Hello all!

Good evening. Quiet night here in lizardland.

Rape is a Crime. It is a Tool of War.

It’s not a misunderstanding or a way to procreate.

**Trigger Warning****

I’ve come to Kampala to hear the stories of the few brave men who have agreed to speak to me: a rare opportunity to find out about a controversial and deeply taboo issue. In Uganda, survivors are at risk of arrest by police, as they are likely to assume that they’re gay - a crime in this country and in 38 of the 53 African nations. They will probably be ostracised by friends, rejected by family and turned away by the UN and the myriad international NGOs that are equipped, trained and ready to help women. They are wounded, isolated and in danger. In the words of Owiny: “They are despised.”

Just lovely. I thought exorcisms thru the church were pretty difficult to get approved.

Watch for sloppy metaphors. “Exorcism” to Catholics is real, but rare, as in ‘What kind of medieval shit are you talking about?” Whatever the hell Jindal did in college was not an exorcism.

On the plus side, I may have finally gotten the Surface display to turn itself off after a period of inactivity again. Knock on wood.

Agreed about sloppy metaphors, but apparently “exorcism” is indeed the word Bishop Paprocki used, as quoted in the State Journal-Register article I linked to in #10:

Bishop Thomas John Paprocki also said he will offer “prayers of supplication and exorcism” on Wednesday, the same day Gov. Pat Quinn is scheduled to sign the same-sex marriage legislation into law.

Yep, but he meant “rebuking evil” rather than mounting a complex ritual to drive out a demon. Exorcism is a very formal affair, hardly heard of in the 50s and 60s, until that stupid movie came out. (All priests used to be exorcists, one of the ordination processes, for about 15 minutes, until they moved on to the more serious Holy Orders. A minority of priests are still assigned as exorcists, like the 89 yr old crazy uncle in the Vatican. I forget the Latin phrase for “humoring him”.)

Then Bishop Paprocki is being a drama llama and using “exorcism” aas a buzzword to get the flock all ginned up.
I checked his wiki page and he apparently has a history of doing this sort of thing.

I’ve been learning about power and control and that Men fear other Men, thus the “Man Box” analogy that determines behavior and thought patterns. From the article I linked above:

The research by Lara Stemple at the University of California doesn’t only show that male sexual violence is a component of wars all over the world, it also suggests that international aid organisations are failing male victims. Her study cites a review of 4,076 NGOs that have addressed wartime sexual violence. Only 3% of them mentioned the experience of men in their literature. “Typically,” Stemple says, “as a passing reference.”

This is horrifying to me. The male survivors encounter the same stigma and exile that female survivors experience in some cultures. In many ways it is worse, becuase they are no longer considered men. Female survivors don’t lose their gender in the eyes of society.

That never really worked for me because in my dialect of English “wh” is pronounced differently from “w”, so there’s always an extra translation step (“oh - ‘wear’, not ‘where’!”) that has to happen before I get the joke. Essentially I have to explain it to myself, which always spoils the effect.

My day was pretty much morning comment reading and catching up on email while a cat napped next to me.

Longish walk by myself in early afternoon down into Old City Philadelphia. Sat for a while in the “mall” between Independence Hall and the Constitution Center, then wandering walk back through Washington Square and such to Center City. Hit a place for a salad and large beer* for lunch, then a bakery and the farmer’s market on Rittenhouse Square headed back to the apartment. Read a bit more, took a nap, and here I am.

So, a day pretty much spent by my lonesome.

The most recent Sci-Fi story I read had a planet named Palin. When I heard it (audiobook), I thought: Oh great, the writer is a wingnut. Turns out, Palin is about the most fucked-up plant there is.

Book is (I think) a YA novel series, but good none-the-less. I”ll read more in the series. I really like this author, Hugh C Howey. He explores some very complex subjects in a novel way, IMHO.

*sigh*

My “constitutionalist” friends are throwing around a lot of ARGLE BARGLE about Austin suppsedly looking to ban fast foods, and they pointed to an article at Dudebro Central (i.e., Reason) to support it. Since I live here in Austin and they don’t, I looked deeper into the story. There is ONE local network that mentioned anything at all about a potential resolution regulating fast food, but nothing else. No public discussions, no news story anywhere else, nada.

Apparently there is a CHIP requirement for a “Healthy Food Zone” that would limit where fast food chains could be built near schools, etc. to provide better food choices for kids. The Austin city council had a resolution to consider getting the City Manager to look into the feasibility of those zones and how they would work, but the vote on it was postponed.

In short, a resolution that calls a planning meeting in order to plan a meeting about fast food gets postponed and the Dudebros immediately jump to AUSTIN IZ BANNING FAST FOOD ZOMG. Idiots.

In the BANG BANG Reboot, you unplug it, yell at it, smack it around, then yell at it again, something like ‘You better f-ing work bastard ass mofo.’

WTF! Charles. You might want to look into this. The above link. It shouldn’t be here. This was a basic quote button reply that didn’t work, followed by a cut and paste.

This glitch besides, the case was dismissed without predudice. This means there was a procudural error that needs to be corrected before the case can proceed. It’s not that the case was without merit, but the paper work was screwed up. Nothing more.

There was an entire string of procedural errors. Failure to give proper notice to the defendants, failure to even state a sufficient cause of action in two counts, and an insufficient “shotgun” style pleading so badly written that:

The Court had great difficulty ascertaining which Count of the Complaint stated a cause of action for the various articles because each subsequent Count “realleges and reavers” each of the allegations contained within the preceding Counts. This form of pleading is insufficient. Even though this is a pro se pleading, Plaintiff readily declares that he has been practicing law for approximately 36 years.

Basically the Court said his shit was an awful shambles from beginning to end.

Christian Bale on Batkid: ‘What a Wonderful Day for the Little Fella!’

“Wasn’t that fantastic?” the clearly delighted Bale said, breaking out into a huge smile. Bale has been busy in Spain this past week shooting Ridley Scott’s Exodus, but after he flew into Los Angeles at four o’clock this morning to attend the press junket for his new film Out of the Furnace, it wasn’t long before he learned about Batkid’s exploits: “I looked on the news and I saw this headline and thought, ‘What’s that?’ And I saw all the pictures of him running around and saving people. It’s so touching.”

“What’s his name, Miles?” continued the actor. “He must have been bewildered! Hopefully, later on, he’ll be able to look back and say, ‘Oh my God, how amazing.’”

Even if it’s just a matter of paperwork or form, doesn’t much matter. Klayman seems to have the same high degree of success in court as Orly. If they showed up as my defence team in a capitol case, I think I’d just ask the bailiff to shoot me right then and there, get it over with.

re: #106 FemNaziBitch

Interesting that the USGS said RockBurst. As a former mining engineer many years ago to me a rock burst was usually confined to some very deep mines where a bit of rock in the drifts (tunnel) would shatter due to the removal of the tremendous weight of the overlying material caused built up stress to be relieved. Think of a rubber band being cut when the tension is removed.

No, because his pleadings were such a mess the court couldn’t make out if they could possibly have merit. So the judge decided to dismiss without prejudice, to give Klayman some chance to get his shit together.

Klayman, however, likely sees this as part of the conspiracy against him. Instead of trying to make a case (assuming there ever one to make, which i do not believe there is), he’s going to scream, rant and rave about how he is “the victim of Big Socialism.”

And I also suspect that the courts probably issue the lawyers some guidelines on what their court procedures are. When I was serving jury duty the judge got visibly peeved at the defense lawyers for not following the expected procedure for submitting and referring to evidence. To the point that he sent the jury out of the room for ten minutes when they messed it up for the third time.

I did discover that my grade for one of the previous problem sets as recorded in the online gradebook does not match the grade given on the one they e-mailed back to me, and the discrepancy was not in my favor (or a small number). That e-mail has gone out with the attached proof.

Needless to say, it has not made me any more enthusiastic about this class.

I am thankfully in the home stretch and at least on track for a reasonable grade (which, given the subject matter and how much I hate this stuff is good). I will be perfectly happy not to ace this material (it’s not terribly applicable to what I want to do in any sense, but required for the certificate regardless) as long as my grade meets the requirements for continuing forward.

So, how goes the weekend? I discovered “Spiral” (or the original name, Engrenages, a French crime TV series, and have been serially watching, although I have so many interruptions, including company that I welcomed seeing, I’ll have to watch a second time. I have absolutely no working knowledge of French and it’s sub-titled, so naturally, if I’m not actually “watching”, I miss a lot. There is a lot of character development and twists going on, so you need to pay more than a modicum of attention.

I also discovered France’s most beautiful man. And yes, he can act.
