8 "Are there no prisons?" asked Scrooge.
"Plenty of prisons," said the gentleman, laying down the pen again.
"And the Union workhouses?" demanded Scrooge. "Are they still in operation?"
"They are. Still," returned the gentleman, "I wish I could say they were not."
"The Treadmill and the Poor Law are in full vigour, then?" said Scrooge.
"Both very busy, sir."
"Oh! I was afraid, from what you said at first, that something had occurred to stop them in their useful course," said Scrooge. "I am very glad to hear it."
"Under the impression that they scarcely furnish Christian cheer of mind or body to the multitude," returned the gentleman, "a few of us are endeavouring to raise a fund to buy the Poor some meat and drink, and means of warmth. We choose this time, because it is a time, of all others, when Want is keenly felt, and Abundance rejoices. What shall I put you down for?"

"Nothing!" Scrooge replied.

41 25 What work do these women do that requires them to wear those ugly bonnets and frumpy clothes?
Posted by: redridinghood at August 17, 2026

Well to start, they have to be born in the Victorian age. And then they have to be destitute, and living in a home because they can’t afford to live anywhere else. Workhouse conditions were purposefully austere in an attempt to avoid people trying to get there or staying longer than absolutely necessary.

While I enjoy both reading and watching all the versions of A Christmas Carol, I agree.

And I still don't understand the virtue of becoming a spendthrift in your later years as some sort of redemption--you're not going to buy your way into heaven and no matter how vast your fortune, it's a meager pittance to the debt you've incurred.
As if you need the praise of man, seeing your good deeds.
I mean, if it makes you feel better sure, but it's no proxy for true, personal repentance.

Didn't read all of last night's comments and I'm sorry if you took some heat.

168 Chelsea Workhouse: A Bible Reading (Our Poor) 1877
James Charles

Today's selection is a very nicely done painting. (Great detail, lighting, colors, and positive in nature.) Artist James Charles (1851–1906) has/had an excellent body of work.

Reportedly, in the mid-to-late 19th century, French movements shifted the trajectory of British painters away from rigid, moralizing Victorian studio pieces. They abandoned hyper-detailed Pre-Raphaelite precision, and adopted the French approach of square-brush techniques, visible textures, and looser forms.

This stylistic rebellion directly led to the formation of the New English Art Club (NEAC) in 1886. Founded by James Charles, George Clausen, and John Singer Sargent, it served as London's premier showcase for French-influenced modern art. (AI Overview)

Nope, envy. Since about 2000, the EU has been on a downward train while the US, despite Democrats' best efforts, has improved its economy.

Mississippi being wealthier per capita than the average UK citizen is causing massive angst and Italy is below the UK in per capita income.

And you can see the hollowing out of Euroland by the fact they refuse to have kids, fertility has dropped to almost nothing among the native population so the PTB think they can bring in Muzzies and Africans to do the work and replace the native populations.

Posted by: Angzarr the Cromulent

Most people don't want to end up like Kyle Rittenhouse, on trial for murder to killing thugs out to kill him. So until a societal reset occurs that stamps on 'yutes' with really bad consequences for the yutes for this behavior, it is not prudent to draw down unless you have no choice and the most prudent choice is not to be there in the first place.

This anti social behavior has killed malls, killed amusement parks, and killed any festival, etc. that does not have high entry fees, metal detectors, and ample security.

And you can thank social media for assholes acting out and others filming the crap--drones want to be famous even if only for a fleeting moment before they enter the prison system, die from gangbanging, or kill themselves via drugs.

The barbarians are within the gates. Act accordingly.

In One of Bloodiest Months Since Start of War, Putin Loses 43,000 Soldiers on Ukraine Battlefield

Posted by: Anonosaurus Wrecks

Total casualties, possible. Russian doctrine has never given a shit about losses of common soldiers. Attacking fixed fortifications usually bakes into the cake really excessive casualties. That is why doctrine argues that you need 3:1 superiority to launch offensive attacks on fortifications. That is what is going on the Donbass--Ukrainians have extensively fortified that area since 2014.

Putin is trying to complete taking it for some reason, primarily according to at least one tactician, it is because the rugged terrain of that region of the Donbass, once conquered, gives way to plains where Russia would be advantaged and the Ukrainians would not have the prepared defenses.

So throwing away a lot of men from the periphery of the Soviet Empire, many of which probably barely speak Russian but do it for poverty reasons, doesn't threaten regime stability.

He is not drawing the troops from St. Petersburg or Moscow, but basically agrarian peasants from the small villages and cities distant from core.

The Young Turks (host Cenk Uygur plus Kyle Kulinski, and former Bernie Sanders staffers Zack Exley and Saikat Chakrabarti) helped launch Justice Democrats—the political group that recruited and powered Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s 2018 campaign.

Hasan Piker (the PR guy) has been very effective but will be toned down in time for the mid-term elections to protect the number of socialists running around the country and Bernie's hands relatively clean.

Hasan Piker (the PR guy) has been very effective but will be toned down in time for the mid-term elections to protect the number of socialists running around the country and Bernie's hands relatively clean.

I doubt it. He feels emboldened. He has already told those trying to have him calm down to f*ck off. His ego won't allow him to be toned down.

Clancy admitted to killing her children but internet “sleuths” don’t want to believe her.

Social media where each poster tries to one up each other in 'compassion' or 'love' toward shitty evil people is an AWFL phenomenon. It pits the social competitiveness of women trying to top each other like a rancid replay of high society, Hollyweird, or other useless strivings to be top of the hill socially. In this case, social media where anyone can play.

Like the stupid yutes that like to put their own criminality up in video for all to see, too many people want that brief notoriety of fleeting fame before they crash back down to earth.

Gravity always wins in the end.

279 So throwing away a lot of men from the periphery of the Soviet Empire, many of which probably barely speak Russian but do it for poverty reasons, doesn't threaten regime stability.

He is not drawing the troops from St. Petersburg or Moscow, but basically agrarian peasants from the small villages and cities distant from core.

True, but his problem now is that more men are being killed than are voluntarily joining the army. Much of that is due to the extreme levels of corruption, which basically guarantee that if you don't hand over your enlistment bonus to your noncoms and above, you'll be at the head of the next near-suicidal assault. You can't spend a bonus when you're dead.

Rumblings are perhaps he will call for general conscription this fall or that could be a bluff/feint.

Like WWI, the losses that Ukraine and Russia are suffering become a trap for leaders--they are riding a tiger and if they dismount, the tiger may eat them. If you grab more and more power to 'win' the war, you best win it or the public will turn on you in a trice. And wars disrupt the security state inevitably.

304 Borigato's take on Hassan Piker. This is deeply relevant to the blogosphere, so it is worthwhile to take a moment to read and ponder on it\

https://boriquagato.substack.com/p/making-idiots-useful

hasan is not an intellectual. he’s an embarrassment to submidwittery. listen to him speak. he’s actually, legitimately stupid.

but being a leading light is not his role.
piker is a permission giver. he says wild, accusatory, hateful things and brands out-groups as evil.

people follow him not because he's smart, they follow him because he gives them justification to hate while casting it (at least in their own minds) as justice and tolerance. it allows them to view some people as less than human. this belief unlocks permission to act beastly [ . . .] and call it virtue.

his entire product is "feel good about being a bad person, feel good about being a coercive crybully taker instead of a builder or a maker."

he sells license. and a lot of badly adjusted cluster B jerks are lined up out the door to buy.
it's pathology club: external validation for those with externalized identity

it’s catnip for becky from vassar as she moves into the karen stage of her pokemon cycle.
