriate. So I ended up paying cover price for a dozen Disney reprint issues, featuring Mickey or Donald. Harvey and Gold Key, I miss you. Posted by: Weak Geek at October 26, 2024 07:42 PM (p/isN) 142

Well, working on vehicles is a hobby for me, even if the work involved is necessary or routine. Today I was messing with wheel alignment on my 99 3/4 ton Suburban. Set caster and camber on the left side, bringing it into spec (I think, LOL). Steering wheel had been off-center to the right, so I shortened one tie rod by a half-turn on the sleeve, and lengthened the other by the same amount. Steering wheel is now off-center to the left by about half as much.
Road-tested it. Better than it was, now has a very slight pull to the right on pavement, slightly more on gravel. Have it back on the hoist, will attempt to tweak camber and caster on right side. I could happily drive it the way it is, but want to make it as good as I can get it. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at October 26, 2024 07:43 PM (nezN1) 145

Trick-or-treating with the kids in the early years was usually a flop because we all would leave the house at the same time as the other young families. Therefore, nobody home to hand out candy. Once we got home, all the little ones had gone home, too.
In later years, one parent would stay home. That worked out better. This year I'm doing a solo stint because my wife will be out of state. Don't tell her, but I bought small bags of chips to go with the chocolate and comics. Posted by: Weak Geek at October 26, 2024 07:55 PM (p/isN) 151

Vegetable carving originated in the British Isles, not just Ireland, and every area has its own traditions stretching back millennia.
Like most ancient traditions we have retained the practice but forgotten the reason. Interestingly, everywhere has different names for the lanterns but the oldest reference to 'Jack O' Lanterns' comes from the east coast of England. It's another name for Will O' the Wisps, atmospheric lights that you sometimes see out on the broads or above peat. Posted by: stv at October 26, 2024 09:40 PM (R9gNI) 155
Over the past decade the Germans have increasingly adopted Halloween. Two decades ago "Trick-or-treating" was something that only existed at military installations or in neighborhoods near them in which a good number of Americans lived. Nowadays a kid can stroll through a neighborhood and collect a decent haul. I'd say participation is maybe around 5% in some neighborhoods, but the population density makes a full bag eminently possible within easy walking distance.

K.T.!
You're the best! Thanks, I'm trying to get pictures to you this week. First, I loved the tarantula video. And the cat in the pumpkin. Jack the Cat is so cute! Trumpy and Snowflake are well. It's almost been a month since they've been visiting. We trust them completely in the house. Even alone. But I try to keep them separate. Our friends told me Trumpy will be getting fixed Thrusday. Snowflake was going to get neutered Friday but her Mom was concerned she may be pregnant and they wouldn't abort the kittens. I get worried about the cats when they leave the house. They are outdoor cats so there is a part of me mentally prepared for bad things happening. They have free run of the house and are here more and more. When they sleep, I love going up to them, petting them and hearing them purr. I kiss them on the head and tell them I love you. The dog, Ralphy is getting more 'I love you's too. Thank everyone for your help during this. I am concerned about their weight, although Jack looks very happy. I have been weighing them like a crazy pageant Mom and monitoring their food intake. I actually have kittens to go take care of. Everyone have a happy week. And thank you!

Hello fellow pet servants. Toby dog is tired but happy because I took a short ride today and let Toby tag along.
I just swatted a spider. I hardly ever kill them but this fool was dangling right between me and the monitor. I'll tolerate things like snakes and spiders that eat mice and flies IF they stay out of my bubble. Posted by: PaleRider at October 26, 2024 03:52 PM (CKOCg) 23

Afternoon, Pet folken,
Stateless, all this time I thought Trumpy was a red tabby. He's gray -- a "blue" cat, I think it's called! That tail is amazing in its length and sheer presence. Longhairs are the best! My monsters are here -- at least I can see big black Stirling. No idea where little gray Dagny has gotten off to. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at October 26, 2024 04:11 PM (omVj0) 39
At the barber this morning, another patron told my barber her new kitten has been scratching her arms. The arms did not look bad -- I think she meant the kitten was milk-treading. I asked and she showed me a phone video of what looked like a short-haired version of a Ragdoll cat: bright blue eyes, creamy fur, grayish-brown mask and darker ears and tail. The lady said she found the kitten near a dumpster at a nearby hospital (!). Is there such a breed as a short-haired Ragdoll variant?

Our household monster is currently parked on the mouse pad and expects me to put my hand back on the table so she can sleep on it. She seems to think there should be no penalty for her failure an hour ago to deposit all of her solid digestive by-products in the litter box and saving some of it to leave on the family room rug.
But the nifty Mrs Some Guy is partial to her. So I guess the little fuzzball will not be punted into the next county. This time, anyway... Ah, cats... Posted by: Just Some Guy at October 26, 2024 04:19 PM (q3u5l) 43

I've written before on here, practically every week, how our exuberant young Malinois Daisy wants to play, but old lucky black cat Ony will - at best - tolerate her getting close, but usually just hiss and run off.
Well, this week we had a great instance of interspecies cooperation. Sort-of. In the main room, we saw Ony with something in her mouth. Yes, a wiggling mouse. Don't know if she caught it in the house or brought it in from the back porch. Ony ran into the bedroom with it (oh no!) and Milady followed her in. Cat owners can relate that a cat will rarely help by taking its prey outside. And, of course, on encouragement to do otherwise, she dropped the rodent. Fortunately, it scuttled back out into the main room, where Daisy, already alerted to Something Happening, caught the beast. Daisy dropped it and picked it up several times. Then we said to Daisy, take it out in the back yard. And she did! It was dark out, so we don't know the mouse's final fate, but when Daisy came back in, she was mouse-free. Good teamwork, critters. Treats and pets all around.

Little Dagny has taken to stretching out in the narrow tunnel between the couch and the end table -- at the opposite end of the couch from my usual seat, so I don't see her unless I look. I petted her just now and she seemed pleased, as always, to receive attention. She's still not one to seek out attention, but likes it when she gets it.

Daughter and I just got back from the dog park. I thought it would just be a big fenced in field, but there are actually trails through the "woods" and in the middle there is a nice big open space. Our two boys got to sniff and be sniffed. And after the walk, we gave them a bath. This park has an all-weather little building with a dog wash inside. Warm water and everything!

As for spiders, yes, I usually leave them be. My mother's advice to me as a young Wolfus was to leave them alone, as they would catch and kill worse things. That said . . . my '03 Buick Park Avenue seemed to be haunted now and then by these pale, long-legged spiders. Every now and then I'd find one in the trunk, or scuttering across the roof. They showed up against the dark finish, and I'd sweep them off.
One day, though, I was driving, and one swung down in front of my face! I grabbed it and crushed it fast. In traffic, a distraction like that I do not need. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at October 26, 2024 04:37 PM (omVj0) 55

Posted by: Stateless at October 26, 2024 03:58 PM (jvJvP) I grew up on a farm and in the summers we had a huge garden spider that spun a four foot web on our back porch. One morning I headed out in the morning to do chores and it ran over to the edge of the web and waggled its legs. I put my hand out, it put one leg on my hand, then scuttled back. After that, it came over every morning to touch my hand. Plus we had no flies or mosquitoes on the porch! Posted by: Moki at October 26, 2024 04:40 PM (wLjpr) 57

Spiders and snakes, skinks and others... if it seems to be a garden spider or garden snake, we will try to catch it in our Mindful Webworks Bug Cup™️ and let it go outside.
If it's an ugly spider or indeterminant, goosh. Sorry guy. Never had a bad snake get into the house, so far. Assuming our furry hunters don't find them first. Ony cat has been pretty good at alerting us to big ol' garden spiders crawling along, then lets us deal with 'em. Daisy dog catches flies, and other fluttering insects. Really had a furious chase going after a big buzzing fly the other day, but dog won. Bon appétit, pupster!

Pumpkin puree (like you use to make pumpkin pies) is good for dog digestive problems, not just diarrhea but also stomach upsets.

I'm trying to grow several Tiny Tim tomato plants indoors this winter. The seedlings are in their big boy pots now, and I've been setting them outside in the warmer weather.

Yesterday I picked the last of my peppers, still green ones and the few that managed to go red in the last week.
This final batch went from the cayenne that are hot as hydrofluoric acid even when green to the ones that taste sort of like bell peppers until they turn red. I chopped them up, salted them down, and I am leaving the jar on the sideboard so it can ferment into hot sauce.

Hwy 395 runs along the eastern side of the Sierra and weaves back and forth across the Nevada/California borders. The whole drive is pretty cool. Pinion pines, plank floored general stores, Mono lake, the Alabama Hills, the awesome bakery in Bishop and an old cemetery near Vinton looks like a transplant out of a John Ford western.

Don't know if anybody caught this - but the Adventure pics look like 'Bodie' not 'Brodie' Ca.
Posted by: Anonymous Rogue Recommend both 'high clearance' and AWD or 4WD even if they say they are not needed when going to Bodie CA. Posted by: AZ deplorable moron at October 26, 2024 01:57 PM (SbFrc) 20

Add Tioga Pass (the back entrance to Yosemite) to that list. The Mobil gas station at that intersection used to be a 5 star restaurant, the Whoa Nellie Deli. I guess it is still there; but, I haven't eaten at it in years so don't know if it is still as good as it used to be. If anyone stops please let us know!

Sadly, there isn't much autumn color this year in our area. An unusually wet period followed by a drought and seriously hot temps put the kibosh on it. Don't know if it is related, but we have very few acorns on the oak in the back yard. However, the tree itself looks healthy even if the squirrels will be pissed off.

Posted by: 13times at October 26, 2024 01:56 PM (cRqVW) I second this post. The run from where 395 meets 14 going north is one of our favorite drives. And - a lot of western were filmed in the Alabama Hills area west of Lone Pine. Schat's bakery in Bishop is a 'don't miss'. Owen's Lake was once deep enough to support steamship traffic - in fact - two vessels were lost in a storm on the lake and never found.

I love that photo. Reminds me of the Mother's Day I had to be shoveled out of the driveway following a surprise snowstorm in Gaylord, Michigan. As I traveled south, I passed a lake which was warm enough that it thawed the snow on the trees. It looked like an enchanted oasis.
I pulled up some vines and harvested a mutant gourd-shaped striped squash and a green onion. Will put a tarp on the zucchini tonight. Maybe it will survive for the unseasonably warm week ahead. But my main adventure was pushing over the big pot I want to move to the front yard. A swarm of hornets came out, but it was cold and windy so they were slower than I. They buzzed around in a cloud for a surprisingly long time. When it finally gets cold, I will empty the pot into the firepit. Posted by: NaughtyPine at October 26, 2024 02:08 PM (+ODIT) 26

I don't know if this was common or mostly for where I grew up but the fall season brought it to mind. When I was little, kids found colorful autumn leaves on the ground that hadn't become brittle. We brought them home and using an iron pressed them between pieces of wax paper. The heat fused the paper. The area without leaves stayed translucent but the leaves' colors really shone through. This was really cool when in kindergarten or first grade.

In Africa Lantana was considered an invasive weed and eradicated whenever possible. Around one of my boarding schools in Nairobi, it grew in extensive, impenetrable groves. Nothing short of a giant Caterpillar with blade would clear that lot.

Hi everybody
After the huge high of being in Texas with the horde, back to mundane household tasks. Took down the last of the container veges. Nights have gotten pretty cold so it was time but still sad. Fall foliage here is petty different from New England. Peak color is like two days long and then gone. Thereis a reward though once the leaves are gone I get fabulous sunsets right off my back door.

I haven't seen potatoes harvested in about 30 years. They used to I believe have an implement that dug them up and then they left them above ground and I think then they were put in bins or boxes. Not sure, I'd have to ask.

I received to small transplants of red currant from an 87 year old lady. The bushes have been on her homestead forever.
In the 50s the forest service came through eradicating all currants from the area because they purportedly harboured blister rust, which was decimating the white pines. White pine was a big commercial crop.... for matchsticks if I recall correctly. Anywho...this woman threatened to shoot the forest service employees if they touched her currants. They left and never came back. And of course, they recently discovered red currants are blister rust resistant. Always had been. Figures. Posted by: Derak at October 26, 2024 03:22 PM (br/pB) 67

From Boise area: Got home from an East Coast trip on Tuesday late. Since then, lows 34-45 F, highs 52-69. Colder temps coming up...
Found that squirrels had nibbled part of an outdoor candle, leaving little wax shreds by it. WTH? Various things are now dead - zucchini, tomatoes, nasturtiums. Marigolds damaged, but there should still be a few left for All Souls Night. Red raspberries and strawberries still producing a few decent ones. Harvested a few last poblanos. Broccolini plants still alive, but I don't think I'll get more from them. Rosemary pot was brought indoors before the trip. Garlic still needs planting. Today we emptied dirt onto a tarp, from the last few tomato pots. One was destroyed by burrowing critters (vile little beasts!) and 2 damaged. Saw 2 voles scarpering away from us. Definitely getting barn cats next year! Also today, raked up leaves from 3 sweet gums and shredded them. Husband sawed a limb, which was trying to block the sidewalk, off the front crabapple tree.

Posted by: Farmer at October 26, 2024 07:34 PM (55Qr6) Thread before the Gardening Thread, October 26Too Many Stories - Trump is Hitler One of our challenges, and one of the challenges for the "other side" right now is that there are so many stories that it is hard for people to focus. Do you ever feel this? Take the "Trump is Hitler" theme in The Atlantic: It is entirely reasonable to think that this was planned as part of a larger psy-op rolling out over several days to justify violence at some point in time if "necessary". James Carville had just threatened insurrection and nobody much seemed to notice. (Piece also touches on some stories you may have missed.) But then the LA Times and the Washington Post refused to endorse Kamala, even though she had confirmed that she was running against Hitler. And Joe Rogan didn't seem to be afraid of Hitler, either. Kind of undercut Kamala's speech and The Atlantic's stories. Let's be unburdened by what has been, okay wokesters? Let's not boycott Amazon Prime to show that we disapprove of WaPo's insufficient hatred of Hitler! We wouldn't want to be like those stupid MAGA types who do boycotts, would we? Okay, maybe we could petition them to change their motto to something that doesn't mention democracy dying in the dark. Maybe something like "What can be, unburdened by what has been". Let's go really Marxist! And maybe Jennifer Rubin could resign. The Economy I think the big story for the weekend was supposed to be that 23 Nobel Prize Winners said that Kamala's economic plan was better than Trump's. At least Friday is when my lefty "friends" on social media picked it up. I have a hard time imagining that all those Nobel Prize Winners really think that taxing unrealized capital gains is going to expand the economy. What an accounting nightmare! Among other drawbacks. I don't know if that made it into Kamala's final written proposal, but her values remain the same, as she repeatedly says. I'm not sure Trump has completely explained his economic plan for the eggheads. Here's one rundown on tariffs, via the 9/26 Morning Report. A Penn-Wharton analysis is also at odds with the 23 letter signers. There have been some problems in the past with tariffs. Bush did a steel tariff which didn't work out. But Trump is not the only one for whom tariffs have worked. For Trump, tariffs have been a negotiating tool, as described by a fellow billionaire. He used tariffs to negotiate the "remain in Mexico" policy, for example. Tariffs were not permanent. Tariffs were a bargaining chip. The story of the eloquent billionaire who described this perspective on tariffs, is remarkable. He lost a brother and employees on 9/11.On the morning of September 11th, 2001, I was taking my son to his first day of kindergarten. My phone kept ringing and disconnecting. I later learned it was my brother Gary trying to call to say goodbye. Cantor Fitzgerald was located on the 101st to the 105th floors of the World Trade Center. We lost 658 people that day, including my brother Gary, who was 36, and my best friend Doug, who was 39. I promised to take care of all the families. They became part of my family. Over the next five years, Cantor Fitzgerald gave the families $180 million and paid for their healthcare for 10 years. Today, the purpose of @CantorRelief is to take care of people who are in need.AMERICA!

It is entirely reasonable to think that this was planned as part of a larger psy-op rolling out over several days to justify violence at some point in time if "necessary".”
They don’t actually have the command and control to launch anything that coordinated, even if some of them wish they did. There’s a great essay on substack, linked on X, by a poster calling himself Bennett's Phylactery. His thesis is: “We've seen a lot of Vulgar Displays of Power in the last few years (COVID, BLM, Epstein, the steal, etc) But they never seem to go anywhere, because USG is not a human institution with goals - it is a fungus.” In other words, the radical Left is huge, and powerful, and invasive, and terrifying. But it has no intelligence, and routinely makes errors that anyone could avoid with even a little bit of thought. (Like nominating Kamala) Worth finding and reading.

It shows that even eminent economists will vote their class interests, when push comes to shove.
Institutionally, official economics has been captured by the Left, along with everything else. The last time I checked a few years ago, about eight people constituted the official leadership of the American Economics Association. One white male, for a organization that is at least two-thirds white males. Posted by: The ARC of History! at October 26, 2024 11:41 AM (uxCna) 33
I have a hard time imagining that all those Nobel Prize Winners really think that taxing unrealized capital gains is going to expand the economy. What an accounting nightmare! Among other drawbacks. I don't know if that made it into Kamala's final written proposal, but her values remain the same, as she repeatedly says.

This one guy in Phoenix is not a citizen, but a legal resident. He renewed his license. Then shortly after he got a voter registration card in the mail. He wrote to the elections board and said I’m not a citizen, I can’t be registered. He was ignored. He even filled out a form to in-register. It was never processed.
So he called a local news station and they ran his story. The news station asked for comment from Maricopa County. They said no comment while they are “investigating”. In other words fuck off and let us steal this election for Harris will ya? Posted by: Settled Science at October 26, 2024 11:42 AM (4GhDa) 35

Because economics is not a real science. Just a bunch of fucks who understand statistics a bit, but their understanding cause-and-effect is nil.

Virginia has the names of the noncitizens they wanted to purge from the voter roles. And they should know where they live and, therefore, what precincts they would vote at. So send a list of the names to each precinct and wait with cops to arrest them for voter fraud if they show up and try to vote. Ditto if they try to mail them in.

I will say though, Trump has done a shit job laying out his tax plans and telling voters Harris will raise their taxes by not renewing the Trump tax cuts. Taxes should have been front and center instead of just obvious gimmicks that aren't going to actually become law.

The only reason tariffs are unpopular are because we have off shored manufacturing.
===== Replacing all domestic federal tax with a sales tax (rate calculated to have some net cost after for domestic goods) would result in little change in the cost of those domestic goods. Yet, oddly, imported shiite would net about 50% more. You can almost say that our front end federal taxes are subsidizing imported goods.

Time will tell. I interpret his actions a little differently. Starting with no tax on tips starts the public thinking about taxes and their purpose and the "theft". From there it is a natural progression to "why are we taxed at all".
Posted by: AmericanKestrel at October 26, 2024 12:11 PM (PcTds) Imagine a world, where people start to think of their money as their money, and that government "services" are only ever allowed to exist... when the people decide to let it. In such a world, defense secretaries won't be able to fund foreign wars, only the people's representatives will be able to make those decisions, and be held accountable for them. They won't be able to kick funding and budgets down the road, allowing the government to just keep funding itself perpetually. What a world that would be.

Posted by: Itinerant Alley Butcher at October 26, 2024 12:29 PM (/lPRQ) The stated reason for moving from tariff to personal income tax was to get rid of the partisan arguments over what imports to tax, and make a more even taxation of the individuals who profited most from arguing over the tariffs, manufacturers and millionaires who owned industries. The unspoken reason was to secure a ready revenue for the feds in the face of international downturns caused by things that disrupted international trade LIKE GETTING INTO POINTLESS WARS THAT ONLY SERVED TO PUFF UP WILSON'S EGO and reward federal contractors who disliked getting paid in bonds and promissory notes.

********* I appreciate the kind thoughts. The plan is to excavate a large area using two large excavators in tandem to follow a "scent trail" of K9 hits and connect all the dots. Every previous K9 response location (from two prior teams, totalling 7 dogs and almost 20 specific TFRs) will be dug. Additional K9 support will be on-site. If nothing is found following that plan of attack we will be confident that it is not the burial site. TFR- Trained Final Response.

I'm beginning to think/hope that the pres election is getting beyond the point that any plausible fraud can change it, based on the fact that the Kamala campaign and media seem to be in a state of phoning it in otlr grasping at straws.

In this case though, all I'm saying is, I listened to the first 10 minutes or so, and he was rambling. He didn't answer the question Rogan asked, and it's rather odd that he didn't.

When it rains, it pours... for the DEMs:
Lots of chatter today about how Trump has taken the lead in the average of RCP national polls-- something which is literally unprecedented.* Overlooked is that the GOP now also leads in the "generic Congressional" vote. The GOP is ahead in that too. Think about it: EVEN WITH CA & NY included, more voters say they're likely to vote Republican. If the RCP generic aggregate of all polls is accurate, that means the GOP holds the House, imo. The GOP is already guaranteed to take the Senate... unless the DEMs can beat Ted Cruz in TX! If the DEMs were to flip the House, Trump would have to go fish as far as passing anti-illegal alien legislation. And pretty much everything else, too. I realize the "GOP-controlled" House has been a disappointment to us. But it will seem like the Good Ole Days after 2-4 years of Speaker Jeffries. *(excepting only the time period between the Biden-Trump debate and Biden's withdrawal) Posted by: mnw at October 26, 2024 03:31 PM (NLIak) 259

Adolph Eichmann was many things, but he sure as hell wasn't BANAL! His rank was kept artificially low, to avoid attracting attention.

Senator Fetterman elaborated:
I was doing an event in Indiana County. Very, very red. And there was a superstore of Trump stuff, and it was a hundred feet long, and it was dozens of T-shirts and hats and bumper stickers and all kinds of, I mean, it’s like, Where does this all come from? It’s the kind of thing that has taken on its own life. And it’s like something very special exists there. And that doesn’t mean that I admire it. It’s just — it’s real. And now [Elon] Musk is joining him. I mean, to a lot of people, that’s Tony Stark. That’s the world’s richest guy. And he’s obviously, and undeniably, a brilliant guy, and he’s saying, Hey, that’s my guy for president. That’s going to really matter. Posted by: SMOD at October 26, 2024 05:27 PM (GITLP) 267

Greetings one and all. Had a nice date with my wife last night. Went to see the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra perform "The Nightmare Before Christmas." Absolute blast except for trying to get out of the parking lot at the end of the show.

Reposting because I love this story about witch's spells bouncing off Trump:
"I hate to say this, but don't do magic against him. He has a form of protection surrounding him that feeds off of magic done against him. You will have better results if you focus your magic on helping his opponent or protecting yourself and others. I wish it would work to bind him or do a freezer spell, but you will only be helping him" They also suggest throwing spells on his supporters. Which may explain why you may be feeling froggy this morning. Posted by: fd at October 26, 2024 08:36 AM (vFG9F) 16

And now that I'm out of the Guard, no need to shave anyway. Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H.

And yes, I have a beard -- but it's the neatly trimmed Commander Riker style, and I have to shave the cheeks, the lower lip, and the throat below the sharp beard line. Maybe after I retire I'll go to a Hans Gruber style beard and learn to shave my lower cheeks down to my throat. Or maybe not.

I think that if we look realistically at the election, it's a total disaster for the Dems. States previously seen as solid blue are now apparently in play.
Yet I know a lot of people are very anxious about the outcome, no doubt due to the disappointments of 2020 and 2022. Everyone fears the cheat. However, I think those events happened for a reason. The disappointment of 2022 led me to a deeper, more fulfilling prayer life and my family as well. It also caused evil to become more brazen and bold, forcing people to pay attention. The way I see it, our country has become mired in wickedness and sin, and being Catholic, I don't believe that simply repenting is enough. There has to be redress as well, a penance for the harm caused. So it may well happen that we're only getting started on the road, and with millions of dead children caused by our wanton pursuit of sexual license and pleasure, we can only agree that it is right and just.

When Rev was still pastor at the church, a woman came to him suffering from severe anxiety and fear. She fell down when she entered the church and became ill.

HILLARY CLINTON - FTW! COLLINS: What do you think Kamala Harris has to do to avoid a repeat of 2016? HILLARY CLINTON: Well first of all I don't think she has Jim Comey in the wings waiting to kneecap her, so that's good. that is why the media is so full of crap when they push that republicans were underrepresented in the polls in 2016, intentionally ignoring what Comey did, yet implying that same underrepresentation in 2024 is a false flag. Our biggest challenge as it was for Hillary is the misrepresentations that are propagated by media pundits in the 24/7 news cycle. The FCC was supposed to regulate and prevent such conglomeration. Each GOP administration turned such agencies on their heads, so that they worked for corporations instead of 'consumers'. Hillary is a badass and a Democratic hero. Love it when she takes the gloves off. And watch Collins's face! It broke my heart in 2016. Hillary would have been an outstanding president….such a loss for the nation when she lost the EC.

Posted by: Dr Pork Chops & Bacons at October 26, 2024 08:52 AM (g8Ew --- It's as real as anything else. There are different branches of it, from the more hipster Wicca crap to hard-core animal sacrifice and blood magic. It very much works - no, people aren't turned to toads per se - but the souls of those who practice it are decisively turned away from God and into the service of demons, and this energy is spreading through a society that doesn't understand the implications of allowing it or using it. Evil shifts its ground to suit society. In a secular materialist world, the smart play is to make witchcraft seem fun, feminist and generally harmless, so that it is tolerated. Christianity is then framed as stifling, conformist, joyless, patriarchal, and so women leave it. And the devil reaps a rich harvest of souls. It's very real. Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H.

So it may well happen that we're only getting started on the road, and with millions of dead children caused by our wanton pursuit of sexual license and pleasure, we can only agree that it is right and just.
Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd Amen. My prayer life, like yours, has also increased dramatically. Personally, there have been positive habits undertaken due to those elections. Even now - haven't we all noticed a huge shift in our enemies' actions over those years? imho, they have made a huge mistake in thinking they could get away with anything. At a minimum, the general pop is noticing - at best, they are starting to realize that indeed, we must fight back. It's a start. Posted by: Tonypete at October 26, 2024 08:59 AM (WXNFJ) 78

When Rev was still pastor at the church, a woman came to him suffering from severe anxiety and fear. She fell down when she entered the church and became ill. Yada yada yada Rev finally had to refer her to a Catholic priest who did exorcisms. The woman had been involved in witchcraft and was clearly suffering in a spiritual way. Last I heard, she was restored.

I’m pretty sure a good portion of my life before fully accepting Jesus can best be described as “Misery and Gin”. The “church” and religion has always been part of my life, and I have tried to serve it as best as I was capable. But that’s a lot different than your relationship with Jesus. I think once you gain perspective, look back, and realize it was the Lord who carried you across the battlefield of life, it changes things. You know longer need the vices, nor do you put stock in the things of this world. You finally gain peace knowing that all things come from Him, and without that you are lost and are, or were, incapable of achieving anything. IMVHO

Evil shifts its ground to suit society. In a secular materialist world, the smart play is to make witchcraft seem fun, feminist and generally harmless, so that it is tolerated. Christianity is then framed as stifling, conformist, joyless, patriarchal, and so women leave it.

And the devil reaps a rich harvest of souls. It's very real. Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd "The Barbarian hopes - and that is the mark of him - that he can have his cake and eat it too. He will consume what civilization has slowly produced after generations of selection and effort, but he will not be at pains to replace such goods, nor indeed has he a comprehension of the virtue that has brought them into being. Discipline seems to him irrational, on which account he is ever marvelling that civilization, should have offended him with priests and soldiers... In a word, the Barbarian is discoverable everywhere in this, that he cannot make: that he can befog and destroy but that he cannot sustain; and of every Barbarian in the decline or peril of every civilization exactly that has been true. "We sit by and watch the barbarian. We tolerate him in the long stretches of peace, we are not afraid. We are tickled by his irreverence; his comic inversion of our old certitudes and our fixed creed refreshes us; we laugh. But as we laugh we are watched by large and awful faces from beyond, and on these faces there are no smiles." - Hilaire Belloc Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh at October 26, 2024 09:15 AM (EsZUh) 122

The Truth is really at the root of all things. It’s why our Savior emphasized that so much. Very much a theme in the Old Testament, btw.
Think about the vices and diversions of contemporary life. Consumerism, media, pathos pleas used to try and destroy the traditional family and social mores proven to make our society better over time. They are all designed to do one thing- distract from the truth. To have a factual, truthful argument today is almost impossible. Fallacy is driven by pathos. Media is driven to distract and divert from verifiable truths. The internet has been corrupted, and is being used to push people away from the truth and towards cultish mendacity. Disagreement and dissent, the basis of truthful argumentation is not tolerated, and the forces of evil are trying to wipe it out. One has to ask themselves why only to find the answer.

Witchcraft is a myth. Posted by: Dr Pork Chops & Bacons at October 26, 2024 09:11 AM (g8Ew --- You're still blinded by a secular materialist view of the world, one that expect magic to manifest as an 8d6 fireball, save vs spell for half damage. It's much more subtle than that. Witches are about rejecting God, creating an alternative morality based on sexual license and the pursuit of power and pleasure. The results of that are quite real, and their spells have convinced a great many women that abortion is the most essential "right" they ever posses, so much so that even silent prayer against it must be suppressed. I'd argue that outright banning Christian prayer is a hell of a lot more powerful than casting a fireball. Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at October 26, 2024 09:21 AM (llXky) 134

Mr. Lloyd, a story from the Texas MoMe that you will like. The height of Saturday evening’s festivities is a raffle where everyone who wants to participate wins a gift. In previous visits I have gotten a coffee mug and dont step on snek picture, fun stuff, but this year I won the best gift there I have ever won in any raffle - my very own copy of Walls of Men, which I am working through currently. A delight!

Thousands of fake registrations have been found in Lancaster County, PA. This county has election workers who apparently have some integrity. The registrations were identified by employees processing them who noticed a lot of suspicious info on those registrations.
But how many thousands of these registrations exist in Philly, Detroit, Atlanta? places run by corrupt Dems with zero integrity. Or employees who give no fucks and just enter the data without checking. Answer: a fuckton. Posted by: Settled Science at October 26, 2024 09:26 AM (4GhDa) 150

I’m pretty sure a good portion of my life before fully accepting Jesus can best be described as “Misery and Gin”. The “church” and religion has always been part of my life, and I have tried to serve it as best as I was capable. But that’s a lot different than your relationship with Jesus. I think once you gain perspective, look back, and realize it was the Lord who carried you across the battlefield of life, it changes things. You know longer need the vices, nor do you put stock in the things of this world. You finally gain peace knowing that all things come from Him, and without that you are lost and are, or were, incapable of achieving anything. IMVHO

Like just about everyone else, the Church assumed the experts knew what they were doing, and made what was felt to be a prudent choice. As the truth became clear, resistance within the Church increased and the leadership realized they'd been duped, which is why Whitmer's blasphemy was strongly denounced by the Michigan bishops and people went to her house and prayed the Rosary.

Mom update - LTC insurance application was denied. I'm not sure they requested or received all the documentation that should have been taken into account. I'm planning to file an appeal but I'm not good at this sort of thing. I was hoping to start some in-home professional help going before it gets to the point that I can't look after her. Because at that point, the funds are going to run out quickly if paying all out of pocket. We continue to plod along tolerably well, but her memory is clearly declining and she has lost all initiative and much of her energy. (Possibly anemic again...) I do not know how hard to "push" her to do things. On the positive side she remains sweet and usually cheerful, and still mobile - but she really needs to move more.

“ Someday I hope to be half this wise. I know this in my head but I don't practice it.
Posted by: screaming in digital at October 26, 2024 09:25 AM (JIkaw)” It’s not easy. There is a lot of “letting go” that has to happen. As a person who is used to try and control the things around him I can tell you it was a journey. But it was perhaps one He wanted me to make. Because I’m stubborn, hard headed, obstinate and a driven type “A”. It takes a lot of prayer, commitment and contemplation. It takes a lot of discarding the past, often until you by rock bottom and find yourself on your knees. But it’s worth it because He will then build you up.

Posted by: Settled Science at October 26, 2024 09:26 AM (4GhDa) --- The actual scope of the steal was quite small, concentrated in five cities. With greater scrutiny and what appears to be a much larger lead, it will be harder to pull off this time. I also think the reason these things are being found so early is that a lot of people who really believed Orange Man Bad now are terrified at the prospect of Harris winning. There's also a new calculus in terms of getting caught. We now know that Bill Barr saw his job as protecting the FBI, not investigating it. So even if Trump had won, the DoJ would have tried to prevent any investigation or prosecution. That is no longer the case. Trump will clean house and people will do hard time if caught.

Evil is often driven by an overzealous, untamable, irrational, driven impulse. You’re seeing it now in this election. There is a lot of pathos driven actions. That said, with all the people watching we will have a very good chance to identify and punish election fraud. They’ve been caught with fraudulent registrations, mail in ballots with real names but phony addresses that are duplicates, and they are being stopped from accepting ballots sent after Election Day. There are a lot of positives, including the fact that if Trump wins more will be exposed and stopped. Most people, not including many Democrats and the media, will accept that. People may care about losing, but they despise losing when it has been achieved in a dishonest and fraudulent way.

The FBI kept files on MLK because he was the willing accomplice of the CPUSA, an organization that operated at the whim of the Soviets. It's at the very least inconsistent to believe that McCarthy was correct in believing that there was a great deal of communist infiltration in government and media without understanding that J. Edgar Hoover was also interested in understanding who they were. Like MLK and many of the people and organizations that used his racial grievance to further their pursuit of political power.

I don't know that I would call it wrapping things up but she is scheduled to give her big final closing argument speech on Tuesday on the National Mall. I do think she like everyone else can see the handwriting on the wall. She has zero momentum, she's not even getting the standard Democrat newspaper endorsements and she's getting battered in early voting including places like Nevada. I don't want to jump the gun or get overconfident but I'm struggling to see a path for her to win and I'm sure her campaign has better, or worse as the case may be, internal polling than we are seeing.

Mark Steyn had an unpleasant article yesterday that unfortunately feels true.
He made two points: Calling Trump literally Hitler, with Kamala Harris explicitly stating that Trump is bad as the guy who killed six million Jews, is not an electoral argument. Kamala has basically conceded the election, and is now preparing the public for the Democrats' refusal to turn over power to Trump. After all, you don't cede power to Adolph Hitler - look what happened to Germany when the Germans did that. Also, Judge Merchan (remember him?) still has a sentencing hearing for Trump at the end of November. (Steyn says the hearing is a week after Election Day, but I think he's wrong about that.) It seems quite possible that this vindictive "judge" may order Trump to be imprisoned in Rikers, even if Trump has been elected President. The solution to Steyn's arguments, of course, is to have Trump win by as large a margin as possible (including a victory in the popular vote), to make these shenanigans look as illegitimate as possible. That matters. Posted by: The ARC of History! at October 26, 2024 09:56 AM (uxCna) 214
I hate to give advice but will just put this out there. There are a few things that helped with bone pain from chemo (after the steroids stop). Vitamin B6 twice a day 1-2 mg total. B12 500 mcg twice a day. Fresh water (through a good filter like Lifestraw) or certain spring waters (one liter a day minimum). Also fresh salmon (not farmed hopefully Alaska) coho or sockeye a few times every week. It’s the best way for your body to absorb those nutrients and vitamins. YMMV.

The solution to Steyn's arguments, of course, is to have Trump win by as large a margin as possible (including a victory in the popular vote), to make these shenanigans look as illegitimate as possible. That matters.
Countering Steyn, a source of optimism is the LA Times and the Washington Post's refusal to issue their expected endorsements of Harris - at least some of the Establishment is preparing for the likelihood that Trump will take power.

45 I think that if we look realistically at the election, it's a total disaster for the Dems. States previously seen as solid blue are now apparently in play.
Yet I know a lot of people are very anxious about the outcome, no doubt due to the disappointments of 2020 and 2022. Everyone fears the cheat. However, I think those events happened for a reason. The disappointment of 2022 led me to a deeper, more fulfilling prayer life and my family as well. It also caused evil to become more brazen and bold, forcing people to pay attention. The way I see it, our country has become mired in wickedness and sin, and being Catholic, I don't believe that simply repenting is enough. There has to be redress as well, a penance for the harm caused. So it may well happen that we're only getting started on the road, and with millions of dead children caused by our wanton pursuit of sexual license and pleasure, we can only agree that it is right and just.

Having investigated and interacted with the Paranormal for over 30 years, I'm a big fan of Halloween and Massachusetts is the place to be for the autumnal holidays: Halloween (Salem) and Thanksgiving (Plymouth) leading the way.
By the way, congratulations to Salem for being named the Number One Halloween town, and Salem is interesting in that it has a strong Wiccan community, a vampire sub culture, and then there are the Weres. This is a group which uses everything from ritual to chaos to sex magic to transform their forms, and while many of you may be dismissive, there does appear to be a goodly amount of evidence that people can assume animal forms. We know this from the Native cultures like the Navajo with their yee naaldlooshii or Skin Walkers. In the Four Corners area, Skinwalkers are a real concern and there is a recent book by a Navajo ranger called: The Paranormal Ranger: A chilling memoir of investigations into the paranormal in Navajoland, which will be an eye opening experience for many of you. I've heard the two rangers: Stanley Milford and Jonathan Dover, and they are the real deal. Check them out on YouTube or on Podcaasts.

The big polling firms have been lying about how close it is and will do a final correction so that they don't look stupid, just as they always do.
Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at October 26, 2024 09:48 AM (llXky) The James Madison and Dave in Fla have been watching the polls and giving very useful insights. To give a very abbreviated summary, the greatest weakness in polling today is that all pollsters run their raw results through a calculated formula which predicts the general makeup of the voters (R, D, I and likely/not likely). If these assumptions are wrong, the ill results are worthless and could be off by 10 or 20 points in any direction. Early returns so far are showing voter makeup that is nothing like what had been assumed til now. You don’t have to predict an outcome to say with certainty that Polling as an industry a is broken, and results this year are little more than dart throwing. The pollsters who are realizing this have settled on calling it 50/50 because that’s the easiest way to hedge their bets - but they have no idea where this is going. Posted by: Tom Servo at October 26, 2024 10:05 AM (S6gqv) 238
I think trying to imprison Trump is probably the worst decision, in a long line of terrible decisions by Democrats. People already feel that Democrats are undermining the rule of law, the justice system and our Bill of Rights. A decision such as that may be the final straw that breaks many people’s back. They are already potentially facing an extinction level event as a party. Even so, they continue to push this line of attack. They have furthermore gone to stating that if they win the House, they will do everything to stop the agenda Trump will win on. Hence the blatant attempts already to try and steal the House seats in California. This can only be seen as what it is, “if we don’t keep power, we will break everything possible and turn to chaos”. God help us if they succeed.

The solution might be a bit simpler. I don't know how many have seen it but the appeals hearing proceedings were published online a few weeks ago and let's just day it did not go well for Bragg. The judges were extremely dubious of the charges brought against Trump and asked if there had been any precedent for these types of charges, exactly who was damaged by Trump since it sure as hell wasn't the banks and a series of other issues where they case extreme doubt on the entire case. I don't think the appeals judges are big Trump supporters but I do think they are worried that a clown case like this one completely untethered from the law and reality is a dangerous precedent to establish for the business community in NYC. And if Trump wins big they might decide the path of least resistance is just to put an end to this farce. Posted by: JackStraw at October 26, 2024 10:06 AM (LkLld) 244

I think Steyn’s 10 year legal case, in which he was treated shamefully, abandoned by what he thought were friends and impoverished really soured him.
What he doesn’t see is that any attempt to pull a Maduro/Venezuela solution will lead to the fast breakup of the country. Suppose DC refuses to certify Trump - well Texas and Florida will recognize him almost immediately, to be joined by at least 2/3 of the states. So then there would be two competing American governments competing for legitimacy; how far into civil conflict do they think they can push this?

Polling. I'm not motivated enough to research it, but how in the world can a poll be conducted today?
Calling people's home phones? I think those are nearing extinction. Calling people's cell phones? Nobody answers numbers they don't recognize anymore. Mail? Slower than Christmas. Maybe there's technology I don't know about with algorithms and bots and software, but I pretty much view any headline about a poll as a means to drive up mouse clicks or page views which means revenue.

Easy to see why many are underwhelmed by Israel's operation last night. It didn't help that there was a steady trickle of senior Israeli official chatter about a "very powerful response" to Iran's earlier missile attack.
But it's mostly a question of expectations, details, and emotions - and some unknown unknowns. It appears that the Israeli operation was a pretty powerful hit against air defenses, and select high-value military-industrial targets of direct relevance to Israel (long range missile and drone development and production). And whatever the expectation/perception situation, it clearly has strategery behind it. Iran was left shorn of much of its air defenses, even as Israel demo'd (again) that it can strike anywhere in Iran it chooses. Valuable assets directly relevant to the war on Israel were hit. So now Tehran can "retaliate" - and face more destruction of valuable assets - or play down the results/claim a defensive victory (this is the tone, so far), and validate perception of regional players that Israel now has the initiative and the upper hand.

OK. Syrian and Iraqi airspace was used, no need for Jordan's.

Franpsycho, it's reasonable to step back and look at this and see the larger game. In that one, Iran is racking up loss after loss.
Israel has been dismantling Iran's most important assets - which are not in Iran. Their key proxies, and long-perceived trump cards deterring Israeli attack, Hamas but especially Hezbollah. This continues (real concern if any, to me, should focus on Israel settling for less than a decisive and comprehensive destruction of Hezbollah). Iran's credibility and perceived power have already been greatly reduced. Last night much of their air defense was eliminated (and shown to be helpless against Israel), and key offensive assets damaged. Now Tehran can either "retaliate" - with a good chance their attack will further demonstrate their inferiority, as the earlier mass attack did - and surely face severe Israeli action against which they are helpless. Or they can dismiss the results of the Israeli operation (as they are right now) and take another L and not respond. Posted by: rhomboid at October 26, 2024 10:51 AM (GcNJ2) 332

No cold peace and no nukes. Neither on the menu.
As noted the key thing now is how thorough Israel will be in Lebanon. Anything short of complete destruction and/or dismantlement of Hezb would be criminally negligent, as it would just be guaranteeing future pain. But as in the past, seems there is a spectacular under-appreciation of how key myths and perceptions and mind-prisons have been obliterated (just as in 1991 and 2003). Iran's vital proxy (Hezb) has been shattered and the feared mass destruction in Israel averted, the key psychological line of direct attack on Iran has been erased, and Israeli superiority and seizure of the initiative clear to all.

WHo is rogan's audience ?
Posted by: runner at October 26, 2024 10:39 AM (V13WU) He is a wildly successful comedian, a UFC guy, kind of a gym bro who is interested in health, interested in being mentally healthy, and seems pretty tired of bullshit and things being hidden. He also respects bravery and honesty. Lot of guys, and a lot of guys who are not being well served by the industrial education, industrial media, industrial food and medicine, and industrial "lifestyle" being pushed. One of the things a culture is supposed to do is to give an OJT position to young men as they learn how to be part of society. What that has become now is to exclude them as threats instead, and force them into permanent subservient roles. Rogan and a few others seem to be reluctantly giving young men back tools and encouragement to start learning on their own. Posted by: Kindltot at October 26, 2024 11:00 AM (D7oie) 361

The Harris abortion schtick does have traction with women. Wife was asking me about that Florida amendment on the ballot.. proponents give the impression that it is illegal now and the measure is resonable. I asked and she answered that it should be legal up to a heartbeat.... She was a tad surprised when told that there are many that want partial birth abortion and that measure would lock it in... etc.

A.H. Lloyd, there are two ways of looking at this, one is that Hamas tried to start a pogrom, that would build on each atrocity bringing in new supporters with success, finally driving the Israelis out, or breaking the Israeli government which has shown indications of admitting Hamas' grievances were valid.
The second is that Hamas tried to push a sort of "Sepoy Rebellion" bringing in all the elements against the Israeli and their allies through a grand coalition of grievance partners - and there is indications that Hamas was doing this inside Israel as well as in neighboring countries. The third was that it was a paid for and arranged demonstration that was supposed to capture US military personnel in Israel as a way to both draw the US into close involvement in Israel and neuter any response just like the Iranian seizure of the US Embassy all those years ago. This would also serve the Neocon strategy of building up countering influences in a region, and then kicking the new allies in the crotch when they got big enough to risk being strong enough to be the local regional power in turn. The third option requires trials, convictions and hangings. Posted by: Kindltot at October 26, 2024 11:13 AM (D7oie) 394

I was wondering how long she's been doing this, and that she started at 17 makes sense of things. Dooby had about 50,000 people show up for her debut across Twitch and YouTube. Voices from the Distant Past Videos of the Tomorrow If you know who this is, you won't want to miss it, even though she'll just be playing a game and chatting. Same goes for this one. It's a heck of a weekend for fans of... A certain Japanese entertainment company. And Rica is having her Live2d debut on the 31st, so it's a heck of a week too. Disclaimer: Do not the Korsche.

4 Pixie, what is the animation software that create the videos you present here? I know nothing about this genre but cannot imagine these are not machine generated images to match the speech?
I'm not sure what Dooby is using for her 3d work. She has an entire home studio set up to match her 3d set, and she can climb around inside that virtual train. She even has an electric car of some kind that she can ride on that is linked to a miniature 3d train on screen. That's all pretty complicated though, not to mention expensive. Most vtubers use software called Live2d https://www.live2d.com/en/ or VTube Studio https://denchisoft.com/ since those don't require an elaborate setup. You just need a good webcam or smart phone to track your face and hands, and a 2d model that has been "rigged" to move the same way you do. All of this is done live, which is why it's so popular. The streamer can be talking and responding to viewers while in their virtual character. Posted by: Pixy Misa at October 26, 2024 04:22 AM (BLOW1) 14
I understood the words you wrote but what generates the “skin”?
Posted by: Pete Bog at October 26, 2024 04:20 AM (1/rkI) Not sure what the tech is these days, but two years ago, you had a "face rig" of some kind to motion-capture and software translated that into animation. Think Gollum but with anime girls. Posted by: pookysgirl, not sure what her preciousss anime would be at October 26, 2024 04:24 AM (dtlDP) 15
Yes, there's all sorts of levels to this, from plonking yourself at your desk with an iPhone in front of you, to Hololive's $20 million 3d studio.
The main difference to 3d motion tracking in movies is this is all (or at least mostly) done live. Posted by: Pixy Misa at October 26, 2024 04:28 AM (BLOW1) 16
Thanks for the explanation. We take for granted the incredible computational power involved in something like these animations.

Trump has to meet a very high bar to rule as our most authoritarian President ever. If he sends an ethnic minority to internment camps, tries to pack the Court, and stays in office for four terms, he’ll still only be tied. Posted by: andycanuck (hovnC) at October 26, 2024 05:42 AM (hovnC) 71
I have been reading the comments for the Trump/Rogan video. They are coming in from all over the world and they are remarkably and consistently favorable to President Trump. The MSM is having a collective headache about this. This video just eclipse their playing gatekeepers. This video seems to be something of a watershed moment in presidential politics and the media.

Trump on Rogan is very good. They had to raise the alarms against Trump to millions of decibels just to stop people from hearing him or forming their own opinions about him. I watched it happen. Going back to 2015. I documented it here.
None of the traditional attacks worked, then the non-traditional attacks didn't work, then the really offensive impossible stuff didn't work, so then they quickly moved to what we've been experiencing for a decade which basically amounts to just constant screaming. People mistake it as being because they "hate" Trump but it's really because they needed to shut him up. And by shut him up I mean color everything he says so people tune it out or get influenced not to listen. The guy is a force of nature. Going on Rogan a week before the election is genius. I will keep saying that if he is allowed to win and I'm not sure he will be, they have something in the can so big and ridiculous and planned that it will be the only thing talked about every day just like Russia, then impeachment, then covid was. I don't know what it will be but I have my suspicions. They cannot let Trump assume power *and* control of any portion of narrative. Posted by: ... at October 26, 2024 05:43 AM (lX8VI) 73

I am gonna be straight up honest, Greek food is not as good as Italian food. That is no great shame there are only a handful of great international cuisines. Some might quibble with my list but I did not make it. I do basically agree with it obviously. The great world cuisines are the ones people from other countries make an effort to eat on a regular basis. For example you might love Canadian food, but no one in Bangladesh is taking his date to a Canadian restaurant.
So the great world cuisines are Chinese, French, Italian, and Mexican. I expect blowback so I will throw in Japanese and Indian as also rans. If I had one thing throw in I like it would be Lebanese. Outside of that I think the list is tight. Posted by: Quint at October 26, 2024 07:35 AM (RZ77V) 188

Trump has to meet a very high bar to rule as our most authoritarian President ever. If he sends an ethnic minority to internment camps, tries to pack the Court, and stays in office for four terms, he’ll still only be tied. Posted by: andycanuck (hovnC) at October 26, 2024 *** Tied w/ Joey MushBrain's handlers, no doubt. These people can't count. Trump is, what, 78? He wouldn't live to see even twelve more years as President. (Though knowing what a force of nature he is, he might!) Unless this clown means four years more of Trump, then eight of Vance -- but he doesn't say that. Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at October 26, 2024 05:55 AM (omVj0) No, Vermeule is alluding to Pres. Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

Trump has to meet a very high bar to rule as our most authoritarian President ever. If he sends an ethnic minority to internment camps, tries to pack the Court, and stays in office for four terms, he’ll still only be tied. Posted by: andycanuck (hovnC) at October 26, 2024 . . .

I think for some weird reason people sleep a lot of Mexican food. And I am not afraid to be controversial because I think Mexican food is way better than the rest of Latin America. The Mexicans had the influence of the Germans, the French, etc.
Are used to think when I first learned this list many years ago the Chinese was simple because it would just take out. It turns out that Chinese may be the most cuisine ever. The poor people never get it. French went out of style back in the 1980s in America. From our founding to the 1980s, anyone would tell you that French was best. The world that surprised me on the list was Chinese, but the more I thought about it, was right. Posted by: Quint at October 26, 2024 07:54 AM (RZ77V) 217

266, and our fast food for sure. France is just one example, but that country is easily one of the two or three top countries for McDonald’s. An argument can be made for American food, but it is much more difficult to classify.
Even with all the discussion which I love, I stand by my list that Chinese, French, Italian, and Mexican Or the top four world cuisines. As many of said here, you can get crap from a restaurant and really good stuff in a home. You can get really good stuff in a Russian home if the lady knows how to cook. You can also get great Russian food in a really good restaurant, I have tried some of their recipes and they are brilliant. But the four I mentioned our cuisines people eat all over the world all the time. In any legitimate country, you will have restaurants that serve those four cuisines. I am not saying they are necessarily better though they kind of are because they did it first. Also, all four of those countries are foodie countries. I don’t want to crap on Latin America, but just as an example, considering the immigration to this country, There is a huge difference from authentic Mexican and Latin American. The second cuisine can be great I Posted by: Quint at October 26, 2024 08:44 AM (RZ77V) 278

Jeff Bezos personally intervened to stop The Washington Post from endorsing a candidate, after the editorial board had drafted their endorsement for Harris. The paper's page editor David Shipley had already approved an endorsement of Harris and had reportedly told colleagues that it was being reviewed by the paper's owner Jeff Bezos, according to NPR. The Washington Post has itself reported that the decision was down to Jeff Bezos. It marks the first time the paper hasn’t endorsed a candidate in 36 years. Source: NPR Corey A.

Bravery is being part crazy, yes. I met a MOH recipient once. A corpsman. He was in a bomb crater in VN trying to keep 5 wounded alive for another 5 minutes. A grenade got lobbed in the crater. He jumped on the grenade and held it to his belly. 5 guys (who lived to tell) saw it all happen. The grenade did not explode. He said himself that he was certifiably crazy to have done that, in retrospect. No rational person would have done it. Posted by: gourmand du jour at October 25, 2024 08:48 PM (MeG8a) 73

“Mairzy Doats” is a novelty song written and composed in 1943 by Milton Drake, Al Hoffman, and Jerry Livingston. It contains lyrics that make no sense as written, but are near homophones of meaningful phrases. The song's title, for example, is a homophone of "Mares eat oats". The song's refrain, as written on the sheet music, seems meaningless: Mairzy doats and dozy doats and liddle lamzy divey A kiddley divey too, wouldn't you? However, the lyrics of the bridge provide a clue: If the words sound queer and funny to your ear, a little bit jumbled and jivey, Sing "Mares eat oats and does eat oats and little lambs eat ivy." This hint allows the ear to translate the final line as "a kid'll eat ivy, too; wouldn't you?"

Willie Nelson has virtually no voice anymore. He makes Springsteen sound like Pavorotti. He whispers his songs now. His fan base are um mature adults, who , like me, cringe at the cracking , hoarse sound coming out of the voice box. Endorsing Kamala is just his contrary schtick, that somehow, he’s sticking it to the man.

The last thing Harris needs is MORE Israeli war action in the Middle East.

Israel Defense Forces @IDF 24m
In response to months of continuous attacks from the regime in Iran against the State of Israel—right now the Israel Defense Forces is conducting precise strikes on military targets in Iran. The regime in Iran and its proxies in the region have been relentlessly attacking Israel since October 7th—on seven fronts—including direct attacks from Iranian soil. Like every other sovereign country in the world, the State of Israel has the right and the duty to respond. Our defensive and offensive capabilities are fully mobilized. We will do whatever necessary to defend the State of Israel and the people of Israel. === text of video link Posted by: andycanuck (hovnC) at October 25, 2024 08:00 PM (hovnC) 29

Good! Russia-Iran Axis needs to be resisted. Whether it’s the Iran-backed Hezbollah or the Russia-backed Houthis, it’s a campaign of terror by these two. Well timed by Bibi. That SOB will do whatever he can to hand this election to his orange clone. Precise attacks just like in Gaza I'm sure. Bibi sucks F__k! Need serious diplomatic responses. January 1st is coming... will the Doomsday Clock inch forward? Every New Year the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists update their Doomsday Clock Between the proxy war in Europe... and the burning Middle East... sure looks like it. Why did Trump quit the nuclear treaty that Obama implemented with Iran? Seems like Trump allowed Iran to develop their nuclear capability. Why? Did Putin ask him nicely?

Earlier:
Israel Defense Forces @IDF 12h ⭕️The IDF struck Hezbollah terrorist infrastructure sites in the Jousieh border crossing the northern Beqaa area overnight, using precision munitions to minimize harm to uninvolved civilians. Hezbollah exploits the Jousieh civilian crossing, which is under the control of the Syrian regime and is operated by Syrian military security, to transfer weapons from Syria to Lebanon by Hezbollah’s 4400 Unit and carry out numerous terrorist operations against Israeli civilians and IDF troops. The IDF will continue to operate to thwart Hezbollah’s weapons transfers and urges Syrian and Lebanese authorities to prevent the Hezbollah terrorist organization's unrestricted movement between the two countries.

This appears to have been a Very Limited Response by Israel against Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Sites located around the Iranian Capital of Tehran, we likely won’t know the Extent of the Damage until Daylight, but it sounds as through a Surface-to-Air Missile Site as well as an Airbase near Tehran were some of the Targets. OSINTdefender @sentdefender 8m Two Arab Sources have told NBC News that it appears an Initial Strike by Israel against the Iranian Capital of Tehran, has Targeted a Barracks or Office and a Weapons Depot of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). https://is.gd/kI8xGK photo OSINTdefender @sentdefender 3m The Fars News Agency is reporting that Iranian Military Base to the West and Southwest of Tehran have been Targeted by Israeli Strikes, with Air Defenses claimed to have been Active attempting to Intercept the Attacks.

Strikes in Iraq likely against Iran-backed militia, including one that has been launching drones against Israel (with limited success). They usually take a western then southern route and come up at Eilat. Though they have also launched more westerly and entered Israel via the Golan.

By substantially defanging Hezbollah already, Israel definitely retains the initiative here. Hezbollah was Iran's key proxy, their ace - Israeli strikes on the homeland were assumed to be deterred by the potential for massive heavy rocket strikes from Lebanon. That threat isn't eliminated, but by what can be seen it looks like it's been greatly diminished.
This leaves Iran very exposed to a vastly superior, better organized Israel, which also has an enormous intelligence advantage, as emphasized by recent operations. Posted by: rhomboid at October 25, 2024 08:26 PM (GcNJ2) 212

As others have said, don't assume this is it. Also, "it" will likely include sabotage and non-kinetic attacks (i.e. not by aircraft or missiles).
The Iranian regime has been fulminating in its typical way for weeks about the brutal response they would make to any attacks. Actually, they've clumsily signaled weakness, as they often do, by differentiating between different kinds of Israel strikes and the response they would generate. I don't think Israeli leadership actually for a second uses the ridiculous false framework of "escalation", "proportionality", etc. They've been developing strike plans for a decade or more and are working their plan, or some parts of it.

And let it be, when thou hearest the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself: for then shall the Lord go out before thee, to smite the host of the Philistines. And David did so, as the Lord had commanded him; and smote the Philistines from Geba until thou come to Gazer. Posted by: LinusVanPelt at October 25, 2024 08:37 PM (ANuwa) 268

One question is whether Iran's "response"* to all this might actually reinforce their collapsing image and credibility, which have been plunging since Israel has dismantled both Hamas and their main proxy asset Hezbollah with Iran standing by with its privates in its hands (essentially).
And don't forget the many senior IRGC mooks Israel has iced the last few months, both in Lebanon and Syria (including fairly audacious hits in Damascus). If Iran's last missile fest was any indication - and they may well not be able even to match that, in volume, this time - their response could easily further reinforce their "weak horse" image. * any framework using "retaliation" or even the concept in this context is silly, this is an ongoing war that has just reached a higher level of intensity Posted by: rhomboid at October 25, 2024 09:11 PM (GcNJ2) 330

Posted by: Alana at October 26, 2024 01:46 PM (jkd8y) Fifth Circuit: Only Ballots Received by Election Day May Be Counted; It Is Illegal and Unconstitutional To Count "Votes" Recieved After Election DayThe left has been fighting to count votes received four or five or more days after the constitutionally-specified election day. This appeals court covers Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. It doesn't cover that state I mentioned the other day that will count votes four days after the election. However, this ruling could cause other courts to adopt this rule, or the Supreme Court to impose it on them. The below tweet is incorrect -- a circuit appeals court's decision is only binding on the jurisdictions of the circuit. Sometimes a rinky-dink trail court judge will claim a decision binds the entire nation everywhere. We call those "Hawaiian judges." I've noticed a lot of those decisions get vacated.We'll have to see. There aren't many days left for litigation!

Unless SCOTUS jumps in with an emergency stay this is going to stand for at least the next few weeks. There is literally no time for a full hearing by the 5th circuit court before election day and no other court has any cases before them to make a contrary ruling. Problem is, the left has shown they are more than willing to ignore any court ruling they do not agree with. Posted by: Mister Scott (Formerly GWS) at October 25, 2024 07:03 PM (QNSds) 44

Until a few years ago, Oregon had mail order voting, but ballots had to be in the hands of elections officials by 8 PM on Election Day, not just in the mail.
Now, Oregon has joined Washington in saying that they will count all ballots merely postmarked by 8 PM on Election Day, so ballots can keep being received for a week or so after the election. Remarkably in both Oregon and Washington, ballots received after Election Day break very, very sharply to the Left. It's the strangest thing.

Who "controls" the Post Office, the postmaster General?
is it an Executive Branch agency? I know this is wish casting, but could you just decree that the US Mail is not allowed to handle voting ballots anymore? I mean, we have "Registered Mail" because even the Post Office is admitting, the mail isn't all that secure. You would be stupid to send cash in the mail, but our whole democracy is basically in the hands of a joke of a government agency that was never equipped to handle voting ballots or have a secure chain of custody.

Brenden Dilley @WarlordDilley 9h
You're going to hear from many political experts, pundits, and pollsters telling you why President Trump is surging and going to win. None are going to give you the raw, simple truth. After Biden and Kamala's record inflation, the message needed for Trump to win became very simple. Yes, the policy positions are huge, but those weren't what was going to make or break Trump. The number one objective was to allow the public to see Donald Trump through a different lens and remove the fear that the media had instilled in voters over the course of the previous 8 years. If you want to know what's at the foundation of "Trump Derangement Syndrome," it's fear. This one emotion is responsible for 90% of the affliction. Scared people aren't rational or logical. They're terrified and consumed by their fear. Thus, the single objective was to remove the fear from enough Americans regarding Trump "the man" to allow them a pathway psychologically away from fear. How do you accomplish this? Posted by: andycanuck (hovnC) at October 25, 2024 07:07 PM (hovnC) 65

Brenden Dilley @WarlordDilley 9h
Firstly, you meme him relentlessly as lovable characters whom Americans identify with. Over and over again, you reinforce the grandfather, father, husband, and friend, aspect of Trump. Simultaneously, as you build this image through video, pictures and music, you reinforce the reality of this by having President Trump make appearances at small businesses all across America, and allow normal voters access to him. Dictators and tyrants don't allow ordinary citizens access to them. They don't invite normal people to their homes for events, and they don't give them access to photo opportunities and random run-ins at campaign events. The last two+ years have been about teaching the public about Trump the man, while allowing this American legend to get comfortable allowing the people to see him vulnerable and kind. Once these two objectives were accomplished, the media stranglehold on the public was broken. If you ever wonder why I respond so poorly to people black pilling and pushing doom porn, the above is why. Fear is contagious, debilitating, and highly inaccurate. It's also limiting and is the root cause of most failure feedback loops. Posted by: andycanuck (hovnC) at October 25, 2024 07:08 PM (hovnC) 67

The solution to fear is action. When we take action, we're no longer slaves to the fantasy of fear. Donald Trump is just a man. He is flawed like anyone else. However, he is quite literally a living legend that is leading the entire country out of decades of darkness. Vote Trump and give America a chance to flourish.

sort of off topic, just noticed this at the althouse blog:
All this likening of Trump to Hitler has got me looking back to my 2011 posts, when Wisconsinites likened Governor Scott Walker to Hitler. From March 19, 2011: "Scott Walker is like Hitler because 'he doesn't do nice things'" (the quote is from a young protester, in a video interview by Meade). From February 17, 2011: "Scott Walker compared to Hitler" (with video of Meade questioning a woman who is carrying a sign portraying showing Walker with a Hitler mustache).

Statement On Lancaster: It’s been brought to my attention that Lancaster County has uncovered a voter registration fraud operation. According to the report, the majority of those 2,500 voter registration applications were turned in at or near the deadline & are dated August 15th. I can unequivocally state that this has nothing to do with @EarlyVoteAction. Our staff turn in voter registration forms as we register voters. The most forms we’ve ever turned in at one time was 400 in Luzerne County — right before we flipped it from 🔵 🔜 🔴. At a recent Luzerne County BOE meeting, the manager revealed that an individual turned in a large quantity of forms on the deadline that were dated back to June. This had no connection to @EarlyVoteAction, either. (This batch should also be reviewed.) I’m proud that our organization has registered tens of thousands of new Pennsylvania voters this cycle.

ThePersistence @ScottPresler 4h
The reason why democrats are attacking us is because we’re effective. They’re also attacking us because their voter registration advantage is the lowest it’s been in 50 years & their mail-in ballot “firewall” is severely lagging. Furthermore, we’ve made a concerted effort to register the Amish to vote in Lancaster — a group that democrat Governor Shapiro & the Dept. of Agriculture is waging a war against. We look forward to hearing the results of this investigation & who is responsible. Personally, I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a democrat organization. In the meantime, vote, vote early, vote by mail, & let’s deliver Pennsylvania for Donald Trump. Posted by: andycanuck (hovnC) at October 25, 2024 07:21 PM (hovnC) 133

As the governing body of the Postal Service, the 11-member Board of Governors has responsibilities comparable to the board of directors of a publicly held corporation. The Board includes nine Governors appointed by the President of the United States with the advice and consent of the Senate. (about usps com/who/leadership/board governors/ - insert two dots and then one dash after the word "board") The Executive Leadership Team contains the Postmaster General & 10 executives.

A propane type torch maybe. As a field Expedient, Pizza is worth it. Maybe a Heat Gun. Dutch oven recipes revolve around “17 briquettes on top, 9 on the bottom” stuff like that.

--------- I'm curious about the rationale for needing to accept ballots that are days late (if one was even given). Does this tie into the racist trope that black people are too stupid to get a government ID? Are black people also considered by the left to be too stupid to find a mailbox so that they can submit a timely ballot?

I am going to disagree with you. Within a HOA there is talent enough to get rid of the management company. They exist to do minor tasks and sit on the money. Money in the management company's hands is their goal. I was President of a Reston, VA HOA (Control freak central) and ran it in such a way that the residents had low dues, less hassle, and the good stuff like trash, street lights, paving, was done. For 5 terms totaling 10 years. It was relaxation for me. Not a lot of rebellion or grumbling from the residents, as I loved to explain why the actions taken were decided on.

I'm curious about the rationale for needing to accept ballots that are days late (if one was even given). Does this tie into the racist trope that black people are too stupid to get a government ID?
Are black people also considered by the left to be too stupid to find a mailbox so that they can submit a timely ballot? The contempt that the Dems have for blacks on their plantation knows no bounds. Posted by: Cicero (@cicero43) at October 25, 2024 07:27 PM All of the arguments that I have seen in regards to counting ballots received after election day or ballots not being correctly filled out have centered around the argument that blacks and hispanics are too stupid to fill out their ballots correctly and mailing them on time. And no I am not making that up. Posted by: Mister Scott (Formerly GWS) at October 25, 2024 07:32 PM (QNSds) 185

I'm curious about the rationale for needing to accept ballots that are days late (if one was even given).
Posted by: Cicero ---------- The rational is that some people mail it on election day, so it does not arrive until a few days later. There is also a concern that the postal service is not up to the task of delivering intracity mail in less than 2 weeks. The real reason is that they understand that if an election is close, Dems have the ability to harvest as many votes as are needed. Also they do "curing" where they correct any ballots that have improper ID, etc. and they want to do this as long as it takes for a Dem win. The main goal though is chaos enable fraud.

Recall the contested Florida vote count during the Bush v Gore election. Prior to the actual election date, the Florida branch of the DNC sent out letters to their minions in charge of certifying local voter eligibility. Instructing them to use that power to reject ALL vote by mail votes received without postmarks under the argument that lacking such proof, even if they arrived before Election Day that was no legal proof they were mailed by/before Election Day.
Only problem is, there is one voting bloc which does vote by mail WITHOUT dated postmarks. Military voters posted overseas. Free mail, you see, granted by congress. Which voting bloc historically votes more (R) than (D). So..... the letters asked their minions to reject as "too late" any votes Florida received from military voters from overseas hardship posts.... or from gallifrian Timelords. Now... technically..... this was following the Letter Of The Law. however legal precedent was to count those votes and not disenfranchise Florida military voters. The majority of the (D) minions ignored the instructions. Count Every Vote - unless it's a likely not Hillary vote it seems. Posted by: BobM at October 25, 2024 07:42 PM (7tkrG) 240

Posted by: jsg ------------------ What a waste of a holiday. So which is it, all mail in (so no need to take a day off,) or you take a day off? I am against a holiday because we have to get back to basics with very very localized voting. Assigned precincts/stations that are so local everyone can stop by on their way to or from work. Or for lunch for those that work near home. Our main problem is that we centralized and stretched out voting so that there is no real oversight. The ballots should be secure and under eyes from the time it leaves the voter's hands, until it is counted (also under public view, usually in the form of "watchers" designated by the parties.) Mail-in hands the security to the postal workers - big mistake. Extended voting hands security to gov. employees. - bigger mistake. Centralized vote counting hands security to big city machine - biggest mistake. Posted by: Gentlemen, this is junta manifest at October 25, 2024 07:45 PM (NEl9E) 251

First kind of bad news about the attack, IDF spokesman specified "military targets" in his announcement. Economic and political targets aplenty, and impact of hitting them likely far greater. More buck for the bang, so to speak. But they've gamed this out ad nauseam and presumably know what they're doing.
Other troubling hint is a statement by some official that Lebanon operation could be wrapped up in a week (!!!). It's up to the Israeli leadership whether they want to guarantee more years (decades?) of problems in the north, or take more decisive steps now.

Posted by: The Brown Gargantua at October 27, 2024 12:55 AM (6Pbps) The UK Just Arrested Someone for Praying SilentlyRussia is our enemy because they're anti-freedom and interfere in our elections, huh? What about the UK?She Was Arrested for Praying in Her Head Citizens in the UK have been arrested, prosecuted, and convicted for silently praying outside abortion clinics. Even organizing pro-life meetings in your own home may be a criminal offense. By Madeleine Kearns October 24, 2024 Emma has strong feelings about abortion: She wears T-shirts that say things like "Pro-life and Proud." A devout Catholic, she is a trustee of a pro-life activism group and regularly holds planning meetings at her flat in Edinburgh, Scotland. On her way to work at an office in the center of town, the 24-year-old passes the abortion facility at nearby Chalmers Hospital. Sometimes, she prays with rosary beads as she walks by. But now she's worried she could get arrested in her neighborhood--for wearing that T-shirt, for holding those meetings, or even for praying in her head. On October 4, Emma, who asked not to be named, got a letter from the Scottish government. Addressed "Dear Resident," its purpose was to alert her that her home, due to its proximity to the hospital, is now in an abortion censorship zone. This is due to the UK's brand-new "Safe Access" law, which came into effect September 24 and made it a criminal offense to do anything within 200 meters of an abortion facility that could "influence" someone's decision to access, provide, or facilitate an abortion. In the Scottish government's letter, Emma read that even "activities in a private place (such as a house) within the area could be an offence if they can be seen or heard within the Zone and are done intentionally or recklessly." "You can report a group or an individual that you think is breaking the law," the letter added, before providing instructions on how to do so. Emma couldn't believe her eyes. The law carries a maximum fine of £10,000 (over $13,000). In June, it passed in The Scottish Parliament by 118 votes to one, following in the footsteps of Northern Ireland, which became the first country in the UK to enforce abortion censorship legislation last year. The rest of the UK is doing the same: On October 31, a similar law will come into effect in England and Wales; it was passed by Parliament in 2023. In these countries, the fine will be unlimited. All of this legislation codifies--on a national level--a trend that has been creeping across the UK for a decade. Ten years ago, in 2014, Parliament empowered local councils to create and police their own antisocial behavior laws. The intention was to enhance "the professional capabilities and integrity of the police." But since 2018, five UK districts have used these powers to aggressively limit what people can do, say, and even think, near abortion clinics. I spoke to four people who have fallen afoul of these restrictions, and a disturbing pattern emerged. In November 2022, Adam Smith-Connor, now 51, a physiotherapist and veteran, was interrogated by local authorities in Bournemouth, on the south coast of England, which had recently introduced an abortion censorship zone. His alleged crime was silently praying for three minutes while 50 meters from an abortion clinic. When council officers asked, "What is the nature of your prayer?" he replied: "I am praying for my son who is deceased," referring to his unborn child that he and his then-girlfriend decided to abort two decades ago.Related: Kamala called for abortion to be mandated across the US, with no exemptions for people of faith. In other words: Abortion is such a sacrament that nuns working in Catholic hospitals will be compelled to do Moloch's work.
And here's what I mean about the UK subverting what remains of our democracy: The British intelligence front group, the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), is a British and American funded effort to censor Americans, starting with Enemy Number One, Elon Musk. Oh, and they also ran "black ops" (as they themselves called them) against RFKJr. These are foreign nationals.
According to documents published in America by investigative reporters Paul D. Thacker and Matt Taibbi, "British advisers to Kamala Harris hope to 'kill [Elon] Musk's Twitter'", demonstrating that "England, not Russia, is the culprit in a real foreign election interference story." They aren't referring to the British Labour volunteers said to be assisting the Democratic candidate's presidential bid, but instead to the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH), a pro-censorship charity and campaign group co-founded in 2018 by Keir Starmer's Chief of Staff, Morgan McSweeney. The political advisor is here ascribed quasi-magical powers, such that "no political operative in the Western hemisphere is more in demand than Starmer's 'Rasputin', regularly hailed as a genius." To British eyes, that and other claims in the article -- including that Starmer's election victory "relied heavily" on the CCDH -- look overblown. The organisation played no discernible part in Labour's campaign, while McSweeney stepped down as a CCDH director on 6 April 2020, two days after Starmer became leader of the Labour Party. But in a recent and thus far unpublished conversation with me, Imran Ahmed, a former Parliamentary aide who also co-founded the CCDH and serves as its chief executive, said a number of things that free speech advocates less radical than Elon Musk may find worrying. He spoke of his "five-year plan" to make social media platforms "accountable" for their content, and to make it impossible for anyone to generate revenue from what the CCDH classes as "hate speech". By this term, Ahmed doesn't just mean overt expressions of racism or other prejudices, but rather what he calls "lies" and "disinformation". In his view, "lies and hate are inextricably linked." What's more, a glance at the CCDH website will confirm that its definition of lies is unusually expansive. It includes, for example, "the new climate denial" -- not denial per se of the proposition that human beings and the greenhouse gases we emit cause global warming, but challenges to Government policies that are supposedly going to fix it. According to Ahmed and the CCDH, these "lies" are "welcomed, enabled, and often funded by oil and gas tycoons", and thus undermine "the politicians doing the hard work to green our economic models and incentives". ... Thacker and Taibbi's smoking gun was a set of leaked CCDH documents suggesting that "killing" Twitter/X really is high on its agenda, and has been for months. In April, a US federal judge dismissed a lawsuit Musk brought against the CCDH for supposedly costing it tens of millions of dollars in revenue after it exposed alleged "lies and misinformation" on X. This -- with no irony intended -- Ahmed portrayed as a famous victory for free speech. When the CCDH was founded, Ahmed told me, few people took social media content seriously. Speaking of the spread of antisemitism, especially since the Hamas attack on Israel in October last year, he said it was now evident we had entered a "nuclear age of disinformation and hate". ....I have long been an Anglophile, but I ask the question again, seriously: Why are we willing to risk a nuclear war with Russia for spending $150,000 on FaceBook ads, when a British intelligence front group is working to suppress Americans' most basic freedom? Maybe we should start thinking about a new enemy. If the warmongers will always demand we declare some country an enemy and escalate against it, why not the UK? Meanwhile, Microsoft has a new "expert" advising it on "disinformation:" The grifter and anti-speech zealot who branded, WITHOUT EVIDENCE, thousands of Americans a "Russian agents" and pressured Twitter and the other social media companies to ban them. His claims were so extravagant and flimsy that even Twitter's old, leftwing "Safety" commissars branded them as specious and told people in the media (who were taking his claims and then pressuring Twitter to do his bidding) to stop listening to him.

found it ! "The three-judge panel of the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday reversed a July decision by U.S. District Judge Louis Guirola Jr., who had dismissed challenges to Mississippi’s election law by the Republican National Committee, the Libertarian Party of Mississippi and others. The appeals court order sent the case back to Guirola for further action, but the issue may wind up at the Supreme Court."

Frankly, for all we praise nationalism, it's not an appropriate framework for the main struggles of our time. The lines are drawn within nations. With very few exceptions they are all facing the same threats, often from their governments, that we are.
Britain's Reform party, and very few of the Conservatives, are fairly sound. As are Le Pen's National Front. Poilevre's Canadian Tories. And many others. But if you are looking for actual allies, actual countries whose governments we can support, there are very few. Hungary, of course, and Argentina. Even Israel has too damned many wets and socialists (why won't they give Bibi a decent majority.) Posted by: Eeyore at October 25, 2024 06:13 PM (1bNHn) 61

It's like I'm invisible. I've been saying forever that the reason Fauci was the highest paid civil servant in the entire government is because he had multiple jobs. He was at NIH and the DOD/CIA since right after 9/11. He wasn't just in charge of coming up with health policy he was in charge of creating viruses and he got that second job from Dick Cheney.

First, it looks like a hollywood PR red carpet backstage photo-op setting. And then it becomes extremely Uncomfortable for everyone involved as Emma Emhoff pretends she's a girl who might someday like to have an abortion. She dressed like and sounded like a 16 yr old boy out with his two "dads." There is no way emma emhoof will ever be pregnant. She is obviously asexual or an incel dyke. Secondly, this was intended as an appeal to men, fathers of daughters in particular. Everyone on that video looked and sounded like a beta homosexual.

This is still a thing that bothers me about Trump. You could build a orchestra with the number of sheer hateful creeps from Cohan and before who can't wait to turn on the Donald in New York and through his administration.
I sincerely hope he wins but he needs a H.R. director and a staff that communicates openly and a leader who delegates responsively instead of arbitrarily. Posted by: Auspex You know those backstabbing people on the HOA board? If they are very good at that, they end up on the county commission.

Good to see Springsteen still sucks. As per Kelly? Having worked for DoD in various capacities over the past 20 years, most people who have stars on their shoulders, well suck as leaders. Why anyone would serve today, is a head scratcher. If the Trumper wins, all FOGOs need to be fired. Most of these "officers" just plain suck. When was the last time the US Military won a war? WWIi in the Pacific. If it won in Desert Storm, then why did it have to go back 12 years later and still there?

Axios, via Instapundit when John Kelly first started:
August 2, 2017 CHANGE: John Kelly closes the Oval Office door. Gen. John Kelly, the new White House chief of staff, has taken control in dramatic fashion, and is already imposing unmistakable signs of order after just a few days on the job: Even POTUS appears to be trying to impress his four-star handler, picking up his game by acting sharper in meetings and even rattling off stats. Meetings, which under Reince Priebus were meandering, are shorter and stick to their scheduled topic. Reince was a wallflower; Kelly moderates and is clearly in charge. Everyone — even uber-aides Jared and Ivanka, and economic adviser Gary Cohn — is being deferential to Kelly. Posted by: KT at October 25, 2024 05:26 PM (xekrU) 78

Cynical Publius Oct 2023:
https://x.com/CynicalPublius/status/1709275268672799156 So John Kelly is out smearing Trump saying Trump hates the military. Allow me to first establish my bona fides: 22 year Army vet, retired officer, 3 combat tours, 60% disabled per the VA. Having established who I am, I believe Kelly is lying (he is a Milley buddy after all), but even if what he said is true, I don't care. I'll tell you why. Rhetoric is one thing, action is another. Let me tell you about Trump's ACTIONS while in office: 1. Trump did not start another useless, endless war. 2. Trump did not throw away the sacrifices of our military in those already-existing useless, endless wars. 3. Trump alienated all of the architects of those useless, endless wars. 4. Trump did not treat the military as a political pawn. 5. Trump focused on the one true vulnerability of our national defense -- the invasion across our Southern Border. . .

Three days before the election he told his son and close campaign staff that he was going to lose. When he won he had no idea what to do because he and the people around him had not starting any sort of vetting process for his inner circle which should have been done months before the election. He had to compress a process that normally evolved over six months into less than two months and he made some horrible picks. I suspect he has already fixed that problem this time around.

124 Trump briefly, had a Virginia rally on his website. They quickly took it down. My guess is that they are going to do a Virginia New Hampshire, Minnesota, New Mexico swing in the last week. Of course, since he does multiple events a day, he will pepper in the traditional states as well.
My guess is he will end in Pennsylvania.

>>I don't expect he is or will be; however, I suspect the political realignment he's driven has created the conditions to make the necessary changes.
I'm a bit mystified at how people don't think Trump can be brutal. He absolutely wages war on any politician who he runs against. He doesn't just beat them he goes after them so hard supporters of his opponents often refuse to support him, until they ultimately do. The man told the mullah running Afghanistan if he harmed a single American after they made a deal to have America withdraw from that shit hole he would end him and then handed him a picture of his house. Nobody died for 18 months. He ended the ISIS caliphate in a few months after we were told it was impossible by carpet bombing them back to Allah. He kept Xi and Putin in boxes because they were afraid he would go all Crazy Ivan on them. He gave us the most secure border since the BP has kept stats by threatening retaliation against Mexico. We haven't had a president as brutal as Trump in a very long time. That's one big reason the left fears and hates him. Posted by: JackStraw at October 25, 2024 05:44 PM (LkLld) 135

I think Trump's first term has to be taken in context. 2016 was the first time in the history of the country we didn't have a peaceful transfer of power. Think about that. They ran a color revolution against Trump that didn't end until he left office. It was one attack after another, from Russia to Ukraine to the virus. We've never seen a presidency like that. We've been living through an attempted communist takeover for more than 8 years. The entire government has been weaponized against us and only really became obvious when Trump did the impossible of beating Hillary. Then they went maximum overdrive. They tried to impeach him before he even took office and did take out Flynn. It's easy to see what should have been done now with the benefit of hindsight but there were even people here in early 2016 who thought Trump was a Russian asset.

Posted by: Gobba goo at October 25, 2024 07:00 PM (kGC7y) Halloween Movie ThreadI know I just did one of these. I saw House, from 1985 (or 1986 -- it was out in limited release December 1985, then full nationwide release February 1986), on Amazon Prime. With William "Greatest American Hero" Katt, George "Norm" Wendt, and Bull from "Night Court." I kind of loved it. It starts out as a sort of grounded, low-key, more serious movie. William Katt is a Vietnam vet troubled by nightmares about his time in the jungle. This is exacerbated by the fact he's chosen to right a memoir about his time in 'Nam, so he's dealing with those memories more than he ever has before. Don't worry, he's not the Hollywood stereotype "crazy vet" or dysfunctional. He's a successful author and has his act together. He just has nightmares and bad memories. What is making him a little crazy is that his young son disappeared without a trace when he was visiting his aunt's house under strange -- supernatural? -- circumstances. After his aunt's death, he moves into the house to write his book. And he starts seeing things.I have a good recommendation for a Halloween movie for a specific circumstance: When you're with a group of people looking to watch a Halloween movie together. Is it the best horror movie? No. Is it the scariest? No. Is it great? No. It's merely pretty good. But it's the best Halloween movie to watch with several friends, or your kids, as long as they're older than about 14. Have you got any RECCOMENDATIONZZZ for Halloween viewing? Here's some Bugs Bunny from a 1978 Halloween special. It's mostly a compilation of old monster-themed shorts. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

I knew the show had bitten the big one when even the Halloween Specials were crap when I tried watching them after I had stopped watching the regular weekly shows, hoping that they'd at least get it up for Halloween but alas no.

Not exactly Halloween ,but I did manage to watch Hannibal. Ridley Scott is a great filmmaker, and creates visually stunning masterpieces, as in this case. There is a sequence in the beginning when Lecter is mailing a letter -watch it. The script was meh. The best scenes are with Gary Oldman's Verger.

I've never really liked House. It's too silly.
Trick r Treat is quite good. Other recs: Infinity Pool flew under the radar. It's kinda sci-fi, kinda horror. It's quite good. Possessor is another that flew under the radar that falls into the same category (kinda sci-fi, kinda horror). The Korean movie Exhuma is solid supernatural horror. In the last several years, there has been a lot of good foreign horror movies. Anti-rec: Bodies Bodies Bodies. Virtually all the characters are woke AF, and you'll hate them from start to finish.

I recommend Marianne on Netflix. It's a mini-series (8 1hr episodes IIRC). It is about a witch, so sort of connected to Halloween. Plenty of jump scares (small bit of nudity, some gore, so older teens and above only). Dubbing is ok, but can be watched in French (w/ or w/o subtitles depending)

Evil Dead 2 was just a remake of Evil Dead with a better budget, so it might have been what drove House. However, House seemed to me to be more driven by the special effects with the plot being put in to allow the SFX to be linked together in a story.
That might have been why it was a bit disjointed. Posted by: Kindltot at October 25, 2024 04:40 PM (D7oie) 162

I second the love for the original _House_ movie.
It's so wonderfully off-kilter. It's creepy and weird, and sometimes funny. It doesn't really explain what's going on in detail. Here's my head-canon: most of the time the house can't actually hurt you. It can only mess with your head. As evidence, when the protagonist interacts with the ghost of someone who died in the house, that ghost says "the house tricked me! It will trick you, too!" (But the young son really did disappear so I guess the house can sometimes have a real impact in the real world?) It also has a really satisfying ending.

"The Gate" weirdo movie about a kid opening up a portal in his back yard. "House" the Japanese one. Very odd, to say the least. "Night of the Demons" the trashy 80's one with Linnea Quigley.

There was a Spanish zombie movie set during the Spanish civil war called Valley of the Dead, which starts with a Nationalist officer and his convicted deserter driver being sent as a courier across partisan held land, where they first find murderous Germans where they shouldn't be, try to find a downed Italian pilot who was crop dusting blue powder, a Partisan Republican guerrilla band, and then discover that the whole valley is full of zombies created by the Germans as a weapon, and the only way out is through the Germans who are squatting on the only exit to the valley that isn't mobbed by the shambling undead.

Excision - 2012 - US with Ariel Winter, Traci Lords, Malcolm McDowell, Marlee Matlin and Ray Wise. Nice idea but horribly executed. MASH had scarier surgical scenes. 3 out of 10
The Inside - 2007 - France. 10 out of 10. Brutally relentless. Woman ready to give birth meets a woman with scissors. If you like Terrifier, check it out. Ichi the Killer - 2001 - Japan. 10 out of 10. A crime horror movie based on a manga. Beautifully filmed. Pretty bloody for a Japanese movie. Great effects. A crime boss goes missing. Audition - 1999 - Japan. 10 out of 10. Others here highly recommended it. Beautifully written and filmed. I loved the father - son relationship and the friendship between the guys. Got a bit weird but was still a great movie. All are on Tubi or Roku free.... Posted by: Stateless at October 25, 2024 04:55 PM (jvJvP) 252

The Haunting is a great haunted house movie. Maybe the best IMO. Robert Wise was the director.

The Hound of the Baskervilles with Peter Cushing as Holmes was pretty good as horror.

I am going back to the originals (well, '70s originals), many of which I never saw all the way through. Halloween, Friday 13th, Body Snatchers, Exorcist, that sort of thing. Posted by: Comrade Flounder, Disinformation Demon at October 25, 2024 04:56 PM (BW/4L) 260

"House," which I found really enjoyable, was directed by Steve Miner.
Steve Miner directed the second and third installments of "Friday the 13th" and STILL managed to destroy the continuity between both the first and the second AND the second and the third. "House 2", which is not as good, was directed by the writer of "House", Ethan Wiley. It has John Ratzenberger in it instead of George Wendt, which mae me wonder if they would go through the whole "Cheers" cast. "House III: The Horror Show" was not a sequel in any way I can determine. William Katt returns for "House IV", briefly, which has only the lovely Terri Treas and her two enormous talents to boast. And those talents are mostly covered.

Am I the only one that has zero interest in horror?
Posted by: The Central Scrutinizer The weird thing about "horror" as a genre is that it has so many subgenres that are not really closely related to each other: ghost stories (e.g., The Uninvited); mad scientist stuff (e.g., Frankenstein); Undead and zombie stuff (e.g., Dracula, Night of the Living Dead); Monster movies (e.g., King Kong, Godzilla); Aliens (e.g., The Day the Earth Stood Still0: Slasher flicks (e.g., Friday the 13th). And others that I'm forgetting right now. Posted by: Bulgaroctonus at October 25, 2024 04:58 PM (v6JzV) 265

Just setting aside film quality, I'm thinking what are the actual "most scary" movies you've ever seen.
I still think "The Exorcist" is at the top, just because I actually do believe in it. Hereditary was also up there, disturbing and scary. Posted by: Blago at October 25, 2024 04:59 PM (x4HYe) 271

My mom loved Halloween and Christmas. When she worked with pre-schools she grew pumpkins to carve for the classrooms. I wish I had a bit more of her inner kid enjoyment of these holidays, but its not something I stamped out because "have to be adult" it is just not there for me.

The Hammer Studios movie The Devil Rides Out is a great movie. It was released as The Devil’s Bride in the USA. Christopher Lee gets to play the good guy for once. Yeah the effects can be very cheesy but the scene with Charles Gray taking over a woman’s mind that is the definition of suspense.

The Hammer girls were hot, no question. Right before the lockdowns I saw King Kong and was struck by how gorgeous Wray was in it. You can't tell on a 9" tube TV, but on the big screen?

I can't believe no one has mentioned the scariest movie ever among those set on Halloween - "The Hollywood Knights". I can't say whether the one-armed violinist, the spiked punch, or the naked crackers dumped in Watts is the scariest part for me.

I haven’t seen House since it came out on VHS, which hints at how old I am… I am now planning on watching it again.
Trick R Treat was amusing and a fun way to spend an evening. If you have a strong stomach, the first two Terrifier movies are WAY over the top, and the third is good as well, as long as kids in peril doesn’t bother you too much, especially because good old Art the Clown lets you know in the first five minutes that all bets are off. And if you can find a production near you, Evil Dead the Musical is absolutely bug fuck nuts. I saw a production a few years ago and it’s not a GOOD musical, but it’s not intended to be, which is what makes it a great time. Especially if the theater putting it on has a splatter zone. In that case, definitely sit in the splatter zone. Posted by: Misanthropic Misanthrope at October 25, 2024 10:02 PM (Y2NGV) Final NYT Poll: Tied Nationally.
