re: #166 austin_blue

106º again today.

First four days in August for high temps have averaged 105º.

Whee!

Oh, and we are in a significant drought. We have little brush fires popping up all around Austin. Every day, more show up. It’s expensive to put out brush fires. All of the costs to fight them initially are entirely local, the expenses sucked up by volunteer fire departments

Welcome to the climate disaster. We tried to warn you about it for years starting in the early 80’s, but you wouldn’t listen. Then the oil companies said anyone who warned you about what was coming were nut jobs, and shouldn’t be listened to.

Then the oil companies said it was maybe kinda possible, but we should wait and see.

And now we’re fucked and the oil companies have made their profits and they have successfully fucked us right up the ass.

One of my cats has a certain place on his chin that, when scratched, causes his right hind leg to go into scratching mode immediately. A couple of times he fell over. He now resists chin scratches.

Also, as a real TV production the video is shot with a (short) telephoto, unlike cell phones and drones, which compresses the distance so he seems so close to the lava when he really is not:

The GOP is certainly responsible for many of the ills in our nation — but what is their role in the current monkeypox outbreak? The only complaints I’ve heard were that the administration took too long to recognize the threat from this disease. Unlike COVID, it isn’t airborne so doesn’t represent the same danger to our nation.

I have seen many comments online (Youtube, Twitter) who think the Monkeypox is just a scam by libruls. These people were programmed to think COVID is a Fauci manufactured hoax.

It’s all part of the anti-knowledge movement at the core of the atavism to which the GOP has now played for 50 years.

That Christian preacher who showed up armed with a semiautomatic rifle and pistol at a Beto O’Rourke campaign event? (Interesting the GOP prohibits guns but encourages their assholes to take guns to Democratic events.)

Heavily armed pastor presses Beto O’Rourke on abortion and “great men” who are “the product of rape” (Salon, August 4, 2022)

Add this guy to the Christian Rape Advisory Chart (an extension of the GOP chart).

A Texas man who identified himself as a preacher, armed with a semiautomatic assault rifle and pistol, confronted gubernatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke during a Saturday campaign event and demanded that the Democrat answer whether he “believed in a woman’s right to choose,” claiming that there are “great” men who are the “product of rape.”

Yes.

If your attitude is “it’s just a hoax,” then you will do nothing to mitigate the spread, same as Covid-19. On top of that, Republican politicians are politicising this just as they did Covid-19, trying to shift the blame for a contact disease to Big Geyh (re-running Ronald Reagan’s playbook on HIV).

A long but interesting read at Juanita Jean’s, the World’s Most Dangerous Beauty Salon from Nick Carraway.

Redemption?

… So, I will offer two rhetorical questions that the beloved community here can chew on if they like. Some of these have obvious academic answers, so this is more on a philosophical level.

How is it that people like Alex Jones exist?

Yes, I took Abnormal Psychology and Psychopathology. I know the literal textbook definition of this. This is usually where “well actually” guy comes busting out the DSM-V with the textbook definitions of psychopathy and sociopathy. Yup, we all know that. What we also know is that those conditions really aren’t curable. That makes the second question easier to answer in his case.

However, on a personal or philosophical level it is quite disturbing. He made up to 800,000 a day knowing full well that he was not only lying but also really hurting those people. That takes a special kind of cruelty. I’m not a psychologist and I can’t practice counseling outside of a school setting, but it produces a vexing question. How much do people like Jones really know? He knows that his lies were in fact lies. He knew he was making money off it. He willfully spurred his minions on those poor families. I can’t tell you how the psychopathic brain works exactly. I don’t know how much they are really cognizant of and how much they are able to compartmentalize away from whatever humanity they actually have.

Captain Ron  Aug 5, 2022 • 2:14:41am

So, I (an e-bike rider) am getting conflicted about the proliferation of e-bikes on the trails. When I bought my e-bike I didn’t want a rear hub motor, I wanted a mid-drive to get the power of the motor delivered through the gears over the motor just driving the rear wheel. The bike with the mid-drive had a cadence sensor which just sees if you’re moving the pedals then it will deliver enough power to go the programmed speed for the pedal assist level, kinda all or nothing. The bike I bought had a rear wheel motor but it had a torque sensor. The harder I press on the pedals the more watts the controller delivers to the motor. It acts like a force multiplier to my input, like a real bike.

So low I see these people on their cheaper bikes with cadence sensors, ghost pedaling with no physical effort going 18 MPH (faster than the 15 MPH speed limit on the trails).

I think cadence sensors should be banned.

re: #54 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

He is also part of society that values accumulation of wealth above all, even if it involves human suffering, physical, emotional, psychological or economic.

Mr. Carraway is a Catholic I think (based on reading his previous articles). As such he’s trying to square the Christian idea of redemption with the way a sociopath (in the common, not clinical, sense) like Jones or Trump operates.

He frames redemption in the Christian idea of sin, repentance, and forgiveness, and says a sociopath is not capable of the second. (I got into this as a long thread over at Sorry Antivaxxer before I left the site about the idea that a person who is abused is not required to accept any apology of another, no matter how sincere the repentance.)

I noted in the comments at Juanita Jean’s the concept of “stochastic terrorism.” In fact the vast majority of Trump’s supporters never attended the insurrection nor planned to. They were however Fifth Columnists for those who did. Trump and his compatriots fully understood the incendiary rhetoric about a stolen election would shake out enough people that the day became a serious threat to the government.

I compared what Jones and Trump did to what Bill O’Reilly did with Dr. George Tiller. Lots of Christians think abortion is immoral or their religion forbids it (and don’t know the real segregationist roots of their position). The vast majority would never do something like shoot an abortion doctor. Statistically the chances of Dr. Tiller being killed were close to certain when millions were being told night-after-night Dr. Tiller was a “baby killer.” It only took one person to decide those “babies” needed defending from “murder” though “defence” by killing Dr. Tiller. God would want that, and how many “innocent lives” would be saved?

I’d really love it if a Christian denomination (say the United Methodists) came right out and said “It is our official position that the Southern Baptist Convention is a group of racist hate mongers [and have more paedophilia scandals than the Catholic Church] but they aren’t going to do it. Ultimately both churches are on the same side with their core beliefs, so the Methodists are willing to hold their noses and not condemn the racists in the middle of their religion.

Because a move like that would prompt a lot of people to simply say “look, the whole religion must be defective if there is such infighting among its factions” and totally turn their backs on Christianity.

Which you and I see as a perfectly viable reaction, but the Methodists don’t.

Also manslaughter. Looks like the driver was doing over a 100 mph.

This is the horrific moment an LA driver speeds through a red light before slamming into five cars at an intersection, killing six including an infant and a pregnant woman.

The black Mercedes races past a gas station then smashes into the side of a traffic jam, causing a flaming inferno in the Windsor Hills district.

It sends the vehicles screeching across the street before finally coming to a stop in a mangled wreck just feet away from rows of highly flammable pumps.

The gut-wrenching pile up, between of South La Brea Avenue and Slauson Avenue, killed the pregnant woman, her unborn child and the three-year-old.

Meanwhile seven people have been left fighting for their lives with horrendous injuries following the devastating smash at 1.40pm.

Deadbeat landlords are fueling the national housing crisis by refusing to pay property taxes — instead allowing low- and middle-income homes to go into foreclosure, thus removing houses from the market and dimming supply, according to experts.

snip

In February, professional investors made 28.1% of all single-family purchases, a record high, according to the real estate market data firm CoreLogic.

Before the pandemic, investors accounted for 14% of home purchases, the firm found.

The tight housing supply has sent real estate prices soaring, making home ownership less affordable for average Americans.

The national median home price jumped 13.4% in June from a year earlier to $416,000. That’s an all-time high according to data going back to 1999, the National Association of Realtors said.

The driver of the Mercedes that blew through the red light amazingly survived. She’s been identified as a 40-year-old woman, and she’s in the hospital (no surprise there) and being questioned by the police.

Youtube Video

She’s in deep shit, to say the least. I saw the camera footage of the crash itself and it took a couple of watch-throughs to finally see her MBZ come barreling through. She was going so damn fast, it’s like she came out of nowhere.

I once drove on the Autobahn back in the Nineties when I was on temporary duty to Germany. I was terrified (but not as badly as when I drove on California Highway 9 in my Smart).

Ir was always fun in the early 80’s when doing a convoy on the Autobahn in tanks that could do 50 kmph downhill with a tailwind and a rocket booster. The impatient civilians would weave in an out of the column like crazy and occasionally misjudge how slow we really were with horrific results. I would expect that since the M1 Abrams is so much faster than then M60s were that it’s not quite so bad anymore.

Gee, it’s almost like they aren’t actually deeply held. But we can’t question them; merely saying they’re “deeply held” means that they must be respected and enforced as law, according to the Supreme Court.

Former President Donald Trump’s legal team is in direct communication with Justice Department officials, the first sign of talks between the two sides as the criminal probe into January 6, 2021, accelerates,” CNN reports.

The talks revolve around whether Trump would be able to shield conversations he had while he was president from federal investigators.

And again as a reminder to our “strict Original Constitutionalists” infesting the Republican Party, the notion of Executive Privilege appears nowhere in the US Constitution, and is a rather recent derivation emboldened by the utterly corrupt and vile Nixon Presidency.

The idea that Trump can claim Executive Privilege by any sort of “national security” issue at stake while trying to overthrow democracy itself here is laughable, but with this utterly corrupt SCOTUS one must prepare for the worst -until Dems can retake Congress and pack this fucking Court so high Justices will be bursting out the Court doors.

I’m not even beyond showing concern about or criticizing Ukrainian IHL breaches or when it comes too close to comfort, what I’m against is writing it in such a way that it both sides are equally bad in it, when one side clearly is orders of magnitude worse than the other.

I thought everyone knew by now that when dealing with the current regime in the Russian Federation, once should tread carefully (N.B.: not saying don’t tread, just saying take care doing so) so that one does not (in)advertently minimize or excuse their barbarism. Which is what happened here.

Russia indiscriminately fires on civilian targets. Ukrainian forces are trying to repel invading genocidal Russian forces, and will fire from areas where civilians lived. That’s how you expel and repel those forces from invading. Equating the two is some magic balance fairy bulkshit by AI.

aside from the discomfort, you dont get to pick where it breaks out - face, eyes, etc, and whether there will be lasting damage.

- for a few hours, pain at the site, like being punched
- i had an hour and a half nap, but that reasonable could have been due to this week’s running miles.
- the second half of this am’s run was…tiring

now i think im back to normal

that robertson bozo above is 48 and says he can run 2 8 minute miles with a 30 pound pack?

i can run 5k (3.1 miles) probably up to 10k (6.2) miles at 8 min/mile.

War is ugly. But you also have to remember what provisions the laws of war have in the case where an opponent is in systematic breach of the laws of war.

Like, those Russian Soldiers executed by Georgian volunteers. What was the full context? What had the Russian soldiers done prior to getting executed? If they were caught in the act committing manifestly unlawful acts according to the laws of war, they are not PoW’s but Unlawful Combattants, and Unlawful Combattants do not have the same rights as PoW’s (they still do have rights, but not as many).
I’m not saying it was right, but I’m not saying it was wrong either, I withhold judgment because I know of the provisions of the laws of war when dealing with opponents which systematically breach them.

In an interview with CNN on Thursday, Cheney said the “facts and the evidence are there” to sustain charges against Trump over the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

Cheney is part of a committee investigating the riot, which has produced evidence is says shows Trump is to blame for the attack.

Trump is “guilty of the most serious dereliction of duty of any president in our nation’s history”, she said, and cited federal court judge David Carter concluding in March that Trump and conservative attorney John Eastman had likely committed crimes in seeking to overturn the result of the 2020 election.

They need to sow discord and distract from Biden’s successes. Democrats aren’t going to run from Biden. They’ve got a huge tranche of successes and legislation that helps all Americans, while the GOP has obstruction and 1/6.

This diary, dailykos.com, as a bunch of links at the top of Democrats going after their Republican opponents on abortion. So yes, Democrats are able and willing to go after their opponents.

Contentious battle in the Indiana House as they vote on how restrictive to make their new abortion ban. A forced birth extremist who wanted a complete ban with zero exceptions accused those who voted against his amendment of “supporting murder.” Fingers crossed that enough Republicans will vote against it because its either not restrictive enough or too restrictive that it fails.

Unlike Fox, 538 will usually revise its views based on evidence. The RW manipulates facts to support its narrative instead of modifying its narrative based on facts.

New York officials are warning that hundreds of Empire state residents may already be infected with the devastating polio virus after it was detected in wastewater of a second county in the state.

State surveillance detected presence of the polio virus in at least two different areas of Orange County, New York - around an hours drive from New York City - in June and July. It comes within weeks of officials announcing a confirmed polio case in Rockland County - just northwest of the Big Apple’s Bronx borough. The virus was also detected in Rockland wastewater last month.

Because polio is asymptomatic in a majority of cases, it is likely that the detection of one symptomatic case means there could be hundreds of others that will never be detected. Finding the virus in wastewater samples in multiple counties confirms fears that the virus has been spreading in the state for sometime before the Rockland case was detected.

Officials are urging the population to get vaccinated to prevent a resurgence of the devastating virus. Orange and Rockland are both among the counties with the lowest vaccine coverage against the virus - at 59 and 60 percent respectively. A person who is already vaccinated is not believed to be at any risk.

Maybe, but we don’t know how that works without seeing the world from the perspective of an American companion, rather than from that of the BBC. People probably have the accent of the listener of the translation.

Also, it doesn’t surprise me that the Comanche would win this battle. They’re fierce. The way they acquired horses in the first place is that a batch of half-naked Comanche, armed with rocks and sharp sticks, defeated a platoon of armed and armored conquistadores on horseback.
