As part of my errands this am, I will stop at one of the "recall LaToya" locations in town and sign the petition. In fact I intend to say loudly, "How many times can I sign?" The damn arrogant woman needs to go, or at least to have fear of the voters driven into her.

G'day! Raining now on the Delmarva Peninsula, with the promise of intermittent rain throughout today and tomorrow, most of it from the remnant of Ian.

Daily Tech News 1 October 2022
Top Story
- Google Stadia's shutdown shocked developers too. (The Verge)
"I woke up getting ready for my workday, and I see on our Discord private chat for the company that one of my employees sent a message saying 'is this true?,' with a link," Rebecca Ann Heineman, CEO of Olde Skuul, said in an interview with The Verge. "I follow the link and it's like 'oh, okay.'" Olde Skuul had planned to launch Luxor Evolved on Stadia Pro on November 1st and was even planning to meet with Google on Friday to discuss the release plan. That obviously isn't happening now.
I feel bad for small developers who are looking for every avenue available to get games out there without going the gacha / loot box route or worse, NFTs, but if you didn't see this coming a mile away you have no business being in the industry.
- Google Stadia never mattered and it never had a chance. (The Verge)
That's more like it. Game streaming had its golden opportunity during the Wuhan Bat Soup Death Plague when everyone was at home and both consoles and graphics cards were all but impossible to buy, and it went nowhere. Now that that situation is over it's only going to get worse.
Google shut down its own game studio in February last year, which should have given everyone ample warning to take the money and run.
Tech News
- Intel's Arc graphics cards are in the hands of reviewers. (Tom's Hardware)
Earlier reviews of the low-end Arc A380 were not particularly favourable, but Intel has had a couple of months to fix driver bugs, plus these cards are four times as fast. That, coupled with Nvidia's stratospheric pricing push, might make for a more receptive audience this time around. We'll know within two weeks, but for now, the cards themselves at least appear to be well made.
- Ryzen 7000 CPUs - 7700X and up - from Microcenter come with a free 32GB DDR5 memory kit. (Tom's Hardware)
While stocks last.
Meanwhile the hosting provider that runs my big server has Ryzen 7000 servers in stock already. They're not especially cheap, but they range from 25% to 200% faster than the existing server.
Though it looks like Ryzen 7000 doesn't support ECC RAM. DDR5 RAM has on-die ECC by default so they're still viable for non-critical tasks, but it removes one of the advantages AMD had over Intel.
The other advantage AMD has is Intel's Efficiency cores, which just plain suck for servers - once you run out of Performance cores, additional thread will run at half speed.
- Update: I was wrong. Ryzen 7000 does - unofficially - support ECC, just the same as earlier desktop Ryzen chips. (Serve the Home)
Gigabyte already has a server motherboard out for Ryzen 7000, with built-in remote management and dual 10Gb Ethernet ports. It's not a high-end board, with two PCIe slots, one M.2, and four SATA ports, but with ECC support and a suitable disk controller card would make for a good storage server solution.
- Steampipe is a library that turns cloud APIs back into SQL queries. (Steampipe)
A lot of cloud APIs.
Weird but extremely useful if you just want to know, for example, how many of your Amazon Lambda functions are running on outdated versions of Python.
- If you're running Microsoft Exchange, unplug it right now. (Krebs on Security)
Sure, it won't work if you do that, but nobody will be able to send you emails complaining about it not working so what does it matter?

I think rtf is a go-to for people there as any kind of computer there is HIDEOUSLY expensive, comparatively, and getting worse. Monthly income is about USD$500/mo, and even a Chromebook is almost USD$3-400 due to taxes. So any kind of laptop is insanely pricey there. So people use whatever they can get and bootleg software; and rtf *will* mostly work across platforms, so maybe that's why everyone uses it.

-Game streaming. To me it just feels like I am renting a game.
-Mobile gaming. This one I hate but understand. Considering how many people are absolutely obsessed with their phones and how much ridiculous usage there is for mobile games, I understand developers making games for them, I just hate the idea of playing on a phone. My first computer monitor was 14". I don't wanna go back.

Google has cancelled the Mindful Webworks YouTube account for some unspecified violation of their policies or rules.
I've got hundreds (?) of videos of mine that no one ever sees, and playlists of my and others' videos, and a huge YouTube subscription list. I sure hope that's not all gone.
Why? F if I know. I don't do anything lately but watch videos; haven't uploaded any in a while. I very rarely even comment.
Write your congresscritter... no, visit your local Goolag YouTube store and register a complaint about the banning of ... somebody... who was it? Never mind. Here's a kitty vid!

Or Portland, where leftists are furious that the incredibly overstretched Portland cops don't respond when stuff gets stolen from their house, their car gets stolen, etc.
This proves two things to them:
1) That the cops are "on strike", because they're not responding to calls
and
2) This shows that Portland doesn't need police.

Workers in nuclear power plants are supposed to get considerably less than a rem's worth of radiation a year (a very low dose).

Very cool! I think there's some provision in the vanity call rules for cases like yours, where there's a family relationship between the applicant (you) and the previous holder of the call (Papa Basura), but I don't remember how it works. Maybe they waive the normal two year period that a call must be unassigned before it can be granted as a vanity call.

If the call is still "active" you have to provide proof of the claimed relationship and provide a death certificate. Papa Basura's call has been inactive since sometime in the late 1960's or early 1970's, so I may not have to jump through that particular hoop.

I do not understand that thing made in Italy.
I am not sure what that was flying overhead in the shoot and scoot vid. Was that a missile aimed at the tank? It looks like it would have missed anyway. Awful low though. I just don't understand.

The last time I went, the waiting room was separated from the area with the examination cubicles, with an armed guard at the door. When I needed to go back there to be with my 97 year old father, I had to get the guard to let me through. I don't even want to know what's been going on down there, that they need that kind of security.

In other words, if exercising your free speech gets you fired from your job, kicked out of your domicile, doxxed by Antifa, and shunned in society, well, you just have accept the consequences of excreting your free speech, and have no right to complain.

Once you get fairly proficient at crochet try knitting again. The handling of yarn and tension with crochet is a synergistic skill with knitting. I was WAAAkYY too tight starting with knitting. A couple years with crochet and it was a lot easier. Also try different needle material types. Wooden / bamboo is grippy and can help if you have issues where your tension is too loose. If you're too tight go with slicker metal types. Also look at learning the Continental "pick" technique vs. British "throw" method usually taught to beginners.
I really enjoy knitting and crochet. Great useful skills to learn.

I was once touring a nuclear power plant, looked down at the cooling pool, and went through the same calculation - that you would have to swim way, way down in the pool before you got a serious radiation dose.

No, I mean old. Not just a lot of miles on her. I mean like genuinely fucking old. She wore a thin low cut top, had a great rack, real no less, because when I left a tip on the bar she pulled her top down, stuck the bill in some water on the bar, and stuck the bill right to her tit like a pasty. That head was from a 70 year old stuck on a 20 year old body. Not that 70 is uber old, but not with a body like that, She was wearing shorts and those looked good too.

Forget his exact explanation, but basically, like soap operas, they get into it.
Going back to my high school years, kids on the street playing basketball, my good friend just couldn't miss his soap opera. idk ... weird, but it seems to be a more dominant part of (average?) human nature than "we the AoS Erudits" would hope for. (I don't remember the noun form of erudite, but maybe it is erudit?)
same with anime, but maybe I just don't comprehend the concept of living to attain some altered (physical) state. I certainly don't have IT all figured out, so maybe it is only about strange sex and altered state experiences ... and peyote? to reach the ultimate?
heh ... I'm trying to stick with the fundamentals, but also to build on them, instead of being stuck in "childish ways". But those with family and military experience, or whatever, probably have deeper enlightenment, in some ways at least. But every man is right in his own eyes .. that is as deep as I can get ... lol.

Sure, but the old "soap opera addiction" was expanded (by outside powers, controlling Hollywood and media) into coercive "brainwashing". So "we" need to recognize the psychological warfare tools of our enemy. This is not an easy task, especially as they have taken the High Hills of power (controlling all media and even the DoJ and FBI).
Limping along with those that succumbed? I get your point that we are all mortal, but we should resist with all our might. We are right, we are not the cripples, we are at war, and we are (mostly) the righteous ones. This makes us morally/spiritually Strong.

If you watch me at work in the field you'd think I was either an ENTP or ESFP depending on what the situation is.
I think Jung was a proponent of what has evolved into the 4 sides of the mind theorem concerning archetyping.
Your ego is your main type, there is the unconscious mind the esfp, the subnscious mind the entp, and the superego the ISFJ.....

The Mateba (semi) Automatic Revolver is made by Chiappa in Italy. Far as I know, it's always been an Italian product.
Where the Aussie thing figures into that meme, is beyond me. With it's low bore-axis and semi-auto cycling, the Mateba is a fun gun to shoot, but one of the last I'd ever rely on if TSHTF. The Webley-Fosbury was a proven Semi-Auto Revolver, save for it's anemic .455 round. But, it *worked*, and that, pretty damn reliably. The Mateba is more Gadget than Gun, but I still don't want one pointed at ME!

I wonder if there is any "granularity" to sunlight, or the Solar wind, or other emissions from the Sun.
Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at September 30, 2022 11:53 PM (n8uJ4)
Of course there is. The big discovery around 1900 is that light is quantized into particles, and you can't make one without the energy for it that is proportional to frequency.
Before that the classical math predicted that literally everything should be emitting infinite amounts of radiation since were more high frequency 'slots' than low frequency. But adding the particle with a minimum energy meant that these high energy photons were too costly to make and fitted the measurements perfectly.
Thus quantum mechanics and all that.

This fucktard seriously believes that the entire electric grid can be replaced with solar in two years.
Even if the storage problem were solved (it isn't) and the solar cells were free (they aren't), it'd be more like 20 years at least.
He got pissed off when I asked him how the juice was supposed to get from Snowflake's backyard solar panel to, say, an aluminum smelting plant without some type of grid.
I wish I'd thought to point out that Germany is currently running an experiment on his nuclear-free and natural gas-free utopia, and that we should have some good results come February or so.

Manstopper conceded, at Horse Combat distances. Say, out to fifteen yards or so.
Trajectory like a rainbow to even reach fifty yards. I've shot it. Comparison. .38 Spl. 148 gr. wadcutter, 4" bbl S&W. Holdover to hit "10" ring at 50 yards, aim at the upper "7" on the B-27 target. .455 round? Aim center head, for the same "10" ring hit.
There is NO .4xx round one should hope with which to be hit. Same with any .17 or .22. The .455 was fine for it's time, but when the horse's time was up, so was the .455's.

Now, I don't see Miklos here tonight. He got a little more wind and a little more rain, power may be out in his area, but I don't think it was too bad in his general area.

My cousin did his last update a few hours ago, saying it looks like it's over for us, and that's a wrap. Interestingly, he said the wind was roaring over us at higher altitudes, but "cold air damming" was keeping that wind from getting down on the deck. Said this was due to Ian quickly losing "tropical characteristics". Up in the mountains, though, that wind can still get 'em. But that was several hours ago.

You've got all of that right, actually. Saddle holsters were the thing for the most part, right up until the advent of the Colt's .36 cal. 1851 Navy, being one of the first repeaters light enough to be carried on the person.
Pro tip. The .36 Navy and later .357 Mag both share the same .357 bore diameter, along with the .38 Special. Reason being, the original .38 was measured on CASE diameter, with the "heel type" bullet having a narrower shank pressed into the mouth of the case. Outer diameter. 38 in. Diameter inside the mouth of the case? .357 in. So now your .357 Mag, fits nicely inside of that .38 in exterior diameter case. /historylesson

It would have been fine, but she ordered the "perfect drain" option that lowers the strainer area even more. I didn't catch that little detail when she ordered it. I opened the box and was like fuuuuuck, no way the wall drain is low enough. Its 20" to the center from the floor, which for older kitchen is fine, but not for deep undermount sinks.

Similar thing, here. The .22 LR is actually a .223 bore diameter bullet. It has a stepped "heel" that fits inside the mouth of the case. Which is just .22 wide, inside the mouth.
Which is why a .223 AR-15 can, with a .22 adapter, fire .22LR rounds for 50 yd. practice, like a champ.
(and the .44 Remington Magnum bullet measures .429, same reasons). ONLY the .41 Remington Magnum is actually a .41 diameter bullet!

Also went with a commercial overhead spring loaded hand squeeze triggered sprayer, with separate swivel faucet.
NOT from the big box stores.
Commercial shit ain't cheap, but is less expensive in the long run, because it's expensive only ONCE!

It is a minimum 22 feet deep over the fuel rods.
Why?
The water will absorb any radioactive Iodine 131 that bubbles out of any broken or leaking fuel rods. It prevents the radioactive Iodine from contaminating the area around the nuclear plant if they ever have a "Fuel Handling Accident." In other words, dropping something big and heavy on top of fresh irradiated fuel and busting the cladding to allow the radioactive shit to leak out.

yeah this was $530 for the damn sink. I could have probably fit a wider one if I scooped the sides of the sink base, but this one was big enough, and the next size up was over $700. yeah, no, not doing that.

I'm definitely saving them. They are cool, they look old.My freind actually bought a case of unused bottels from them, so I have a new unused one as well. they look old and got a real thick bottom. They also sold the stuff in sealed mason jars too, so I have one of those. Man cave stuff, for whenever I get around to actually putting the mancave together.

When doing cable, we had blind people with cable TV. We'd ask them why, and they always said they liked listening to the shows, and crafted... 3D scenarios for them in their imaginations, like a radio show. One customer loved one character in , oh, CSI or something, managed to meet their favorite actress and asked to touch her face. And was shocked to find she 'looked' nothing at all like they had imagined!!

You know, there's a class action suit waiting to happen to twatter. I too have been suspended. Not that I give a flying fig, but sadly the local PD, sheriff and FD - basically all city and county services post on twatter.
I got an amber alert from the CHP, and besides almost giving me a stroke with that alarm noise - I couldn't access the GD alert because it was on twatter! At least they used to let you look if you weren't registered.
So now if the local PD has an alert or warning about say, home break ins or BOTL's, I'm SOL. It should be illegal for tax sucking entities to use a publisher people can't access for pertinent information.

Fun to tool around in on a sunny day and be seen - or take off at green lights. But that's about it. What's even worse is it's really hard to tell the knock-offs from the real thing these days. I'd rather have a cool little Alfa or Jag, and a custom-made oil pan. Or maybe even a Persian rug to soak up the leaking oil.

Yeah, the hawt girl with the wrench and a cute smear of grease on their cheek is fake and silly, but it is about the beauty, not the logic of it. Or the ripped fireman wearing a full fireman suit lacking the top so he can show off his abs is silly but the kitten in his hand like he rescued it sells the whole thing!

I remember reading a car magazine article in the 90s. They were doing acceleration testing. G force, 0-60. They included modern supercars, a motorcycle and a Shelby 427. IIRC, the shelby was doing well until the torque broke something in the rear (axle or differential, I cannot remember which.)

I worked with a guy who replaced his entire electrical harness and components with modern parts on his MG. He had pulled the schematic for that year and model and found out he had a choice of 4 designs.

Compared with Elizabeth II's funeral, everything appears less ordered and precise to me. The casket and the flag covering it are handled much differently.

NDH left about the same time as the 2016 bloodletting, but was not involved with it, IIRC. Health problems. You'd see her from time to time after that, I think.

No but it corners much better. I'm assuming by "track" you mean "a track with corners etc" not a drag race. I've seen it tested over and over, those old hot sports cars even as late as the 80s just cannot compete with straight out of the box mundane cars these days. Suspension etc has gotten so much better in the last 40 years its not even close.

You never knew what would show up in the driveway:

I personally saw a guy who had put a 5.0 in one from a mustang. There was also a place where you could take a miata and they would squeeze in an LS2 (405 HP) into it. They also had to replace the suspension, transmission, widen your transmission tunnel, etc. Cost about as much as a second miata.

Tommy had a perfectly correct AC Cobra in 289, with of course, Carrol's signature on the dashboard.
Much MUCH rarer still though, was his 2005 Ford GT, one of only TWO in the world, with the dashboard also signed by Carrol Shelby. The GT is white with the blue GT stripes, and he has the peel-off vinyl stickers to put it into full Racing Livery in the White Pattern "GULF" sponsorship (vs. robin egg blue car).
One of TWO with Shelby's sig on the dash. The auction on that would be epic.

The videos aren't too tough to find. They run an 80s super hot track car and then the modern family car and the modern car wins on time.
Why? Because they hold the road better and the speed advantage is very limited by the short straight runs. You gotta slow to corner, and modern cars slow better and turn better. I mean you slap modern parts like those big brakes and modern suspension on that Daytona and its going to win but... then its not a stock Daytona any longer.

When she moved to Dallas she left it with her Mom and Dad in Colorado Springs. Her Dad had given $2500 to a Ft. Carson soldier for it because it had a crunched right front end from racing. He restored it and gave it to Mrs. E, and when she left it in his driveway he sold it to another soldier, for what he paid for it. Mrs. E reamed his ass over it and he felt so bad he bought her a Gold Wing. You can't get most any PART today for $2500.

Quick Hits
A Glenfield man has now been charged with murder after allegedly running over another person at a street dance in McHenry on September 18. 41-year-old Shannon Brandt was initially charged with vehicular homicide in the incident.The left has so normalized their constant political violence that police, judges, and GOP officials, including GOP DAs, just accept leftist violence as the normal, natural order of things. NO. We do not accept it that any longer.
A court has accepted the FBI's usual bullshit as to why it shouldn't have to disclose its thousands of FOIA'd documents about Seth Rich -- "will expose sources and methods," etc. (They have this bullshit as a macro) -- but the court at least did order his computer to be released, in two weeks. By the way, the FBI originally lied and claimed it had no documents at all responsive to the FOIA request. Whoops! Whoopsie! Tipped by commenter Grant Swinger, if that is his real name, a very interesting claim from LawDog, which sounds Learnéd though I don't know if it is, that the Russian pipeline explosion is almost certainly just a case of the Russians failing to do proper maintenance, plus a build-up of methane hydate crystals. He says there's a process to extract water from natural gas when you inject it into the pipe, but then, you don't get it all out, and this gas has just been sitting in the pipe for months and months, so whatever was left in the gas had all sorts of time to get up to mischief. Like forming methane hydrate crystals. LawDog doesn't explicitly say so in the article, but he implies that methane hydrate does not need free oxygen to explode. Someone in the comments says there's oxygen "in the lattice of ice" around the crystals. He notes "issues" with the pipe:
Miranda Devine
@mirandadevine Now I'm hearing the FBI is leaking private health information about whistleblowers to the New York Times to try to discredit them. This amounts to unlawful reprisal against a whistleblower which the DOJ Inspector General should investigate.
They officially shut it down in July of 2020 for maintenance, and had cornbread hell getting it back on-line, and "issues" with maintaining flow throughout the next year; shut it down again in July of 2021, with bigger "issues" -- we say "issues" because the Russians won't explain what these issues were -- and even more problems, including unexplained, major disruptions in gas flow in Dec21/Jan22; Feb 22; and April 22.
In my experience when anything involving energy-industry hydrocarbons explodes ... well, sabotage isn't the first thing that comes to mind. And honestly, when it comes to a pipeline running natural gas under Russian (non)maintenance, an explosion means that it's Tuesday. Or Friday. Or another day of the week ending in "y".He also points out the suspicious -- or non-suspicious -- timing of the explosions:
Yes, 17 hours apart. No military is going to arrange for two pipes in the same general area to be destroyed 17 hours apart. Not without some Spec Ops guy having a fit of apoplexy. One pipe goes up in a busy shipping lane, in a busy sea, and everyone takes notice. Then you wait 17 hours to do the second -- with 17 hours for people to show up and catch you running dirty? Nah, not buying it.I don't know if he's right because I don't understand the science he's talking about and I can't say that anything he's saying is true or not. But I would say that his explanation explains one thing: The dog that didn't bark, as Sherlock Holmes said. Why isn't Russia blaming this on Ukraine and calling for an emergency UN Security Council meeting? Why aren't they screaming about it? Why are they being uncharacteristically chill about it? It would make sense that they would be a bit muted about it -- if they knew the pipe exploded during an attempt to depressurize the pipes (as LawDog speculates) and they do not want to invite further inquiry which would only wind up embarrassing them. Still, I have no idea if any of this is even plausible. Interesting, though. #SixSeasonsAndaMovie became a motto for the ratings-challenged Community TV show. Abed vowed that the short-lived TV show The Cape (was that it?) would be on for "six seasons and a movie" when Jeff said it would be cancelled in three weeks, and the show's crew, cast, and fans adopted this as their own goal. They got canceled by NBC after five seasons, but then Yahoo "Screen," their short-lived attempt at an online TV service (remember that?) picked them up for a sixth season. And now, they will finally fulfill the destiny of #SixSeasonsandaMovie as Peacock announces a Community movie. I mean, an online streaming movie, which isn't fully a movie, but I guess it's what we call a movie now. Unfortunately, Donald Glover, who played Troy and left in the middle of season 5, won't be coming back. Oh what a surprise -- the Fauci's combined wealth increased by $5 million just during the two years of the pandemic. He's a civil "servant." Must be nice!
Dr. Anthony Fauci and his wife's net worth grew by $5 million during the COVID-19 pandemic as thousands of US residents struggled financially, according to a government spending watchdog group. The combined wealth of the 81-year-old retiring director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and his bioethicist wife, Christine Grady, soared from $7.5 million in 2019 to $12.6 million at the end of 2021, according to a report from the non-profit OpenTheBooks. "Despite becoming a figure of controversy, the system has rewarded Dr. Fauci handsomely," the group's CEO, Adam Andrzejewski, told Fox News Digital. "While Dr. Fauci has been a government bureaucrat for more than 55 years, his household net worth skyrocketed during the pandemic." The couple's wealth boost was due in part to major salary increases, cash awards and royalties, according to the report.Fauci has consistently refused to disclose his royalties, which are paid to him by Big Pharma, and has lied to Congress about the information about these royalties already being available to the public. It's not. It remains a secret kept under lock and key, and he won't turn the key. Europe's only surviving Queen, Margrethe of Denmark, was "inspired" by Queen Elizabeth to get rid of some her own goldbricking Harrys and Meghans and boot them out of the royal family.
Europe's only reigning Queen was inspired to revoke their titles by other royals - including her late cousin Queen Elizabeth II - and claimed it was to allow the four children of her younger son, Prince Joachim: Nikolai, Felix, Henrik and Athena, to live more normal lives. It follows similar moves by other royal families in Europe, including the Windsors, to slim down their monarchies, the Danish palace said later. But her decision has 'upset' her second son Joachim and his four children. His eldest sons Nikolai and Felix - from his first marriage - have been branded 'playboy princes' because they are professional models who failed to complete their two-year military education after both concluded it was 'not right for them'. Prince Joachim insists his mother only gave him five days' notice. His first wife Alexandra, Countess of Frederiksborg, said last night she is 'in shock' and revealed: 'The children feel ostracised'. Jacob Heinel Jensen, royal correspondent for national tabloid BT who has been at the heart of the story in Denmark, told MailOnline that the Danish Royal Family is in 'crisis' -- and is now in the midst its own Megxit. He said: 'The situation we have in Denmark today is what the UK had two years ago. Yesterday we had a Prince Joachim going rogue on TV saying how upset he was, how his children are suffering. The parallels between him and Harry are there for all to see'. 'This slimming down is something we have seen all over Europe. The days of gigantic royal families with prince after prince and princess after princess, all paid for by the taxpayer, are over', he added.It's so fun to hear the lamentations of the entitled. Meanwhile, the Royal Twats may delay their Netflix series to edit out some of the nasty things they said about (checks notes) Harry's father and (checks notes) Harry's brother.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly want to edit their docuseries with Netflix and delay its release 'until next year' after the Queen's death, multiple sources have told Page Six.Netflix signed a $100 million deal with these useless layabouts, back when Netflix thought they were making money and were signing deals with everyone. They were specifically paying for dirt and gossip, not soft-focus crap. I wonder if Netflix will go the David Zaslav route and start looking for a way to "Batgirl" these two. At The Dispatch, here's the picture of Lizzo that ran to advertise Allahpundit's godawful piece about Lizzo. Except, you know, it's not Lizzo. It's just... some other black woman.
[S]ources claimed the couple now want to make edits to the series, which would possibly delay its release until later in 2023, as they look to 'downplay much of what they have said about King Charles III, Queen Consort Camilla, and the Prince and Princess of Wales'. One Hollywood industry source said: 'A lot of conversations are happening. I hear that Harry and Meghan want the series to be held until next year, they want to stall. 'I wonder if the show could even be dead in the water at this point, do Harry and Meghan just want to shelve this thing?,' they added.

As my second week as a staff writer at The Dispatch comes to a close, I need to confess. I'm ... not really a writer. Some of you will have already noticed. Jonah Goldberg is a writer. Kevin Williamson is a writer. I'm a blogger. Bloggers have different talents than writers. We value writers for their prose and their insight. We value bloggers for their speed, their efficiency at curating news, and their ability to formulate strong political opinions--"takes," we might more aptly call them--about literally anything that might turn up on the Drudge Report or in the average news junkie's Twitter timeline. Like Liam Neeson in Taken, I have a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you, if you happen to be someone who esteems careful well-informed analysis over dashed-off screeds about whatever the outrage du jour might be. Can a blogger successfully transition into a writer? The Dispatch evidently thinks so. I guess we'll find out!Yeah good luck with that, Champ. We're all eager to see where your New Journey takes you. I swear to God, there's something wrong with him. It's like he's brain-damaged. Speaking of people who are terrible at their jobs, chase away audiences, and ultimately get fired, Trevor Noah says that he himself has decided to leave The Daily Show and it was totally his idea and everything. It's just that after seven years of not being funny on TV, he's ready to not be funny in his first love, stand-up comedy.
Noah said he was eager to get back on the road, doing standup and seeing the world. He said it was "another part of my life I want to keep exploring."This is an obvious lie. Every stand-up, every single one, attempts to get on TV, not because they want to be an actor (they usually don't want to be an actor) and not because they don't like stand-up (they usually like stand-up itself) but because they absolutely hate the road. No one wants to be on the road. Trevor Noah does not want to be on the road. As for "seeing the world," pretty sure you can do that with a high paying job. A lot of rich people manage it. He also claimed he wanted to "continue learning languages." Oh, right. So that's why you have to return to the road. To "learn languages." Maybe he'll take a page from AllahPundit and do Stand-Up About Being a Stand-Up. Really tell the world what's going on in the crazy little bean called Trevor Noah's Brain. Young girls totally aren't pursuing unneeded surgical modifications based on what they see on TikTok and Insta:
They say it's "nonsurgical" but then, they suturing your eyebrows up higher on your face. We're kind of playing close-to-the-line with the definition of "nonsurgical."
This beauty trend could really fox you up. At least that's what Hannah Edwards, a woman who underwent the TikTok viral #FoxEyeLift procedure and experienced so much pain that she wanted to "die," claims. "It was honestly the worst pain I've ever felt," Edwards, a 25-year-old nutrition student from Sydney, Australia, told NeedToKnow.Online. "The pain was so bad that I wanted to die, I didn't think I could handle being in so much pain." In early January, Edwards scheduled a consultation for the fox eye-lift with a clinic, hoping its staffers would help her achieve the face of her dreams. The controversial cosmetic enhancement is a nonsurgical treatment meant to transform rounded, hooded or droopy eyes into sleek, feline-like ovals. During the procedure, biodegradable sutures are used to pull the skin near the outer corner of the eye back towards the temple. In the US, the embellishment costs around $2,050.

Everyone loves orgasms, right? If we didn't, we wouldn't go to ridiculous lengths to achieve them like pirating porn alone or going through the exhausting process of romancing a special someone just so we can have one in the company of another human. Well, what if I told all of you straight guys out there that there is a secret orgasm that you don't even know about, and it's much better than relieving yourself into a wad of Kleenex while your computer burns your bare thighs? This is an orgasm so good that it will make your whole body shake, every inch of your skin tingle, and your voice erupt with spontaneous screams like Meg Ryan in When Harry Met Sally. There's only one catch: To achieve this orgasm, you have to put things up your butt.Sounds pretty convincing! But on the other hand, they're in bad financial shape and are trying to sell themselves off one piece at a time, like a streetwhore with prosthetic limbs.
Vice Media has hired financial advisors to seek a sale, either for the entire company or for parts of the business, according to sources. The company would prefer to sell itself in one piece but may decide to sell off business units if it can't find an appealing deal, the sources said.That was from May so I guess they haven't found an appealing deal yet. So now I just don't know what to think!!! brb looking for an old tv remote to stick up my butt

I don't know, I read elsewhere (probably ZH) that Putin mentioned it in his speech today, along with the assertion that everyone knows who did it. I'm not sure if he mentions DC directly or the author was filling in for him.
The story that it was an accident being pushed is interesting in that at least in means someone in DC figured out they went to far on that one and need to find a way to back out of it, which is better than the alternatives.

Methane clathrates are solids. Unless an anticomplexing agent (like methanol) is used t's possible for them to accumulate in pipelines and impede flow or clog the flow of gas. When the clathrates disintegrate the increase in gas pressure can be enormous, potentially rupturing the line.

Breaking: 2 Killed In Blast
Posted by: Axeman at September 30, 2022 06:53 PM (krQz2)
Look up the Denver protest killer. Matthew Dolloff.
That story has it *all,* fellas. This guy was Antifa, and 9News hired him as a so-called "Antifa sherpa" to guard their crews covering the street actions during the 2020 campaign season. Reportage refers to Dolloff as "an unlicensed security guard," but he was Antifa in good standing, and employed by 9News for that reason - as a bribe to the group.
During one of their street actions, a group of MAGA guys mustered a completely (not mostly) peaceful counter-protest in support of PDT. Dolloff's cheese slid off his cracker, and he pulled a gun, and murdered one of the MAGA bros. This happened in broad daylight, in front of many witnesses, and was caught on cellphone video, as well as 9News' own cameras.
He (like Brandt) was "arrested" for the murder. Less than two years later? The Denver DA dropped all charges and released young Master Dolloff, on the grounds that it was... self-defense.
When young Master Dolloff produced the weapon and advanced on his victim, the filthy MAGAt had the temerity to try pepper-spraying him. So he totally had it coming, and Dolloff now walks free once again.
Expect the same for Brandt.

Sub lets out divers to plant charges on timers, HUGE explosive charges... the sub then has to LEAVE THE AREA before the explosion, or the propagation of explosive force through the water would damage them...
Then, comes back, and sets the next set of charges... and leaves the area before second boom.

The Russians are usually chill, especially when pissed off. They get even later. They had already warned Germany that going back the the status quo wasn't going to happen - not that things would be zero gas, but that going forward they were prioritizing China, India and other customers.
And it isn't unlikely at all that they had information that it was going to go down and know more or less who did it. Their spies aren't idiots and most of our elites are. Remember the "big thing happening on the 24th" talk? The connected Polish pol who said "Thanks USA"
To my mind though, if it were an accident why isn't Germany screaming a blue streak, why aren't environmental groups bitching about gas leaks and eco disaster, why isn't Cable news covering it 24-7.

Methane hydrate (MH) is a solid compound in which a large amount of methane gas molecules (CH4) are caged within a crystalline structure of water, as illustrated in Fig. 7.1, under low temperature and high pressure, forming a solid similar to ice [1]. It looks like ice, but starts burning when an open flame is brought close to it; methane hydrate is often called “fiery ice.” As found in previous investigations [2], a great amount of MH exists stably undersea. The natural methane hydrate may not be purely a white agglomeration like artificial methane hydrate. Since methane hydrate exists in between the sand particles of sandy sediments as shown in Fig. 7.2, the methane hydrate-bearing sediments do not appear white but

The Navy had no physical evidence tying him to the crime scene, other than a lighter in his personal effects. The problem with that is, EVERY enlisted person I knew while Pooky was in the AF tried to have a lighter nearby at all times to burn excess threads off their uniforms so they wouldn't get into trouble for uniform violations.
So they dragged this kid through hell for two years with no real physical evidence based on the fact that he was rumored to be "disgruntled." Sound familiar?

But the methane clathrates is an I trifling idea. Water is hell on pipelines. Almost all of the major pipeline explosions in the us involve water as an origin in one form or another.
But the same problem that the law guy has with the 17 hour offset of the explosion exists for clathrates as the origin. Your telling me that you had multiple clathrate explosions on two different pipelines that close to each other? Plus, it’s getting increasingly wintry there. Clathrates like to form under high pressure and near zero temperatures. Now, if the Russians were dropping the pressures in the pipelines I could see the possibility of such a release. The pressure changes and the methane locked in the ice at higher pressure is explosively released. Temperatures were just getting colder there so you would likely have more clathrate forming.
Interesting problem.

My favorite conspiracy theory is the one that claims that the Germans were importing gas via Nordstream 2 against EU, NATO, and German policy and rules, because Nordstream 1 was down and there was a lot of money to be made in having Gas when the price was too high.

A few weeks later some dude in a neighboring town tried to stop a similar gang from taking his hood and they shot him dead.

This is chemistry, not maths, and more to the point it's REALLY BAD chemistry. There are two hydrogen atoms in water, not two oxygen atoms. You can get methane hydrate, yes, but that's also why gas pipelines are built with insane amounts of safety and redundancy. And certainly why free radicals aren't allowed in the pipes.
The neocon tribe is trying to sell "methane hydrates" as why two gas pipelines of dramatically different age exploded in two close locations OUTSIDE Russian territory without completely destroying all of the gas inside the pipeline. But that's beneath the level of remedial chemistry. That's the point where your high school prof takes your class schedule and orders you to take drama class because you don't have the cooking skills for home ec.

She is also grotesquely obese, at a moment when our degraded culture demands it.
She is also black, at a moment when our degraded culture demands that as well.
Her talent isn't big enough, and her ass is too big, and few people outside of H'wood care about her blackness. She's grown rich and fat. She'll grow fatter, and less rich, and then die forgotten. With ruined knees and heart valves that look like the ones on a Russian pipeline.

I agrée on clathrates not being explosive. But if the Russians were bleeding off pressure on the pipelines you might have had a pressure excursion of the methane trapped in the ice at higher pressures. It might be enough to rupture the pipeline.
But the proximity is mighty suspicious. Unless those are local or pipeline low spots. So assume a pressure spike due to ice releasing methane stored in clathrate at a higher pressure. That rupture the pipeline, dropping pressure more, resulting in an additional clathrate explosion.
But only two? And then this repeats in the next pipeline next door?
If pressures were steady state. Hmmm. I can’t see a pressure spike high enough to cause a pipeline to rupture.
On top of that I think a pipeline rupture may have a different signature than an explosive signature. The Swedes aren’t idiots. Pressure waves and the speed of the pressure wave is probably different for a pipe burst than for an explosion.

When people are hurt, those are the one's you hear about.
I'm not condemning these operators but trying to illustrate how difficult it is, even with well trained and motivated individuals, to run gas (not gasoline) without a mishap. [although we -the US- have running pipeline to perfection] NOW give this responsibility to Russians.

I am guessing you’re saying that the likelihood of this happening in a new pipeline and and older pipeline right next to each other with two methane excursions each (and only two) is a low probability event

Thing is, Russia has seen a massive exodus of talent. You think any Russian engineer worth his salt is gonna stick around and maybe get drafted? Fuck no - these guys hit the exists months ago - the world is begging for them. And most of the Russian oil industry was being run by out of town companies anyway. When EM, BP, and Shell left the clock started ticking for shit to fall apart. They are running a system nobody knows how to run. It's like handing the steering wheel over to a 10 year old - for the first few minutes the car won't crash.
This winter all sorts of crazy, terrible shit is going to happen to their gas and oil wells in Siberia. Many will just become inoperable, with a bunch of idiots scratching their heads over. Their oil and gas production is going to decline, and even after the war, will take a decade to get back on line. Russian oil fields are tricky. It takes real brains and expertise to keep things working.

They are closer to high spots and low pressure and warm temperatures - shallowish regions near Bornholm Island.
I believe the 2 pipeline systems have three pipes and all were broken in two incidents 17 hours apart. The delay could just be skew of travel time between 2 sites, with a long delay before blast to let the perps escape the area.

Second, bloggers live and die on writing skill. If you cannot write, you cannot blog. Its a written short-form medium and the skill at writing something that grips readers, entertains, informs, and keeps attention is key. If all you do is blast out some information and then do a political spin you're a crappy writer that people will turn away from for the same content, but written well and entertainingly.

they may need to refine their story ... the long time (due to shut down) for methane hydrate buildup gave time for excessive buildup. The employee problem and war interrupted more routine efforts. The first explosion disrupted the other pipeline (a mile away, idk .heh) ... And the second pipeline was really not empty, it was being used, but because it was a covert effort, they did not have all the equipment to do correct maintenance.
OK, that would need a lot of work, but they might be able to put together a plausible scenario, if this one isn't working. A lot of Russians are pretty disgruntled and leaving Russia to avoid dying for Putin .. so maybe play the "Russian Insurrection" card ... a lot of that going around.

Hounding Fauci about his ill-gotten gains is fine, but someone needs to be hounding CDC and HHS, hard, to get other stolen stuff returned to the populace. Examples:
- The pre-COVID definition of vaccine.
- The pre-COVID definition of herd immunity.
- Using data to make public health decisions. You know, the scientific method.
- Not using or throwing-out data depending on whether it meets the political and personal needs of public health officials.
- Perform experiments and studies to get data, ASAP, if no applicable data exists.

Yes, for various reasons all of this comes back to us. If it was an honest accident we get the blame, if it was an ally we get the blame, if it was Ukraine we get the blame. Because of statements that have been made by the regime we're going to get the blame.

Russia's conscription law - like everyone else's - is selective. You do not take highly-trained engineers and put them in the infantry.
Furthermore, it affects teenagers, not people with advanced degrees and jobs.
Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at September 30, 2022 07:24 PM (llXky)
These are reserve call ups, not conscriptions. These fellows have already been conscripted and trained. But as you say, they are not calling up everyone and those in tech jobs and the like are not being called up at the same rate except for specialist duties.

Sure sure. I said "maybe". Plus an engineer with a 20 year old son? How about one who's parent company (Shell) has left? How about one that enjoys the finer things in life, that are no longer avalible due to sanctions?
I'm just saying highly talented people aren't going to stick around and see "how the war goes." Unless they are super patriots they'll run for better pastures. Just google "Russia Brian drain" and read everything since the war started - they've lost maybe 200k of their most talented people. Estimates are 10% of the entire population with advanced degrees has bailed.

I related a story the other day about Russia (then USSR) having a pipeline contract in Nigeria. Their river crossings repeatedly failed, so they sub-contract a U.S. company. This was ~ 45 years ago.
My son has done work all over Russia. He said they have some decent engineers but this was probably 5+ years ago.
It's hard to imagine four pipelines failing almost at once but they all experienced the same conditions weather wise.

There are zero reporting requirements since there were no spills. The field personnel reported it to me in a morning report. For one of the ruptures, TWO people know about it.

We destructively test tubing to 6,000 psi in the oil patch with water as the pressurizing medium. Guys stand right beside the pipe as it blows up, because water is essentially an incompressible fluid.
I have backed guys off of a location when a pressure vessel was accidentally charged with gas above its design pressure.
When a container of highly pressurized gas ruptures in the oil patch, EVERYONE refers to that as an explosion. The shards of the container accelerate as the expanding gas pushes them outwards. Exactly the same way a bullet accelerates down the barrel of a rifle.

Putin is a former KGB officer who has had a hard-on for former Soviet satellites since the day the wall came down. Of all the politicians involved in this fight right now I'd put money on the fact he has forgotten more about Ukraine than all of them combined know.
Putin might not win this fight but the claims that he is being crushed seem a bit premature. We just sent another $14 billion to Ukraine, Europe is imploding and we aren't far behind. And winter is coming.
He's done an awful lot of damage to the NATO allies without firing a shot at us.

We had two gas pipelines at our company rupture during the month of September.
Posted by: Pillage Idiot
That’s key Pipelines do rupture - they are just a big pressure vessel and it happens. Many many times without flamage.
But two bursts on one pipeline (what causes the second burst?). And then another excursion within 24 hours on another pipeline of a completely different vintage? Resulting in seismic signatures that resemble explosions?
I like the clathrate explanation. It’s would show that there’s still sanity. But I don’t buy it. 🙁

I would worry more if Putin had been GRU. Those were the hard-core spies and intel operators.
The KGB had plenty of flaws in their visualization of the opposition. Like a group-think error.
But the GRU failed Putin in Ukraine, or were disregarded.

Yes, exactly correct.
However, that was typed as rebuttal to whomever said that pipelines around the world don't just break.
These ruptures were on 3" polyethylene pipe on low pressure systems.
Ruptures in highly pressurized steel pipe or vessels are a different animal.

The world has put up with us, because we offered a system that let them have stable prosperity. They were subordinate to us, but they were stable and prosperous. What are we offering them now?

I know. That is a real confounding factor.
P(natural explosion) followed by P(natural explosion close by shortly after with reduced pressure in system) followed by
P(natural explosion another pipeline of different vintage 17 hours later) followed by P(natural explosion close by shortly after with reduced pressure in system). Vs
P(deliberate explosion) followed by P(deliberate explosion close by) followed by
P(deliberate explosion another pipeline of different vintage designed to confuse) followed by P(natural explosion close by after pressure loss)
I hate both of these. But the second seems more likely. A natural explosion due to a controlled pressure drop in both pipelines (clathrate hypothesis) could result in an additional explosion (for instance of an ice blocked pipe) when the pressure dropped. But it happening the same way a second time? In areas where water is unlikely to pool (guessing it’s a high spot) But two explosions per pipe is redundancy if it’s deliberate. With a delay thrown in to confuse the issue. Makes me lean toward this hypothesis.

I am only typing to rebut the idea that some people are posting - that it couldn't possibly be an accident.
The theory of multiple, independent accidents occurring in a narrow time frame is exceedingly unlikely.
Except for one large caveat. If the Russians (or someone else in the operational stream) changed the conditions in the pipelines and put them into a hazardous state, then these ARE NOT independent accidents.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if it was an accident, but that will be nothing more than a trivia question 100 years from now. All that matters is who is in a better position from a propaganda stand point, and Russia is because our leadership is retarded.

You get water hammer in your 3/4" house pipes due solely to the acceleration of an incompressible fluid with a 30 psi pressure differential.
A 48" pipeline, with a COMPRESSIBLE fluid at 1500 psi, easily has the potential for pipeline destroying momentum due to an accelerating clathrate plug, a lost pig, etc.
Posted by: Pillage Idiot at September 30, 2022 08:15 PM (HlyYF)
Posted by: Pillage Idiot
If they were bleeding pressure (which could result in a pressure change and pressure excursion) it wasn’t being done to explode the pipeline. No one has that detailed an idea of what is occurring in the pipeline.
As for clathrates. The sea floors are packed with methane clathrates. There’s been a long ranging discussion on mining them since there are thousands of years methane resources locked in them. But the fracking version for clathrates hasn’t been developed yet.
You will also hear Libs blabbering on about how global warming will cause the oceans to warm up and then release the clathrates. Which is unlikey. In the oceans where the pressures needed to form clathrates, local water temperatures are 4 C. Constant. Because water has a density maximum at 4 c and you would have to heat up the oceans a lot to warm up the high pressure areas (which are hundreds to thousands of meters deep).

The neocon tribe is trying to sell "methane hydrates" as why two gas pipelines of dramatically different age exploded in two close locations OUTSIDE Russian territory without completely destroying all of the gas inside the pipeline. But that's beneath the level of remedial chemistry. That's the point where your high school prof takes your class schedule and orders you to take drama class because you don't have the cooking skills for home ec.

Thanks trev006 for saving me some typing. When I read that quoted part up top, in the text, I cringed. These pseudo(pseudo-chemists) need to just go away and finish weaving those baskets underwater or they'll never get their diplomas. Clathrates indeed. I prefer RDX or plastique.
BTW the permafrost doesn't explode yet contains methane trapped in ice.

I’ve dealt with water hammer with pipelines of the same diameter as the gas pipelines. We have engineered solutions for those.
For gas pipelines water hammer type resonances are not a primary driver.

James Bond Producers: We're Going to Continue "Evolving" Bond "Just As Men Are Evolving," Showing More Emotional Growth and Offering "Meatier" Roles to Female Characters
Plus: Woke Hollywood Discovers a "New Movement"
Awesome. I know that's what every man is looking for in James Bond.
We love the New Soy-Filled Bond we've been getting.Speaking of Woke Hollywood: OK, Groomers.
Variety writes that Broccoli confirmed to them that the "humanizing of the once-womanizing spy and the ensuring of more fulfilling, meatier roles for the female stars of the franchise" done during her and her brother's handling of the franchise will "continue in the next films". "It's an evolution," asserted Broccoli, who in addition to serving as a James Bond producer is also the current director of the UK chapter of Time's Up. "Bond is evolving just as men are evolving. I don't know who's evolving at a faster pace."
A new Wizard of Oz remake is currently in the works by director Kenya Barris, who says that the new movie will feature plenty of LGBTQ representation. Barris also stated that the original movie was a reflection of what was going on in the world at the time, which was the Dust Bowl and The Great Depression, and now the current world events of LGBTQ representation will be one of the defining factors of his remake. According to Barris, "Now we're going to turn a mirror on where we're at right now and take disparate characters from the LGBTQ community, from different cultural communities and socioeconomic communities, and tell a story that reflects the world." This is certainly a different take on the Wizard of Oz, but one that many people are going to find quite exciting.Actually, it's not as big of a deal that this is the "Gay Wizard of Oz" as you might think. As all these properties come out of copyright, there are going to be off-brand productions, like the Winnie the Pooh horror movie Blood and Honey. Once these things go out of copyright, anyone can make any version they like. They usually just can't use the proper name of the property, which is usually trademarked, because trademark, unlike copyright, can last in perpetuity. (The Winnie the Pooh movie will probably be sued into dropping the "Winnie the Pooh" part of the title, though they can still say it in the movie. They just can't identify the product by the trademarked name.) There's a competing Oz remake which will be more faithful to the original, but without the music. That version will be able to use elements that were created specifically for the movie -- such as the ruby slippers; in the novel, they were silver, I think -- because it's being made by Warner Bros., which made and owns the original. One of the reasons I was annoyed at the Gay Oz was that there are like 15 Oz novels and anyone with a brain in their head would be attempting to lay the groundwork for a long string of family-oriented, book-faithful (mostly) Oz-centered films. I imagine that that will be the goal of the "real" Oz project. So, there will be two different Oz movies for two completely different Americas. Does anyone get the feeling that we are splitting into two countries? What a smooth transition that was. Because WDWPro -- that stands for "Walt Disney World Professional," someone who says he's a Disney World insider with insider information -- says he spoke to a toy industry expert who told him the toy industry is now splitting between conservative and liberal. Or woke vs. non-woke. Toys are major ancillary money-makers for Hollywood. And now that Top Gun: Maverick acquainted Hollywood with the crazy idea that masculine heroes and masculine virtues like patriotism, stoicism, courage and toughness could make money, the toy industry is splitting between the Woke and Post-Woke sectors.
A toy insider with major connections is reaching out to That Park Place again with impressive details. According to this individual, whom we have verified as being an expert within the industry, the toy market in North America is beginning to split into politically-based markets. The rise of "conservative entertainment" is how it is being termed with executives inside the industry, many of whom are bewildered by this "new thing." And what fits into this "conservative entertainment" segment of the toy industry? It may surprise you.Actually it probably won't. But it will be fun to read anyway. So here are the "new criteria" defining the "new movement" of this "new type" of entertainment. It's so new you guys, you won't believe how new it is.
Here are some criteria that various studios and merchandising partners are working with in regards to what corporations believe is a new movement. And, according to the source, that's being driven in large part due to movies like Top Gun: Maverick having phenomenal returns that broke through the ceiling of what analysts believed was possible. * Patriotic * Military and law enforcement positively portrayed * Mostly if not all heterosexual, [redacted to protect site from algorithm damage] * No spotlight on alphabet issuesIt's so new you guys. What an innovation it is, to have a two hour movie which doesn't focus on Alphabet Issues. I don't know what the redacted part is. Probably something like, "with actors who are the actual sex they're portraying, that is, no trans actors playing opposite gender."
It's like science fiction you guys. I think this might be the plan for a new Star Trek-style toy line you guys.
* Marriage/family unit seen as positive institution; kids love and admire their parents, parents sacrificing for each other and their kids
Oh My God you guy the newness here, it's Future Shocking me.
* Communities seen as unifying, institutions shown as positives * Multiple white males in cast, can be majority ; in leadership roles
* Feminine good looking women, masculine men * Hero archetype is intact * Fire arms not seen as inherently bad, can be shown as a means of protectionThis may read like a parody, and maybe WDW Pro is getting punked, but WDW Pro is a legitimate journalist/blogger/muckraker. He himself would not spoof his audience.
In essence, this looks very similar to how the market dealt with entertainment and the United States at the end of the Cold War, during the eighties and early nineties.Why yes it is -- it sounds very much like The Before Times. He writes that as one side of the toy market splits to market to "new movement," The Before Times market, the other side of the market will be liberated to chase the "old movement," the woke/alphabet people/feminist market that much harder.
Essentially, the market is doing what the market always does: it's searching for money. The problem in our current culture is that American is splitting into two distinct cultural groups... and there's no good way to unify those in media and merchandise. As a result, companies are going to begin separating their offerings into distinctly conservative and distinctly liberal properties. Sure, there will still be the Mickey Mouse brands that try to appeal to both sides, but as the source says, even Star Wars has been damaged by the bifurcation of the market.Via Thinking Critical. This is a toy guy, not a movie or TV guy, but he is part of the same schlock production chain that churns out this crap. He might not be in the center of The Media Blob, but he is part of one of its major Tendrils. His source has previously provided information on how badly Marvel and Star Wars merchandise is doing in the marketplace -- something that is confirmed by a lot of people -- and that the situation is so bad that Disney is looking past its own brands, which are no longer top-of-line, to find the next "big thing." They're even looking to acquire, maybe, the Next Big Thing out of Japan. Like, the next Transformers. Or a Manga property. Incredibly, Disney is now looking past Marvel to look for a manga property as its next cash cow. That's how well Phase 4 (or as Gary from Nerdrotic calls it, Stage IV) is doing.

Wonder Woman was discovering her powers because she was using her powers for the first time in a non-training environment.
Wonder Woman one was a classic combination of Greco demigod story and super origin. It was probably the masterpiece of the genre really. Marvel's only near equivalent would have been Ant-Man.

I agree, both shared a strong feel of being COMIC BOOK movies, rather than action heroes wearing vaguely costume-like uniforms and having unusual abilities.
I would classify Iron Man II as being in the same camp. It felt like a comic book, like someone storyboarded the movie using a comic book (which, supposedly the director of The Crow literally did).

... it's worth knowing that Baum married a daughter of Fayetteville's anti-Christian feminist firebrand, Matilda Joslyn Gage. Baum was fascinated by his brilliant mother-in-law and spent many hours in her company, absorbing her conviction that Christianity was a false religion that oppressed women; her radically advanced ideas of gender equality; and her sophisticated theories about nonauthoritarian governance, inspired by her studies of the Iroquois Indians. All of these notions color the Oz books. Think of the preponderance of strong female characters (Dorothy, Glinda, the Wicked Witch of the West), quite extraordinary by the standards of Victorian literature. Think of the utter and pointed omission of religion and central government in the land of Oz: in the words of Baum scholar Katharine M. Rogers, "Oz is a utopia where people are naturally inclined to help and respect each other because they are happy." And consider the climax of the movie, where Toto goes behind the curtain and exposes "the great and powerful Oz" as a false god.
Baum would lampoon religion even more explicitly in two non-Oz children's books: Policeman Bluejay (1907) and The Sea Fairies (1911).

I included the boys here and a list of "what I am watching" because I often get accused of being a knee-jerk philistine regarding modern "entertainment."
The creators of the Boys are dimwits to a degree, take "St*rmfront" the character, they had the opportunity and dipped her feet in the water of taking the piss out of the left for loving them some socialism "nationalized" so long as it is delivered with witty grrlpwwr bromides.
Hell if they *really* wanted to point out the insanity of America with "Vought" they could have pointed out that Germany and America going back to the 1890s had been swapping love letters on Eugenics and racial hygiene....

Truth be told, there's plenty of kinky stuff in Baum's "Oz" books. For example, at the end of "Return to Oz", the hero, a boy named Jack, is transformed into Princess Ozma, and everybody is OK with that. (It seems that a witch had placed a spell on Ozma, turning her into the boy Jack, and at the end of the book, the spell was undone. But still ...)

The movie comes from a place and time that is simply not reachable to us today. We all take color for granted but at the time, the technology was very new. Heck, even synchronized sound was only about a decade old at the time. It was also on the eve of a devastating world war that changed everything in the US.
If you like classic movies, 1939 was probably Hollywood's best year creatively in cinema.

It is crazy how much amazing stuff came out just that one year. And how little came out before it. I mean some good movies were made (especially in the silent era), but it was mostly forgettable. It was like some creative switch was thrown in 1939 and everything changed.

I'm not sure I buy this "Victorian Literature" hatred of "strong women". I'm no expert but seems like all the books I read from the 1800s there were Jane Austen's books, Scarlet Letter, Little Women all of which had scads of female characters.
I'm sure if flogged into it they could wish all that and other books I don't remember out of existence, but I don't see Wizard of Oz as a feminist tract.

Not really. Those of us of a certain age may have had a kid who became hopelessly addicted a video or DVD and demanded that it be put in all the time. For one of my kids, "Wizard of Oz" was that film.
It's actually quite good, holds up under many many repeated viewings and the "gayness" is tempered with a deep cynicism and contempt. The Cowardly Lion saying he was a "dandy Lion" is wonderful, since it equates homosexuality with cowardice.
There's all sorts of subtle jabs that were the staple of 1930s films - sidelong glances and double-takes.

On that, I can agree.
But when I watch a movie, I want to be entertained, maybe engage in a little escapism. I don't want to have gay sex with it and have it promise me a sweet gig at The Bulwark.
I don't find watching a girl and a bunch of fruity pies skipping down the yellow brick road entertaining.

I actually appreciate certain parts of The Boys - showing the absolute grossness of what you get if sex gets divorced from morality...seeing how big business corrupts big gov as they sit in a pair...seeing how the little person has to fight back against all this dang garbage.
I mean, depending how you watch, that show has just as many things to say that our side says as others...but it gets X-rated sometimes.

I also really liked The Wiz on Broadway. Things can be redone without being completely against the grain of average folks.

To be fair, Disney worked with Studio Ghibli, and brought over a host of animated films of high quality. But that was in an era before the American Otaku, and before Disney "transitioned" itself.
Though it might be cool to see a Japanese anime take on Disney properties. Particularly of their original cartoon characters, like Mickey, Goofy, and Donald. Imagine a couple of studios, each doing a 5-minute segment? Make it like the Animatrix, with a touch of Fantasia.

I suspect it comes from two things:
1) a host of terrible now forgotten crap that was familiar to early proponents of this theory
2) the fact that often women in these stories were relegated to victims or soft, weak people that fainted a lot and the men had to dominate.
There were VERY strong women in Victorian literature, though and writers such as Doyle kind of went out of his way to praise women and show them as strong, interesting, and capable. I mean his second Sherlock Holmes story was about a woman who humiliated and defeated him.

We've been struggling with something similar in our house. We've got a bunch of the 90s or so Disney animated movies, and they're absolutely great. Beauty and the Beast, Lion King, the Little Mermaid, etc. Almost a renaissance era for Disney animation, and all still hold up to this day. And now I have to outright tell my children "You're not allowed to watch that if there's a Mouse or Disney logo anywhere on it" when we see modern stuff come up.

Right before Disney went all-gay all-groomer maybe 10 or so years ago they had these weird little Japanese versions of their characters. Round ball-like animated creatures, but you knew who everyone was because they all had distinctive looks. They didn't talk, just rolled around and did silly stuff and acted cute. It was fantastic and a shame that more of that approach wasn't the direction the studio went in.

I hated that movie, although I don't remember exactly why now, but it was woke. I told my wife nothing newer. (Of course that Ice movie was big in Japan and she saw that....)

So it sounds like these "analysts" -- heavy on the "anal" -- have entirely misjudged the appetite of normal people; almost as if they live in a woke bubble that is attempting project their version of "normal" on everyone else, rather than reflect the world that is easily discernible, if one simply opens their eyes and observes people in their natural habitat.
But they'll never adjust, because they never learn, because they can't admit they're the weird ones.

That's Wonder Woman 2 - Wonder Woman 2 was a bad movie. It showed Patty Jenkins needs someone to oversee her movies to get greatness...to much free reign, and you get WW2...
Waiti's Thor 4 vs Thor 3 is the same problem. You get a horrible movie b/c they let him have free reign...

>>Why would The Wizard of Oz be considered gay?
Because for some inexplicable reason, the "Gay Community" appropriated Judy Garland as a gay icon, and now ipso facto her most iconic role and film must be Homoscized.

I suspect it comes from two things:
1) a host of terrible now forgotten crap that was familiar to early proponents of this theory
2) the fact that often women in these stories were relegated to victims or soft, weak people that fainted a lot and the men had to dominate.
There were VERY strong women in Victorian literature, though and writers such as Doyle kind of went out of his way to praise women and show them as strong, interesting, and capable. I mean his second Sherlock Holmes story was about a woman who humiliated and defeated him.

I reject until evidence is shown #1. I've seen a lot of similar feminist theorizing in my life and none of it showed more than a cursory knowledge of historical facts they were tying to their Procrustean bed of theory.
But Dorothy isn't any feminist icon either, needing to go to a Man to get her tasks done. I'm sure feminists have deconstructed Wizard of Oz plenty but this writer just doesn't even know feminism enough to know that.

Also, note that if they were to follow Ace's advice, the 2nd in the series (The Marvelous Land of Oz) actually ends, in a sense, with a boy transitioning into a girl. (Ozma was enchanted by a witch, to appear as a boy.) It also includes a sort of feminist rebellion.

Do Orcs in DnD have races? The Tolkien Orc/Goblin possible subrace are split into two different species. Hating orcs isn't racism because they are a different species.
Dark elves are dark because they are evil and live in the dark, in the DnD i remember. I don't think they were even in the original set - introduced in the vault of the Drow if I recall.

Read something once about how men weren't really "hunters" in hunter/gatherer tribes. Men brought in very little food. What they were was protectors. They protected the women and children from animals and other tribes. Occasionally they bagged an animal.

Matriarchal society. Males are routinely sacrificed and considered lower than women. The Drow were really cool with enslaving the Duergar and Gnomes and any other race they ran into. Slaughtering their fair skinned kin. Teaming up with Illithids. Definitely the good guys.

Half the staff and crew of the original 1939 flick were probably gay and/or pervs and/or hopheads. Judy prolly got perved on by plenty of fat producers. Beloved movie, but it all comes out of the same infernal pit.

Aragorn is described as being darker skinned than other men, and there is definitely a subgroup of elves as well as Hobbits that are darker skinned.

First Edition has a lot of charm when you play it right. So does 2nd Edition. Third Edition turned it into a tabletop mini game (which is where D&D came from originally, so in that sense it's a throwback--it has a weird history).

I don't even know what engine they're using now, but it looks like they're going back to the old Basic DnD boxed set concept.

See, that didn't really bother me much. 1920s Berlin cabaret culture (or for that matter, modern theatre culture) is as gay as a tree full of monkeys, so it doesn't clash.
But it grinds my gears when they take a not-previously-gay character and turn him into a left-handed Samoan lesbian or something.

Like I said Baum was closer to us than to the libs. Emerald City only appeared green because there was a law making you keep green-shaded glasses over your eyes the entire time you were in the city.
It's also pretty humorous how Baum goes from each setting describing the green this and green that, having already let you know they were only green because of the glasses.

NO ONE is stopping Hollywood from doing this. Make an all LGBT one called "The Wiz of Gays" like there was an all black "The Wiz", or an all drag queen "Wizard of Cock." Have at it. Just don't advertise it to kids. But they can't help themselves.

"Many HBCUs, but specifically the “Black Ivy League” schools were one Brown Paper Bag Schools. Often, the Brown Paper Bag Test has been attributed to being used by Divine 9 Greek Organizations as a barrier to inclusion, but few have discussed that many Black Colleges used the same test in deciding whether to admit students."

Of course, when the new soi Bond franchise inevitably flops, us conservative toxic males will be to blame.
Which is kinda true. As a conservative "toxic" male, I don't want to watch some nancy-boy Bond getting in touch with his deeper feelings. But nor does the decidedly non-toxic Ms quantum.
These idiots don't understand that a lot of women really like the strong silent Bond played by Daniel Craig. I wouldn't be surprised if his movies (before the last one) were more popular with the ladies than the gents.

Dorothea will also go trans and become Domingo. All of them will murder the Grand Wizard of Oz, the only white male in the film. Then all the munchkins will gather around at the public library to watch Domingo suck her own ladydick, and they will tell him how strong and brave she is.

In the late '70s, the "Gay Bob" doll (friend of Mattel's Barbie, I guess) made the scene. My sister and I (both kids) made a detour to the Wedge and Racket in Chapel Hill to see him and confirm his "limp wrist," a touted feature.

The book it was based on was ok. The musical was a not so subtle bash on Bush and the war on terror. I'm glad that Avenue Q robbed it of a Tony, though the creators of that went on to try and ruin culture in other ways, like joining with Disney.
Posted by: LizLem at September 30, 2022 06:43 PM (+mkOR)
Disney also needs to stay thre hell away from Manga/Anime. We've seen them ruin it already everytime a company tries to adapt one, because they just see it as a product to bill down to its lowest common stupidity (Cowboy Bebop) They'll throw 4 shitty writers who have never seen a series or understand the way these shows work, and start ruining it's characters too. My only hope is if they do start targeting series they go for these crappy figgity little boy Shounen series, and stay away from the classics with deep storylines and good character development.

For those who are not familiar, transformers are genderless machines. They literally don't reproduce that way.
Except for Arcee, who was given an involuntary sex-change by a mad scientist. She is rather exceptional not happy about it. I could actually see the character becoming something of a mascot for the detransitioner community. Which would be both funny and horrifying all at the same time...

Hurricane Ian Re-Energizes Over Ocean and Slams Into South Carolina Coast
It just made landfall again in South Carolina, now as a category 1 hurricane.
AccuWeather meteorologists warned that despite being rated lower on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale than when it slammed into Florida with deadly consequence, Ian will still pack a punch and unleash life-threatening impacts as it pushes inland into Friday night. "Ian's structure is similar to that of a powerful nor'easter, with most of the storm's rain and wind focused to the north and west of the center," AccuWeather Hurricane Expert Dan Kottlowski said. "But, make no mistake, Ian will hit with the force of a hurricane in the Carolinas, especially along the upper half of the South Carolina coast."It might not be as disastrous but it won't be any kind of fun for South Carolinians. Note they're predicting "extreme" storm damage between Charleston and Myrtle Beach, with 10-15 foot storm surges:

I'm reminded of some hurricane that came through about six years ago. One friend posted on a work chat a picture of a child's plastic chair on its side with the text, "We will rebuild."
That's how I've felt about every hurricane that's come through Charleston since I've moved here. Not to diminish the actual damage that happened in Florida, but SC seems lucky when it comes to hurricanes since Hugo.

Even if everyone’s unconventional ordnance remains blessedly inert, however, Putin’s annexation play has already crossed a historic red line. Yoking a neighboring population and subsuming its territory into your own by force reestablishes the legitimacy of conduct that was properly anathematized by the wars of the 20th century.
Now do East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights, Noah.
I supported Israel's annexation of East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights, so I'm not going to pretend that annexation is some unspeakable war crime.

I agree completely. He was a huge target for mockery and satire, but here's the thing. If you want to do good satire and poke fun at something, then you have to like it at least a little. If all you have is hate for the target, then that's all you'll put out there.
Dana Carvey's George Bush was partly so funny and effective because he liked George Bush. Blazing Saddles is so effective because Mel Brooks liked westerns. These guys have nothing but hate for their targets so it ends up bitter, nasty, and not funny.

After hundreds of years of religious wars and brutality, everyone in Europe got together and said "look this sucks and is not helping anyone, let's just agree that its wrong to invade other countries just because you don't like how they do things". Almost all of our ideas of just war, international law, and the existence of national boundaries came from this time period and it was much much better after that for a while.
Now everyone wants to ball that up and throw it away, going back to the VERY bad old days. And yes, I blame the War on Terror for being part of that.

================
The Treaty of Westphalia in 1648 instituted the era of the nation state. Arguably, it ended petty wars in favor of very large ones but also instituted the idea that wars must be waged to minimize effects on the citizenry rather than accentuating them. It is a peculiarly Western notion from a particular time and place (Age of Reason).

First they let the actors jaw about politics instead of just selling their new movies and talking about their pets or family; then they started inviting them to spew politics, then the hosts and their writers abandoned comedy to push their ideals. I don't understand how it can appeal much even to their fellow commie travelers.

I don't see the latest years as morally transformative - Europe and the Med in the time when Rome was all powerful was peaceful enough and once that power waned it was time to rebuild the walls around every town. The only thing keeping Europe from warring with each other now were the big boys keeping everyone in line with bribes or threats or police actions and pretending otherwise has led to the West forgetting the realities of politics and diplomacy.
So now we have nations with great power acting like 13 year olds instead of adults.

Hurricanes come to die in Pennsylvania. Dumping trillions of gallons of water in our rivers. We're #2 in historic flood damage. There are already traffic stopping saw horses at the end of my street because cars will go way underwater if they're not stopped beforehand. Temporary stop signs in position at intersections where lights are bound to fail when the electricity inevitably goes out.
Prediction is for four days of rain to come. No prayers for me, but perhaps for the people in the flood zones that took a hit last year and still haven't recovered. Imagine rivers flowing 30 feet or more above usual and living 15 feet above them. Decades of zoning regulations to try to contain stormwater all doing little except keeping lawyers busy fighting them. Because preventing poor people from purchasing land in flood zones is racist.

Just war is actually a concept from Republican Rome and likely copied from there. They always liked to have a good reason to fight in their own defense, and since they were continually at war they got very good at bending the situation to justify what they kinda wanted to do.

----------------------------------
Once a nation starts basing its actions on making others do their bidding, conflict is baked into the cake. Often, the nation initiating any such conflict based on wooly headed notions of 'collective rights' of this or that group eventually comes to rue the day as the losers survive to fight again--with the added incentive of grudge match politics. That is why the era of grabbing other people's land via force pretty much is not compatible with the idea of nation-states. Worked all right when the peasants did not really care who ruled them.

If it doesn't break up, it will lead to the other kind of war, where the government sends in troops to repress unruly subjects. Look at the way the EU treats Poland/Hungary for not playing ball, and to a lesser extent how they drove England to Brexit.
Peace/Order/Tolerance/Negotiation comes from a mindset, not the size of the country. Our nation had only one civil war because we had a lot of common heritage and ideas and ways to agreeably come to a common solution most can accept, and the elites had a practical sense of what bad stuff can happen if you don't act civilized.
The EU has none of those advantages and like us, has an elite that is increasingly fixated on their impractical ideas and has no sense of responsibility to the citizens or fear of the consequences of uncivilized actions on their part.

Sure, but they were all *justified*! Says so right on the forms they filled out.
But ironically, post Punic Wars a lot of kinglet states gave their countries to Rome to avoid local civil wars as inheritances. The Roman tax farmers where bad, but they saw civil wars as worse.

First Trans Army Officer Indicted For Attempting to Give Confidential Medical Records of Fellow Soldiers to Russians
Another historic "first," but one the media does not seem very interested in trumpeting.
Also, his wife was indicted. Who is a university professor. At Johns Hopkins. The university that pioneered transgender surgery. And sex-changes for children.
The Army's first openly transgender officer was indicted Thursday on charges of trying to provide American soldiers' medical information to the Russian government. A federal grand jury in Baltimore indicted Jamie Lee Henry and his wife, Anna Gabrielian, on charges of conspiracy and wrongful disclosure of individually identifiable health information. According to prosecutors, the couple met last month with an undercover FBI agent posing as a Russian diplomat and offered medical information from Fort Bragg, the home of the military's elite Delta Force.
Gabrielian, an anesthesiologist at Johns Hopkins University, told the undercover agent during an Aug. 17 meeting that "she was motivated by patriotism toward Russia to provide any assistance she could to Russia, even if it meant being fired or going to jail," according to the indictment. Gabrielian gave the undercover agent medical information on a spouse of someone who works in the Office of Naval Intelligence, and "highlighted" a medical issue that "Russia could exploit." Henry, a doctor at Fort Bragg, gave the undercover agent information on five patients at the military facility, according to the indictment, first reported by the Baltimore Banner. Henry has been praised as a pioneer of the transgender movement after coming out as transgender in an interview with BuzzFeed News in 2015. Henry claimed to be the first known active-duty Army officer to come out as transgender, and the first to legally change their name while in service.

The 1st openly transgender officer commits treason and the DOJ and media misgender her and none of the major news orgs seem interested in reporting any of it.

@chadfelixg I notice there are very few articles about the 1st Trans Officer giving info to Russia and its been over an hour...
Odd.

The article refers to Henry, who is claimed to be the first openly transgender officer, as 'he' and 'husband.' They never mention the trans identity at all.https://t.co/3cxRKxsE2L

@chadfelixg It matters if the government and media are attempting to protect the LGBT community from scrutiny by disguising the gender identity of a government person charged with wrongdoing.
Strangely the DOJ is using male pronouns and 'husband' to describe Henry, despite her officially changing her name and gender on military documents in 2015.

Now this is what you call "trans-erasure." Why are Twitter's leftwing allies allowed to engage in trans-erasure for their own political purposes? Is this the new rule? You're the sex you claim you are until you commit a heinous crime, and then the government and media pretend you're not trans in order to protect the trans community? If that's the case, why do they insist on pretending the obvious male pedophiles of antifa are "women"?
Sorry liberals.

You don't get to celebrate Jamie Lee Henry as an icon of LGBTQ equality when she comes out as the 1st openly trans officer and then call her 'Mr. Henry' when she commits treason. pic.twitter.com/lI1jQvvpdN
