The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts announced the selection of five Honorees who will receive the 44th Kennedy Center Honors for lifetime artistic achievements. Recipients to be honored at the annual national celebration of the arts in Washington, D.C. are: operatic bass-baritone Justino Díaz, Motown founder, songwriter, producer, and director Berry Gordy, Saturday Night Live creator Lorne Michaels, legendary stage and screen icon Bette Midler, and singer-songwriter Joni Mitchell.

The Kennedy Center Honors celebrates luminaries whose art and creativity have enriched us beyond measure,” stated Kennedy Center Chairman David M. Rubenstein. “An artistic tour de force and America’s Divine Miss M, Bette Midler has enjoyed an unrivaled and prolific career, entertaining millions with her wondrous voice and trademark comedic wit.”

“This year’s Honorees represent the unifying power of the Arts and surely remind us of that which binds us together as human beings. These artists are equal parts genius, inspiration, and entertainment,” said Kennedy Center President Deborah F. Rutter. “After the challenges and heartbreak of the last many months, and as we celebrate 50 years of the Kennedy Center, I dare add that we are prepared to throw ‘the party to end all parties’ in D.C. on December 5th, feting these extraordinary people and welcoming audiences back to our campus. We look forward to shaping an even more exciting Honors program and broadcast with CBS and the producers based on the success and newfound innovations of our 43rd Honors earlier this year.”

Anti abortion states may attempt to prosecute activities engaged in in the state to transport women across state lines to obtain an abortion. If they do we’ll see how that plays out.

The weather situation out here in the Old West is becoming clearer.

Yesterday the weather radio popped off with a Winter Weather Advisory for tomorrow night through Friday afternoon.

The amount of snow and wind may be enough to trigger a blizzard warning later. (Our first was in October of this year.)

It looks like we’re going to be snowed in for the latter part of the week.

Good news—the package that I sent to Maryland to my son on Friday, Nov. 26 finally got there yesterday. It sat in Indy for several days. Kinda makes me think Indy may be overwhelmed; while we lived in Bloomington about 15 years ago the system was changed such that a letter mailed in Bloomington to another Bloomington address was sent 45 miles north to Indianapolis for sorting. If they got hit with DeJoy’s machine destruction and a lot of mail like Bloomington’s gets sent there for sorting, it’s got to have hiccups now and then, esp. with the season and covid as variables. Anyway, the package contained a new debit card that was sent to our address, so it was a relief even though there is no PIN number yet and it hasn’t been activated.

Trump’s new media company is a $1.6 billion mirage
Judd Legum
popular.info

This is just a way for TFG to walk away with about $1B for no work at all, and leave stockholders holding the bag. It is totally Gothick!

The SPAC deal, if it is completed, will earn Trump $10 a share. But the company is currently trading at over $40 a share. How does Trump capture even more of that cash as soon as possible?

While the merger is pending, a SPAC and its target have the ability to privately sell more shares to raise capital. This is called a Private Investment in Public Entity (PIPE). On Saturday, TMTG announced a $1 billion PIPE investment. These shares will be purchased at a substantial discount from the current retail trading price. That means Trump, before TMTG has a single product or subscriber, could collect $1.3 billion.

But who is investing $1 billion in Trump’s virtually non-existent company? TMTG does not say. They identify the source of the cash as “a diverse group of institutional investors.” The identity of the investors is critical in light of Trump’s future political ambitions. He may run for president again in 2024. What if, for example, the investors include the Saudi sovereign wealth fund?

The guard who get vaccinated won’t have this problem; the governor isn’t forcing them not to be vaccinated but telling them they have a choice. The ones that have any brains will evaluate the situation and be vaccinated; those with sense have already been vaccinated; but there may be a few who suddenly are enlightened and take the appropriate measures. The remainder are not people that we want defending our states.

i sent some papers to a client via email in April.
I was waiting for two signatures on two pieces of paper to be returned.
i had a heck of a time getting them.

i re-emailed 5 times
the mom got very sick and was hospitalized - so of course everyone was distracted.
then the daughter, my bff got covid (by accident)
then her husband and mom too.
ok so they were all ‘distracted’

i finally got her to sign and send the forms late in August by texting direct to my phone.
while they were still sick
but she sent one page twice and not the other one!

then a few days later she fixed that.
then i had to beg for to be paid, again.
got a check a month later - in september.

TODAY in the mail i got the original two signed forms and another check!
Did they send them again?
No. in all the delirium, they forgot they sent them to me way back when I was begging (cause of a filing deadline).

what i got TODAY in the mail was a letter mailed from Long Island, NY on 7/1/21.

ckkatz  Dec 8, 2021 • 3:37:01pm

re: #35 Backwoods_Sleuth

Yup, at the individual level:

It sounds like the DoD will remove Federal recognition from all unvaccinated members of the Guard. Basically, they will not be able to participate in any Federally mandated activities nor get any pay for those activities. If they got bonuses for re-enlisting or taking any specialized training, they will have to pay that back.

If they have additional time commitments, they will be placed in the Individual Ready Reserve. The assumption is if they are called for any Federally mandated activities, then they will have to get vaccinated. (Or likely either be booted from the military or jailed for refusing to follow orders.)

And, of course, as mentioned, they will no longer have either pay or career.

At the local level:

I suspect that if the State cannot maintain unit readiness, the Guard units will be transferred out of state. As will the funding. And the additional employment needed to manage and maintain the bases and units.

The highly skilled, like pilots, will be able to commute to the new location. But many of the less skilled will have a harder time. So a lot of salary and pay will be lost. As will other civilian jobs, like maintenance, etc. There are also full-time National Guard jobs. These folks will have to be vaccinated and will have to move.

On the State level:

The Governor loses some political patronage jobs. Risks losing the associated political support. The State also loses a lot of emergency capabilities and support.

The State might try to create a State level organization. But without Federal support, it will not be able to recruit better quality personnel, train them, or pay them as well.

I suspect that imitating Oklahoma and losing Federal recognition was why DeSantis in Florida was looking at creating a State based force.

Good luck! For what little it’s worth, I think you are doing the right thing. Particularly since you have to deal with the public at large.

I decided to get the Moderna booster on top of the Pfizer original series for the sake of diversity. The Pfizer booster was the recommended solution.

The Kaiser nurse was not pleased as she had to redo a bunch of automated online paperwork. Knowing that she was about to stick me with a very sharp pointy needle, I apologized abjectly.

And, of course, I woke up this morning to news that Pfizer had just issued a press release on how extremely effective their booster shot was, when used on top of the Pfizer original series.

Currently, my arm is a bit sorer than it was during the original Pfizer series. I am feeling a bit low energy, and measure in the 100.3 temp right now. So fwiw, I did get more of a reaction this time around. I’m hoping that’s a good thing in the long run.

You may wish to swing past the post office building tomorrow and politely mention your concerns to the Post Master of that facility. And ask for ideas.

I think that informed delivery also has a feedback method. But that may bring more attention than the situation warrants. (I don’t know whether or not that’s the case here.)

(To quote John Maynard Keynes “In the Long Run, we are all dead”.)

I’m scheduled for my booster next Wednesday. Based on previous recommendations, I’m getting Moderna this time. Oh, well.

re: #86 ckkatz

Sorry to hear that.

You may wish to swing past the post office building tomorrow and politely mention your concerns to the Post Master of that facility. And ask for ideas.

I think that informed delivery also has a feedback method. But that may bring more attention than the situation warrants. (I don’t know whether or not that’s the case here.)

My letter carrier mentioned that they have had difficulty recruiting, training, and keeping letter carriers. The current letter carrier has been doing a very good job and I leave a Costco bag of Lindor Truffles addressed to her every 6 months or so in my mailbox.

MrBWS went to the PO yesterday to get the meds, was told about the new person, that the route wasn’t finished on Monday, and was ASSURED that the meds would be delivered first thing because they would finish the route on Tuesday morning before anything else (and said meds were already out for delivery).

Obviously, that did not happen.

If the rest of my mail is not delivered by Friday, I will report everything not delivered as missing via Informed Delivery.

It’s all just ridiculous.

We had half an inch of snow fall yesterday. Just enough to be annoying. The more serious threat is on Friday, when it is supposed to snow all day, with temperatures in the low 30’s, making for thick heavy snow that will be difficult to move, and during the day, guaranteeing that I have to clear the driveway multiple times so Mrs. Fish can get our son to and from school.

That was my assumption as well. Iirc, I had read that Moderna does a few percentage points better than Pfizer in terms of recovering from Covid. Although I do wonder if that is within Margin of Error or some sample or context related quirk.

So, I was wasting time on the computer today and decided to try and figure out various language terms for the concept of cozy, comfortable, homey.

I understand that the Danish word is ‘Hygge’. (Distantly related to the English word ‘hug’.)

My father used to use the German word ‘Gemütlichkeit’.

And reaching way back, 60 years, into my past, the Yiddish word ‘Heimish’.

Does anyone know of words in other languages used to express that concept.

That is, or was, one of a handful of Super DC-3s still flying. It was a postwar rebuild and modernization of an older aircraft. 1952 is the date of conversion, since the last all new DC-3s were built in 1946. Incidentally the DC-3 is the largest aircraft I am rated to fly, though a toy next to Austin Blue’s KC-135 and B-52.

One of the “improvements” on the Super DC-3 was fully enclosed gear wells. The doors and the bottom of the nacelle are goners then. It should be repairable but not as cheaply or as easily as a standard DC-3.
