“Utterly stupid:” Samoan PM excoriates climate change sceptics
Samoa’s Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailele has lashed out at climate sceptics and urged Australia to make deeper cuts to carbon emissions, in order to help save Pacific Island nations from climate change.
Mr Sailele told the Lowy Institute in Sydney last night that climate change poses an “existential challenge” to low-lying islands.
He also took a thinly veiled swipe at Australia’s anxiety over China’s rise in the Pacific.

Great. So my nephew and his wife just made a zero down pending offer on an incredibly shitty, extremely overpriced house owned by family friends of hers, and then he immediately started sending not very subtle hints to my Dad, his grandpa, about how strapped they are for money.

This news blurb has one of those scary end-of-the-world vibes about it, that one finds in so many movies:
Abandoned ‘ghost ship’ found off Myanmar coast
Police in Myanmar are searching a large rusty container ship for clues after it was spotted by fishermen mysteriously drifting near the region of Yangon.
Aliens? Killer virus? Time-travel??
The ship’s location was last recorded off the coast of Taiwan in 2009.
“There was no sailors or goods on the vessel.”
According to the Marine Traffic website, which lists the movements of ships around the globe, the vessel was built in 2001 and had a deadweight of 26,500 tonnes.

If we’re not going with the alien ghosts idea, then the down-to-earth explanation is that the ship drifted out to sea from a Bangladeshi scrap yard.

While it has been a very active hurricane season in the Pacific, the Atlantic has been oddly quiet.
However, last week one of the models (Canadian) used in forecasts was showing a storm forming around PR and moving west and then into NOLA during the first week of September.
Then the models dropped that idea.
Now the Canadian model and the ECMWF (which is the model most used for storm tracking once a storm has formed) are both showing that by next week a tropical storm will wander into the Gulf of Mexico. The GFS model shows a weak depression going into Louisiana, while the ECMWF shows a hurricane going to NOLA then heading west to Houston and hanging around Texas for a couple of days, while the Canadian model shows the hurricane heading straight for southern Texas.
So just be forewarned. The models are not always correct of course, but so far they are doing pretty good this year in predicting the plethora of storms in EastPac.

Hey, it works for Ash.
So, I’ve been binge-watching GoT.
When it appeared I tried the first episode but was turned off by the midget sex so I ignored the series.
After watching most of the episodes - I’m now in the middle of the seventh season - it seems my initial inclinations came true, that a non-trivial portion of the show is about soft-core porn. Now, I’m not particular prudish, but HBO made its mark in the early days of cable by showing naked bodies and having language that could not be broadcast. HBO was known for doing its best to try and skirt the codes that had long dominated in prurient America.
Anyway, to me the show peaks in season 5, with several episodes with great videography and powerful stories.
Season 6 felt more like a denouement in some of the episodes.
After the first two episodes of season 7 it feels to me as if the writers are having to recycle material. There are only so many ways to package naked women into scenes, and only so many variations of warfare battles to show how bloody death can be.
And the covert racism is strong in the series. Now, the overt bigotry portrayed on screen is supposed to be, I suppose, some sort of morality lesson.
But the under-the-storyline biases are very real, too.

re: #39 freetoken

But the under-the-storyline biases are very real, too.
Sword&sorcery novels and flicks tend to appeal to people with at least some kind conservative mindset, who relish in tales of autocratic leaders and hierarchical, feudalistic societies. As GoT is based loosely on European history, the characters tend to be European in appearance and culture, with the usual kind of European disdain for “others.” Notably, the only PoC are in Daenyrus’ realm, the slaves she has freed and her husband’s pseudo-Mongolian kindred, who are joining her in invading Westeros. Now, *there’s* a commentary on present-day European attitudes.
I try not take any of GoT too seriously, because it’s fiction, after all. I tried to read the books, but they are too ponderous. The TV version is just about right in pacing. But I’ll be glad when they put the whole storyline to bed this coming season.

re: #43 wheat-dogg
Also, she does classic White-People-Helping-But-Not-Really, at least in the show…
She kills many of the slave owners, and later some ex-slaves come to her and they’re talking about how things are much worse now because she just upended their society without any plan, and how they were always taken care of by their owner because he was actually not horrible.
“What happened to him?”
“You killed him”
“Oh…umm…”
And then an old guy who used to be a slave and a scribe and is now being taken care of in the shelters/charities comes to her and…
“Well, I’m taken care of, but when I was a slave, I had a JOB teaching people and being useful, now I’m just an old guy with nothing to do”
“Umm…maybe I should have thought this through a bit more…”
I really have come to dislike Danny almost as much as Joffrey…HE didn’t bother telling himself that he was the good guy, he just did what he wanted because he was the king. She’ll lie to your face about who she is, because she’s lied to herself that she was the righteous one.

And yes, I know I’m spelling it incorrectly, but Sister Mary Collette in 3rd grade spelled it that way, and I loved her, so I do also. So there.

It was my understanding that what we in America call cantaloupes are just generic muskmelons and real European cantaloupes are unobtainable here. Kind of like cassia bark/cinnamon.

It brings up alot of questions. Anyhow the one thing I thought a lot about my time in Europe in August was how everyone gets on. Personally, and this is why I’m a supporter of the EU, NATO, and internationalism as a whole is that it fosters friendships that transcend borders. I saw people including myself mingle freely with people whose nations had been at war during their grandparents and great grandparents lifetimes.

I have a feeling Trump is being eaten alive by not being at McCain’s funeral.
There were always stories of how hard he tried to be accepted in New York city as a big man power player. It never happened and they say that upset him so.
Maybe in a way running for President was a way to put himself on the map and as a “fuck you” to New York by saying, see I can be something, I am popular I am the Republican candidate for President.
And then he won and he probably thought, I am somebody now…America will always see me as great because all presidents are seen as great.
And for one and three-quarters of a year he has been hammered. And now, he isn’t even invited to a funeral of a man Trump saw as lesser than him.
He can’t be around the other recent presidents and all the Washington power people.
He is being rejected in DC like he was rejected in New York city as not being a player, not part of the power grid.
Yeah, it has to sting. He has to be wondering what can he do to be accepted as a great man, a great leader.
And that is scary to me. Because he may just get pissed off enough about how he is seen that he does something truly crazy to try to be someone.

I very much agree. I think and worry about this a lot.
Per the WaPo’s live coverage:
Meghan McCain, in an emotional and deeply personal eulogy of her father, took a tacit swipe at President Trump several times during her remarks.
But the most pointed was when she said, “The America of John McCain has no need to be made great again, because America was always great” — a reference to Trump’s campaign slogan. Rare for such a solemn gathering, applause rippled through the cathedral for several long seconds, passing over an audience which included Trump’s daughter Ivanka and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who sat stone-faced.

Hate ICE? Just wait till ya read this. They gotta be broken up.
theatlantic.com
Even as some ice officers suffer from a sense of their own impotence, the outside world often depicts them as heartless jackboots. Thomas Homan has described how, as acting director of the agency, he would wake up every morning and read the latest complaints and negative coverage from the American Civil Liberties Union and mainstream media. And those aren’t the only sources of criticism. Most ice agents work in cities. Many of them are themselves Latino or have married an immigrant. As John Amaya, a former deputy chief of staff of ice, told me, “Their kids go to school and hear things; they go to the grocery store and hear shit. They are not immune.”
When I asked how ice responds to complaints and criticism, I was repeatedly told that officers can have genuine qualms about their work. Like any large organization, ice has its share of bad apples. But officials from the Obama administration vociferously countered any notion that ice is teeming with racists. Carlos Guevara, who served as an adviser to the homeland-security leadership, told me, “There are a lot of good officers … And I don’t think a lot of them feel great about picking up abuelita”—someone’s grandmother—“or somebody who’s been here for 20 years, much less being part of a policy separating kids from parents.”
To navigate this moral thicket, ice officers tell themselves comforting stories. The agency was founded, after all, in the aftermath of 9/11, when the government had failed to prevent evildoers from infiltrating the homeland and killing thousands. As one former ice official told me, “You numb yourself by saying everything we do has a national-security focus. By God, if we let this one slip by, it’s the tip of the iceberg. We never know when we’re confronted with the real threat.” The likelihood of that genuine threat, of course, is very much open to debate. Statistically speaking, an immigrant who has lived in the United States for decades, has an immaculate criminal record, and comes from Central America (like many ice targets) poses so negligible a national-security threat that it is virtually nonexistent. No immigrant from the region has ever committed a terrorist attack on U.S. soil, which is something that cannot be said of native-born Americans.

It’s a frigging movie, Marco. Wish you could actually get bothered by things that actually impact people. And when Neil landed, he didn’t say America fuck yeah, he celebrated it for mankind, that thing you so lack since you’re so desperate to be the RNC’s golden boy and btw you forgot the Germans that played a huge role in the space program you pandering shitface.

The things that Little Marco whines about on Twitter versus the things he’s quiet about really say a lot about him and his lack of perspective but as I said, his whole existence in politics is being the RNC’s lame attempt to replicate what the Dems had with Obama. Too bad for both of them that Rubio not only lacks Obama’s intelligence, he lacks Obama’s decency and self reflecting abilities too.
re: #225 Unshaken Defiance

Oh yeah that will trigger em.
I wish there was some Beto O’Rourke in Florida to make Rubio worry about his seat. If Rubio wants to bitch about movies fine, but maybe he should have left his Senate seat to someone actually interested in being a Senator rather than a sorry hack.
Marco is getting himself ready for Marco for President 2020.
He’ll try it again if Trump is still around. He’ll run on some kind of restore the dignity of the office BS.
But he will have done nothing to earn any further attempt because Marco doesn’t do anything. He is as empty a suit as there is. He can’t even piss people off he’s that light of weight.
I don’t want to shit all over McCain on the day of his funeral but too many people are overcorrecting into revisionist history.

Nah, he won’t run in 2020. He’ll try that in 2024 while at the same time trying to get the Trump voters. The man is such an empty suit and fucking coward. Citizens are literally being detained at the border and told that their citizenship is illegitimate including veterans and Marco’s bitching about a fucking Ryan Gosling movie. Marco Rubio again shows that he’s a stupid man’s idea of a serious person. I’m glad he’s showing us that even though Trump is awful that the other Republican contenders two years ago weren’t prizes.
Fucking Trump and his idiotic trade war.
Months ago, I warned this would hike costs of durable goods, particularly washers and dryers (yeah, you can go look it up, I’ll wait).
Well, my washing machine crapped out after 15 years. It happens. Had a full load in and the damned thing wouldn’t drain. Had to wet/dry vac siphon out the water and now I’ve got a full load of soggy clothes. Woot.
So, go over to the local stores to comparison shop. Top rated brand? LG.
Guess what - most of their stuff is unavailable because Trump’s trade war made it impossible to find. Samsung? Not much better (but the quality is much worse as per CR).
Higher costs to consumers, we’re paying for his idiotic trade war.
Fuck him. With a rusty pitchfork sideways.

His only hope is if Trump doesn’t run. Then it may be between him, Pence and Kasich, and probably some Trumpy candidates.

That’s a big reason Trump won the nomination, because all his opponents were empty suits.

Precisely. Rubio is a perfect example of that.
I’m now pretty sure someone is deliberately filing fraudulent policy violation reports against LGF at Google Adsense to try to hurt our ad revenue. I’ve had a dozen of these policy violations in the past week, all for pages critical of Trump or Nazis, reported as “dangerous or derogatory content.” This is a huge time-suck to request reviews and deal with this crap, and there’s no way to flag this kind of harassment.
And Google Adsense revenue has basically collapsed anyway over the past couple of years. It’s like they’re saying, “We’re gonna pay you a whole lot less, and make it even more annoying to run our ads than it already is.” What a deal.

Count yourself lucky. Had a washer that flooded my kitchen several times because automatic fill valves would not CLOSE reliably. Bought replacement valves and installed them. Problem solved, I thought. Less than a week later, the main drive pulley failed. Its two halves were joined by 4 electrical spot welds, each of which was no bigger than a match head.

My pet rat Pinky died of old age this morning. The Brain had died about six months ago.
I used to breed snakes, and the rats were food, but I wound up liking the rats too much, and had to give it up. This is the longest a rat has lived at my place by a large margin. It’s sad, but not misery-inducing like losing a cat or dog.

Well she’s not wrong. If you don’t want swipes to be taken at you, maybe don’t fucking say stupid shit like “I like people who aren’t captured” especially when you spent that war far away from Hanoi as possible. It’s okay to have disagreed with McCain. McCain invited Obama after all to eulogize him but Trump trashed him in a disgusting ugly way that only Trump could have.
