I saw someone with one of those “patriotic t-shirts” and though of making one of the “Land of the Free Because of the Brave” shirt with pictures of:
Ulysses S. Grant
Susan B. Anthony
Richard Winters (Band of Brothers)
Desmond Doss (The medic Andrew Garfield portrayed in Hacksaw Ridge)
MLK Jr.
There are probably some others to put in, but you get the idea.

Trump’s gang is responding to Jack Smith’s request for a protective order against that orange motherfucker tomorrow, after Trump semi-explicitly called for the death of Gen. Mark Milley. It’s just unbelievable what Trump continues to get away with, even when the whole world has seen what he’s capable of.
He’ll probably get away with this too.

I thought this was pretty remarkable: The Confederate officer for whom Fort Novosel was originally named, Edmund Rucker, was still alive when the new namesake, Vietnam war hero Michael Novosel, was born. Rucker died, age 88, on April 13, 1924. Michael Novosel was born on September 3, 1922 and died in 2006, age 84.

Since news broke of the indictment against Senator Menendez I have searched to find the right words. I am shocked. I am saddened. I am outraged.
It seems that every day - or at least once a week - Americans learn of another indictment of a public official whether it is a former President or sitting member of Congress or a sitting US Senator.
It seems every week we see another example of a sitting Supreme Court justice smugly ignoring legal and ethical obligations knowing there is virtually no repercussions.
Americans see that even one Senator can jeopardize national security and disrupt the lives of thousands of military families - for months on end - simply as means of scoring political points.
They see that extremists in Congress can potentially shut down the US government, causing chaos in the recovering US economy that will adversely impact so many in and out of government, again to just score political points.
It is no wonder that Americans on both sides of the political aisle have so little respect for our political parties and our institutions of government.
The indictment against Senator Menendez is stunning in its detail of corruption. That said, under our rule of law he is entitled to a presumption of innocence and his guilt or innocence will be left for a jury, as it should be. And just as it should be for Donald Trump.
But like I have said about the Trump indictments, the facts as stated against Senator Menendez are damning. So for me, the right words in this situation are simply this: For the sake of the people of New Jersey, for the sake of our Republic, for the sake of the Senate itself, Senator Menendez should resign his seat.

So I watched the Miami game today - good fun even if I don’t give a fuck about the team. Their offense played beutifully.
Then I channel surfed because I hate Fox Sports and found a final round of a LIV Golf tournament. Lasted about five minutes. The announcers sounded like they were making calls for Survivor, there was a giant scoreboard taking up the left side of the screen with various ‘team’ logos in shades of bright neon, and the players on the two teams I saw were wearing hot pink and purple golf shirts and their teams had weird fucking names.
Then, as a player was making a shot, on the side of the screen where one would expect to watch the ball hitting the fairway, a fucking tweet with a black background and the logo X took up a third of the remaining real estate…also, the words ‘Saudi Golf’ was visible everywhere. Between the Saudis sportswashing their image and fucking Elmo getting random plugs on the screen I was done with it.
I hope the golfers like their money…nobody fucking cares about their play anymore.

That doesn’t pass the smell test. Just a quick search shows that the top 10 CEOs average about 30 million a year each. 2% of 300 million is only 6 million. When most blockbusters these days have production/advertising budgets of half a billion dollars if they could make the strike go away with 6 million thy would do it in a second.
Saw this on Facebook:
The red tower in the background is part of Six Flags. If you know anything about the area, even before they built a new baseball stadium, you know how much that area has changed.
I went and looked up Six Flags, which was opened in 1961. The businessman who built it was only going to keep it open a short time so he could make some money before turning the area into an industrial park. But he recouped all of his money in 18 months and so he decided it was worth keeping it open.
As this week’s “debate” draws near, more polls are showing up.
Trump still leads the pack by a mile.
DeSantis is once again doing better while Smarmy is not doing so well in the most recent polls.
The rest of the pack is not changing. Pence+Haley are holding on to their combined <10% total, and Christie and Scott are fighting it out for sixth place.
The “debate” this week is not going to be very revelatory. It will be bash-the-immigrants, bash-the-libruls mostly. Trump will not be a story unless a judge shuts him up between now and Wednesday night.

Always love when somebody calls me for quotes on our cheapest room for 2 or more weeks and is so obvious about their finances being shakier than a paint mixer. People whose finances are in-order tend to ask questions like the size of the room, the number of beds, what appliances do the kitchens come with, and what other amenities we have to offer. People who ask me about payment schedules, the flexibility thereof, and how much they gotta pay upfront usually are the ones with credit histories so checkered that they couldn’t get approval to rent an outhouse.
And yes, this isn’t a hard-set rule because there are people who’ve asked such questions who’ve turned out to be business travelers who needed that info for the finance department, but our hotel’s history over the last 2 years shows that if you’re spending 20-30 minutes on your phone in the lobby either making calls or transferring funds around just to make the first week’s payment…odds are we’re gonna end up before a magistrate within a year to file paperwork to have you evicted for non-payment.

After Azerbaijan’s defeat of the breakaway area of Nogormo-Karabakh, Armenians in the region are fleeing to Armenia.
Reuters, September 24, 2023
Nagorno-Karabakh’s Armenians start to leave en masse for Armenia
STEPANAKERT, Azerbaijan, Sept 24 (Reuters) - Ethnic Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh began a mass exodus by car on Sunday toward Armenia after Azerbaijan defeated the breakaway region’s fighters in a conflict dating from the Soviet era.
The Nagorno-Karabakh leadership told Reuters the region’s 120,000 Armenians did not want to live as part of Azerbaijan for fear of persecution and ethnic cleansing.
Those with fuel had started to drive down the Lachin corridor toward the border with Armenia, according to a Reuters reporter in the Karabakh capital known as Stepanakert by Armenia and Khankendi by Azerbaijan.
An Armenian government statement said 1,050 people had crossed into Armenia from Nagorno-Karabkah as of 10 p.m. (1800 GMT) on Sunday.
Reuters pictures showed dozens of cars driving out of the capital toward the corridor’s mountainous curves.
The Armenians of Karabakh, a territory internationally recognised as part of Azerbaijan but previously beyond its control, were forced into a ceasefire last week after a 24-hour military operation by the much-larger Azerbaijani military.

This is really regressive politics. I remember this conflict going on in the early 1990’s, as was the one in Transnistria/Moldavia.
It says a lot about post-Soviet politics that such disputes permanently smoulder and flare up again and again. I can agree with Putin in his statement that the dissolution of the USSR in 1991 was the “Geopolical catastrophe of the century”.

The region was protected by Russia, but Azerbaijan no longer fears or respects them. Armenia, which had been Russia’s ally, recently held its first military exercises with the U.S.

I could try that. It might not shut again, though.
The button is a large plastic doohickey. I assume it works like similar plastic buttons on everything from a computer power switch to a car dashboard button. In electronic devices I’ve taken apart before to troubleshoot similar problems, the plastic button on the back has a plastic pin which pushes into the electrical switch. The pin can either wear or break, rendering the button useless.

Hey thanks for that; I didn’t know that about them.
According to Wikipedia, there are seven villages in the colony. Currently, six are larger than mine.
Then there’s this:
n March 1931, in the wake of the Great Depression, the Great Council disclosed to the Amana Society that the villages were in dire financial condition. The Depression was particularly harsh in the Colony because fire had badly damaged the woolen mill and destroyed the flour mill less than ten years earlier. At the same time, Society members were seeking increased secularism so that they could have more personal freedom. The Society agreed to split into two organizations: The non-profit Amana Church Society oversaw the spiritual needs of the community, while the for-profit Amana Society was incorporated as a joint-stock company. The transition was completed in 1932 and came to be known in the community as the Great Change

11 Terrifying Urban Legends That Turned Out to Be True
11. The all-too-real corpse decoration
Notorious outlaw Elmer McCurdy took on a second life following his death. In 1911, the embalmed corpse of McCurdy became a grim sideshow attraction throughout Texas, with people eager to see the famed criminal on display in funeral parlors and carnivals. Though it’s hard to document all of his travels, he eventually wound up in Long Beach, California, where someone apparently mistook him for a prop. McCurdy was hung in a funhouse at the Nu-Pike Amusement Park, his humanity discovered only after a crew member on The Six Million-Dollar Man—which was filming there in 1976—tried to adjust him, dislodging his very real arm. The following year, his corpse was put to proper rest.

He won a Superb Owl, he gets paid to drink beer on TV, he gets to bang a woman they could only have wet dreams about.

It seems to me that booking sites like Priceline or Hotels (dot) com are nothing more than rent-seeking capitalism.
Such services only provide a service to compare prices amongst a range of hotels or motels in a city, do not have to update their services to include current prices or room availability, and put their hands in the income stream to skim money.
My wife used to be a big fan of hotels (dot) com. She regularly booked hotels or motels through them. I convinced her to ignore what hotels (dot) com was pitching regarding a convention we were attending at the Brown Palace Hotel in Denver. As it turned out, calling the Brown Palace resulted in better accommodations (such as a handicap-accessible room) than hotels (dot) com presented.
Since then, she’s only used the site to get the information about a hotel or motel in question, then directly booked through the hostillier. There is no confusion about price, services, or availability when you directly speak to the hotel or motel rather than a third-party rent-seeker.

Exactly, use those sites like the yellow pages when looking for a hotel and that’s about it. When we were in our transition process between owners, it still took us literal months to get every outdated fact about the hotel updated or nixed because each company would demand that the owners contact them instead of listening to us and our new owners couldn’t be fucking bothered. People were still showing up in the summer and getting pissed off because we no longer had a pool despite every OTA showing old pictures of the property that included the pool. And it took a good year for Google to finally stop listing us under our old name which confused the fuck out of our repeat guests.

I used to use third-party booking services and never had trouble. Until I did.
I once booked an evening cruise through Expedia on Lake Michigan as an anniversary present for my mother and late step-father. When we arrived at Navy Pier, the ship owner told me that there was no cruise that night, because the ship had been booked by a company for a private cruise on the lake.
I didn’t give the clerk any grief since it took me zero seconds to figure out who’d screwed me. That turned into a couple-month fight with Expedia to get my money back.
In stead, as it turned out there was a presentation on Navy Pier by the Cirque du Soleil, so we went to that instead.

Really awful coffee (for example, left on a burner or in a carafe for several hours) might be improved by adding sugar or cream.
Me? Man I drank coffee in the Navy, where frequently water cofferdams were accidentally cross-connected to JP-5 aircraft fuel storage, and the fresh water to make coffee had JP-5 in it.
Unless the coffee has poison in it, I can probably drink it.
Heh, both my folks did 20 apiece in Uncle Sam’s Canoe Club, and both have stories about the shipboard coffee and food in general. You know, the kind you can turn over the cup, pull it up, and the coffee stays in a perfect cylinder on the countertop.

when i was in my 20s/30s i figured if i had to adulterate my coffee to mask the taste / change the flavor, maybe i didnt like it all that much and should drink something else. so i drank tea, not coffee for years.
it also led to my purisit / minimalist rule re alcohol:
up to two things in a glass. one can be ice.
still true today
over the years i found better coffee
candy coffee (a la sbux) seem silly (to me)
egg coffee is more sophisticated and is quite nice once or twice a week

Let’s try that again:
Misperceptions in a post-truth world: Effects of subjectivism and cultural relativism on bullshit receptivity and conspiracist ideation [Journal of Research in Personality]
This research investigated whether belief in truth relativism yields higher receptivity to misinformation. Two studies with representative samples from Sweden (Study 1, N = 1005) and the UK (Study 2, N = 417) disentangled two forms of truth relativism: subjectivism (truth is relative to subjective intuitions) and cultural relativism (truth is relative to cultural context). In Study 1, subjectivism was more strongly associated with receptivity to pseudo-profound bullshit and conspiracy theories than cultural relativism was. In Study 2 (preregistered), subjectivism predicted higher receptivity to both forms of misinformation over and above effects of analytical and actively open-minded thinking, profoundness receptivity, ideology, and demographics; the unique effects of cultural relativism were in the opposite direction (Study 1) or non-significant (Study 2).

Is it legal? Seems like it could still run afoul of interstate commerce rules, which I’m sure our current SC will gut if given the chance, I thought there was case law (heart of Atlanta?

re: #115 Decatur Deb
But with banduras.
It’s a classic trick among these grifters. Change the (out-)group of the bogeyman/scapegoat or the alleged victims and many won’t recognize it.
I believe many of you are familiar with these claims:
• Democrats use liberalism to weaken church and state,
• Liberals control the press,
• AntiFA works through radicals and revolutionaries,
• Libs replace traditional educational curriculum to discourage independent thinking,
• LGBTQIA+ encourage immorality among Christian youth,
• Scientists use intellectuals to confuse people,
• Activitst judges weaken laws through liberal interpretations,
Which are found in this list, where “they”
• … are behind a plan for global conquest,
• … work through Masonic lodges,
• … use liberalism to weaken church and state,
• … control the press,
• … work through radicals and revolutionaries,
• … manipulate the economy, especially through banking monopolies and the power of gold,
• … encourage issuing paper currency not tied to the gold standard,
• … promote financial speculation and use of credit,
• … replace traditional educational curriculum to discourage independent thinking,
• … encourage immorality among Christian youth,
• … use intellectuals to confuse people,
• … control “puppet” governments both through secret allies and by blackmailing elected officials,
• … weaken laws through liberal interpretations,
• … will suspend civil liberties during an emergency and then make the measures permanent.
And in the original narrative, “they” are the Jews, and the source is The Protocols…

re: #113 No Malarkey!
Further proof Clay’s an ass:
Outkick founder Clay Travis snapped at a rival Fox News panelist who brought up January 6 as a reason why President Joe Biden shouldn’t just pardon Donald Trump of all his federal charges.
Travis and Ameshia Cross faced off during a MediaBuzz panel where they compared and contrasted the former president’s legal problems to Hunter Biden’s. Even though President Joe Biden’s son was federally charged recently for gun crimes and making false statements, Travis stuck to the talking point that the Justice Department has been weaponized against conservatives.

I just ordered 4 more COVID tests. (Thanks for reposting the link at Mastodon, Thanos.) Second time this pandemic. The first 4 fell off the extended expiration dates list. I never used one, but I gave 2 away from the first set.
I was tested once, May 9, 2020. Not sure why I remembered the date. (It is one of the 6 siblings’ birthdays.) It was a home visit by a crew from the local U who had started some research project. They were one of the originators of sewer testing for COVID.

This is really regressive politics. I remember this conflict going on in the early 1990’s, as was the one in Transnistria/Moldavia.
It says a lot about post-Soviet politics that such disputes permanently smoulder and flare up again and again. I can agree with Putin in his statement that the dissolution of the USSR in 1991 was the “Geopolical catastrophe of the century”.

I read a story (Stross, maybe?) where printers were ubiquitous, standard in every home, but the plans for making printers were illegal to possess. Instructions and feedstocks for making the very basic necessities were a type of basic income scheme. Thriving black market in other feedstocks so the UBIers could print things that were not obviously government issue. I don’t remember much more than that.

Port Coquitlam Mayor Brad West is stunned this has happened.
“It’s just the sort of vile garbage that isn’t welcomed in our community or anywhere else.”
“It’s disturbing to see anything like this,” an outraged West told CityNews.
West, who has two young children, says this has really struck a chord with him.
“I can’t imagine someone trying to promote that hatefulness, that racism amongst children. It is completely unacceptable. Our city condemns it in the strongest terms and we’re very much focused on promoting a community where everyone feels a part of Port Coquitlam.”

here’s a quick story
i missed the 9/17 sunday mailbag edition of electoral-vote.com.
the letters were talking about alabama’s dealth penalty and their interest in hypoxia.
When I read the 9/23 edition, in the gallimaufry section, I smiled and reminisced over my scuba diving career.
About 30 years ago I was a regular participant on several scuba diving message boards. remember those days? write an email. send it. wait…. it gets posted….
anyway
After reading the 9/23 response by R.P. who lives in Hawaii, I’m pretty sure I know who he is. Took about 4 seconds.
We had some interactions on those scuba boards back in the early/mid 90s, though he would not remember me.
I, on the other hand, have quite a trove of his diving wisdom that I cut, pasted and saved from back then.
A lot of it shaped my approach to personal responsibility in diving, and PR in general.
And it shaped how I developed my diving philosophy and my overall approach to teaching scuba and developing lesson plans.
I attribute a lot of my success, becoming an inconspicuous, successful master instructor, to those early days.
electoral-vote.com curates the mail they post. they rarely ask for actual commentary. so the chances of RP showing up on EV to discuss diving are rather slim.
From scuba diving and deep stops, to 30 years later sort of crossing paths on a political web site is a wonderful demonstration how quirky and odd life can be.

You can see the divide between West and East Germany: although the West is not necessarily a model of integration, they have been living with foreigners since the first guest workers started arriving (mainly from Italy, Portugal, Turkey and Yugoslavia) in the 1960’s, and generally getting along with them.
Every town of any size has at least one Italian ice café and/or a pizzeria, a Greek restaurant, a Döner kebab shop and nowadays most likely some sort of Asian restaurant as well.
East Germany knew only a handful of guest workers from Socialist Brother Countries like North Vietnam, who lived temporarily in separate barracks housing and were sent home after their contracts expired, and a handful of exchange students, often the scions of African or Asian autocrats who were cozying up to the Socialists.
And former East Germany is where the populist AfD (Allianz für Deutschland) party is the strongest.

I guess I could have included a link…
Well, I’ve been able to narrow down the candidates for the local school board (11 are running for 4 seats). One individual was helpful by including the “reason” he’s running. He buried it under an obscure link but apparently it was an email exchange where he asked “CRT?” and the person essentially replied with “Seriously? CRT?” and then he ranted on about how it’s impossible to work with someone so rigid. He’s part of a group of four running together under the buzzword “transparency” - so they’re all right out.
Another guy has a page talking about how test scores have been declining and he posted a bunch of stats comparing the school district results over the years and to other local suburban school districts. You have to squint really hard to see anything but noise comparing the school’s numbers over the last 10 years (excluding Covid years) and the school district is smack dab in the upper half of test results he posted for the other local school districts for post covid years. No discussion on context as to why numbers aren’t what he wants (could easily be year-to-year noise or related to an increase of english as second language in the student population, or “wokeness /s”) but he’s going to improve those scores by his immense will power. So, he’s right out too.
I set some pretty harsh standards.

The red tower in the background is part of Six Flags. If you know anything about the area, even before they built a new baseball stadium, you know how much that area has changed.
I went and looked up Six Flags, which was opened in 1961. The businessman who built it was only going to keep it open a short time so he could make some money before turning the area into an industrial park. But he recouped all of his money in 18 months and so he decided it was worth keeping it open.
