LYRICS:
It is a dance we do in silence, far below this morning sun
You in your life, me in mine, we have begun
Here we stand and without speaking draw the water from the well
And stare beyond the plains to where the mountains lie so still
But it’s a long way that I have come
Across the sand, to find this peace among your people in the sun
Where the families work the land as they have always done
Oh, it’s so far, the other way my country’s gone
Across my home has grown the shadow of a cruel and senseless hand
Though in some strong hearts the love and truth remain
And it has taken me this distance and a woman’s smile to learn
That my heart remains among them and to them I must return
But it’s a long way that I have come
Across the sand, to find you here, among these people in the sun
Where your children will be born
You’ll watch them as they run
Oh, it’s so far, the other way my life has gone
If you look for me, Maria
You will find me in the shade
Wide awake or in a dream
It’s hard to tell
If you come to me, Maria
I will show you what I’ve made
It’s a picture for our lady of the well

BoJo desperately spinning:

Boris Johnson: petrol crisis and pig cull part of necessary post-Brexit transition

Queues for petrol and mass culls of pigs at farms because of a lack of abattoir workers are part of a necessary transition for Britain to emerge from a broken economic model based on low wages, Boris Johnson has argued.

And true to the ideology of the Tory party, the foreign secretary sounding all Republican:

His comments, on the first day of the Conservative conference, came as Liz Truss, the foreign secretary, insisted it was the role of business, not ministers, to sort out such problems.

“I don’t believe in a command-and-control economy, so I don’t believe the prime minister is responsible for what’s in the shops,” Truss told a conference fringe event. “This is why we have a free enterprise economy.”

Sure, a free enterprise economy can fix this. Said free market also could let a million people starve just to fix a supply-demand imbalance.

The Brexit chickens (non-chlorinated so far) are coming home to roost, and BoJo and company are desperate to put a smile on.

And for the Brexiteers who were pushing that a free trade deal with the US will solve problems, same foreign secretary had to spill the beans:

Post-Brexit US trade deal may take a decade to strike, Liz Truss admits

Foreign Secretary Liz Truss has refused to guarantee that the UK and United States will strike a post-Brexit free trade deal by 2030.

An American trade agreement has long been held up as one of the biggest prizes of Brexit but Leave campaigners.

But Joe Biden’s election as US President has made what looked like a realistic hope under Donald Trump now a distant possibility, prompting Ms Truss to insist a UK-US deal was not the “be all and end all”.

[…]

Here’s the deal: Unlike Trump, Biden won’t let an agreement happen without (1) helping the US (which means BigAg and BigPharma can do their thing in the UK), and (2) securing the Good Friday agreement permanently, which means no borders, which means trade checks between NI and the rest of the UK.

The free market supply-and-demand mechanisms was handling these things just fine, until you blocked a large percentage of the supply from being imported, and tossed the laborers who enabled production and distribution of the domestic part of your supply.

The Hillsong cult is going to have to reform its ways because of the trouble they’re having with their supremo leadership. There’s a Hillsong 2 miles down the street from my house, with an attached “college,” and why yes, that’s why I keep an eye on this bunch.

In reckoning with its demons, Hillsong will be forced to move away from what made it powerful
Elle Hardy
Reining in its pastors and dealing with the scandals enveloping the megachurch risks creating a brand that’s bland and bureaucratic

illsong Church is in crisis. Australia’s greatest cultural export - with 131 churches in 30 countries, 150,000 weekly congregants, 50 million churchgoers singing their songs each week, and over three billion YouTube views - has been enveloped in a series of scandals that sound like a biblical parable: the thing that has made it so powerful is what has brought it to its knees.

I’ve spent the last few years researching Hillsong and the wider neo-charismatic Pentecostal movement, and a lot of people have been asking me what’s next. Not being in the market of prophecy, I can’t say for certain. However, Hillsong’s popularity stems from showing believers that they can live Christian lives in a secular world - and now the church’s survival depends on whether it can straddle both worlds too.

To recap the major scandals enveloping Hillsong over the last 15 months (and this is an abbreviated list) explains the cultural tightrope the church has long been walking.

Last June, London preacher Gary Clarke was criticised for dismissive comments about the murder of George Floyd, and has since transitioned into a less prominent European leadership role.

Also, 60 Minutes Australia did an expose on Hillsong two weeks ago, which I may have posted here before but it really is worth a watch.

Brian Houston is scheduled to appear in Aussie court on Tuesday, October 5 (which is late afternoon Monday for us).

It’s a slick video but color be skeptical (because I am skeptical) that anything will be done about it:

Pandora Papers: An unprecedented leak exposes the inner workings of a shadow economy

I’m skeptical because the global community is built around nation states who have created an environment to protect the sheltered havens of money.

It has been known for a very long time that places like Belize exist to serve the exchange of wealth among the very rich, outside the eyes of regulators in the US or the EU.

The only way to stop this is to stop recognizing the sovereignty of Belize, etc. And to make places like Samoa fully part of the US - to which the Samoans will object.

And no one is going to do that.

for Britain to emerge from a broken economic model based on low wages

is fucking hilarious is light of things like Boris’ second-in-command suggesting that the solution to the HGV driver shortage is hiring out prisoners on day release. This is so much of the same horseshit that we hear about how if we just got rid of all the “illegals” here in the States, then businesses would have no choice but to raise wages for everybody. You know, the same people who then scream bloody murder about rising wages leading to “runaway inflation!!!”

Meanwhile, in the real world, one of the bits glossed over in most US history classes is that the Confederate States of America were an absolute political and economic basketcase. Their federal government was really in-name-only since the state governments went so far as to sabotage each other, at least when the cotton farmers weren’t sabotaging the new nation’s economy by imposing an embargo under the belief that the Brits and French would be so desperate for Southern cotton that they’d extend diplomatic recognition to the nascent state.

An all adult selective service (registration) does also set a basis for later legislation to potentially support adult national service or something similar if that is considered something the nation would benefit from having.

My buddy’s younger brother was drafted (rather fraudulently) by his “friends and neighbors”. He was put though overweight hell by the cadre in Basic. By the time his complaints, including a Congressional, got him out Basic was over and he had lost a great deal of weight. A month or so later he was drafted and put through Basic AGAIN validly.

Strictly speaking, fossil fuel subsidies like all subsidies are not traditionally thought of as “conservative”. Subsidies are interventionist into an economy to support sectors of said economy. Agricultural subsidies are the best known of this type, but everything from fossil fuels to fishing have been subsidized.

Queues for petrol and mass culls of pigs at farms because of a lack of abattoir workers are part of a necessary transition for Britain to emerge from a broken economic model based on low wages, Boris Johnson has argued.

The low-wage, poorly educated workers are the last ones who are going to see any benefits out of Brexit.

They are trying to make these shortages and problems seem like something that was inevitable and unavoidable and, in a sick parody of what they accuse “socialism” of, they are calling on private enterprise to fix problems created by government.

If she’d fucking talk to the people who elected her she might not have to worry about being confronted in a bathroom at a college.

No they aren’t, they are citizens who became elected officials, which means she works for The People in her state, ALL of them.

However, the battery for the chainsaw registered no power. So now I am waiting to see if I didn’t seat the battery correctly in the charger, or if the battery has failed.

Btw, the newer battery powered chainsaws are matching the lower end gas chainsaws. (Say 40cc) But the battery still doesn’t have the run time of a gas chainsaw.

On the other hand, battery chainsaws are quieter, stop quicker, don’t require small engine mechanic skills, and are do not require gas-oil mixing nor put out resultant exhaust.

Yup, when the southern states seceded a lot of young men joined up to protect their homes from the “mongrel Northern urban hordes” that were supposed to be coming to rape their livestock and steal their women. (You can still read this kind of crap in current survivalist and rwnj gun propaganda btw.)

As these folks realized that they had been completely had, they started to lose interest in being cannon fodder for rich plantation owners. By the fall of 1864 Jefferson Davis reported that half the Confederate Army was awol.

As the confederate army sent cavalry columns into the hinterlands to round up deserters and confiscate farm food stocks, resistance increased. There were a number of places that were no-go areas to confederate forces in less than brigade strength. The piney woods of Mississippi, the Appalachian Mountains into Northern Georgia, the rural coastal swamp areas of the Carolinas and Georgia.

And while you read about Mosby and other southern guerillas, remember that there were thousands of union guerillas operating from Maryland, Eastern Tennessee and in Northern Georgia.

I ended up getting a DeWalt 16”. It seems to generally do what I need. At least until this afternoon. The batteries, though, are expensive at >$100 each. One thing I do after every use is to sharpen the chain. That makes a big difference.

I do have a pro-sumer echo gas chainsaw, but on my massive suburban estate of 1/3 acre, I have been hard pressed to find a use for it.

About 25 years ago I picked up a corded Makita chainsaw. But it is very under-powered and extension cords of a reasonable gauge are extremely expensive. I don’t recommend corded chainsaws.

also important to note that some of this was just because of demographics. Mountain Republicans in the hills of North Carolina and Kentucky would have had zero use for a bunch of confederate rednecks wandering in. Those places were poor and nobody owned slaves because nobody could have afforded to own slaves. So a war over slavery wasn’t going to attract much sympathy.

The citizens are tired of being lied to. There was a recall movement against Dunleavy last year, but the signature collections collapsed due to the Covid-19 virus.

Facts matter on Alaska’s COVID-19 response

Some of the very first vacuum cleaners were steam-powered and burned coal. Really.

I remember reading about a Victorian-era man’s wedding present to his new wife, a vacuum cleaning of their house. A horse-drawn van with the vacuum cleaner in the back pulled up outside their house and long hoses were led into the various rooms as the steam engine in the back of the van powered the vacuum pump.

Sheer luxury!

First As Tragedy, Then As Farce  Oct 3, 2021 • 3:56:23pm

re: #175 Backwoods_Sleuth

This, to me, is very easy to understand when you accept that the current state of the GOP is literally a cult. “Cult” is not hyperbole.

When COVID first hit, the thoroughly incompetent Dear Leader was caught off-guard, completely unprepared, and had no idea how to react to a genuine crisis during his “presidency”, so he chose to deflect and minimize it. “We have 15 cases, soon going down to zero”, etc etc. Nothing bad could happen on his watch, because that might reflect on him personally. There was nothing more important than his image.

If Trump at any point had ever publicly said, “we have to beat this COVID thing and the way we do that is by wearing masks, avoiding public gatherings, and taking a vaccine as soon as it’s available” all of his followers would have done so and COVID would have by now been a memory of 2020.

Because the country is completely broken (especially the media) and the GOP exists only to serve what it imagines would make Trump and his base of reprogrammable meat puppets happy, NOTHING THAT EXPRESSES OR IMPLIES THAT COVID IS AN ACTUALLY SERIOUS PROBLEM CAN BE ABIDED. If COVID is a real and serious problem, that means Dear Leader was wrong when he failed to treat it as a real and serious problem. Dear Leader cannot be wrong, therefore COVID was and is not a real and serious problem. This is why people die of COVID while using their last choking breath to declare that it’s a hoax.

Comparing it to seatbelt laws, second-hand smoke avoidance, or safe-sex practices misses the point entirely. GOP antivax/antimaskers are not taking a calculated risk that they arrived at rationally after “doing their own research”, regardless of what they might say. They’re just defending the ego of Dear Leader.

re: #186 The Pie Overlord!

OCR’ed the thing:
I’ve had a few interactions recently with people who refuse to get the Covid vaccine. One of their arguments is the 99% survival rate. I came up with this analogy.
You are given two choices. The first choice is to go into a room with 99 other people and draw a marble from a box.
60 people draw a blue marble. A large man then smacks them on the side of the head with a cupped fist and says they can leave. It hurts, but wears off quickly.
30 draw a red marble. They get worked over a bit more—black eye, bloody nose, split lip. But they walk out under their own steam and heal within a week.
9 draw a yellow marble. They get the shit stomped out of them. They do not walk out under their own power. Their injuries take months to heal, and some will never be back to normal.
1 draws a green marble. He’s killed—slowly, clumsily. If he’s lucky, he passes out before the shades go permanently down.
The 2nd choice? Don’t go in the room at all.
Why would anyone pick the first option?

But my son is heavily invested in keeping in touch with friends using it and it’s hard to talk younger people out of it. He has been taking breaks and has deleted Instagram, but he also uses it to promote his YouTube channel which has lots of interviews of metal musicians, album reviews and show sets of different bands. I wish so badly that Facebook was a force of good and kindness, but it’s not, even when you’re really selective about where you go when there.

Socially distant virtual hugs for the Fishfolk.
I’m sorry your family is going through this. You tried your best to persuade them to get vaccinated. You and Mrs Fish did what you could.

re: #201 A Mom Anon

60 minutes has a whistleblower from Facebook who has receipts. It’s a good start, digging into how this platform cashes in on hate and anger, and that is why they won’t mess with it and make it better. They know and they do not give a shit how much harm they do. If you can find it online, watch it. This whistleblower is also testifying before Congress this week, her name is Francis Houghton(I think the last name is right, or close).

I live to serve.

Yes, but we are a minority here. Most people don’t know that Facebook is manipulating them.

And some have to know FB is manipulating them, but JDGAF.
