Sunday Overnight Open Thread - May 10, 2026 [Doof]

HH3k3bybsAArVpZ.jpg
From Earthglory

Howdy Hordelings! Welcome to the Sunday night ONT. A whelming place to end your weekend. Open thread, as always. Fashion and music, as always. What's on YOUR mind tonight?

***


I pity the fool that doesn't treat mother right!


-----

What's your guess as to why this woman did what she did?

28-Year-Old Woman Impersonates 16-Year-Old High School Student at New York High School for Weeks

A 28-year-old New York woman was arrested at a school campus in the Bronx and charged with endangering the welfare of a child, trespassing, and criminal impersonation after enrolling at the school as a 16-year-old girl, under a fake name.

Last month, Kacy Claassen enrolled at the Westchester Square Academy as Shamara Rashad, born in 2010, who had just moved to New York from Ohio with her sister. She attended classes for about two weeks and was even issued a school ID with her fake name and age, but then someone discovered her social media profiles.

***

One of the woman’s social media pages listed her birth date as July 29, 1997, and one photo showed her holding a baby girl. In one of her posts she admits that she has a beautiful daughter.


OK, have you made your guess yet?

Repeatedly confronted about her identity, the 28-year-old admitted that she had lied, claiming that a friend had advised her to enroll so she would qualify for more social assistance.

Police believe that Kacy Claassen was trying to cash in on some sort of benefits scheme, but they didn’t go into details.

Ridiculous, yes. Unbelievable, no.

Socialism sucks. And it breeds behavior like this.

My fellow golf nuts will understand


This too (language warning)


-----

Husband pranks his wife frequently.

Might be staged. Maybe not. You decide.

This seems too easy, but also incredibly smart

2026 Wedding Dress Trends: From the Bride’s Dream Gown to Mother-of-the-Bride Elegance and Guest Glam

Wedding season 2026 is here, and the runways have spoken: bridal fashion is celebrating sculptural romance, refined luxury, and joyful self-expression. Gone are the days of rigid rules or predictable silhouettes. Instead, designers are blending vintage-inspired details with modern tailoring, luxurious textures, and unexpected pops of personality. Whether you’re the bride saying “I do,” the mother of the bride shining in the front row, or a guest ready to celebrate in style, there’s a trend for every role.

Bridal Gown Trends: Sculptural Drama Meets Ethereal Romance

Brides in 2026 are leaning into gowns that feel like wearable art. Sculptural draping is everywhere—think artful folds, structured pleats, and fabric that cascades with intentional drama rather than fluff. Paired with this is the rise of basque waists (a hybrid of the classic drop waist and structured corsetry), creating a flattering, elongated torso that feels both vintage and fresh.

Lace is having a major moment, but not the flat, traditional kind. Expect elevated lace with 3D florals, corded textures, and shimmering threads that catch the light. Sheer layers, delicate embroidery, and satin shines add dimension, while minimalist brides are loving sleek crepe or silk faille with impeccable tailoring.

Other standout details include:
• Statement necklines and sleeves — Cat-eye shapes, halter styles, and dramatic off-the-shoulder or long, flowing sleeves.
• Corsetry and bows — Exposed boning, front bows, and micro embellishments for a touch of whimsy.
• Subtle shimmer and texture — Sequins, metallic threads, and ethereal tulle for that red-carpet glow without going overboard.

Two-piece separates and bridal midis are also gaining traction for modern, fashion-forward brides who want versatility. These trends offer something for every body type and wedding vibe—from garden romantics to black-tie ballrooms.

Mother of the Bride (and Groom) Trends: Sophisticated, Comfortable, and Photogenic

Mothers are done with “frumpy” expectations. In 2026, MOB and MOG dresses are all about timeless elegance with modern flair. Think polished silhouettes that flatter real bodies—column shapes, refined A-lines, and flowing chiffon that moves beautifully for dancing and photos.
Key trends include:
• Luxurious, wearable fabrics — Crepe, mikado, organza, and chiffon with subtle sheen and texture.
• Elegant details — Halter necklines, one-shoulder styles, capes, ruffles, soft sleeves, and focused embellishments like beads or sequins (never overwhelming).
• Color palettes — Soft neutrals (champagne, taupe, dove gray), muted pastels (sage, dusty blue, blush), rich jewel tones (emerald, sapphire, plum), and even navy or black when styled elegantly. Metallics and soft shimmer add glamour.

IMG_1759-rr.jpg

Pant suits and chic midis are also popular for mothers who want comfort without sacrificing style. The goal? A look that feels regal, confident, and perfectly coordinated with the wedding’s aesthetic.

Wedding Guest Trends: Expressive, Elevated, and Fun

Guests in 2026 are embracing more-is-more while staying respectful of the couple’s vision.
Standout trends:
• Icy pink and soft pastels — The pastel of the season, perfect for spring and summer weddings.
• Bold prints and florals — Fawn (deer-inspired) motifs, vibrant jacquards, and flowy florals that photograph beautifully.
• Dramatic silhouettes — Drop-waist dresses, capes, statement sleeves, asymmetrical hems, and fluid maxis or jumpsuits.
• Texture and shine — Satin slips, ethereal chiffon, beading, and elevated details that feel special but wearable.

Seasonal color palettes are helping guests coordinate effortlessly: butter yellow and lavender for spring; cobalt blue and fuchsia for summer. Neutrals and metallics work year-round, and expressive prints let personalities shine.

IMG_1758-rr.jpg

Final Tips for 2026 Wedding Style
• Coordinate thoughtfully — Brides, share your color palette and vibe with your moms and closest guests. Subtle coordination looks intentional, not matchy-matchy.
• Prioritize comfort — All-day events mean movement is key. Test your outfit for dancing, sitting, and photos.
• Personalize it — The best looks feel like you—whether that’s a sleek minimalist gown, a beaded cape, or a bold floral maxi.

2026 weddings are all about celebrating love in style that feels fresh, flattering, and full of joy. Whether you’re walking down the aisle, dabbing tears in the front row, or raising a glass on the dance floor, these trends ensure everyone looks and feels their absolute best.

36 Indeed Happy Mother’s Day

Been to Montana twice, chasing elk in the mountains just east of Missoula. Buddy and I were hiking 12-26 miles a day - 35 lb pack, 11-12 lb rifle and a substantial handgun. Camped on the river where A River Runs Through It was supposedly shot. Local ranchers told us that we were the talk of the town - they couldn’t believe that we could do that sort of thing. “We thought everybody from back East was soft…”. Great place. Love to go back again sometime

59 Bridal Gown Trends: Sculptural Drama Meets Ethereal Romance

After all the purple prose, I was expecting a disaster in the pictures. But they were mostly okay.

I wonder about the woman on the bottom-left of the second jpg..... that is a bridal gown, with some lace in the middle, right? Not a separate skirt and top showing off her midriff? Cuz that would be tacky.

And the woman in the 2nd row on the right in the 3rd jpg..... she needs to pull her dress up a bit. Cleavage is acceptable in a wedding dress. Sideboob is for the bridesmaids.

70 People can wear what they want to, I don't care. I'm no fashion expert by any means. But some of those gowns are ridiculous. When a bow on a dress is as big as a door I think that's pushing it too far. The focus is supposed to be on the bride. But whatever.

89 My wedding dress was made in Kuwait - twice. The first dress was burned up when the owner of the building was angry the dressmakers didn't pay the higher rate of rent he wanted, and torched their shop. I had to get more fabric and find a new dressmaker two weeks before I left for the States for the wedding. God bless the atelier who agreed - he made the dresses for all the Kuwaiti royalty and did it as a favor to the embassy. He finished it in three days since it was simple compared to the elaborate things he normally made. Needless to say, it was beautiful!

From the content: I figured the would-be-HSer was just stalking some poolboy love-interest.

Wedding content: The bridal dresses are all lovely. The mother-dresses are mostly fine but that purple-pink number looks like a bathrobe, opening in front like that - gauche! Lots of people in those pictures need to eat a sandwich, or some pizza.

We're expecting rain again tomorrow, but not until midday, so I'll be able to work out around dawn. Later this week I have to call the IRS. They sent me a letter saying they can't send me my refund because I didn't provide a bank account. But I told them on the form to apply the money to my 2026 taxes. I guess they're not used to someone doing that, despite the line on the 1040 form specifically for that. I need to talk to somebody.

Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh at May 10, 2026 11:04 PM (HdYcL)

174 I’m reading a couple different books about the Cold War and Espionage and they delve into the early years of the Commies. I knew they were bad news, but Jeeze Louise. They had a few different flavors and offshoots, and were always fighting each other and killing each other off. No dissent allowed.

That’s why Trotsky ended up in Turkey, and then Norway, and then Mexico. They murdered his family, and eventually got him, too. He was invited to testify before the congressional Dies committee, but that didn’t happen.

There was much confusion over the years with the party faithful, because, again no dissent was allowed. When the Nazis and Communists agreed to carve up Poland, they signed the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, which was quite a lot to swallow.

They immediately went into a propaganda spin where they were “antiwar” and demanded that the US stay out of any talk about war or supporting Great Britain by supplying arms. They did a 180 overnight.

I don't know internal Labour party rules. Usually, in most parties in a Westminster System Parliament, there is some threshhold number of party MP's have to meet to trigger a leadership review. If the Party holds a leadership review, and Starmer is voted out, he ceases to be PM, but retains his Commons seat.

238 On this date in 1967, Marvin Young was born. Going by the stage name Young M.C., he is best known for the hit song "Bust A Move" featuring Flea (the bassist of Red Hot Chili Peppers), off his debut album Stone Cold Rhymin' (1989).

After "Heatseeker" charted in 2002 (off his sixth studio album Engage The Enzyme), he did not chart again for over two decades, until "Fun Part" was released as a non-album single in 2024(!!!). So, yeah, he's still around and making music, looks like he's even experimenting with adding AI elements -- and at his age! I had no idea until I looked into it for his birthday.

To be clear: even more than his earlier crossover hits, "Fun Part" is solidly in the rhythm music genre, which I like -- kind of tranced out there for a bit -- but some don't. You'll know which camp you're in.

rhomboid,

This is a survey they do in the off years from the census.

Our address was "selected " and they want to come here for the initial "interview " then once a month for four months after.

Last year we managed to avoid them and thought we were done with them.

Noooooo,they are back.

They want to know all about our finances.

Hubby is hilarious. He said everything is online, so fuck them.

They are so sneaky. They ring the doorbell and we don't answer. They then stick some shit flyer in the screen door frame and then park down the street to see if we get the flyer off the door.

274 Ghost in the Shell lesbianism..... maybe they should catch the other anime or the original manga, and not think the live-action movie was canon.

The ScarJo movie is the only one where the Major gets her artificial body as an adult. In the original story, the Major has been a full-body cyborg since she was a young child. That's why she's better at it than everyone else; she grew up with it.

At one point Batou asks her why she insists on staying in a female "chassis" since a bigger male one would be better for combat.....

Anything/everything else is just dumb kicking the can down the road, criminal actually, considering the "taboos" have finally been broken* and direct action is "normal".

The decision not to end Chinese education visas and end most professional visas to STEM types was the biggest thing we could possibly due for them, and that was done already, for nothing in return.

302 Islam in Russia (and in the USSR) was a consequence of expansion and empire, not immigration (though that's happening to some extent now).

But Islam in the autonomous regions, of which the USSR/Russia has many, is the denatured and definitely de-politicized version shaped by decades of Soviet infiltration and vivid hints such as mass murder and deportation by Stalin. Ditto in the former republics, where the local oligarchs running things have no more patience for political Islam than Moscow.

Chechnya's a special case. Obviously salafism and jihadism took root there following the Soviet collapse (and to some extent next door in Dagestan). But Russia dealt with it in their typically gentle and sophisticated manner, and for a long time the best Chechen jihadis are outside the country afflicting the rest of us (by far the best of the jihadi crop).

Don't know directly, but pretty sure a political sermon in a mosque in Tashkent or Baku or Ashkabat would have consequences for the speaker.

316 When drought comes you need that well water for irrigation. That’s the way it is in West Texas. Trying to make a crop without it is a gamble you often lose. That’s why you buy crop insurance. You might even get instead of rain and lose your crop that way!

I learn crap every day with this stuff, stuff I should've have known, but didn't. I always took conjunction to mean some subjective sense of "very close together".

Well, turns out that a conjunction is defined precisely as when two objects are at the same right ascension *or* ecliptic longitude. Which one depends on which is important, which gets complicated, but for planets it's generally RA. The two moments will be very close for planets close to the ecliptic anyway.

Now, the moment when two objects reach their closet approach, the minimum angular separation in the sky is called an "appulse", and those moments will be different.

I put up with the frat-boy attitude for a long time, because he honestly broke a lot of news. Then he started short-farming, which was basically stealing clips, and adding to that the clickbait titles on videos that never panned out... and I was on my way out the door. But then I saw a clip where he was drunkenly streaming at a Renaissance Fair, and commenting on the rear end of a 10-year-old girl. As I told Pooky, "If someone near you said something like that about Pookette, their body would be PASTE."

Do not, for the love of all that is holy, plant purple fountain grass! Our house on base in Texas had some when we moved in, and it kept growing like crazy during a two-year drought. Its blades are sharp, too, so it would cut our legs as we walked down the sidewalk if we didn't trim it for a month.

335 For reasons not worth going into, MiladyJo and I married by "common law," which in Oklahoma at the time meant holding oneself (bothself) forth as married. Which from that date forward, we did and have.

This was disturbing to my good Catholic mother-in-law.

The first time she came to Oklahoma to visit, she met my mother. And that's when she came to understand, that is not how most people get married, even in Oklahoma.

I miss them both so much.

This concludes our Mothers Day broadcast day.

Origa. (The Japanese transliteration of "Olga.")

The first song was trilingual: Russian, English, and Latin. For a Japanese TV series.

Origa passed at the age of 44. Heart failure or lung cancer, depending on who you ask.

On the one hand, they epitomized or even incarnated the LA sleaze of the era. On the other hand, the video for "Girls, Girls, Girls" has an uncensored version. Wait, is that the same hand?

As a man, my love language is problem-solving. Putting the things that you have said together, it may be that his gut biome is horribly out of whack, to the point that yeast or even fungus are taking root.

When I was in college in Texas, I read in the paper (back when people did that) how the state spent millions of dollars creating fire ant habitat. They didn't mean to; in fact, it was a pilot program on eradicating them, but the pesticide they sprayed hit other ants harder. The fire ants bounced back faster, and with their natural competitors out of commission, took over even more.

With an autoimmune disorder, I imagine that he has needed antibiotics more than once. That can kill off the natural symbiotic bacteria in our gut, creating available habitat for inimical microorganisms to take over like the fire ants in Texas. One thing they can do is a "poop transplant", taking a specimen from a young and healthy man, treating it (but not too much -- the microorganisms are the point), and putting it up the exit.

Of course I'm not even *a* doctor, let alone his. I hope this framework for understanding is comforting.

Posted by: pookysgirl always knows when to yell JAGER!


"Decorative English." And they seem to always pick words that transliterate strangely, like "love." Which is great word to put in a song, but it's tough to say when your language has neither an L or a V sound, nor that vowel sound, nor the ability to end a word on a consonant other than "n."

So "love" winds up sounding like "rah-boo."

And that "end a word on an 'n'" thing? That's technically it's own syllable, though it gets glued to the previous syllable in spoken Japanese.

But not always in sung Japanese.

https://youtu.be/ve2fl21qSIg?t=128

"Gyakuten no CHANCE"..... pronounced as three syllables: chah-n-soo.

Going back to where this topic started..... that's why Youtube's AI can't figure out what language it is when Japanese people sing in English.
