Russia is outlawing whatever the “international LGBT public movement” is, as an extremist organization.
This is fine, because being homophobic genocidal imperialists is hunkey dorey if you thumb your nose at the US.
Speaker Johnson has reservations about expelling Santos, but says he won’t whip the vote.
What I said on Bluesky about Margaret Thatcher:
Margaret Thatcher’s death is very instructive: The English have no inhibitions against speaking ill of the dead. Their eulogizing over Thatcher was bitter, ugly, and mean. And those were her good points! It was a glorious way to not remember someone any longer!

Aurora could be visible unusually far south tonight as strong solar storm hits
The University of Alaska’s aurora forecast predicts that the northern lights will be visible overhead late Thursday night into Friday morning as far south as Portland, Ore.; Cheyenne, Wyo.; Lincoln, Neb.; Springfield, Ill.; and New York City, away from city lights. It says the aurora might be visible low on the horizon as far south as Carson City, Nev.; Oklahoma City; and Raleigh, N.C. Clouds could block the view in some places with the best viewing conditions expected in the Upper Midwest, northern United Kingdom and Norway, according to Space Weather Watch.

Expelling a lying criminal for lying and crimes isn’t so easy when those things are the core of your political party.
For fans of Donna Leon’s Brunetti mysteries, Kanopy has just mounted the German-made 18 episode series. Each show covers one book in 1hr 20 min.
A German-speaking Brunetti takes a bit of adjustment, but the production values and Venetian photography are first-class.
Note: The episodes do not follow the sequence of the books—it’s best to start with Death at La Fenice, her first novel. Surrendering 5 of Kanopy’s 15 monthly credits lets you see all 18 stories over as much as 21 days.
Someone easy to control.

re: #9 Belafon
Trump thinks this will somehow give Trump an edge in communities of color.
And it’s also a reminder that he will wreck anyone who stands in his way, including Haley, DeSantis and the clown show of pretenders who are fighting for 2d behind Trump knowing they have no chance against him - and aren’t even trying to hit Trump on his record (mostly because it’s their record too - and they doubled down on Trump insanity).
Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway says the billionaire Haslam family tried to bribe at least 15 executives at the Pilot truck stop chain with millions of dollars to get them to inflate the company’s profits this year because that would force Berkshire to pay more for the Haslams’ remaining 20% stake in the company.
Just part of doing business. Maybe should have offered them all one of a signature line of Clarence Thomas RVs.

Rep. Santos could startle everyone by switching his registration from Republican to Democrat.
The mineral-rich stew bubbling thousands of feet beneath the shores of Southern California’s Salton Sea contains one of the largest lithium deposits in the world, with enough of the valuable metal to make batteries for more than 375 million electric vehicles, according to a long-awaited analysis published Tuesday.“It’s pretty exciting how much is there,” said Michael McKibben, a geology research professor from UC Riverside who worked on the 371-page report commissioned by the Department of Energy.
Since there are fewer than 300 million vehicles on the road in the United States today, the study suggests there’s ample lithium in this remote desert outpost to help replace every gas-guzzler in the country with an emission-free EV. That should allow us to eventually halt problematic lithium imports from South America and China, which McKibben said would boost U.S. energy security as we push toward President Biden’s goal of making 50% of vehicles electric by 2030.
That could also leave enough lithium to allow the United States to become an exporter of a metal that’s viewed as key to decarbonizing economies around the world.
But that hinges on the success of three companies — Berkshire Hathaway, EnergySource and Controlled Thermal Resources — that have been working for years on plans to extract lithium from the area’s geothermal field in a cost-efficient, eco-friendly way.Those companies’ timelines for starting commercial lithium production at the Salton Sea all have been nudged back multiple times. But Rod Colwell, chief executive of Controlled Thermal Resources, said the new report “confirms much larger lithium reserves than originally thought,” which he said “will no doubt assist with financing” to keep his company’s lithium plant project moving forward.
Carlsbad-based EnergySource expects to break ground early next year on the area’s first full-scale lithium extraction plant. McKibben said he’s hopeful that we’ll then start to see commercial production from these companies in 2028 — the same year global demand for lithium is projected to exceed supply.

The jacket still kills me, one of the richest men in the world rolling around in that cheap Launchpad McQuack ass rig with carpeting scraps glued to the collar. I mean, if dude wants to wear a costume that suggests rugged mid century male virility fine, I get it, have a few myself though I don’t go for the biker look. But at least pay for the good stuff. Take for instance this BUCO J-24L from The Real McCoys in Japan, a very similar jacket but executed with actual style instead of being just hammered shit with terrible fit and finish that looks like it was assembled by the same team that puts together Cybertrucks:
I mean yes, if you wear that to DealBook you’re still going to look like a tool, but you’d look like a tool with an eye for quality.

My Kissinger story. Every 6 months, the DC @ap would send reporters to the National Archives in College Park to search through a roomful of newly declassified docs to see if anything 30 years old was newsworthy. I made one such trek in 2002.
— Ron Kampeas (@kampeas) November 30, 2023
They made clear to thier supposed peers that they were the big cheeses and they’d better get out of their way. so I wrote the story that way. Buried deep inside was this sentence: “In his meeting with Heath, Nixon … boasts that U.S. ally Brazil rigged the election in Uruguay.”
— Ron Kampeas (@kampeas) November 30, 2023
I did not know that. I thought surely, this must be known that the US rigged the election in Uruguay in the early 1970s. People suspected, but there was never a smoking gun … until it popped up on a decades old typewritten sheet at the National Archive. Story in next tweet

re: #322 The Ghost of a Flea
Politeness has nothing to do with morality.
Mediating language about a powerful dead person to be respectful, when their life was built upon fundamental disrespect for the lives of others, is bullshit done not out of kindness for the dead but to make the powerful dead person signify nothing uncomfortable.
Because if it meant something that powerful people can be this way, can get away with things, can be praised and admired in a way that shows an infinite regress of conditional statements appended to those hard-coded values and morals that justify power, can fail and get a do-over even when that failure has a body count…
…then that power is not moral and cannot be justified by pointing to a document or pledge; but also that that power is not utilitarian in the way that it presents itself to be, but instead performs some other kind of utility that is simply left unsaid.
Politeness is the simplest form of manipulation.

That is one way of looking at it.
A 21-year-old Israeli woman who was snatched from the Nova music festival and then paraded in a chilling Hamas hostage video has today been released by the terrorists in front of a baying crowd of Palestinians.Terrifying footage shows Mia Schem surrounded by a screaming mob and guarded by masked Hamas gunmen as she was walked from a car and handed over to Red Cross operatives this afternoon.
The French-Israeli hostage had been held captive for 54 days since October 7 when she was dragged away in to Gaza. In that time she was forced to film a propaganda video which showed the captive receiving treatment for injuries she sustained in her kidnapping.
Associated Press: “The Republican National Committee’s rules for next year’s nominating contest and convention were released this week without addressing a question the GOP could well face next summer: Can the party’s delegates vote for a different candidate if the presumptive nominee is convicted of a felony?”
“Even if he were to be convicted in Washington or another trial, top party leaders and many voters have indicated they would stand by Trump anyway.”

I still don’t understand why anyone would want to be Vice President… unless you’re looking at it as an epilogue to your political career (like Cheney and what most of us thought of Biden in 2008). You have zero power or agency, your future political career is tied entirely to someone else. It really is the proverbial bucket of warm piss.
Honestly, if I could rewrite the constitution from scratch, I would probably just drop the office. Make the Speaker of the House next in line, or have a provision for a snap election in the even the office becomes vacant with either the Speaker or the Secretary of State serving as Acting President until the office is filled. As for the Senate tie breaking - a tie would mean the bill passes - or we just eliminate the Senate and have a unicameral legislature.

These are questions more likely answered by the intersection how Trump hangs around his club all the time and constantly takes photos with people and how Trump takes other people’s shit—like an employee’s birthday—and turns into into a stupid spectacle about himself, and normal employment bullshit like office birthday escalated to 11 by the workplace being Mar a Lago and it’s entire kitchen full of barrow wights plus Trump as your Cool Boss.
Like, she works there and that signifies nothing about her except that she needs a job, barring further exploration. Also, the one thing we know is that she’s talking publicly about a covered-up assault, and any other detail on her politics or nature is just non-relevant.

Cancer detection too - I have some acquaintances working on a relatively quick detection method looking at detecting volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the breath. Different cancers have different VOC fingerprints. Big deal if they can get it too work. vocxihealth.com is the start-up.
I mean, barrow wights famously despise flavor and the linear advancement of time.

Kissinger just proved that. Can’t believe that fucker got to 100 and Betty White didn’t. So unfair.
“Let me get this straight,” Goldman tweeted at Comer at half-past-midnight. “You welcomed nude photos of Hunter Biden in a public hearing but you won’t welcome the testimony of Hunter Biden in a public hearing.”“If Hunter testified in the nude, would you then let him appear for a public hearing?”

Margaret Thatcher’s death is very instructive: The English have no inhibitions against speaking ill of the dead. Their eulogizing over Thatcher was bitter, ugly, and mean. And those were her good points! It was a glorious way to not remember someone any longer!

Charlie’s essay on the death of Kissinger is a wonderful read, if you have access to it. I don’t subscribe to many blogs, or such, but Pierce’s political blog on Esquire is one that I will hold onto until the end. Unfortunately, I can’t “gift” access to any of his essays. All I can do is encourage you to sign up. (That means coping with Esquire’s horrible membership program for reading and commenting. Join the griping club!)
