Saturday Song: The Tallest Man on Earth, "Like the Wheel"

Saturday Song: The Tallest Man on Earth, “Like the Wheel”

Like the wheel that will take you home

MusicSeptember 2015 • Views: 46,326

Accompanied by his own guitar and a great choir of backup singers, here’s Kristian Matsson (aka The Tallest Man on Earth) with a beautiful performance of one of his older songs, “Like the Wheel.”

And this is a good time to notify you, dear reader, that starting at about 4pm Pacific time we’ll be going offline for a little while to do some system upgrades on our web and database servers. We’re movin’ on up to the latest versions of PHP and MySQL; not sure how long this will take, but hopefully it won’t be too arduous.

If a signal were beamed at us specifically, it wouldn’t be encrypted—every bit of ingenuity possible would be exercised to make it readable. If it’s just a matter of detecting alien communications with each other, determining that a signal is artificial has nothing to do with understanding its content. This guy’s an idiot.

Random trivia: Everyone here knows I love cats—big wild ones, small domesticated ones, all of ‘em. The Twitter accounts that tweet photos often don’t add descriptions, so I began to wonder how to tell leopards & jaguars apart.

Turns out it’s pretty easy—it’s all (or at least mostly) in the spots. Jaguars have rosettes with spots in the middle, leopards have plain ones with no spots in the middle. Cheetahs have regular solid spots that aren’t arranged into rosettes, but they look different enough (to me) that I never have a problem identifying one.

Oh, one more thing: Black panthers in Africa & Asia are leopards, the ones in the Americas are jaguars.

Here’s an interesting blog post on big cats I came across while googling.

My prediction, because it’s what I want to see and because it seems like it should be easily observable, is skewed isotope ratios in these sedimentary rocks they’ve examined—less C-13 than in volcanic rocks.

Of course, there are deniers here who won’t accept the obvious—that those skewed ratios indicate that the carbon even in the 3.9 billion year old Issua formation in Greenland (and in the even earlier zircons embedded in it) have been processed by life. To me, it’s a smoking gun—microfossils like you don’t begin to see until 3.6 billion years ago are just a bonus.

Not the campaign but a Walker supporting Unintimidated Super PAC. Chuck accused the Super PAC of starting the rumor in order to try and get the aide fired because they allegedly viewed him as ineffectual. There’s also apparently some pre-existing bad blood between Chuck and the guy behind Unintimidated, because in his article Chuck whined:

He also pushed fake information about GotNews [dot] com editor-in-chief Chuck C. Johnson to National Review and several other cuckservative websites.

re: #100 Charles Johnson

Did anyone actually bother to investigate whether the nun supposedly “cured of lupus” after praying to Junipero Serra either:

1. had lupus in the first place, or

2. was actually cured?

Of course not. Nobody wants to actually investigate this bullshit because they know they’re not going to like what they find out.

Faith healing stories are always kinda sketchy because you’re effectively relying on hearsay. You have no one’s word but the speaker that they or their loved one actually had the condition claimed to have been cured.

re: #99 KGxvi

I remember that nukes are one of the mechanisms used to terraform Mars in Kim Stanley Robinson’s Mars trilogy, mostly in Green Mars (the second one). The idea is to drill moholes several miles deep, deposit the nukes, fill in the holes, set the bombs off, and let the heat from the detonations melt the shallower underground frozen aquifers, while trusting that the bombs were deep enough to prevent radiation from getting into the (hopefully) biosphere.

Seemed to work, but obviously that proves nothing.

“It’s never lupus.”

—Gregory House

Of course, that was a joke. “lupus”, not “lupus erythematosus”, is tuberculosis of the skin—very common in those days, almost unheard of now, so when someone says “lupus” we think they mean the autoimmune disease.

The entire story is stupid on its face. He “reporting” on “several GOP operatives” spreading a rumor so they could Wiley fired, and he ran the story without getting a comment from Wiley. That kind of reporting gets one in trouble but fast.

Besides, if Wiley were just a poor employee, why resort to rumors of restroom blow jobs? Just fire his ass.

Libel suits are covered under anti-SLAPP, and it’s legitimately debatable whether Rick Wiley as the national campaign manager for Walker is a public figure or not. If he isn’t he would still has to prove that Chuck knew it was false. Also, it’s Dayspring’s organization that sent the C&D letter, not Wiley.

Looks like the shop wants me to start my EFR (Emergency First Responder (CPR / Defib / First Aid)) instructor training that next week. If so, that will pretty much blow making a side-trip out the window.

* Donald Trump called Willie Robertson to the stage at Oklahoma State Fair
* Duck Dynasty star said he ‘liked me some Trump’ because they are both successful businessmen with TV shows and have beautiful wives
* Trump earlier said he would reclaim Christmas if he becomes President
* Vowed to bring back phrase ‘merry Christmas’ instead of ‘happy holidays’

My first thought: First the Palins, then the Robertsons. Trump’s rolling up the right-of-center reality people. Fusing their DERP with his to create a Wingularity that may destroy the solar system.

Meanwhile, Kim Davis claiming that her spending a few nights in jail made her a martyr diminishes the real pain and suffering of some real martyrs, Christian or otherwise.

So, it looks like Breitbart’s resident white nationalist homepage editor has deleted her twitter account. Twitter says it doesn’t exist, not “suspended” and it doesn’t forward to a new handle in advanced search, which is what happens when an account changes their handle. If I had to guess I’d say Breitbart’s management finally got sick of having to deal with all the backlash from her overtly racist bullshit and finally forced her to choose between Twitter and keeping her job.

World Youth Day was held in Denver in the summer of 1993. It was a big deal. I read somewhere that the population of Denver proper (which in 1993 was below 500,000) tripled when Pope John Paul II showed up.

I grew up in a decidedly non-religious household. I became aware of it in third grade elementary school. Some classmate asked me if I went to church. I said no. I turned into weirdo in some of my classmates eyes after that. Later, I asked my father “Why don’t we go to church?” My father replied “Because, son, we’re not church-going-to people.” I’ll never forget that. It was so matter-of-fact. That was 25 years ago and I still remember.

Sounds similar to my experience, without the letters. My dad worked six days a week, and Sunday was his day off. Mom had a hearing problem, and said going to church was pointless for her because she couldn’t hear the minister. I got practically no religious instruction at home, and of course no Sunday school, either. So I was the oddball among my peer group. One guy in junior high figured I must be Jewish, because I didn’t go to church. This was suburban Long Island, where being a churchgoer was more of a social status thing than something heartfelt for most people. My only formal experience with church as a kid was my christening in a Presby church and attending various cousins’ weddings.

I really didn’t get what the big deal was all about.

I’d also point out that many of the refugees/migrants fleeing Syria speak a little English, just as many Europeans speak a little English. That’s enough in most cases for them to manage traversing so many borders.

Clearly, if we want to stop refugees we need to stop teaching them English in school! //

There’s been like a dozen or so individual papal statements throughout the whole RCC history that are considered infallible.

Nyet Sep 27, 2015 • 3:32:34am

The most important prophet, so far as we are concerned, is the one who is living in our day and age. This is the prophet who has today’s instructions from God to us. God’s revelation to Adam did not instruct Noah how to build the ark. Every generation has need of the ancient scripture, plus the current scripture from the living prophet. Therefore, the most crucial reading and pondering that you should do is of the latest inspired words from the Lord’s mouthpiece. That is why it is essential that you have access to and carefully read his words. […]
Beware of those who would set up the dead prophets against the living prophets, for the living prophets always take precedence.

If the living Prophet says we’ve always been at war with Eastasia, then ain’t that the revealed truth!

I suppose it doesn’t come as a great shock then that she’s also a 9/11 truther… with a twist:

Click to Reveal

In the years since the 9/11 attacks, dozens of books have sought to explore the truth behind the official version of events that day - yet to date, none of these publications has provided a satisfactory answer as to WHY the attacks occurred and who was ultimately responsible for carrying them out.

Taking a broad, millennia-long perspective, Laura Knight-Jadczyk’s 9/11: The Ultimate Truth uncovers the true nature of the ruling elite on our planet and presents new and ground-breaking insights into just how the 9/11 attacks played out.

9/11: The Ultimate Truth makes a strong case for the idea that September 11, 2001 marked the moment when our planet entered the final phase of a diabolical plan that has been many, many years in the making. It is a plan developed and nurtured by successive generations of ruthless individuals who relentlessly exploit the negative aspects of basic human nature to entrap humanity as a whole in endless wars and suffering in order to keep us confused and distracted to the reality of the man behind the curtain.

Drawing on historical and genealogical sources, Knight-Jadczyk eloquently links the 9/11 event to the modern-day Israeli-Palestinian conflict. She also cites the clear evidence that our planet undergoes periodic natural cataclysms, a cycle that has arguably brought humanity to the brink of destruction in the present day.

For its no nonsense style in cutting to the core of the issue and its sheer audacity in refusing to be swayed or distracted by the morass of disinformation that has been employed by the Powers that Be to cover their tracks, 9/11: The Ultimate Truth can rightly claim to be THE definitive book on 9/11 - and what that fateful day’s true implications are for the future of mankind.

Her thesis thus mirrors the thesis of another crank popular in certain circles, Gregory Klimov, acc. to whom there exist so-called “degenerates” - most of them Jewish and homosexual, but not only - who rule the world.

antimatrix. org/Convert/Klimov-Degenerates-Rule-The-World.html

Q: But how do you know you are not a degenerate yourself?

[…]

Everyone can perform a quick and easy self-test. For all those, that fall into the 3rd stage of degeneracy (birth defects), and the 2nd category of degeneracy (mental diseases), it seems everything is clear. What remains to be seen, is whether you fall into the first category of degeneracy (sexual perversions).

In our progressive age, many sexual perversions, under pressures of degenerate propaganda in mass media (disinformation), became nearly a norm.

The position 69 is already recommended in schools in the USA as a good contraceptive measure. Many, out of category of normal people, started doing this.

So, how do we check ourselves on the subject of sexual perversions? Well, very simple actually. Try to do THIS in a normal way, as our fathers and grandfathers did age in, age out, “face to face, and the man on the top”. Try several times. Without lies, without deceit. Do not try to imagine, when you have sex with your wife, that you have sex with some other man, or a dog, or a pig…

If the results of this self-test will be positive, there is nothing to worry about for you. You were simply brainwashed by degenerate propaganda and you got accustomed to doing idiotic things.

Even if the previous analysis of “your family tree” gave you a different result, it all means that you were not told that you are adopted child, or your parents were not told they were adopted children.

re: #203 teleskiguy

I grew up in a decidedly non-religious household. I became aware of it in third grade elementary school. Some classmate asked me if I went to church. I said no. I turned into weirdo in some of my classmates eyes after that. Later, I asked my father “Why don’t we go to church?” My father replied “Because, son, we’re not church-going-to people.” I’ll never forget that. It was so matter-of-fact. That was 25 years ago and I still remember.

:-P

My father was raised a Catholic Yat.

My mother sort of a Presbyterian, who had lived everywhere from Illinois to Cuba.

The first church us siblings attended was the black church our maid went to, (may God bless Belldora) because she didn’t want us “babies to go to hell.”

As someone who was later confirmed and briefly attended Episcopalian (did I spell that right?), the “catechism on acid” reference wins the internet.

Don’t show his books to the GOP…

So, how do you know which kind of degenerates rule your country?

Well, by the same method we find out if there is a cat under your bed at home. We will wave the paper mouse, tied to a thin thread, and will see what kind of reaction we get.

Let us wave with our paper mouse in front of the government we are testing…

How does this government react on the movement of rights of homosexuals?

How does this government react on the death sentence to degenerate-criminals?

How does this government defend the interests of the class of the blue-color workers of this country?

How does this government defend the interests of the parasitic class of degenerates?

Simple questions. Simple answers. Simple text.

The same methodology could be applied to any other structure - science, art, army, press, TV…

So this is a few days old, but still.

But the founder of Jewish World Review, an online magazine that publishes Coulter’s syndicated column, isn’t buying her excuse.
“She could have been drunk, she could have been high, I don’t know, I have to give her the benefit of the doubt…but I don’t have to delude myself,” Binyamin Jolkovsky, who has served as the publication’s editor-in-chief for nearly 18 years, told The Daily Beast. “Pandering to Jewish money is about as anti-Semitic a stereotype as you could put forth. Her ‘eff-ing Jews’ comment is not identifying Israel—it’s identifying Jews, plural, and all Jews. There is no excuse for that. You can’t just wiggle out of something that vile and hateful.”

Of course he’s been offering that hateful firebrand a tribune for years, but suddenly is outraged when that hateful creature turns on Jews. Where was he when Coulter was telling all the same things about Muslims, Hispanics and others? Oh, right, he was nodding along.

Here’s one case where I was a long way ahead of the curve. Here’s what I had to say in comparing Ann Coulter with Sarah Palin almost three years ago:

No she’s worse. Sarah Palin just plain can’t explain complicated concepts, or string together a complex sentence, so she DERPs. Ann Coutler can do both such things and in her books she does at times. But at other times she presents matters simply which she has explained as complex in other contexts, which can only be ascribed to either deliberate dishonesty or a reckless indifference to the truth. So while she might discuss Richard Nixon’s motives for a questionable action (Coulter goes easier on Nixon than some other right-wing writers as she thinks Nixon performed a critical national service in keeping the House UnAmerican Activities Committee focused on Alger Hiss), the same sort of action by Jimmy Carter or Bill Clinton will be automatically ascribed by Coulter to some variation of “liberal soft-headedness”. Her lack of charity towards those who disagree with her is of the same extreme level reached by Ayn Rand.

dholmes32 Sep 27, 2015 • 7:41:12am

Here’s some information about Speaker of the House wannabe Dan Webster, stolen shamelessly from the “Stuff Fundies Like” blog (not that I think Darryl minds).

Daniel Webster is running for Speaker of the House and if that doesn’t terrify you it probably should. You see, Webster is a long-time Gothard man who has ties to the Christian Reconstruction movement. As Down with Tyranny blog reports:

Daniel Webster’s intimate, over three decade long involvement with evangelist Bill Gothard appears similar to a classic guru-disciple or mentor-pupil relationship and has included speaking multiple times at Gothard’s conferences, traveling with Gothard to Korea in 1996, using Bill Gothard’s material to homeschool his six children, making an instructional video for Gothard’s Institute For Basic Life Principles, and, when Webster became speaker of the Florida legislature in 1996, hiring four of Gothard’s IBLP employees as high-level Florida State House staffers.

Gothard is the creator/inventor of the perverse system under which Josh Duggar and his many siblings were/are being raised. Gothard himself was kicked out of his organization about two years ago when it became clear that he had sexually harassed at least three dozen young women volunteering at his org. If you want to know what Gothard teaches, this post from Homeschoolers Anonymous is enlightening: homeschoolersanonymous.wordpress.com

re: #294 Nyet

Compare the Telegraph:

Mohammed Muraseen and Saffa Hussein, two friends from Damascus in Syria, decided that their husky puppy, Loos, should also make the journey to Europe.

and the UN:

Many animal lovers will relate to this. 17-year-old Aslan Al Hakim from Damascus, Syria. And we’ve seen many like him carrying their animals with them on the long journey from Syria, across the Mediterranean Sea and through Europe. When forced to flee home because of war, many people would never dream of leaving their pets behind.

Al Hakim is nowhere mentioned in the first article… The reason may be that the reporter misunderstood the information told to him by the guys who cared for the puppy at the moment, or the guys did not identify the true owner.
But neither does the UN video mention that Al Hakim didn’t exactly carry the puppy alone for 500 km but rather that caring about the puppy had been a group responsibility all along.

Their domestic policy is all about the continued domination of white privilege, the humiliation and scapegoating of the less fortunate, and creating a permanent underclass that should be thanking their superiors for every crumb that falls from the table to them.

Even their religious views are all about supremacy of the evangelical Christian beliefs over the rights and beliefs of others.

“I personally don’t feel that way, but I would certainly be willing to listen to somebody who had evidence to the contrary,” Carson said on the program Sunday morning. “I think that’s one of the problems, we get to our little corners and we don’t want to listen to anybody anymore.”

Point of fact issue here on top of his Islamophobia.
Ummm, incoming refugees or even returning US citizens, with all required papers on hand have no probable cause protection. They can take your laptop/kndle/thumbdrive to mirror it, pull you over, search your body and your bags anywhere within 100 miles of the border.

The newest RWNJ outrage is over comments Pope Francis made saying “Jesus was a failure on the cross”. Here’s the part of the homily in question, courtesy of the NYT:

We can get caught up measuring the value of our apostolic works by the standards of efficiency, good management and outward success which govern the business world. Not that these things are unimportant! We have been entrusted with a great responsibility, and God’s people rightly expect accountability from us. But the true worth of our apostolate is measured by the value it has in God’s eyes. To see and evaluate things from God’s perspective calls for constant conversion in the first days and years of our vocation and, need I say, great humility. The cross shows us a different way of measuring success. Ours is to plant the seeds: God sees to the fruits of our labors. And if at times our efforts and works seem to fail and produce no fruit, we need to remember that we are followers of Jesus… and his life, humanly speaking, ended in failure, the failure of the cross

Point of fact issue here on top of his Islamophobia.
Ummm, incoming refugees or even returning US citizens, with all required papers on hand have no probable cause protection. They can take your laptop/kndle/thumbdrive to mirror it, pull you over, search your body and your bags anywhere within 100 miles of the border.

Profound ignorance.

As anyone who has passed through normal security channels at any US airport can attest.

Though I understand the TSA is no longer automatically checking or seizing the laptops, etc., of passengers arriving from abroad. They use some kind of bomb sniffer wand.

Feline Fearless Leader Sep 27, 2015 • 10:21:06am

re: #349 Eclectic Cyborg

The newest RWNJ outrage is over comments Pope Francis made saying “Jesus was a failure on the cross”. Here’s the part of the homily in question, courtesy of the NYT:

We can get caught up measuring the value of our apostolic works by the standards of efficiency, good management and outward success which govern the business world. Not that these things are unimportant! We have been entrusted with a great responsibility, and God’s people rightly expect accountability from us. But the true worth of our apostolate is measured by the value it has in God’s eyes. To see and evaluate things from God’s perspective calls for constant conversion in the first days and years of our vocation and, need I say, great humility. The cross shows us a different way of measuring success. Ours is to plant the seeds: God sees to the fruits of our labors. And if at times our efforts and works seem to fail and produce no fruit, we need to remember that we are followers of Jesus… and his life, humanly speaking, ended in failure, the failure of the cross

That’s a horrid misinterpretation to convert the last part of that homily into “Jesus was a failure on the cross”.

It seems to me that Francis’ point was that strictly from the viewpoint as a single secular human individual his life could be viewed as a failure. He is betrayed, executed, and his followers scattered. But Francis is saying that his true success and legacy was planting the spiritual seeds for those who follow.

Unless something changed since I took lessons on this probably not, the law makes room for lethal force to stop a violent felony. Likely subject to civil suit of course.

That’s strictly Hostage Rescue Team territory. A subset of SWAT, gets many kinds of specific training for hundreds of hours. Probably harder to get into that SEAL or Para rescue. IOW impossible for 99.99% of us that have been trained to use a gun if needed.

That’s also where the unarmed will sometimes jump in. bad idea of course, but some of us call that “Burning house response” like those that will run right in thinking a person is trapped in there. Of course that endangers you and anyone that tries to save your sorry ass.

ObserverArt Sep 27, 2015 • 10:55:05am

I’m going to call bullshit on some of Boehner’s complaints in that Politico article.

To me he never really tried to use all his tools to shut the Tea Party up. He and others tried to placate the TP crazies too often by going with their demands. He and the other supposed ‘establishment’ Republican’s should have stopped bringing their demands up in bills like the 50+ or whatever times they tried to repeal Obamacare.

They should have told them no we are not bringing them up to the whole house and fought out the reasons in closed door sessions instead of all the public grandstanding. Yes, I remember the bellowing deep voiced Boehner acting like he was pissed at Obama and Democrat and they were usurping the constitution, blah, blah, blah. Playing to the TP party all the time not only did not work it made the whole party look like incompetent clods. Boehner the most.

So don’t cry about the others now Johnny, you should have done your job and fought them while you had the job. Now you get tough in the press. You should have taken them on in the press years ago. You could have used the press and the Democrats to put the TP nuts in their place, but you always played along. You were spineless.

I’m not buying it. You don’t grow a spine after the fact. It shows how clueless and powerless you were. Fool.
