Cicada "John Doe" (2008-2025) in Mashpee, MA
Aftermath of cicadas laying eggs in tree branches
As luck would have it for you ONT readers, "the algorithm" fed this article to me recently. I think it's KEWL! 47 Million Years Old: Oldest True Cicada Unearthed in Europe
For the first time, a fossilized true cicada has been identified from the Messel Pit deposits. Eoplatypleura messelensis is among the oldest known representatives of modern true cicadas in Eurasia and marks the earliest record of the subfamily Cicadinae worldwide. This discovery, made at the UNESCO World Heritage Site near Darmstadt, enhances our understanding of the region’s ancient fauna, fills a significant gap in the cicada fossil record, and sheds light on the evolution and spread of this insect group in Europe during the Cenozoic era. The findings were published today in the journal Scientific Reports. The adult female cicada from the 47-million-year-old oil shale of the Messel Pit is remarkably well preserved, with a body length of about 26.5 millimeters and a wingspan of 68.2 millimeters. “The family of true cicadas (Cicadidae) is one of the most species-rich insect groups today. Nevertheless, there are only very few fossil finds compared to the large number of modern species,” explains Dr. Sonja Wedmann from the Senckenberg Research Institute and Natural History Museum Frankfurt. She adds, “Within this family, the Platypleurini group is particularly striking. It has a wide distribution and includes many species with unique traits. For the first time, we have now described a fossil from this group of cicadas.”Check out the whole thing.

The most quintessential sensations of summer are smelling a grill, relaxing at the beach, and diving into a swimming pool, according to a new survey. The nationally representative poll of 2,000 American grill owners found that time near the water (68%) and pool hangs (68%) top the list of iconic summer ‘feels’—with the scent of cooking over the grill (87%) coming in at number one. *** Asking what they’ve been cooking so far this summer, classics like hamburgers (82%) and hotdogs (73%) are prevalent, but also fancy fare like steaks (74%) and seafood (36%). One- third of respondents said they’re likely to toss literally anything that’s “grillable” on the grill. *** The Fourth of July was the biggest grilling event of the year for 60% of those polled.

You mean you can't think of a single possible other meaning to "blazing" saddles? Like maybe "flaming" was already trademarked somewhere? Look at that logo again and tell me you can't see the "flaming" aspect of this?
If it were the movie, it would be red/blue background (like bandanas), or tan and green (for the desert and the vegetation). I'm guessing "pony parties" is a double meaning, too.
Cynical? Or realist?

At the picnic I attended I knew the politics of attendees in advance. And, almost without fail (there was a single outlier) conservative attendees tend to show up with universal food items that everyone seems to enjoy. No risk. Liberal attendees seems to show up with food items that are a bit unique (as an example...a celery and cranberry casserole) that they, themselves, might enjoy and it never occurs to them that a vast majority of attendees might not.
So, does this left leaning narcissism actually Venn Diagram its way into pot luck food items at picnics. I'd have to say it does based on a single picnic. I have a family reunion coming up, so I'll be keeping tabs there as well. You can't have too much data.

Another afternoon downpour today. Unusual how much precip we've had this Spring and Summer. All the rivers and ponds and ditches are full, and there's big puddles out where the yard doesn't drain well.
Then, just now as the sky began to clear, we were rewarded with a magnificent rainbow, a great arc stretching for miles from one end to the other. Been a long time since we got a rainbow, and this was a good one. Revivifying.

It's not surprising that there wasn't any evidence left, given intervening Democrat administrations and the generally disloyal character of the careerists in the intelligence services/DoJ.

Our fairly conservative church has all kinds of experimental food show up at potlucks. I often show up with something a little unusual - and people ask when I'm going to make it again. Heck, I'm the guy that showed up at a bi-monthly potluck where we would learn about John The Baptist with grasshoppers and honeycomb.
(Yes, a lot of people tried it. Though I wasn't asked to do it again.)
But, even with that, most of the experimental stuff is a variation on standards. Even my fish curry soup.

So of course this atrocity (I would say Babi Yar is an appropriate comparison) sparked a righteous visit by the idiot mayor, and cretin "protesters". Don't think affected results though.
The best part is that every time the idiot local elected officials barf up their ridiculous "outrage" and concern, ICE doubles down and does a bigger op. It's called an escalation ladder. The airhead racists who constitute the "resistance" appear unfamiliar with the concept, as one might expect. Beautiful.

They didn't actually say that. They said there was no evidence in the FBI/DOJ files that there was a client list. Pretty big difference. And maybe he did commit suicide. He was gonna die in prison.
But that's not the real issue. The real issue is that Epstein was a significant intel asset, both of the CIA/State Dept as well as a number of foreign intel agencies. Epstein wasn't a mastermind, he was an asset. An errand boy for grocery clerks kind of thing.
If you are interested in what Epstein really was then spend 10 minutes listening to this. Epstein was far more than a pedo and a pimp.

Time to reflect even more closely, "O God, Who has doomed all men to die but has concealed the hour of their death, let me pass my days in the practice of holiness and justice, and may I deserve to quit this world in the peace of a good conscience and in the embraces of Your love."

Son saw an injured crow on the road and scooped it up. Didn't make it. 🥺 Buried it in our pet cemetery area this afternoon. Not like having a long-time pet die, but, you know, you hoped it could be saved.
And just now, our old black cat Ony brought in a frog… again. At least she has a particular meowerl to alert us to her latest acquisition. Until now, they've been tiny ones, including a tree frog. Some of those she has eaten. Tonight's was a good-size arrow frog. Was moving fast, but the cat kept on him so we could find him. Caught and released, with possible injury. 🐸
Life's like that.

Posted by: Don Black at July 07, 2025 10:57 PM (AOsQT)
It is a Pontiac LeMans. Guessing a 70
'70 or '71. It was the GM A-style, and they all sold a lot of them. Nearly the same body as the Buick Skylark and the Chevy Chevelle (the Malibu was a Chevelle model), they had different grills, taillights, and trim. Also the hoods were cut differently, but not by much. under the hood they were pretty much the same for the most part. Most had that 350 cid V-8, (other engines as well but I think the 350 was the biggest seller) then the brand tweaked the engine to their own specs to make it different.

Or maybe he's coming at it from a different angle.
Trump's job is not just revenge, it's leading this country to a better place. Our deep state has done some pretty shady shit over the years, particularly when looking in the rearview mirror of what isn't a '68 Skylark, I had one, and sometimes airing all of the dirt laundry isn't the best way to go.
As I said, Epstein has been working with our intel community since the days of Iran Contra and there is a lot of water under the bridge on both sides of the aisle. Some scabs are better not picked. It's possible that Trump wants to attack this problem from a different direction as unsatisfying as that might be for us in the short term.
He didn't expose the mountain of dirty shit USAID has done since the Reagan administration, he just defunded it and ended it. Maybe that's what he's decided to do here.
Maybe not. We'll see.

- No, there's more.
- You see when the left tire mark goes up on the curb and the right tire mark stays flat and even?
- Well, the '64 Skylark had a solid rear axle. So when the left tire would go up on the curb, the right tire would tilt out and ride along its edge.
- But that didn't happen here. The tire mark stayed flat and even. This car had an independent rear suspension.
- Now, in the '60s, there were only two other cars made in America that had positraction and independent rear suspension and enough power to make these marks.
- One was the Corvette, which could never be confused with the Buick Skylark.
- The other had the same body length, height, width, weight, wheelbase and wheel track as the '64 Skylark, and that was the 1963 Pontiac Tempest.
Those taillights obviously belong to a '63 Pontiac Tempest! Hollywood is NEVER wrong.

Before I did the boogaloo to New Mexico I paid my favorite cook to make me a grand Mecca Cafe Last Meal - no recipe, just make it. It was great. As part of his tip I ducked out to McHugh's around the corner and got him shots of his favorite whiskey in paper cups which I delivered to the back door of the Mecca. It should be noted I gladly paid tribute to my fav McHugh's bartender for this service.

El Stupido raimondo does not understand the basics of disaster recovery. (Or much of anything else.)
If Cruz held any job that would have facilitated recovery after the Texas big freeze blackout, then he should have stayed in Texas.
Since he did NOT have any such job, then leaving the disaster area actually decreases the demand on scarce resources.
His actions were in no way heroic, but they were at least smart.

Huntington Beach, mid to late 80s. Between the power station and sewage plant, closer to broookhurst than to the pier. I know that whole strand, grew up going there in the summer after work. Best friend lived nearby.

Brennan. That's somewhere to start. That fucker was part of the now infamous '51'. He abused his government security clearance to swing an election. It was in plain site, no friggin' skullduggery. And yet still no arrest.

However all that information could be surmised from the USAID payment registers that Treasury released. It is amazing what can be found from payment registered, if you can track who got what when.

Bride of PI teaches Middle School drama to a socio-economic group of kids that have never been taken to a Shakespeare play by their parents.
Consequently, she has to do a lot of alternatives to the classics.
AOS (about 7-10 days ago?) had a video of a lady that had heavily face-painted one half of her face and then did great "acting" making it look like a full face in the linked video. The makeup was very dark.
I can't remember if that was in the ONT or in the Cafe. Alternatively, if someone knows the correct name for that type of makeup, then I could find more videos using a search engine.
Thanks for any future help.

Posted by: Don Black at July 07, 2025 10:57 PM (AOsQT)
It is a Pontiac LeMans. Guessing a 70
'70 or '71. It was the GM A-style, and they all sold a lot of them. Nearly the same body as the Buick Skylark and the Chevy Chevelle (the Malibu was a Chevelle model), they had different grills, taillights, and trim. Also the hoods were cut differently, but not by much. under the hood they were pretty much the same for the most part. Most had that 350 cid V-8, (other engines as well but I think the 350 was the biggest seller) then the brand tweaked the engine to their own specs to make it different.

There's been some back and forth on whether the courts can issue temporary injunctions on a variety of things President Trump has tried to solve by executive order, but the fact that we're still talking about those suggests the underlying cases still haven't resolved.

Modern motherboards rely on UEFI for securely booting. Grub can be configured to dual boot partitions on two separate hard drives with a boot partition on both but easier to use UEFI to do it. Can't do it using the older protocol but pretty much have to use grub or some other boot loader.
My guess is you have two boot partitions on different drives so the boot order sequence is determining which OS gets loaded.

I am fine with Windows which naturally leads to using Office. About a decade ago, maybe a bit more, Microsoft got the Office Outlook email, calendar, and contacts working seamless across all my devices; it has been rock solid. MSFT is moving away from the office client to a f'd up version of Outlook that is a fancy ass web app. This new version just ain't the same. For now you can still get the proper Outlook client: https://is.gd/3oVO2W

As discussed here earlier today, read the announcement carefully - EPSTEIN didn’t have a list. That doesn’t mean there wasn’t one. I think it’s not only possible, but likely that Epstein was just the front man to give a face to the joint, and that the entire operation was being run by elements of the FBI/CIA along with the Israeli Mossad, and almost certainly British Intelligence as well . (A whole lot of brits involved). Purpose? To obtain backdoor control of most Western Governments. Heck I’d bet that all 5 Eyes were involved to some extent.
And that will also be why everyone gets scared and clams up when they finally find out what was really going on there.

Then the plates should be blue with yellow letters. When I moved here in 1980 my friend who moved at the same time registered his car in Pasadena and got the three letters - three numbers plates, I registered my car in the South Bay and got a plate starting with a '1' and three letters - three numbers. The colors on the plate in the photo came in a few years later.

They've already discovered ~2000 new solar system objects.
Enjoy those, it's your tax dollars at work big time.

Photo's not crystal clear but as I said that plate looks like current series (blue on white, red cursive "California", 1 number six letters) - though it could be a vanity plate too.
I recall historically it was black on yellow, yellow on black, yellow on blue, then a weird one with a sort of sunset thinggy on the bottom, kind of cream-colored plate with letters/numbers whose color I can't recall, then the current one described above. A state with such a massive ownership and turnover of cars goes through a lot of license plate formats.

I wasn't feeling well today anyhow. Too damned hot and I've been fighting some kind of bug for a couple days.
Maybe just stress from fambly issues? Meh. Looking forward to everyone leaving town, so I can get back to the business at hand.

See the Extremely Large Telescope, 39m (130') mirror. That is planned to come online in 2028. They were looking at building the Overwhelmingly Large Telescope, 100m diameter, but that was just going to cost too much.
The complexity of the ELT's mirrors is just mind boggling.

I have been off watching anime with my cat. This is how I spend time with him. I didn’t bring my iPad in with me, so I missed your note about “Night of the Living Cat” (I refuse to use the official title!). I don’t usually watch Japanese horror: it’s just too horrific! This one seems a little tongue in cheek though, so I might give it a try. But I already knew about it, unlike the that movie in the style of “Kite” you tipped me off about. In any case, thank you!

FUN FACT
The Busch family began its beer brewing in America by stealing two names of beer-
Michelob, not produced since Nazis and Commies and WWII, but well known among immigrant communities before WWI
and
Budweis, or Budejovice
Long story about that
