Strange Geography – Kentucky Bend
While watching a University of Kentucky basketball game recently (#CatsBy90!), I noticed that there is now a watermark in the shape of the state of Kentucky on the floor at Rupp Arena.
What may appear to be a mistake is actually a very astute accuracy. There is a very small part of Kentucky which is not connected to the rest of the state.
This sparse and serene landscape is as remote as an island, and to get here you have to mean it. "Kentucky Bend," or “New Madrid Bend,” is encircled on the north, east, and west by a snaking hairpin turn of the Mississippi River, while the southern portion is joined to the state of Tennessee. It’s literally an exclave of Kentucky, 30 square miles of land completely cut off from the rest of the state, all formed by a combination of surveyor mishaps and raging earthquakes.
Kentucky's anomalous peninsula projecting into the Mississippi River, site of legendary earthquakes and local feuds.
Jutting out into the middle of the Mississippi River, the tiny community on the Kentucky Bend consists of a smattering of houses, cotton fields, and a lone cemetery. Yet this little spit of land has fascinated outsiders for well over a century.
The Mississippi River, central America’s preeminent determiner of East-West boundaries, was useless in marking ownership when it came to the Kentucky Bend. Missouri and Tennessee fought over the Bend until the mid-1800’s, when Tennessee finally relinquished its claim to Kentucky, which came out on top thanks to latitudinal jurisdiction.
Read the two linked articles for more information. Quite fascinating.

Minnesota has some exclaves, but they're cut off by a foreign country.

352 I'll re-post if this gets willowed:
Bought the frozen turkey breast (3 lbs.) this morning and put it in the fridge. Then, about five hours later, I realized I didn't want to thaw it out so early, so I put it in the freezer.
Do y'all think it's still okay?
They say you can re-freeze a thawed turkey, but I can't find anything on a barely begun to thaw one.
Very inexperienced turkey cooker here- we always went somewhere for Thanksgiving.

The real lairs are on volcanic atolls near Bora Bora.
The good news is the Red Army is no more. The current one is moving forward at an appalling number of men lost per kilometer gained. And their allied troops have never seen Western porn before. They are ruined for NK.
I aver that North Korean porn is a well-dressed woman eating at Denny's.

There's a part of northeast North Carolina that is accessable either via going beyond Pungo in Virginia Beach, along the coast on a winding two lane road through a coastal National Park, or a ferry from the mainland of North Carolina, near Coinjock. I've taken that route once to start a vacation, leaving from Norfolk and going down through Va Beach and that ferry, ending up in the Outer Banks, going way down on Hatteras Island to near Cape Hatteras and the Lighthouse (Avon).

I enjoyed the dirty car video.
I watched 'Saw 6' just a few minutes ago. I'd like that to be how the DUGE works.
You know, most of the people involved and 'victims' were corporate or govt people. So you wanted them to suffer. Well I did.
Except....spoiler alert for 'Saw 6' so go away...
Now.
The villain, was ultimately a government employee.
Here's what I found funny..in his off hours, he kidnapped about 12 people, kept them alive and drugged, set up all the 'choices' and put all the bodies in place.
Plus, he lived the American Dream and did something nasty to his boss. Knives were involved. Throats. Fire. But anyways..
That is the type of employee the DOGE needs to have on staff to work 80 hours a week with no pay for fun to get rid of government people crew.
Their blood letting would just be for catharctic freedom.
And drunken entertainment.

I hate to break it to you but Norks are not now, nor have ever been in Russia. It is an info op, and a lame one.
The Russians are not the Soviets, do not use human wave assaults, and are very cleverly, and astutely chiseling their way into Ukraine's defenses. They've turned the flank and are sweeping the southern trench lines from the east.
The advance is slow, methodical, and effective. Note how they shift around fortified settlements and isolate them with fire control of the outlying roads before making their move. When Chasov Yar falls, that whole sector will collapse - there's nothing behind it but farm fields.

New Jersey has a very small corner of land across the Delaware river on the Delaware side. Not entirely sure why, or at least I cannot remember. It's not like the river changed course. It's like a 200 foot wide strip, I think, for a quarter of a mile. I could be off a fair bit though.
No one actually lives in that chunk of New Jersey... I think Delaware tries to keep the insanity confined on the other side of the river.

I believe there have been attempts to colonize the region, given that it's no-man's-land/terra nullius, but apparently neither country is gonna go along with that. Also, this area is a shithole even by the standards of Northeast Africa. No roads, no water, no population... even the local desert tribes pass through there as fast as they can on the way to some slightly less shitholey region.

That was the problem. The British Army was suffering from mutinies because the conscripted wanted to go home. Look up the US Polar Bear units.
To be honest, it's the prequel to where we are today - trying to fight a cheap, low-casualty war in the heart of Eurasia against people who really, really want to win.

1. The Russians continue their relentless advance on the ground.
2. Things are heating up at the Kursk salient, as the Ukrainians throw drones and missiles into Russia. Courageous assault? Or desperate attempt to disrupt Russian logistics during a headlong retreat?
3. Today's rumor is the medium-range ballistic missile strike on that Ukrainian industrial complex last week was targeting a nuclear weapons workshop. Whatever it was, there is a suspicious silence about the damage done by a revolutionary weapons system.

The UK and probably the French or at least Brussels promised those lands, those minerals and that labor force to someone in return for the loans to Zelensky and the Ukrainians. The City of London banks got guarantees on the loans they issued, and Zelensky has defaulted. Because of the guarantees, the Exchequer is on the hook to the banks, which means Parliament is going to have to screw it out of the British taxpayer, which is what Starmer is apparently trying to do right now.
The big banking money people are thinking they can screw the money out of the taxpayers, since that is what they always did, but I am reminded of a time when the Knights Templar decided to call in debts against the French king to reconquer the Holy land, and wound up having their debt cancelled when the order was executed out of hand.

It was in 1987, that the seed of what would become the F-35 was first planted. It was intended to replace the AV-8A Harrier. Here we are in 2024 do we finally see the F-35.
The Harrier is no longer in British service, all of the GR7 and GR9 Harriers were ferried to Davis Monthan to serve as spare parts for all other users of the Harrier II.

Sure, plenty. But without Lenin and his charisma, the only other revolutionary who might have pulled it off was Trotsky. Stalin was a nobody in 1917. Though Trotsky was efficient at organizing the Red Army, he didn't have the 'it' factor that Lenin had. With Trotsky, there probably would have been a power struggle much earlier, again with Stalin out of the picture. People like Derzhinsky or Tomsky, Rykov, etc. Who knows? Pure speculation. Lenin was the real deal, though, and proved it. His legacy of misery lasted 80 years.

I do wonder if Englands "staunch support" of the Poles was merely a play to block France's influence away from the area by breaking the Franco-Polish alliance, which would support the reason the UK dropped them like a hot rock at the end of the war, when the USSR marched in.

Only understanding film clips and the writings of those who experienced Lenin in person, it's something we have a hard time understanding today. It was his power of oratory. Same as Hitler. Would there have been a Nazi Party without Hitler? Sure, there already was one which Hitler joined. But it would not have been the same Nazi Party? Who knows if a Goebbels or a Himmler would have made the cut in a different Nazi government, if one took over. Goering? Probably being a military hero and all. But it was Hitler, just like Lenin, who brought it all together. It's a skill/luck few people have, being true revolutionaries. Most play-act.

Not a clue, but the Poles had developed a Franco-Polish relationship in the 20's which would have gone a bit to create a block in central Europe, which the Brits felt was essential for controlling Eurasia; west of the Urals was a good path from the Baltic to the Black Sea, and that would have been a barrier to Russia and isolated the Balkans. After the war that is what Stalin wanted and wound up with.

Fun Fact! My dad liked that type of nutcracker and had a big collection of them. He put them out at Christmas every year. They were stationed on a high shelf. High enough that someone had to stand on barstools to put them in place. And that someone had to walk on several barstools to get them all lined up on the shelf. Dad knew I didn't like the creepy fuckers and always, as in EVERY YEAR, expected ME to put them on the shelf. There were other people in the room. People who were unwrapping the nutcracker brigade, people handing them up to me, people who said stupid shit like "hey mayhem, you're doing that without a net!" But did they have to walk around on barstools setting creepy fucking nutcracker on a shelf every December and then walk around on barstools to take the damned things down in January? No. No they did not. They refused to do it because they said "it's her job".
And Pappymayhem laughed his ass off about it.

The problem is that you can spout all the facts you want, their brains are in a place of pure emotion. Refuting things point by point won't change their mind. When my sibling spouted the "good people on both sides" misinformation as fact, I knew even if I played the whole speech, they'd dismiss it and move on to the next disinformation. TDS is a powerful drug. Sorry that it's so rough.

Hey, there were actually a couple of halfway bangable ones. How did that happen?
I think I mentioned before that I once went to a "Slut Walk" because the event was described as featuring naked sluts (and you didn't even need any dollar bills).
Wow, was that a mistake.

Not quite sure what your edit means.
My take on Insom was that he was severely depressed, hated practicing law, & was involuntarily unemployed.
Surprisingly, given all that, he was funny.

Nah, JQ. Pappymayhem didn't have a mean bone in his body. He just thought it was funny that I kept swearing at inanimate objects instead of swearing at my him. After he passed away, my brothers, Thing one and Thing two and I had to divide up all the Christmas decor. Hubbymayhem kept some of the nutcracker brigade! I threatened divorce but Hubbymayhem laughed and said " look on the bright side... You won't have to climb to set them out at Christmas! " He likes them and likes that they were dad's.

A movie about parents splitting up could be cathartic. It's a very real, painful experience for many kids. I trust the storyteller. But that doesn't mean it's good. Not sure if I'll see it in theaters or not.

NSDAP wasn't going anywhere without Adolf. The entire Nazi party apparatus was nothing more than an extension of Hitler. Goebbels was a loud-mouth whom nobody really liked and all Goering wanted was fun, fame, fabulous babes, furs, and morphine. Heck, he'd've joined a Jewish party (absent the NSDAP) if they promised him that.

Some say in ice.
From what Moltov tasted of desire
He holds with those who favor fire.
But if Trotsky had to perish twice,

To say that for destruction ice

And would suffice.
