Federal judge: Let doctors into child migrant detention centers, quickly
cnn.com
“…Gee, who sits on the federal bench in California, made the ruling Friday, despite Attorney General William Barr and other defendants’ request that the court “set a schedule for briefing these issues that provides defendants with a full and fair opportunity to respond to the allegations that plaintiffs have lodged against them.”
Gee set a deadline of July 12 for the parties to “file a joint status report regarding their mediation efforts and what has been done to address post haste the conditions described.”
…………
“The Court has already issued several orders that have set forth in detail what it considers to be violations of the Flores Agreement,” Gee wrote in her Friday ruling. “Thus, the parties need not use divining tools to extrapolate from those orders what does or does not constitute non-compliance. The Court has made that clear beyond peradventure.”
Judge Gee very politely telling the government to stop fucking around.
agreed.

In addition to slaughtering diplomats at will, Kim Jong Un, Trump’s buddy, reportedly has more than 50,000 Christians in concentration camps, which is something to keep in mind when Republicans pretend their concerns are religious.

And being a Trump she’s completely clueless about what an embarrassment she is.
The cult that I picket has a podcast called “Cultish”, where they talk about cults and why these cults are so wrong. It should not surprise you in the least that their only standard for judgment is “Do they match up with our belief system?” Not “are they abusing people? hoovering money out of their wallets? teaching them crazy shit that has real world consequences?” Nope, it’s “are they Calvinist like me?”
Some weeks back they interviewed a woman who left the Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry in Redding, California because she’d been converted over to Calvinism. So they did three podcasts with this woman talking about how Bethel is so, so wrong according to their interpretation of the Bible. One guy came by the “Cultish” YouTube page and left this:
Anyway, I regularly check this FB and post there. So I posted and pointed out that yeah, the guy is right. Their only criteria for “is it a cult?” is “does it match with our doctrine?” I proceeded to talk about Steven Hassan’s “Behavior, Information, Thought, and Emotional control” (or BITE) model and leave links to it. (Yes, I did do this four times.) freedomofmind.com
That was OK…until I posted a link to Robert Jay LIfton’s “Eight Criteria for Thought Reform.” Then I got blocked from posting and ALL of my posts were removed.
So I thought I’d bring the “Eight Criteria for Thought Reform” to them. I’m not going to hold these on a sign. Nope, I’m going to park my SUV in front of the church and tape these to the windows. Because I’m mean like that. (Never thought my SUV would serve another purpose besides chaperoning my mother places.)
I will be holding signs calling them out as a cult, and will somehow manage to wedge in a sign or two that their newly installed pastor/elder is a stone racist. I’m also making plans to be out there for the entire time they’re in church (something like 3 hours). Most of the time will be in the SUV, where I’ll turn on the A/C at times and drink water from a cooler. But when they’re entering or leaving, I’m going to be in front of them.
Don’t mess with me, I’ve been doing this for decades. Legally.

It’s because they don’t actually believe the praise of the working class. They just use them as a bludgeon against their enemies and the policies they despise. Just like they use the poor and veterans as bludgeons against immigrants. Just like they use mental health concerns as a bludgeon against gun control. Just like they use religion as a bludgeon against abortion and women’s health in general.

They like to harp on her tending bar; they never mention her education.
from wikipedia:
Ocasio-Cortez attended Yorktown High School, graduating in 2007. She came in second in the Microbiology category of the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair with a microbiology research project on the effect of antioxidants on the lifespan of the nematode C. elegans. In a show of appreciation for her efforts, the MIT Lincoln Laboratory named a small asteroid after her: 23238 Ocasio-Cortez.
And she graduated cum laude from BU, with a double major in IR and Econ.
Kind of sad that bartending pays better than the kinds of jobs where that degree is a qualification.

True. One of my co-workers needed health insurance for her children. She complained that she was not making what her bartending brought in.
re: #29 Eclectic Cyborg
Beyond that, it says a lot about the value and meaning of science.
These ancient cultures could well have had a lot of technological achievements, but they had no means of recording, sharing and building on their cumulative acquired knowledge.
That is one of the most important things that science gave us.
And without those structures, I am sure that a lot of this knowledge was lost and left only traces and hints of what they achieved or could have achieved.

The racist underpinning of “Ancient Astronauts” claims has been one of my themes for over 30 years. Stonehenge was built at roughly the same time as the Great Pyramids. There are few if any claims of alien origin for it. Nobody claims aliens built Notre Dame, which was built at the same time as the “magical” and “mysterious” Inca stonework that features in so many woo claims. The latter are usually linked to advertising for self help metaphysics or scientifically dubious health care products, for some reason. The quacks might claim that Notre Dame is not credited to aliens because we have comprehensive written records of the society that constructed it. That is no barrier to many other woo claims, though. Remember that we have pretty good records of the society that ran Roswell Army Air Force Base in 1947, but those records have been buried under a mountain of commercial hucksterism.

I think that the Air Force was happy to go along with the alien stuff to keep people distracted from what they were really up to, which was testing and further developing equipment that we had confiscated from Nazi Germany…

Of course, the Roswell stories don’t have any racist underpinnings. All of these stories may arise because of a desperation to believe that we are not alone in the universe and that the stories of alien origin/alien contact provide comfort.

The Nazis had nothing to do with the surveillance balloon project that was the real back story at Roswell. Other things the Nazis did not invent:
Liquid fuel rocket (Goddard US, 1926)
Gimballed rocket motor (also Goddard, 1936. Von Braun and his team were aware of this innovation but were never able to use it.)
Hypergolic (self-igniting) rocket propellants (JPL, US, 1942)
Submarine snorkel (Netherlands Navy, 1939)
Turbojet engine (Whittle, UK, 1929)
Cavity magnetron, which was crucial for high resolution radar (UK, 1940)
Proximity fuse (US Navy, 1942) This would have made a huge difference to German air defenses in 1943-45.

Speaking of aliens and UFOs, I have noticed an upsurge of interest in this on the political right, especially out in flyover country as opposed to national GOP thought-leaders like Limbaugh and Alex Jones.
In Lubbock, for example, RWNJ radio host Robert Pratt has taken to prattling about alien visitation and UFOs almost as much as he vilifies AOC and Jussie (still a major devil in RW demonology).
Former Democratic chair turned libertarian nut-bar Todd Klein has also joined the Ufologists, with frequent allusions to Roswell especially.
Pratt, btw, is the one who refers to Bill De Blasio as a communist as casually as though De Blasio were the actual candidate of the CPUSA. Also taken for granted is the Marxist orientation of Clinton and Obama.
This seems odd at first glance, but it actually dovetails well with anti-government dogma, since Roswell happened under FDR acolyte Truman’s watch, and with anti-science agitation, since the notion of back-engineered alien tech denies Earth bound scientists credit for many of their achievements.
re: #39 Shiplord Kirel, Friend of Moose and Squirrel
… the notion of back-engineered alien tech denies Earth bound scientists credit for many of their achievements.
And that’s where you see none of those yokels have much of an engineering background, to put it mildly. I mean, holy jesus batman on a pogo stick, reverse engineering complex tech is often not even all that much less of an involved, complex, bloody brilliant process than independent invention. And that’s not even getting into materials engineering issues (identifying what a substance *is* often doesn’t remotely tell you *how* it’s made, for starters) and pretty much everything to do with producing many complex, modern products.
I mean, you can have perfect knowledge of how modern integrated circuits work but it’s going to teach you precisely the sum of diddly and squat about the photolithography equipment used to make them.
…Yeah, I know, what was I expecting from those folks. Still, though. geesh.
Sheesh! Age can be blamed for everything. Every time I notice a typo in something I’ve written, I have a very brief impulse to worry that it might be attributable to my advanced age. Then I remember that I made the same kinds of errors when I was young. Then I feel bad at the lack of improvement over 50 years of practice.
Otoh, age can serve as a ready made excuse for practically anything. Every foul-up, slip-up, brain-fart, and dumb mistake can be blamed on age. When you’re 25, the reaction to such things is likely to be “WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU? DID YOUR BRAINS FALL OUT?”
Now, at 70, it’s more like, “There, there, it’s all good. Here, sit by the fire and have some milk and cookies.”

I remember Erich Von Däniken pimping his Ancient Astronauts books in the early 70s. He even appeared on Carson’s show multiple times. Rod Serling even did a TV show about his claims.
Then when it came out he was involved in an embezzlement scheme and convicted he sure faded fast.

Very gratifying that Gene is still with us and will participate in the 50th anniversary. Many spaceflight buffs never realized that Gene, the boss of bosses during the flight, was actually younger than the 3 Apollo 11 astronauts.
Former NASA Flight Director Gene Kranz Restores Mission Control in Houston
Gene Kranz may be the most famous flight director in NASA’s history. He directed the actual landing portion of the first mission to put men on the moon, Apollo 11, and led Mission Control in saving the crew of Apollo 13 after an oxygen tank exploded on the way to the lunar surface.
Now Kranz, 85, has completed another undertaking: the reopening of Mission Control at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston.
The room where Kranz directed some of NASA’s most historic missions, heralding U.S. exploration of space, was decommissioned in 1992. Since then, it had become a stop on guided tours of the space center, but fallen into disrepair. Kranz has led a $5 million dollar, multi-year effort to restore Mission Control in time for the 50th anniversary of the first moon landing on July 20.

You’d probably need to look for a town/city with a decent college in it which might also supply a bit of a liberal bastion to make the area more tolerable.
When my mother moved back east for Oregon in the mid-90s she picked Meadville, PA to look for an apartment in. Was equidistant to people see wanted to visit, had a decent college in it (Allegheny) and was a bit of a cultural center for that area of northwest PA. And was close enough to Pittsburgh that she could drive down and use the airport there for travel. (Though she usually came down and stayed with me the night before traveling since I could give her a ride into downtown where she could get a shuttle to the airport.)
Holy Crap! MEADVILLE? That’s where I went to college, where my Mom and one sister went to college, where Mrs. FBW and I met and she seduced me.

Went for a nice ride today. It was a beautiful day for it, especially if I’d started an hour earlier so Cañada Road northbound wasn’t a slog into a headwind!
Two things happened. First, I heard THE LOUDEST FREEWHEEL EVER! Coasting downhill with that guy behind me sounded like being chased by bees!
Second, I passed a younger woman (younger than me, anyway.) Southbound on Cañada on a slight decline, who was going about 2 mph slower than me. A mile later, on an incline, she passed me, going about 2 mph faster.
I thought, “That’s okay. She’s younger and she has stronger legs.”
She gained about 50 yards on me before the crest. On the downhill again, without even pedaling, I quickly re-closed the gap.
I thought, “That’s okay. I’m fatter and I have better hubs.”
Then for the next mile and a half which is mostly flat, she was about 5 yards ahead of me, going almost exactly the same speed I wanted to go. I did everything I could to make sure I wasn’t slipstreaming her, but we were just rolling along in tandem. Finally I decided that I’d better pass her or she’d think I was just a Dirty Old Man!
It’s rare to find another cyclist who wants to go the same speed. It’s annoying if it’s an attractive woman and she’s right in front of you and you’re trying not to be creepy, but you also don’t want to seem to be a macho asshole who can’t stand being passed by a GURL!
Anyway, I hope she wasn’t creeped out. I’m a nice guy, really!

Apparently international diplomacy is no longer about years of careful negotiations and iron-clad treaties, but instead publicity stunts that accomplish little but help the media sell their “reality TV” narrative.

It boggles me… that if the only acceptable Democratic candidate for President has to be one that comes out in opposition to Israel (and not just a particularly onerous policy of the current Israeli government)… that people believe such a candidate can be elected in the US in 2019.
I’m hardly a Zionist myself, but in the era of Trump where American policy is to torment children and families, and to destroy the essential safety nets in our society, and to reinstate segregationist policies and to curtail voting rights… I really don’t care about minor but intractable international conflicts.
I fear that narrow ideological campaigns will become a tripping point for the Democratic party, when the big picture demands we look at the health of American society and politics as a whole.

Congressman Duncan Hunter’s defense lawyers Friday asked a judge to bar federal prosecutors from using evidence of infidelity in the criminal case against Hunter, who is accused of improperly spending $250,000 in campaign dollars on personal expenses.
Prosecutors recently filed motions alleging Hunter spent campaign donations on hotels, trips, meals and drinks to support extramarital affairs he had with at least five women.

- won’t start a war;
- doesn’t make graft and corruption into some sort of honor;
- won’t try to take away voting rights;
- won’t make cruelty the basis for how we treat migrants.
Please don’t burden me with all the hobby issues of conflicts around the world, that become fashionable for a season in some society circle.

but why? I don’t know.
Just another little mystery
Of life I suppose.
It exposes and hides,
What nature keeps deep inside.
Sometimes it’s quite narrow,
others it stretches out wide.
It ebbs and it swoons,
By the will of the moon.
The old cosmic dance,
To a long ago tune.
It’s the unflappable motion,
from the heart of the ocean.
And to the grains of sand
Shows its quiet devotion.

March FavoritesYou've seen these all already but looking back, just because. These are my favorite shots of this last month. That 1937 Zeiss Sonnar is such a gloriously wonderful bit of glass. Thanks for looking.
