I admit I’m a sucker for this song and likely to post anybody who does an even halfway decent version, but Antoine Boyer’s version is way more than decent. He takes it to places unseen.

Very happy to start collaboration with Collings Guitars ! Here is the great ‘Eastside Jazz LC model’, with a Mama Pickups ‘Historic 57’ humbucker and Boss OC-3 pedal on some parts.
Merry Christmas !

Caught a few seconds of Bill Maher because I couldn’t change the channel fast enough. He had this poll up:

It’s a poll of young adults.. I suspect that some of that is based on awareness by whites of what blacks are going through without having some context of the changes happening, but I also think it’s about young whites being disillusioned with what they were told growing up - you can get ahead with college - compared to reality.

But somehow, according to Maher, this was all about whites hating themselves, leading to bad policies like all black dorms. Say what?

I watched the Maher show. and the piece seemed to be more about the fact that we have made a lot of progress in the last few years. He made it clear that we still have work to do. Like most of Maher, I agreed up to a point. If we don’t celebrate the wins (gay marriage, blacks voting strong in GA), we will defeat ourselves.

the problem that Maher leaves out is that conservatives will always agree that we don’t need to do anymore while at the same time making it harder for people to vote.

I think his point was that whites are too pessimistic (perhaps true), but Maher always takes the argument too far.

So I’m wondering on what the odds are for receiving a visit from the angry spirit of Beckie tonight. I went through her spice cabinet and tossed 95% of what was in there.
Though in my defense, some of that stuff was at least 10 years old LoL.*
I also truly believe that I met the spirit of the rule* as I replaced most of them with ones I purchased during my forced exile in Jackpot. The ones that didn’t get replaced were the ones that I never used.

* The RULE was I could add or replace a spice, with her approval. I could never remove one. And once I added a spice, it was hers and was there for evermore. :-)

In other news, I think I caught a break in my search for a Scamper trailer. Came across a 70s Dodge Sportsman for sale. 76K miles. He wants 5K and if it is in as good as condition as he claims, I am going to make an offer.

*Edit* The pic is of a model similar to what I am looking at buying..

Browsing the news, and looks like a serial killer has been uncovered in the Mexico City area:

Investigators digging under the house of a suspected serial killer on the outskirts of Mexico City said Saturday they have found 3,787 bone fragments so far, apparently belonging to 17 different victims.

Prosecutors in the State of Mexico, which borders Mexico City, suggested the grisly finds may not end there. In excavations carried out since May 17, authorities have dug up the floors of the house where the suspect lived. They now plan to extend the search to the soil beneath several other rooms he rented out on the same property.

ID cards and other possessions from people who disappeared years ago were found at the junk-filled home, suggesting the trail of killings may go back years.

The number of bone fragments found underneath concrete floors at the suspect’s home would imply the corpses may have been hacked into tiny pieces. That could make sense: the suspect, identified by prosecutors only as “Andrés,” was formerly a butcher and in fact sectioned and filleted his last victim.

yahoo.com

“…and in fact sectioned and filleted his last victim”? JFC, looks like meat’s back on the menu 😲 This leaves me wondering if he pulled a Carl Grossman, a German serial killer who butchered his victims and sold them as black market meat.

That story the other day about that botched putsch in Jordan, the one that involved the king’s half-brother? It wasn’t just Kushner and Trump apparently involved in that….

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was involved in a Saudi and U.S. pressure campaign on Jordan over the past three years, which among other things attempted to lower the standing of the country’s King Abdullah II, the Washington Post reported Friday.

The account is based on columnist David Ignatius’ discussions with current and former officials with knowledge of former U.S. President Donald Trump’s Middle East policy. He cites one U.S. source with close ties to Jordan’s king, who said that Trump’s “Deal of the Century” Middle East peace plan involved trying to undermine Abdullah’s prized role as custodian of Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa Mosque, with the support of Netanyahu and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

Like most of Maher, I agreed up to a point. If we don’t celebrate the wins (gay marriage, blacks voting strong in GA), we will defeat ourselves.

the problem that Maher leaves out is that conservatives will always agree that we don’t need to do anymore while at the same time making it harder for people to vote.

I think his point was that whites are too pessimistic (perhaps true), but Maher always takes the argument too far.

So Maher did post the bit on his Twitter account, which here:

Honestly, what I’m hearing is a long-winded “Kids these days” gripe that I’m sure Bill heard more than once growing up during the Civil Rights movement. White folks of his parents and grandparents generations defending Jim Crow by arguing that it was “better” than slavery had been a century prior. Insisting they weren’t “racist” before responding with disgust to Loving because they’d been raised to think of miscegenation as a sin.

Maher mentions how gay marriage is now the law of the land, but doesn’t mention that it’s still under constant court challenge. Or that gay couples are still finding resistance to everything from marriage licenses to wedding cakes. Hell, the ink on Obergefell wasn’t even dry when Kim Davis decided to throw her little tantrum about issuing marriage licenses to gay couples with the words “Under God” on the paper.

The argument that things are “better” is what allowed the Roberts Court to strike down portions of the VRA in Shelby, arguing that racism “isn’t a problem” like it was in the 1960s and so there’s no need for preclearance anymore. Well, who could have guessed it, but all the racist assholes who’d been held back from discriminating against voters based upon race started discriminating again. And they’ve cranked it to 11 now that their God-Emperor lost because black folks showed up to the polls.

The basic message Maher’s conveying is “You won because the majority of people are on your side!” But when has that ever been the case?

Joe sees himself as the “hero” in all this, a delusion that Mitch is all too happy to keep feeding into. Way he sees it, the party’s making a big mistake by embracing “socialism” rather than settling (as they have in the past) for whatever bread crumbs the Senate Repubs are willing to throw their way. That when Mitch tells him that the voters are gonna be angry next year over “runaway debt” and going to punish Dems for spending “too much,” Joe buys into it because he remembers 2010 and figures it will happen again unless he’s there to restrain his colleagues.

So what happens next year if Dems lose because voters felt they weren’t doing enough to keep their campaign promises? Joe puffs out his chest and declares that the party should be thanking him for opposing touching the filibuster, because think of how horrible things might have gone if the Repubs took power without it still the…oh, look, Mitch is calling a vote to abolish the filibuster.

With Keystone XL pipeline nixed, Nebraska advocates look to next steps

Omaha World-Herald

Although Nebraska Native Americans, farmers, ranchers, hunters, and environmentalists were finally successful in TC Energy’s decision to scuttle the Keystone XL Pipeline, the fight is not over.

TC Energy owns a number of easements in the state, and sixty other court cases are still in the courts to oppose eminent domain condemnations by the company. None of those have been dropped here, and there is concern that TC Energy will sell the easements to others rather than cede the land back to the landowners and tribes so they can recoup losses or make a profit.

The state Public Service Commission (which regulates pipelines) cannot rescind the route approval on its own; it must either get a court order or a vacancy from TC Energy. TC Energy has not filed to vacate the route over the Ogallala Aquifer and the Nebraska Sandhills.

Bold Nebraska and the Ponca Tribe will launch action at court Monday to abandon the route and order the PSC to revoke it. We’ll see if TC Energy chooses not to contest it, or tries to hang on anyway (meaning they’re either holding out for another R president or will sell off easements to others).

Somebody posted that on FB. The other thing he overlooked is that there are a lot of people working really hard to overturn the gains we have made in personal freedoms, women’s, minority and LGBT rights over past decades and that we cannot take these things for granted any more than Soviet citizens in the 50’s could take the post-Stalinist Thaw for granted…

NC Plantation’s ‘But How Did Emancipation Hurt White People?’ Juneteenth Event Canceled (Wonkette)

Wonkette is writing about a flyer from Latta Plantation promoting an event called “Kingdom Coming.” This is how the flyer reads:

Swing low, sweet chariot, coming for to carry me home!

Come out to Historic Latta Plantation for a one-night event, Saturday June 19, 2021. You will hear stories fro the massa himself who is now living in the woods. Federal troops (Yankees) have him on the run and his former bondsmen have occupied his home and are now living high on the hog. Hear how they feel about being freedmen. The overseer is now out of a job. What will he do now that he has no one to over see from can see to can’t see? White refugees have been displaced and have a story to tell as well. Confederate soldiers who will be heading home express their feelings about the downfall of the confederacy.

Talk about tone-deaf.

There was outrage about every line of that from people in the area, which Wonkette covers with their usual snark.

White People were dispossessed of property that they were not entitled to own in the first place.

Their economy, based on this institutionalized injustice, collapsed.

The war which they fought to maintain this social and economic system based on injustice also wrecked their economy and led to countless deaths.

Time to haul out my favorite Civil War quote from Virginia-born Union general Henry “The Rock of Chickamauga” Thomas:

“The greatest efforts made by the defeated insurgents since the close of the war have been to promulgate the idea that the cause of liberty, justice, humanity, equality, and all the calendar of the virtues of freedom, suffered violence and wrong when the effort for southern independence failed. This is, of course, intended as a species of political cant, whereby the crime of treason might be covered with a counterfeit varnish of patriotism, so that the precipitators of the rebellion might go down in history hand in hand with the defenders of the government, thus wiping out with their own hands their own stains; a species of self-forgiveness amazing in its effrontery, when it is considered that life and property—justly forfeited by the laws of the country, of war, and of nations, through the magnanimity of the government and people—was not exacted from them.”
Report to General Ulysses S. Grant (17 November 1868)

Lubbock, Texas also gets in the news for using the government to promote Christianity.

Curb unconstitutional practices, FFRF tells TX public hospital (Freedom from Religion Foundation)

Multiple concerned University Medical Center community members, including an employee, have reported that the Lubbock hospital displays a huge religious banner on its employee parking structure. The banner says: “Gracious Lord, for all of UMC I pray Your divine protection over them, guidance within them & provision for them daily. — Reverend Wendell Davis. Firm, not fearful.”

(banner shown in a photograph, this sign is huge)

The hospital counters this is an uplifting message during the pandemic, and they had plans to remove it once the pandemic is over.

Several members of the community also noted that University Medical Center also puts out proselytisation videos with the university logo on them.

Local media however is painting this as out-of-town meddlers, not mentioning it was local residents and employees who made the complaint. FFRF does not take action unless a local person makes a complaint.

University Medical Center in Lubbock Responds to Concerns Voiced by Activist Group About Banner’s Message of Support (KFYO radio, Lubbock)

A Midwestern activist group is criticizing Lubbock’s University Medical Center (UMC) over a banner the hospital has hanging from one of its parking garage structures.

The Freedom From Religion Foundation, which is based in Madison, Wisconsin, says it wants UMC to “stop engaging in unconstitutional religious promotion.” UMC says the banner is slated to be removed as the COVID-19 pandemic comes to end.

The banner, which you can see in the photo below, says: “Gracious Lord, for all of UMC I pray. Your divine protection over them, guidance within them & provision for them daily,” - Reverend Wendell Davis. Firm, not fearful.”

(more)

At no point in the article does wingnut talk radio KFYO mention the complaint is by residents and employees.

They do give most of the article to a response from UMC about why this is really an inclusive and uplifting message, and how they recognise diversity in the workplace (then tell those diverse employees and residents to fuque off with their giant banner).

One of the things about living in the South most of my life is that I’ve had the Antebellum South and the Civil War rubbed in my face for ages. I’ve been to the Gray House, I’ve been to the old munitions factory in Richmond, I’ve been to various battlefields and other monuments to our national shame.

And the one thing you keep getting hit with over and over again is that the people who weren’t slaveowners either had ambitions to be slaveowners or were willing to make money off those who were. Slavery was a way of life in the South, there was no facet of life that did not either support or depend upon slave labor. An entire denomination of Christians owes its existence to a theological schism over the morality of slavery. It’s why those who try to defend the South by declaring “Not everybody owned slaves!” tends to torque my jaw somethin’ fierce.

I don’t doubt that there were those who lived in Civil War South who opposed slavery, secession, or both. Just as there were Germans who supported neither the Nazi Party or the Jewish persecution. It’s just funny how none of them spoke up until the white flag started waving.

That is, she recognised her own symptoms as shown on the Zoom call. She was testifying before the Unicameral on behalf of the Alzheimer’s Association when she suffered an aneurysm.

None of the lawmakers recognised her symptoms as a stroke. She was alone in a room at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln at the time.

Germans who spoke up put their lives at risk; in fact, all the ones we’ve heard of died for it. And they couldn’t just leave, not without a German exit visa plus an entrance visa to wherever they hoped to go.

Southerners… could just leave. There was the Northern states, and the Western states and territories, and Mexico and Canada. They wouldn’t have needed any documents or permission at all. Or train fare or a ticket on a ship, they could ride a horse or even walk if they were determined enough.

In the category of “Homeowners’ Associations are made up of petty tyrants”:

A Wisconsin couple couldn’t fly their Pride flag, so they lit up their home like a rainbow (CNN)

The HOA wanted to get rid of those inconvenient Pride flags, aiming at a particular same-sex couple who’d flown one for five years.

They carefully investigated the HOA rules and found that coloured lamps were not prohibited. So the home becomes a lit up Pride flag.

Look for this board of neighbourhood fascists to ban coloured lights next year.

I don’t doubt that there were those who lived in Civil War South who opposed slavery, secession, or both. Just as there were Germans who supported neither the Nazi Party or the Jewish persecution. It’s just funny how none of them spoke up until the white flag started waving.

There were many, many Southerners who did speak up, and much more, during the Civil War. Generals Scott and Thomas and thousands of other Southerners fought for the Union.

Many southern soldiers remained loyal when their states seceded; 40 percent of Virginian officers in the United States military, for example, stayed with the Union. During the war, many Southern Unionists went North and joined the Union armies. Others joined when Union armies entered their hometowns in Tennessee, Virginia, Arkansas, Louisiana and elsewhere. Around 100,000 Southern Unionists served in the Union Army during the Civil War, and every Southern state except South Carolina raised organizations of white troops.

The famous wingnut-offending song Marching Through Georgia devotes a stanza to local Unionists.

Yes and there were Union men who wept with joyful tears,
When they saw the honored flag they had not seen for years;
Hardly could they be restrained from breaking forth in cheers,
While we were marching through Georgia.

re: #11 I Would Prefer Not To

I watched the Maher show. and the piece seemed to be more about the fact that we have made a lot of progress in the last few years. He made it clear that we still have work to do. Like most of Maher, I agreed up to a point. If we don’t celebrate the wins (gay marriage, blacks voting strong in GA), we will defeat ourselves.

the problem that Maher leaves out is that conservatives will always agree that we don’t need to do anymore while at the same time making it harder for people to vote.

I think his point was that whites are too pessimistic (perhaps true), but Maher always takes the argument too far.

Thanks. I just caught that little bit and his last statement was just weird, but I do agree that we need to look at progress just as long as we also realize that we have more to do.

It is a matter of common belief in Russia that the knee-taking is an act of subjugation of the white race to the black one.

Saying the quiet part out loud isn’t just genetic in the Trump family:

The former president’s daughter-in-law suggested residents of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California should arm themselves and prepare for violence.

“And I don’t know what you tell the people that live at the southern border,” she said. “I guess they better arm up and get guns and be ready — and maybe they’re going to have to start taking matters into their own hands.”

My not-very-educated assumption is the effect of the Soviet/Warsaw Pact days. Racism was America’s sin, and it was easy to show Jim Crow and the Civil Rights movement being firehosed. Boo America! Accordingly, Soviets and Eastern Europeans weren’t racist, since America was bad and the East was good. Therefore, there is no need to study your own behavior or treatment of minorities.

I remember watching some Soviet animation about an American Black visiting Russia and seeing how different he was treated. It was pretty funny-not-funny with its super condescending stepin fetchit caricature of a Black person. I guess they were trying, but mostly they had no idea what they were doing.

re: #68 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

What annoys me about Vance’s book is that there’s a really well written book called The Glass House that covers this same topic without conservative bullshit spinning the whole thing. Southeastern Ohio was decimated by large companies(in this case Anchor Hocking, but Goodyear also made a lot of promises, took huge tax breaks, even to the point of taking money for education from the areas where they were major employers) coming in, making communities dependent on them for jobs and benefits, and then they left those areas after decades of employment promises. The fallout from that back in the 1980s is still there today. Most of these areas were at one time part of farm country, promises of higher wages for less work(factory work is hard too, depending on the job), steady wages, and a promise their kids would do better and be better off. Vance’s book talks about none of that. He didn’t live there when this shit happened either, I did. It’s what sent me out of Ohio to the south, where there were jobs, but none of them paid as well as the union job I got laid off from.

I liked the very start of Hillbilly Elegy just because I recall that Appalachian people who moved to our block (in the Industrial Midwest) were an ethnicity unto themselves, different even from the Eastern European or WASP whites who also lived there.

And again, long before the days of “economic insecurities”, those people were pretty damn racist, even back at a time when things were going pretty well for white working-class and lower middle-class males.

One thing that really surprised me on our visit to Prague in 2015, the huge crowds of tourists, almost all of them non-Jewish, who came to visit the Altneu Shul and the old Jewish cemetery.

So many non-Jewish tourists, they were free to roam in the main sanctuary while actual prayer services were held in the Ezrat Nashim (women’s section).

Of course everyone was looking for a way to get into the attic, where the legendary Golem is alleged to rest, but it was sealed up over 200 years ago.

He keeps having guests who agree with him. What I really find offensive is his treating those of us who feel that it’s premature, especially when indoors, to abandon masks as know nothings who deserve ridicule. The anti-maskers have been attacking us from day one — and now they have feel full authority to mock us publicly.

I am now reading Michael Lewis’s new book Premonition and it includes a section highly critical of the CDC, based on the musings of Dr. Charity Dean, the former top health official for Santa Barbara County. She felt that they were too hesitant in dealing with potential health emergencies, not willing to take risks because it might affect their reputation. They wanted to wait for more information — to do a more formal study — but in the midst of a crisis, you don’t have the time to be cautious.

Doktor Zoom discusses a whole-ass article in The New Yorker about this, based on a Twitter discussion thread between lawyers and professors (Twitter is going to kill us all) from a single white law professor who is uncomfortable having his students (some of whom aren’t white) discuss the deeply racist language of that decision.

“Can’t you spare some sympathy for the white folk who fucked around and done found out?”

And within 20 years the same people were essentially back in charge of the southern states. Enter Jim Crow and the sharecropper system. And the latter essentially also got into the rural hill country (mainly white) who were starting to raise cotton as a cash crop as well. And they got sucked into the same financial morass as the blacks.

Though, of course, Jim Crow told them that they were still a better class of people.

Someone who posted on DK* had a similar camper/van and he essentially lived on the road. He came up north in the spring/summer and visited relatives in eastern PA.

Had a solar panel on the top to keep the batteries for his laptop charged and other electrical needs.
