51 The classic black tea was “orange pekoe” iirc. Think Lipton.

Tea is actually a type of medicine or was intended as such. It’s under some study in recent years for interesting bactericidal properties. Tannins, or polyphenols, have interesting properties on gut health, killing off bad critters in our gut biome. Also shows some interesting properties against oral or gum diseases due to bacteria.

Yesterday's yard sale was a success, albeit monetarily not as much so. In the course of its four hours we disposed of many of the non-furniture items (I sold off my pair of snow shoes and on the Delmarva peninsula, no less).

As the rule in effect for our sale was, "Nothing comes back into the house to stay", the next week will see several trips to disperse the remaining items to deserving charities. The missus gas become gratifyingly open to the idea of purging our dwelling of its innumerable cluttering items.

107 The White House released a list of nearly 30 elected officials -- all of them Democrats -- who the Trump administration said incited violence against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents throughout the U.S.

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker were at the top of the list.

Posted by: fd at September 28, 2025 07:50 AM (vFG9F)

108 Gov. Tim Walz smeared ICE as the “modern-day Gestapo.”
Gov. Gavin Newsom likened ICE to “secret police,” calling them “authoritarian” and proclaiming a “right to push back.”
Gov. JB Pritzker claimed the country is becoming “Nazi Germany” because ICE is “grabbing people off the street and disappearing them.”
Rep. Robin Kelly smeared ICE as the “Gestapo” and a “betrayal.”
Rep. Jasmine Crockett compared ICE to “slave patrols.”
Rep. Sylvia Garcia referred to ICE agents as “thugs.”
Rep. Delia Ramirez attacked ICE as “a terror force.”
Rep. Pramila Jayapal called ICE agents “deranged,” accused them of “kidnapping,” and said “resistance” to ICE is “inspiring.”
Rep. Rashida Tlaib said ICE is “terrorizing our communities” and “turning our country into a fascist police state,” and called it a “rogue agency.”
Rep. Ayanna Pressley said ICE is “terrorizing our communities.”
Rep. Max Frost compared ICE operations to “some of the worst horrors and crimes against humanity” in history.
Rep. John Larson said ICE is “the SS” and “the Gestapo.”
Rep. LaMonica McIver incited people to “shut down the city” because “we are at war.”
Rep. Stephen Lynch smeared ICE agents as “the Gestapo” and “nondescript thu

Rep. Ilhan Omar said ICE agents are “vile and beyond cruel,” and that the agency should be abolished.
Rep. Nikki Budzinski called ICE agents “dangerous and reckless.”
Sen. Bernie Sanders asked people to “figure out a way to stop ICE from what they are doing as soon as possible.”
Sen. Elizabeth Warren claimed ICE is “intentionally stok[ing] fear” and “tear[ing] communities apart.”
Rep. Hakeem Jeffries implored people to “fight” the Trump Administration “in the streets” and declared ICE agents “will be unsuccessful” in protecting their identities “no matter what it takes.”
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu compared ICE agents to the neo-Nazi group NSC-131.
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson accused ICE of being “secret police” who are “terrorizing our communities.”
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass spread a disgusting, fabricated hoax that ICE “kidnapped” a woman on her way to work.

123 The claims of Democrat incitement are legit. Going through the legal motions, filing charges against them, the whole deal, would cost them. IMO that would be worth it if the price was high enough to cause them distress.

But they would likely get lots of money in donations for their "defense" and they've all got deep, Congressional money pots to dip into.

I'm about to do something I think I've never done before, which is assert every bit of whatever authority I have as the person who discovered and wrote down the rules of open source.

After ten years of drama and idiocy, lots of people other than me are now willing to say in public that "Codes of Conduct" have been a disaster - a kind of infectious social insanity producing lots of drama and politics and backbiting, and negative useful work.

Here is my advice about codes of conduct:

1. Refuse to have one. If your project has one, delete it. The only actual function they have is as a tool in the hands of shit-stirrers.

2. If you're stuck with having one for bureaucratic reasons, replace it with the following sentence or some close equivalent: "If you are more annoying to work with than your contributions justify, you'll be ejected."

3. Attempts to be more specific and elaborate don't work. They only provide control surfaces for shit-stirrers to manipulate.
