Here is the full video I wish I has the skill, the patience, and the tools to do something like this. I had the chance to pick up an old popcorn cart last week. While I think it would be neat to have a popcorn cart, it would have required close to this level of restoration (plus wiring), and I just don't have it in me. Pity. The Several States
Every US State depicted in a meme Did you know it's hot in Arizona? Flat in southern Illinois? Snowy in Minnesota? No? All that and much more on the next meme in the series! A Deep Dive
Was the sexual revolution a government psy-op?
Phew! There's a lot going on here, and it really doesn't lend itself to a facile discussion.
Whatever meaning and political valence the no-fap movement has for its adepts, the journalistic Left’s ready identification of sexual self-regulation with “fascism” has a definite genealogy. Retracing this gives us a glimpse into a fascinating chapter of 20th-century social engineering, a programme of sexual “liberation” that is still with us and can feel, if not obligatory, certainly on the agenda for all who would be well-adjusted. Acquaintance with this history should disabuse us of the idea that the sexual revolution was an entirely organic eruption of cultural change, and that it happened in the Sixties. Sexual liberation was the goal of a therapeutic para-state whose organs sprang into existence almost overnight at the conclusion of the Second World War. Its political purpose was to forestall the possibility of fascism in the United States. It would be too simple to say the sexual revolution was a government psy-op, but neither has the role of government been adequately appreciated. With the spectre of fascism once again haunting the American political imagination, and attendant worries in some quarters about inadequate masturbation, this is an episode worth revisiting.
Basically what they are saying here is that post WWII, the powers that be in the government (and by “the government” they mean the Marxist adherents of the Frankfort School) became concerned that traditional American values were “proto-fascist”; fascism arose in Germany in a society that had strong pro-family leanings, so traditional American family values were ripe to produce another “fascist” regime somewhere down the road, and so they must be subverted and destroyed. An American version of the New Soviet Man needed to be created. Typical Marxist bullshit, but it's been wildly successful. What I find ironic about the whole thing is that American government today is far more fascist (by definition, remember the term is used by most Marxists as a synonym for “bad” ) than anything a Marxist 75 years ago would recognize, and the heirs to their movement, the fascist left, are happily occupying and expanding the fascist power structure that exists today. I say ironic and not surprising because anyone who studies these movements from outside knows that there's not a frog's hair worth of difference between “socialist” “Marxist” “fascist” and “Communist”. The reason communists and fascists traditionally are at each other's throats is not because they oppose each other, but because they are competing for the same power base. They're essentially the same thing, fascism is Marxism wearing the mask of nationalism and communism is Marxism wearing the mask of internationalism. Interesting read if you're into that kind of thing. At Least There's No Mean Tweets Boy, those Bidens are a class act, aren't they? Hunter Biden’s Baby Mama Asks Court to Give Daughter His Last Name As far as I know there's no dispute that the girl is his, but the way the Biden family fights to keep from acknowledging her existence is vile. IOW, par for the course with them. ALL ABOARD! Gravy train Now Boarding At Platform 6!
It pays not to work in Biden’s America — and here’s the proof
What's that you say? You're still working hard?
In a dozen states, the value of unemployment benefits and ObamaCare subsidies exceeds the salary and benefits of the average teacher, construction worker, electrician, firefighter, truck driver, machinist or retail associate.
In New Jersey, a family of four can receive benefits equal to an annualized earned income of $108,000 with no one working.
In Connecticut and New Jersey, a family earning $300,000 a year can receive ObamaCare subsidies
New Jersey is a state where a family can earn the equivalent of $100,000 a year if both parents are collecting unemployment benefits and ObamaCare subsidies for health care. In Connecticut the benefits can reach $80,000
In 24 states, unemployment benefits and ObamaCare subsidies for a family of four with no one working are the annualized equivalent of at least the national median household. A family making almost a quarter of a million dollars annually still qualifies for ObamaCare subsidies in every state.
Follow. The. Money.
How Gender Ideology Conquered South Dakota Sanford Health, the state's largest employeer, is making billions of dollars off of mutilating kids, and they are making damn sure that their gravy train doesn't stop anytime soon.
The women’s-sports bill wasn’t the only social-conservative legislation that Sanford had lobbied against — and the sports complex wasn’t its only business interest implicated in transgender debates. The health-care company sells puberty blockers and performs “gender-reassignment” surgery. Its lobbyists appeared at the state legislature to oppose legislative initiatives including conscience rights for medical practitioners who object to performing abortions and sex-change operations, and a ban on puberty blockers and sex-reassignment surgery for children under 16. Both proposals ultimately failed to pass. “The bill to prevent doctors from giving hormone-blocking drugs to kids — when it failed, that was all Sanford,” John Mills, a Republican lawmaker representing South Dakota’s fourth house district, told NR. “You want to believe it’s not about the profit, but you also witness the reality of what’s happening on the ground and can’t help but wonder.”NR gives you 2 free articles per month. This is one of their accidental forays into actual journalism, so it's worth making this one of them.
The Lighter Side Of The News
New Year’s Eve fireworks cancelled because of masturbating walrus That's pretty much the story. Everyone was gathered by the shore to watch the fireworks, and a walrus crawled out of the ocean onto the beach and began to bop the bishop. The beauty of nature.

Going to bed early tonight. Tomorrow is Epiphany, which is a Holy Day of Obligation and I'm thinking of going to early Mass.
Strictly speaking, because January 6th falls on a Friday this year, the obligation is rolled over to Sunday by direction of the bishop; this would also hold if it fell on a Monday. But I may as well do things right and go.

*finds nothing odd about that at all*
Seriously -- on a recent trip to Massachusetts, I was amazed at how bland the seafood tasted. My "host" - a Mass. native who has lived in Maryland for nearly 20 years had raved about the seafood in that part of the country. Turns out, seafood in that area is merely a vehicle for melted butter. Next time, I'm bringing some Old Bay!

In college, the guys in the dorm room across from me were deer hunters and had their rifles in their room. No one batted an eye. But that was the '70s. Today, I'm sure even having a weapon while passing through the campus would be cause for arrest and a total school lockdown.

Being a bit prejudiced being a son of the South, there's pretty good, albeit different, seafood eats from the DelMarVa area to down around the Gulf Coast all the way to Mexico. In my not so humble opinion, the more simple the preparation for fresh seafood, the better the result. Each area has its own regional version of 'simplicity'.

The Daily Mail:
ladimir Putin is terminally ill with cancer and will die very soon, Ukraine's military intelligence head has claimed.
Kyrylo Budanov, without providing evidence, said he knows the Russian despot's death is imminent due to an ongoing illness from cancer.
Bets on who dies first - Putin or Biden?

The cinematic Raylan Givens is not the literary one anyway. The book Raylan is a much better rounded character, with a wider range of emotion who arrives at his "fuck it I am old school" attitude by a more circuitous route. I will be happy to be wrong but I get the feeling I will not be.

I think his annual marathon press conference is due soon, if I haven't missed it already. It's quite interesting. Pretty wide open. You generally no longer see such things in the west, where "leadership" mostly has become small in character, intellect, and heft.
Of course a recent president - whose coarse behavior rightly shocked the conscience of those who think the Oval Office is about style and not results - used to regularly engage the press in an anything-goes impromptu conference, sometimes more than once a day. But that was an exception and fixes have been implemented to ensure we are unlikely to see that again.

it starts:
In the years of my youth, a period approximating Appomattox Court House, as it now seems, or at least ante-dating the Custer massacre, cigarettes were not a highly regarded article of commerce. Their use generally was restricted tot he lower orders of society, pimps, race track touts, Congressmen and the like, and certainly none were ever smoked in my father’s house by any member of the family, although now and then guests asked if they might be excused to go into the garden and smoke a cigar after dinner.
Smoking in the presence of ladies was unthinkable and there was still a statute on the local Boston laws books against smoking pipes on the public street, pipes being associated with the Irish and not to be tolerated in the presence of gentlefolk.

There was a window to see Mercury just after sunset as well, but I can never see it here. Treelines all around seem to block it. It's still too light to see it. There is a spot, a pretty high local spot about a mile from here where I might be able to see it

Rush would've been quite likely, the Greatest Speaker, ever.
And even though he had on interest towards "running for" elective office, I think he might've accepted being Drafted into the Speaker's role (especially in today's f'd up Congress), and spending at least two years cracking some things back into shape.
Regular Order. Budgets. De-fundments. Investigations with TEETH. And, etc.
And the screaming of the libs would be GLORIOUS!

There is a another nice "parade of planets" window around now. Back in June or July, there was a window of several weeks where you could see Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn all line up, in order, across the ecliptic.
Well, in a band close to the ecliptic, in order.
Now, they're not in order, Venus and Mercury, being on the Western side near sunset, but all the planets were visible.
Uranus and Neptune are up there as well, but you can't see them with the nekkid eye.

I've said this before but it bears repeating. Keep a close record on symptoms from the chemo. Chemo does lots of damage to healthy cells while its racing to kill cancer cells fastest. Let your doctors/oncologists know what you're going through when you see them. Tell your nurses, too, during treatment. They may need to tweak dosages depending on your wife's condition. There are defined protocols, but they are inexact.
For me it was not recognizing balance issues (neuropathy was a documented side effect of my regimen) and I probably took on more abuse than was necessary. I simply didn't know what a reasonable versus unreasonable amount of peripheral nerve damage was. It was only when I couldn't button a shirt or hold a pen to sign my name that I said, "Eff this. I'm done," and terminated treatment.
So note changes in body. Ask for the names of the drug cocktail and get the inserts (such as they exist) so you know what to look out for.

After watching chemo kill my mother faster than cancer would have, I swore I'd never do it.
Then I was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 46. I did what they recommended, surgery, chemo and radiation. I did it because my youngest was still in 8th grade and I wanted to see him graduate from high school.
Now? I wouldn't do it. I'd like to meet my grandchildren some day, but I'm not going to do that again. Nope. Palliative care keeps you comfortable and happy for as long as you've got. Sometimes it's months, sometimes it's a lot longer.
But I'm not doing that again.

I've vacillated. It's a tough call.
If I had to go much further knowing the side effects would be worse, I don't think I'd do it again. As unpleasant as the actual treatment was, I could do that again. I could suffer a LOT of discomfort - much longer than I did - if I knew I'd be fine afterwards. It's the afterwards.
I mean you think you're prepared for it and the doctors sort of warn you about it... but not really. It's more a perfunctory checkbox for litigation purposes. And, truthfully, they don't know how things will turn out. But you really can't prepare for what you don't know. And after it's done, it's too late.
So, I guess, fuck cancer.

A long long time ago I read somewhere about how the cast of 'Marcus Welby, M.D.' had their 'disease of the week' written on some board on set.
American tv shows, if not generally bad, they are definitely formulaic.

You know, I don't know if Quincy ever said, "It was murder, Sam!". That's one of those things you remember an iconic character saying, but they didn't really.
For example, Capt. Kirk never said "Beam me up, Scotty!". He said some lines pretty close, but never exactly that.
Mae West never said exactly, "Come up and see me sometime". It was something close, but not that exactly.

Cary Grant never said, "Judy, Judy, Judy!" either, Goober Pyle notwithstanding.
Actually, he did say that, clowning, but not in a movie. In his later years, he used to do these appearances at various "ladies' auxillary" functions. The ladies ate him up, of course.
One time he got to clowning, and did an impression of someone doing a bad impression of himself, and did the triple-Judy line. There's a recording of it somewhere.

I remember Chief Bellamy
Hell I was at The Pad when it burned (both times).
I still wonder if somebody salvaged the famous "Shag at the Pad 'Cause yo Mama did" piece of wood from about 1954
"1955
The Pad Shag Club in North Myrtle Beach opens. This popular hangout was a hotbed for teens and local nightlife, thriving during the golden age of “The Shag” (South Carolina’s official state dance). It was said that townspeople insisted that latticework be added over the lower portion of the building to prevent anyone from inadvertently seeing the risque moves happening inside."

I just learned a new word: "proleptic". In relation to calendars, it means extending a calendar backwards in time before it's official adoption.
Great Britain didn't adopt the Gregorian calendar until after George Washington was born. Thus Feb. 22nd is the proleptic birthday of Washington.

Posted by: Ciampino - calendar girl - Neil Sedaka? at January 06, 2023 02:19 AM (qfLjt)
THe general meaning is something like "assuming a future event has happened before it happened". So in that sense it means extrapolating forward.
But for a calendar, thinking of some date in the past as the present, it means applying the future calendar to the present date.

I can't take credit for that. And I misspelled it, too, should be Epochalypse, otherwise known as the Year 2038 problem for Unix system using signed 32 bit integers for the system time value:

They've pretty much fixed that, anyway. Even older 32-bit builds of Linux/*nixes have shifted to using 64-bit integers for the time, which will extend the range out something ridiculous -- never be a problem again.
Only any older systems, mostly embedded probably that can't be updated will likely have a problem.

The Unix epoch (t = 0) was established as Jan 1, 1970, 0:00:00 UTC.
The Windows kernel epoch is Jan 1, 1601, 0:00:00. That was just a few years after the Papal decree establishing the Gregorian, so not really a proleptic epoch, but proleptic in the sense of UTC, and terrestrial time standards.
The Mac epoch is Jan 1, 1904.
