This stretches from just a little bit northeast of the Geldingadalir crater, and runs about a half a kilometer long:
“We were all of the mind that the Enterprise is a star of the show,” Lee explains. “It’s a major player. It’s an actor, really. It’s not a weapon of war. It’s one when it has to be, but that’s not its function. It’s a scientific research vessel. It’s also a sanctuary. We discussed the Enterprise in that very creative way before we got into the detail of how we were going to deal with the individual elements of it.”Those elements started with the Bridge, which already made its debut during the second season of “Star Trek: Discovery.” But now that Pike’s Enterprise was getting its own show — one that will hopefully (and boldly) go the distance with a five-year mission — that called for significant revisions to the nerve center of the Enterprise.
“We’ve taken the set that we’ve inherited, but we did a great deal of work,” Lee said. “[Executive Producer] Akiva Goldsman briefed me to bring it back to ‘The Original Series.’ We had to move things around a little bit. We moved the captain’s chair around so that Captain Pike could throw a look to helm and navigations really easily, and that would work with the camera.” And since the viewscreen that was seen in “Discovery” was depicted using visual effects, a physical representation of the viewscreen was designed and added to the Bridge set for “Strange New Worlds.”
Lee also changed the color language from the “Discovery” version of the Enterprise. “It was quite cool with blues and greens and cool yellows. I said, the Bridge must feel warmer, particularly the motion graphics on all the monitors. When you see the before and after, it’s pretty dramatically different, but it’s much more intimate, and it feels more like our show.”

I’ve heard a couple of reasons. Initially it was being reported that it just tested disastrously bad in test screenings. The latest is that it would be more fiscally advantageous for WB to take a tax write down on it than to release it. I think it is probably a bit of both. They had already spent almost 100 million on it and would likely have had to spend almost as much again for a big theatrical release and they just didn’t think it was worth it based on the feedback they had received so far. If they just released it to HBO max, they could no longer claim it as a write down.

“The Justice Department filed suit Wednesday against Peter Navarro, claiming the former adviser to Donald Trump used an unofficial email account while working in the White House and wrongfully retained presidential records,” the AP reports.“The lawsuit in federal court in Washington claims Navarro used at least one ‘non-official’ email account — a ProtonMail account — to send and receive emails.”
“The civil cases alleges that by using the unofficial email account, Navarro failed to turn over presidential records to the National Archives and Records Administration.”

First high quality drone footage:
For orientation: drone starts off heading north. The slope of last year’s lava is in the foreground, the man cone from 2021 is just off to the left. To the right is Meradalir (valley). The fissure opened up in a small valley just northeast of the Geldingadalir cone.
At the end the drone turns around and heads south again.
You can see the fresh lava at the north end up against the hill walls! The fissure must have opened up on the north end right up the hill.

What with all the fun and games surrounding the Jones affair, I just wanted to remind people that there is still good out there. I just finished watching the 9-hour Get Back movie, produced by Peter Jackson with it culminating in their al fresco concert on the roottop of their London recording studio. It is truly a masterpiece showing a bygone time before the group disbanded and how they worked in the studio. What I found so revealing was the real lack of bitterness between the guys and how Yoko Ono really was not a prime motivation for the break up. It also gave insight on how Paul McCartney gave birth to his songs right there in the studio. Like sausage making, it wasn’t pretty but the end result came out right.
If you’re a Beatles fan, you need to see this. If not, this probably won’t change your mind.

Recalls are permitted only for specified offenses including acts of malfeasance or misconduct in office, violations of an officeholder’s oath, failure to perform duties “prescribed by law” and willfully misusing public funds or property. In addition, the law requires recall proponents to gather signatures equal to 30% of the registered voters in the jurisdiction where the officeholder sits. In 2020, there were 806,451 registered voters in Fulton County. That means that recall organizers would have to collect more than 240,000 signatures to get a recall of Willis on the ballot.
Chris Huttman, a Democratic political consultant who did polling for Willis’s campaign for DA in 2020, noted that Trump got 137,247 votes (or 17% of the total) in Fulton County that year. “That means that even if every single Trump voter in Fulton County signed the petition [for recall], they would still have to go out and find another 100,000 signatures.”

Shkreli was released from prison earlier this year after serving four years for federal securities fraud. The former pharma exec, best known for hiking up the price of a life-saving drug, was previously subjected to an IQ test as part of a full psychological evaluation before his sentencing hearing. At the time, he wrote in a letter that he wanted to have the evaluation circulated widely, because “I want to watch the press squirm when they see I have a 150 IQ and no overt psychological issues.”Not only did the IQ portion prove to be untrue, but the doctor who performed the psychological evaluation reported that Shkreli had multiple psychological issues, including generalized anxiety disorder, major depressive disorder and unspecified personality disorder.

Kyrsten Sinema started in the Green Party as a progressive advocate. She then switched to the Democratic Party and was elected to the Arizona House starting in 2005, serving three terms. She was then elected to the Arizona Senate and served one term. From there she was elected to the US House and served from 2013 to 2019.
In the 2018 Senate race to replace retiring Jeff Flake, she refused to debate her only Democratic opponent, a community activist named Deedra Abboud. Sinema raised three times more money than all the Republican opponents combined.
Sinema gained a lot of support from Democrats across the country, as her record in politics was known and her opponent was not well-known. Sinema handily defeated Ms. Abboud, then Martha McSally in the General Election.

The Carter Canyon Fire south of Gering, Nebr. has grown to 15,800 acres. It is now 80% contained.
KSID-AM, Sidney, Nebr., with photographs of the fire.
GERING, Neb. — During the Carter Canyon fire, which grew to burn over 15,500 acres, three houses were destroyed.
One of those houses was occupied by David and Carolyne Ewing. They are both 72-years-old and lived in their ranch house for 20 years, their son Josh Ewing said Carolyn evacuated immediately and David stayed to try to wet down the house and cut lines in the fences for the cattle to run away.
Josh said they have not found all the cattle, but they are confident they all survived.
Josh said the ranch had been in the family for five generations and his great great grandfather homesteaded in the Carter Canyon.

The rancher stayed behind when his wife escaped, to cut fences to let his cattle escape, and try to wet down his property. Most of the cattle have been found, but all the buildings on his ranch have been destroyed.

I don’t necessarily condone that kind of behavior, but at least i can understand it.
Alex Jones graduated from Anderson High School in Austin in 1993. He attended Austin Community College for a bit but dropped out. Like Rush Lindbaugh and Sean Hannity, he never got a college degree. Like both of them, he is convinced that he is smarter than anyone else in the world. Or was, in Rush’s case, since he died and went to hell.
I hope the jury returns a payout to the plaintiffs of $150,000,000, which they have already committed to non-profits.
In addition, that kind of damage result would prevent Jones from frequenting expensive Austin restaurants like Uchi, my neighborhood bistro before the pandemic, which would have the bonus of preventing Staff from wasting so much saliva on his food.

President Biden ordered all United States Flags to half-staff August 3-4, 2022 in honor of the passing of Representative Jackie Walorski. Walorski has represented Indiana’s 2nd Congressional District as a Republican in the United States House of Representatives since 2013. She died Wednesday, August 3 in an automobile accident.

He first started on Austin cable access: His show was not conspiratorial in nature then and aired right before Atheist Experience. There is an old clip of AE where they invited Alex Jones on their show because their scheduled guest failed to show up.
re: #277 William Lewis
Now we can see on what the real problem with “Batgirl” was.
I suspect the problems with Batgirl are:
1. It wasn’t made to be a theatrical release and therefore the new studio doesn’t think it’s worth it
2. The white guys didn’t get to decide to make it.
Remember when Marvel had the boss that kept female led movies from being made until they finally fired him?

re: #279 Hecuba’s daughter
From a site on half-staff alerts:
So — does the governor need to issue an order since the President has already done this?
Strictly speaking, neither the President nor a state governor needs to issue a proclamation at all. The US Flag Code states that the flag shall be lowered to half-staff upon the death of a sitting representative or senator, and their desk in the House or Senate draped in black bunting. The flag is placed at half-staff for the day of death and the day after.
The reasons the President or a state governor issues a proclamation are so local officials and media are made aware of the requirement in the US Flag Code. Frequently the proclamation contains remembrances about the person, such as in President Biden’s proclamation today.

That’s the basic problem of treating churches like a not-for-profit.
Not-for-profit organisations are prohibited on weighing in on politicians, parties, or issues, except when the issue directly affects them or their mission. (For example, the American Library Association can weigh in on a proposed book-banning bill.)
Since the Catholic Church views all abortion as an affront to God, that is an issue upon which they can weigh in.
Note this Christian privilege so far has not extended to the Satanic Temple in court arguing abortion is a protected right. We’ll see how the constellation of churches and synagogues in Florida opposing their abortion law works out in court.
WASHINGTON — Democrats on the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday explored how to combat violent threats lodged against election officials, while Republicans questioned why the Department of Justice isn’t doing more to investigate threats against crisis pregnancy centers and Supreme Court justices.During a hearing on protecting election officials, Assistant Attorney General Kenneth Polite Jr. discussed how the Justice Department’s Election Threats Task Force is prosecuting people who have threatened election officials. To date, the task force has investigated more than 1,000 complaints and has prosecuted five people.
The hearing comes as states are preparing for the November midterm election, which many election officials fear could prompt another surge in threats and harassment. A recent national survey found that 1 in 5 election officials say they are somewhat or very unlikely to stay in their jobs through 2024 due to the increased threats and political pressure.

In Russia, yesterday is tomorrow.
Russia will introduce duty-free shops selling western imports to diplomats for foreign currency in a practice that will remind many Russians of the infamous beryozka stores that epitomised official privilege during the Soviet era, the Guardian’s Andrew Roth writes from Moscow.
The shops, which could open as soon as the autumn, will sell imported goods that may become hard to find in ordinary Russian shops as foreign brands flee the country over the war in Ukraine.
But in order to make a purchase, visitors will have to provide an official document to prove they are a foreign diplomat, employee of an international organisation or a family member. And the shops will also accept payment in dollars and euro, mimicking the beryozka stores’ function as a magnet for foreign currency.
“It’s a total USSR!” wrote Sergei Smirnov, the editor-in-chief of the Russian outlet Mediazona, which wrote about the legislation after its announcement in Russia’s official parliamentary newspaper.

I have read that the Ruble rate exchange rate has gone up, but that it is no longer freely convertible. I seem to recall that the official rate for the old Soviet Ruble was $1.35, while the unofficial rate was more like 5-10 to the dollar.
And 5-10 was also what you got for illegal currency trading.

You know, I really wonder what the current Ruble/USD black market rate is.
Here in Czech Republic during the Communist era there were these shops called Tuzex and they allowed Czechoslovaks to purchase Western products or luxury goods otherwise unavailable in regular stores, albeit with a voucher called “bony”, which you’d buy with your Czechoslovak crowns. Officially, one bony was worth one Czechoslovak crown, but the black market rate was pretty much always one bony = five crowns.
The last Tuzex shops closed here in 1992, though you can still find the remains of a few of them around. There’s one near the train station in the small town of Kuřím, but it’s been abandoned for decades (though the building itself was in surprisingly good shape when I saw it back in 2014 - the owner of the property seems to be taking care of it).
Russian elites will always be able to get their hands on Western goods, and as long as the masses have enough to eat and keep warm, they will remain largely passive and quiet as they know what the consequences are for making too much trouble.

It is also not to be confused with National Cleavage Day, which is March 27. The origin of that day is from Wonderbra (which for some reason is in my computer’s dictionary), in what they claim is a way to promote love for breasts of all sizes.

Right-wing headline of the day: “Woman Who Opened Fire at Dallas Airport, Has the Look of a Leftist” (July 26, 2022)
The Website in question is Liberty Daily, which Mr. Futrelle describes as a Drudge Report knockoff.
On Monday, a woman with a handgun opened fire in the Dallas Love Field Airport; she was quickly shot in the leg by a cop and arrested.
So far we don’t know the alleged shooter’s motive, but from what little we do know it doesn’t seem political. Witnesses told a local NBC affiliate that the woman, 37-year-old Portia Odufuwa, “made comments about her partner cheating on her” and how “she was about to blow this sucker up.”
Odufuwa has a history of run-ins with the police, and has been charged over the years with an assortment of crimes including arson and bank robbery. According to the Dallas News, “[c]ourt records show she has previously told police she is married to celebrity Chris Brown and that she is ‘God’s prophet.’” Neither of those things are true, as far as I know.

Our system of accounting was designed for a time when corporate assets were actual physical things: plant and property, offices and real estate, warehouse inventory, etc. all tangible and easy to assess.
Modern companies don’t own anything physical anymore: they lease their office premises and equipment, they contract out their production: their “assets” consist of patents, copyrights and licensing rights, which are intangible and often very difficult to evaluate and assess.

Paul Krugman addresses the strawman that “environmental protection ends growth”.
One thing to keep in mind in a globalized economy: if we are competing with other nations with little or no environmental, health or safety regulations, we are shooting ourselves in the foot and giving those countries no incentive to clean up their act.
And don’t forget that we still have not overcome the mentality of measuring wealth and prosperity in terms of how many resources we consume, not the quality of life we create with them.

National parks are our jam, so we’ll try to hit as many along the route/destination as we can. We’re already thinking ahead to our next big trip, which may be north to Acadia, or south to Shenandoah/Blue Ridge/Smoky Mts.

re: #370 Dangerman
Regarding rural school districts.
In the Valentine Public School District in Nebraska, because distant points in Cherry County are so far from Valentine, the school district maintains a number of one-room schoolhouses. Those are opened when there are students in those areas.
Valentine Public School is recruiting (constantly) for teachers who are willing to teach in a one-room school. In addition to their pay (which is pretty good for this state) they also provide a home for the teacher to live in, including utilities, next to the one-room schools when they are used.
Valentine Public School only accepts experienced teachers, due to the challenge of teaching in a one-room schoolhouse and living far from anything you might construe as a village.
If a teacher’s dream is living out in the middle of nowhere and the challenge of teaching children of multiple grades, that might be the job they want.
Protecting Abortion rights as an issue to energize voters is everything I was hoping for. Voter registration by women in Kansas skyrocketed after Dobbs, and Kansas’ election on Tuesday shattered state turnout records for a primary election. despite being a heavily Republican state, protecting abortion rights in the state constitution won by a better than 17 point margin. Democrats need to make protecting abortion rights a major issue nationwide, the way the Republicans ran against Obamacare everywhere for years.

The one flaw in this argument regarding Batgirl is that since the Discovery/Warners merger, there’s been a virtual massacre of projects getting canceled, especially among the effects-heavy superhero stuff. Just a few days ago, The Flash got cancelled and will finish out its run with an abbreviated 13 episodes.
I really think this is a case of new management clearing the old regime’s projects in order to save money (not a great argument for Batgirl, since it’s almost done) and put their stuff in place.

Gangsters vs. Nazis
How the Jewish mob fought American admirers of the Third Reich
Lansky rounded up some of his tough associates and went around New York disrupting Nazi meetings. Young Jews not connected to him or the rackets also volunteered to help, and Lansky and others taught them how to use their fists and handle themselves in a fight. Lansky’s crews worked very professionally. Nazi arms, legs, and ribs were broken and skulls cracked, but no one died. The attacks continued for more than a year. And Lansky earned quite a reputation for doing this work.
(and a few years later, after the war, Lansky and Bugsy Siegel and Mickey Cohen were hugely helpful to the Haganah and Irgun)

Gangsters for Zion
Yom Ha’atzmaut: How Jewish mobsters helped Israel gain its independence
Arazi learned that the Mafia controlled the port of New York, and he had no scruples about contacting underworld figures, He approached Meyer Lansky and asked him to help get weapons loaded onto ships bound for Israel. Lansky said he would handle it. Lansky contacted Albert Anastasia and Joe Adonis, who controlled the longshoremen’s union and the docks. They helped Israeli agents conceal the arms purchased for Israel, while arms bound for Egypt mysteriously fell overboard. Illegal consignments of military hardware, some of it brand new and still packed in oil and straw, were then secreted onto ships that happened to be bound for Israel.
Both of these are articles are written by Robert Rockaway, bylined as professor emeritus at Tel Aviv University, and the author of But He Was Good to His Mother: The Lives and Crimes of Jewish Gangsters.

Unless there is another epidemic outbreak, there will be fewer absentee and mail-in ballots, and unless there is not another epidemic-denier/miminizer President, then the mail-in results will be more balanced and not as skewed for or against a particular party.
Trump knew that would be the case and based a lot of his strategy on “calling” the election before the absentee and mail-in ballots could be counted.

“The Great Thing in the Darkness”
FYI - the Sandy Hook families initially sought $150 million in their suit against Jones.
Based on the financial information we’re learning about Jones’ businesses, $150 million is well within his capacity to pay.
$800k a day for every day since Sandy Hook? That’s nearly 10 years. Let’s even say $500k in ad revenues alone - Carry the 1… that’s a ghastly sum of $1.8 billion! (showing the math: 10 years, 365 days, and 500k earned per day). Assuming that he was just raking in $250,000 a day in ad revenue, that’s still a metric shit ton of economically anxious dumbasses being separated from their hard earned money by grifter Jones - $900 million.
Yeah, Sandy Hook families deserve every last penny of revenue. All of it.

The only way to get Election Day results: Universal electronic-scanned ballots. Mail-in ballots with a hard mail-by date to ensure arrival prior to Election Day (or some way to ensure same-day delivery). Manual recounts only if the percent margin is less than 0.5% of the votes cast.
more important question
why does it matter that the winner is known on the same day the votes are cast in person?

Roid rage? If this isn’t all part of the show, making her a wrestling “heel,” the suspension should be permanent.
On August 1, the WWE announced that Rousey would be suspended following an attack on referee Dan Engler. As described in their statement, “An irate Rousey attacked the official after her SmackDown Women’s Title Match, claiming he missed [her opponent] Liv Morgan tapping out to the Armbar while he counted the pinfall.”
Video of the incident shows Rousey grabbing the referee by the arm and flipping him over her shoulder onto the ring’s floor, where she pinned him down until another official got involved.
In addition to suspension, the fighter has also been fined an undisclosed amount.

So I was interested in looking into what the forced birthers will have to do in order to end the right to abortion in Kansas soon. The short answer is that if they defeat Governor Kelly (the race is currently rated a tossup), the legislature would have to end the terms of the 4 commissioners on the judicial nominating commission appointed by the Governor to pack it with forced birthers, then add 6 or 7 new Justices to the Kansas Supreme Court to get a forced birth majority on the Court. Hopefully Kelly will be reelected and we don’t have to see if they would take such radical action.
