Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Sunday Overnight Open Thread - May 25, 2025 [Doof]![]() Feel good story Woman Stunned to See Grandparent’s Wartime Locket Online After Stranger Buys it in Thrift Shop to Find Owner ![]() From Canada comes the story of a lost family heirloom finding its way home in the most bizarre series of circumstances. Kelly Brown, a member of the Aurora post of the Royal Canadian Legion, sat at her home last week in shock: staring at what appeared to be a black-and-white photograph of her grandparents smiling out from the inside of a locket; the subject of a post on Facebook. The post’s author, Alison Anne, said she had found and bought the locket at a thrift shop after recognizing the man in the photo was connected to the Royal Canadian Air Force, and wanted to know if anyone had a clue as to its original owner; a simple, selfless act that against all odds, paid off.More at the link. Cool story. Ever wondered how much better top human athletes could be if they were allowed to use performance-enhancing substances in competitions? Well, in May of next year, these questions will be answered, as the first edition of Enhanced Games kicks off. Marketed as an event designed to remove the stigma of using PEDs and to safely push the limits of human athletic performance, Enhanced Games has rightly been nicknamed the “Olympic Games on Steroids”. Originally announced as a concept in 2023, the Enhanced Games will host its first ever edition in May of next year, in las Vegas, with eight different events in swimming (50- and 100-meter races in freestyle and butterfly), track (100-meter sprint and 100/110-meter hurdles) and weightlifting (snatch, clean and jerk). “We are here to move humanity forward, the old rules didn’t just hold back athletes, they held back humanity,” Aron D’Souza, Enhanced Games president and founder, said during a lavish presentation on the stage of a club on the Las Vegas Strip. *** Enhanced Games has already received millions of dollars in funding from venture capitalists like PayPal founder Peter Thiel, Christian Angermayer and Donald Trump Jr, as co-founder of 1789 Capital. Although D’Souza has not disclosed all his sources of funding, he did reveal that his company plans to make money by selling direct-to-consumer performance enhancers, in a model similar to that of Red Bull, which sponsors all sorts of extreme sporting events to market its energy drinks. Although anti-doping agencies see Enhanced Games as a “clown show” that puts profits over principle, D’Souza claims that the current anti-doping rules are outdated, and his idea is a better alternative. Nutrition and technology already play a big role in all major sports, giving distinct advantages to athletes and organizations who can afford to invest in them, so why should PEDs be any different? Instead of what many are calling a broken anti-doping system, putting these performance-enhancing drugs front and center for the entertainment of the masses is a much better idea.Sure - why not? At least they're honest about the stuff the athlete's are taking.
Clever desktop organization!
Some guys never grow up (not that there's anything wrong with that!)
This month we were treated to multiple events with Melania and Usha. On May 20, Melania hosted the “Take our Daughters and Sons to Work Day” event in the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden. Children from the President’s executive office staff decorated wooden American Flags as part of Melania’s BE BEST children’s initiative. Melania looked perfect for a garden event in a Dolce & Gabbana white shirt and Michael Kors Collection blurred floral print duchesse satin pencil skirt in moss green The skirt is still available at Neiman Marcus, but only a few sizes are left so hurry! ![]() ![]() On May 21, Melania hosted the Senate Spouses Luncheon at the National Gallery of Art. A quick hijack- my stepbrother had his wedding reception at the National Gallery of Art. Our limo driver dropped us off. We went in, we were ushered through security in lightening speed. We were wondering why there was security. We look around, everyone is speaking Spanish. Okay…well…my stepmother is Cuban. Then a mariachi band starts playing. My dad frantically texts us asking where we are. Y’all. We were at the Mexican Embassy, and the president was having some big shindig that we crashed. We can only assume we were let in and treated with reverence like we were because my ex-husband was in his dress blues with all his ribbons everywhere. We exited stage left and made it to the art gallery with another “you won’t believe this” story. Back to fashion, the Senate Spouses Luncheon and Melania. If you ever sat and wondered if shoes really matter, oh boy do they. Melania wore a Dolce & Gabbana wool pencil skirt and single breasted jacket in ivory. She paired it with a Dolce & Gabbana silk shirt in chocolate. Kind of neutral, right? Then we get to the shoes… Manolo Blahnik BB Cow Print Pointed Pumps and swoon! ![]() ![]() Second Lady Usha Vance was also in attendance. She chose a beautiful Badgley Mischka Asymmetric Draped Crepe Dress in Royal Blue. She paired it with silver pumps, but there isn’t a clear enough picture to identify who they were by. ![]() ![]() Usha was absolutely stunning and perfect for the Inauguration Mass of Pope Leo XIV. She wore an Alexia Admor Riley Flutter Sleeve Sheath Dress in black with Manila Blahnik Skiotto Leather Pumps, also in black. She wore her favorite Ray Ban Club Master sunglasses in shiny gold / black as well. ![]() ![]() Trend alert 🚨! Cut out dresses and shirts are going to be a thing this summer, which may lead to interesting tan lines. Ivanka wore a super cute example in this Lillie knit minidress by Cult Gaia. We will feature more of this in a future edition of ‘Ette Couture. ![]() ![]() ------ Thanks, Piper -- and Happy Birthday!!! from thisdayinmusic.com Born on this date in 1958: English singer, songwriter, and musician Paul Weller (The Jam, later The Style Council) Bonus track from The Jam - Town Called Malice Born on this date in 1955: John Grimaldi, from English rock band Argent who had the 1972 UK No.5 single 'Hold Your Head Up' and the hit and 'God Gave Rock and Roll to You' (later covered by KISS) Born on this date in 1948: Klaus Meine, from German rock band Scorpions Tonight's ONT brought to you by a Dittohead dream ![]() Comments, questions, suggestions, or emotional outbursts?

Bride of PI picked The Last Rifleman for our movie date this weekend.
It is a pretty good "veterans" movie, and it did get very dusty in our house several times despite the windows being closed. It is deliberately slow paced to gradually unreel the story. The story lines is a bit embellished, but based on a true story. Pierce Brosnan does a masterful job in the lead - when he is a 70 year old IRL. For anyone that is a Brosnan fan, I think you would definitely enjoy the movie. Posted by: Pillage Idiot at May 25, 2025 10:28 PM (HlyYF) 51

I personally know (and also know from media) many women that also are more attractive wearing sunglasses. I have guy friends that have that perception much more strongly than I do.

Right? I look in the mirror and wonder why I can see my mom flash before my eyes! But then I think I don’t really look 54, do I? I am trying to convince myself.
Posted by: Piper at May 25, 2025 10:37 PM Wasn't it wonderful to "see" your Mom again? I have been working from home for the last several weeks and just let my beard grow out untrimmed. Picked up the electric razor a few days ago, looked up into the mirror and saw my father! He let his beard go wild several times in his last few years since he had a terrible tremor. My face wasn't exactly the same, but my beard was! Posted by: Pillage Idiot at May 25, 2025 10:48 PM (HlyYF) 90

Cow print shoes, definitely not a fan. Ditto on cutouts. Both ladies look lovely, regardless! Usha seemed overdressed for a luncheon, only because it looked more like a cocktail dress to me, but, she, too, looked beautiful!
Memorial Day is always somber for me, which suited our soggy weather. 9 inches in the last 30 hours, on top of 15 inches week before last. Am postponing graveyard visits til we dry out some, but there were lots of ceremonies around here. One feels so incredibly grateful, and humbled, as well. I'm told the little Yankee soldier's grave was attended to, as per our rural custom. We are several hours from any battle site, and no one knows how he got here, but we fuss over his grave, and make sure it looks nice, because he was somebody's son, and that's how Southern folk do. God rest his soul. Posted by: Tammy al-Thor at May 25, 2025 10:49 PM (Vvh2V) 94

Posted by: Miklos How do you keep the jacket smoking? Does it use coal, wood, or tobacco?

This past Christmas, I had noticed that local people in my Tiny Town were griping about the mail ladies delivering the mail.
I'd never noticed a problem with them so I thought it would be fun to leave them a package of Ghirardelli chocolates with a bow and a little thank you note. And yesterday I happened to be out in the yard when they drove by and they rolled the window down and gave me a great big wave which made me smile.

Questioned Grok with 3 related questions and statements.
1. How does the covid -19 shot change human gnome? 2. "The mRNA does not enter the cell nucleus, where DNA is stored, and it degrades quickly after translation..." This is incorrect. mRNA is found in the body years after insertion. 3."The mRNA does not enter the cell nucleus, where DNA is stored, and it degrades quickly after translation into protein...." Then; Why is it causing so many cancers and myocardial infarction? It reads like propaganda. Here is the whole thing. https://tinyurl.com/27ps5ahv Musk should see Grok's response Posted by: Braenyard - some Absent Friends are more equal than others _ at May 25, 2025 10:55 PM (yRJGL) Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh at May 25, 2025 10:55 PM (QnmlO) 103
I believe when the roid guy broke the world record, he was also wearing a suit that is now illegal. (However, it WAS legal when Cielo set the world record in 2009. So they matched the equipment conditions.)
However, I have done lots of swimming time trials with no competitor pushing you. You NEVER go nearly as fast in a time trial compared to an actual race with multiple competitors pushing you. If the "Enhanced Games" ever get eight swimmers all close to world record capability, then I predict the "clean" records will get smashed.

Braenyard,
Did you ever read up on how much DNA fragment contamination there was in the MRNA "vaccine"? I believe they got approval under one manufacturing process, and then produced the MRNA "vaccine" in volume using a rougher process. (That is a BS certification, by the way.) With that many DNA fragments introduced into our cells via the lipid nanoparticle coatings, there is no way for the science establishment to state with certainty that it can't enter the nucleus. Further, we do not have a good grasp on reverse transcription, so changes to an individual's genome are certainly possible. Posted by: Pillage Idiot at May 25, 2025 11:04 PM (HlyYF) 124
But then I think I don’t really look 54, do I? I am trying to convince myself.

Braenyard,
Went and read from your Grok link. This statement is taken straight from the CDC publication on mRNA. "These vaccines use messenger RNA (mRNA) to instruct cells to produce a harmless piece of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein ..." The CDC STILL has that BS about "harmless piece of spike protein" up on their website, while there are documented harms from all over the world. I guess when you are "The Science", the word "harmless" must mean something different than what it means to normies.

Anselmo was drinking heavily, stage-left, during the opening acts (which included Sepultura - freaking bad-ass!). By the time Pantera took the stage he was so drunk he couldn't sing, couldn't remember the lyrics to his own songs, and started repeatedly bashing himself in the forehead with his mic until he was bloody. Then he dropped to his knees and puked off the front of the stage. That was enough for us... We said F-it and left. Even Dimebag couldn't save that shit-show.

Moki! How are you?
The tombstone says Union Soldier, Unknown. I guess at one point, it said Yankee instead of Union, but they raised money for a new one in the 50s, because Yankee could be construed as perjorative, and the locals didn't want anyone to think they would be hateful about a young boy. He was always referred to as little, so it's always been assumed he was very young. There are a few other similar graves in the surrounding area; the other ones do have first names, but no one knows how they ended up here. If they had just settled here after the war, and died later, they'd have had full names on their stones. But we take care of them, and they get prayed over like our local boys. And we all hope we'll eventually find out who they were, so we can let their people know they've been cared for, just as if they were our own.

And today I saw the ultimate ridiculous dress in a shop window. I couldn't even begin to look for an example on the net. It was big puffy pink netting )tulle?) in a wide strip to cover the breasts. They whoever wore it would have a bare midriff with a huge puffy tulle skirt that went to the knees and by puffy I mean it must have stood out from the body by about two feet . All I can think was it was an outfit for a outrageous drag queen or "transgender "show because this is a super LBGT friendly town with pride flags everywhere. I wasn't there for that . I went to a RCC church for Mass and no, I didn't not take the Eucharist. It was one of the most beautiful churches I have ever been in.

RickZ-- I was the same: wondering "If this crap is so deadly, where are all the bodies?"
There was so much BS being shown on teevee, and the pressure from peers at work. Although my company did not *require* the cl0tsh0t, they offered several incentive$ (not much $, but some) and seemed to be considering a requirement. We had guv contracts, after all. If hubby hadn't gotten so ill & needed me at home, I might have succumbed to all that pressure & just taken the damned sh0t. So very glad we didn't do it.

Good shop day today. Got all the underhood sheet metal on the Zip Van painted with rust-converting primer, least wise as much as I could reach with a long-handled paint brush. Replaced a fuel hose on the riding mower, and managed to get a fair swack of mowing done without it stalling out, as it had done yesterday.
Returned to the Zip Van, and removed the steering column jacket, which contains the shift linkage and turn signal switch. Managed to get that all sorted out, and painted, and it is back in the vehicle, not yet clamped in place, though. Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at May 26, 2025 12:09 AM (+MZTO) 243

At the beginning, my friend was also convinced about the need for the clot shot. She researched the 'best' version for me, Moderna or J &J, considering my health conditions. For a while she didn't believe I didn't want it but then she turned.

Honestly, as much as she hated the job and, probably, half the country, I think she did a decent job holding her feelings in as First Lady.
I'm not here to defend her, but I bet she detested half the people she had to interact with, and I don't think it was obvious in the moment. I'll acknowledge that it had to have been hard for her, and give her credit for acting like a grown up. Her husband seldom hid his disdain.

At home, Mom was quite adamant about no peeing in the yard. I may have Hillybilly blood, but no Hillbilly urine on the suburban lawn. One of the adbantages of youth: You can hold it for hours. Now? Not so much. For a long time I didn't pee during early grade school hours, privacy being a part of it. Like I said, not until around 9 or 10 was I comfortable peeing in a little boys' room.

*un-pops collar of pink Izod polo shirt*
Posted by: Miklos ----------- You just reminded me of something funny what happened prolly 30 years ago. Late BF was a very... shall we say, macho?... man. And colorblind. Pastels were "beige" to him. I had a few men's shirts in my personal collection & one day he borrowed one, to wear to class (college after age 40, vocational rehab, as his disability prevented continuing in construction trade) Anyway, he'd chosen to borrow a light pink shirt, thinking it was actually white. LOL! Should've seen his face when I asked him why he grabbed one of mine? And did he realize it was PINK? (no!) Ahhh, such a dude he was. Hahaha. RIP, D.

Posted by: JQ at May 26, 2025 01:47 AM (rdVOm) I found out in high school I have a pastel color blindness; one of those circle dot tests in an official setting. The person doing my testing asked me at one point if, being a teenager, I was fooling around. I told her no, I was being honest in my answers. She told me I failed 6 out of 10. To this day, I hate wearing cream shirts. Give me white , please. Or a nice solid color like blue, or a candy stripe red or green. Anything that's easy to discern.

Parallel parking is a mechanical thing that can be mastered.
You have to know the specific car you are driving and do trial and error until you've got your mark down. The markers are the rear bumper of the front car and the spot on your car that aligns with other car's bumper. Those are your marks. When you've learned where the mark is on your car; you line them up and cut your wheel. It takes practice to know how much and when but after you've accomplished it you own it.

I lived in the Caribbean. We lived pastels. We see it all. We got the X and the Y. What we choose to acknowledge is something entirely different. Women aren't nearly the mystery they think they are.

One time I was out with a subordinate in Hoboken; he was driving a mini SUV type car, something I've never driven. Parking was a real bitch and we found a space after a long time circling around. He goes to parallel park and can't quite get it. After what seemed an interminable amount of attempts, I told him, get out of the car, I'll do it. He gets out and watches from the sidelines. I whipped it into the spot, easy-peasy. He knew I didn't have a car so he asked me how I did that? I told him I learned how to park a car. Some people can parallel park, some people can't. Just like being a co-pilot in a car and reading a map: Some people can read a map, some people can't.

My sister had a couple of Persian kittuhs. Siblings, same litter. They lived a long time. When Casper died, he was blind and had kidney failure. His heart gave out though. Sister heard a loud, odd noise from Casper. Went to check, he was dead. Sophie was near by, checked on him, freaked out, and hid under the bed. Poor Sophie was traumatized. She would walk around and look at all the Casper spots in the house. Did that for about a month. Sophie lived till she was 18. Persians can live for a while. Casper was around 16.

I had him in my arms when the euthenization occurred. The vet pointed out to me, as he was passing the other cats. They were arrayed around him, facing outward. She said they were guarding him, as he went to the next realm, or something like that. I believe they do live on, as beings worthy of an afterlife. This cat was my son's favorite.

The British Embassy refused any regard or respect for them, because Evil Bad White South Africans c.1986.
Posted by: Miklos, un-happy then and now at May 26, 2025 03:33 AM (K6h4I) One time while Saturday Night Live in college, late '70s, they had some black singer on. Don't remember anything except he might have been South African. He sang some sort of anti-apartheid protest song of which I only remember the refrain: "Have you heard the word? Johannesburg." The anti-apartheid propaganda was strong back then. White crosses lining a highway? Nothing to see here, move along. Johannesburg now, like much of South Africa, is a shithole.

411 Poste That would be so meaningful, Farmer. I hope you can find his burial spot. Miklos, that is awful. That sort of thing upsets me no end. And now I must go hug all the cats, even The Naughties.

First time I've been good and drunk in decades.
My cat died today. I've mentioned before, he was struggling, but I thought he was rallying. Apparently not. Fuck it. Posted by: BurtTC at May 26, 2025 01:49 So very sorry to hear that Burt. Just think about how you gave him love and a home, made his life better. and he in return made your life better. Posted by: Farmer, with his own historical take at May 26, 2025 03:56 AM (55Qr6) 421
Karl Marx U faculty were utterly anti-Marxist. A few decades living under an actual Peoples Republic will do that. Posted by: Miklos, un-Marxist ================ Frickin' fascinating. I wish we had more immigrants from there. Posted by: Blonde Morticia at May 26, 2025 04:00 AM (n7rxJ) 422

Parallel parking - there’s a twist
Power steering. Before that came along, forget it. I had my ‘64 Ford all spiffied up nice. It drove like a dream, tracked straight and turned easy. But inherent to that, str with manual steering, the vehicle needs to be moving. Turning the wheels when stopped, you better have ate your Wheaties. I “could” parallel park it, but I made sure I never had to. It was a real nice truck, and the nice thing about manual steering was going down gravel or dirt roads. Quiet. No PS whine, and it steered as light as a feather. I loved that truck. Posted by: Common Tater at May 26, 2025 04:18 AM (CmJfJ) 424

"Memorial Day is always somber for me, which suited our soggy weather. 9 inches in the last 30 hours, on top of 15 inches week before last. Am postponing graveyard visits til we dry out some, but there were lots of ceremonies around here. One feels so incredibly grateful, and humbled, as well.
I'm told the little Yankee soldier's grave was attended to, as per our rural custom. We are several hours from any battle site, and no one knows how he got here, but we fuss over his grave, and make sure it looks nice, because he was somebody's son, and that's how Southern folk do. God rest his soul." Thank you Tammy. I've lost faith in the people I thought I was fighting for. I need it restored. This helps. Posted by: Fen at May 26, 2025 04:31 AM (ciYHQ) 427
