Tomorrow is Labor Day. Here is how it became a national holiday.
Labor Day Only Became a National Holiday Thanks to a Deadly Railroad Workers' Strike
We all enjoy a three-day weekend, but let's not forget the people who died to make it happen. Labor Day has always felt a little bit like Senior Skip Day from high school. A day off? Just because we labor? Makes you think we should have these three-day weekends year-round. But like so many American traditions, scratch the surface of this innocuous federal holiday and you’ll find rampant capitalism and bloodshed. In the forgotten labor history of America, transportation has always played a big role. Decades before the UAW dragged the most powerful companies in the world to the bargaining table, there were the railroads and all the unions associated with their operation. The Pullman Railway Strike of 1894 would see 250,000 people walk off the job; federal troops broke the strike, with 30 people left dead. The reasons why those workers went on strike would be familiar to many of us today. Case in point, this political cartoon from a Chicago labor newspaper, which might as well have run in 2022:

Twelve individuals have been arrested and 30 are under investigation in Italy for having invented the “Antarctic Theocratic State of San Giorgio” with which they swindled about 700 people by promising nationality in order to be able to pay fewer taxes, have passports, land, and even receive noble titles. The operation, called “The island that does not exist”, was launched by the Police of Catanzaro in the region of Calabria in April 2021 after a search of a property that had been indicated as the diplomatic headquarters of the fictitious state. The criminal network made believe that this nation existed with autonomous sovereignty and privileges “by virtue of the Antarctic Treaty of 1959” and took care of the procedures for granting citizenship to whoever requested it, in exchange for between 200 and 1000 euros.
On August 30, an unidentified delivery driver for Amazon saw smoke rising from a home and called 911. Although there were no people in the home at the time, three Boston terrier dogs were present – and thanks to her quick thinking they were all saved. "During a structure fire yesterday, 3 puppies were saved and revived from smoke inhalation," the Columbia County Fire Rescue said in a Facebook post. "Thank you to the Amazon driver who noticed the smoke and called 911. Since the homeowner was not at home at the time, she saved the home and the puppies lives!"

Amazon is reportedly scrapping plans to build dozens of warehouse facilities across the United States amid slowed sales growth.
The consulting firm MWPVL says that the online retail giant is either closing or abandoning plans to open 42 facilities across the country totaling almost 25 million square feet of usable space, Bloomberg reported.

How false is the flag?
An extremist, white nationalist hate group marched through the streets of Indianapolis on Saturday afternoon while chanting, carrying signs and beating drums.
Video given to CBS4 taken by a witness downtown shows around 50 white males dressed in khakis, dark shirts and face coverings roaming the city streets. The extremist group Patriot Front has claimed they were the organizers of the march on their account on the social media site Telegram.
Accompanied by drums and banners, the marchers could be heard yelling “America for Sale” and “Reclaim America,” which Wikipedia lists as the Patriot Front’s main motto.

Here in Raleigh we just had a bit of a stink, one of the college kids was busted for evading arrest. Seems our little miscreant had a fake ID (side note, the general consensus was he must have really f'd up to get snagged for a fake ID since its so common), which is usually a ticket and fine, but then he tried to just walk away from the cops issuing the citation.
Of course the usual RAAAAACIST!!! charges were leveled against the cops...

A movie I love is "The End" with Burt Reynolds and Dom Deluise. Burt breaks Dom out of a mental institution so he will help him commit suicide, so Dom keeps trying to kill him but Reynolds keeps changing his mind.
So at one point he's going to push him out the third story and Reynolds says "i dunno, I don't think it's tall enough". He steps aside just as Dom tried to push him off - Dom falls out the window, and then is laying flat on the concrete beneath him. And he yells up "YOU'RE RIGHT IT"S NOT TALL ENOUGH!!!" before he passes out.

Why, Trump denounced Philadelphia, Pennsylvania's largest city! That's sure to lose votes in Pennsylvania, obviously!
A well-funded independent candidate for Oregon governor referred to Portland as "The City of Roaches", a play on Portland's slogan: "The City of Roses".
All the Usual Suspects were outraged by this, ignoring that 85% of Oregon's population doesn't live in Portland, and a lot of the 85% don't like Portland very much. Running against Portland in Oregon is probably a vote-getter, just like running against Philadelphia in Pennsylvania is probably a vote-getter.

However, turning the writing of the new constitution over to the Latin American equivalent of Mary Cloggenstein of Brattleboro, Vermont and her friends turned out to be an error.

I've read that, and also recall reading that while in the Army, U.S. Grant was considered the best poker player any of his fellow officers had seen. He was willing to take insane risks and never showed even the slightest hint of emotion, no matter what he was playing.

Isoroku Yamamoto was assigned to the Japanese embassy in Washington for a couple of years in the 1930's and traveled around the US a lot.
One of the reasons why he thought Japan couldn't beat the United States is that the open, friendly American naval officers that he associated with turned into the most scheming, duplicitous, expert liars imaginable when you sat them down at a poker table. Yamamoto thought that the US would come up with some very nasty surprises in wartime.

40% of transgender adults have attempted suicide.
50% of trans males reported a suicide attempt in the past year. 42% of nonbinary teens reported some type of self-harm in the previous year. Less than 10% of cisgender males and 17% of cisgender females (those whose gender identity matches the gender that is most often correlated with their biological sex) reported suicidal behaviors.

Having worked on both, I can attest that the Bug is more maintainable, hence a lower maintenance hour to flight hour ratio, which is eventually the 'cats downfall. Carrier aviators will be familiar with the term "Tomcat Creep" in which broken Tomcats eventually fill the hangar bays, especially towards the end of cruise.
Tom was still a much better looking airplane in the wind though, IMO. And faster. With a better radar. And longer range.

Tag wire. The fine wire used to attach manila paper tags to stuff. If you really want to get fancy, go to a welding supply outfit, and get a set of torch tip cleaners. they are very cheap. While you are there, get a couple tanks, regulators, hoses, and torches. Because you know you want to.
Seriously, though. Welding and cutting with an oxy-acetylene torch is a trip. Everybody should try it. Takes fine motor skills, not physical strength. Being able to add to, or take away from a piece of metal is very empowering.

In the 2000s after the Great LANTIRN Caper, any Tomcat could deliver smart ordinance. Just the A models could not deliver JDAMs. The RIO's TID gave way to the PTID that was this honking great screen that gave the RIO almost a god's eye view of the target. F-15E Strike Eagle WSOs could discern the building they were bombing, the F-14's PTID allowed the RIO to literally select the window to drop the bomb through.
The last combat deployment of the F-14D saw one squadron deploy ROVER which allowed them to share real time imagery with those on the ground they were supporting. Those last two squadrons with their 22 F-14Ds saw better than 90% serviceabilty.

I fed the feral kitten today, out in the barn. It came running when I showed up, and went for the food dish. I reached down, picked it up and held it close for a few seconds. Purring like no tomorrow. Set it back down by the food, and the eating commenced. I think this kitten is about 9/10 domesticated, now.

Side note, one of those two squadrons (VF-31, appropriately named the Tomcatters) was my first squadron.
Serviceability rate is a fun game. A partially mission capable aircraft (meaning it can leave the deck if it needs to even if it can't perform all of the missions) counts as just as serviceable as a fully mission capable jet. I have no doubt that the high serviceability rate on that last cruise was due to the surplus of available parts because the other squadrons had been transitioned to the E/F Hornet (which IMO should carry a different designation due to it being a completely different, although visually similar, airframe).

I once left a pickup truck unlocked in Memphis, and nothing bad happened to it. Of course it was an ancient rusty 62 (this was in 1990). People mostly steal cars just to ride around in or to strip for parts, and no one wanted to be seen in this beast and it didn't look to have any parts worth stealing.
IIRC I even left the keys in it, although all you needed to start it was a flat blade screwdriver. I don't think I'd try that with anything I own today though.

I came close to taking a job in Raleigh about a year ago. Very tempting, and my involvement would have likely been both a significant strategic shift in the industry and a yuge personal career move, but the whole "governor and lt gov suing each other over how bad the state should be locked down" was kind of a big sign that NC has some issues. No intention of returning to a situation where I'm trapped in an apartment and wondering every day if today is gonna be Looting Day.

AG I too went to UNC-CH from high school in SoCal. But that was twenty(cough) yrs ago. But I had family in NC and had visited a lot. Glad I stayed in NC but miss a lot about Cali.

We've put up 119 jars total as of last night. No canning run tonight. I've got a full load of jars in the dishwasher now for next week.
As I've mentioned, my mother has probably around 200 jars total at her house. We're making a dent in her jar stash. She had more quarts than pints, and we've just about cleaned out her pints, but many more quarts of there.
Tonight, we found an interesting one. Very pale blue Ball Perfect Mason. I've been reading some stuff on dating these things. This one has a mold code of "9" on the bottom. I'm thinking this thing may date to the 1910s.

Adrian Monck, managing director of the WEF and former journalist, criticized politicians who questioned the globalist body’s policy proposals, particularly in Canada, which has seen a national debate about the WEF take hold over the last year amid the pandemic and unfolding the energy crisis.
“Sadly, Canada was one of those places where…there’s a vulnerability to disinformation. It’s an open society. And…that particular strand of disinformation went into the mainstream,” Monck reportedly told CBC Radio’s The House in a Saturday interview.
“Canada should be talking about a lot of things right now. It shouldn’t really be talking about the World Economic Forum based here in Geneva.”

There was an article in the BMJ, from over a year ago, which I just stumbled on a week or two ago. They found that about 20% of the published medical research papers were outright fraud. I'm not talking dubious or questionable, that sort of thing, I'm talking outright fraud. Just made shit up.
20 fucking percent is pure fraud. The entire system rewards fraud and punishes calling out the fraud.
At this point, as far as the medical-industrial complex goes, assume everything they say is pure bullshit until *proven* otherwise.

Desmet: 85% of academic research papers have serious flaws. Only about 5% of his colleagues wanted to hear that. They covered up their ears, and went "Nah,nah, nah, I can't hear you!".
Interestingly, Desmet used the '79 Iranian Revolution as a textbook example of mass formation. Iran was not backwards then, they were quite "Westernized" and all that. But they went full mass formation with the Ayatollah and that shit.

Desmet: Mass formations are as old as humanity itself, but only in relatively modern times have the become as spectacular as they have. All totalitarian states are the result, maybe the inevitable result of mass formation.
He goes on at some length about the differences between the modern totalitarian state, and the old dictatorships/tyrants. There is a big difference.
The French Revolution was a mass formation. The RUssian Revolution and the Nazis were mass formations.

As I've read, the "Rat Pack (tm)" was dubbed by Lauren Bacall. Bogie was the original leader of the Rat Pack, 1.0 you might call it.
They used to fly out of LA to Vegas, then come back home on an early morning flight. They all dragged themselves back in one morning, and Lauren Bacall observed, "You all are pack of god-damned rats!"

You know, as far as the Golden Age of Hollywood "superstar" goes, in the myn's category it's a tie between Cary Grant and Bogie with me. Very different the two of them, but they tie. The Trans-Atlantic accent, which Cary Grant spoke on screen. Sounds like a pomous Upper Class Twit on anyone else, but with Cary Grant, that's the way he talked. Cool.
Bogie, of course was Bogie. Add Dino in there for a triumvirate, 'cause Dino is the King of Cool.
