Wednesday Overnight Open Thread ( 2/28/24)
Quote I "It's coming whether we want it to or not. And everyone is walking around with AI in their hands with their phones, recording, videotaping," San Francisco Mayor London Breed
Quote II "When a passenger feels unwell, we will... no longer stop the train," Valerie Pecresse, French Muckity Muck.
A state judge in Illinois ruled Wednesday that former President Donald Trump cannot appear on the state’s primary ballot, but she put her ruling on hold to await a Supreme Court decision in a similar case. Judge Tracie Porter said Mr. Trump was not being truthful when he said he is qualified to serve as president, and therefore he cannot be listed on the ballot. She overturned the state’s board of elections, which had allowed Mr. Trump to appear. The judge based the decision heavily on the controversial ruling by the Colorado Supreme Court, which kicked Mr. Trump off that state’s ballot in December. That ruling has been put on hold by the U.S. Supreme Court, and in fact voters in Colorado are voting with Mr. Trump on the GOP primary ballot right now, but Judge Porter called it “persuasive.”Nothing but political theatrics. Donald Trump will never win Illinois in November. She took it upon herself to be full center of several news cycles. And of course she will face no repercussions for her unethical shenanigans.
Relying on color and ethnicity over the years has led to an interesting anti-war issue in the Democratic Party. Their theme is, "Beat the Russians. Beat the Jews."
And yet, as the night went on, it also became clear that the uncommitted vote was larger than expected, and that the antiwar Democrats had issued a powerful message to Biden and his political advisers. Statewide, the final tally of uncommitted voters was slightly more than a hundred thousand, about 13.3 per cent of the total. In Dearborn, it was fifty-six per cent, and in Ann Arbor it was nineteen per cent. Andy Levin, a former Democratic congressman from Michigan, who backed the uncommitted effort, pointed out that Biden’s winning margin over Trump in 2020 was a hundred and fifty-four thousand votes, and he called Tuesday’s result “historic.” Layla Elabed, the campaign manager for Listen to Michigan, which encouraged Democrats to vote uncommitted, said, “Our movement emerged victorious tonight and massively surpassed our expectations.” She added: “We don’t want a Trump Presidency, but Biden has put Netanyahu ahead of American democracy.” Congresswoman Debbie Dingell, who represents Michigan’s Sixth District, and is a supporter of Biden, said that the large uncommitted vote didn’t surprise her. “It’s not just the Arab American and Muslim community,” Dingell told CNN. “It’s young people who want to be heard and have the same concerns.

RIP Richard Lewis dead at age 76: REPORT
Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson must have fallen asleep last night watching a vintage '80s Chuck Norris movie as part of her preparation to hear oral arguments today in the Garland v. Cargill bumpstock ban lawsuit because her understanding of firearms is even less realistic than your typical Cannon Films production.
THE scheduled execution of a convicted serial killer has been delayed after prison officials were unable to find a vein to insert an IV. Thomas Creech, 73, who was convicted in November 1974 of five murders in three states, was set to die by lethal injection at 10 am PST on Wednesday before it was suddenly called off.This is where a couple of things come to mind. I wonder if the injection specialist was a former employee of Asprius Health. And a .38 behind the ear of his choice would be quick and painless.
It isn't always true. But in this case it is, “Those who can, do; those who can't, teach.”
Here’s a tale for those who’ve wondered what happens when two Designated Victim Groups – both accustomed to deference – collide. Specifically, “Indigenous faculty members” at Wilfrid Laurier University, and the black Dean of the university’s social work department. At the centre of the conflict is Kathy Hogarth,
That would be our aforementioned black Dean and self-styled “radical.” A radical who invokes the “burden” of her unspecified “trauma,” who works “in the name of resistance,” and whose melanin-related grumbles include “the system of white mediocrity,” onto which her paler colleagues allegedly hold with “a vice grip.” One can only hope that Dr Hogarth’s “trauma,” whatever it might be, was at least partly soothed by the $200,000 salary. Professors in the faculty of social work had some pre-existing grievances with Hogarth: they found her untransparent about hiring decisions and said she had a generally uncollegial attitude.
I’m assuming that includes using social media to publicly badmouth colleagues based on their race. All that “white mediocrity.” But it was at a faculty retreat in September 2022 that the showdown between Hogarth and the Indigenous Field of Study (IFS) social work faculty came to a head.
Not only does he have a great view of NYC. He can now proudly show off his Genius Award
NJ man who chopped down neighbor’s trees ‘for better view of NYC’ fined $13,000 — and faces $1 million bill A security exec who hacked off his New Jersey borough last year by cutting down his neighbor’s trees without a permit has to pay $13,000, a judge ruled. But Grant Haber still has to get to the root of the problem: Local prosecutors say the damages could exceed $1 million after he’s forced to pay for the replacement and care of the felled trees. Haber cut a plea deal that saw him fined for just 18 of the 32 trees that he paid a contractor to ax last March in wealthy Kinnelon, New Jersey.

A bin man who saw flames leaping from a flat ‘like a blow torch’ climbed a balcony three times to rescue those inside, saving the lives of a man, a woman and their dog. Steve Whitehouse, 49, showed incredible bravery to climb up to the first floor and make sure all three were rescued after he heard a woman screaming. Even rescuing one of them would have been remarkable, the local fire chief said, but to bring all three out safely was ‘staggering’.

The Ukrainians are having difficulty containing the Russian breakout from Avdeevka.
Poland is closing its border with Ukraine, supposedly to keep agricultural products out, but more probably to keep a future flood of refugees out.
Transnistria, a sliver of territory near the far southwest corner of Ukraine, has asked for Russia's protection. This is a big deal, as it is adjacent to the Ukrainian port city of Odessa. Ukraine can't afford to lose Odessa, NATO (specifically the UK) lusts after Odessa, and Russia has to take Odessa to make the Black Sea secure for their Navy. Transnistria's request kicks off the official start of the Odessa campaign.

The first example of the new format showed up today. It is pretty luxurious - physically bigger and made of better paper. It also clocks in at just under 120 pages vs the 80 or so per issue it was down to previously, so not quite the total snowjob I was expecting.

It's not always about wining. It's about making the opponent spend money and time defending their turf instead of fighting on ours. Trump likely won't win Colorado or Maine either.
That's the entire reason for Haley's campaign. She can't win, everyone knows it including her. But she is forcing the RNC to continue this farce of a primary instead of focusing on Biden in the general.

I had to take a cognitive test 5 years ago, in order to qualify for purchasing term life insurance at age 71.
I kid you not. And these were the HARD questions:
"Mr. [mnw], can you please count backwards from 100 until I tell you to stop?"
Now, Mr. [mnw], I'm going to read the name, age, & hometown of an individual to you. Please pay close attention, because in 20 minutes, I'm going to ask you to REMEMBER what I say just now, and REPEAT it back to me. Do you understand? Here we go: 'Jim Williams is 32 & lives in Phoenix, AZ.' OK? I'm going at ask you to REPEAT this individual's name, age & hometown back to me in 20 minutes. Do you understand?"

Ronald DeFeo Jr the killer made up a bunch of odd stories. One is that he was married to and living with a woman in New Jersey named Geraldine Gates and came back to his family home because his mother called him for help with his brother in law.
He produced a marriage certificate that was falsified, the women Gates lived in a different state and was married to a different man, and she had no brother to travel with DeFeo.
So...he's just a bad liar/crazy right? But years later he DID marry her from prison. Now I know there are crazy women that are attracted to murderers and will marry them in prison but...a murderer that lied about being married to you already? That seems really, really odd.

Ehhhh, if the adjustment worked - IF, you should feel some relief in 24-48 hours. Take some Aleve to knock down the pain response, it will help the muscles relax (which is the real issue).
As to follow-up adjustments, it shouldn't be more than one or two more. Anything more than that is paying for someone's BMW.

And the funny part - the town is saying of they don't get the money they'll close a school and fire a bunch of cops...not get rid of the sustainability officer or sell the library....

Commercial bread has sugar in it. Ostensibly it is for yeast or for flavoring, but it also keeps the bread more moist for longer, and I suspect it also helps it toast brown more readily.
I am told the sugar acts to attract moisture into the bread where bread without sugar would just go stale.
In my experience my home made bread takes twice as long to show brown in the toaster unless it is going stale, where commercial bread toasts right up the first minute I bring it home.
I am sorry about being a goober about bread, it is one of those things I felt I needed to learn a lot about.

Yeah, the DeFeo murders were weird. Six shots from a rifle and no one got out of bed. And none of the neighbors heard the shots, either.
Ronnie DeFeo changed his story multiple times over the years, so whatever really happened, he took to the grave.

Yeah - I still remember the coverage at the time, and could never fathom how it happened. There was some speculation that a family member assisted in the murders, only to end up a target themselves. There were also allegations that De Feo Sr. was linked to the Mob, although how that would come into play here is unclear.
It reminds me of the Villisca Axe Murders that took place in Iowa in 1912. Someone managed to murder a family of eight people on multiple floors without seemingly encountering any attempted escapes or alerting the others in the house. There's a theory that the killer used the blunt end of the axe to bludgeon the victims before coming back to do the Lizzie Borden routine, but it seems like that would still be a pretty noisy and disrupting.

These people are cargo cultists. They chant mantra and spells, hoping for the gods to drop manna upon them.
And they keep doing it because: It. Fucking. Works.
Their "resistance" is counter-productive. They don't create. They don't make. They destroy. They literally destroy lives.
There's a saying that adversity breeds character. These critters don't have adversity. And they crave it, so they have to do an equivalent of "Stolen Valor" mixed with "Sins of the Father" to give their pitiful, meaningless lives something to fill the sheer emptiness within them.
It's also why they call it "Virtue Signalling". It's merely a sign, not of substance.

I was down in Pinehurst many years ago. I went out for an evening stroll and happened across a "turtle" in the middle of the road.
Being concerned, I went and picked up this fairly large fellow...and almost got my f'n hand bit off.
I'd never seen a Snapper that big, and I had no idea:
1) they stuck that fast
b) their necks rach out about the length of their shell
iii) they hiss
Thank god I hadn't been drinking or sparking up ... oye!

My father built a clock. It is a wood carving of an owl, whittled out of a board. The owl's eyes rotate on spindles, and are solid white, with black sectors of about 30 degrees, and each black sector has a white median line on it, making a pointer. Around each eye are 12 carved notches indicating the hours on a clock. On the back side, each eye has a pulley, connected by a rubber-band belt to like-sized pulleys on the spindles of an old alarm-clock movement house in a coffee can. Alarm clock movement is worn out. I should replace it with a battery driven quartz clock.

And now the hospital I have all my doctors with is now requiring masks again because . . . reasons. Told my docs until they stop with that voodoo medicine bullshit, I'll stay away as I will never wear a face diaper again. And, boy howdy, do they hate masks being called 'face diapers'.

We had much better representatives a few decades ago. The old timers knew how to present themselves in public. They may have been rat bastards but social media wasn't around then, so they played the part. Even golf 'bad boys' back then had a bit of class to them. The players are better today, overall. Better training, equipment, etc. They are much fitter. Also, way more bratty and self centered. Reflects the era, sadly.

Your mind works in mystical and hysterical ways. Amnesty on the bongos is possible. Does JT have bongo experience?

If the judge is a fan of Kafka, I sentence her to be turned into a cockroach.

Tulane had a pool, in 1974. It was on the lowest level (called a basement in civilized places) of the university center, along with a barbershop and their beer/pizza parlor Der Rathskeller, universally called The Rat. I wasn't a student there, but my first wife-to-be was.
I guess they closed the pool before they built the big gym the faculty and students all use now.

I guess the stories about people on the lower end, who have to spend a couple hundred thousand a year, at least just to travel the tour. But the PGA tour is paying them millions and I mean tens of millions. I just don’t understand people giving up that tour for the Saudies, for something the public never asked for and doesn’t seem to like at all. Talk about inside baseball., this is the revolution that no one asked for.

These spidery-looking insects hang around my front door, "crane flies." They look like overgrown mosquitoes, but they don't bite (and they eat the real skeeters). But when they get in, the cats go nuts trying to trap and kill them. The things are surprisingly hard for me to kill -- they seem to dodge a swat without even trying -- so the kittens have lots of fun. I'm just afraid, in their hunting zeal, they'll knock over a lamp or dislodge a picture from the walls.

Mainly True.
The basement level had a pool, only for the swim team.
I worked in the bookstore in the basement, barber was there (cheap, and as if I cared) and the Rat (cheap beer, OK pizza). But then the drinking age was 18.
As we sang in the style of Lee Dorsey
"Working in the bookstore
Going down down
Working in the bookstore
WHOOPS about to slip down"

As the library found out in Katrina, when they lost a lot of their archives in their lowest level to rising water. The "lowest level" at the UC was probably at ground level, though, since the main level was, and is, up a short flight of stairs.
It's neat to look at the 1938 WPA book about the town. The section on Tulane mentions several buildings that are still here, but not others, those built after '38. And the address they give for the university is way off from today's address. Either the city renumbered things, or the WPA made a mistake.

When, as I hope will happen soon, we move and have a house later this year, they will have lots of room to romp and cause destruction.

Or like people who like the DH in baseball versus people who aren't ignorant barbarians.

The cool thing about that Ryder Cup was unlike today. It didn’t seem like some dumb write off some thing to comment about that was dead and gone tomorrow. They made it seems like the event actually mattered.
