Tuesday Overnight Open Thread - June 24, 2025 [scampydog]
Good evening and thank you for checking in on the Tuesday, ONT. Summer is here - funny tan lines, green grass, grilling, lemonade, and warm nights. Open thread - abstract concepts, cautionary tales, and a verbal shiv or two are encouraged.
What are you getting rid of? pic.twitter.com/aeXmVVDVae

Long Lines Building. Known today simply by its address, 33 Thomas Street. I was today years old when I discovered this 45-story, windowless, brutalistic building.
Computers at Titanpointe have monitored international phone calls, faxes and voice calls routed over the internet, and more, hoovering up data from the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and U.S. allies including France, Germany, and Japan. 6 33 Thomas Street, it turns out, is exactly what it looks like: an apocalypse-proof above-ground bunker intended not only to symbolize but to guarantee national security. For those overseeing fortress operations at the time of construction, objects of fear were nuclear-armed Communists abroad and a restive youth population at home, who couldn't be trusted to obey the diktats of a culture that had raised up some in previously inconceivable affluence; an affluence built on the exploitation and disenfranchisement of people near and far. By the time the NSA took over, targets were likely to be insurgents rejecting liberal democracy and American hegemony, from Islamic fundamentalists to world-market competitors in China, alongside a smattering of Black Lives Matter activists. For those outside the fortress, in the Nixon era as in the present, the fearful issue was an entrenched and unaccountable fusion of corporate and governmental capability, a power that flipped the switches connecting the world. At the same time, popular culture had begun, in the 1970s, to register a paranoia that has only intensified - the fear that people no longer call the shots. In its monumental implacability, Titanpointe seems to herald a posthuman regime, run by algorithm for the sole purpose of perpetuating its own system. It is, in other words, a building tailor made for spy movies.
Got a quote you like - even if it came from someone you don't particularly care for?
"People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, make them." George Bernard Shaw
ONT Intermission Historical happenings in June.
*** June: Hetero Month at the Old State Saloon! Year two edition. Give 'em a visit if going through town.Some people don't want to be saved

Throughout June, Old State Saloon will offer a lineup of special drinks celebrating heterosexuality, including the Brojito, Baby Maker Mimosa, Tetten Russian, and Alpha Mule. The month will feature themed days to keep the party going: Mondays: Beers for Breeders - Any heterosexual male dressed like a heterosexual male receives a free draft beer. Tetten Tuesdays - Ladies buy one drink, get one free. Duo Deal Wednesdays - Heterosexual couples enjoy 15% off their bill. Special events include Hetero Merch Parties with exclusive discounts, a June 7th International Procreation Day Celebration, and a June 14th President Trump Huuuge Heterosexual Birthday Party. The saloon will host internet influencers, sports personalities, and media figures throughout the month, with more details to be announced.
The SWAT is played every Wednesday, Friday, weekends and holidays. Oakmont Country Club has a detailed record of every SWAT game dating back to 1955. Those records are handwritten after each match and stored in the men's SWAT Room. Each year has its own SWAT book, which is stored in a case in the SWAT room. The members arrive and are given their teams, they go out and play and then return to the SWAT room to commiserate and record the day's game.

Ruderman's purchase was supposed to be blueprint copies related to the statue's construction. But little did he know that the folder would also contain never-before-seen original sketches of the statue's construction, revealing late changes that had been made to its structural design.

This ONT is brought to you by: The A-10 Pilots Coloring Book. Best link I clicked on all week.
Just like many tanks of the era, the rear of the T-62 is one of its most vulnerable spots, from many, many angles and ranges. Despite including an anal sex reference, this Air Force instruction manual is really helpful in determining just where the best place to hit the main battle tank is. Even if the GAU-8 can't penetrate the crew through the back door, it can still hit the engine and drive gear, shutting down the tank's advance.

Yeah, I know that it's only the primary, but with Mamdani winning the Democratic nomination, he is the odds-on favorite to win the general election.
And Mamdani is winning because "educated" New Yorkers are heavily voting for him.
If there was ever an argument to eliminate subsidies to higher education, this is it.

I like it,
But Orwell and Huxley are both correct on certain aspects.
Orwell was right about changing language for political purposes, cancel culture, surveillance, distorting/rewriting history, pervasive propaganda and Two Minutes Hate.
Huxley was right about distracting entertainment, cultural debauchery, drugs (legal & illegal), technocracy, regimented classes/sexes, and becoming a slave to system based on rewarding pleasure and minimizing pain.
I’ve thought for a long time that we’re living through the formation of a combination of their visions of dystopia.

The best synopsis of Orwell v. Huxley I've ever seen was in a random internet comment years ago. It may have been here, I don't remember, but the comment stuck with me.
"Orwell was afraid of a world where books would be banned. Huxley was afraid of a world where books didn't need to be banned, because nobody would want to read them anyway."

Cool history of the barn!
My 17-year-old daughter and I were talking today about how our interests can change over the years. I was never much interested in history when I was her age, but now find it quite enjoyable to read, for example, the back story of various things and people.
History certainly doesn't have to be dry! It just seemed so in my school days. I'm glad to have found more "living books" and articles in my adult years that have brought history alive.

Yeah, now that I think about that Hispanic gay bar down the block (which used to be a white bar). That just tells you the changes in demographics in the neighborhood. Originally, way back in the late 60sw/early '70s, the neighborhood was the first 'garden apartment' neighborhood and was considered one of the first 'gay' neighborhoods. Back then it was German/Jewish/Irish and, being a short commute to the City, popular with the Manhattan working crowd, too. Now it's pick a Central/South American country. This was the first year I don't remember any official Hispanic country parades in my neighborhood as in past summers, like the Ecuadorian one or the Bolivian one; we didn't have just Mexicans.

Why did Ulysses kill the Cyclops?
Because they didn't see eye to eye.

OMG that brings back memories. Anyone ever play the card game pitch?
In our younger days we'd play pitch on the plane, across the aisle w/ another couple we vacationed with. Well for some reason we had a few drinks before this one flight.
Nance thought she really caught someone and loudly announced to all around us...you renegerrer! And we quickly made that our last game on that flight.

Oh the joys this city's about to experience. Just can't wait for him to follow through on his campaign promise to take cops out of high crime neighborhoods. Said it before, this Destructoid is going to kill this City. Crime, already high, is about to go through the roof.

A vehicle carrier transporting hundreds of Chinese electric vehicles (EV) sank in the Pacific Ocean after catching fire, fueling renewed concerns about the hazard associated with EV batteries, The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday.
The Morning Midas was carrying approximately 3,000 cars, including around 800 EVs, most of which were manufactured in China, according to the WSJ. While the exact cause of the fire is still under investigation, lithium-ion batteries used in many EVs are known to be highly flammable, and have been linked to similar maritime incidents in the past.
The ship had been drifting in the ocean after a fire broke out on June 3, prompting the crew to abandon the vessel. At the time of the incident, the vessel was en route to Mexico.

70s era crime was mostly small scale and independent. Osama Bin Lenin is about to open the city coffers to the elites of NYC's organized crime scene.
And this isn't because he's some naive fool that doesn't know what will happen...he knows exactly what he is doing.
So honestly this is going to be more like one of those Superfriends episodes where the criminal element takes over Gotham then anything from the 70s. Only it will be real. And spectacular.

It’s not much of a secret. All of the BLM riots in the northeast (at least) were funded by tech billionaire Neville Roy Singham, husband of the founder of Code Pink, and who used to live in New York but now has set up residence in Shanghai, under Xi’s protection.
All of his money has always been sourced from China, and no doubt that’s who was “encouraging” him to push the BLM chaos hard.

Didn't move here 'til the early '80s. Visited while in college during Thanksgiving week in '75. Not for the parade but a dormmate lived on 10 St. just off 5th Ave.; he helped pay for gas/tolls. Had a free room for the weekend and then off to Yonkers. That's another story. The second time in '79. Looking back, the thing I remember about that '75 visit is that is looked like every cop tv show/movie. 'The French Connection' was only a few years old. 'Death Wish' was a hit; I was here for the real version, Bernie Goetz shooting those 4 on the subway in '84. TBH, it only got better with Giuliani, although in restrospect Koch was a decent mayor, too. Only with Bloomberg did the mayoral decline begin. Then came Big Bird. Adams was a clown at first but switched up on the illegal issue because he knew the City is going broke. Then the DOJ started investigating him. He's a helluva lot better than ObL.
But between Adams, Cuomo and Sliwa, the sane vote is split three ways. That's a guaranteed loser for all three -- and the City -- in the General.

Well I think it's nice that the three centrist NY voters get their very own candidate. Frankly, if they all met at the Duane Reade, they barely fill the antacid aisle.
The real reason why Blue cities elect the worst candidate is the abysmal voter turnout. IIRC, less than 10% of eligible voters showed up when Karen Bass became Los Angeles's latest nightmare mayor. The problem isn't ones participating in the process...

"But why does little Staten Island get the same vote as enormous Brooklyn," they cried, and they got an imperial mayor for their troubles. And they loved it when that mayor was a Giuliani.
Enjoy it now, New York. You beat the brakes off a rugged old system in favor of the will of the people. And now you'll get the will of the people good and hard.

So...perhaps 1/2 to 1/3 of the general election voters voted in the mayor race? I guess the rest took Althouse's advice and didn't vote because it was too hot.

AOC won the Democrat primary in '18, upsetting Pelosi's # 2 Joe Crowley. That was a BIG deal. She won with 57%-42% but with only 16,900 to 12,900 actual votes. That's peanuts for a Congressional district in a very blue city. Each CD representsa about 761,000 people (not necessarily all voters), But still. Nobody votes in the primaries. I don't know why. Same goes for any off-year election. Our mayoral is this year, '25. The gubernatorial election is next year, another off year election. And by off year, I mean a presidential election. Even the off year Congressional elections get less vote numbers. When only mayoral elections are on the ballot, they get even fewer voters. I believe by design. The Dems plan on apathy. And they'd be right.

And everyone keeps dancing around the topic of regime change, but here are two uncomfortable but unavoidable truths:
1) the threat from Iran will never be gone until a new government replaces this one, and
2) regime change can only come about internally, by the Iranian people. Either they choose to do it on their own, or it will not happen. No outsider can do what it would take to impose it.

It's like Trump bombed Germany's Berlin and left Hitler to come out of the Bunker and start anew.
Unlike Germans, even Nazi ones, Shiite Muslims are happy to be martyred and take millions of infidels, of both the small and big Satan variety, with them. And if it takes more primitive devices that can be slapped together in less time and carried in backpacks, so be it.
You know whom you're dealing with. Trump hasn't thought this trough. Or he doesn't (yet) comprehend what Islam is.

I agree with this, 100 percent, but I must also say that Gaza should have been a 500 foot deep, smoking crater by October 14th, 2023. Atlas's collapse became more inevitable the longer Gaza and every person in it remained standing.
Jews/Israelis are too kind, decent, compassionate. Their stance on hostages needs adjusting. As tragic as it would have been, 300 or so hostages in exchange for the complete annihilation of Gaza, the West Bank and the Hamas filth would have been worth it, in my opinion.

The account posts lots of photos, but all of the cats are in a purpose built zoo setting; a very humane and interesting looking zoo.

"Kapu" is not a usual Hungarian name. It means door, or gate
Never heard of anybody by that name

Well, I guess all of those educated AWFLs are about to find out just how wonderful life under Sharia Law is for women.
Oh, who am I kidding? They will just move away, leaving all of the poor schlubs who can't afford to move to suffer the consequences of the educated class's stupidity.
Then again, someone might decide to "take care" of the problem like they do in Mexico and other Central and South American countries.
Interesting times we live in....

Israeli leadership had already, more than once, said they were achieving most of their original objectives, and faster/more effectively than anticipated. And regime change of course was never on the menu - being beyond Israel's capacity. And if ever I would guess there was a need for an operational pause, this would be it. The nature and tempo of IAF operations was amazing - but thereby probably unsustainable.
Anyway those are all the practical possible considerations. The gist of that linked article is just common sense, but common sense that is resisted or missed by most. IDF chief Zamir's war summary stressed how unfinished the job was. Reality is possibly worse of course - the job could grow even bigger. Here's to hoping the Iranian regime dissolves.

Neither Trump nor Netanyahu should never say what they don't mean.
Ayatollah and Mullahs needed to be vaporized. Utilities and energy industries destroyed. Continued targeting of missiles, launchers and military targets.
All the while offering unconditional surrender terms dictated solely by the US and/or Israel.
And I'm worried about the contradictory reports of what Iran still has or doesn't. And I'm not paying attention to the NYT or CNN.

Delete the near universal urge within folks to stick their noses into business that is not their own.

"Madani will be elected and NYC become a shariah hellhole" ( People don't think it's a possibility that someone else might win in the general election or that money won't be put up for whoever is running against him ,or that his negatives will be emphasized in the General Election
The entire East Coast will become a jihadi run

Iran has the ability to rebuild its nuclear facilities in two months? Don't you think that might be propaganda from CNN?
Almost in life is a charlatan except for them
Why do people want to live with such extreme negative thinking?
Good grief! Work towards the positives, enjoy the

Yes, you need to go to Lancaster Skip because you have a great talent in doing these miniatures and you enjoy it and so do the people who see them?
