Who knew that a “harp guitar” was a thing?

The writer HL Mencken coined the word BIBLIOBIBULI in 1957 to mean ‘people who read too much’.

The Kinks - Better Things

Here’s wishing you the bluest sky,
And hoping something better comes tomorrow.
Hoping all the verses rhyme,
And the very best of choruses to
Follow all the doubt and sadness.
I know that better things are on the way.

Here’s hoping all the days ahead
Won’t be as bitter as the ones behind you.
Be an optimist instead,
And somehow happiness will find you.
Forget what happened yesterday,
I know that better things are on the way.

It’s really good to see you rocking out
And having fun,
Living like you just begun.
Accept your life and what it brings.
I hope tomorrow you’ll find better things.

I know you’ve got a lot of good things happening up ahead.
The past is gone it’s all been said.
So here’s to what the future brings,
I know tomorrow you’ll find better things.

Happy New Year to all my Lizards.

The NYT, as a company, clearly wants to find a way to make money in the Trump era.

This accomodation of the idiot Trumpers is hardly limited to the NYT. I listen to podcasts where clearly the hosts/speakers go out of their way to avoid speaking the plain truth about Trump’s support, even if statistically the minority of the actual population actually like Trump.

I was surprised to find I have a small AdSense balance, from putting AdSense on my hapless website.

Google seems intent on thrashing what it invents.

The reduction in the amount of information on the screen is clearly driven by small mobile device users.

But for those using a large desktop display, it just makes us scroll/click more.

The writer HL Mencken coined the word BIBLIOBIBULI in 1957 to mean ‘people who read too much’.

Henry Louis Mencken (September 12, 1880 - January 29, 1956) was an American journalist, satirist, cultural critic and scholar of American English.

On November 23, 1948, Mencken suffered a stroke, which left him aware and fully conscious but nearly unable to read or write and able to speak only with difficulty. After his stroke, Mencken enjoyed listening to Classical music and, after some recovery of his ability to speak, talking with friends, but he sometimes referred to himself in the past tense, as if he were already dead. During the last year of his life, his friend and biographer William Manchester read to him daily.

Tonight my band was supposed to bring in the New Year outside, on a trailer, covered by a tent, with patio heaters tonight on the street in a nearby town. It was cancelled early this week. Before we got 2 inches of snow. The vendors who were supplying the said trailer, tent and heaters with a generator and a big VIP party tent cancelled due to concern over the weather. Right now it is 7 degrees. At 9PM, which would be our start time, after we almost died setting up, it’s supposed to be warming up to 8 degrees but the wind will drop the feel to 10-15 below. I can live with the loss of money. And keep my fingers. I think we dodged a bullet.
I would be really upset if my guitar exploded. I can see drums splitting in my minds eye. I can see whisky. Lots of whisky.
I can also see because I’m not going to be out in that.
Slainte.
Update; It is now 3 degrees. I may have underestimated this.
And where will they store the bodies at Times Square?

“…Adrenochrome is real. It is synthesized by oxidation of adrenaline (epinephrine) in the adrenal glands. Medically, adrenochrome is used to reduce capillary bleeding. It may create mild euphoria, but there really are no psychoactive effects documented from this drug.”

“…The true, boring nature of this chemical has not stopped popular culture from running with it. There are bands and songs by this name as well as mentions in many song lyrics and movies. This chemical is available for purchase in powdered form, something to remember before you cut the adrenal glands out of your neighbor.”

I suppose it’s vaguely possible that when you put that many people in that tight a space, plus whatever warmth drifts out of the subways… it’ll be a few degrees warmer than the actual air temperature ten feet up or a block away.

So… up to about 20F?

Shortest wedding I’ve ever been to: My cousin’s fall wedding in October one year. The day before, everything was picturesque and beautiful. The morning of dawns… 20 degrees. All the leaves have fallen, the flowers are closed up. The bridesmaids refused to get out of the limo in their beautiful strapless dresses. My mom, saint that she is, threw an impromptu back-up reception at her house because the bride and groom had no backup plan for what was intended to be an outdoor-only event.

Note: the description of “Adrenochrome” matches that delivered by Anthony Burgess and Hunter S Thompson in fiction…not the actual neurotoxic substance, which might cause euphoria, but most absolutely fucks you ups in ways that suggest schizophrenia.

ETA: the italicized part is from Wikipedia, and on further pursuit I’m skeptical of that entry, but I’m going to not edit it out of my statement because it’s been up long enough that it’s better to just admit the lazy use of citation rather than change it.

Kind of like how the rest of Pizzagate echoes the details present in the Satanic Panic arrests/trials (down to the fictive basement featured in the McMartin Preschool case, I think?)…this is not free invention or making shit up. It’s taking a mix of actual fiction, conspiracy-theory story-as-truth, and urban myth to create a narrative that sounds familiar, and thus might have some validity.

NYPD dogs feel the bite of near-record NYE temps

Not everyone froze their tail off in Times Square by choice.
The NYPD brought a contingent of police dogs to the Crossroads of the World as part of its massive New Year’s Eve security crackdown — but didn’t put them in winter coats!

The Post spotted three German Shepherds and a Belgian Malinois braving Sunday’s cold as they trotted and jumped alongside their human partners, while the mid-afternoon mercury hovered around 15 degrees with a wind-chill of just 1 degree.

Beautiful animals, my husky lab mix will either lay on the picnic table all day or stand in my frozen above ground pool.

About 10 years ago, I had a friend in Dallas (originally from Louisiana) that I had talked into visiting MN just before Christmas. About a week before he was going to come up he had to cancel because he got too busy at work. We were both kind of glad he bailed because that week was as cold as it is this weekend. He dodged a bullet and it would have been a pain trying to justify why I live in such a place.

The next time I visited him there was an ice storm, and he had gotten back together with his awful ex-boyfriend so that was the end of my trips to Dallas.

Namely, it looks like the new History layout. And the edit function pops up the horrible little window that looks just like the Youtube Share pop up window.

Why, Google, why?

I come firmly down on the side of punching fucking Nazis, and I always will. I understand the arguments for non-violence and I can only envy the supreme grace it must take to read this list [the list of those killed by white supremacists and Nazis this year in the USA] and not feel such rage welling up somewhere deep inside you that rules be damned there won’t be a fucking Nazi that is safe in America until they’ve learned to stay under their rocks in the shadows where they belong. I lack that kind of grace.

On a personal note, I did at least achieve my 1000 miles run (and then some) this year. Onward to higher mileage goals!

Faux providing a click-bait headline for an already shitty NYT article. TL;DR, donors gave Hillary’s lawyer $500k to provide security and support for any women who came forward. None did, though one demanded $2m and was turned down. After the election, the money was refunded, minus a few thousand for expenses.

Quarter after eight in Mythical Time Zone.

Fortunately I live in a somewhat sane area as far as chowderheads firing guns into the air on New Year’s (no one does that here).

I was visiting my grandmother several years ago in Florida. I was out on the screened porch talking with my step-father when someone fired a gun into the air. The bullet came down through her porch roof, hit the cement floor between us (about eighteen inches from each of us), and buried itself into the cement.

We called out the sheriff, who made a big deal about coming into the area with lights and sirens (likely to stop the nuts with guns from continuing to shoot into the air). The deputy took a report, but there really wasn’t much they could do other than pry out the bullet from the cement (that took them some time).

Another time someone sent up fireworks over my yard and set my clothesline on fire (lesson not to have clothes up on New Year’s Eve).

Truthfully, the most beautiful (and terrifying) winter scape I ever saw was returning from a winter retreat along the shores of Lake Mille Lacs. The ice breakup there results in a terrifying display of nature’s power, as the melting lake water forces the ice floes ashore to breach the beaches. It’s scary as all get out, but it’s worth seeing for anyone who isn’t used to life in the winterlands.

Ok, so tonight I’ll happily take advantage of all of 1) It’s good to be friendly to you local police & 2) a bit of my white male privilage & 3) military brotherhood.

The chief of our small town pd came into the store for coffee. We got talking. He did 8 years in the Corps & I did 16 in the Army. I commented I have to walk home because of the truck. He’s like “It’s already -15F”. “Yeah, but I have a backpack full of extra layers”. scribble. “My private number. Call when you get done. If I’m not busy I’ll give you a ride. I got that ride home and I’m toasty now instead of being about a 1/3 of the way hoofing it. Good to be on speaking terms with the Chief but hopefully I won’t need to talk directly to him for anything anytime soon… (dare I say, John(ny) be good, now?)

For all you cannabis enthusiasts in California, doing dabs or smoking shatter - if done properly, usually requires a mini blowtorch and a water pipe - will get you *fucking stoned* right quick, I don’t care how long you’ve been smoking the stuff. Enjoy the legalization, it’s certainly a trip! I still kind of pinch myself when I go to the weed store, and I’ve been going for three years!

re: #282 klys (maker of Silmarils)

Lots of references to “globalists”, is apparently against the anthem protests happening at the NFL, and allergic to paragraph breaks, it appears.

Let’s see how I’m doing with the figuring out what the refurbed, rebadge and repainted version of old canards are…

Judenbolschevismus => Kulturbolschevismus => Kulturmarxismus => Cultural Marxism.

Sexualbolschevismus => Gaystapo, Gay Lobby, Gay agenda.

The canard which accuses Jews of trying to control the world, but also graphic imagery depicting Jews, or their supporters, as trying to control the world. Examples of this imagery include Nazi cartoons that depict Jews as octopuses, encircling the globe. A more recent example is the 2001 re-printing of Henry Ford’s antisemitic text, The International Jew in Egypt, with the same octopus imagery on the front cover.

Gets transformed into accusations of globalists trying to control the world, but also graphic imagery depicting globalists, or their supporters, as trying to control the world. Examples of this imagery include conspiracy theorist cartoons that depict globalists as octopuses, encircling the globe.

A canard found in The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, but dating to before that document, is that Jews are more loyal to world Jewry than to their own country. Since the establishment of the state of Israel, this canard has taken the form of accusations that Jewish citizens of countries such as the United States are more loyal to Israel than to their country of residence.

Gets transformed into A canard found in alt-right conspiracy theories, but dating to before them, is that Muslims are more loyal to Islam than to their own country.

And it goes on and on… And some are too blind to see that they are being fed the same old toxic waste, only refurbed and rebadged, and with a snazzy new paint job. And these are only the handful of canards and myths I can easily transform.

For more: Antisemitic canard (Wikipedia)

Remember New Year’s when the ball dropped and Guy Lombardo would fire up the band as a kid…

Guy Lombardo lived on the same street as I did when I was in high school (damn I’m old).
I have no good memories of either him or the horrible place I lived then.

I don’t say this because she’s wearing it, it’s just fucking awful. There is definitely a segment of fashion that is devoted to putting out shit like this and it’s all awful.

To 2018 and the work we’re going to do to make it a better year.

And to whatever personal victories people might have had in 2017. The year was a dumpster fire, sure, but we also survived it and had our own milestones along the way.

If I didn’t have to pay the rent, purchase foodstuffs and toiletries,. take milady out to a show on occasion, and buy rounds for my friends and aforementioned milady, I’d sleep until the morning of November 6, 2018, specifically when the local polling station opens.

To expand on this, and this is roughly remembered: the citrus notes were great. DON’T add lime; it is better without it. Unique, but very sippable. Not a gin that draws a huge amount of attention to itself but plays nicely with the tonic. (Versus, say, Monkey 47 which is just like HERE I AM LISTEN TO ME which I am not the biggest fan of.)

Maybe we will go back to the place that had a bottle of it tomorrow. After my run.

Watching “Train to Busan,” a Korean zombie film, and while it’s generally good and tense, it’s an especially egregious version of the zombie virus having incredibly dramatic timing with regard to when the infection matures into zombie status.

Like, those protein-shelled DNA strands (or, plot twist, RNA strands) must have taken a filmmaking class.

My company closes down over Christmas, so I’ve been off all week. Once I got over whatever hit me on Christmas Eve, I’ve been taking Rango for longer walks in the park. Today, last walk of 2017, I decided to try climbing Sugarloaf Mtn, which the park is at the foot of.

Here we are, about 2/3 of the way up. Picture doesn’t really convey the steepness.

Come on, Hooman. You can breathe when we get to the top!

I have a bottle of the Monkey; it hit big about 3-4 years ago now and has a name. In my personal gin classification system, it is firmly in the “statement” category and I have a strong preference for the “sippable” category so.

I really need to start writing this shit down.

mr. klys gave me a gin advent calendar for our anniversary …and then a single note juniper calendar (with the juniper grown in various locations) for Christmas. So I’ve been working through lots of new gins on a sporadic basis. Been doing the impressions on Twitter, the thread is here if you want to monitor that.

He was down for about a week, but recovered quickly. It’s hard for a constitutionally happy dog like Rango to stay sad for long. He’s growing accustomed to being an Only Dog, and graciously accepting all the extra love and scritches he gets from us, for our own comfort.

Damn. Some joker is firing off from the sounds of it almost in front of my house.

My sis-in-law had a neighbor directly across the street from her house, a fine flabby example of the species peckerwoodus americanus, who every new year at the stroke of midnight would run, nay stumble drunkenly, out of his front door and let loose with a few blasts of his ~~substitute for nobody ever wanting to ever have sex ever with him~~ shotgun. He died a couple of years ago. Needless to say, he is not missed by his former and much mellower neighbors.

re: #231 Barefoot Grin

My 2017 pet peeve is the use of the “that” for “who.” It should be, “Literally all the people who….”

A grammar lesson that has been forgotten.

That is all.

The ESL textbooks we use here are published in the USA, and suggest that “that” may be used as a replacement for “who.” The books avoid the whole “who-whom” issue altogether. I’ve forgotten what my former UK-published texts advised, but I’m pretty sure they insisted “who” is for people and “that” is for everything else.

Anyway, I told my students that grammar texts often disagree, as grammar rules are almost always descriptive, not proscriptive. Grammar evolves, and it seems the popular consensus allows “that” for people and speakers are avoiding “whom” because no one can remember when it should be used anyway.

Back the day, I remember grammar purists bewailing the use of “impact” as a verb, and the construction “impactful” as an adjective. Now, no one bats an eye.
