aceofspadeshq at gee mail.com CBD: cbd at cutjibnewsletter.com Buck: buck.throckmorton at protonmail.com joe mannix: mannix2024 at proton.me MisHum: petmorons at gee mail.com J.J. Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | THE MORNING RANT: Please Respect My VerbsThis whole pronoun thing was kind of confusing to me at first. Language exists to foster communication, and having people create their own unique grammar and then demand that others speak their special language is weird. From a CNN article (linked further below) comes this interesting first sentence: There are not actually multiple Demi Lovatos being referenced here. (Or would that be Demis Lovato?) She just identifies as plural. Or something like that. But I am now totally cool with all this, and here’s why – I am unique and special too, so I now have my own verb conjugations! Please respect my verbs! This is real simple. Because I have such a rich abundance of interests and situational personalities, I will need for everyone to always use plural verbs when talking to me or about me. For example, if griping about me writing again about one of my favorite topics at Ace of Spades HQ, you might say, “Oh no, Buck are writing about Principled Tree Traders again.” We’ll get to more examples of how to properly use my verbs later in this piece, but first, I’d like to link to this very helpful CNN piece about pronouns. How to get people’s pronouns right and what to do if you slip up This inspires me. Just differently. If Demi can have plural pronouns, then I can have plural verbs. I’m starting to get it. While “my verbs” might be unrelated to my gender, I am still a very special person who is uniquely me. My emotional and psychological sense of my own special identity is such that verbs used by the rest of you are not satisfactory to me. In fact, your verbs are repressing me. And the same goes for me and my verbs! When ignorant bigots continue to use a singular verb when talking about me, even though my verbs are always plural, you are telling me that I am unimportant. Or worse, that I don’t even exist to you. But by the way, I do have special pronouns too. Instead of “he/him” my pronouns are “him/he.” This applies to the reflexive version too, “heself” instead of “himself.” Whenever you would normally use the word “he” when referring to me, you must use the word “him” instead, and vice versa. Grammar snobs might protest that “him” cannot be the subject of a sentence and “he” cannot be the object of the preposition. Sorry, grammar snobs, but that train left the station when our elite media embraced the transgender lobby’s boutique language agenda. So how do you use my pronouns? Here’s an example: “Buck said that him will never buy he-self an electric vehicle.” Now let’s put it all together. Here’s an example of how to talk about me using my verbs and my pronouns. “Have Buck bought he wife an anniversary gift, and do him have a plan if she wants he to consider buying a Tesla?” It’s that easy. Just educate yourself. Well actually, it’s not easy. It’s beyond ridiculous, as is using “they” as a singular pronoun or demanding that people use a non-existent word as someone’s unique pronoun. So let’s make a deal. All of you who reject the pronoun silliness do not have to respect my verbs. But Demi Lovato, CNN, and any other pronoun-pushers may not contact me or communicate with me unless they respect my verbs, and my pronouns. Doing otherwise would be the same as denying my existence. It’s the weekend before Halloween and many of you will be heading to costume parties this weekend. Same here. Ace always hosts a big Halloween party for the co-bloggers at his manor (see picture above.) It’s a blast. JJ called dibs on the Fetterman costume, which pairs up nicely with Mannix’s Frankenstein costume. KT will raid her garden for her costume, dressing up as a scarecrow. CBD will be handing out sous vide treats, of course. Perfessor Squirrel will probably disappear into Ace’s library, but we’ll drag him out when Weasel starts inspecting guns and passing out ammo in preparation for MisHum to lead us out for some moonlight bat hunting. Krakatoa is always the first to leave so he can get up early to post the EMT, but Pixy will zoom in from Australia, a weird place where Halloween is equal to April 30 and blood circles the drain in reverse of how it does in the northern hemisphere. There will be all sorts of fun party games, and we’re all still trying to figure out Weird Dave’s secret when it comes to apple bobbing, since he wins that contest every danged year. As for me, after being instructed to “educate yourself” by an army of EV enthusiasts, I will be in charge of keeping the lights on at the party by using the battery in Ace’s electric Hummer as a backup charger when lightning (or errant bat hunters) knock out the electricity to the house. As always, the highlight of the evening is when Ace slowly emerges from his crypt, and we all start dancing to the Monster Mash. Wish you could be there.Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

If someone tells you that they go by the pronouns “they/them,” for example, and you continue to use “he/him” pronouns for them, it can signal that you believe that transgender, non-binary or intersex people are unimportant, or shouldn’t exist. It is not relevant for me to take part in your imagination figment. No, they don't exist.

Tower of Babel ... God confused their languages ... I guess because the tower was a signal of man becoming his own god .. sort of worshipping the creation, not the creator.
But the evil left is confusing our language to weaken our nation. Just more of the critical theory ... criticize everything, destroy ... with the promise to build back better.

Is Demi Lovato referring to themselves as I and Me? Or is Demi Lovato referring to themselves properly as We and US? Isn't it a crime for they to misgender themselves too?

Weird story out of San Francisco - Paul Pelosi, husband of Nancy Pelosi, was attacked in their house by an assailant with a hammer, and was hospitalized. The assailant was arrested.
So, who did it: 1) A crazed MAGA supporter inspired by the insurrection on January 6th (expect a lot of stories by the media claiming this over the next few hours) 2) Just a random San Francisco home invader, marching into a random multi-millionaire's house 3) Someone in The Family is mad at the Pelosis, and is sending a little message.

The entire Pelosi story makes zero sense and really stretches plausibility. An 80 year old multimillionaire is living alone in a mansion? The Speaker of the House personal residence had no fence, or actual security? Someone breaks in and attacks her husband , severely beating said 80 year old and it’s all sweetness and light from the hospital?

MP4: I wish I lived in that house with the graveyard in its front lawn. That's my kind of place.
We actually do have a graveyard in our front yard. Graves going back to the early part of last century. The Gilstrap family, including Bob who died in a shootout over a few bucks. The two little girls who died in a long-ago January — I imagine the bereaved family standing there in a cold wind on a then-bare hill as their babies are buried. Louis Choteau, stabbed at his trading post down by the river, staggered up to our place and died; his friends buried him where he died. My grandfather tracked down the rock used to mark his grave, and put a cement block around the rock. Several Cherokees from when the Euros could only get into the state by marriage to AmerIndians. Also nearby, tomb of my father, my aunt, and their parents. Not so spooky (as it was to me when young), but fascinating and sad. Remember, friend, as you pass by, As you are now, so once was I. As I am now, so you shall be. Prepare for death and follow me. Posted by: mindful webworker - my YouTube cancellation had grave consequences at October 28, 2022 11:33 AM (TAlNr) 224

Three of them are Karloff’s Frankenstein, The Bride of Frankenstein, and The Mummy.
Posted by: Stephen Price Blair at October 28, 2022 11:25 AM (EXyHK) "The Body Snatchers" is a great Karloff film, and "Bedlam" with Karloff as the evil head of the notorious Bedlam asylum is probably one of Karloff's best acting roles ever. A guilty favorite of mine which I mention from time to time is "The Mask of Fu Manchu" (1932) with Karloff as the Evil Fu Manchu, and Myrna Loy as his wickedly sexual daughter. (obviously pre-code) It's really a terrible movie with a terrible script, but what I love about it is that you have this stinker of a movie with two really great actors in it, and they both decide to just go over the top in every scene they're in. You get the sense that you can almost see them winking at each other saying "hey, get a load of what I'm gonna do next!!!"

Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius, Dreaming of Elsewhere at October 28, 2022 11:36 AM (J2vNu) ========= Whale was a talent, but he sure did love him some camp. Una O'Connor's constant screaming in that and Bride both kind of turn me off a bit (especially Bride). He was the best filmmaker Carl Laemmle, Jr. brought into make movies. There was a reason he was so desperate to get Whale to direct The Mummy (he didn't, it went to a German, former cinematographer who barely spoke English as his first directorial assignment in Hollywood).

Creature is accidentally interesting. The director didn't direct anything underwater (and there's a lot underwater), and the second-unit director who did direct the underwater stuff made the Creature like an innocent and really sympathetic. Everything above water is just monster stuff. It's almost King Kong in a way.
Phantom is more like Topsy Turvy than the original silent horror film. It's more about the opera than the horror. I really like it.

Weird story out of San Francisco - Paul Pelosi, husband of Nancy Pelosi, was attacked in their house by an assailant with a hammer, and was hospitalized. The assailant was arrested.
So, who did it: 1) A crazed MAGA supporter inspired by the insurrection on January 6th (expect a lot of stories by the media claiming this over the next few hours) 2) Just a random San Francisco home invader, marching into a random multi-millionaire's house 3) Someone in The Family is mad at the Pelosis, and is sending a little message. Sort of like Harry Reid and his "exercise equipment".

"Paul Pelosi was attacked with a hammer by someone in his Bay Area home."
-- That reminds me of a scene in an episode of Bob Newhart. The wonderful actor William Daniels (of The Graduate fame) was telling Bob his young son came in one night and hit him in the head with a hammer. Dad says to son, "why did you hit me in the head with a hammer?" Son says, "sorry, Dad, I didn't know you were awake." Try the veal! Posted by: Lady in Black at October 28, 2022 11:44 AM (sVtYq) 321

I believe Demi Lovato was a Disney girl, probably went through the "process" and is now working out her trauma. Was really cute and then decided to ugg out and has been dancing on this non-binary line for a bit to get the attention she is so used to but lost.

I only really know Claude Rains from Casablanca. Was watching an old pirate movie a few months ago, The Sea Hawk, and was pleasantly surprised to see him show up. He was perfect for the part, which was a good thing because he sounded a lot like he did in Casablanca.
Posted by: Stephen Price Blair at October 28, 2022 11:41 AM (EXyHK) One of my favorite Claude Rains movies is "Deception" (1946) with Bette Davis and Paul Henreid. Rains plays this over-the-top classical music conductor with Beethoven hair, and he delights in psychologically tormenting his ex-lover Davis and her new beau Henreid. It's dark but with a lot of very funny scenes. Posted by: Tom Servo at October 28, 2022 11:47 AM (trdmm) 351

The Pelosi story? Either it's the Pelosi's ginning up the "right wing extremist" narrative for the mid-terms or someone is sending a narrative to Nancy. This is twice her husband has been "in the news" for reasons I'm sure she'd rather not have to discuss.

First time I watched Creature I was so young I didn't understand the creature's motivation (attraction to the girl). That was true of a lot of horror and monster movies at the time. There' was always a scene where the guy and his love interest are running from the monster, or fighting the monster, and the girl trips and falls or gets caught by the monster. The guy of course risks his life to go back and save her. I never understood it at the time. I was always like "fuck the girl, who cares about her? Save yourself!!!"

The sequels didn't care and the guy wore some kind of breathing apparatus under the suit.

Weird story out of San Francisco - Paul Pelosi, husband of Nancy Pelosi, was attacked in their house by an assailant with a hammer, and was hospitalized. The assailant was arrested.
So, who did it: 1) A crazed MAGA supporter inspired by the insurrection on January 6th (expect a lot of stories by the media claiming this over the next few hours) 2) Just a random San Francisco home invader, marching into a random multi-millionaire's house 3) Someone in The Family is mad at the Pelosis, and is sending a little message. Sort of like Harry Reid and his "exercise equipment". Posted by: The ARC of History! at October 28, 2022 11:21 AM (I2/tG) Rando. 'Tis a shame, it is.

First time I watched Creature I was so young I didn't understand the creature's motivation (attraction to the girl). That was true of a lot of horror and monster movies at the time. . . .
Posted by: Elric Blade at October 28, 2022 *** My view as a grownup is that I don't understand why the Creature or any other monster would be attracted to a human female. Okay, King Kong thought of the girl as a pet, I guess. But a human woman wouldn't look or smell right (i.e., sexual) to a being like the Gill Man. In a story of mine I had a centaur who was a sociopath. But he had no designs on the human girl in the story, and I never considered that for a second. It'd be like getting aroused by an artichoke.

Walter Brennan, another victim of gas in WW1. Said it was one of the best things to happen to him, giving him the unique old man voice. Second best was a stuntman missing during rehearsal busting out Brennan's teeth. Brennan said being able to take out the dentures helped him in the old guy parts before he got old. Talk about a glass half full type.

You guys still don't get it: in alchemy and kaballah and Sufi mysticism words, and especially written words, are magic. This is what that is.

Leaving cross-species phillia aside for a moment, (and the glorious camp of 'Mars Needs Women' media) it perhaps shows that the monster isn't just a creature at all.

Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul, is hospitalized after a hammer-wielding attacker allegedly broke into the Pelosi home.
The incident went down Friday morning in San Francisco, according to Speaker Pelosi’s spokesman, who says the alleged attacker “violently assaulted Mr. Pelosi” after breaking into the house. It’s unclear exactly what Paul’s injuries are, but he had to be rushed to a hospital. The suspect did not escape. Pelosi’s spokesman says, “The Assailant is in custody and the motivation for the attack is under investigation.” He adds that Paul is still in the hospital for treatment, and is “expected to make a full recovery.” .. taking bets attacker yelled "Allāhu ’akbar" Posted by: SMOD at October 28, 2022 12:06 PM (X5CsJ) 523

I thought their behavior was aberrant until I fought a war in Europe, and discovered it's not at all. It's the human default.
These... people... with their words, are exactly that, and I consider them, with their words and incantations, no different than the natives filtering out of the Mayan mountains. I expect they are no more bullet proof. Posted by: LenNeal at October 28, 2022 12:10 PM (bLxaQ) 536

"I think we get it but most of us either don't believe that words are "actually" magic, or we hesitate to acknowledge that our so-called intellectual peers are so primitive to believe they are magic."
It's the human default. It's not 'primitive', and I gave that idea up many decades ago. To believe any other human is primitive is to believe in human evolution and 'progress' and one has just fallen into the Progressive trap that preaches human nature can be fundamentally changed. The belief that words and particularly written words are magic is NOT a structured belief or a creed, it is a human default setting. It doesn't have to be taught. Destroy rational education and intensive training, then magic and its extension, alchemy, is the result. This is the real pernicious and vicious teaching of Marxism: that destroying rational structures designed to limit natural human behaviors will result in Utopia. It does not: it results in human nature erupting. We are seeing that now. Posted by: LenNeal at October 28, 2022 12:24 PM (bLxaQ) 541

A belief that a spoken word creates reality is common in management, and can be ascribed to ignorance of exactly how any given order is effected; but THIS thing has gone far, far beyond that.
It's not ignorance or a lack of knowledge of the effect of a spoken or written order. They KNOW. Herein is why I stated what I stated about you guys not getting it: it's not rational.
