Hobby Thread - Sept 28, 2024 [TRex]
Welcome hobbyists! Pull up a chair and sit a spell with the horde in this little corner of the interweb. This is the mighty, mighty officially sanctioned Ace of Spades Hobby Thread. By popular demand, a spin of the Ace of Spades wheel of hobbies has come up with a theme of BEER for this week.
We enjoy drinking beer, we enjoy trying different kinds of beer made by different people, we travel to interesting places and events to drink beer, we collect beer, and we collect beer glassware in different shapes. Some homebrew our own beer. Beer is universal. Oktoberfest is in full swing which makes beer a timely topic.
Are you a beer lover? Are you a connoisseur of beer? Are you a beerologist? Do you have stories of finding or discovering good beer? Do you have favorite seasonal beers or Oktoberfest beers? Are you among those that chase limited editions or beer made in low volumes? Have you traveled to drink beer? Do you collect beer or beer-related glassware? Have you brewed your own beer? Have you walked fields of barley or hops? Do you grow your own hops? Lets talk suds.As per usual Hobby Thread etiquette, keep this thread limited to beer. Politics and current events can wait for other threads. Play nice. Do not be a troll and do not feed the trolls. Use caution when drinking and posting.
Best wishes to those struggling with unpleasant weather. If you are in need and think the horde can help, please ask.September 28 is National Drink Beer Day. The date commemorates the birthday of Arthur Guinness, the founder of Guinness Brewery. The day also known as Arthurs Day.
National Drink Beer Day should not be confused with National Beer Day on April 7. This day recognizes the day that the Cullen Harrison Act came into force after having been signed into law by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on March 22, 1933 as part of the repeal of prohibition.Ben Franklin is often credited with observing the universal truth that Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy. Unfortunately, while true, there is no proof that he actually said it.
The quote is believed to have come from a letter he wrote with this quote - Behold the rain which descends from heaven upon our vineyards, and which incorporates itself with the grapes to be changed into wine; a constant proof that God loves us, and loves to see us happy! The wonders of God and the rain are the subject rather than wine itself. Franklin also apparently preferred wine over beer. Regardless, Franklin is commonly credited for the quote that has sold a thousand t-shirts.The final point is the most important of all: The 1516 law applied only to Bavarian breweries. This is not incidental, because the beers brewed there were unique in the world. By the 16th century, Bavarians were already well into lager brewing. That is, making beer with yeast strains that fermented at cool temperatures. Nowhere else in the world was this happening, including in other parts of what we now call Germany. In parts north, brewers made ales that looked like the ones in neighboring Belgium. They were funky, wild, and made with exotica like ashes, tree bark and beans as well as all manner of fruits and spices. It is the same tradition that can be seen in historical remnants like gose and Berliner weisse. Duke Wilhelms original decree that beer be made with only hops, malt and water was appropriate for his charges. It would have been an absurd restriction for a brewer in Berlin or Leipzig. In fact, in a rebuke to the Bavarians, the city of Cologne even banned lager-brewing in 1603. Breweries in the north had their own tradition, and it included brewing with a range of ingredients. The Complex Half Millenium Story of Reinheitsgebot
Q: Why is it better to drink beer from a glass rather than directly from the bottle?
A: Drinking beer from a glass rather than directly from the bottle allows for the beers gas to be released more naturally, preventing your stomach from feeling bloated. It also helps the aromas to volatilize better, enhancing your perception of the flavor of the beer.Trappist beers are made by Trappist monasteries. The Trappists, officially known as the Order of Cistercians of the Strict Observance and originally named the Order of Reformed Cistercians of Our Lady of La Trappe, are a Catholic religious order of cloistered monastics that branched off from the Cistercians.
For a beer to be officially recognized by the International Trappist Association, it must be brewed inside the walls or in the immediate vicinity of a Trappist monastery under the supervision of monks. Additionally, the beer cannot be brewed for profit but can only be sold to sustain the needs of the monastery, the monks, and the surrounding communities or designated charities.There are currently 11 Trappist breweries in the world, and they are responsible for creating 12 beers that are legally and legitimately approved to be called Trappist ales. The monasteries are located predominantly in Europe where the Trappist monks rebuilt after the French Revolution with six in Belgium, two in the Netherlands, one in Austria, one in Italy, and the only overseas brewery in the United States. Additionally, Mont des Cats in France has partnered with Abbaye Notre-Dame de Scourmont in Belgium, which makes Chimay, to brew Mont des Cats ale offsite at the Scourmont Abbey. Belgium and Beyond: The Trappist Breweries and BeersTouring Belgium to visit the Trappist breweries is a time-honored tradition of beer enthusiasts. Even aside from beer, the tour is a great way to see a lot of different parts of Belgium. However, if you go, do not expect brewery tours or hanging out with the monks. Most breweries and monasteries are off limits, leaving a nearby cafe for visitors to buy and enjoy liquid refreshment. Each has unique glassware which some people collect. This tour of Chimay gives a sense and provides some great Chimay history:
When traveling in Europe, we have consistently found that most beer is local and regional. It is always fun to try something from the local brewery (sometimes that is the only option). The downside is the difficulty of finding it elsewhere if you like it. Here are three random examples. Somewhat ironically, Kostritzer (schwarzbier) comes from the former East Germany and is the only one I have seen available in the US.
From Salzburg, Austria:
TRex is not a home brewer. By marital edict, TRex is mostly banned from anything in, near or adjacent to the kitchen or production of anything edible or drinkable. Some are born to make. Others are made to consume. I know my place. However, many others are wise in the ways of homebrewing and many professional brewers started off making small batches at home. Are there some among the horde who conjure beer at home (either past or present)? Both success stories and horror stories are welcome. Found these on YT, but feel free to suggest other resources.
The American Homebrewing Association says about 1.2 million people in the United States homebrew. The US is the largest population of homebrewers in the world.
Homebrewing is illegal in Japan (making anything with over one percent alcohol) without a license. From my modest interweb research, it sounds like a rule that is not strictly honored or enforced.If a wine expert is called a sommelier, what is a beer expert called? Some use the term beer sommelier, but a private company created a formal certification in 2007 called a Cicerone. The term comes from the Webster definition of a guide or one who explains curiosities. The term was added to the dictionary in 2023 as a proper noun with a service mark in the beer context.

Attached is a shot of my finished Tamiya 1/35 Type 97 Chi-Ha. It was a blast to build and the first model I've built in about 35 years. Thanks for the hobby thread for inspiring me to dig the kit out and get it done. The model is based on a tank from the 1st Tank Regiment of the Imperial Japanese Army, which took part in the invasion of the Malay Peninsula on December 8, 1941.
First model in 35 years - wow. Thank you!

In my drinking days I often drank beer, but I was no connoisseur. Whatever was on sale was fine. Though I especially liked Lone Star, that brand out of Texas that was sold as far east as Lafayette, LA, and Pabst Blue Ribbon. I really don't recall if I ever had any English beers, warm or otherwise.
Oh, there was the Foster's Australian beer in the big oil can.

Beer out of a pilsner glass is the best. You keep the glass at the top rack of the freezer, pour the beer in slowly, just a little foam. Sip, eat, sip, eat, repeat.

My parents had a Lone Star Beer coin bank shaped like a barrel. Instead of a rubber plug on bottom, it had a threaded one made of resin (or whatever the bank itself was made of. Didn't seem like cheap plastic)
Not sure how tall it was, but it seemed rather large. Maybe 12 inches?

When, late in my model-building period, I discovered Tamiya models after many years with Revell and Aurora kits, I was amazed at their detail and fine proportions. My completed tanks -- a WWII King Tiger and a West German Leopard -- both looked as if Dr. Cyclops had turned a miniaturizing ray on examples of the full-size machines.

They were all engineers (two of them chemical engineers), so they were dead-serious when it came to maintaining a high-quality, clean brewing environment. I don't think we ever made a bad batch.
A few bottles did break after bottling due to being too full (too much fermenting can cause them to explode), but that's normal.

I've come to like various Founders beers. Their All Day IPA, Dirty Bastard, and Porter pretty much meet my beer needs. And a far cry, and improvement, from the Narragansett brew so common in my Rhode Island youth. It had one redeeming quality: it was better than Iron City beer. Not sure if either brewery still exist.

If you are monitoring your specific gravity, and priming the secondary correctly, the bottles won't blow up.
I did have the top blow off a tun once. Attempting a barley wine, the fermentation went stuck on me and it "wouldn't bubble." I should have pulled some off and used a yeast nutrient, but I added more corn sugar. When it took off I was not around, and the heavy wort clogged the bubbler, built up pressure under the snap lid, and evenly coated the kitchenette without about a pint of very pure extract. Cleanup was an involved process. "I learned from that."

I've brewed beer a few times.
Clean brewing is key. Or else, you end up with Stinkbrau.
Every batch I made was...eh...good, not bad but not great either. Honestly, I've never had anybody's home brew that was any better than okay. And some unpleasant.
Pro Tip: Don't make Brussels sprout beer.
This is one of those things that the Pros do very well across the board. Why subject yourself to mediocre stuff even if it is home brewed.

Brewed at a brewery 3 times and after helping design a brewery and having the owners 'bottom feed' on salary I turned down a job as a brewmeister.
I haven't brewed in 20 years; but, I have the gear and have started looking into malted barley and available hop varieties recently. It may happen again!

Last I heard, Iron City was being brewed in the former Rolling Rock brewery in the Laurel Highlands. It was all you could get at Nelson Ledges in the old days, and was stunningly good very cold and in a metal can -- as if it had been laid down for that purpose. Another great beer in metal was the old Andeker of America. Some hops are described as "brassy," and the metal can (before plastic linings!) really bore this out.

Yesterday, I noticed the grocery had the Octoberfest beers out, so I bought a 4-pack of Ayinger October-Fest Marzen
Very tasty and smooth, very drinkable with food, of course!
It had a really nice malty flavor. Malt seems to have gone out of style these days with everyone going hog wild on the hops. I like hops and some of the over-hopped beers but I prefer a nicely balanced brew where the hops makes it crisp and the malt makes it smooth and just right for drinking with a meal.
The Japanese do this very well. The beer brewed in Japan is clearly to be quaffed while dining.

We all made fun of the megaswill brews; but, those brew masters have mad-skills. Bud tastes the same all over the world no matter what the local water chemistry is and what barley and hop is available.
I used to joke that I used one of the megaswills for a keg rinse because I knew they wouldn't had any flavor and would be perfectly 'sterile'.

My one venture with them, turned out merely okay-- got probably 1/2 pound of hops total from 3 plants-- I'd grown them in *huge* containers and trained them spirally onto pyramid shaped trellises. (Couldn't tie off to the soffet like I wanted.) They resembled Christmas trees with their little green hop cones as ornaments. Pictures died with old computer, unfortunately.

Fresh out of the tap, there is nothing quite like it. Not a super hoppy beer, it tends to have more a calming effect, suitable for quiet contemplation. And drinking another Hefe. They are tasty.
Interestingly Beer or Bier drinkers in Germany were sort of looked down on, was the way it was explained to me. Like the way we might look at Harley riders or scooter trash, say. Goddamn beer drinkers, Decent folks drink wine.

There is a strain of hops named "Hallertau" and another named "Fugles", the former is frequently used for lagers and the latter for ales. There used to be (and still might be) a significant different in price per oz for the Hallertau.
I brewed mainly ales so never bought Hallertau.

There's a name for what's eating you, but it's Latin so I will not bother. No dipshit, it was scads of sudden-back-to-earthers who were raised in animal-free conditions all of a sudden deciding their 5000 SF lot was Green Acres, and parking roosters under Karen the HOA Chair's bedroom window. Also, foxes, coons and chicken shit. In other words: people just exactly like yourself.

What was REALLY weird, there were at least a few "barracks rats" stationed over there who never thought to try the restaurants or gasthaus meals, and were content to buy American shit lager light beer from the PX. That made no sense, although I guess "there is no accounting for taste".
American bars and taverns were never quite the same after Prohibition. There are no "branded" bars in the USA, that is not legal. In Germany they have a "sponsor" and competitor products are not allowed for sale. Makes sense to me, I guess. This has the effect of subsidizing or at least keeping beer prices competitive overall.

Pre-pandemic I had a nicely stocked wine cellar. Nothing expensive just a lot of Cabernet Sauvignon. Then came the lockdowns and the lockouts. Wine is not really my thing except occasionally when it is really good. I ventured down there last week and it's nothing but a couple of 19's and 20's. Maybe a dozen bottles left out of once was a hundred or so.
Should I sent the bill to Fauci for restocking?
Posted by: Divide by Zero at September 28, 2024 06:53 PM (RKVpM)
About 3 months or so is even better. The German word for "storage" is "Lager". That's what they meant by that, brewing beer and then storing it in ice caves or whatever over the winter. You'll have some fine brew come summer! Hops and alcohol preserves it, but the yeast clean everything up and make it taste crisp and clean.

It's really super subtle, I wouldn't look at it as diagnostic. What I did notice, NOBODY can make a Hefe in the USA.
I've tried them all, or most - and they seem to taste like shit, nothing like a Hefe, or really faggy fruity stuff with apricots or strawberries or whatever. "Honey Wheat" etc.
I made a really great tasting beer using Wheat based DME and the proper yeast, but it didn't really taste like a Hefe. Better than anything that claimed to be one, though.
One 6 pack I bought tasted like moldy cardboard. I mean, that shit should have been recalled. Tucher, Weiheinstephan and a couple other genuine Hefe's should be available in any well stocked beverage outlet.

It was called "Lick the Schnauzer" by local GIs, though it seemed to be well loved. It was the equivalent of about 75c for a half liter during happy hour at the local pub. Before the Euro. I was told that the introduction of the Euro was a shock - nobody changed or adjusted the nominal prices - just the currency.
So what was once 1.75 Marks was now 1.75 Euro. Overnight. Like prices doubling, or near enough.

I think most of the restrictions a based upon advertised claims.
If you advertise as being a local beer to a specific state “Made in XX state” then trying to get beer from other sites can be very complicated and legal departments get deeply involved.
Overall beer consumption is down across the board, and the large brewing companies actively pursue opportunities to help build new, small brands.
The small places produce less than is wasted on a weekly basis in a big brewery.

The very first time I had a Coors I thought it was pretty exceptional.
My son has a handbook for his homebrewing which breaks down the mineral content of the water used in various major brews so he could emulate a particular brand.
It probably had something to do with that. Presence or absence of something made it quite different.

Ace of Spades Pet Thread, September 28
28: I may miss all the other threads today due to various necessary activities, but I do hope the pet thread will include this story of the cat who disappeared at Yellowstone and somehow made its way to Roseville, CA (~800 miles) and was reunited with its people in Salinas.Cat left at Yellowstone makes way back to Northern California
A California family is surprised after their beloved cat Rayne Beau vanished on a trip to Yellowstone National Park and likely trekked around 800 miles back toward home before being found. The couple, Susanne and Benny Anguiano, told KSBW in Salinas that they had taken their cats on previous trips, but that this time, something scared Rayne Beau and he ran off into the forest in early June. The Anguianos spent their days searching for Rayne Beau but ultimately had to make the decision to return home without him. . .
Rayne Beau was likely already heading home on his own. Two months after that June trip, a woman in Roseville found Rayne Beau and took him to the local SPCA, where they were able to get information from his microchip and contact the owners. “This lady who found him and rescued him, she’s just an angel. She even said he looked like he was not going to make it much longer,” Susanne said. From Yellowstone to Roseville is about 835 miles, and just another 200 miles separates Roseville from Salinas. . .He lost 40% of his body weight on the trip. There may be before and after photos if you dare follow a link to Facebook. Tough cat ! Dedicated Cat! Dedicated humans, too!

I read the entire post!
I have a situation similar to Bonzo except it's our friend's cat across the street. Trumpy was the dude who was injured a few weeks back but he's much better now.
He comes to visit when the sun goes down. He comes inside for awhile. I have a towel on the porch for him to sleep. A little bit of food and water. He stays there a chunk of the night and disapppears during the day.
Anyways, small cats under 10 pounds. What shoukd I get for flea protection? We're moving into October in Canada but I'd still feel better if he had something. I'll pay. Neighbor's are fine with this.
Thanks. He's such a beautiful, sweet, friendly cat. His Mom and aunt chose to become outdoor cats. He was born into that but is such a social cat.....

Yes, I saw the story of the Yellowstone cat earlier this week. Incredible Journey stuff for sure. Things like that are why I don't bring my cats on vacation; there are just too many chances of our being separated.

We did the section with two brook crossings. Lily loves the brooks. The woodlands we traverse were all open grazing and hay meadows a hundred years ago, and I am amazed at the size of the maple, ash, and white pine trees. Some of the pines look to be about 30 inches diameter at chest high, and run up 25 to 30 feet before there is a branch.
Lily either stays immediately behind me, like really close, or she gets out ahead just far enough to be clear of my hiking pole tips when I do the front reach.
The brook we crossed is called Styles brook, and when that Betsy hurricane occurred a month ago, the Styles flooded and wrecked two bridges downstream of here, which ruined the 4 mile bike loop I ride slowly with the dog chasing me.

Now he's too darned old and well fed.
He just stares up at them with a wan look in his eyes.
BTW he loves to ride in a car. How did I find out? He jumped in an open window while the car was parked. Had a cat nap in the back seat.
Then I got in for an errand. After I got about a dozen miles away, I looked in the rear view mirror and there was his little cat head staring back at me... No panic at all.

I don't know, as we had nothing to do with it. But we had to give him a registered name. I wanted "Favorite Son" or "Fortunate Son" but we settled on "Son of Fortune". His daddy's name is Felix.

I am aware of a prison here in CA in which some cats are nurtured, kind of informally, by inmates. The cats are part of a "colony", allowed on grounds to control rodents, but not part of a formal program.
Inmates are tough on anyone who abuses a cat. I think programs like the one above are considered from time to time.

And I have another visitor! This is a pale orange cat, I've been calling Creamsickle. Not sure if it's male or female. It likes to sleep on the camp chair I use out back. It's not as scared of me now, but wary of Jake. I will likely set up an outside bed for this one.

Stateless, I don't know if Hartz Mountain still makes a topical flea treatment. But the last time I used it, on Linda's rescue cat Angelique in '03, it gave the cat the shivers and she looked as if she were going into seizures. We rinsed her off right away and she was all right. But clearly it did not agree with her. There are other things like Revolution (which I think is Rx) and Frontline; they work fine.

Oh, little Dagny is well socialized. She likes petting and having her belly rubbed and even scratched. But she only rarely displays affection, at least to me. She sits next to Linda on the couch when I'm not there, I'm told. I have this notion that she doesn't really approve of me somehow -- that I'm not up to her standard of manservant or something.
In my experience, Siberians are odd.

Daisy the frantic young Malinois just had her after-lunch (our lunch) ball-fetching session. She sure does like to run, and I mean, races like crazy. When she's ready to go, she does not like delays. When she finally brings the ball back but doesn't put it down, that means she's done, and glad to come inside, lie down, and pant for a while.
Glad to report that Daisy and Ony the old black cat seem to be getting along better every week. Haven't seen Ony hiss'n'spit at Daisy for a while now. Daisy doesn't get bug-eyed and turn away when their heads are near each other. They may never be snuggle-buddies, but I'm glad for increased mutual tolerance.
I have *got* to get some pictures off my phone and sent to the Pet Thread of our kids' dogs and cats.
A reminder that BluebirdOfBitterness.com has a couple of Caturday posts. One today is video collection of cats getting caught in the act.

Her vet doubled her thyroid medication based on her bloodwork a month ago. She was overly energetic (in a very fun, silly way) and lost a little
Weight. So, I doubled her medication. Now she sleeps all the time and rarely greets me at the door when I come home from work. I feel it's too much too soon.
Does anyone else have experience with thyroid meds and kitties? Lulu is 11.

She retires under the shed to beat the heat and brushes up against the sap oozing out of the pine boards. Then she lies out in the sandy loam.

Arizona the big part-Coon tabby evacuated whatever room I was doing. Marie-Antoinette learned to sit atop the couch and watch; I think she realized I would never allow the Big Roaring Thing to harm her. Chekov fled ahead of the machine, hiding in spot A until I approached it, then fleeing to spot B. Wolf learned early to retreat to the bathroom, as I did that room last, and now Stirling does that, while Dagny just watches from a high perch.

The dog is on 'Revolution' and the lady at the pet store recommended 'Advantage 2' for the kittens. So we should be good until the snow arrives.
Two cats visit, with our friend's blessing, and I just wanted the protection. It's getting colder and I'm fine with keeping Trumpy inside for awhile at night if he wants to stay.

The vet had doubled her to a full tab twice a day from a half tab twice a day. I think it's too much too fast. She had a follow up oct 7. I'm cutting her back to a half tab am and a full tab pm.
I hope she perks up. She's been eating more but drinking and peeing less. And she had pre existing kidney issues.

Thanks nurse.
They were just over for a nice visit. They will be fixing the remaining cats, getting rid of all the kittens and will be on a long vacation in the new year. So I already told them we'll take Trumpy. And Snowflake too depending on what happens.
I need to wrap my brain around this. We'll keep moving slowly and let the cats transition here. Our dog is fine with them. I spilled cat food the other night and the dog and cat teamed up to clean the floor. No barking, hissing, growling...nothing.

Gardening, Puttering and Adventure Thread, Sept 28
The enormous clump of Helianthus maximiliani, seven feet tall, has just started blooming, and the much smaller Tricyrtis will follow in a few days. Otherwise, the garden is pretty much done for the year. This is as good a time as any to look back and see what did well and what didn’t, and what did too well.
Callirhoe involucrata is the prettiest of all weeds in the prairie lawn, with a splendid display of bright magenta flowers in early summer. Prairie Moon Nursery claims that it is well-behaved: “Mature plants spread out over about 3 feet. Despite these rambling habits, Purple Poppy Mallow plays nicely with others – topping out between 6 and 12 inches – which allows enough sunlight for other plants to poke through and share the spotlight.” Well, maybe — if grown hard with minimal water. In good soil with regular water, once established it becomes monstrous, rapidly overwhelming everything nearby. I’ve kept the plants hacked back, and they’ll be coming out entirely soon.
I'm growing two kinds of milkweed, which monarchs have discovered.Don's Echinacea (photo at the link) was also attacked by caterpillars of the Silvery Checkerspot butterfly. But the flowers survived! Lots more great photos and information at the link. Take a look!
Edible Gardening/Putting Things By By-Tor is still working through his bumper crop of Habaneros. We got a photo of Habaneros on street tacos, then a detailed recipe for Pineapple-Habanero Jam on Sept. 14 and Chinese Hot Chili Oil (with Habanero) on Sept. 21. By-Tor says the projects below worked out well, too. The hot sauce bottles came from Amazon.
Still working my way through my stash of habaneros, this time with tropical jam (papaya, guava, pineapple and habanero) and habanero hot sauce.
Yet another Mini Van load from another one of our Food Forests In Ogden. Dry Farming Fruit is much prettier, sweeter than anything you’ve ever ate before! Thanks to the tons and tons of Woodchips we use we can totally stop watering. This increases the sugar content and allows everything to ripen uniformly. YOU can do this too in YOUR backyard supermarket. Even though it is almost October using Greenhouses, Dry Farming and lots of sunshine our harvests are improving! Insanely sweet Donut Peaches, O Henry’s, Honeycrisp Apples, Bosc Pears, Tomatoes NO SPRAY. Will be at the farmers markets we attend in Utah. MORE Neighborhood Farms! Chads Midgley("Dry farm" here may mean "no water since the end of August". This sweetens the fruit before harvest)

Illuminated Manuscript
Seasonal dried fruits – a chestnut and hazelnuts – decorate the bottom of this folio of the Mira calligraphiae monumenta, a collection bringing together a selection of "admirable calligraphies". A blue iris with spread petals completes the composition. This iris is also called England iris or English iris. At the end of the 16th century, when the monks of the Bavarian Abbey of Eichstätt received its large bulbs from the Big Island, they believed that this iris usually grew there. This sort of iris was later named Iris bulbosa anglicana. The small format manuscript was calligraphed in Vienna by Georg Bocskay and illuminated by Joris Hoefnagel, two Hungarian artists, between 1561 and 1596.Original:
Los Angeles, Getty Museum, Ms. 20 (86.MV.527), f° 52, 16,6 × 12,4 cm Marie-Reine Demollière

À la fin du XVIe siècle, lorsque les moines de l’abbaye bavaroise d'Eichstätt reçurent ses gros bulbes de la Grande Île, ils crurent que cet iris y poussait habituellement.

Lawns are sort of silly things, but good for kids. I like a Cape Cod lawn - which is no lawn. Sand, some wild grasses, some Black Pines and Scrub Oak. Zero maintenance. Well, we can't all have that. Deserts are easy too, except for the golf courses.At last week's link (bottom of the post), power seeding (slit seeding) a lawn.
OK, around here late September and early October is the time to overseed. Grasses like cool weather, and the new seed needs to be watered once or twice for at least two weeks unless it rains: How to overseed a lackluster lawn. BirdDog has a couple of tips of his own, too.

Near the Arizona/Utah border is this truly spectacular sandstone rock formation called the Wave that looks more like a surrealist painting than an actual place you can visit. The undulating rock formations are not only visually striking but also geologically significant, as the patterns are a result of ancient sand dunes that hardened into rock, then eroded into the fluid forms seen today.

I had an interesting thing happen in the garden: cross-pollination of summer and winter squash. Specifically, black beauty zucchini and yellow acorn squash.
Early this month, I had several weird, pale yellow zucchini that shriveled on the vine. I didn't catch on until I found an acorn squash that grew longer and longer. I'm not sure how to tell when it's ready to pick, but I look forward to taste-testing it.

The pale yellow zucchini that shriveled on the vine may not have been pollinated, or may not have been pollinated enough to get bigger.
Your acorn squash may not be getting longer because it was cross-pollinated by zucchini this year. It may be the result of seed that was somehow cross-pollinated last year. Zucchini and acorn squash are the same species.

Race against time here in SE PA. I put my cherry tomatoes into the ground too early, and for some reason when the temps hit optimum they put all their energy into growing tall, but little into budding. Now I have hundreds of buds and lower temperatures. Maybe three weeks until first frost, about October 20th. It's going to be close.
I think I understand why farmers will only key on growing one crop. The complexity grows the more crops you grow. I do know that next year I will devote at least twice as much area to growing stuff. More lettuce, more tomato, more cucumbers. Basic salad stuff that is not cheap at the grocery store, but with the addition of some small quantity of protein should cover at least one healthy meal a day.
My advice to a beginner would be to concern yourself with growing lettuce and tomato, then expand from there.

Last year I was taking a stab at trellising my tomatoes, and when it got hot, I hung shadecloth over the trellises and ran a mister under it to try and keep the temperatures down. I am never very sure if I ever got anything right, but I did get a lot of tomatoes. It might have been because of the watering though.
This year I half assed everything and did not get much beyond cherry tomatoes. Next year I will go back to trying to do the shade and misting.

Why is communism rising again?
I just finished Sean McMeekin's Russian Revolution and it was well-written and fast-paced. But depressing--because there were so many points between 1905 and 1920 when the Bolsheviks were on the verge of being wiped from history, only to be saved-at every point--by the venality, stupidity and conniving of their enemies, from the aristocrats to Kerentsky to the SDs to the Whites to the Western Allies. What an awful bunch. Posted by: JoeF. at November 06, 2022 11:25 AM (mR6Gs)Comment: What if the Russian Revolution had never happened? Or was stopped in its tracks? Of course, we live the really real world and the Russian Revolution happened, causing incomprehensible suffering, misery, and death for the next 100+ years. It's still going strong in some form or another...Based on the results of this past Tuesday's election, I have to wonder - - Did Communism win? Is humanity doomed to make the same mistakes over and over and over again? How many more people have to die before this insidious ideology is refuted for all time? Some of "Perfessor" Squirrel's questions are pertinent to Sean McMeekin's new book:
I have to wonder - - Did Communism win? Is humanity doomed to make the same mistakes over and over and over again? How many more people have to die before this insidious ideology is refuted for all time?I think that this is one reason that the book under discussion here was written. I'm not sure that this question has been answered.
In the current issue of the New Criterion, Gary Saul Morson assesses it “the best short history of communism I know.” It may be the book of the year. I invited Professor McMeekin to write something for us to bring it to the attention of our readers. Professor McMeekin writes:
My new book is To Overthrow the World: The Rise and Fall and Rise of Communism. As implied in the subtitle, one of the claims I make in the book is that Communism did not really die off with the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 or the collapse of the USSR in 1991, and not only in the literal sense that avowedly Communist governments still exist in China, North Korea, Vietnam, and Laos, and only slightly less avowedly one-party Communist regimes in Cambodia and Cuba. Rather, I argue that certain practices common to Communist regimes have endured, thrived, and spread to many once-free countries in the West, above all in the realms of government surveillance, CCP-style “social credit” systems, “cancel culture,” and forms of public and private (or semi-private) censorship which grow more blatant all the time. The Covid-19 lockdowns, from forcible government shutdowns of business to censorship of Youtube videos and the shutdown of government-critical Twitter accounts, to travel and work restrictions on the “unvaccinated,” were the most obvious example of this, but lately one can hardly miss the tsunami of news headlines about threats to shut down Twitter (now X), arrest or silence Elon Musk, or the sentencing of UK citizens for offensive social media posts. Indeed, since I finished drafting this book in spring 2023, the warning about creeping threats to freedom of speech in the US and western countries in my epilogue has proven, if anything, to have undershot the mark. Nonetheless, I understand that drawing these historical comparisons can be unsettling. . .There have been objections to his approach.
Like all historians, I am writing at a particular moment in time. If I were writing the history of Communism in the 1970s, when the Soviet Union was surging ahead in geopolitical competition with the USA, winning new client states in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, and American allies like Britain were descending into quasi-socialist stagnation owing to excessive state intervention in the economy, I likely would have focused more heavily on the woeful economic performance of Communist regimes, as many people – including, famously, CIA analysts – were then under the impression that fully state-planned economies could produce better growth and performance than freer ones, and it would have been necessary work to interrogate their claims against the historical evidence.
For a western historian today, what really stands out from the history of Communism are the eerie echoes in contemporary practices of the hysterical moral-terror panics of the Stalinist Great Terror or China’s Cultural Revolution, the bright red “denunciation boxes” the CCP provided citizens to denounce class enemies and wrongthinkers, or the “unofficial collaborators” the East German Stasi relied on to snitch out neighbors and even family members. . . Of course, few of us today can imagine suffering the worst forms of Communist repression. . . But we should still be aware of relevant historical parallels. How many of us expected in the early days of the World Wide Web that the range of acceptable opinion would radically narrow rather than expand on the Internet, or that a speech platform like Facebook (as Mark Zuckerberg just confessed) or Twitter/X (until Elon Musk bought it and restored transparency) would cooperate with the U.S. government in censoring speech? Freedom of speech and assembly, once bedrock principles of American public life, seem to be hanging by a very thin thread. I have written my history of Communism with this in mind, and I hope readers will approach it in the same spirit of curiosity – and urgency.
The verdict is in: freedom is clearly better. So why is communism making a comeback? This question frames Sean McMeekin’s impressive new book, To Overthrow the World: The Rise and Fall and Rise of Communism. It’s a wonderful read by an engaging writer with a deep knowledge of the relevant history. The 462 pages fly by. Readers may feel a certain dissatisfaction at the end, however, reflecting that they understand the first rise of communism considerably better than the second. This is understandable; like everyone else, McMeekin may still be reeling a bit from the geopolitical twists and turns of the last two decades. Who does understand this with confidence? What McMeekin can offer is a re-examination of communism’s history, with an eye to spying those genetic elements that have given it such unexpected longevity. It’s something.
Given the chance to reorganise society in Munster, one Anabaptist sect, led by a former baker of Dutch origin named Jan Matthys, began by cleansing Catholics and Lutherans, then seized all the gold and silver in the town, looted Catholic monasteries of their wealth, abolished money, and declared food stocks common property. The radical new social order was enforced by terror, with public executions of critics, and by the edict that all houses keep their front doors open, so as to ensure that no private space be allowed for dissent. In this frenzied atmosphere of enforced social conformity, all books other than the Old and New Testaments were banned, and then collected and burned in great public bonfires. Matthys’s ever-more-radical Anabaptist commune lasted about six weeks, until the tyrant of this theocratic utopia was cut down in battle and dismembered in early April—on Easter Sunday—with his head erected on a pole above the town to discourage future radical experiments.The accounts of impressions of Columbus concerning his first encounters with inhabitants of the New World are interesting. You may want to read the entire excerpt. What do you think? For some reason, the guy Tim Walz chose to design Minnesota's Ethnic Studies program for its school system keeps coming to my mind.

They expressed their gratitude by immediately setting about destroying the existing society. And there is no escaping the straight line from there to here, almost 100 years later. The Soviet Union died, but ironically their mind virus has not and is no longer a fringe long-hair worldview, but has been codified into law and policy and federal education programs and popular culture. They did a few tweaks along the way - replacing "Race" where "Class" struggle might have been used, but the technique is the same.
Notice nobody talks about making things "better" except very vaguely. No, people want revenge, for something that never happened, perpetrated against people who didn't do anything.

It can only be defeated with spiritual warfare, and the increasing secularlzation of "conservative" movements is why it is winning.
Communism has never been stopped in its tracks by secular liberal democracies, it was halted the same way all other heresies were - with faith. Reagan and Thatcher had a powerful ally in St. JPII, and that allowed them to harness Western economic strength and military might to bring down the wall.
We celebrated this by embracing sodomy, decadence and materialism, and here we are.

Mine is this: Leninism was always the wrong approach to international socialism, but the fastest method. It fell apart in the 80s. But during its apparent successful period, the socialists in the West pursued the right approach - the long, slow grind of Gramscian and Frankfurt School institutional subversion, which the Leninists were happy to foster abroad, but not at home.
Essentially, the candle that burned brightest flamed out, while the embers the Communists lovingly tended in the West eventually became the fire we're living in today.

Communism and it's half-baked brother socialism are almost entirely fueled by greed. Take what you want, and pay what you want.

I never did make myself learn about the various socialist philosophies, and always assumed the power structure would adopt whatever language they needed, to progress toward power consolidation.
And in modern day, I don't think the various adherents to the various philosophers much care. They borrow the slogans and phrases, and as you say, none of it means anything to the people, it just sounds nice.

The Russian Orthodox Church was reduced to an arm of the state by Peter the Great, who refused to allow a Patriarch of Moscow to be appointed when the post fell vacant. His successors continued the practice, resulting in what was effectively a state church, depending on the monarchy, unresponsive to the people.
The Bolsheviks allowed a Patriarch to be appointed, which quieted Church objections until it was too late, and by then the peasants were burning the churches rather than defending them.
Now look at Spain. The Catholic Church was independent, and provided a rallying point against the Reds. Just as in Russia, the Marxists went on a killing spree, burning churches, lynching clergy (a higher percentage of Spanish clergy were killed than Russian - that's how bad it was).
The Church's response? A Crusade. Spain holds.

The funny thing is, I pay some attention to the actual comedy business, and none of them seem to be all that concerned about it. Most of them avoid politics altogether.
Except the dinosaurs, who cling (bitterly?) to the notion that teevee is the pathway to comedy stardom. The actual comedians now view teevee comedy platforms as a joke.

What is an ideology but a faith? Why do we make this artificial distinction between religion and politics? The one informs the other, and Communism openly seeks to supplant all other religions with itself.
The reason Communism survives is that Western elites bought into was that there was some sort of tangible line between ideology and faith, and that faith should be kept quiet, not expressed in public or in schools.
But people are spiritual animals, so when Christianity gave ground, the Marxists heretics were ready to take it.

I watched the Jack Ryan movies this past week, and got to the Ben Aflac version. I seem to recall at the time, they said the movie changed the bad guys from muslim terrorists (?) to neo-nazis. Which wasn't the silliest thing about the movie.
For those of you who haven't seen it, *Spoiler Alert* the Russians think the Americans started it, the Americans thought the Russians started it, and it was those pesky nazzies! At one point, the Rooskies launch a conventional missile strike from planes, and they totally surprise an aircraft carrier, hitting it but not sinking it.
Huh? You had no warning? You just saw the planes, saw the missiles launched, and THEN you thought you might want to take defensive action?
But yeah, no. Maybe that's our modern military. They're doing DEI training with some tranny officer below deck, while the bad guys are approaching with sincere intent.

I can’t point to a root cause, but I have seen an implosion in American Protestantism in my lifetime… roughly the last 30-40 years. The church and preachers stopped emphasizing sin and the gospel and started doing anything and everything to entertain and attract crowds and maximize attendance. The so-called “seeker friendly” marketing approach to Christianity…. It was poison and greatly weakened the church. Joel Osteen is the worse example but there are lesser versions everywhere….. and as the church has weakened, secularism has risen…

Every communist or socialist system produces less than the inputs, every time. There is no growth or expansion of the economic pie.
Even where slightly leftist power structures are in place, like democrat cities in the US, there is a visible decline in lifestyle associated with leftist control. Even in the US as a whole, every time the left is in charge, there is a decline in living standards. Every time.

One of the huge, huge achievements of the Left has been to delegitimize marriage, and reduce its frequency.
Single women view the State as their husband, and overwhelmingly support extensions of State power.

Power unconstrained by law was the effective policy of the French Revolution. Lenin made it official policy, and like the French before him, he proved the legitimacy of his power by sheer terror.
Lenin and Stalin took terror and paranoia to a whole new level, but there isn't much of a difference in principle from what Russia was before. Russia was a feudal empire, held together by terror. The Tsars exercised power in the form of extreme violence, without constraint of law or any other institution.

I agree with this. Many different directions to go, but continuing on here: The generation immediately after this one had access to something new - The Pill. Coincident with that, the following generation was the vanguard of the 60s. Sex served to sever the ties between these generations, and Communism, which already had a foothold in the media, exploited this division to the hilt. As a result, the 21 year olds in the 60s had nothing in common with their Greatest forebears.

People who treat Marxism as anything other than a rival religion are playing the enemy's game. The line between "ideology" and "faith" was drawn specifically to disqualify religion as an organizing principle for society.

According to Larry Taunton, while Charles Spurgeon and Karl Marx didn't know each other, there was little doubt of the irreconcilable nature of the messages each proclaimed. Spurgeon went after socialism, fully aware of its anti-Christian nature. At the end of Engel's life, in fact, Marx's daughter asked him whom he disliked most in the world, he answered her with a single word: Spurgeon.

We spent 40 years lowering interest rates all the way to zero, and we continued to run up unsustainable debt. Much of that is in the hands of a few oligarchs, as they actively destroy the country with a criminal invasion and destruction of our Christian norms.

The book that hasn't been written yet, AFAIK, is the one focusing on the relationship between Clinton and Gingrich. They were alike in many ways, and bitter rivals as well. Their partnership, however, was responsible for some good things in America. Their respective falls had some measure of similarity as well. A historian could do well by getting to interview the players while they're still above ground.

I find Razorfist to be an pretty standard-issue provocateur with midwit arguments for his positions. Civil wars are inherently messy and the proof that he wasn't a dictator can be found in his profound desire to offer the South lenient peace terms and quick reintegration. His death killed that dream.

Marxism is a Christian heresy and uses many of the same concepts and language to assume a mantle of morality.
We live in an age of performative religion, so showcasing your righteous beliefs has replaced corporal acts of charity and mercy.
This is why I use the term Yard Sign Calvinists to describe the people who live in 4,000 sq ft houses and have yard signs demanding "climate action" and post secular creeds about "love is love."

Trump once spoke on the CW, thought there could have been a better resolution than a civil war. That was my position before hearing Razorfist.
From my limited historical knowledge, it seems Lincoln ended a lot of State's Rights and marched us toward Centralized Authority over states.
Lincoln also considered sending slaves back to Africa, but failed at that dream as well. Blacks had a hard time after the CW ... a slower drift away from slavery could have avoided a lot of that, in some different world. My perception is Lincoln was also serving some monied interests.

The South seceded because it lost an election. That's not how a Republic works. South Carolina seceded three months before Lincoln took office, so I'm not sure what he was supposed to do. There was an obvious option: call for an Article 5 convention of the states. This would have been the lawful thing to do.
The South chose war, and in unleashing war, lots of things got broken.
But even a cursory reading of the war and Lincoln's fights with disobedient generals, rival politicians and his tolerance of dissent within his cabinet shows he was far from an autocrat. After the war, the central government reverted to being a minor player. It was Wilson who laid the groundwork for the federal state, and Prohibition created the FBI, etc.

Socialism improves the outcome for a small selection of people.
This incentivizes the socialists. If they win they get literally everything and more importantly each step along the way gives them more power and more money. But the costs of each of those victories are mostly scattered across society so people have only a little incentive to really fight back.
So if we were to get rid of the socialist elements of our society the average person might be 10X wealthier in real terms. But...if we remove one regulation, one tax, or fire one bureaucrat the impact might be a few dollars...not enough to fight for.

That is what happened in every Western Protestant monarchy, with the Reformation. And very nearly in France under the Bourbons.

Artists and poets and technicians and architects, from the time of cavemen, have been a tiny number of people with enough raw talent to exempt them from immediate calorie-producing tasks.

Not completely true, there is a push to not fix things at the highest level, since fixing small things leads to demand fixing larger things, and unmasks the things that are deeply broken that are being depended on to preserve power.
Gorbachev did the "openness" and "restructuring" but the problem was that the previous system had hidden the massive inflation in the soviet system, and the complete dysfunction of the centralized economy.
That Milei was able to get what he has done through so far depends on the oddities of Argentina being run as a supposedly democratic society to elect oligarchs, and enough institutional memory of collapse that enough high power bureaucrats decided they didn't want to do it again.

It's no more complicated than that. Communism doesn't create prosperity, but it doesn't have to. Even the most miserable, poverty-stricken hellhole on Earth can eke out enough wealth to support a small elite in the style of billionaires. I call this the "Dagny Taggart Epiphany" after the time I first realized this while reading a sequence in "Atlas Shrugged."
From the point of view of the leadership class, North Korea is not a failed socialist state, it is a perfected one.

I am of the belief that working a crap job will make one want to look for something better. The people who would rather just be on the street with no benefits would continue though in either situation.

The trouble is that some companies actually succeed in breaking their employees' morale to the point they give up hoping for better. I've seen this happen in the 90s and 2000s. I don't have an explanation, but it may be (inversely) related to the "revolution of rising expectations" theory.

Stay "home". Eat Funyuns. Smoke dope, talk shit about the government. Chase poon, play video games. I don't know what it would take to reverse this, but "Welfare" was deployed against Black folks, and then perfected and set out to destabilize everybody.
Government Dependents. They will always Vote The Right Way. Coupled with a phony baloney "elastic currency", it's only a matter of time. No legislation can resist, nobody can swear of the Federal Confetti-Buck Generator set to "Brrrrrrrrrr".
I was of the naïve belief that if the normies could capture the legislature, the lawfare could be used for its intended purpose. Want to be a "Sanctuary city"? Fine. No federal soup for YOUR city. Have at it.
As we've all seen, our betters only ever allow the ratchet to turn one direction. It was all smoke and mirrors, a kind of grand illusion.

I've heard that, and presume it to be true (knowing little of the details). But Lincoln did nothing to reverse the tensions (tariffs and whatever else). If SC seceded legally, then that is the essence of The United States, where states have that right.
Today we still have states speaking of secession, or forming a new state, or joining another state. But Democrats love their Chicago vice grip on the rest of the state. Not sure how Western Oregon is doing (or is it W Washington?).

What is missing from what we see today is one of two key features: 1). The group must be small, the size of a congregation at most, and of a single mind concerning the material goods of that congregation and their disposition, or 2). The leader administering the process must be perfect, understanding the needs and abilities of everyone involved, which excludes everyone in history but one.
Otherwise, it’s doomed to fail and destined to be repeated because if history teaches us anything, it’s that people are fucking stupid.

The Classical Saturday Morning Coffee Break & Prayer Revival
HOLY SH*T! Watch moment enormous ‘POO-CANO’ sends human waste shooting 33ft into air before raining and drenching cars
Before we enter the Prayer Revival, just a few housekeeping matters to go over. (Rulz for those of you in Wakefield.) 1) This is an open thread. Feel free to lurk, opine and/or bloviate away.
2) Be kind, be nice. Please don't jump on the couch.
3) Running and/or jogging with sharp objects is frowned upon here.
4) Have a great weekend! A special "Thank you Annie" for providing the AoSHQ Weekly Prayer List this week. And every week, week in, week out.
AoSHQ Weekly Prayer List Please submit any prayer requests to me, “Annie’s Stew” at apaslo atsign hotmail dot com. Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks unless we receive an update. Prayer Requests: 8/6 - LMD Outer Banker requested prayers for a son who is undergoing an experimental treatment for chronic Lyme disease, which he has been battling for 25 years. He will be in a clinic abroad for about a month.
8/31 Update – The son is on his way home. After one month of treatment, the tests appear to show he is free of Lyme and its coinfections. For the first time in 15 years, he no longer has to take antibiotics. Now the challenge is for his immune system to repair itself to be able to ward off future problems. The clinic indicates that will take about 6 months of healthy eating and supplements. Thank you for your prayers; LMD Outer Banker and family are crying in joy.
9/7 Update – Someone Else asked for more information about the clinic and location where this treatment was possible, if LMD Outer Banker would be willing to post a comment with that information, or let Annie’s Stew know so she can forward the information. Someone Else has a relative who has suffered for years and was finally diagnosed with Lyme Disease. Someone Else’s relative also needs prayers for healing.
9/14 Update – the Clinic is in Germany, under clinicum.st.georg. (The URL is https://www.klinik-st-georg.de/en). It is extremely expensive. The son said for most of the people there it was life or death.
9/21 Update – CP offered to help with logistics of a Horde member needs to come to the clinic noted here. He is stationed in Germany, within an hour of the clinic. He also knows people at the local U.S. Consulate. He said he can’t promise speed, only friendly assistance and moral support. Contact Annie’s Stew and she can help you get in contact with CP, if you are going to Germany for treatment. 8/23 – Grumpy and Recalcitrant requested continued prayers for J.J. Sefton. J.J. is feeling “not too bad, all things considered”. His post-radiation/chemo MRI is scheduled for the first week of Sept, and this is when he will find out where things are at, concerning his cancer. Please keep praying for complete remission, recovery, and a return to good health.
9/7 Update – J.J. sends his thanks for all the prayers and kind words. He says he is convinced that it has helped him get this far.
9/14 Update – J.J. said the medical team is very pleased with his progress, and the next phase is 6 months of maintenance chemo and continued monitoring via MRIs, presumably for the rest of his life, however long that is to be. He also asks God’s blessing to all. 8/31 – Tonypete requested prayers for his wife’s friend Barb. She is suffering from some type of mental disturbance and is a mess. 8/31 – Huerfano asked for prayers for a nephew, FHC, who sustained a lower back injury in a car accident a couple of months ago. He is running out of treatment options, short of surgery, which no one wants. 8/31 – Jewells45 sent an update. She started on Cyremza 2 weeks ago, and the only side effects are really bad headaches and fatigue. She is praying this works.
9/7 Update – Jewells and her husband had a tough weekend. Jewells had a lesion on her leg that hurt so bad she couldn’t walk, and her husband had to drive himself to the ER. He was unable to urinate, and in terrible pain. The problem was related to his prostate.
9/21 Update – Jewells’ husband got another catheter put back in on Tuesday. On Wednesday, he was very lethargic and barely responsive, so she called 911. It turned out his sodium was dangerously low. If she’d waited, he probably would have had a seizure or slipped into a coma. He stayed at the hospital overnight. 8/31 Zibby requested prayers for her brother-in-law, who was recently diagnosed with terminal cancer and given 2 months to live. The family is in shock and Zibby’s husband is devastated. The BIL is the oldest sibling and beloved by everyone. Thank you for your prayers. 8/31 – AnnaS1’s husband died in July, and her heart is shattered. She needs some prayers. If anyone else has lost a spouse, how did you get through it?
9/14 Update – thank you to the people who have responded in comments and contacting Annie to share their email with AnnaS1. 8/31 – Morgan, loyal lurker, just got a new job and is very hopeful. He is requesting prayers that this will work out, that he can prove to be a valuable employee, and that God will bless the firm and its clients. 9/2 – Anderson Cooper’s giant anus has a praise update for the prayer list. His stage 4 esophageal cancer (lymph nodes and lungs secondary) is gone after 6 months of integrated therapy. The new scan is clean. Praise God. Thank you Horde. 9/3 – Ben Had posted that JT is sounding really good and sends his thanks for the prayers and concern. He will be in the rehab facility for a while longer. 9/7 – Tonypete requested prayers for his lovely better half. She had an injury that resulted in 4-5 staples in the back of her head. No permanent damage or serious injury, so they are thankful for that. 9/7 – Sal asked for continued prayers for Pooky’s girl, who is waiting for Lil’ Pooky to be induced (or not), and prayers for her friend J, 80, who could use prayers for healing. J. tripped and face-planted on her patio. She is home, but facing a longish recovery.
9/14 Update – Baby boy Pooky has arrived. Mom and baby are home. 9/7 – FenelonSpoke asked for prayers for healing for C, a member of her congregation, who is undergoing cancer treatment (chemo right now). She has a positive attitude, but the chemo exhausts her. 9/11 – Jmel asked for prayers for her sister, who was hospitalized, and sent thanks later in the day to those who prayed. Her sister’s blood work is looking good. 9/14 – COMountainMarie had asked for prayers. She was diagnosed with breast cancer a couple of weeks ago. 9/14 – MH sent a prayer of thanks for the fire fighters and first responders for tackling the dangerous “Davis Fire” in Reno, NV this past week. 9/14 – Sal asked for prayers for E and her 100-year-old mother, who is being moved into a new care facility this week, that the move will not be too difficult and that she will adjust well. 9/16 – Teresa in Fort Worth asked for prayers for her husband’s coworker, Chuck. He is a young family man in his 40s who received a diagnosis of colon cancer a few months ago, and things are looking pretty bad right now. He had been receiving chemo in preparation for surgery, but now the tumor(s) are intertwined with other organs, so they cannot safely operate. He and his wife divorced a few months before the diagnosis, but she is still helping him out. His two adolescent sons are having a hard time adjusting to all the upheaval. Chuck is planning to sell his house so he can move in with his dad, who is in bad health as well. 9/16 – notsothoreau asked for prayers for a woman from church, R, and her family. R just lost her son to suicide. He left a wife and 3 kids behind. There were no warning signs and R is in shock. 9/17 – PA Dutchman asked for prayers for his sister, Lori, and her husband, Fred. Fred just learned that he has stage 4 lung cancer and there is nothing doctors can do for him. 9/18 – “…” asked for prayers for a friend, “J”, who was injured in a hit and run. He is left with back pain and his arm is numb. 9/19 – Erebus asked for prayers for mom, whose years of suffering from Alzheimer’s are almost over. 9/21 – Commissioner Hrothgar offered prayers up for former (and hopefully future) President Trump, to keep him safe from harm and that the forces of evil arrayed against him and our country be made ineffective and come to naught. 9/21 – Tonypete asked for prayers for the owner of a local diner, Michelle, and her family at the death of her son due to addiction-related ailments. 9/21 – Matthew Kant Cipher asked for prayers for the soul of Alex and Alex’ surviving family. Alex was a fine young man who coached MKC’s son’s youth baseball team for a few years. Alex died in a single vehicle crash this week, leaving behind a pregnant wife and two stepchildren. 9/21 – FenelonSpoke requested prayers for her son, K, to get a job related to his major, which was horticulture. He has been diligently sending out resumes from searches online, but hasn’t heard anything yet. Also, prayers for other morons and ‘ettes looking for jobs. 9/21 – vmom stabby stabby stabby asked for prayers for a young mom who works at her dentist’s office, who is battling a stage 3 brain tumor. 9/21 – RedMindBlueState requested prayers for C, a the two-and-a-half-year-old granddaughter of a friend and fellow parishioner, who recently had a tumor removed from her spine. 9/23 – Lady in Black asked for prayers for her dad. He is 89 and has upcoming cataract surgery. The cataracts are so bad, he is now legally blind. His surgery is 10/1 and he is very afraid and worried. Prayers for his peace of mind, safety, and well-being during the surgery would be greatly appreciated. For submission guidelines and other relevant info, please contact Annie's Stew, who is managing the prayer list. You can contact her at apaslo at-sign hotmail dot com. If you see a prayer request posted in a thread comment, feel free to copy and paste it and e-mail it to Annie's Stew. She tries to keep up with the requests in the threads, but she's not here all of the time, so she may not see it unless you e-mail it to her. Please note: Prayer requests are generally removed after four weeks or so unless we receive an update. 2 Corinthians 4:8-9
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair, persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed.

I kept meaning to submit this, but I procrastinated.
A family of missionaries from my church is currently on their way to Kenya today to begin training Kenyans on how to engage in Christian missionary work in Africa.
The son-in-law of our pastor, his wife (the pastor's daughter), and their three small daughters will be in a rather dangerous country for the foreseeable future and could use prayers for safety and success in their missionary work.

Thanks again, everyone. Just finished the first month of maintenance. Amazing that it's just a pill I take at bedtime. 5 straight days per month, for 6 months.
Now three weeks off until the next round, just to clarify. I assume I will have another MRI sometime in the coming weeks. Reminds me that I need to contact my oncologist to see when.
Anyone in and around the area affected by Helene, prayers for safety and a return to normalcy ASAP.

Willowed:
On most recent weekends Encore Westerns has taken to broadcasting the “Lone Star” production company’s John Wayne westerns. I assume because A) they’re either very cheap to license or free in the public domain and B) everybody loves a young John Wayne.
And man is he young and skinny as a rail.
It’s a big contrast compared to watching him in say, El Dorado, where the little horse he rode in that was almost as big as Wayne.
The plots are barebones and the acting stiff, but still entertaining in a quaint way.
“Randy Rides Alone” on now, with “The Trail Beyond”, where Wayne goes to Canada to fight off French-Canadian outlaw kidnappers, up next at 9 a.m. EDT.

Yup, eventually a stadium was built with his name, now sadly gone. To see a baseball hit over the top of the right field wall/scoreboard was amazing. It was fun to watch the scores change on the scoreboard, occasionally you could see the person who was changing the numbers. Ah, technology back then.

I hope it goes well for them. One of the chaplains in my squadron transferred out because his family was doing mission work in the Pacific islands.
I think evangelization is important, but I don't think uprooting families and making them involuntary participants is the way to go. Maybe it's just the popular culture, but a lot of vocal apostates seem to be the children of missionaries.
I also think that where we are right now, we need more missionaries in the US. The country is re-paganizing at a frightful pace. A lot of our social problems would go away if we had levels of faith like those in the 1950s.

The stadium was built in 1908 and was named Shibe Park, after co-owner Ben Shibe. In 1938, the Phillies also played there.
After Mack retired, it was renamed Connie Mack Stadium. The Phillies purchased the stadium (reluctantly) and used it until 1970.

Prayers up for those that need them but don’t know it yet; and

"Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has been transferred to a secure location after Israel claimed to have killed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, Reuters reports, citing local sources.
Unnamed officials also told the agency that Iran is maintaining close contact with the Lebanese-based Islamist group to determine what to do next."

Iran for sure is now going to ramp up its efforts at interfering in our elections to prevent a Trump victory. And that doesn't include yet another assassination attempt, with or without assistance/collusion from the Deep state.
Perhaps it's not a bad idea to vote early in case they do hack the voting machinery and crash the system on Election Day, by themselves or with assistance from Dao-Min-Yen et. al
Yikes.

The reason Israel has turned things around is that they've stopped listening to the hypocrites who demand absolute moral perfection from Western militaries while excusing the crimes and atrocities of our enemies.
Whenever someone brings up Israel doing something naughty, I cut them short by asking what Hamas' or Hezbullah & etc. use for uniforms. What are their ranks? What units do the field?
Uniforms and ranks and units are there to protect civilians. If you don't use them, you want civilians to die. The reason why civilians losses in Ukraine are so much lower is that both sides do this. It's pretty simple stuff.

Forgiveness is difficult, especially when we ask too much of ourselves and seek to do it too soon. Especially early on, it is important to explore one's feelings and think about why things happened, what we could have done differently, and also accept that what is done is done.
A big part is just moving on and filling that space with other things, which gradually push out the old anger because you've replaced it with new joy.
For me, forgiveness doesn't really happen until I've moved on and have some distance from what happened.

Connie Mack Stadium was replaced by 'Veteran's Stadium':
As the stadium aged, its condition deteriorated. A hole in the wall allowed visiting teams' players to peep into the dressing room of the Eagles Cheerleaders.[11] So many mice infested the stadium that the security force employed cats as mousers.

It’s easy to find, my phone makes it difficult to post links. Looks like about 6 apartment buildings in Beirut getting blown up with some secondary explosions. Israel says that Hezbollah’s primary command and control complex was built underneath those buildings, and since Nasrallah is dead, it looks like they were right.

In 1969, the Mets were coming from behind and were in the process of catching and passing the Cubs, who were in first place most of the year. Cubs were visiting the Mets at Shea Stadium, when a black cat came out from under the stands, stood in front of the visitors dugout, and stared at Leo Durocher for a few seconds. The Mets swamped them from that time on and the Cubs folded. It's an important part of Mets lore since.

While The Chosen does interject speculation in order to tell a story, the treatment of Jesus is well done. There is no doubt that He is the Word Made Flesh.
Every time Jonathan Roumie is on the screen, his presence is riveting. I've heard him speak in person and seen several interviews. In all cases, he thanks God for being given the gift of portraying Jesus Christ. Roumie states that it is very humbling for him to be approached by people telling him that he changed their life, and seeing his image on devotional materials.

Civilized, affluent people have to be pushed into wartime thinking. There's also a reluctance on the part of elites to do this because other, more traditional beliefs will re-emerge, like how wars require serious military organizations, not armed Human Resources departments bedecked with rainbow flags.
Most importantly, the chaos of combat remind us that of how little we control, and that our present prosperity and freedoms are fragile, and perhaps there is a greater power sustaining us that we have all but forgotten?
Never forget that Dubya's response to the War on Terror was to tell us to go the mall, not go to church.

I was recently talking to someone who was mouthing the usual weak Western crybullying tropes... " Oh, look at the devastation, this can't continue, Israel must surely agree to a ceasefire at some point soon, to stop the carnage blah blah."
I told her "they do not have to. They may or may not do so, but they don't have to. You're only seeing it this way because all you've known is the American way of war, and we're the only country who does it this way, and it's why we haven't won one in close to century - we're the only people who pretend this thing can be humane.
War is never pretty, but if you want to see the most hideous face of it, pit two opponents with an iron will to victory against each other. Because they don't roll up shop and go home when Walter Cronkite tells them to.
You're seeing an actual, really bad war, and you're not getting it because you don't have the frame of reference to understand people who need to win, and that's both sides here."

You are absolutely correct. The success of the television show, The Chosen is showing that there is a void to be filled. Jonathan Roumie is becoming a very articulate proponent of the Catholic Church, and taking the message of Jesus Christ's salvific sacrifice to unexpected places.
There is a growing realization that the happy-clappy Catholic Church of the 1970s has been a failure. I'm chairman of my local parish's Worship Commission and at a local meeting, I stated that we needed to examine why former congregants weren't coming to Mass. One of the responses was that those people no longer believed in the True Presence of Christ in the Eucharist.
I answered why should they: there is nothing to usher them into a sacred space (walking into this church building feels like walking into an office building), and the supernatural is not promoted.

The lovely and caffeine-addicted Mrs naturalfake returned to her Gourmet Coffee Shop Employee During College Days of Yore and brought home some snazzy gourmet coffee beans to go with our snazzy, newish gourmet coffee brewer.
The coffee is....Ascension's "Pearl Snap" (I don't get it either) which contains hints of:
*reads label*
Panela (Mexican cheese)
Fruit Punch
Vanilla
Now, I don't admit to tasting any of that, though Mexican Cheese Coffee does have a certain ring to it.
But-

A toast rack. I had one in Africa. Our so-called 'Government loaf' was pretty good bread and toast only went hard if it was almost burnt or actually charcoaled!
It was called a government loaf as it was considered staple food for poor people so had to be a certain minimum weight and of a certain nutritional value. Definitely not gluten free. Real bread!!!!

"Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar has relocated within the Gaza Strip after learning about the Israeli airstrike that killed Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah, according to a Saturday report by Saudi state-owned television channel Al Arabiya.
The report also claimed that Sinwar's security circles have changed in the past few days and that Hamas leaders also reportedly decided to stop communicating with high officials abroad "until further notice."

Honestly, I thought Israel was never going to take the measures the Oct 6 attack required.
The number one job of any gov't is to protect its citizens. (A job now forgotten by the current US gov't)
After a senseless, animalistic attack like Israel experienced, it is incumbent on the leader to bring as much pain, violence, horror, and death to the attackers, their countrymen, and their supporters and anyone within sniffing distance of these folk as is humanly possible,
until they unconditionally surrender and the thought of attacking you again is simply painful to consider when you know what will follow.
Good for Israel for finally taking their number one job seriously.

I'm very pleased at the direction our diocese is taking, and the efforts to restore the church interiors, filling them with sacred images, icons and creating a sense of awe.
I know some here may have issues with that, but there are times during the Mass when my mind wanders, the distractions of the world try to intrude, and having the Holy Family or Our Lady of Guadalupe or the image of Divine Mercy at hand suddenly refocuses my thoughts.
There is also a sustained effort for people to receive the Eucharist on the tongue and I have started to do so (remember, I'm a convert, so was taught to receive it in the hand). People are embracing it, which is great.

This is a spiritual conflict and the battle lines are becoming very obvious to those with eyes to see. Just look at what the Lefties want: unlimited abortion, and elimination of "surplus" population to "save da Erf (tm)."
If you don't have any scruples against killing unborn babies, you have no scruples against killing anyone you regard as inconvenient. Now the Lefties are getting spun-up on the problem of those pesky Jews, and are seeking a Final Solution.
Oppression of Jews is always a leading-indicator of bad stuff coming down the pike. The Lefties get all worked up about the Spanish Inquisition but have no idea that it started as a means to root-out Jews that had insincerely converted to Christianity.

Youtube suggested a video of Harris getting interviewed by MSNBC and even the sycophantic interview was visibly cringing from her rambling non-answers, which ALWAYS had to reference her middle class upbringing and being raised by her mom.
My take is that the Establishment is bailing on her because she and Walz are too stupid to be good puppets. Biden was obedient but went senile. Harris doesn't understand that she's owned. She really thinks that everything she has was earned by her own merits, which is why she wants to impose price controls on housing and stuff.

The opposition to religious art is a form of Manicheaism in which the physical is regarded as inferior, or bad, as compared to the spiritual.
My pastor gave a recent homily in which he stated that the preferred method of receiving the Eucharistic host was upon the tongue.
I had less resistance from the octogenarians in the Worship Commission than I expected when I stated that we needed more reverent Communion and the church building needed to be foster a more reverent environment.

Sometimes I put a big dollop of butter in the pan, melt it, and then sort of sop it up with the bread when making grilled sandwiches. Saves time and effort. Besides, the butter is hard as a rock if it hasn't been sitting out.
I tend to think a better result is achieved by spreading soft butter on the bread first, with a knife, despite the laborious effort required*

Traded a vintage lantern and few other items for 4 nice vintage pipes. At our local antique shop. A blonde Grabow, Kaboodie, Brewster. Started restoring them yesterday. Salt and alcohol in the bowls to loosen tar, stems in oxyclean and then polish them. Need a pipe for each day. And then some.

The pitch they are using here is that it is more certain (less risk of it being dropped), more reverent, and faster.
I've found all three to be true. My old parish across town is almost finished with its restoration to pre-Vatican II layout, complete with Communion rail. A friend of mine who recalls those days said they didn't need extraordinary ministers because the priests were able to do just go up and down the line.

I have often heard that forgiveness helps you to move on. It's like setting a fracture- yes the bone will mend itself if you don't set it, but it won't heal properly.
Of course, I am also of the opinion that forgiveness should be sought by the perpetrator before it is granted by the victim, though I acknowledge thst is not a universal belief.

About 15,000 of them murderers. And this isn't much of a controversy as far as the MSM is concerned.
If Trump is successful in reclaiming the White House his administration faces a huge uphill battle with the deep state to rid the country of these killers. And all the other illegals.

Alternatively, those with gas (no jokes pliz) can accomplish this task with a little ingenuity, and perhaps a coat hanger or wire device. Coleman co. sells these little toasters for the 2 burner suitcase stoves that actually work pretty well.

Depends on the parish. At my "hippy" parish, very few veils (mainly young women). At the local Latin Mass parish, almost all women and girls wear chapel veils.
I expect that the use of chapel veils will increase as the old generations die-out, and the younger Catholic become more prominent in their parishes.

When I was a younger lad and served as an altar boy in our Episcopal parish, the minister was prone to preparing and blessing more of the wine for communion than was needed for the number of parishioners at the service. It was not unusual for him to down a healthy belt (please excuse my crassness) of said wine after all had partaken of the Lord's Supper.
That said, it was not great surprise when both he and his wife checked into rehab to dry out several years later.

Bugging out in the middle of the night due to an approaching hurricane, only to return in a couple of days to find your home pretty much obliterated is a train wreck on one's emotions.
But, then, once you get past that, a totally different mindset kicks in as you go about the rebuilding process, at least for mission-oriented people.

The biggest thing working in our favor is that many if not most of these illegals are ending up in cities, Democrat strongholds, and it is taking a toll on minority communities. I think that's a big reason the Springfield cats and dogs issue got so much traction.

Don't feel bad about not converting until you were 33 years old. I was a cradle Catholic and drifted away for decades. I'm almost 63 and am now a lay brother in the Order of Preachers, chairman of my local parish's Worship Commission, and my pastor knows me by name.

There is also a sustained effort for people to receive the Eucharist on the tongue and I have started to do so (remember, I'm a convert, so was taught to receive it in the hand). People are embracing it, which is great.
Posted by: Ace-Endorsed Author A.H. Lloyd at September 28, 2024 09:43 AM (llXky)
_________
If, as a Catholic, you take things seriously, you believe that even the tiniest particle of the Eucharist contains the whole of the Body and Blood of Christ. Therefore, Communion and how the Host is handled are very serious matters.
After Communion, the priest performs the Ablutions, first rinsing the chalice and receiving it, then having the fingers with which the Host was handled washed and received. This turns the hand back to "normal" use and means that no trace of the Host has not been received.
There are two problems with Communion in the hand. One is the increased danger of inadvertent profanation of the Host. The other is that the recipient has no recourse to purify his fingers (or hand). The problem with Extraordinary Ministers is that almost no one receives on the tongue in the Novus Ordo Mass and thus the ministers don't know how to place it.

I recall back in the late winter, early spring of this year blacks in Chicago were pretty agitated about the influx of illegals there. The city government basically told them to shut up and pound sand. Then moved the illegals up to the front of the free shit line.
Then, later, the cartel gangs showed up.
Regardless who ends up in the White House next year I think there's going to be violence in the cities as our former welfare demographic fights with the new welfare demographic.

Our Middle Class breakfast with butter and toast and jelly was just like this great nation! And thank to us, America is toast!

When I was trained, we learned to serve it in the hand, on the tongue, and on the tongue while kneeling using unconsecrated Hosts. The tongue is very easy and reliable once you get the hang of it.
That was before the big push, so mostly it was served in the hand. Now it's not quite 50-50 but that depends on which Mass. The daily Mass I attended on Tuesday had almost everyone receive it on the tongue.

It's true. Toast must be buttered during that brief time period right after toasting, while it is still hot and still yet retains some residual moisture. Otherwise, a dry crunchy toast. Common in Diners, who get a pass because of the volume of product.

Ivan destroyed my house while it was under construction in 2004. Only the framing was up at the time. All the lumber blew into the water with only the concrete pad remaining. No big deal, as they weren't that far into the build.
Sixteen years later, to the day, Sally's winds beat it up and the storm surge flooded it.
I'm not sure if the next one will be the third time or only the second, since I wasn't living in it when Ivan hit.

after your toast pops up, leave it in the toaster
it sort of bakes in there for a minute or so
it gets even toastier- very crunchy

You know, it's a funny thing, but sometimes I'll be going along, like on my morning walk with Daisy Dog, and it occurs to me to pray about one thing or another, but then when I open my mouth to say something, what comes out almost automatically is, "Thanks." Despite all that needs praying for, it's hard to not just be grateful. Of course, walking with the dog in the country on a nice day sorta works that way.

I used Knoxville as a starting point to find I40, where the road collapsed, and there is/are dam(s) in TN that if broken would flow into Western NC. Things are a little less then definitive if the dams broke, but they were certainly topped. Ventusky had kinda predicted the HC would travel north then stall over that area.

If your toast is made from cheap store bought bread, then sure. Cut it off. The "crust" if fake anyway, I think they just paint it to look like crust.
But if your toast is a lovely baked bread, home made, or from some neighborhood bakery? Cutting off the crust would be like dating Sydney Sweeney and suggesting she cut off her nipples.

Going in for minor surgery on Monday morning. I've been bothered for quite a while by a lower eyelid that curls inward, so the eyelashes are constantly irritating the eyeball. Just a little snip and stitch, a quick outpatient procedure, they tell me.
Of course, there is no guarantee. Risks involve unbalanced appearance, bleeding, infection, double vision, dry eye, numbness, loss of vision, anger, anxiety, depression, and, of course, death.
The alternative is living with the symptoms and appearance of droopy, saggy lower lid, with tearing, red eyes, and mucous discharge.
Heh. Life is full of choices, eh?
I put this off a year ago, being wary of surgery. Shortly thereafter I had major bowel surgery, and another major operation six months later. So, this doesn't seem like such a big deal now!
Prayers welcome, for successful snippage, quick recovery, and what we really need prayers for is that we can get there on time. It's an 8am appointment and we live an hour and a half away, so that should be "fun."

Home made bread, at least mine, is made without sugar so all the browning is done via Maillard reaction alone, with reduced sucrose sugars so there is no additional caramelization, so it takes more energy.

It's one of those things that proves the power of God and how sensitive people possessed by evil are to it.
Look at the absurd arrests of people praying silently at abortion mills in England. No outward sign, just standing there, thinking about God. The only way anyone knows is when they are asked what they are doing and tell the truth.
That's now a crime.
If that doesn't prove the efficacy of prayer, I don't know what would.

Daily Tech News 28 September 2024
Top Story
- What is going on in the WordPress war, from a former WP Engine employee. (Josh Collinsworth)
Matt Mullenweg is a co-founder of WordPress, and now heads up both WordPress.org, the open-source foundation that creates the WordPress application, and WordPress.com, the company that commercialises blog hosting.
WP Engine is a competitor that also offers blog hosting, and has done for nearly fifteen years. This is entirely legal because WordPress is open source.
So Matt, fed up with a competitor existing at all, has used his position as head of the open-source project to benefit his position as head of the commercial operation by carpet-bombing that competitor:Matt had a problem with the landlords, so he carpet bombed the neighborhood. He didn't like Alderaan's leaders, and so he fired the Death Star. And now it doesn't really matter what his original point was; he's made himself the bad guy.
And I do mean carpet-bombing:That post, crucially, went up on WordPress.org, which on its own seems questionable. WordPress.org is ostensibly the website for the nonprofit foundation; it's supposed to exist to prevent any one for-profit company from having too much power over the WordPress ecosystem. It's supposed to be agnostic.
Now, the WordPress software is garbage - not as much as it used to be, but still terrible - but until recently they weren't notably a garbage organisation.Not only was that boundary ignored, but since the post was published as WordPress news, it was then syndicated to each and every WordPress admin dashboard in the world.
Now they've fixed that, and there are growing calls for Mullenweg to be tossed overboard before he sinks the ship.
Tech News
- Speaking of garbage companies, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman tried to raise $7 trillion to build new chip fabs and datacenters. (Tom's Hardware)
That's trillion, with a TR.
This calls to mind nothing more than this Sagan quote:But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.
- There's a bug in some X670E motherboards where if you do something and something, something bad happens. (Tom's Hardware)
The end result is that PCIe 5.0 SSDs can end up running as PCIe 1.0 - one sixteenth the speed.
Curiously this does not affect PCIe 4.0 SSDs at all; they work just fine at PCIe 4.0 speed.
- Meta stored 600 million Facebook and Instagram passwords in plain text. (Apple Insider)
This is not good.
But it should be clarified that this is not the password database. It's a logging database used by Facebook engineers that should not have been receiving passwords at all.
- Nvidia could release a 24GB version of the upcoming RTX 5080. (Tom's Hardware)
Common memory chips used in graphics cards are 2GB each, but new chips are coming out that are 3GB, so that any graphics card vendor can release versions of cards with 50% more memory.
- Why I won't be buying a Lunar Lake laptop. (CPU Benchmark)
My current Asus laptop isn't perfect. The screen is amazing, it has one DIMM slot so I could upgrade it to 40GB, and it basically keeps trucking along. But when I'm doing a big code build it really starts to grind.
It was cheap and gets the job done, but I wouldn't mind something even better.
Luna Lake is not that.
It has a maximum of 32GB of RAM - soldered directly to the CPU, with no possibility of upgrades.
But worse, it is not really any faster or more efficient than my existing laptop, which uses an AMD Ryzen 7730U, which in turn is a renamed Ryzen 5800U, which came out nearly four years ago.
Intel is only really competing with itself here.
- In case you missed it, Ace has a great writeup on the slow-motion multi-track woke train wreck spilling hazardous flaming toxic waste all over the video game industry. (Ace of Spades)
He highlights Ubisoft's failed Star Wars Outlaws and upcoming failure Assassin's Creed Shadows, Rocksteady's disastrous Suicide Squad game, Bioware's godawful Dragon Age: The Veilguard, and Sony's future wreck Ghost of Yotei, a spinoff of the universally acclaimed Ghost of Tsushima, and mentions in passing Sony's now deceased $400 million money pit, Concord.
The only one really missing there is Fairgame$, Sony's contribution as a multi-billion-dollar corporation to the anarcho-communist "eat the rich" genre.

It does work, and the security issues these days are mostly with the plugins due to the terrible design, rather than WordPress itself due to terrible code.
But I had reason to set it up recently and to do anything but the most basic installation you are expected to modify the code. The PHP code.

Going to McConnells Mill State Park today. Haven't been there in decades. I'm sure my fat, out of shape, middle aged, physique will be fine on those steep, narrow, rocky, paths. No problem at all. Before that, I'm going to a gun show. A friend of mine is working it. Probably won't buy anything. I live in NoVA and buying a gun in PA, having them ship it to a NoVA gun shop to pick it up seems tedious, but I can look! My sister is in the market for a boom stick (AR-15).

I consciously use WordPress once a month near its end (tomorrow, actually) to run a brief app briefly that barfs out the log of purchases made and monies received by our lapidary society. I guess that there are others in the society who use it more, but "not my problem".
Raining here now. Occurs today here in Wilmington the marriage of a second niece this month. This time it she is from my wife's family.
The bride to be was in our care when she took her first steps. I, myself, bring 29 now, was 2 at the time and extremely precocious, having a drivers license, car, advanced degree and a well paying job. "Krebs, you're a marvel!" was a phrase that I heard quite often in those days.

Guess I'm one of those dreaded 'Yankees' who has changed the culture in NoVA. I've lived in NoVA longer than I've lived anywhere else now so I guess I'm considered a local. Fairfax County is more DC than Virginia anyway. I do have to say, I'm not aware of pupserserias as being a 'Yankee' staple food wise. Around where I grew up it was Primainti Brothers, chipped ham, and pierogis.

The pupuseria thing was about Eastern NC, a culture II used to know. Maybe I am a jerk maybe I am a relic, but I think Eastern North Carolina and the Shenandoah valley of Virginia have a particular culture that a lot of people found appealing. I don’t want those cultures to disappear for no good reason.
This point the northern Virginia I knew in the 1980s and on is gone. There’s no debate to be had because I know for a fact, the culture I grew up with there does not exist.
Now I see people from failed areas of the north moving into rural areas in Virginia, North Carolina, etc. and I wonder to myself, Why can’t they live where they grew up? Why can’t they live where their culture is from? Maybe I am in the wrong. You ask anyone from France or Italy or Greece if someone immigrates there they should take on the culture of that place. They moved to.

I get it. No problems. Just you know, Western PA has/had it's own distinct little culture that is being swallowed up. At some point, I will flee Babylon DC. Not sure where I'll wind up but I do want to get out of that town. I'm currently visiting family in Western PA. It's nice, quiet, rural. Its surrounded by Amish farms. I would hate to see that go. A lot of it has. Very blue Pittsburgh and Allegheny County has pushed lots of people out to the surrounding counties. That causes some unwelcome changes. The Harrisburg bunch hates this part of the state.

People on our side are talking about a takeover or invasion, I am saying Virginia already has had that happen. And I’m not criticizing any that moved to Virginia? I already said I’m not originally from Virginia. But I do find it weird that people pour in in mass to change the culture of a state to the state they left. If I am wrong about that, so be it but I standby. It is a problem.

Its, sadly, like a lot of towns in Western PA. West PA is overwhelmingly pro-Trump. It used to be very Democrat. The media, mostly, hasn't bothered to ask why. They just say they've been brainwashed. That's what the Cult of the god-state in DC say all the time. I hear it. I have to tell them its not brainwashing. It's seeing the results of decades of lies by the dominant party of the state (Democrat). That is considered heresy among the 'smart' set in DC. Conservative voters have undergone a similar reveal among there own 'smart' set.

It amused me that one year, some group in an area of the Denver metro actually put on a parade on Fat Tuesday. They didn't throw stuff, though, so that wasn't very authentic. But I did not miss parades and the traffic snarls that came with it. If I could have lived in the older part of Golden, with steep hilly streets and the Coors brewery, I'd have done that.

No one goes out for Canadian food. And to be honest, very few people go out for German food. So yes, I do think Mexican cuisine is one of the top five or 10 or whatever great world cuisines. And unlike the pretentious liberal snobs, who say they only like “real Mexican” Tex-Mex is also an amazing cuisine I would never go without. I like good Cal-Mex too.

I'm sitting there and this waiter comes over and says would I like to order. So I told him that my girl was in the boghouse. He asked me if I knew what she was having. So I looked at him a little taken aback but then told him she had been in the loo for over 10 minutes so she was probably having a shit. Talk about nosy.

Currently, politics is my hobby because it's strangely less chaotic than my life.
There's a write-in campaign for local elections because all the primary winners were new to the area, narrowly won, and have no platform. One seems oddly supportive of planned parenthood's picks for judges.
I know the judges because a "nonpartisan" PAC sent me a flyer with PP's glowing endorsements on top. The pro-life men (boo hiss) judges were at the bottom. Now I know their names. Thanks, PP!!

Oh, there were plenty of German settlers. There's a town way outside the big city called Des Allemands, which literally means "the Germans." And my father's ancestors were German, and came here to be stairmakers and other skilled trades.
Outside the city and toward the northern part of the state, I expect there are fewer layabouts.

The good thing is we didn't bring an entitled mindset with us and don't care that you can't get good Thai food here.

Mack managed the Philadelphia Athletics for the club's first 50 seasons of play, starting in 1901, before retiring at age 87 following the 1950 season, and was at least part-owner from 1901 to 1954.
Yup, eventually a stadium was built with his name, now sadly gone. To see a baseball hit over the top of the right field wall was amazing.

That's a matter of scale. Large customers require large volume and there are very few chip producing companies that can produce to meet that level of demand. Intel's one of them.
Intel's main problem seems to be flaws in the design process which leads to quality problems in the final products. When these problems result in hardware and software instability and inaccurate results, the customers expect Intel to address and fix these issues, and we've seen a repeated cycle of this lately.
They can overcome this, maybe.
Oh, and the United States Government is still buying from Boeing. Again, scale sometimes trumps a certain amount of quality issues because you've got no other good option for what you need.

IMO the bestest thing we could do, would be to make each Congressional District its own little Electoral College Election... and then whoever wins the State gets the two Senatorial Electoral Votes.
Makes it a truly National Election... and would be closer to what the Founders intended.

With I40 and I26 fubared, mid-south transport will be a logistical nightmare for a time. The roads used to bypass those closings are two-lane state/US routes and run through every little town in the sticks. Most of them run along creeks and rivers also.

Of course there are a dozen other unrelated possible explanations, but wondering if the IAF targeting naval missile stocks/sites today, I think their first strikes following the HQ festivities, implies a possible Israeli naval component in the days/weeks ahead? Coastal southern Beirut would be a logical location to put surface craft coming from the south at risk.

Based on the 2016 results (it's surprisingly hard to find out how many districts each candidate won), Trump won 230 districts and 30 states, so 290 EVs, as compared to the 306 he actually won.

Israel normally makes war decisions by committee.
Nasrallah figured that if the war cabinet didn't meet he was safe - it didn't occur to him that the decision had already been made, and that Bibi travelled to New York to preserve the impression of normality.

Also, since the obvious response to Nasrallah being killed would be an all-out attack on Tel Aviv, he figured Bibi would want to be there to respond.
The most striking thing is that Hezbollah's leadership has been wiped out - no announcements, no public instructions to Hezb areas under attack, only minor attacks on Israel - there is no one to give orders.

That's what I mean. How could he possibly be so dumb? Did he think the Israelis woke up on the 17th, had a meeting at dawn, and said "that's it. Get those pagers into everyone's hands and blow them up by brunch?"
These operations tend to be planned some time in advance, with primary, alternate, contingency and emergency fail overs.

Not to make light but I've never seen a painting of a hurricane, one that properly conveys 'horizontal sheets of rain'. There's weather art with lightning, storm clouds, frothy turbulent waters and plain old rain. But no hurricane. At least to my knowledge.

1. The Ukrainian fortress city of Vuhledar has been surrounded, and the Russians are trying to get the defenders to surrender. Vuhledar is most notable for being the site of multiple failed Russian attacks in the winter of 22-23. At the time, this was taken as evidence of the Russians being incompetent. Perhaps they were, but it was a grim preview of how bloody difficult attacking well-prepared defences would be for the rest of the war.
2. Seven hypersonic missiles were used during two attacks on an airfield in western Ukraine, destroying "up to" eight F-16 fighters. They probably didn't get eight, but the Russians thought it was worth using multiple hypersonics, which they haven't done before.

Congratulations to humanity! Verified sources in Lebanon confirm that Israel has successfully eliminated Hezbollah's leader, Nasrallah. This marks a historic victory for the world, signaling a lasting shift in the Middle East. Iran and its proxies are now gripped by fear, and instead of regional war, a new era of peace is on the horizon. Hezbollah's reign is over. What remains are its final, desperate rockets and bullets. The Middle East, long tormented by Hezbollah's terrorism—killing millions of Syrians, forcibly displacing 9 million Christians, Muslims, and Druze, targeting Kurds, aiding the Houthis' attacks on Saudi Arabia, supporting radical Islamists to strike Bahrain, and slaughtering innocent babies and women in Israel and Iraq—has tonight witnessed the storm of justice. Tonight, justice has stormed in the hands of those who survived the October 7th massacre. Palestinian terrorist Hamas must surrender, free the hostages, and hand over Sinwar—or face the same fate.

His target was the retired battleship USS Utah which was being used as a target ship and was berthed where the US Navy aircraft carriers were usually berthed.
USS Utah would be sunk with 58 dead. Like Arizona she would never be raised.

Tehran is approaching the point reached by Delta house in the movie - time for "a really futile and stupid gesture on somebody's part". They have yet to "retaliate" for the Haniyeh hit in Tehran - one of the most audacious hits in modern history. And they're now behind by several additional IRGC officers sent to their reward.

Yes, the tension and drama are there. But the premise is pure schlock.
Aliens who can travel to other worlds but are not smart enough to realize that almost 80% of the planet they want to invade is lethal to them. Right.

Day 3 should be "cook the remaining carcass in the pressure cooker with water to just cover, plus a tablespoon of vinegar for twenty minutes at 15 lbs pressure"
the bits of meat you clean off the bones can be used in soup, and the broth can be used to cook dried beans which are served with rice for another two days worth of eating.

But NOT Mecca. The Muslim claim is that Mecca was a major city and trading hub before the rise of the Caliphate but then why no Roman coins?

I don't think I cut anything vital. At worst, some of the warning lights mediated by the ECM will now not work.

The lack of Hezbollah response so far is stunning. At this stage we were supposed to be deep into heavy missile barrages on central Israel. Maybe this will come later, but Hezbollah's ability to deter Israel from attacking Beirut is completely gone.

In Canada, Hostess was a company that made potato chips.
It is interesting that they had the same name as the US maker of Twinkies etc.

Not necessarily, it may have been just a matter of acting on faith and letting God handle the rest (like the whole bronze serpent thing-it wasn't the metal that did anything, it was obedience, in this case recognizing the message from his dying wife wasn't random gibberish).
There's a news report in passing about a ritual solution in Israel, that wasn't elaborated on, which supports the notion that M Night meant the whole thing to have been a spiritual matter.
The practice of exorcism wouldn't have applied here since the bodies being used by the demons weren't humans created in God's image.

Where is the Christian outrage on the bombing of Beruit? 30% of the city is Christian.
Visegrád 24 @visegrad24 8h
Lebanon used to be a majority Christian country and Beirut used to be a majority Christian city before the arrival of Muslims.
Hezbollah has been systematically oppressing the Christian Lebanese population.
Where is your outrage?

Certainly true of Volvo, LOL. You know, Studebakers of the late 40's and 50's had one of the best heaters in the industry. There was a large heater core under the passenger seat (and dual heaters were optional!). Air from a fender vent went through a blower and into the heater core from below. If it was really cold out, you could close the exterior fender vent, and open an interior door to recirculate inside air. The defroster was a small water-heated coil on the firewall, with its own 2 speed fan, and it took in interior air, and reheated slightly, which increased its capacity to absorb moisture, so it cleared the windshield quite well, even if the heater was not in use. And all the parts were easy to reach for service.

About ten minutes later, the lights went out. Goes outside to investigate, and there's about two feet of water covering the area he had earlier walked across. By the time he grabbed the cat, the water was up to his thighs as he slogged over to his girlfriend's SUV. Got the cat in and went back to hurry his girlfriend along. Fortunately, she was parked on higher ground, but even so, the water was lapping over the doorframe as they climbed in.
Drove out to the road and he went back to see if he could get his car out too. By then, he saw the water was up to the door handles, so nah.
He went back today and confirmed that the water flooded his home up to a foot in back, half that in the front, which spared the living room furniture. Power is still out

Set up was a few short skits of a man getting into an elevator and having minor mishaps as the two door halves slide closed horizontally.
Final skit was the man enters the elevator, then two Japanese geishas scurry in to join him. Then the doors slide closed vertically.

"I'm in Grovemont. We have cell service, but no power or water. We are completely cut off, old 70 is impassable in either direction. No emergency or first responders can access us.
In my neighborhood off Westwood Ave we had major mudslides. 3 or 4 houses went down the mountain with their inhabitants. One woman died (confirmed), and there was possibly another death. Also serious injuries. All we have here now is Neighbor helping neighbor, trying to help aid and cope. We are completely on our own right now.
F&J Market, the laundromat, and everything on the river side of the road in that area is destroyed. It looks like bombs went off all over the community. My neighbor saw a man floating down old 70 on top of his mobile home this morning, screaming for help. There was no way to help him. The water was so fast. I'm sure there will be more casualties. My God, I've never seen anything like this."

Admittedly the Jews had to do the same. My/our ancestors had a fine alphabet from the Canaanites but had to switch to the Imperial Aramaic alphabet to keep up with the new Babylonian masters. Which didn't have all the consonants.
And the vowels were barely there at all, so had to be dotted-and-dashed by the Masoretes.

Playing caps and blackjack requires the practical application of *probability*, not statistics.
Statistics is what the casino uses to detect funny business.
Probability is the future (will he make his point?), while statistics is the past (is this dealer going bust more than she should?).
They are related, but require... different... mindsets to use. I aced probability in math, but struggled to a (just barely) B in using stats in a measurement class.

On the other hand, When you look at legal gambling, such as blackjack or poker in a casino or sports betting or example, You realize it is not complicated. It is simple. In blackjack or sports betting, the player makes a risk that won’t be paid off in relation to the risk he takes. The mask makes it impossible for the large group of players to win, As a group, they are simply paying a toll for the entertainment.
Casino pokers even more simple, You play against each other not the house in the house charges you a fare. The house wins every dealt. If they charge too much, Even the best player in the world cannot possibly win, They try to keep the charge just enough that you think it is possible to have a chance.

The reality is 90% of people counting cards in Vegas have no clue what they’re doing and are long-term losers. Also, when other players sees someone win, it makes them bet more and it helps that casino. The number show the casinos are winning, and if you don’t trust the numbers, check out the skyscrapers.
Even the idea of card counting has made billions for Las Vegas.

You’ll get players and even people that ride about gambling talk about amplifying a streak or never giving up when you’re on a hot streak. Casinos think otherwise, They know in the end, they will get it all as long as you play the more you pay them. In the end, it is not talent or luck the numbers of the games are already cooked in.
When you look at gambling and the impact of variance, you realize even the games were even, Which they are not, It would still be extremely unlikely to win in the long term unless you had a bankroll of billions like the casinos do.

I’m glad you won. That is cool. I’ve known many people that did just that same thing and then they have a really great memory.
I will say this one thing if you ever look into people who have lost millions of gambling, Those same people won millions as well, That is how the thing works.
When you look at casino games clearly you see how the casino advantage is built-in. The more welcoming the game, the greater the casino advantage. You see this was slot machines and roulette. They have the greatest advantage because they are the most welcoming. Games like blackjack and craps are less welcoming in the casino has a slightly less strong advantage.
Sure, there are legit professional gambler, who make a living they do exist, but they are less common than even the average professional baseball player. Probably professional poker players of the most famous and many of them are extremely smart. But it is also well-known that many of them are gambling addicts that will piss away their Poker winnings

That’s how they built the skyscrapers. When I look at people talking about or going along with sports betting, I really kinda have to laugh in a sad way.

They will criticize some random person. “Taking their card” Because that person made its choice that other Rando would not have made.

I regularly tell stories of things I saw when they were alive, of the good things they did for me, and what I learned from them, and how that benefits me even today. I still miss them, and this doesn't fill the hole of them being gone, but it helps some.
Keep your mother's memory alive for yourself and others in the same way. And I'm so glad to hear she was a great mother to you.
My mom's still alive, and we live in the same town so I get to visit with her pretty often, and we talk on the phone for half an hour to an hour every couple of days. She's getting pretty up there in years, and I'm doing more and more for her, while she still tries to do things for me (Moms, ya can't stop 'em from helping when they want to, right?) :-)
Everyone: Call your mother. Tell her you love her even if you haven't said that in a while. Enjoy time with her while they're here, and while you can. This is the time to do so.

Former President Donald Trump thanked a surprised-looking Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for ending the “impeachment hoax” ahead of their Friday meeting.
“[Zelensky] said, ‘President Trump did absolutely nothing wrong,'” Trump said as Zelensky stood silently by his side ahead of their New York City meeting. “He said it loud and clear, and the impeachment hoax died right there.”
The comment referred to Trump’s first impeachment in 2019, which centered on accusations that Trump pressured Zelensky to investigate his political opponent, Joe Biden, and his son Hunter Biden, in exchange for military aid from the United States to fight off Russian-backed separatists.

My whole thing throughout all of this is that Israel would be substantially better off if they could break away from U.S. influence and interference.
Now, maybe they know better, and believe they need U.S. money and weapons. I'm not sure they do, but maybe they think they do... or if it IS their intention to escalate this as far as they can, they are going to need it for survival.
So rather than pussyfoot around with U.S. election whims, they went ahead and said "now. We do this now."

If you ever want to go down the rabbit hole... and I mean all the way down, there's a yootoob channel called "Jamie Dlux."
Jamie is very unpolished, but he does his homework. Pretty much any conspiracy you want to explore, he's done it, but he was kicked off all the platforms until recently, and many of his videos have been disappeared. I know he's done Puff Daddy stories before, but I just checked, and don't see any. A lot of stuff on his channel is re-uploaded from the past few years.
I'm not recommending anyone go down this hole. I have, and there are things I wish I didn't know.

"Then Donald Trump came out against us. He was like ... 'They’re making Ghostbusters with only women. What’s going on?’ and got all upset. Everybody went fucking cannibal. It turned the movie into a political statement, as if to say: ‘If you’re pro-women, you’re going to go see this. If you’re not, then …’ I didn’t think it mattered at all that the main characters were women, but people brought a lot of baggage"⁰

Of course it was, viewed soberly, an intolerable threat in itself, even leaving aside its value to Israel's main enemy as a deterrent. The evacuation of the north, caused only by Hezb's more primitive and short-range systems, may prove to be a blessing, as the absolutely politically untenable situation that has to be resolved.
Maybe we'll know in due course, but could well have been a confluence of increased Israeli capabilities, the insanely disastrous Obama/Biden policy towards Iran, and the jolt of realism and urgency that 10/7 was to a complacent Israeli military establishment - and public.

So most of the fans of the original Ghost Busters were Trump fans because that's who criticized the female reboot the most.

Of course in the last week there has been an incredibly rapid increase in the margin of Israel's dominance. Tonight IAF aircraft loiter above both Beirut and the Bekaa Valley, ready to pounce on any systems being readied for launch (most of the most worrisome systems they have are not simply ready to go, and the prep for launch of course is something Israel has worked on ID'ing for years).
Israel announced no air resupply via Beirut airport will be allowed. This, as they systematically take out elaborate coastal missile arrays hidden (well, not so hidden I guess) under civilian buildings in south Beirut. This is about as total a control of the initiative as you can get in these circumstances.

I would blame us because we had a poorly thought out idea and stuck to it re: Iraq.
On the other hand, one could argue that the decapitation of Libya is what some of us argued we SHOULD have done with regards to Iraq- and that did not work out great either.
ALL of this is always Monday morning quarterbacking. BUT, we should acknowledge our failures and use it to do better the next time- and there is always a next time. It may be that there IS no good solution, just the least bad.

Lebanon's more complicated but that has positive potential - i.e. the plurality of actual or potential power players might create a situation where Israeli dismantling of Hezb military power leads to the other communities reasserting themselves, preventing a return to status quo ante.
De-militarization up to the Litani has to be the minimum goal, I would think. If re-establishment of the long-range missile threat can be prevented, Israel will have an imperfect but tolerable situation.

As Tom Servo points out, there's even a handy UN Resolution (1701) that has never been implemented, demilitarizing the south. Israel will just be enforcing a slightly amended version, in a way.

Israel is talking about taking control of the area south of the Litani River, roughly the southern 40 km of Lebanon. This is Hezbollahs stronghold, and does NOT include Beirut. This also was supposed to be demilitarized under a 2006 UN resolution, which Hezbollah has ignored.
Posted by: Tom Servo at September 27, 2024 09:29 PM (S6gqv)
***
I believe the buffer zone is the goal, along with the decimation of as much of Hezbollah. A city the size of Beirut would swallow most of the IDF and urban war is, as we have seen, brutal. And slow. And the slower it goes, the more outside nations (UN) will try to interfere.

There is a fascinating map on X somewhere which shows which groups control which sections of Lebanon, and in Beirut it is a neighborhood by neighborhood thing. As I wrote up thread, Israel has no need to go into Druze or Maronite areas, and I suspect that rather than go into Beirut itself, they’ll just bomb the hell out of the Hezbollah areas.

Two Harris/Walz signs have appeared on my road in the last week. I am acquainted with the posters of both, and can state with some assurance that they might just as well have the above slogan instead of the candidate symbols.
There's a sign-war going on with one of them. Every time she adds another local Dem candidate, her new neighbor puts up a more outrageous Trump slogan. "I'm voting for the convicted felon" has her scratching a bald spot on her head. She does not get it.

Yep. The Palestinians have always been nothing more than subsistence-wage, Islamic-brainwashed, mercenaries. Originally mercenaries for the Arab nations in the region; now for Iran. You'd think they'd wise-up. But the brain-washing (and local murder squads) have prevented it. Worse still, the UN long-ago became enablers of the low-wage mercenary status of the Palestinians. A mess that won't end in my remaining lifetime.

Israel has been so successful at taking out Hezbollah’s command level that it may come to an end faster than any of us thought possible. I think there is no way that Hezbollah, or the Iranians that are there, can now offer any kind of organized resistance. There will be fighters with weapons of course, but none of them will be able to maintain contact with each other.

The Week In Woke
Nancy Pelosi's husband sold over $500,000 in Visa stock weeks before the DOJ filed an antitrust lawsuit against the company. The lawsuit claims Visa monopolized the debit card market. Key Details: Paul Pelosi sold 2,000 shares of Visa stock, valued between $500,000 and $1 million, in early July--less than three months before the DOJ's antitrust lawsuit against Visa was made public. This sale was recorded in a congressional filing marked "SP," indicating it was conducted by Pelosi's spouse.Lock. Her. Up.
The Department of Justice filed its lawsuit against Visa, accusing the company of monopolizing the debit card market by using its dominance to penalize merchants and consumers who rely on alternative payment processors like Square, Stripe, and PayPal.
Visa's stock took a significant hit, dropping 5.5% following the lawsuit's announcement. The DOJ's investigation, which had been ongoing for years, culminated in allegations that Visa leveraged its market position to force financial tech companies into exclusive partnerships, raising concerns about anti-competitive practices.

@joma_gc According to a source who was on a Harris-Walz campaign training call attended by veteran campaign strategist James Carville, Carville went absolutely BALLISTIC yelling expletives at two young Democrat staffers, including @0liviajulianna
who works for the Collin Allred Senate campaign. The fiery barrage of insults included "dumb fat b*tch" directed at Julianna, and "out of touch fag*ots" began when the young staffers presented Carville with some social media videos they've been working on to appeal to White male voters. Carville was not impressed by any of them, saying they lacked substance. When a visibly shaken gay male staffer told Carville he needed to apologize for using the F word, Carville told him to take his camo hat and shove it up his ass before leaving the call. The joy is gone.
The University of Pennsylvania tried to bribe Amy Wax into not criticizing DEI and affirmative action any more. When she refused to accept their gag order, they punished her for telling the truth.
The University of Pennsylvania tried to cut a deal with Amy Wax, the tenured law professor who endured years of disciplinary proceedings over her controversial remarks. The school offered to water down the sanctions against her if she agreed to stop discussing--and criticizing--her treatment at the hands of the university. She refused. So Penn announced Tuesday that it was suspending Wax for a year at half pay and stripping her of an endowed chair. The sanctions, which also include a permanent loss of summer pay, were immediately condemned by the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE), which framed them as a precedent-setting blow to academic freedom. "After today, any university under pressure to censor a controversial faculty member need only follow Penn's playbook," the group wrote in a statement. "Faculty nationwide may now pay a heavy price for Penn's willingness to undercut academic freedom for all to get at this one professor." But behind closed doors, the school was prepared to let Wax pay a much lower price--provided she keep her mouth shut about the two-and-a-half-year-long case that made Penn a pariah among academic freedom advocates and compounded the fallout of anti-Israel protests on campus. The quid pro quo was outlined in a draft settlement agreement presented to Wax in August and reviewed by the Washington Free Beacon. That agreement--the product of months of negotiations between Penn and its embattled gadfly--would have let Wax keep her base salary during the course of her suspension and thrown in a one-time payment of $50,000, partially offsetting the loss in summer pay. In return, Wax would agree "not to disparage the University" over the two-year-long process to which it subjected her. She would also waive her right to sue Penn or disclose the evidence she had presented in internal hearings to clear her name, including testimony from former students who called into question the charges against her. Wax refused to sign the non-disparagement clause, she told the Free Beacon.Defund the fake universities. They're openly encouraging pogroms.
n unknown group attacked a Jewish student near the Jewish Resource Center close to the University of Michigan campus on Sunday. According to the Ann Arbor Police Department, which is looking into the incident as a "bias-motivated assault," the student "reported he was walking when a group of unknown males behind him asked if he was Jewish. When the victim replied yes, the group of males proceeded to assault him. The suspects then fled the area on foot. The victim suffered minor injuries, and he did not require hospitalization." During the assault, the assailants reportedly "[threw] him to the ground, kick[ed] him, and spit on him."A town cancelled a pedophile meet-up to take place near a school. The usual "minor attracted persons" advocates are pitching a bitch.
After local outcry canceled a camp for "minor-attracted persons" set for last weekend in Vermont, several organizations are publicly defending those who declare a sexual attraction to children. MAP Union, or MU, which represents itself as "an international organization representing the interests of minor-attracted people and their allies," sent a statement to local reporter Guy Page protesting the camp cancelation as "bullying" and violence against "society's most oppressed minority group." "While it is appropriate for law enforcement to investigate crimes when they occur, no-one should face legal sanctions for speaking freely about a sexual orientation they did not choose, nor for meeting up with others who have the same orientation," a self-described MAP Union spokesperson, who called himself "Percy," said in an email to Page he published Monday. Bean noted "Percy" is "likely a pseudonym based on the 19th century English author of Mathilda, a novel about incest between a father and daughter." The person calling himself "Percy" also told Bean, "We hope to provide a more balanced approach to MAP advocacy than groups like NAMBLA have been able to in the past." NAMBLA is the North American Man-Boy Love Association, which effectively disintegrated after a series of FBI stings jailed members for abusing children and trafficking in illegal abuse images. People sexually attracted to children are typically pornography addicts who often get sent to jail for trafficking in illegal abuse images. Porn businesses are complicit, as I detail in my recent book, False Flag: Why Queer Politics Mean the End of America, as they "deliberately insert transgender partners, children, and opposite-sex partners into pornography aimed at children and heterosexuals, in order to 'see if you can convert somebody, right?'" a senior script writer for a Pornhub company disclosed in 2023. "Many MAPs have a legitimate fear of engaging with law enforcement, even in a progressive state like Vermont," Percy claimed.Wait, are you saying progressives are welcoming of "MAPs?"

We previously discussed Shellyne Rodríguez , the machete-wielding former Hunter College professor. Rodríguez is back with a large following shown in a video with protesters chanting with her about "slitting the throats of the masters."We previously discussed a videotape of Rodríguez trashing a pro-life student display in New York. Before attacking the table, she told the students, "You're not educating s--t [...] This is f--king propaganda. What are you going to do, like, anti-trans next? This is bulls--t. This is violent. You're triggering my students." The videotape revealed one other thing. At Hunter College, and at other colleges, it seems that trashing a pro-life student display and abusing pro-life students is not considered a firing offense. Hunter College refused to fire Rodríguez. The PSC Graduate Center, the labor organization of graduate and professional schools at the City University of New York, supported that decision and said Rodríguez was "justified" in trashing the display, which the organization described as "dangerously false propaganda" and "disinformation." Rodríguez later put a machete to the neck of a reporter, threatened to chop him up and then chased a news crew down a street with the machete in hand. Somewhere between the machete to the neck and chasing the reporters down the street, Hunter College finally decided that Rodríguez had to go.

@robbystarbuck It's time to expose Toyota. @Toyota has been one of the most trusted brands in America but they've gone totally woke. Here's some of what we found: * Toyota sponsored a drag queen program at a summer camp for kids identifying as LGBTQ+.
* Toyota opposes laws that ban sex changes for kids and funds groups who work to make sex changes legal for children and they worked with the @HRC
to oppose these laws. * Toyota openly supports "the equality act" which would allow men into girl's bathrooms, sports and locker-rooms. * Toyota funded the @HRC's Time To Thrive Summit where they worked with the largest teachers union to push gender ideology into elementary schools. * Donated to the HRC, the Trevor Project, Dallas Resource Center and Los Angeles LGBT Center and the Workplace Equality Summit -- All supporters of child transitions. The Trevor Project features chat rooms where adults have been caught talking to kids about sexual kinks, how to transition, masturbation and more. They also have a quick exit feature to wipe the browser and hide the website from parents. * Funded many "all ages" pride events. * Woke DEI trainings. * LGBT Chamber of Commerce member. * Preferential treatment for "diverse" suppliers. * Hosted LGBTQ+ events at corporate. * Created custom cars with a trans flag. * ERG groups divided by race + sexual orientation. * A total commitment to DEI policies. * 100/100 CEI score from the HRC for 16 straight years which means that they pay for not only employee transitions but for children of employee's to transition in states where it's legal. To put it mildly, Toyota seems to have forgotten who their core customers are. They depend on American families and Japanese families to buy their cars. It's time to remind them who their customers are. I don't think the values at corporate reflect the values many Toyota/Lexus owners have (with the exception of maybe Prius owners who probably like the woke stuff). Do Toyota/Lexus owners want the money they spend with Toyota to be used later by corporate to push an ideology that's diametrically opposed to their own values?

Our goal with reporting is never destruction, it's restoration of sanity. We do this by informing consumers about the policies companies are adopting so they can make choices about what they're willing to support as a consumer. That's not cancel culture, it's capitalism. When we use our voices and wallets to vote our values, we can change the world and we can restore great companies to a culture of sanity, meritocracy and political neutrality OR we can inspire competitors to step up to fight for our business. The customer is king and most of us just want companies we shop at to stop virtue signaling about divisive social, cultural and political issues. Companies need to stop dividing us by injecting wokeness! If you agree then share this video and tag other accounts so they share it too. If you support our movement to expose and remove woke policies in corporate America then you can help fund our growing team by subscribing to my @X
page for $5 a month or choose any amount once at http://RobbyStarbuck.com/DEI You can become a whistleblower against a woke company at by emailing EliminateDEI@protonmail.com or by going to http://robbystarbuck.com/DEI P.S. What's sad is there's sooooo much more we couldn't fit in this video. Maybe we'll do a part 2 and/or drop key nuggets of info
It’s time to expose Toyota.@Toyota has been one of the most trusted brands in America but they’ve gone totally woke.

• Toyota sponsored a drag queen program at a summer camp for kids identifying as LGBTQ+.
• Toyota opposes laws that ban sex… pic.twitter.com/bmcWPftjT4
This is too good not to share. Campus leftists at ASU were very confused when they saw the sea of students that came out to our voter registration event today wearing MAGA hats:

No wonder he was pissed.
They not only made him take his time--probably as a huge favor--to watch it, but they made him watch the first draft!
Lol.
But wait, it gets better! He realizes they were sandbagging him, by having all these Checkboxes on the project present it, they were trying to shame him into not criticizing it, and adopting it, so when it fails they could blame him!
That's why he was incandescent--shit product, pitched by nobody lessers, that they wanted him to take ownership for.

“I made my choices and I’m happy with them,” Plummer said Friday during the sentencing phase of the trial. “I’ve found peace in acting on my conscience.”
Just hours later, three protesters wearing Just Stop Oil T-shirts threw soup on two other Van Gogh paintings at the National Gallery in London. “There are people in prison for demanding an end to new oil and gas,” one of the protesters shouted in a video posted to social media. Other museum visitors gasped and cried “No!”

Of course, when a whole bunch of people have to sell their houses to pay off the IRS house prices will plummet, thereby lowering your capital gains liability. If Chlamydia ever gets to do this, there will be some interesting calculations going on as house prices drop precipitously. Maybe you won't even have any unrealized capital gains, in which case the IRS agents will have blue balls, and have to go home empty-handed, and muttering.

Don't forget to include your 401k's, your stock portfolios and your IRA's in the unrealized capital gains tax that kamala is pushing. 24% tax year after year, that is gonna leave a mark.

DOJ has been investigating Phoenix PD and claims to have found a pattern of abuse of force, against homeless people, against minorities etc.
Well Phoenix PD and others were able to find the "incidents" the DOJ were talking about and lo and behold, the DOJ was arbitrarily taking incidents where officers did nothing wrong and declaring them as part of a pattern of abuse.
In several cases the officers were lauded for their patience and restraint with combative individuals.
When confronted with this evidence the DOJ claimed there were other occurrences not shared that they were referring to.

I know human culture has gone back and forth on the "proper" age to start having sex, but I think the vast majority of cultures never drop below female puberty. Heck, the King Arthur stories have some princess getting married to the King of Orkney... but they wait until she turns 12 and has her first period.
Islam, I don't know. I think any society that legalizes child sex stuff tends to be violently destroyed shortly thereafter, so God clearly doesn't tolerate it very much.

Today we found out that the Harris/Biden administration let in almost 500,000 criminals including over 10,000 rapists and murderers. The economy still sucks, inflation is crushing and on and on. And she absolutely sucks as a candidate.

My mom's still alive, and we live in the same town so I get to visit with her pretty often, and we talk on the phone for half an hour to an hour every couple of days. She's getting pretty up there in years, and I'm doing more and more for her, while she still tries to do things for me (Moms, ya can't stop 'em from helping when they want to, right?) :-)

FBI Deleted Video of J6 "Bomb" Footage
It's always the "law enforcement officers" who destroy evidence, and the criminals who want to preserve it. Right? Right? Revolver:Just hours ago, we published a breaking report drawing renewed attention to the significance of DNC surveillance footage that the FBI presented to the public in furtherance of its investigation of the January 6 pipe bombs. In late 2022, we published a series of damning articles definitively showing that the FBI was withholding critical DNC surveillance footage from the public, and in all overwhelming likelihood, the footage the FBI presented to the public was deliberately degraded in quality so as to prevent the public from being able to identify the bomber. In the piece in question from earlier today, we broke the news that we learned from a highly trusted source that a government employee (not the FBI) investigating aspects of the January 6 pipe bomb case went to the DNC and viewed its footage from the evening of the 5th. This government employee reported that he or she definitively and clearly saw on the video the pipe bomber planting the bomb. The employee also did not notice any degraded quality, as is evident in the footage the FBI presented to the public of the pipe bomber on the evening of January 5th.The FBI later admitted that it "no longer possessed" the video. They didn't say they deleted the videos, but... how else would they no longer possess it?
Meanwhile, the fake Inspector General says that he can't tell us how many federal informants were at the J6 fedsurrection, or how many joined in "storming the Capitol," because he has suspended this investigation while the DOJ (which employs the agents provacateurs) is still imprisoning "insurrectionists." As long as the DOJ continues pursuing grandmas who were in Seattle the day of the "insurrection," they will have the excuse to keep secret how many federal agents participated in the fedsurrection. Also, he says he can't release that information until Biden-Harris declassifies it. So... basically it will remain a state secret unless a non-Democrat is elected president and permitted to actually take office.
Yesterday in @Weaponization, I questioned Inspector General Horowitz about the number of confidential human sources who entered the Capitol on 1/6.

@BillMelugin_ NEW: In a multi day operation on Nantucket Island, ICE's Boston office announces they arrested four illegal aliens who are charged with raping or sexually assaulting Nantucket children or residents - all of whom were released from local custody despite the serious charges. They include: Elmer Sola, a Salvadoran illegal alien who entered the U.S. as a gotaway and was charged last month with three counts of aggravated child rape. The victim was a Nantucket child. Bryan Daniel Aldana-Arevalo, another Salvadoran illegal alien who entered the U.S. as a gotaway and was charged in July with raping a Nantucket child. Gean Do Amaral Belafronte, a Brazilian illegal alien who entered the U.S. as a gotaway and was charged in June with sexually assaulting a Nantucket resident. Felix Alberto Perez-Gomez, a previously deported Guatemalan illegal alien who re-entered the U.S. as a gotaway and was charged last month with sexually assaulting a Nantucket resident. All four of these alleged sex offenders were gotaways, ICE says. They were all arrested by ICE on Nantucket - in sanctuary state Massachusetts. According to internal CBP data, there have been over 1.9 million known gotaways who successfully evaded apprehension & snuck into the U.S. during the Biden administration, tracked via cameras, sensors, footsign, etc.

No matter your politics, these new numbers are shocking. Of the 7 million migrants that ICE released while their cases are being processed, 663,000 have criminal histories, 13,000 were convicted of homicide, 16,000 of sexual assault, and 1,845 face homicide charges. 😬
[...]
It's hard, if not impossible, to tease out causality. Still, it's notable that California is a sanctuary state for migrants who came to the US illegally, and today has a violent crime rate 31% higher than the national average.
Other factors are no doubt at play, including California's policies that deincarcerated, reduced police powers, and decriminalized open air drug dealing, illegal camping, and shoplifting.

Why won't Kamala talk about how she narrowly avoided political assassination on January 6th?
What should have been from beginning Dems number 1 Jan 6 talking point has been their most carefully guarded secret
What's the deal with Kamala Harris, the Secret Service, and the Jan 6 pipe bomb?
Kamala's brush with the DNC pipe bomb, which should be the Dems' biggest J6 talking point, is their most carefully guarded secret.
Why? What did Kamala and her secret service detail know and when did they know it?
REMEMBER: Kamala Harris was in the DNC building when the so-called Jan 6 pipe bomb was discovered and removed.
The bombshell video below shows that her own secret service detail clearly knew the bombs were fake in advance (how did they know this?)
Despite the fact that dems have bent over backward to paint Jan 6 as a domestic terror event, and have lied to support this theory, Kamala has not milked her brush with the J6 pipe bomb for political points
In fact, she has studiously covered up her presence in the DNC building.

The crime crime is bad enough. If the video could even be traced to one of their faux rheichstag groups like Patriot Front, we would have seen it a million times before now.
That means it either did not happen, is so blatantly a planted, contrived Jussie Smollet level hoax and that is apparent on video, or the person who set the bomb is a known, recognizable leftist. Like Chuck Schumer or Mitt Romney.

Also, the FBI has a long history of destroying evidence. Ask them for the ballistics reports they did on JFK's murder.
Ask them for the preserved door panels and ceiling tiles with bullet holes, from the passageway where RFK was shot by the CIA.
They don't have those things. Wasn't important enough to keep.

I took this route on a lefty discussion board recently. With respect to kiddie fuckers and rape, etc.
This was met naturally, with righteous indignation, and then radio silence, as no “help” was forthcoming. They are unable to make causal connections or cause and effect.
The other night, a lefty started ranting that people without children have no idea what is what. I agreed, and pointed out nobody like say, Angela Merkel, the wacky former Stasi apparatchik in Communist East Germany, should have ever been allowed to run a country. He about had a stroke, as this wasn’t what meant, Or certainly had no idea what he was saying with any clarity.
Leftists can spout multiple serial absurdities in a single breath. It is really quite extraordinary to witness. Very fun to engage!

FBI "lost" the doors to the Waco Branch Davidian compound. This evidence was crucial to determine who shot first. After the trial was over, the doors were clearly visible in a photograph taken years later in an FBI locker full of Waco evidence.

The Democrats that locked away the Japanese Americans in internment camps at least allowed them a printing press, they made newsletters for each other that have been archived and preserved.
So hopefully the dems at least allow us the privilege of still having a printed comments section in the camps, when we go. And the daily morning news, hobby/art/book threads, and the ONT. not sure how they'll look but we'll wing it.
Or the camps will be like a MoMee, except less guns and booze.

Do not take joie de vivre if you are allergic to joie de vivre.
Possible side effects of joie de vivre are:

irritability, restlessness, shaking, trouble sleeping,
buzzing or ringing in the ears, headache (severe)
skin rash, hives, or itching, bedwetting and pouring syrup on french toast.

Hours after the strikes, Hezbollah had not made a statement on the fate of its head, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah.

Their forecast track, the night of the storm mind you, was a good 200 miles off coming through Georgia. That's a big-ass miss during the storm.
Instead of this storm plowing through Georgia and steamrolling Atlanta with 90mph winds she turned east onshore and is currently touring the Smokey Mountains.
Everybody should be thankful Helene came ashore in the Big Bend. A hundred miles in either direction would've been much larger urban areas getting hammered.
It was a bad storm.
140 mph wind, 20 foot storm surge, tornadoes, flash floods are no joke.

If Republicans lose, it will be because they cared more about Trump and his bullshit than actually winning with a decent candidate — and decent human being.

They have had, now, over 8 years to craft and present an alternative to Trump.
They have been handed unlimited money and media.
Their Big Brains have come up with:
1) critiques that are happily cited with approval only by the left
2) policies that are either "the conservative case for liberalism" or 90% liberalism

Disney Is Making "Brutal" Payroll Cuts, Again
Plus: All the Woke Entertainment News I've Skipped for a Month
Iger is such a successful CEO that he has to lay off employees every three months.
More layoff news in what already has been a depressing week. Disney is in the middle of a new wave of cuts as part of a "cost-saving initiative," sources tell Deadline. We hear about 300 or so people are affected by the layoffs that started yesterday and are continuing today and tomorrow, with a possibility to stretch beyond that. The positions -- all based in the U.S. -- are across Disney's corporate operations, including legal, HR, finance and communications, we hear. Among the divisions that are not impacted in this round are Parks, ESPN as well as Disney Entertainment.HR? Do tell! Disney's woke head of Animation has been fired -- I mean, this Stunning and Brave, Stronk and Empowered woman was promoted back to her old job, which is cranking out ever-more-soulless-and-cashgrabby sequels to Frozen. Disney Animation had one hit with another soulless cashgrab sequel, In and Out 2. But that movie had to get emergency last-minute editing to remove all the gay messaging that was stuffed into it.
But that last-minute fix wasn't enough for Jennifer Lee to keep her job. She leaves Walt Disney Animation with a complicated legacy: she destroyed the once elite money-making division for anti-male, anti-white woke ideology and cost the company billions. Wait, I guess that's not really all that complicated.
A new rumor claims that Disney and Pixar executives instructed the Inside Out 2 team to remove any possible gay interpretations from Inside Out 2 after Lightyear's box office failure. A report from IGN's Alex Stedman, which cites multiple anonymous individuals at Disney, claims that Disney executives blamed the failure of Lightyear on its inclusion of a gay kiss. Lightyear only grossed $218.7 million according to The-Numbers. The film had an estimated production budget of $200 million. One source told Stedman, "It is, as far as I know, still a thing, where leadership, they'll bring up Lightyear specifically and say, 'Oh, Lightyear was a financial failure because it had a queer kiss in it. That's not the reason the movie failed." Despite this source's claim, Disney executives instructed Pixar creatives to make Inside Out 2 "less gay." Stedman writes, "Sources describe rumors that there was special care put into making the relationship between Riley and Val, a supporting character introduced in Inside Out 2, seem as platonic as possible, even requiring edits to the lighting and tone of certain scenes to remove any trace of 'romantic chemistry.' One source told him that Pixar did "a lot of extra work to make sure that no one would potentially see them as not straight."
Alan Ng notes that there's an "untitled Disney anination" coming out Thanksgiving of this year. That movie was just revealed to be a soulless, cashgrabby sequel to Moana. Moana 2. Love the creativity. But Moana 2 was already commissioned as a Disney Plus tv show. Disney is now scrambling to convert it into a film they can release in the Thanksgiving window. Why all the last-minute scrambling? Ng thinks he knows why: Because Iger cancelled the movie one of Disney Animation's Four Woke Horsemen of the Apocalypse had been developing:
With Jennifer Lee firmly in place as the head of Walt Disney Animation and her plans for 50/50 female/male animator equity in place, her next goal was to include diverse voices to lead the next generation of feature animation. In 2019, Lee announced the names of four storytellers to direct four new films (Variety). From within WDA, Lee chose Josie Trinidad (story for Zootopia and Ralph Breaks the Internet) and Marc Smith (director of story for Frozen II). Lee pulled the other two from outside. The first is Carlos Lopez Estrada, who directed Raya and the Last Dragon, and Iranian-American filmmaker Suzi Yoonessi (Unlovable and Dear Lemon Lima). Many of the veteran animators saw these hirings, particularly Estrada and Yoonessi, as WDA embracing DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion). Disney had a long line of veteran animators investing time and energy in the hope that one day they would helm a Disney classic. Now, these scarce opportunities were given to people who were labeled diverse and never worked in animation. As uncovered in past D-Files, the "Old White Guys" were not given prominent scenes to animate in favor of inexperienced women of color. This snub began the slow and total exodus of veteran talent from Walt Disney Animation to competitor studios, including Skydance.
There are so many Woke Videogame Disasters that Imma have to speedrun them: Ubisoft made a woke Assassin's Creed game. They finally set one of their historically-themed stealth actioners in Japan. (The game is about assassins that are essentially ninjas, so people have asked for a Japan-set game for years and years.) But then they changed their minds and decided they hate money after all when they made the main character one of those very, very real "black samurais" you've heard so much about. Oh and he's also gay. They've delayed the game's release until next February. Ah, February -- the 12th best month to release a videogame. No thanks, Thanksgiving and Christmas! We don't need you!
My sources tell me that the untitled Disney Animation was never supposed to be Moana 2 but a story spearheaded by diverse hire Suzi Yoonessi. Though Yoonessi had several successful live-action films under her belt, she may have found herself in over her head in the world of animation. It appears that Yoonessi's film was not only paused bu flat out canceled. This film was about to enter the launch sequence when Wish came out but was canceled at the last minute. This left Walt Disney Studios with only two films in theaters in 2024, Young Woman and the Sea at the beginning of the year and Mufasa at the end.
They're trying to beat Disney at being Disney. Ubisoft is already reeling from its release of an underperforming, glitchy, boring, woke Star Wars game.
A financial analyst described Ubisoft's sales collapse and its delaying of Assassin's Creed Shadows a "total meltdown" and the company's stock collapse proves that true. Valliant Renegade reacted to the news that broke yesterday afternoon in the United States that Ubisoft was not only delaying Assassin's Creed Shadows, but that they were reducing their sales expectations for its second quarter by 30% from 500 million to 350-370 million [Euros]. On top of that the company also revised their entire year expectation to "around break-even" instead of profitability. He described it as a "total meltdown." Valliant Renegade specifically reacted to the stock price crashing nearly 20% since the market opened this morning around 9 [Euros]. He stated, "A little over four years ago Ubisoft was trading at nearly 90 Euros. 9-0 euros. And four years and seven months later here we are nine euros. That means the company has shed 90% of its total market capitalization. And right now as this continues on, this is going to make Ubisoft worth probably less than $1 billion on the open market by the end of trading today."
Ubisoft's CEO denies that it is pushing "any particular agenda" -- but its website says it is pushing a woke agenda.
In a document providing new financial targets for FY2024-25, Ubisoft drastically cut its net bookings projections for FY2024-25 from 500 million to 350-370m million [Euros]. The company explained the main reason for their net bookings being cut by up to 30% is "a reflection of decisions taken for Assassin's Creed Shadows and the softer than expected launch for Star Wars Outlaws.
Rocksteady's Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League is such a huge, woke calamity that the studio itself probably will not survive it. Its original base game was woke trash, and they've sought to build on this non-success by giving people what they've always wanted: a gender-swapped Mr. Freeze. Well, that didn't work, and the already small player base continued to crater. But don't worry, they're righting the ship with an exciting new idea they've never tried before: Gender-swapping Deadshot. See, this is Deadshot, not Mr. Freeze. Different! Dragon Age: The Veilguard is pursuing the Modern Audience by allowing people, in its character customization menus, to give characters masectomy scars so that "trans people can feel seen and validated." You may think: Well, if this is all chosen by the player, what's the harm? Give everybody what they want? Except if what you want is a woman with a womanly body. Because while the game has trans breast-chopping scars as a much-ballyhooed option, the maximum breast size you can give a woman is what looks like "full A-cups." You also can't give them butts. It has been reported before that, supposedly, the command to make all female video game characters sexually ambiguous and masculine isn't just about feminists demanding that the "male gaze" always be disappointed, so that ugly women aren't forced to look at pretty women (even if fake videogame women) and feel emotionally triggered. The imperative also comes from trans activists, who want to see "women that look like themselves," that is to say: Men. Reportedly, the trans-encouraging, real-women's-bodies-allergic game's sales are "piss poor."
[Ubiosoft CEO Yves Guillemot] then concluded his remarks, "Finally, let me address some of the polarized comments around Ubisoft lately. I want to reaffirm that we are an entertainment-first company, creating games for the broadest possible audience, and our goal is not to push any specific agenda. We remain committed to creating games for fans and players that everyone can enjoy." Guillemot repeated this prepared remark word-for-word during the company's Trading Update Call. However, this is an obvious lie as Ubisoft's website makes it very clear it does have a specific agenda. On the company's Diversity, Inclusion and Accessibility page, a statement from Raashi Sikka, Ubisoft's Vice President of Global Diversity and Inclusion says, "For Ubisoft, putting diversity and inclusion at the heart of everything we do means providing an environment where employees can thrive, building open-minded communities where players can connect, and creating games that reflect the diversity of the world we live in."
YouTuber Doctor Disaster shared, "I have an acquaintance in the retail world, someone who runs nine stores that sells video games. And I am hearing that these ratios that we're seeing in damn near every video released for Dragon Age: The Veilguard, these ratios are correlating with piss poor pre-sales data. People are not connecting with The Veilguard because Dragon Age games are supposed to be dark and gritty and this just looks completely soft."
A couple of years ago, there was one videogame universally praised for not having any wokeness in it, and just delivering a solid, immersive game that players wanted. That game was the Third Person Samurai game Ghosts of Tsushima. Well, they have a spin-off coming out, and you'll never guess.
They picked someone who will really appeal to The Modern Audience as the game's star, too.
Layden shared his comments while reacting to YouTuber Endymion's initial reaction to the game's trailer. He wrote, "Ghost of Tsushima sequel stars a Japanese woman samurai warrior because of course it does. They can't help themselves until every franchise that was built on masculinity is replaced by women." He added, "Ghost of Yotei is (hopefully) a small spin off game, but if this is the true sequel & this is the new main character over Jin Sakai, f**k that. So sick of the forced girlboss narrative man." YouTuber Mightykeef reacted to this by attacking Endymion and writing, "Man what an absolute loser." Layden responded to this post writing, "1 It's a game. An entertainment. A story a team of creators believes in. They want to make this." He added, "2 it's a game. If you don't like it, don't buy it. In fact, why not make the game you want yourself?"
Sony just spent $400 million developing another woke game -- full of racial, sexual, and body diversity, because everyone dreams of being an obese yet agile assassin -- which immediately became one of the biggest disasters in years. A designer says that the game's development was ruined by a "toxic positivity:" You simply were not allowed to point out the game's flaws, or question why we need even more obese black half-head-shaved lesbians as superheroes. Only cultish praise was permitted.
Sucker Punch, a subsidiary of PlayStation Studios, announced their next title Ghost of Yōtei, a sequel to Ghost of Tsushima, and revealed that the game's main character, Atsu, will be voiced by radical activist Erika Ishii.
Sucker Punch shared on X, "We are thrilled that Atsu is played by the amazing Erika Ishii!" Ishii is an radical activist, who claims in her X bio that she uses "all pronouns." Furthermore, Ishii is activist that supports body mutilation. In June she encouraged her followers on X to support ForTheGworls that targets black individuals to encourage them to butcher themselves. She wrote on X, "Non-Black folks looking to observe Juneteenth: Black nonprofits often receive aid in boom-or-bust cycles. This year, consider making a monthly pledge. Whether you donate, volunteer, or commit to learning please join me in my quest to be intentional & sustainable! I'm supporting: ForTheGworls a Black trans collective that helps pay for rent & gender affirming surgery in the Black LGBTQ community." Ishii previously promoted the organization in 2023 as well, "Today, please consider supporting ForTheGworls, a Black trans-led nonprofit. Our Black trans siblings are especially vulnerable now, and I donated in honor of Juneteenth2023 & Pride2023. But please join me in pledging to do our best to support Black justice year round!" In February 2023, ahead of the Hogwarts Legacy release, Ishii appeared to support the failed boycott of the game due to J.K. Rowling's outspoken stance on transgender activists. Ishii wrote, "I used to love Harry Potter. Went to every midnight release, cosplayed, was even in an HP themed improv group. Now I'm happy to instead support & be part of fantasy narratives where ALL are welcome. Trans community, we deserve our own better magic. I will always fight for that." She included a video of her stating, "F**k Terfs." In a subsequent post, Ishii added, "Muting, but wanted to reiterate: trans rights are human rights. I ask that instead of replying to negative comments to turn that effort towards positive action: a donation, sharing/supporting trans creators & trans joy, or checking in with your trans friends & their happiness!" Not only does Ishii support body mutilation and transgender ideology, but she also claims that the police are "white supremacist." Back in 2021, she wrote, "We will not let these terrorists shake our resolve. 2020 showed us that we WILL rise up and make our voices heard. Despite voter suppression, facing down a white supremacist police force, risking health & safety, we hit the polls & streets to say NO MORE. They can't stop us." ... On top of hiring Ishii, Sucker Punch hired former Insomniac Games Community Manager and Sweet Baby Inc. defender Thomas Hart to be the company's Community Manager beginning in April 2024. Hart announced he joined Sucker Punch writing on X, "Incredibly excited to announce that today is my first day at Sucker Punch as a Community Manager!" He defended Sweet Baby Inc. just a month prior, "This whole Sweet Baby controversy is mind numbingly dumb. Most people have no idea how games are made or what a consultant does. Many don't even care to listen when someone tries to explain it to them. They would much rather have an other to demonize."
Next, he shared that there was a "toxic positivity vibe." He stated, "You weren't allowed to say anything internally about this game. About how something is wrong with it. Character designs are not right. They really, truly believed. This was Herman Hulst's baby apparently. And he internally was himself a massive champion of the game."The game was so immediately repudiated by the public -- barely anyone bought this $400 million game, and I think I read the maximum number of players on the game's servers was like 750 worldwide in the first week -- that they shut down those servers after two weeks and the game's director reportedly stepped down. Sweet Baby Inc. is a company of "diversity consultants" who are hired by videogame companies so that SJWs do not attack and boycott them. It's a racial/gay/trans shakedown, in other words. One of their non-binary (of course) employees admitted that zis goal is "to burn the games industry to the ground." Can't have straight men deriving any Unapproved Pleasure!
A Sweet Baby Inc. employee named Camerin Wild, who claims to be non-binary, admitted that his goal is "burning the games industry to the ground."And you're doing a fantastic job of it.
In a presentation titled "How to Get Away With Murder Subverting Genre Expectations" at The Game Developers of Color Expo discovered by YouTuber Kirsche, Wild introduces himself saying he is a "narrative designer and sensitivity reader with a company called Sweet Baby Inc." Wild, who according to Moby Games worked on Tales of Kenzera: Zau, Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, Alan Wake II, The Crew: Motorfest, Kingdom EIghties, and God of War: Ragnarök, then declared "the stories we tell each other are way more than entertainment. They are how we create debate and preserve our collective values and beliefs. And we can and should make better more expansive, more representational content." Then in a slide titled, "Cool, so why am I here?" One of the bullet points states, "Burning the games industry to the ground."
Is there anything worth playing? Well, despite Games Workshop itself being increasingly woke, the licensed game Space Marine 2 is being hailed as throwback to when games were just fun and exciting. And non-woke. The game is being attacked by leftists because someone at the company making the game -- possibly the CEO -- made the triggering statement that videogame designers should not be in the business of imposing their moral agenda on a captive audience, which caused all the mentally-ill internet addicts to begin showing their mental illnesses on the internet.
In the next slide titled "So why am I still here?" One of the bullet points states, "To prove that space where whiteness doesn't have to live-is where some of the best stories are told."
Hey man. CEO of Saber here. I love your videos. When we signed the deal to make Space Marine 2, all I wanted was a throwback game. We had the chance to work on something which by its nature was "old school". I can't even comprehend many of the current games that we play these days. They are too complex and too much of an investment. We worked on Halo back in the day, and that game could be distilled down to the simplest of shooting loops, but it was entirely addicting. That is what we wanted to recapture. I hope that games like Space Marine 2 and Wukong are the start of a reversion to a time when games were simply about fun and immersion.Oh my -- how offensive! Below, some more about Disney.
The Acolyte was Disney's poorest-viewed and worst-rated Star Wars fan fiction effort. Its second season has been cancelled, or, rather, it hasn't been picked up for a second season. The Terminally Online Retards who spend every single day demanding that all IPs add gayness everywhere and race-swap all characters are melting down, because, at last, their decade of Marxist lies about "the modern audience" showing up to embrace these woke abortions have been rubbished.
This latest catastrophic failure cost $230 million -- and that's just what Disney admits. The showrunner and non-binary diverse star of this show let everyone know right off the bat who this show was made for, when they eagerly agreed it was "the gayest Star Wars content ever." It was about, infamously, a coven of lesbian witches. Now comes Disney's Agatha All Along, which is about, stop me if you heard this one before, a coven of lesbian witches (and one twink gay male). But this is different from The Acolyte's lesbian space witches. These lesbian witches are earth-bound. Totally different concept! And because it worked out so well for The Acolyte, a gay-agenda propagandist demands that each cast member affirm that it is "the gayest Marvel content ever," and each is glad to do so:Then how bad is 9.3 million in 7 days? pic.twitter.com/XcdKG5Fovx

Sure. Okay. So go ahead and cater to that market.
Just understand that this market is quite small. You can design and build for it, just be sure that you're not investing more than the market is worth in the exercise.
This is *the* core problem with the "woke" stuff across the board. It isn't that there's no market for it, it's that the market is tiny. This tiny market is very loud, but the noise far exceeds the size. You can't invest hundreds of millions in a product for a market sized in the hundreds of thousands. The math just doesn't work.
It's why the "Galactic Starcruiser" attraction failed, but "Rock 'n Roll Fantasy Camp" didn't. They're more alike than they are different. Both are focused on a tiny market of well-to-do middle-aged obsessives. There's money to be made there - but not if you spend half a billion dollars on infrastructure. The market can't support that. "Rock 'n Roll Fantasy Camp" doesn't build an arena for its events. It couldn't make money if it did.

I see this as more of a indictment of the live service model of gaming at all.
You have to win opening weekend, so to speak, and you have to win it big to get AAA money back. If you don't, if the launch is soft, you don't have any time to make it back up. You shut everything down and can't make anymore money on it.
Cyberpunk, on the other hand, had a disastrous launch, fixed itself over years, and reportedly is in the black for Project CD Red.

Don't discount the idea that he isn't lying. This is fairly common. "We don't have an agenda, we just do the right thing" or "what agenda? We're just being sensible, which all sensible people will understand." - these are common positions, and many of the people who hold those positions believe it.
If you're in deep enough, you can in fact fail to realize that you even *have* an agenda at all.

Its ratings are actually 40% less than what The Acolyte got in its first week, and The Acolyte was cancelled, despite the caterwauling from the Twitter weirdoes.

Considering the extended production schedule (it was announced, like, four years ago), I suspect Agatha may actually end up being more expensive than The Acolyte, as well.

Meanwhile the sounds of the MAG-TF demo at Miramar are wafting this way. Very noisy stuff, jets, choppers, armor, pyrotechnics. Only demo like it anywhere in the world AFAIK. Occasionally the sweet mechanical sound of .50 cal used to drift this way when they were using the ranges to the east, but that doesn't happen any more. Was fun explaining that sound to a neighbor.

Be careful what you wish for.
"We made the thing *we* wanted" is bad business. You make the thing the *customer* wants. If you're lucky - and most people aren't - that will also be what you want. It doesn't have to be. Never conflate yourself with the customer. Down that road lies bankruptcy.
Yet virtually all cultural produce at the moment is created not for the audience, but for the producers themselves. It's what they want, so obviously it's also what the audience wants, right? RIGHT?!

In my director runs, I occasionally come across something that's outright propaganda. Howard Hawks' Air Force. Akira Kurosawa's The Most Beautiful.
They're generally...not their best work.
However, propaganda can work. There's a Soviet movie called Soy Cuba, made in Cuba right after the revolution, and it's a series of short films. It's all about how the previous regime was evil and awful. The stories are actually fairly compelling.
Hero, the Jet Li movie from 20 years ago, is outright Chinese fascist propaganda. It's pretty fun.
It's hard to do right. You can never quite escape from the obviousness, but you have to actually have narrative skills to pull it off.

Meh. One has nothing to do with the other. You can say - and believe - that one is "as good" as the other. That doesn't necessarily translate into success or failure.
But for most people, an opinion of "A is as good as B" also isn't relevant.

If we're all invested in seeing Hollywood's financial collapse, pirating your entertainment gets us there faster.
Regarding video games, my understanding is a game called "Black Myth:Wukong" that was developed in China has been a massive hit, and isnt woke. Activists tried to get in cancelled because the developers wouldnt allow early reviews to engage in political topics like "feminist propaganda".
So they attempted to cancel it because the developers wanted to steer clear of politics.

I shared this idea before, but the Kamala campaign strategy of swapping "joy" for Obama's "hope" doesn't work, precisely BECAUSE they have conditioned their followers to despise toxic positivity.
You can't feel joy if you are constantly offended and always afraid, as the dems have conditioned you to be.
You also can't feel joy because in the real world, you are smacked in the face with increasingly rising costs in your everyday life.
Kamala isn't talented enough to sell the joy lie. So it comes across as false and toxic.

Frozen, for all it's success (for the record, I mostly like it) was also given a little woke English on the ball. The original script had Anna in a romance with a male, it was changed into 'sisterly' love instead at the last moment. Also the 'sisterly' love is pretty much lesbian incest in the direct-to-video sequel 'A Case of Spring Fever'. So....there's that.
The porn is good, at least.

I doubt it.
Ubisoft *already* had to reissue guidance for this fiscal year, and it's bad. They probably looked at the calendar and said, "pick the latest date that still leaves us a month or two in the fiscal calendar to put up *something* when we go talk to the shareholders, because they might literally barbecue us if we actually have literally nothing to show."
That put the date in February. I suspect "buy as much time as you can, but it get it out in time to rack up some sales before we go to the shareholders" is more likely than "Black History Month makes it okay." This is probably a coincidence and they didn't even realize it. Yet it's so stupid - yet so believable - that it makes them look even dumber.

I didn't watch Zootopia; but I was a yuuge bigleague fan of Wreck It Ralph, so saw Trinidad's sequel as soon as possible.
The sequel was about the biggest letdown I've ever suffered from a sequel. It was anti "toxic masculinity" from start to finish. It made Ralph's whole arc from the first movie into nothing.
Trinidad is exactly the person I would not hire to do anything beyond serving pumpkin lattes to the animators.

Agreed re the decorations. And the Douglass House is definitely worth seeing.
It is in Anacostia, which has a bad rep, but the part we were in, at least, seemed OK. A little bit down at heel, but not the crime-ridden slum I have always pictured it as. Actual houses and functioning businesses.

This was always my problem with Marvel's Black Widow
She's a great spy? So no one should know what she looks like, and if she kills someone it should be with a bomb, a poison or with a sniper rifle.
Instead she's kicking aliens in the face in downtown New York city standing next to The Hulk and Thor.

Elsa was supposed to be the villain, Hans a genuine good guy love interest. When the songwriters made "let it go" about the villain's motivations, they decided to switch villains. Problem is they already had planned out most of the movie. I actually like they focus on sisterly love as the twist.
Back when cracked was still actually funny, they created a fan theory that the trolls (who we learned form the beginning are meddlesome) bewitched things to turn Hans evil, so that Anna can end up with their beloved Kristoff. Because the writers plant few if any hints that Hans will become the bad guy. It was lazy writing of them, but making a billion+ cash cow forgives a lot of hasty storytelling sins.

I care about the cultural rot selfish, empowered, childless chick-brains have wrought on our once great nation. It is those cvnts and the cucked men that fear them who plowed a successful patriarchal and merit-based nation under, then quickly threw a party with such things as fat lesbians in pulpits showering the pretenders with guilt and shame. All to the thrilled delight of the faux-enlightened and spiritually polluted pew-sitters.

We saw the first episode of "The Penguin" last night.
Surprisingly, it was pretty good. A solid B, maybe B+.
There's some incipient woke-ification that might signal craptostic bed-shitting ahead but we'll see.
F'rinstance, Oz's sidekick is a Black Street kid he "gave a chance to" just cuz. And Oz's main antagonist is a dead mafia chief's crazy daughter.
But, so far, they've handled these elements well, integrating them into Oz's story instead of The Penguin being the sidekick in his own show.
Check it out. Streaming on Max.

Considering who I am, to quote a certain harpy chick actress, "it wasn't made for you," but I'm still going to say the story is not the worst thing about it.
It's the songs. They're the worst, but they get under people's skin, because that's what bad songs do. And I hate that singer the most, it's a style Dinsey seems to encourage, and she's the worst at it. And believe me, I've been inundated with all of Dinsey's product.

The Penguin is a great character to build a show around b/c his power has always come from his personnel and power building. He doesn't start rich. He doesn't start powerful. He doesn't have powers. He just starts by knowing what he wants, and doing anything to get it. A great villain concept.

I've been looking forward to it for FOREVER, and still play the shit out of Assassin's Creed: Odyssey.
I had already set aside the money to buy a PS5 and the game; however, now I think I'll spend that money elsewhere.

DisneyChannel used to be fun to have on in the background. Cute shows, the older stuff was laugh out loud funny at times.
But then, it became unsafe for parents to have on for kids starting with 'Andi Mack' and Disney's first gay character. The show wasn't that bad and didn't even mention 'gay' until the third season.
Then the channel became the BET of children's programming. Skewed heavily black. There were other channels to have on without the bullshit.
And that channel used to drag kids into other things Disney. But it's hard to use the channel as an advertising vehicle when no one's watching....

The "good looking lesbians", that is. You want to make your "coven of lesbian witches" movie? Make the lesbian witches hot and appealing to men (I.e. not hostile) and you'd probably get away with it.
For that matter, most women dress to impress other women, not men... and most women would rather watch a good looking woman than a troll in a dress too. The troll in the dress is the bad person! See the movie Matilda.
This shouldn't be that hard. But of course the people in charge are the trolls in the dress that want to be the movie star heroes.... and just cannot accept they aren't star quality.

This is what needs to happen. Skill and talent aren't something you can just replace. You can grab random people off the street for skin color and genitalia, but the end product, the output, is a function of its input. Garbage in, garbage out. If they don't have the actual skills, the output is going to be poor quality.
A company can coast on poor quality because of their name. But people will question themselves on why things are broken, or suck. Then they'll realize that, indeed, they suck, and why should they waste precious money on things that suck rather than finding a better use of it elsewhere. And just like that, the gradual death of a company then becomes sudden.
And those that actually have the skills, and spent their lives working hard at their vocation? The ones spat out because of racism and sexism and ageism? There need to be companies to scoop them up. To invest in actual talent, and create magic much like we saw decades ago.

As If Olivia Nuzzi Wasn't Embarrassed Enough About Sending "Demure Nudes" to RFKJr., This New Revelation Is Really Gross
RFKJr. is one thing.
But guess who just came out of the woodwork to squeak "Notice me! Notice me again! I'm still relevant!" And who claims to have been in a relationship with Nuzzi? This gross bathtub monster.Confirming the past liaison via social media on Tuesday, Olbermann revealed that the details of their association came to light as Nuzzi faced scrutiny over her connection with Kennedy. This disclosure arrives amid news that RFK Jr. is contemplating legal action against Nuzzi for allegedly inundating him with explicit content after misleading him to unblock her contact information--a claim shared by an individual familiar to both parties. The spotlight on Nuzzi's personal life illuminates much about her interactions, particularly with public figures. Olbermann, reflecting on their past, remarked that their relationship wasn't hidden, though he mistakenly believed it garnered no public interest.By which I assume Olbermann means: I contacted someone off-the-record to tell them I banged this woman, and then asked them to publicly ask me about the affair, pretending that they heard about it from someone else.
Furthermore, he characterized their time together as remarkably mundane yet pleasant, highlighting a memorable moment when they adopted a dog together--an experience he cherishes greatly.You say this is a victimless crime? That poor dog.
Despite the controversy surrounding Nuzzi's recent actions, Olbermann expressed disdain towards Kennedy's response to the situation, criticizing his attempt to potentially pursue legal steps against Nuzzi.Right, the real way to get vengeance is to constantly dribble out gross dox material on anyone you ever slept with. These people have the morals of actors but the sex appeal of grave-diggers.

One thing that irritates me about "Eyes Wide Shut" is that they swapped out the music of the orgy,
supposedly becuz it was a Hindu hymn or some such thing. Which is lame.
One the upside, they replaced the Hindu music with-
"Yakety Sax", so it all worked out.

I fully understand not believing polling. What I don't understand is wanting to believe polling and then having the worst time figuring out which ones are probably close to right and which ones are just straight bullshit.
Most of these polling firms have histories you can look up. You don't have to rely on 538 telling you if one is good or not. You can see, "Oh, Rasmussen was the third most accurate pollster in 2020."
Are they right this time? I dunno. Probably not. They weren't right in 2020, but they were one of the least wrong. The ones regularly saying Harris is up by 6? They either don't have a history or they were very wrong in 2020.

Posted by: TheJamesMadison, terrorizing teenagers with Michael Myers at September 27, 2024 03:19 PM
I'm a high information math centered guy. Rasmussen is very wrong this time. Not his fault, he can't very well change the methodology mid-stream. He over weights both (D)'s and (R)'s at the expense of (I)'s. He over weights (D)'s over (R)'s. He does not mention the 'shy' Trump poll taker who made every pollster wrong in 2020 by between 2 to 6 percent.
That being said, if he says Trump is +2 nationally, you can take that to the bank. I'm almost willing to bet Harris may not even win California because the race will be called before polls close there.
Poor 'Ragin' Cajun' Carvile must be shitting bricks about now.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cut short a visit to the United States on Friday after addressing the UN General Assembly, as Israel carried out another strike against Hezbollah in Beirut.
“Prime Minister Netanyahu decided to return to Israel earlier than planned, and will depart from the United States this evening,” a statement said, while his office confirmed he was originally scheduled to arrive back in Israel on Sunday.

Posted by: Doctor Elric the Blade
DU is...nervously optimistic. They'd say she's slightly ahead overall, but things can change. She should be ahead by 60 points, but America is full of dumb racist and sexist MAGA cultists. They need to get out the vote and fight like they're behind, because Republicans are trying to steal the election with voter suppression and litigation.

I'm feeling a big polling miss...again this year.
People forget but 2020 was a big miss. RCP's curated final average was off by 3.5. That's excluding a bunch of bullshit polls.
But the states are where it's going to be most obvious, and I think it has to do with modeling. How do you model NC when NC took off more than 10% of its voter registration list for various reasons? Especially if that 10% was used for last second ballot box dumps (its what got Cooper his second term as governor, even if it didn't get Biden a victory in the EC).
NC isn't going to be close. It's going to be a blowout. It's going to be close to SC levels. It'll by a 5-7 point win. SC will be a 9 point win.
What other states could that apply to? GA? Most likely. PA? Honestly, possibly.
Those three represent an EC win already.

If the tea leaves on early voting turn out to be read right, their partisans are turning out for early voting in places like VA and NC, but the GOP is getting a better percentage than in 2020 (on lower overall numbers) from far less prone to vote individuals, low-propensity voters.
If these analyses are right, Dem's hardcore partisans are turning out, but not many others.

I suspect Mark Mitchell of Rasmussen is a reader here so I don't mention it to him on Twitter/X where the trolls would attack me and him. I suspect he knows very well what is going on and has a shit-eating grin every time one of the 'credited' ( vs him who the left has 'discredited' ) slowly slink into alignment with his results.
The 'credited' pollsters will play their games as long as they can because they know they'll be judged only by their final result, days before the election. So the slope for Harris is both slippery and downhill from now until election day.

How can you project the ability of Philadelphia to shamelessly go from a historic 80/20 (D) advantage to a 99% (D) result?

Puff Diddler's Lawyer: Don't Even Worry About the 1,000 Bottles of Baby Oil and Lubricant Puff Diddler Bought. That Wasn't For Sex Parties. He Just Buys in Bulk Because That's Where the Savings Are.
This is not Yacht Rock. Not even close.
Sean "Diddy" Combs' lawyer thinks there's a simple explanation for the rapper's massive supply of baby oil: He buys in bulk. Marc Agnifilo spoke about the disgraced hip-hop mogul's arrest and federal prosecutors' claim that Homeland Security found 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lube when they raided Combs' mansions while speaking with TMZ, echoing what he told The Post in an exclusive interview last week. "Back when I was a kid in the late '70s, they were called threesomes," Agnifilo said of the so-called "freak off" sex parties that the US Attorneys allege Diddy, 54, hosted. According to the feds, Diddy would lure and coerce women to engage in sexual performances with male sex workers for him to watch and record -- sometimes without their knowledge. As for why Combs would need 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lube if the rapper was having threesomes and not "freak offs," Agnifilo told TMZ, "I don't know where the number '1,000' came from. I can't imagine it's thousands [of bottles of baby oil and lube], and I'm not really sure what the baby oil has to do with anything."Gossips say that anyone who ever "partied" with Puff Diddler is either going to jail, or going to be called as witness to crimes. And in the latter case, their lives will be demolished, because Puff Diddler will release the videotapes of anyone who testifies against him.
When TMZ's Harvey Levin explained that the baby oil could be used as "a lubricant for an orgy," the rapper's attorney responded, "I guess -- I don't know what you need a thousand [for]. One bottle of baby oil goes a long way. I don't know what you need a thousand for."
Agnifilo added, "[Diddy] has a big house. He buys in bulk. I think they have Costcos in every place where he has a home. I mean, have you sat in a parking lot of a Costco and see what people walk out of there with?" "I don't think it was a thousand. Let's just say it was a lot."
One Department of Homeland Security agent who visited Diddy's $35 million Florida mansion in March -- his California home, which he listed for sale for $61.5 million in September, was also searched -- told a news outlet that the "Mo Money Mo Problems" hitmaker had rooms that were filled with sex toys, bondage gear, lingerie -- and hidden cameras. "You were being recorded from every possible angle, including angles you wouldn't have known about," the agent explained, adding that the women involved were "either barely legal, or barely illegal." The agent branded Diddy "as bad as Jeffrey Epstein," the convicted pedophile financier who died in a New York jail at 66 in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. Diddy's attorney Marc Agnifilo denied the similarity, insisting in court September 17, "these were consenting adults."A 16 year old alleges she was non-consenting.
Not according to the feds. Diddy ensured participation from the women by controlling their careers, tracking their whereabouts and using "intimidation and violence," prosecutors say. He allegedly assaulted women by "striking, punching, dragging, throwing objects at and kicking them" causing injuries that could take days or weeks to heal. He got away with it for more than a decade, prosecutors claim, by relying on his employees, who he sometimes controlled with violence, to ensure witnesses kept their mouths shut. There are also reports of potential blackmail material, with feds confirming Diddy "used the sensitive, embarrassing and incriminating recordings that he made during Freak Offs as collateral to ensure the continued obedience and silence of the victims." Indeed, aside from those who've filed civil lawsuits, few have spoken out. According to rapper, actor and producer 50 Cent, 49, that's because "some of them were involved, at the parties and enjoyed themselves, so they don't know what the f--k is on tape," as he told The Hollywood Reporter in July. Hip-hop radio host Charlamagne Tha God, 46, believes "there will be others involved," warning on The Breakfast Club September 17, "If you've ever been butt naked anywhere with Diddy and there was some women around or men around that he told you were part of the party, you're probably going to jail." Says the source: "There are dozens of people in Hollywood who are terrified of being called to testify. It could spell ruin." Then there are the civil lawsuits. Singer Casandra "Cassie" Ventura, 38, who was in a relationship with Diddy for about a decade until 2018, bravely opened the floodgates last November when she filed a 35-page complaint accusing Diddy of sexual assault, battery and sex trafficking. He's also facing at least seven other suits from people including singer Dawn Richards (who says she witnessed him perform sex acts on passed-out women at his parties, telling guests, "This is what we do, this is how we party"); producer Rodney "Lil Rod" Jones (who alleges he was required to tape sex acts for Diddy); and Liza Garner (who says Diddy forced her to have sex when she was only 16). Diddy has denied all the allegations. Diddy's legal woes have led authorities to revisit other troubling claims. A September 16 news report claims federal investigators have been quietly collaborating with Nevada authorities to revisit the drive-by shooting of Tupac Shakur in 1996. (Duane "Keefe D" Davis, the suspect in the case, previously alleged that Diddy solicited him to kill the star.) While in May, Rolling Stone sparked fresh speculation about the 1997 murder of the Notorious B.I.G. (real name: Christopher Wallace) when it reported Biggie allegedly planned to cut ties with Diddy's Bad Boy Records label shortly before his death. Diddy has denied any involvement in the killings.P. Diddler is threatening that if this prosecution doesn't stop, he's going to take the stand and air out every one else's dirty laundry:
Shadow of EzraLove it. Bring it on. Bring it all out. Fellow rapper Fifty Cent is making a documentary about Puff Diddler. In this NSFW video, Fifty Cent said he knew to be wary of Puff Diddler based on this unusual request: Diddler asked him to "go shopping" with him. Which Fifty Cent says makes him a "fruit pop" and made him wonder, "What did this ***** just ask me?" Like I said, NSFW. Kinda funny though. Puff Diddy's lawyers also said that the one-time crap rapper couldn't be gay, no matter how many guys he had forced to have sex with him, because he had a "No Homo" chip installed in his spine.
@ShadowofEzra Diddy's lawyer has confirmed he's prepared to testify in court, potentially exposing other high-profile figures in an effort to reduce his sentence. "I don't know that I could keep him off the stand. I think he is very eager to tell his story. And I think he will tell every part of his story." Diddy has pleaded not guilty to all three charges and was denied bail.
Below, some vids, including some funny ones.

They're screaming about how racist the Caitlin Clark fans are at every game, yet there's NEVER any video or audio footage, in today's age where everyone records everything with their phone, of ANYTHING of an even CLOSE to racist nature anywhere on the internet from a WNBA game.
I support Clark. The WNBA can go f*ck itself with a King Dong.
They had a chance to get ahead of this and nip it in the bud, but failed miserably. Reap it, dykes.

Different state, but in 2022, Rubio was polling only 5 points ahead of his opponent in FL.
He won by 19.
In LA, the last governor's race was polling neck and neck with both R and D getting about 35% of the vote. The Republican ended up winning with 53% and bypassing their weird second election arrangement.
State polls have a heavy propensity for misses over the past few years. I have no idea how AZ will turn out for Pres and Senator, but there's a very solid chance that it'll be another huge miss.

That's the basic angle I'm rolling with. Kamala is WAY behind where Hillary! was in 2016, and Biden in 2020. Both times, the final results shifted strongly in Trump's favor in the last 30 days. If it happens for a 3rd time, Harris is screwed...but not to a promotion, like normal.

I think it amounts to white noise politically.
There's a small sliver very, very dedicated to keeping the war going forever. They just happen to be in power and in the media and can easily amplify their voices.
Everyone else? It's just the background noise of politics that they don't really pay attention to. Maybe it has some second or third order effects on thinking, but it's more about supporting already held opinions not actually shaping or changing anything.

That was filmed in 1996-1997. If watch the background at Ziegler's Christmas Party (Eyes Wide Shut is a Christmas movie, too), you can glimpse body doubles of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Most people outside of New York City would have no idea who they were in those years, but now, it is really eerie. And they were put there on purpose. One of the researchers for the movie for Kubrick was a writer for the New York Post, and was up on "who's who" in NYC in those days.

Some people have an innate fear of water. It just takes time and confidence building to overcome it. I almost drown once as a kid, and I was very good in the water.

There are confirmed deleted scenes from Eyes Wide Shut that Hollywood refuses to release; that they insisted be cut or they would not release the film.

That was filmed in 1996-1997. If watch the background at Ziegler's Christmas Party (Eyes Wide Shut is a Christmas movie, too), you can glimpse body doubles of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. Most people outside of New York City would have no idea who they were in those years, but now, it is really eerie. And they were put there on purpose. One of the researchers for the movie for Kubrick was a writer for the New York Post, and was up on "who's who" in NYC in those days.

I can't stress enough: Netanyahu ordered a strike in Beirut that will most likely invite massive retaliation bombing from Hezbollah (and already cost the lives of a untold number of Lebanese) - while hiding in New York. He is surely the most cowardly leader Israel ever had.

One thing that irritates me about "Eyes Wide Shut" is that they swapped out the music of the orgy,
supposedly becuz it was a Hindu hymn or some such thing. Which is lame.
One the upside, they replaced the Hindu music with-
"Yakety Sax", so it all worked out anyway.

Actually, not so sure of that - the Danieh neighborhood where the bombing occurred, is Hezbollah's stronghold in Beirut.
Anyone with an IQ above room temperature could figure out that Danieh gets flattened if Hezbollah seriously attacks Tel Aviv, so a lot of people evacuated the neighborhood in advance.

NYT Reports That NY Court of Appeals Is Very Skeptical of "Tish" James' Almost Half-Billion Dollar Penalty Against Trump For No Crime at All
The loans he was applying for were all paid back. No one lost any money. In fact, the banks profited. They made a loan and collected it back, plus interest. "Tish" James claimed that Trump's alleged overestimation of the value of his billion dollar New York properties was a fraudulent deception of... somebody?[N]ow that the appellate court has finally reviewed the case, the judges sound very skeptical about James' case as well as the absurd award in a case that involved literally no losses to anyone connected to Trump's businesses:More at the link. Meanwhile, deranged partisan Jack Smith has presented his own arguments to insane leftwing judge Chutkan in DC, claiming that basically the Supreme Court decision on immunity is moot because none of Trump's actions were taken in his capacity as President and even those that were should still be criminal. This is obviously completely contrary to the Supreme Court's ruling, which recognized a fairly expansive doctrine of immunity. The interesting thing is that Politico is "saying the quiet part out loud" -- they tweeted out this link with the headline, "Jack Smith has one last chance before Election Day to present his best evidence against Donald Trump." They keep claiming "this isn't about politics" but they give themselves away at every turn.The reporting from the New York Times make it sound like James got little sympathy from the judges. It's always dangerous to read too much into the Socratic questioning used by jurists in appellate hearings, but the pull quotes offered by the NYT sound pretty encouraging for Trump. The report describes Judge Peter Moulton as the most supportive of James' presentation, but even Moulton marveled at the size of Judge Arthur Engoron's award for a case without any losses or victims:
A New York appeals court expressed skepticism on Thursday about a civil judgment of more than $450 million that a trial judge had ordered former President Donald J. Trump to pay after finding that he had fraudulently inflated his wealth. At a hearing in Manhattan, members of a five-judge panel questioned both the size of the judgment and the validity of the case, which New York's attorney general brought against the former president and his family business two years ago.... Two other judges expressed skepticism over the award and the case:
Toward the end of the hearing, Justice Moulton asked how the attorney general's office could "tether the amount that was assessed" by Justice Engoron "to the harm that was caused here, where parties left these transactions happy about how things went down?"
Justice Friedman, who appeared the most skeptical of the case, asked Ms. Vale to identify any other case in which the attorney general's office had sued "to upset a private business transaction that was between equally sophisticated partners." Before she could respond, Dianne T. Renwick, the court's presiding justice, who generally seemed supportive of the case, added her own question. "And little to no impact on the public marketplace?" she asked.

The Court of Appeals, sitting in Albany and consisting of seven judges, is the state's highest court. The Appellate Division of the New York State Supreme Court is the principal intermediate appellate court. The New York State Supreme Court is the trial court of general jurisdiction in civil cases statewide and in criminal cases in New York City.
The New York Supreme Court sits at the bottom and the Court of Appeals is the highest.

I think Maryland is similar. Gotta say, I like California's court structure. It's particularly easy in San Francisco County since we only have one civil court building for the entire county. (Though you can do most things online now.) There are 58 county courts ("Superior Court"), 6 appellate districts ("Court of Appeal"*), and one state Supreme Court (in the traditional sense of "supreme").
* Appeal is singular. Court of Appeals, plural, is the federal equivalent. But the name is not entirely accurate since you can also file petitions for various kinds of writs at the CoA, and hey, is SFG law-geeking? Yes he is.

The legal cult of course will never change their bizarre fact-free worship of their love object (like LE with the FBI, DOJ, etc), but will the few adults actually attempt to start restoring some credibility? NY appeals court is doing as I expected (basically "WTF?"), so there is still some positive inertia, in some places.

They weren't suing for damages in the classic sense. It was for unlawful business practices (we have a similar statute here) and he was required to disgorge his ill-gotten gains. Disgorgement/penalties and damages, at least in CA, are not synonymous.

These statutes were all basically dormant -- as they should be -- unless a true fraud was committed that hurt a lot of people. That was until these leftwing scum-drinking AGs woke up that they could target their political enemies with these actions.
Trump is only the most high profile of their targets. These shitstained cocksuckers have gone after oil and gas companies, gun companies, and others they don't like.

(Then) President Trump, having failed to ensure that officers sworn to obey his orders would obey his orders, delayed asking his supporters to leave the Capitol for several minutes after Federal agents (unknown to him) had arranged to have several dozen of them escorted through the building by armed police. Obviously this is an insurrection against Our Precious Democracy!

Getting it released 11 days before election day could be poetic justice.

Recall, this was a verdict--by the judge alone--on summary judgement.
Meaning, he found the evidence of fault was so great that no reasonable person could differ; that there was not a shred of evidence that Trump didn't violate the statute.
And that same judge, he excluded all expert testimony by Trump's lawyers.
Specifically, that Mar a Lago generates well over $50 million a year in revenue.
The appellate judges were highly skeptical of the exclusion as well.
To put it another way:
Let's say a house is worth $250k.
And you're renting it out for $750k a year.
But, if you tried to borrow against it and said it was worth $500k, NY would criminally fine you $1 million for fraud.

That's all well and good, but isn't it almost always irrelevant given the political dynamic of these judicial domains? I mean they can mouth the words of "lawful" and "fair" but it ultimately boils down to which court has which political lean until the Supreme Court FINALLY ends the politics (though not really because it too is political).
Clearly there's no crime and clearly it's political targeting of Trump by political activists disguised as "legal accountability", but heavily-weighted courts/jurisdictions punt the law and carry popular judgements that keep them locally employed.

I think the better answer is that by allegedly deceiving the bank into lending money to Trump, that meant that other potential borrowers were deprived of the ability to get these loans. Put another way, Trump lied his way to the front of the loan line, meaning those behind him couldn't get loans.
Yes, this is a dogshit argument that should never fly. But it does identify both a "harm" and to the "public" that the AG is supposed to be protecting. It's better than the ramble-on the state's attorney gave.

I guess it depends on the origin of said "choke points". If they're dictated by the State directly, it's Marxist-Leninism. If they're dictated by State-run Corporations, it's Fascism. If by independent Corporations operating in concert under a permissive State, Syndicalism. If by independent Corporations operating in competition... Regular old Capitalism?
I don't know. I'm probably way off base. Just making a half-assed attempt at forming some kind of rubric.

Lol. I always just viewed as generally crazy/bitchy, but in a strange coincidence, DU just stumbled across one of her older X posts and freaked out:
Roseanne Barr was video’d by her son in the middle of a sudden flashback, while shopping at Bergdorf’s.
Ms. Barr said that the flashback was a memory of Joe Biden raping her in the store’s shoe department dressing room, in 1998.
(X link with video https://tinyurl.com/mu3ctx9h )
DU had the typical outrage progression, calling her horrible things for accusing Biden of misconduct (and she's fat and ugly, so no one would rape her...literally!), to finally understanding she was mocking E. Jean Carroll, so they had to crank the outrage up to 11.

This was common from the Renaissance straight through to the modern period. People would pay the government for office and then profit off it by forcing people to pay them to be allowed to do whatever business they wanted to do.
Now occasionally someone would get a little too greedy and the king would have to remove his head but for the most part it was just how business was done.

They funnel them up through the Darien Gap into the U.S."

The problem with this line of argument is the loan was paid back and it could be applied to any loan given. If it wasn't paid back, this would be an actual argument - Trump stole funds from the bank that could have gone to others - but suggesting he got the loan means others didn't get one is an "argument in the universal" - ie, applies to everyone.

It's also false in the universal, isn't it?
You can't "lie" to the bank about the value of your house. They know exactly what the value of your house is. Declaring a number is basically a formality, agreeing as two parties on what the value of the thing is as collateral.

They are all the same, even mercantilism and the older crown monopoly system was rentier-ism and they all depend on the state to enforce the status quo, for their own price and control needs as well.
the general classic liberal attitude that monopolies and cartels are broken either by innovation or by cheating by the members does not take into consideration the action of the state stepping in to control it "for the good of the consumer"
the industries either get controlled directly by the state, which is fascism, the market is controlled by the state, which is mercantilism, or the state is captured by the industries, and leverage that power to control the market, which is our rentier capitalism. The costs are socialized and the profits are privatized

but at the same time, that's not really fair to the kid and i feel absolutely awefull even considering suggesting the idea.

Joe Rogan has a former Navy Seal on talking about an October 7th style event in this country:
"They all have one common goal: to come over to the Western world and ruin our way of life. They're funneling as many of these terrorists into the passport office, creating real passports, and then they get them flights all over South & Central America. They funnel them up through the Darien Gap into the U.S."

Ah, it turns out to be not that simple. One page later we got into the stresses that effect sellers and buyers that distort the value of a thing. At the end of the day, most things sold not at a retail level such as art or real estate or whatever is a one-off.
"That" thing was worth that much on that day.
Taken in the aggregate, one could develop a "market" price for those "things" as a whole, but each sale is a one-off.

There was a leftard German couple, iirc one or both politicians, whose daughter was raped and murdered by one or more 'refugees'. They made a public statement to the effect that they didn't want this to discourage acceptance of the 'refugees' and I'm pretty sure also made a donation to some NGO importing 'refugees'.

Darrius "Sweetdick" Honeycum Is Scheduled to Testify About His Affair with Fani Willis and Connections to the Biden Administration Today -- But He's Gone Missing
Apparently he's hiding so that Congressional Republicans can't serve him a subpoena.
House Republicans planned to escalate their investigation into Nathan Wade, a former special prosecutor in Fulton County, Georgia, by subpoenaing him to appear for a deposition this week, but Wade appears to be missing in action. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) had ordered Wade in a subpoena, reviewed by the Washington Examiner, to appear Thursday for the closed-door interview as part of the committee's investigation into Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis's prosecution of former President Donald Trump. However, Wade has been unresponsive to the subpoena, and his silence has led Jordan to take the unusual step of asking the U.S. Marshals Service to try to locate Wade in Georgia to serve him, according to a committee spokesperson. "Nathan Wade's evasion of service is extremely unusual and will require the Committee to spend U.S. tax dollars to locate him," the spokesperson said in a statement. A Republican lawyer familiar with the matter said that the U.S. Marshals Service has not been able to find Wade and that "at this point, we know he's trying to avoid service." The lawyer called Wade's actions "clearly dilatory." Wade's law office did not respond to a request for comment from the Washington Examiner. Wade's apparent avoidance of the subpoena comes after two onetime advisers to former President Donald Trump, Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro, were imprisoned this year, each with four-month sentences, for failing to comply with House-issued subpoenas relating to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot. ... Jordan's attempt to subpoena Wade comes after the Georgia lawyer backed out of appearing voluntarily for a scheduled interview last week at the last minute after initially agreeing to the appearance in July, according to a letter Jordan wrote to Wade.If you see Sweetdick, or his "law partners," Lance Clamhammer or Rex DeQuim, contact the US Marshall's service at once. The "Party of Law and Order," everyone. "The Party of Norms." Hey everybody, let's get it up for The Party of Defending Our Precious Democracy! Come on! Let's hear some cheers! Some accounts are saying that Wade has been found and duly served. But they don't link any news story for this, they just say it themselves. I don't know.
The chairman said Wade's attorney contacted the committee five days before Wade's scheduled appearance to say that Wade had to postpone his appearance indefinitely based on instructions Wade received from Willis's attorney Roy Barnes. "The eleventh-hour intervention from District Attorney Willis does not excuse your failure to appear for your transcribed interview," Jordan wrote.

Yeah, and the usual suspects are clutching their pearls of Israel doing this.
Israel has endured rockets and what not for decades. The gloves have now come off and the state sponsored terrorists are finding out it's not a one way street. Funny thing, though, Israel obviously used the intervening years to develop solid intel on the terrorists and just as obviously, the terrorists became complacent.

My theory is they are holding it somewhat together for now, via giving billions (trillions?) to 15-25 Million illegals. All those new consumers, some of them taking low pay jobs ... gives a decent jolt to the "economy".
50 point rate cut is another jolt, might get another cut before election, to help Harris. Before the 2022 election they raised aggressively (to hurt Trump in the midterms, it would seem).

That does not seem to bother the Israelis if they can find the dude. Iran's pronouncements of death and destruction on the Israelis for decades plus their actions make a preventative attack on any Iranian assets suitable under the just war doctrine.
Iran has no moral claim to the validity of embassies either due to their actions against the US decades ago and their sponsored car bomb attacks on the US Lebanese embassy.

All the cut will do is spur inflation. East Coast ILA Dockworkers strike is the next hurdle in October.
Basically, the illegals do nothing but consume and that is being paid for by deficit spending--not by any productive work. Thus, more money chasing scarce goods means more inflation for housing, energy, food, etc.

Posted by: whig at September 27, 2024 12:55 PM (SI97o)
whig, the illegals are being brought in principally to act as slave labor that is being completely subsidized by the communities and the feral gov. The gov is completely on board for this. During official slavery in the 19th century the whole "institution" was subsidized by force, from support, to policing, to preventing manumission. Today this is expanded to socialize the whole institution for the benefit of specific industries
MAKING THEM INTO ACTUAL SLAVES IS ENCOURAGING THIS PROBLEM NOT SOLVING THE PROBLEM

Exactly. It's NOT the money; it's the obstruction of justice and evasion.
They ALWAYS do this. Focus on the most trivial and ignore the damn elephant in the room.
Same thing for, for example, the border invasion. "Oh, my, look what you're doing to the children and their trafficking!" Yeah, that's bad, but how about every other thing that's getting trafficked. And the encyclopedia of crimes committed. And the cost to the taxpayers for endless subsidies. And the loss of sovereignty. And the national security threat. On and on and on, it's an entire portfolio of godawful. But let's just pick the one Pavlovian answer and make sure it can be spun to appear like political grandstanding.
The US government abandoned "money" limitations decades ago.

THE MORNING RANT: Did Alienating Their Conservative Customers Contribute to Nike’s and Starbucks’ Woes?
NIKE
• Amidst the NFL flag protests, Nike stood proudly by Colin Kaepernick with an ad campaign featuring Kaepernick’s face and the quote, “Believe in something. Even if it means sacrificing everything.“ • Nike canceled its Air Max sneakers with a Betsy Ross flag on it after Kaepernick protested to Nike that anything historically patriotic is racist. This is the flag that Nike deemed racist.
The good news is that a whole bunch of us decided to “believe in something” too, so we stopped spending our money on America-hating companies such as Nike. STARBUCKS This article at The Street details just how repugnant Starbucks’ political activism had become. • To show its support for the riots of 2020, Starbucks pledged $100 million to BLM. • The company bashed the Supreme Court’s abortion ruling, and even offered to reimburse travel expenses to incentivize its employees to terminate their pregnancies. (I gather that paying for an abortion is cheaper than the cost of maternity leave.) • Coffee cups were festooned with rainbows to celebrate LGBTQ. As I’ve said before, when I am at a restaurant, I don’t want any sexual behaviors celebrated, be they straight, gay, or other. • Most pernicious was the company’s commitment to racial discrimination in the name of DEI. Starbucks pledged to discriminate against white employees and job applicants so as to get to 40% “Bipoc” (Black – Indigneous – People of Color) in retail stores and to 30% Bipoc at its corporate offices. (It’s interesting that Starbucks feels that a higher ratio of white employees is needed for corporate “mind jobs” compared to front-line retail workers. There’s nothing racist about that…
The National Center for Public Policy Research, brought a case against Starbucks for its racially motivated discrimination, but the case was dismissed.
Before woke business school graduates started destroying corporate America from within, management understood that it takes numerous new customers to make up for one formerly-loyal customer who becomes disaffected and takes his business elsewhere. No longer. In the executive suites of woke corporations like Starbucks, Nike, and Disney, it is now a sign of virtue for its executives to show how much they detest right-of-center Americans, and we have reciprocated their enmity by no longer purchasing their products.
Those companies could really use some revenue right now from the conservative former customers that they alienated, but actions have consequences – in this case they are well deserved consequences. We’re not coming back to rescue those companies that declared culture war against us. Get woke. Go broke.

Both Nike and Starbucks have been facing strong headwinds for years. Nike in particular has been the victim of changing footwear tastes, increasingly problematic Chinese manufacture and trade/tariffs, and overall consumer fatigue towards the brand. Starbucks hasn't been much better off.
These companies were already looking around scratching their heads going "which way did he go?" So they did what a lot of companies in similar situations (eg, Victoria Secret) did: pull full stick on woke.
Fuck them all. Just fuck. Them. All.

Christians, whites in particular, are deemed racist xenophobes, and not accepting open nudity and sexual perversions, even pedophilia, means "we" are haters, not accepting them "coming for our kids".

Aptitude tests, internal training and such lead to promotion.
New corporate model said they can safely skip all that and hire these bright, shiny faces fresh from college.
Because, no coincidence, the college-educated crowd at the SCOTUS said all that old stuff that worked was racist.
The new, untested way, it worked for a while as there was still a lot of residual institutional momentum.
However, hiring people who don't know the company leads to people not doing what is best for the company.
And especially hiring people who's formative culture is schooling lead only to them duplicating what they know.
If you keep hiring dogs, don't complain when you're infested with fleas.

I drink a lot of coffee, so I've always made it at home. But I'd also get coffee if I was out doing something, usually when looking at books at B&N, because it always had a Starbucks colocated. Then my countryman decided to lock me in my own home for more than a year. That broke damn near all my preexisting consumer habits. So I wonder if in addition to the crap economy, nationwide false imprisonment hasn't permanently hurt their business.

But a good Chinaman! The mainland Chinese don't care about lines. Sure, they sorta form them, but then they push and shove and elbow their way to the front. Biggest and strongest wins. Fine by me. I was a foot taller than 99% of the Chinese there. I won.

Nike shoes hurt my feet. I can't wear them, so I don't buy them. The most comfortable sneakers I've found to wear come from New Balance. Are they woke? I have no idea. Maybe, maybe not. I'll cross that bridge etc. etc.
As for Starbucks, I don't drink coffee so they were never appealing to me to being with. The Wifey drinks coffee and used to be a Starbucks fiend, hitting the drive-thru several times a day. It got pricey at $8 each, so she started making coffee at home with a coffee maker that grinds whole beans, and then adding her own flavored syrups or creamers. Very quickly she realized just how bitter-tasting Starbucks coffee is, and has since moved on to local mom and pop coffee shops that are much better in quality and even lower in price.

Being herded like cattle is underrated. Seriously. From grocery stores to construction zones, it seems to me that more and more the people who create lines are doing so haphazardly at best.
I don’t like lines, and try to avoid situations that require them. But when you do make a line, tell me where I need to be.

To be fair, a lot of that is that Disney decided to make their parks unaffordable for a middle-class family with kids on vacation, and chose instead to focus on adult Disney-obsessed weirdos.

Here's why/how these progs and 'libruls' think:
I call it the tyranny of certainty
They are certain they are correct on all things. The Left can't understand opposing views. It can't even accept that there might be opposing views. This is why the Left sticks with bad ideas long after those ideas are shown to be bad.
Some compnies pull back from DEI. Caterpillar I think is a recent example. But the truly hard-headed will plow ahead.

That's part of the problem though, continuing to see this as a left/right, conservative/liberal thing is overlooking the massively powerful elite class, the mix of politicians, academics, business class, investors, corporate media, etc. are fascists, and don't fit into the old paradigm.
Which is why you have people like RFK Jr. and Nicole Shanahan wanting to connect with Team Trump, and form a new coalition to fight the real enemy here.

My flight to the Cairo airport was delayed, risking missing my connecting flight to New York, and I was confronted with a huge crowd at the check-in counters when I got to Cairo.
I paid an Egyptian $20, and told him "get me to the front of this line".
He did.

My youtube commentators are saying that when army recruiting ditches Emma-with-two-moms for a typical recruit (white hetero midwest or southern) then they are expecting another war. A bit conspiracy-minded but maybe correct.
When I was in, 2010s, every Sgt Maj from brigade to division was black. Now the army is saying it won't have quotas for NCO promotion.

My second pair of running shoes, way back in the '70s, were Nike racers. After the lead-heavy leather Converse shoes I'd worn for the last year, they felt like feathers. They lasted quite a while. But there are plenty of solid competitors to Nike out there now.

That didn’t take long. It’s the very first thought I have every time I see the Starbuck’s name. I like a strong dark roast and don’t mind a bitter finish. But, Starbucks tastes like someone got stoned and left the beans in the roaster too long. I don’t understand the appeal.

Those who question his willingness to cozy up to the money people are coming at it from a different angle, and I think mostly don't have much to say about that at this point, other than to question whether there's sincerity to his free speech stance.

Driving around the rest of France was fine, but Paris at rush hour was a whole different deal.
No rules of the road, just who was the most aggressive driver won. Like 40 near wrecks in 30 minutes kind of thing.
Once I figured out that I needed to be the most aggressive SOB driving in Paris, it was okay. Plenty of near wrecks but they backed off centimeters short of an actual crash, instead of me.

Costco dark roast. ~$40 for 120. I have 4 per day which comes out to $1.33 of fresh coffee when I want it.
I've had everything from submarine engine-room coffee complete with lube oil slick to Jamaican Blue Mountain. K-cup is fine.

I don't get the Starbucks coffee is burnt thing. Their coffee is fine.
If you don't like dark roast, don't drink dark roast. As a general proposition, I like dark roast.
The problem with Starbucks is that they're too expensive. McD sux. Dunkin Donuts is okay.
Homemade in a thermally insulated mug is the best.

Same in Russia. When the plane lands, still moving fast and not taxiing, they unstrap and run to the door. The first time it happened, I thought they were just pushy. Then I saw the customs area after we deplaned. Holy crap, I longed for the DMV after seeing that line.

Same in India. I took my mom there. Some Indian dude practically runs her over getting off the plane. She yells at him, calling him a "motherfucker," etc. He glares at her. She glares back and says "what? what?" Then he looks away. "I thought so," she says. I was ready to jump in to defend my mom, but I realized I didn't need to. She got this.

The mysterious incident that TWZ previously reported that occurred at China’s Wuchang Shipyard in the spring of this year resulted in the sinking of the country’s latest nuclear-powered attack submarine, according to U.S. officials. The boat in question, originally identified as a conventionally powered submarine, was the first of the new Type 041 Zhou class SSNs.
Citing unnamed U.S. officials, a report in The Wall Street Journal today describes an attempt by the Chinese authorities to cover up the accident, involving a submarine “likely” carrying nuclear fuel when it sank. The boat had been undergoing its final fitting out before going to sea.

Beyond the Alphabet Smut stuff, I seem to recall Starbucks was also anti-military. Strong-anti, as in not supporting the troops and veterans. Similar to Target, who love to donate, but won't for veterans.
At the same time, Michelle Malkin was raising awareness for Dunkin' Donuts. They were more pro-veteran, and they were an alternative to Starbucks for your daily cup of joe.
As far as Nike - they were synonymous with black culture in the 90's. And they were expensive, especially for a group that leaned towards the poorer side. I don't know how good the shoes actually were, but they defined the term "Sweat Shop" before Foxconn and Apple took over. Maybe it would be good if Nike went under; how much harm have they done, money taken from groups that could have used the money for food and education rather than as a status symbol? Maybe Kamala Harris can pull reparations from Nike first as a trial before trying to wreck the real economy.

Wrong.
The beans are roasted and distributed to each franchise.
Coffee sitting in the pots coats the sides of the pots with tannin.
Tannin imparts a bitter taste to the coffee.
The problem is that the pots aren't cleaned with vinegar to remove the tannin shellaced onto the sides when the coffee sits in the pots.

Actually, you get the same burnt flavor if you buy their bagged coffee and brew it yourself. Starbuck's roasts at a higher temperature. It scorches the coffee and produces a burnt taste. What's more, they do it on purpose to give their coffee a unique flavor profile.

Stopped at a local coffee chain here, Kuppa Joy, on the way in to the shop (I didn't feel like grinding my awesome King Harv beans for coffee this morning). The place was packed with people, at 9am. Staff is cheerful young students with not a single face piercing. An unabashedly proud Christian coffee shop. I'm not big on companies bringing their religion into the workplace, but KJ strikes a good balance between their values and avoiding the temptation to be preachy. I have no problem spending money there, even though I'm not particularly religious.
On the other hand, Starfucks is always half-empty with sullen, morbidly obese, pierced baristas wearing nuclear-colored hair and pseudo-prison tats who get pissy if you order a large coffee instead of a "grande".

1567-68
Oil on canvas, 125 x 95 cm
Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna
In the final period, which saw Titian focussing his attention on religious themes, he still found the energy to paint portraits. Between 1567 and 1568 he produced two of his greatest masterpieces in this field: the Prado Self-Portrait and the Portrait of Jacopo Strada in Vienna.
The portrait of the well-known antiquarian Jacopo Strada, one of the most famous of Titian's late portraits, represents Jacopo Strada, an expert of antiquities as presenting a small Venus statue. On the table there are some objects, among them a letter addressed to Titian. The decorative frame with the inscription is a later addition from the workshop of Titian.
The painting is of the very highest quality. It is painted in energetic dabs of brown and ochre yellow, offset by the black velvet jerkin with a silver fox fur flung around the shoulders. The careful depiction of the details which allude to the profession of the sitter (the statuette, the coins, the cartouche and the books) do not distract from the characterization of Strada, who is looking enquiringly at someone outside the painting.

Jacopo Strada
Jacopo Strada (1515–158
was an architect, goldsmith, sought after art expert and above all an internationally active antique dealer. The heavy gold chain distinguishes him as a member of court, the sword and the fur sliding from his right shoulder are evidence of his solid wealth. Strada’s posture is unique in Titian’s portraiture: the counter-movement of arms and head lend him dynamism and distance the observer. Whether Titian meant here subtly to criticise Strada’s occasionally aggressive business dealings remains a matter of debate.

Well, he's looking in the wrong place. It's behind him on the wall in the upper left. Titian was just writing on other people's walls like a rampaging 2-year-old with a Sharpie. Kinda rude.

The inscription upper right reads JACOBVUS DE STRADA CIVIS ROMANVS CAESS. ANTIQVARIVS ET COM. BELIC. AN: AETAT: LI: et C.M.D.L. XVI (Jacopo de Strada, citizen of Rome, imperial Antiquary and Minister, aged 51 in the year 1566). The painting is signed top left: "TITIANVS F (ECIT)". The letter on the table additionally contains the words Titian Vecellio Venezia.

It had to be. Powerful men in a violent era are *not* going to be gentle. Even powerful men in peaceful eras are not gentle, they just tend farm out the violence to subordinates.
But in art, that rarely comes across. They just wind up looking like poofters to my modern eyes. I know that in reality, almost none of them would hesitate to put a sword between my ribs. They just don't look it when on canvas.

I think that date comes out as "1466." To check, I found a Roman numeral converter, and it gives the same answer. ((100 from 1000) + 500 +50 + 16) = 1466.

You nailed it there. It was *notation.* Nothing more. You don't use Roman numerals for arithmetic. You can't, and neither could the Romans. The numerals were for writing down the answer, not arriving at the answer.
They used calculators for arithmetic (the abacus).

What a monumental PITA that would be. If it were common, they would have used a different numeral system. Someone would have done something different within engineering circles, and that would have leaked out.
I subscribe to the argument that the Romans didn't use their numerals for intermediate math, and it was a downstream consequence of mechanized arithmetic. The argument that without a powerful underlying tool (the abacus), there is no way the numeral system is viable.
But I wasn't there. Maybe they did some witchcraft to make it work. Chinese Arithmetic is a thing, too, even though I can't grok it.

Considering all the things the Romans built I imagine they figured out how to use their numerals in math.

I am hard to fit when it comes to shoes. My feet are not an unusual size, but they are at the outer edges of normality in terms of structure. Finding comfortable shoes is a chore. I have had extremely good luck with New Balance, and have run into this exact problem: the product lines expire and then you're back at square one.
Go to a NB store if there's one near you. In my experience, they work hard and *will* fit you. It just sucks to have to keep doing it. And it sucks that NB doesn't do boots anymore. Also, don't be afraid of - or even ask explicitly about - insoles. In my case, I have stopped being hard to fit thanks to some of their very good specialty insoles. I bought several pairs - at great expense - and they make probably 70% of shoes fit me well. I can buy shoes anywhere now, so long as I have the extra equipment. All feet are different, of course.

Usually a sob story about how a woman was in constant pain just standing up (usually a dance instructor) and one visit to the Good Feet Store relieved all her pain, helped her win the lottery, and achieved her first orgasm in decades.

AN: AETAT: LI: et C.
Year: Aged: 51 and ??C.??
Just found this:
aetatis
Phrase Meaning:
of age / aged
Comment
Often abbreviated to "aetat.", or more frequently further to "aet."; meaning "of age _ [years]" or "aged _ [years]". E. g., "aetatis 36" denotes being "36 years old"

And she was something of a cutie in her young days. Recently I watched the 1965 film The VIPs, with Maggie and Rod Taylor. They had quite the chemistry on screen.
Yeah, I know, the *stars* of the film were Burton and Liz Taylor, but I found them much duller than Maggie and Rod.

He says hello and recognizes the voice on the other end of the phone as his own nephew (no relation to the father in law). Nephew had received one of those nonsense spam texts with a spoofed number and because he's a kid decided to call it back. Just happened to be that his uncle (my friend) answered.
Neither of these people had each other's number nor would they have any reason to, and the father in law's phone did not have the offending text as an outgoing text.

You're forgetting her best film, The Pride of Miss Jean Brody.
In the first draft of the script, "11" was cited as her favorite prime.
Over time, and several rewrites, "79" became her most beloved number, and that is what appeared in the final film.

The Morning Report — 9/27/24
There are a few things happening here as well as internationally that while alarming and disturbing in and of themselves perhaps are indicators that may not guarantee a Trump victory in November seem to think that there is a palpable perception/fear amongst our enemies foreign and domestic that that might be what they are seeing in the cards. As Putin threatens to use nukes should borscht-belt wannabe, from the actual borscht belt Zelenskyy use US and western missiles on Russia, we have a new rocket man in the east who made something of a splash, in the Pacific causing much wetting of pants by our allies in the region:
Australia and New Zealand are looking for an explanation from China on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly (UNGA) for its unusual test-launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) into the Pacific Ocean on Wednesday. The two island nations said they would consult with other members of the Pacific Islands forum (PIF) before the UNGA wraps up on Friday. . . China launched an ICBM into the Pacific for the first time since 1980, in an unusually public demonstration of military power. Chinese officials blandly insisted the test-launch was a "routine arrangement in our annual training plan," even though it was clearly nothing of the kind. Beijing has been coy about the missile hardware it tested and its intended flight path, but the Associated Press (AP) on Thursday spotted a map published in a Chinese newspaper that showed the missile flying in a straight line from China's Hainan Island to "the center of a ring formed by Solomon Islands, Nauru, Tuvalu, Kiribati, Western Samoa, Fiji, and Vanuatu."Xi and his nation of tyrannical communists are itching to grab Taiwan, while we are otherwise engaged for the next few months. mostly because it is painfully obvious that no one is in charge in D.C. and those making the decisions have a hate on for this nation as much as the communists. Mostly because that is who and what they are to begin with. Plus there is ample evidence that so many in our political class are in Xi's pocket to the tune of billions. Yay, bipartisanship! A couple of items just are utterly radiant in their level of chutzpocrisy. Which for those unaware is my mash-up of the words Chutzpah and hypocrisy. They go together (like rama-lama-lama) As long as we're in the vicinity of the open sewer that is Turtle Bay, take a whiff of this emission:
The head of Haiti’s “Transitional Presidential Council” Edgard Leblanc Fils demanded “historical reparations” for his country at the United Nations General Assembly on Thursday, asserting that the international community has an “essential role” in Haiti’s recovery. The Transitional Presidential Council, which Leblanc presides over, was formed at the end of April following a prolonged period of political negotiations to serve as the nation’s working government after months of gang violence left the country on the brink of total collapse. Haiti has not had a president since the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse in July 2021. . . . . . In his speech to the U.N., Leblanc extended a salute to all Haitian migrants around the world, assuring them that, wherever they are, the council he leads is “thinking of them until the conditions are right for them to return to the fold.” Speaking on behalf of the Haitian people, Leblanc also extended “fraternal greetings to all the friends of Haiti” that have shown solidarity with its migrants, making special mention of Springfield, Ohio. “The long history of friendship and mutual solidarity between our two nations, since our participation in the Battle of Savannah in 1779, allows us to say with confidence that the American people reject any incitement to hatred against our community,” Leblanc said. “The active participation of Haitian immigrants at various levels of American life is tangible and significant.”Reparations? Maybe you should be hitting up the Clinton Global Initiative and Underage Sex Trafficking company, LLC! Maybe if you backward savages didn't spend the last couple of hundred years grifting and abusing your own citizens, your nation would more resemble your neighbor to the east, the Dominican Republic, by comparison a civilized, peaceful, and stable society. Instead, you insist on modeling yourselves after one of world's worst failed states imaginable – CALIFORNIA!
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) signed a series of “reparations” bills on Thursday, including a formal apology for slavery, even though the state entered the Union as a free state in 1850. . . Newsom signed several other bills passed by the state legislature and pushed by reparations activists. As Breitbart News noted, however, the bills did not include actual cash payments or a reparations fund, provoking protests.So, empty promises. Typical lefties. . . The movement for reparations gained traction during the chaotic summer of 2020, when protests and riots spread across the country in the wake of the murder of George Floyd by police in Democrat-run Minneapolis, Minnesota. Minnesota. Where Tampon Timmy Walz was governor. God-forbid he and Kalorama Harris are installed in November, we have a whole lot of Racial HEELING ahead of us:
Walz Education Appointee Calls for the Overthrow of the U.S. Brian Lozenski, an associate professor of urban and multicultural education at Macalester College in Saint Paul, Minn., was appointed by Governor Tim Walz’s state education department to help write the statewide “implementation framework” (similar to a curriculum) for Minnesota’s new “ethnic studies” standards. It now emerges that Lozenski has called for the “overthrow” of the United States. Lozenski is no outlier. On the contrary, he has been the leading voice advocating the addition of a radical version of “ethnic studies” to Minnesota’s social-studies standards (citizenship and government, economics, geography, history, and now ethnic studies). Lozenski is also the key organizer and thought leader for the radical leftist advocacy groups that Governor Walz has effectively put in charge of rewriting Minnesota’s social-studies standards.You can make the case that America as founded has already been "overthrown" politically and in many aspects societally/culturally, by scanning the links and more and more, by just looking at your own lives and that of your loved ones as lived lo these past few decades. What this Lozinski cancer is itching for, is reparations in the form of gulags and mass graves. It all boils down to that. And they'll dress it up as self defense to preserve and protect our precious democracy. On that note, I give you the beast that ate Port Au Prince:
Failed 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton doubled down this week on calling half of former President Donald Trump’s supporters a “basket of deplorables.” Clinton reflected on the infamous and divisive comment she made during a fundraiser in 2016 in a Washington Post op-ed published on Wednesday, adapted from her new book Something Lost, Something Gained: Reflections on Life, Love, and Liberty. In the article, the former secretary of state recalled a meeting she had with a former white supremacist who now works to deprogram people leaving hate groups as an entry to discuss her “deplorables” comment, and said the term is “too kind a word” for some of Trump’s most fervent followers. . . . . . Now some of those folks, they are irredeemable, but thankfully they are not America. However, Clinton has since called for “formal deprogramming” of MAGA “cult members” — a tone she similarly struck in her Washington Post column by discussing her “deplorables” comment alongside her meeting with a former white supremacist who now “works to deprogram and rehabilitate people leaving hate groups”:Now you can understand how Trump gets shot at twice, and how transexuals can shoot up Christian schools and how pregnancy crisis centers can be firebombed. When one is dealing with what is called evil, then there is no measure short of eradicating that evil that can be acceptable. That is their mindset and self-justification for everything they do. And while some believe this toxic garbage, Clinton and her ilk are only interested in preserving their power and influence, yes ideologically but in terms of raw greed as well.
Donald Trump’s immigration plans and rhetoric are similar to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler’s, according to a recent Salon piece warning that Trump “plans to turn America into a type of Fourth Reich,” targeting immigrants and minorities with “white supremacy” and “racism.”The projection in this projectile vomiting is just off the charts. As commenter MP4 once quipped, and I'lll paraphrase, if we as conservatives were a fraction of the Nazis you claim we are, you all would've been smoke up a chimney years ago. When you consider Hillary, Walz, Kamala, Ibram X. Krement's critical race theory (aka Jive Kampf), and what successive generations of American children have been and cotninue to be brainwashed with,
perhaps this book is telling us where we are headed as it takes a look at where those who had a front row seat to the same craziness and where it led. Have a good weekend.

The divide extends beyond mere opinions. When asked about friendships across political lines, Republican-leaning children showed more openness to visiting households that support Democratic views.

I wouldn't be too sure of that. Watched one of those treehouse builder shows a couple of years ago and saw a pair of Amish carpenters assisting the show's host. They were using power tools.
I thought, wut? Well, turns out the Amish carpenters told the host they could use modern things, they just couldn't own them. So, I'd say they get someone to actually buy and own the account, but use the modern conveniences just as much as anyone else.

Roof replacement is ongoing. It is, unfortunately, not a neat process. There's a nimbus of scraped-off shingles surrounding the house. Mixed in with them are innumerable small screws and nails. We'll have to go around with a magnetic broom in an effort to pick them all up.
Lots of hammering and noise. Diana became upset and had to be taken down to the kennel to get away from it. Fitz and Dot were put in the same pen in the breakfast area for mutual security. We have to carry Fitz out to an exercise pen far away from the house so he can do his business.
Hoping it all gets finished today.

I confess that I am not a student of the domestic agenda of the Nazis, were they really all about securing their own border and removing non-citizens who had entered the country without permission and were taxing both infrastructure and budgets? Funny how none of the WW2 movies ever stressed the Nazi INS.

They have a funny, ya gotta leave the "ON" switch on, and the fuel vent closed, to keep the fuel primed into the system/hoses/fuel bowl. There is no primer bulb pump as some small engines had.
It sips the fuel, runs a 5000 btu A/C unit in a small camping trailer, cold enough to hang meat on a hot day. It will also run a space heater (although other forms of heat are less expensive and quieter). Charge batteries, run pumps, computers, refrigerators, microwave ovens, various doo-dads and hair clippers etc. Coffee pots.
I was making popcorn in an old West Bend (with the melted butter contraption on top with lid, that everybody only used once) near Monument Valley. A nice Navajo lady with her elderly mom stopped and wanted to sell us some Turquoise stuff. I didn't buy anything but they liked and were impressed with my Iowa popcorn, and I figured them Injuns know Corn! Very nice people.

No doubt so they'd claim but the truth is that they don't want peace. In "fairness", they don't want Israel to be wiped out either. They want the issue to remain unresolved, just like abortion, or Ukraine, or immigration, or race relations, or...
It's rather like the saying that every time a doctor cures a patient they lose a customer, every time an issue is resolved some segment of government drones loses their nominal reason for sucking at the tax teat.

Hitler removed the citizenship granted to "Rhineland bastards"; the illegitimate offspring of Congolese troops the French used to occupy the Rhineland until 1936
Hitler's first foreign policy success came in negotiating a border adjustment in South Tyrol with Mussolini.
The Kristallnacht episode began when the Nazis expelled 12,000 formerly Polish Jews across the border to a Poland that refused to admit them.

Reminds me of Justice Janine making the case regarding George Floyd back then. She called it the case for "Murder One", but the facts that she laid out made it pretty clear to me that it wasn't murder at all. Maybe that was her way of getting the truth out there, while appeasing her corporate masters.
There was a point, for example, where Floyd was sitting in the police car, and claimed to be having trouble breathing. It turns out that that's a symptom of the kind of drug overdose he was having. Totally corrupt, how they convicted the cop, when Floyd had enough drugs in his system to kill 2 people.

How's that season with 33 named storms, predicted by noted "hockey stick" fraudster Michael Mann, working out?
ANSWER: 2/3 of the way though the season, there have been 9 named storms, including 6 hurricanes, 2 of which were major. Compare that to 14.4, 7.2, and 3.2 and we're having a pretty average season. "Climate scientists" predicted "extremely active hurricane season". Due to "Global Warming", no doubt.

Power has been out for a few hours. Weather is completely calm and was when the power went out, so not sure why.
I noticed one oak tree in my back pasture is down, but it was a tree that was leaning really bad and splitting down the middle that I was going to have removed soon anyway because I knew it was in danger of falling.
Besides that, it never really got bad here. Not sure there was ever a gust more than 30/40mph or so.
It did rain a ton, but that’s it. There was never any thunder, lightning, or anything that even felt like a storm. It just poured all day.
I’m exhausted from all the days of prep and no sleep but thankful it never really materializes here.

So many folks toss the kitchen sink at this and don't fair better, so why not try the protocol of a 20 person MD Anderson trial, who at least were pretty close to my type, that let them have a lot more quality of life...if I'm gonna gamble, I want the odds...and my other treatment option, which might do better short term, had wildly worse long term overall health prospects...and being more than 20+ years from full SS, seems ill-advised...

From my own personal experience, I was lucky enough to be near one of the top facilities for brain cancer and had a brilliant surgeon and great oncologists. I went with the standard treatment and so far so good. Given the particulars of my case, they are optimistic for me beating the odds vis a vis quality of life and length of life.
Also, insurance covers only those things plus I did not and do not want to be a lab rat for the pharma industry. At the end of the day, you have to do what's right for you, with the means and info at your disposal to make the appropriate choices.
Prayers for your complete and speedy recovery. Best of luck!

1. The world isn't on fire. Generally leftwing governments are in power almost everywhere in the west and that means everything is great.
2. In any case where things aren't great, it's the result of some nefarious actor, ala Trump, who acts to fool the ignorant people who aren't "like me".
3. Questioning either point 1 or 2 is -ist and will get you canceled.

I doubt that’d be an effective approach anyway…. To avoid large scale violence (which no one wants) better to overwhelm and humiliate the radicals politically and culturally.

Helene is here, sort of. Been windy and rainy since early this morning. About 1.6 inches of rain have fallen since midnight, so not a huge deal, but the wind has been steady, gusting into the 20MPH + and blowing some stuff around.

Pizza Hut was a distant second in the 1970s. The difference was, they delivered. Shakey's did not. The Pizza Hut pie was distinctive, and whatever it was, they changed suppliers and ingredients and whatever to where it is pretty much unrecognizable to the Pizza Hut "brand". The crust especially is completely different.
Now what's weird, Dominos in those days was a distant 3rd in the delivery. This was what you ordered when you was too poor for that upscale high-falutin' Pizza Hut. And it was ... well ... sort of like Pizza.
Today? I think a Dominos might be a better pie than Pizza Hut. Sad.

Right. Construction - such as it was - in such areas was either extremely robust or essentially disposable. Now, not so much. Construction in such areas is fairly normal and extremely dense, with the magic of "insurance" to offset how dumb that is.
Look at old pictures of houses and the like in those places. Stilts are common. Often, they're just shacks. If it blows down, slap up another one.
But that isn't how it goes anymore. That land is nice and pretty most of the time, and prices demand more quality. The density is much higher, with an expectation of permanence that isn't really sensible.

Unlikely. She'll be on television. She has the perfect background for politics, majoring in political science/economics at Boston University, interning for Ted Kennedy, responsible positions in start-ups serving the community...
Maybe Speaker in 20 years. She's certainly not going to overstep Hakeem Jeffries. She's been making some good moves lately but, for goodness sake, let her gain experience.
AOC is becoming a skilled DC politician with experience. Backlash against AOC is because of agendas she threatens.
She'd make a helluva senator tho! US senators are the most milquetoast, establishment, intransigent MFers you'll never meet. That particular bicameral chamber could really use a good shaking by the scruff of the neck. BAD PUPPY!
I see her as very ambitious, and distancing herself from the squad to gain establishment acceptance. Compare her to someone like Rashida Tlaib. I could also see run for mayor of NYC because she's always commenting on NYC politics.

There's nothing worse than an old politician, like an old QB, not knowing when to leave the game.
This is about her "legacy " - chiefly Chelsea - having a future in politics. If Chelsea isn't on the radar now with Bill and Hillary to pull strings, she's never going to run even a lemonade stand.

Galveston was becoming a regional financial center -- the Wall Street of the South -- but it was built on a barrier island. After the flood many picked up and moved inland to a cow town with big ambitions -- Houston

Limestone, I think.
Some guy moved to Florida and was displeased with the bagels. He wanted to try his hand at it and opened a bagel shop. Couldn't get it "right" like in NY. He even trucked water down and it didn't work, because the water went stale. He ended up building a small water treatment system to inject minerals into purified water to make his Florida water match NY water based on chemical analysis. He was finally happy with his bagels.
Was it worth it? Did it actually work? Who knows.

Eh, like almost any cookery, it takes a bit of experimentation to get it right.
Dough and sauce, but, of course.
But, fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-, even with dang cheese there's a shocking amount of variation and taste and quality within the same category.
Then don't even get me started on the meats. Again, lots of variation.
Then you've got to learn just how much stuff you can actually pile on top, so you don't wind up with a wet mess.
But, you may luck out a find a good recipe straight off.

Apostate.
Even Italians don’t necessarily agree on the best pizza places. But that said, every person I know agrees NY has the best pizza. The online clowns have muddied the waters and overwhelmed what used to be some of the best places. Plus they’ve added people to the list who don’t belong there. Because they wouldn’t know pizza if it walked up and spoke to them. My favorite pizza place is in Brooklyn. Owned by the same family forever. Same recipe and ingredients. Consistently good.

Caputo or "OO" flour, is italian high protein flour ground very fine. Use good flour and make a good crust, and you will find Love! Garlic, parm, maybe olive oil, cheese, basil, pepperoni, onion.

What a boiling pot of pure hatred this DU kiddo is.

Not even the most devout Bible-thumper (that they hate so much) lives their life in that kind of constant agitation that there are some folks somewhere who don't believe in their god.
But, there they are, preaching that their god is angry because all the people do not believe and has thus punished the lands with a storm.

If you go to Galveston, most of those old houses you see have basements.
Not because they were built that way. (No one builds basements in TX)
After that hurricane, they brought in 10 feet of dirt to raise the whole city.
The first floor became the basement and the 2nd floor is now the first floor.
That's how devastating the storm was and how dedicated they were to it not happening again.

Top Story
- The Chief Technology Officer, Chief Research Officer, and VP of Research have all left OpenAI this week as Doc Sam "Snake Oil" Altman tightens his grip on the company. (Ars Technica)
The core issue is the change of OpenAI's status from a public benefit company to slush fund for the select few to loot. Altman himself is looking at a $10 billion payday at current valuation.
This is likely a disaster for the company and its shareholders.
- As for the researchers fleeing the oncoming catastrophe they are likely to do just fine.
Google is paying $2.7 billion to rehire an early employee who built an AI chatbot years before ChatGPT. (MSN)
Specifically, he left Google and founded his own company, and Google has paid $2.7 billion to license that company's technology with the proviso that he return to work at Google.
The amounts of money being flushed down the drain on this are insane.
Tech News
- Wordpress has declared war on Wordpress hosting company WP Engine. (Tech Crunch)
Wordpress itself is open source and anyone can download it and use it, or offer it as a commercial service to their customers.
Apparently the entire fuss is over the use of the letters W and P. Wordpress chief Matt Mullenweg is accusing WP Engine of everything short of serial genocide over those two letters.
- HP is adding AI to its printers. (Ars Technica)
We're already not buying your printers, guys. You can stop making them worse.
- Speaking of HP the HP EliteBook X G1a actually looks good. (Notebook Check)
It has a Ryzen AI 9 HX Pro 375 CPU, a 2880x1800 14" OLED display, and almost the four essential keys (Home shares a key with F12).
No pricing yet.
- Why Volvo changed its "EV or bust" strategy. (The Verge)
Because the customers said "okay, bust it is".
- There's a five alarm fire vulnerability in every version of Linux unless there isn't. (HackRead)

*Seventh*? How many taps with the clue bat do you need to realize this is probably not a good place to live??? If I moved to Wyoming near a bison herd, and I had my house stampeded by them seven times in ten years, I think I'd realize Somebody Was Trying to Tell Me Something.

OK HP, you don't seem to grasp it so let me help you. Here's what we want in a printer:
1. Affordability. Generally speaking, you have that covered.
2. The ability to use ink from any company and not have our printer stop working because we aren't using your brand.
3. The ability to print in black and white even when we run out of one of the other colors.
The fact you cannot grasp this leads me to believe that your sales team is basically bots that don't quite understand people.

Sometimes I've Believed As Many As Six Impossible Things Before The ONT
Hello everyone! Anybody feel like a little light reading?
A Smart Military Blog
Everything you need to know about US Navy submarinesEver since the Turtle was used to try to breach the British blockade during the Revolutionary War, the U.S. Navy has continued to pursue submarine technology and its advancement. Submarines are a vital part of America’s defense, along with many other allied nations. The U.S. officially entered the underwater world of warfare after purchasing the USS Holland (SS-1) in 1900. It was commissioned on Oct. 12, 1900. John Holland designed the USS Holland, which was used for experimental purposes during its 10-year career. When World War I kicked off, the threat of submarines existed, but it was not prevalent due to the early stages of developing submarine manufacturing and technology. At the time, the Navy had 11 different classes of submarines that used a combination of diesel-electric propulsion systems. The diesel-electric submarines were a step up from the previous steam-powered submarines, though the British Royal Navy’s K-class submarines used in WWI were steam-powered. Submarines played a minor part in WWI’s overall warfare.Interesting that they skipped Hunley. I get that it was a CSA boat, but it might at least get a mention. Anyhow, learn all about bubbleheads at the link. Secular Religion
In the battle for America’s soul, every issue is theological
Whether we’re dealing with shamans, witch doctors, or neurosurgeons, no other ethic on this planet will ultimately treat you as anything more than a number. Each according to his abilities, each according to his needs — you’re reduced to a formula or a slogan. But you are certainly not seen as a child of God, and that will not be tolerated.
We’ve lied to ourselves for far too long about our role in this con as Americans. The truth is simple, even if it isn’t easy: Every issue is a theological issue. Every choice humans make is an expression of worship. All of it.
“Secular” doesn’t exist. The people who sold secularism to you are now openly proving that the lie was the point all along. They are demonically intent on replacing the old-time religion with a new one. And as they looked from man to pig and pig to man and back again, they couldn’t tell the difference. This is how it always ends. Something will always rule, and something will always be worshiped. There is no way around those two iron laws of creation. So will it be the lie of accommodation, the lie of neutrality, the lie of co-existence? Or will it be the truth?
If you need to get comfortable with something, why not try the truth for once?
IME, most people who call themselves athiest simply have something else that fills the role of religion in their life. It may be ego, it may be technology it may be authority, but their relationship with whatever it is is no different that a Christian's elationship with God. Sabotage
Biden Is Totally Trying to Sabotage the Harris-Walz Campaign
Remember when Biden announced — by tweet on a Sunday afternoon! — that he was completely voluntarily and freely of his own strong will dropping out of the race? And how a couple of hours later he finally remembered to announce that, oh yeah, he's also endorsing Harris?Nothing I've ever seen from Biden tells me that he has any loyalty to anyone but himself.
If that sequence of events, from the Obama-Pelosi cabal forcing him out to his slow-rolled endorsement, didn't leave a bitter taste in Biden's mouth, it's only because he can no longer remember the flavor. And what does Biden care, really, who the next president is? He knows his legacy is the first incumbent president to get forced off his reelection ticket by a cabal of party insiders who were more powerful than a sitting president. And, given Biden's mental and physical decline, that's not really a subject for debate. Besides, the Biden crime family got a good four years of looting the treasury, Jill got to play-act as POTUS, and Hunter will almost certainly get his pardon.
For a mid-wit schemer with no talents aside from cheap demagoguery and expensive graft, that's not such a bad way to go out. Still, there is that little matter of Biden's prickly ego. Harris is all but running as the challenger to Biden's record, such as it is, with her "new way forward" BS. She dropped him and all "their" accomplishments faster than Usain Bolt fired out of a cannon attached to a Falcon 9 rocket. So if Biden somehow manages to deny Harris his reelection prize with backhanded compliments like that one on The View, could you blame him?
Doooooom Economic Collapse In Slow Motion
Commercial real estate bears a disproportionate share of the city’s fiscal burden. As those values decline dramatically, the short-term fix will be increasing residential property taxes. That will reduce residential real estate values, and drive more upper-income residents out of the city. Which could turn into a financial death spiral. Why are Minneapolis’s problems so acute? Because of crime. Formerly a low-crime city, the George Floyd riots and accompanying attacks on law enforcement have caused a dramatic increase in the rate of serious crime. That has caused businesses, as well as individuals, to avoid the city. With leases continuing to expire, there is no reason to think the downward trends have bottomed out. The City of Minneapolis, meanwhile, is exploring ways of redeveloping George Floyd Square in a manner that will, in the mayor’s words, “honor the life of George Floyd, and point toward a more equitable future.” Somehow, I don’t think that is the focus that the city needs if it is to recover economically.I'm pretty sure that sometime in the next 4 years, we're going to have a 1929 style business collapse, and the party in power will take the blame.

Nearly Automatic for the People: The Great American Story of Waffle House
Folks needing food when they are tired, or working odd hours, or on a budget, or just want something familiar have been finding such comfort at Waffle House for over 60 years now, in good times and bad, all hours of the day, every day. “It is indeed marvelous. An irony-free zone where everything is beautiful and nothing hurts, for everybody regardless of race, creed, color, or degree of inebriation is welcomed,” Anthony Bourdain narrated over his own first experience at Waffle House for his TV show Parts Unknown. The man whose oeuvre became eating anything with anyone anywhere just had to get in on the scattered, smothered, and covered cultural institution, in this case in Charleston, South Carolina. “Its warm yellow glow, a beacon of hope and salvation, inviting the hungry, the lost, the seriously hammered all across the South to come inside, a place of safety and nourishment. It never closes. It is always, always faithful, always there for you.”
FEMA does indeed use the “Waffle House Index" to determine the severity of natural disasters. Today I saw a picture from Florida of a Waffle House boarded up tighter than a bank vault. Stay safe, Florida 'rons and 'ettes.

I remember during the gay marriage debate it was regular for the pro side to bring up ancient Greece.
Well, homosexuality was certainly normalized in some times and in some cities in Greece "ancient" giving a whole lot of time to cover and Greece having controlled much of the ancient world at various points.
But...those gay relationships were between men and boys. What we would today call pedophilia. And that...THAT...is the model that these people believed was something we should embrace?!?

The Royal Navy had all but given-up trying to decrease losses to U-Boats and sink U-Boats, until in desperation they tried something their experts said would not work: The convoy system. Before that became standard operating procedure, British, Commonwealth, and allied nation merchant ships sailed individually. Royal Navy anti-submarine vessels were searching the entire Western Approaches for U-Boats. The probability of finding a single, independent U-Boat in that expanse of water was small. The convoy system turned the tide against the U-Boats. In WW2, Great Britain instituted convoys ASAP after war was declared.

TBH my take was always that the Greeks couldn't figure out how to work together for any length of time.
The defeated Persia with an alliance and shortly thereafter feel into an internecine war that devastated the Greek world...and followed it up with war after war after war.
Ironically "Greece" had its best chance at uniting when their hillbilly cousins in Macedon came in and forcibly made them all ally together. But Alexander didn't build anything that would last and died too young.

Two independent sources have provided corroborating reporting to our team stating 9 surface to air missiles have entered the U.S. through a New Mexico border point of entry. The intended recipients of these weapons are 3 teams operating within the U.S. whose intent is to target President Trump’s airplane.

If “Iran” were to successfully assassinate Trump (God forbid), then a regime change war with Iran would surely be inevitable.
Given the anonymous cabal currently running this country, I would not bet all my quatloos on the US waging a mullah-toppling war against Iran if Iran assassinates Trump. It's saddening I feel the need to write those words.

Shirley a "whole home" generator is swell, but all you need is a generator for two things:

IIRC, the simplest forms of life on Earth today require more than 800 proteins to function. 800 proteins each made up of 100 to 300 amino acids chained together in EXACTLY the correct order.
Even serious origin-of-life scientists have concluded that perhaps 200 unique proteins would be needed for even the most primitive no-frills form of life imaginable to reproduce.
So how do 200 proteins form spontaneously in the same place, in exactly the right orders, so life can begin?
And to make the question a little tougher, consider that proteins don't occur in nature. Life needs to produce them.

(1) A babies heart:
Consider for a few moments the heart of a human baby. It is a few ounces of muscle, fat and connective tissue that has a rhythmic, self-sustaining electrical system. It consists of two separate but remarkably similar pumps, the right and left sides of the heart. It is fully formed by the 8th week of gestation, and continues to beat rhythmically, steadily and continuously for up to 100 years, without any outside help in the vast majority of instances. The stunning symmetry of the microscopic arrangement of myosin and actin protein fibers creates a highly efficient pumping machine. The delicate and yet durable valves regulate the direction of blood flow through the veins and arteries. Consider the simple mechanical elegance of this one single organ.
And then ask yourself one question...
Is there any conceivable way that this was the result of a slimy puddle of primordial goo randomly organizing with this heart as the accidental (natural selection) result?

Two points at which Divine Intervention would seem to be needed.
One, of course, is the Initial Creation of everything.
More pertinent to the current discussion, there's the sudden appearance of the original eukaryotic cell. Three and a half million years or so went by, with non-nucleated cells bobbing about with no progress, then one day, a mere 550 million years ago, boom! not just a cell with a nucleus, but packed and ready to go to blossom into all life on earth. Funny, that.
Article I read decades ago explained how, when prokaryotic cells fossilized, they looked like they had nuclei, which fooled scientists for a while into thinking life-as-we-know-it was around for billions of years. Nope. Suddenly. 550mya. Everything needed for progression of life.

It will run just about everything in the house except the electric stove and the clothes dryer (they run on heavy 220 Volt current). It will keep our two fridges, chest freezer and upright freezer running (we have a lot of meat stored in the freezers).

Important note about cheapo generators: Everything appliance today has "electronics" in it, and those electronics are delicate and cheap and they are made by chinese children.
"Dirty" electricity can ruin components on circuit boards (PCB's). Cheap generators will output "dirty" power and wildly fluctuating Voltage. A good generator will produce a nice, clean consistent Sine Wave.

This is why I have the upmost admiration for the Coast Guard. If the politicians do their jobs right, the other branches really have nothing to do but train. But some dentist from Akron is always going to take a rented 27 foot Cherubini out into a cat 4 because he's had one too many at dinner. And the USCG will be there. in army, you might get shot at. In the Coast Guard, you WILL be putting yourself in harms way..

A few years ago a father son team from Australia came here to buy an old racing sailboat. It was a good boat but built for buoy racing not offshore sailing and it had road hard. Son had some basic sailing experience, dad had almost no boating experience at all and he was nearly 70.
They left right in the middle of the winter to sail back to Australia from Rhode Island. Made about 150 miles offshore in a squall and the Coasties had to go rescue them while risking their lives.
That's why I say if you choose to do really stupid stuff have at it but there's a point when you are on your own. Coast Guard will come for you but they shouldn't have to risk their lives because you're a dumbass.

Wonder if they'll be able to play those games, particularly Tampa. If one or both of those games are "postponed due to hurricane," I wonder what the NFL's contingency plan is?
The NFL can't simply drop those games into the Bucs' & Panthers' scheduled bye weeks, I don't think. Because their scheduled opponents for Sunday have different bye weeks.

Texas Storms I knew and loved.
Tropical Storm Allison. Tropical Storm Bertha. Tropical Storm Fay. Tropical Storm Bill. HURRICANE Claudette. Tropical Storm Grace.
Every storm above this sentence, I rode out while aboard the Sloop New Dawn. All storms which follow, were those that I experienced while ashore. Storms that were "near misses", such as hit Beaumont, but not Galveston, are not included in these mentions.
HURRICANE Rita. I decamped the Sloop New Dawn for that one, opting to accept a invite/request, from a family in Dayton, TX, who had zero storm experience. Ironically, the storm largely missed Galveston, and rang up a bullseye on... Dayton, TX. I did accomplish my purpose though. Those folks needed a TON of help, which I did as well as possible with the scant few tools on hand.
Having became a landlubber in 2006, then, HURRICANE Dolly. Tropical Storm Edouard. HURRICANE IKE. Tropical Storm Bill. Tropical Storm Patricia. HURRICANE Harvey. Tropical Storm Imelda. Tropical Storm Beta. HURRICANE Nicholas. HURRICANE Beryl.

"While in the North Atlantic, roughly 200 miles south of eastern Newfoundland, the QE2 runs into a rampaging Hurricane Luis.
While passengers are ordered to remain in their quarters, the ship’s bow is hit by a 95ft rogue wave at around 4am. From the vantage point of the bridge, the wave is akin to a large wall of water, leading Captain Ronald Warwick to comment later: “It looked as though the ship was headed for the white cliffs of Dover.”
----------
I had a personal conversation with Capt Warwick about this. I asked how he estimated the height of the wave, he replied, 'I was on the bridge, and had to look up at the bloody thing'. The foredeck was caved in, and had to be repaired before the return trip.

Some nice things about drought. Bug count is low, especially mosquitos. If we do get a bit of rain, as we did last week, it soaks in or burns off fast. Doggeh and I can walk through the morning grass and not deal with dew. The dead lawn makes a nice crunchy sound as we walk.
Y'all down in hurricane land, we'll take some of that water. Send it our way. You can keep the tornadoes, we've got plenty of our own.

The internet says a pressure of 25.10" Hg was measured by some storm chaser than dropped a probe that managed to be right in the bullseye.
Now whether that is absolute or relative I'm not sure. That was a drop of nearly 3" below ambient at the time.

Hurricane Nicholas? Did we have a hurricane I didn't notice, or did that one hit Florida while you were doing family stuff there?

I had just about forgotten what life was like before; panhandling drugged out zombies, empty storefronts, garbage everywhere, sullen paranoid passersby, and a general sense of chaos and disorder. Sydney is a reminder of what life used to be like in America.

I almost didn't list Nicholas. It affected THE COAST, and that's about it. Galveston got about an hour of Tropical Storm winds. Surfside and Palacios got it worse.
Nothing more inland really even got more than a day's heavy rain.

Skimming over some of that, they had their instruments mounted on an SUV, and they wrecked in the storm. The data survived.

That style of splitter was not uncommon back in the Depression era. Hydraulics were rare and expensive. You could make a wheel splitter from an old tractor wheel, and drive it by flat belt from your newer tractor. I believe some of the better ones had a swing or tilt table to move the round into position, so the user's hands never had to come near the blade. Safety glasses are must.

I don't think gas prices work like they used to. I don't know why. Remember how they would shoot up at "gulf hurricanes" and "Middle East unrest"? Got both those things and it went DOWN a dime around here.

The Guinness Record for measured pressure drop in a tornado was "The Tulia Tornado" in Texas in 2007, where the pressure dropped 194 mb from ambient, from around 882 mb down to 688.4 mb. (or 0.43 Kamala.)
The report attributed 1mb of that to the "10 meter increase in elevation" of the sensor over "a 60s period."
Accurate readings are hard to come by, for obvious reasons. Storm chasers aren't quite that insane. You've gotta place the sensor and hope its right under the path.
Posted by: mikeski at September 27, 2024 01:11 AM (DgGvY)
Sorry, that was the wrong reference. The values there are even lower than the one I cited, and they are not sure if those numbers are accurate.
Reading that paper you seem them remarking about a "sudden increase" in elevation of the platform. That was the vehicle they had the sensors mounted on being tossed around...

Vahid Haddab, the Iranian Host of an Internet Program linked with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, revealed recently that Israel conducted a Covert Operation last month inside of Iran, which resulted in the Assassination of a Senior Iranian Figure and the Theft of several Important Documents. Other Iranian Media Outlets have Denied the claims, with Vahid stating that there has been a Massive Coverup of the Incident by Iranian Officials, who are attempting to Redirect Focus away from the Attack; further claiming that recent Arrests announced by the IRGC of “Israeli Agents” as well as the Questioning of some Iranian Military Officers is linked to the Operation.

Now I know they used to hang a piece of rope outside the teepee. If the rope was wet, they knew it was raining. If the rope was moving, they knew it was windy. How they determined such things before they invented rope I have no idea.
