A while back my wife and I were at a steak house and noticed the couple across the way from us having a pretty heated argument. The woman eventually stormed out.
We thought that was the end of it…until about 15 minutes later when she returned and calmly finished her meal. They did end up leaving separately, though.

One of the most-exciting aspects of this annoucement for Tolkien fans is Embracer’s suggestion that it will explore “additional movies based on iconic characters such as Gandalf, Aragorn, Gollum, Galadriel, Eowyn and other characters from Tolkien’s literary works.”

Influencer Andrew Tate — who is known for making misogynistic comments online — has been banned from Facebook and Instagram.
A spokesperson for Meta told Insider that Tate was banned from Facebook and Instagram for violating policies around dangerous organizations and individuals and for violating policies on hate speech.
The spokesperson said Tate is not allowed to have a presence on either of the platforms and that the ban is permanent.
At the time of publication, Insider saw that Tate’s TikTok account was also removed. TikTok did not immediately respond to Insider’s request for comment.

If Trump and Trump-adjacent politicians can be weeded out, then all-out battle can resume against the noxious political brand of conservatism. For now, we may have to appeal to those (like Cheney) who don’t share our views but who hate the pro-Putin anti-democracy brigade that Trump and Faux News appeal to.

Interesting media find of the day- at least here in Scotland- and almost certainly a sample source which will reverberate through Scottish (and possibly wider) electronic music in years to come…
ScotRail, the (recently re-nationalised) main railway company of Scotland released the entirety of their electronic announcements audio in a huge audio file on their website.
Basically all the possible segments of possible announcements I’ve heard whilst taking a train in Scotland (eg station names, “We apologise for the delay, this is due to”, “a signal failure”, “a supermarket trolley on the track”, “an unexploded wartime bomb”) in a single longform audio file.
It’s already been split into individual files, and annotated.

re: #77 Crush White Nationalism
David French is trying to parse a difference between “normal” conservatives and “fascists.” Fascists ARE conservatives, and the only point of conservatism is to promote and maintain a hierarchy of rulers. That’s it. That’s all it’s ever been. Whatever system promotes a hierarchy of rulers, a conservative will use. (It’s also why they shiv each other for power so much.) If they can win democratically, then democracy it is. If they have a monarchy, they’ll rule that way. If it’s an autocrat, the Der Fuehrer it is.
The only point of conservatism is the exercise of power.
re: #96 The Pie Overlord!
Knowing what kind of people David French & Christopher Rufo are, IMHO they would both support repealing the CRA.
Christopher Rufo also is leading the attacks on school teachers and librarians with charges of “grooming” leading to violent threats against both.
If conservatives can rule through violence and intimidation, then they will do that.
Do not let people like David French claim that there is somehow a gentler, nicer conservatism, a “compassionate conservatism” if you will. Conservatism only exists to justify rule, ever since Edmond Burke defined it.

Gasbuddy has it just under $4 in the Twin Cities suburbs around me. Some more outstate MN communities have gas around $3.40 I’m certain the price difference is because of some conspiracy that proves the trilateral commission is stealing the election.
Every Trump social media post has the added benefit to the Republicans of muting news about Biden’s signature achievements.
Homeowner update:
Been going through old papers and getting rid of a lot of crap. Shredder getting paid overtime. Ran across some receipts from 2004 and 2007 for the solar attic fans I had installed at the time and it dawned on me. There’s no way they’re still working. Amazingly enough, someone answered the phone at the office of the company. They could send a guy out in a few days to take a look/replace if needed. I pretty much decided to replace them regardless. The newer ones are way more efficient and run 24/7. My old ones had thermometers. He didn’t even need to get into the attics. It only took him about 2.5 hours to finish.
Next project. Replace natural gas lights (on posts) with electric/LED. I was considering solar for these too but there’s plenty of tree shade and dreary winter weather here at the boudoir. And the cost alone to replace batteries every 2-3 years is over $100. Eh.
Thank you for your time. 😂

I’ve been taunting yokel Trumpsters with the (mostly cherry picked) gas price difference between Biden counties and Trumpster domains. Part of this is because low prices are found along the border while isolated back of beyond areas have the highest prices because of high transport costs and low competition. This coincides with voting patterns. Some very isolated rural counties, like Roberts in the Panhandle, are practically all white and voted Trump by massive margins (97% there and that is not the highest). They are also the farthest from the refineries.

Indeed. Even within the [dis]United States.
If Putin wins in Ukraine, he emboldens autocrats all over the world. If Ukrainians defeat Putin, they will embolden democrats all over the world. The stakes of this war are global.
