Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Wednesday Overnight Open Thread (3/16/22) Lite EditionQuote I “It’s a very large settlement, so it sends a message to Georgia that if you violate somebody’s civil rights, the NAACP and civil rights attorneys will hold you to task and protect those young peoples’ rights.”Gerald Griggs, an attorney who works with the NAACP Quote II “Well, I mean, first of all, if you look at our fiscal policy, it is true. And amazingly, a lot of people don’t even know this, that the deficit has gone down and down by a remarkable amount. So, I think part of it is an expression of that. I think also part of it is pointing to the fact that some of the investments that we make help with inflation. I mean, that’s definitely true with the infrastructure investments, right, because we know how infrastructure is related to supply chain, supply chain is related to inflation." Sec. of Transportation Pete Buttigieg What does the current regime have in common with The ONT? Lack of math. Quote III “We are opposed to the idea — and this, I think, is an existential part of the debate — that Israel should be preserved as a state for the Jewish people,” Amnesty International USA’s Executive Director Paul O’Brien Multiple owners of full-size General Motors trucks and SUVs built between 2015 and 2019 have banded together to file a lawsuit against GM over paint they say fails years too soon. They claim GM "knew, or should have known" it was selling vehicles plagued with what a dealer reportedly described as "bad paint" problems, and seek compensation in the form of repairs, replacement, or buybacks. Filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida, Riley et al., vs. General Motors LLC claims paint on certain GM SUVs and pickup trucks from less than decade ago is liable to "microblister, delaminate, peel, fade, and bubble" all "without any external or environmental influence." They suspect flaws in GM's paint, clear coat, or application process are to blame, and want GM to remedy the problem. Pretty pricey wheels to have that kind of issue if true.

If you are the head of this BLM organization you can allegedly say, Black Lives Money matters to me. Monica Cannon-Grant, a Black Lives Matter (BLM) leader in Boston, and her husband, Clark Grant, were hit with an 18-page federal indictment for fraud and conspiracy on Tuesday. Federal authorities allege that Cannon-Grant and Grant have defrauded a large sum of donor dollars out of over $1 million in grants and donations given to their nonprofit, Violence in Boston, which aims to help violence survivors in the city. Cannon-Grant, a prominent BLM organizer, was arrested outside of her Beantown home Tuesday and declined to comment at the courthouse after being released on personal recognizance, meaning she'll remain free without bail but with a written promise to appear in court.18 page indictment and a signature bond? Sweet deal. I bet that's what Roger Stone thinks. Tesla has a complicated relationship with customers who pay to test the beta version of its “Full Sell Driving” software. Often, these people are diehard fans, keen to promote the company’s prowess and show off its new driver assist features. Sometimes, though, they overshare — posting videos that show exactly when and how Tesla’s software gets it wrong. When the person sharing these clips also works for Tesla, things are even more complicated. John Bernal, a former Tesla employee who reviewed the company’s FSD Beta software on his YouTube channel AI Addict says he was fired by the company last month after posting a video that showed his Tesla hitting a bollard. A regular Micktravaganza tonight. DAYTONA BEACH, Fl. — Police in Daytona Beach released video Monday of a motorcycle crash that shut down a drawbridge over the weekend. According to police, the crash happened around 10 a.m. Saturday when a motorcyclist ran through one of the traffic arms as it was lowering for the bridge to rise. A second Genius Award Winner. A wild video has emerged out of Cambridge, Ontario, showing four minutes of complete chaos beginning with a two-car collision and concluding with a confused naked man pinned junk-down in the snow by firefighters. The incident occurred on Saturday in the area of Jamieson Parkway and Lardner Street, captured by a Hespeler man's home security system. The nature of the impact becomes a bit clearer when a completely naked dude emerges from the white Volkswagen Tiguan SUV, fumbling to cover himself with a towel as he stumbles dazed from the scene. And if you can believe it, the situation only got stranger from there. Keep your stick on the ice............... Terri Halliday is a disabled U.S. military veteran who lives in the 8th Ward. On Saturday, her home alert system announced movement outside of her front door. "I began watching on my phone, and I saw a mail delivery truck," she told the Tribune-Democrat. "The next thing I know, I see him coming up my steps with a snow shovel." Halliday, who has had one leg amputated, had left the shovel near her door so that she can access it to clear her deck. She can't shovel the steps, however. "He shoveled all the steps and cleared off my front deck. I was shocked but grateful," she said. Halliday said they had never spoken to each other before, aside from a quick hello once or twice when she was at the end of her driveway in her power chair Tonight's ONT has been brought to you by Untold Stories. ![]() Notice: Posted with permission by the Ace Media Empire and AceCorp, LLC.

It's interesting how Ukraine and COVID parallel each other.
In both cases, there are conflicting sides, bad actors, a media that parrots official talking points, a definitive attempt to silence opposition and a Department of Truth quick to promote proper speak and denounce as traitors those who disagree.

I have an internet friend in Belarus. She contacted me because she saw a picture of my German Shepherd on my blog. She had rescued a blind GSD from the streets and he looked like my dog. People couldn't afford to feed their dogs and had to just turn them loose.
She seemed like a decent person. Married with a teenage boy and girl, worked in IT. She mentioned that the daughter needed a swimsuit, so I sent a couple, fairly modest. She managed to have a friend bring a package for me to the US. It had a woven tea set (napkins and a runner for the teapot). And a doll that I think is made of flax. She did send me a Christmas card a few years later with pictures of her family. I find it hard to hate the people in Belarus, although I'm sure that will be demanded of us.

Biden calling Putin a war criminal was not helpful - the goal is to get him to climb down, not to keep escalating. Putin is very aware what happened to Gaddafi. Even better was Blinken mocking the death of Putin's older brother in the Siege of Leningrad. Posted by: The ARC of History! at March 16, 2022 11:15 PM (I2/tG) read through that twitter thread by Sushko, interesting to get some kind of view into what the Russians may be thinking. Still, I saw one huge flaw in their mindset; they seem to assume that Biden and the rest will back off if they raise the states. Intelligent people would do this; but intensely stupid people never know when to back off, and they keep escalating and escalating until its too late. I think that if Russia sets off a tactical nuke, Biden and Co. will set off 5 just to show 'em. And so on and so forth. Posted by: Tom Servo at March 16, 2022 11:33 PM (evAgx) 351

Venice was pretty formidable for a time. But...Italy as a whole was not an effective military force. Their colonial war in Ethiopia was spectacularly bad as an example. Note, one argument for their poor performance in WWII is that they had refitted their military in the 30s...but then that doesn't explain how they almost lost to Ethiopia.

Assume Minsk getting nuked was from Hackett's book, meaning Minsk was in the USSR - and a key military city, though for conventional land operations, not nukes.
At least in nuking Minsk very little historical or architectural value would be lost. It was far from the most abundant in those even before 1941, but the Germans' little visit left barely a stone upon a stone (or, Soviet Union, so, barely a crookedly stack brick upon a crookedly stacked brick).

ARC, we understood the reason for it - it was the same for the shoddiness and visual mediocrity of virtually everything - but it was a ubiquitous and easily tracked thing.
As we walked from our plane, between the painted lines, at Sheremyetyevo, there were young uncomfortable looking uniformed (ill-fitting uniforms) KGB border guard guys (black shoulder-boards) every 20 feet or so. Literally the moment we got inside the terminal, one of the group, who was quite a character, turned around and said "we're afraid of THESE guys???". That sort of set the tone.

508 It was the fact that we never saw a post-Revolutionary brick wall that was laid straight that amazed us.
Workers and firms had daily brick-laying quotas. Laying the bricks straight gave you no extra credit towards meeting the quotas. Posted by: The ARC of History! at March 17, 2022 12:25 AM (I2/tG) you remind me how amazing it was to be able to visit England and see some of the old places. We were in a rural area, touring a magnificent old Cathedral, in the town surrounding there were these marvelous stone walls running for miles, 8 feet tall, 2 feet thick, absolutely perfect. We asked the local guides and they replied "oh yes, those were all built by Bishop Leicester in the 1400's; and you'll see the stonework is a little different in the top 2 feet. That part was added by Bishop Newcome during the reign of Elizabeth 1; and they've stood unchanged ever since." The people there take them for granted; they're just part of the landscape now.

LOL. Once in St. Petersburg about ten years ago, I took a picture from Nevsky Prospect looking down one of the canals. All the buildings were brightly painted, there were colorful advertising signs, the passersby were generally wearing bright clothing, etc. I found a Soviet-era picture, taken from the same spot - all the buildings were drably painted, there were of course no advertising signs, and people were dressed drably.

If you like history told jovially with a lot of English wit and put-downs, I highly recommend The Rest Is History podcast on Spotify. Authors Tom Holland* and Dominic Sandbrook deliver some very fun history along with many authors of new works on various and sundry topics. Absolutely outstanding work by these two gents.
*Author of "Dominion", about Christian influence over world culture in the last 2000 years, "Persian Fire", about the Persian Empire, "Rubicon", about Rome's fall from Republic to Empire, and "In The Shadow Of The Sword", about Islam's rise. Holland is an atheist/agnostic who visited a Yazidi village in Northern Iraq that had barely survived ISIS's depredations, including mass crucifixions of Yazidi men and boys. He was struck by how in the West, the cross is a symbol of victory whereas in Islam it is still an instrument of torture as it was in Rome. That led him to investigate and write about how Christian outlooks and thoughts underlie so much of Western culture, even things that are not considered Christian or even religious. Hence his latest book Dominion. Fantastic author who is NOT Spiderman. Posted by: Sharkman at March 17, 2022 12:44 AM (B1Vad) 535

Me: First, MiladyJo and I are going to watch the final (in production order) Star Trek, where Shat gets to show off his feminine side. Trek season 3 really did not deserve a season 4, sad to say." Tom Servo: what a pathetic episode for TOS to end on, that one always made me cringe. Although I favor TOS over NextGen, I gotta applaud NextGen for the way they ended it - the two part "All Good Things" episode was one of the best series ending pieces done in any genre. I rate best ending of all as FarScape, with the miniseries "Peacekeeper Wars". Wrapped almost almost every loose end of the entire series, and did it well. TNG and FarScape: Peacekeeper - two series that we never watched the end of ... (of which..? anyway. If Kirk can split an infinitive, I can dangle a participle.) Also never watched the end of B5. If I can't get to everything in this life, can we watch re-runs in the afterlife? (Beats standing on clouds and strumming lyres?) We followed Trek with re-watching Resident Alien 4-5 - have to re-watch 6 & 7 before season finale that ran tonight. RA blows me awaaaaay. Wait, am I still up? 'night.

The person who thought to put the sign there and the person who made it necessary for that person to think of putting a sign there both have serious problems.

What normal person wouldn't dream of another in a trebuchet after filling their bowels with gasoline. And lighting it like we used to light farts.
We've all done it, nothing to be ashamed of. LOL Posted by: gourmand du jour at March 17, 2022 02:04 AM (jTmQV) 595
Miklos.
The TxMoMeet IS a designated smoking area. The "non-smokers" seek refuge, like so many martens scurrying to cover whilst the Great White Owl flies top cover over the affair. We do tend to have an abundance of cigars, present and accounted for. Both on the firing lines, and immediately after the chow lines are exhausted and sated.

Hey it wasn't ME that imagined that don't stick this up your butt sign on a gas pump nozzle. It then became a thought puzzle of how much gas could be contained and then what one could do with a full upper and lower intestine full of gas. It was just one thing after another your honor.

Look my counselor says that speaking out my inner thoughts is much better than letting them fester inside until I feel I have to express them in real life.
He says it's been an interesting case but he's gotten an offer that pays a lot of money and that's far away from where I live. (why that's important I don't understand). I told them it's okay. When I get released I'll be sure to look them up. And not to worry about any new address or phone number changes as I've got a tap on his cell phone. Well back to the drawing board.

Well, I just printed off some off-road vehicle permits for Az State Trust Lands and a portion of Tonto National Forest. Ordered and paid for on-line. The Peon Jeep is now deemed ready for an off-road excursion. Four-inch chassis lift, comprising springs, shocks, and new control arms. Aluminum wheels with more backspace, giving it a wider stance, and 31" tires. Don't have spare tire on the roof yet, or the Jack-All strapped to the roof rack. All in due course.
Headed out to Tortilla Flat tomorrow. Wish me luck. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at March 17, 2022 02:40 AM (P3gRi) 619
"Nothing about our CIA, FBI or any other worthless Alphabet Fed agency surprises or shocks me anymore."
Uhh.. yeah me neither but I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume you are not familiar with that source there you linked. Just sayin' Most Americans are clueless about who fought for who in Eastern Europe during WW2, and why. Although those most familiar tend to be leftists, who have an interest in deliberately obfuscating things. Lots of areas that had been under Soviet rule would throw the devil himself a fucking tickertape parade if he rolled into town and kicked the Russians out. I have *zero* fucks to give about any non-German persons or groups there fighting the Soviets as long as they didn't participate in crimes against humanity themselves. History fact to put some of this into perspective: some of the Nuremburg guards were SS units from the Baltic nations. This "Ukrainian nazi" stuff generally varies from nonsense to irrelevant, even in the case of organizations that can reasonably be traced back to WW2.

Posted by: somedood - skull mountain sherpa at March 17, 2022 02:58 AM (P+D9B) Ukrainian Nazi varies from nonsense to irrelevant? Huh. Ukraine has a rather complicated history with Russia/The Soviet Union. Kyiv (or however the fuck they're spelling it now) is the spiritual home of the Rus who became, well, Russia. The Ukraine was very much a part of Russia for a long time. When the Soviets took over, a lot of 'independent' republics were created, including The Ukraine. Stalin's forced famine in the Ukraine in the 1920s-early 30s led to many Ukrainians welcoming the Wehrmacht as liberating heroes. Of course, the Nazis couldn't stop being Nazis and quickly ruined that good will. But there were quite a few Ukrainians who, either willingly or forced, took part in the Holocaust, being shooters at the pits or guards in the extermination camps. Ukrainian Nazis were -- and are -- a real thing. Posted by: RickZ at March 17, 2022 03:22 AM (ldL4g) 623

Both the West and the communists used fascists and Nazis for their purposes after WWII. In Western Germany some became respectable people and their past was forgotten for a while, in Eastern Germany some became Stasi agents and informers.
In my country, Romania, the communists initially accepted former fascists in their ranks to rapidly increase their numbers, no questions asked, while the West sent agents to organize the anti-communist resistance in the mountains and some of them, but not all, were fascists. Nowadays, there are neo-Nazis both in Ukraine and in Russia. Ukraine finds them useful to fight in their war, while the ones in Russia are useful to Putin, even in the occupation of Donbas, which he wanted carried out by "volunteers", with as little official involvement as possible. It's unfortunate that this happens, but the West is not alone to blame. Putin, like his Soviet predecessors (and like communists) calls all his enemies Nazis. Some are, some are not, and in the meantime there are neo-Nazis on his side as well. There were neo-Nazi preparation camps in Russia and they were definitely not organized by the CIA.

Lies, damn lies, and statista! The point to draw out from those numbers of police homicides is that Hispanics make up twice the population of Black's yet still account for half as many deaths in police custody, for lack of a better term. Maybe all cops are Latin(x)?
