Tuesday Overnight Open Thread (10/22/24)
Quote I “All tech we are relying on is performing adequately, any issues are immediately addressed, and of course – like any big organization – we have parallel backup systems as a failsafe,” Trump campaign political director James Blair
Quote II “We have collectively acknowledged that a membership dues increase is needed which is greater than the 25 percent (or $6.25) the National Board has authority to approve in a single triennium,” Girl Scouts of the USA President Noorain Khan and CEO Bonnie Barczykowski wrote in a handbook
Everything You've Ever Wanted to Know About Donating Your Body to Science
Pam Poulakos and Irene Hombs don’t want to be buried when they die. A standard cremation won’t do, either. The sisters from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, have discussed their end-of-life options at length, and ultimately, they want to serve the greater good. They’ve decided to donate their bodies to science.
It looks like Jonah got some balls. Oh yeah, his wife was out with her MAGA BFF.
The political analyst Samuel Lubell introduced the concept of the sun and moon parties in 1951. The sun party is the majority party, and “it is within the majority party that the issues of any particular period are fought out; while the minority party shines in reflected radiance of the heat thus generated.” Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Democratic Party was the sun party for two generations, until the dawn of the Reagan majority. When Bill Clinton signed welfare reform and (falsely) declared, “The era of big government is over,” he was reflecting the reality of that transformation. In the early 2000s, the GOP receded back into moon status. “But,” as David Brooks noted in 2011, “something strange happened. No party took the lead. … Both parties have become minority parties simultaneously. We are living in the era of two moons and no sun.”
We drove through Iowa twice in the past 13 days. I guess we kicked in some money to their coffers.
BOONE, Iowa — A new study shows tourists in Iowa spent $7.3 billion for the first time. The Iowa Visitor Economic Impact data, released for 2023 by the Iowa Tourism Office, reports that tourism-related expenditures totaled $7.3 billion for the first time in the state’s history. That’s a 5.1% increase from 2022. On average, visitors spent nearly $20 million per day experiencing all that Iowa has to offer.
Oct. 22, 1992: The Day Rush Limbaugh Rejected the GOP and Endorsed Bill Clinton “I can no longer ignore what is becoming obvious,” Rush Limbaugh somberly notified his audience at the beginning of his three-hour show on Thursday, Oct. 22, 1992. His voice — and presumably his heart — was heavy. His tone was unusually forlorn. A melancholy mood permeated the air.
When I get old and decrepit don't let me out in public like Chris Matthews. My goodness his meds are not being properly dosed.
I’ve never seen a more heroic figure than Liz Cheney. She lost her state, probably forever. She lost her party. She lost her leadership in the Republican House. She probably could have been on her way to Speaker.
A 19-year-old Walmart employee was discovered dead in a mysterious incident reportedly involving a large baking oven. Police responded to calls of a ‘sudden death’ at a store in Halifax, Nova Scotia, around 9.30pm on Saturday, and found a deceased woman. Where in the store her body was found as not immediately disclosed.
Too soon? Day old baked goods anyone?

Last night, about 2am, we heard it raining, for about a minute. A few minutes later, it rained for almost five minutes. Got up this morning and there was no clue that it had rained at all. So. Very. Dry. Lord, we could use a little more. Lots more. Soon, please.
Howdy, y'all.

As has been noted, Pa has over 700k of what it calls, inactive voter registrations as part of it's total voter registration.
What's an inactive voter registration?
Beats the sh*t out of me.
What it means though is that they have a reserve of over 700k potential ballots.
And being that nobodies going to audit any of this sh*t means they can generate any result they need.
Hence the statements of it's going to take weeks to count the ballots.

Back in the days of hand drafting, we used "sticky-backs" which were xerox-able sheets that adhered to mylar sheets to complete parts of drawings. We also used them to plaster on to windshields of cars whose alarms went off during the workday. 1980's in Chicago.

OMayra Guillen@mguilen_ 5h
Wow.
I don’t appreciate how you are exploiting my sister’s death for politics -- hurtful & disrespectful to the important changes she made for service members. President Donald Trump did nothing but show respect to my family & Vanessa. In fact, I voted for President Trump today.
Breaking911 @Breaking911 1h
RIGHT ON CUE: 2 weeks before the election, The Atlantic publishes article saying Trump wanted 'Generals that Hitler had.'
They also quote an unnamed source who claims Trump offered to pay for murdered Army soldier Vanessa Guillén's funeral but backed out and called her 'a fucking Mexican.'
Guillén's sister released this statement: “I am beyond grateful for all the support President Donald Trump showed our family during a trying time. I witnessed firsthand how President Trump honors our nation’s heroes’ service. We are grateful for everything he has done and continues to do to support our troops.”

If you take two or more spaces up close to the store to park your rig, you are being an asshole, by denying space to others (who may not be all that good at walking far anymore).
Do it in the far reaches of the lot, nobody will mind.

My current Number One Parking Lot Crime is someone with a handicap plate or rear view mirror tag dropping-off the spouse at the store entrance, parking in a handicap spot, then driving to pick-up spouse when he/she exits store with bags.
Why not let someone who is handicapped and must go into the store themselves park in the handicap spots? Because the above people are a-holes who feel entitled and selfish.
My long-time Number Two Parking Lot Crime is women of a certain skin color with no children on-board parking in the "Reserved for People With Small Children" spots. Reparations appear to come in many forms.

Truck stops are a very, no offense intended, liberal use of the term "tourist dollars".
I bet a huge amount of "tourist dollars" roll into Iowa every election year when presidential candidates, their entourages and the world wide media joins them.

And that is why there are so many werewolves around.
Right Werner?
Posted by: Kindltot
The logic is undeniable. A balding Werner envies their perfect hair, and would like to know their tailor. There is a sadness here, though, as some of their lycanthropic ranks seem to lose their passion for shape-shifting, and heed no longer the siren call of the full Moon. These were-werewolves cannot bring themselves even to howl over the moors. Sadder still are the Leopard Men and Were Hyenas, who, through a species-specific dysmorphia, pine to be lycans, yet these were-not-yet-would-that-they-were-werewolves must bear up under their affliction. There are some who claim that all of this explains the Kardashians, yet Werner remains unconvinced. Now, what were-Werner thinks on this is not clear, as he shares not his ruminations with me, not even on Oktoberfest. Would that it were not so. Ach.

In the past I waited until Election Day because I thought voting early just helped the Dems figure out how much they needed to cheat by. But the truth is they’re gonna cheat no matter what, if not by stuffing the ballot box then by not having enough ballots on hand in Republican precincts, or suddenly having “unforeseen technical difficulties” forcing people to wait for hours on Election Day, which is what happened two years ago in Arizona.
So don’t risk being caught in their malfeasance. Vote early if you can.

So, I mentioned earlier about losing out on Godzilla in the Criterion sale. After much wailing, gnashing of teeth and tending of garments, I resolved to stop acting like a little bitch and got a bunch of other also awesomely awesome movies.
Demon Pond (Japan) (1979) (Masahiro Shinoda)
Don't Look Now (US/Italy) (1973) (Nicolas Roeg)
I Walked With A Zombie/The Seventh Victim: Produced By Val Lewton (1943) (Jacques Tourneur) (US) (1943) (Mark Robson)
Peeping Tom (UK) (1960) (Michael Pressberger)
The Seventh Seal (Sweden) (1957) (Ingmar Bergman)
So, a pretty damn good haul if I do say so.
And I think, well, that's enough spending for now.

Great day at the range today with my friend @AdamKinzinger. We got to hang out with some union workers while exercising our freedom. Always have your first aid kit handy. Shrapnel can always fly when you hit a target like today, and you’ve got to be ready to go. We had four first

I’m sorry, but this tweet is INSANE. It contains multitudes. The longer you look at the photos, the worse it gets.
1) They are shooting steel at 5-7 yards with rifles, which could’ve killed somebody given the force with which the bullets will ricochet off the steel targets at the at distance. You would instantly get permanently banned at my range if you did that. Zero questions asked.
2) Kinzinger holds his rifle like a complete ninny, and that will never not be funny to me. And pro-tip for @AdamKinzinger: the eye protection works better when it’s on your eyes, not your head. You stupid idiot. Try using your brain for once. You’re lucky you still have one after today.
3) Kinzinger is for some reason using a high-powered scope (at least a 3-9x by the looks of it) to shoot a target 5 yards away.

I'm still pissed about letting girls into Boy Scouting, and I say that as an Eagle Scout with Silver Palm who attended a World Jamboree in Japan in '71 (when the yen was 360 to the dollar). There's something to be said for boy's spaces that allow those boys to grow into men.

Yes; Sean mentions them/it in the list:
5) There are at least two canisters of explosive Tannerite powder on the table, down range from where guns are being fired. That could’ve potentially killed or seriously injured someone if someone shot it or if someone was stupid enough to be shooting close enough to steel for a ricochet to hit it.

So, what did these two future Presidents debate, exactly?
1) A lengthy & SPIRITED discussion as to whether the uninhabited (IIRC) Pescadores Islands off the coast of China were inshore or offshore islands!
2) Kennedy said the U.S. was in danger because of a "missile gap"* with the Soviet Union. We needed more, said Kennedy. Nixon disputed that. As President, Kennedy later admitted that he'd been wrong about the supposed missile gap.
Behold, the Great Issues of 1960!

Shooting a reporter will be the big story but look at Adam, he’s using a scope meant for 100-400 yards to shoot at targets only 15 ft away. Thankfully only a campaign got killed today!

You can tell they are pretenders by their use of the word shrapnel. They mean fragments. Using the term shrapnel when you are referring to shell or bullet fragments is a sure way to get your Smart Military Blog™ Membership Card revoked.
Shrapnel is a specific type of artillery shell designed to air-burst and propel metal balls (usually called 'shrapnel') towards the ground, to injure infantry and cavalry in the open. In essence, a big shotgun shell that opens a long way from the firing location.

I won't argue with that. But keep in mind that, at least currently, boys and girls are separated in the regular Scouts. It's only the cubs that are co-ed. Girls have to have their own troop organizations. Many are "sister troops" to existing boy-only troops, and there are opportunities at organized events for the two to mingle, but the boys still have their own troop structure, leadership, and everything.
For parents who find themselves stretched thin across multiple children with too many activities already, having a single organization to work with like this can be a plus.

However, his DEM Senate opponent Lance Kunce is not a fraud like aWalz. Kunce is a veteran with a very respectable military resume. Last time he ran, Kunce assembled his disassembled rifle blindfolded in a campaign commercial.
One more time: I already voted for Hawley. So... don't. I contributed generously (by my modest standards) to Hawley when he beat Sky Queen McCaskill, too.

I don't know... I suspect the ones who started early wanted to prove themselves quickly, but that's just a guess. I don't really know how many there are.
I have heard rumors of co-ed troops on the horizon, but I am skeptical a.) that it will happen, and b.) that it will work, for the reasons RickZ specified.
I think girls becoming Scouts is a net positive right now, but there's such a thing as taking things too far.

One of the lawyers who has spent the last couple of years defending J6 defendants for donations is a former DOJ prosecutor who left the government in 2013 to go into private practice. His name is Bill Shipley but he goes by @shipwreckedcrew on X. One of his first clients was Jacob Chansley, also know as the Shaman. The guy in the Buffalo hat.
He practiced in Hawaii and knows Tulsi and her family and he insists she is a flake and her family is very strange. Probably. I don't care about that right now. Anything that drives votes our way I'll take. We can deal with the flakes after the election.

Once at my favorite now discontinued steels match, shooting a plate-rack up near a berm, RO behind me, I felt a jacket fragment hit my nose - and I felt the blood running down onto my lip. Didn't hurt at all. For fun, I just finished the rack, RO does his thing (clear, slide, trigger, holster), and I turn around.
Shock and "ooh!" from the RO and the small squad. Small bandaid, bleeding stopped.
I usually shoot lead (reloads), little problem with those, but jacketed bullets + steel is a combo that calls for prudence.

when you shoot a guy and then put a belt (a dangerous tourniquet) on his arm, that's not "providing first aid."

Rhode Island is a bit of a misnomer in that the state is actually a collection of many of them. I live on one. My second favorite and one I've spent much of my life playing on and around is Block Island. Spectacular place.
I was given a beautiful copy of Treasure Island by an aunt when I was a kid. Gorgeous hard cover edition with beautiful illustrations. Pirates. I got the ocean bug when I was a kid. Been a lot of places but I will never leave.

Leaked documents from the Center for Countering Digital Hate reveal their primary goal is to "Kill Musk's Twitter" by targeting advertising and leveraging EU regulations.
The British non-profit organization hosted a private meeting with liberal groups opposing Musk’s free speech platform, including representatives from the Biden White House, Rep. Adam Schiff’s office, the Biden-Harris State Department, and Media Matters for America.

Absolutely. For sheer opulence they are pretty much unparalleled here in the US. And a great glimpse into how the great industrialists of the early 20th century lived.
Most are open as museums now and easy to visit and they houses are spectacular as are the grounds. Used to be a local charity that would sponsor Great Gatsby parties to raise money for local children's parties complete with period dress and bands and they were a blast. If you come now in the Fall you can do a Coffee and Cars with Jay Leno at one of the mansions many of the weekends.

Wonderful Voodoo scene in Black Orpheus (Orfeu Negro), very authentic, or so it seems.
Cigar smoking, cotton-eyed priest summons the spirit of a recently deceased young woman, to possess the body of one of the voodoo celebrants.
It's a hell of a fine film. Obama first said he loved it, and then decided he didn't. Too much white involvement in the production; too much "exoticism."

Werner earnestly pleads that you not include Vlad Țepeș with these...these...ach, words fail me. and you all well know that invective is a German art form, second only to making horrendously bad decisions. Vlad could be described as someone whose idea of a formally-appointed dinner differed somewhat from that of others, or as an early, if misdirected, sous vide enthusiast. I mean, those he impaled were defeated Ottoman invaders, ruthless criminals, boyars who got to be too big for their britches, or people who had pissed Vlad off that morning. Occasionally, he would have the wrong person impaled, and there would be great laughter and merriment, with Vlad slapping his head and saying, oh Vlad, you goofy guy, you wasted a perfectly good stake. Warnius, you up there, sorry about that. And Warnius would laugh as the sharpened pole pierced his last vital organs, saying, yes, my prince, you got me on that one. Could a priest may be found, that I could receive the last rites and gurrrrggllll. A chuckling Vlad would order a nice fruit basket for Warnius's family

Giuliani was a national hero during 9/11 and before that he cleaned up NYC and made it livable again and leftists have used the legal process to ruin his life because he dared to challenge them. This crap has to end. I'm sure Trump will have his back but this needs to stop happening.

No, it wasn't outrageous for prices. Drinks were 20/30% more than at a restaurant - which was expected. Cover charge to pay for the live music, again expected. Negative on the French Revolution story. I've read a bit about the place online, but pretty shallow on the historical aspect. Do share, I'm interested to hear.

The place began as a Hot Jazz place after WWI. Before that, the Caveau (cellar) was otherwise used. During the French Revolution, the Jacobins had mock trials there (everyone guilty) and executed them there.
I prefer the music and dancing option.
Did you attend for the Hot 20's Jazz or the Blues? They alternate.

The Trump transition team has yet to sign two agreements with the federal government to receive transition funding and planning assistance and to share information — a break with modern precedent.
Instead, transition co-chairs Linda McMahon, who served as small business administrator in the Trump administration, and investor and GOP mega-donor Howard Lutnick are plowing ahead with their own processes for vetting potential political appointees and preparing policy plans.
