Heh. Reminds me of the saying that once you go past the point where violence is appropriate, the longer you wait to start the more violence you will need in order to succeed.

It seems odd to me that there would be a god whose reaction to people putting their naughty bits in weird places is to just slaughter them all and send most of them to eternal torment. Sometimes a good talking to is best, but I’m not some fancy deity so what do I know?
re: #19 Mattand
Same here. I did not notice anything.
God has a funny way of allowing the winning touchdown after fervent praying by fans, but missed that abused kid, or the raped girl, or the water problem that poisoned an entire town.
Or starvation by millions…
But we will be told they are human problems and have no connection to God. It is a human problem, the doing of humans, your fault and God is outside of it.
Or something…
Then….
Oh.
OK.
My bad.
Texas Supreme Court Justice John Devine is facing new questions about his impartiality after a clip went viral this week in which he implied that Democrats plan to cheat against presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump in the 2024 election.“Do you really think the Democrats are going to roll over and let Trump be president again?” Devine asked in a keynote speech at the Texas Tea Party Republican Women’s 2023 Christmas event. “You think they’re just going to go away, all of a sudden find Jesus and [there will] be an honest election? I don’t think so.”

I guess this one thing that is okay about getting older. Internet went down at the source for about 90 minutes. Luckily I was taking a nap. Woke up, rebooted the server. No good. Was in the middle of dialing them up to report an outage and it all came back.
So that was 90 minutes I got a good nap instead of 90 minutes ping-ponging off the walls relying on my iPhone for internet access. ;-)
Enough with the bullshit. When the orange menace tries to say “what he meant,” you reply “BULLSHIT! YOU NEVER MADE THAT DISTINCTION!!! STOP LYING!!!”
But they won’t.

An idiot that thinks eclipses are God’s wrath is an elected member of Congress.
“These are people I served alongside in Ukraine, Turkey, Morocco, The Bahamas, Indonesia, Mexico, Gaza, and Israel. They were far more than heroes,” said WCK founder and Chief Feeding Officer José Andrés. “Their work was based on the simple belief that food is a universal human right. It is not conditional on being good or bad, rich or poor, left or right. We do not ask what religion you belong to. We just ask how many meals you need.”
WCK coordinated everything correctly with the IDF in advance. Despite that, our convoy was hit as it was leaving the Deir al-Balah warehouse, where the team had unloaded hundreds of tons of humanitarian food aid brought to Gaza on our newly established maritime route from Cyprus. “This is not only an attack against WCK, this is an attack on humanitarian organizations showing up in the most dire of situations where food is being used as a weapon of war. This is unforgivable,” said Erin Gore, CEO of WCK.
The IDF has acknowledged its responsibility and its fatal errors in the deadly attack on our convoy in Gaza. It is also taking disciplinary action against some of those in command and committed to other reforms. These are important steps forward. But without systemic change, there will be more military failures and more grieving families. In addition to the tens of thousands of Palestinians killed, nearly 200 humanitarian workers have lost their lives during this conflict. That is why World Central Kitchen is demanding the creation of an independent commission to investigate the killings of our WCK colleagues.
While we continue to demand full accountability for what happened to our team—our friends—we continue to mourn the loss of their incredible hearts and smiles. WCK’s leadership is in close contact with their families, and we are doing everything we can to support them in this unimaginable time. Please stay tuned to our social media channels for information about the WCK global community honoring the lives of these heroes and ways you can participate. In the coming days, we will be sharing heartfelt tributes to remember their vibrant lives and indelible impact on the world.

The 10-day delay is exactly what Trump and his cronies were after. I don’t believe any of this was due to mistakes on the part of Trump’s or Knight Financial’s lawyers. It’s an obvious stalling tactic.

I’m one who hates crowds and the pain and suffering they impose but witnessing a total eclipse, especially if it is the first time, is, in my opinion, quite worth it. This was the situation 7 years ago in my chosen viewing spot in central Oregon. Not as bad as some but still quite busy and crowded. The eclipse the next morning was, quite frankly, one of the most ethereal and outright awesome events that I had ever experienced. If I wasn’t so busy snapping photos, it probably would have moved me to tears. If you do get a chance to see, take it. You won’t regret it.
re: #61 sizzzzlerz
7 years ago, I went to my parents’ house and we watched the partial eclipse through thin clouds. It was still cool to watch. This time, I’m hoping to get a look at the real deal, also from my parents’ farm, which will this time be fully under the umbra. The weather forecast so far is favorable, but with only 81 seconds of totality, it’s going to be down to chance clouds.

Well, I learned something today. Stephen King’s first book, “Carrie,” was published 50 years ago today, on April 5, 1974.
Here’s a retrospective by the Boston Globe: bostonglobe.com
I remember being blown away by the book when I read it in paperback, probably a year or two later. I was also an awkward misfit teenage girl. and I resonated to Carrie White.

RFK Jr. Repeats Russian Propaganda on Ukraine
Comes same day as candidate reveals Jan. 6 trutherism
On Friday, Kennedy questioned what happened at the United States Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, promising to appoint a special counsel if he’s elected to investigate the prosecutions of those who attacked the Capitol.
“I have not examined the evidence in detail, but reasonable, including Trump opponents, tell me there is little evidence of a true insurrection,” the independent candidate said in a lengthy statement Friday.
Then, in an interview with Twins Podcast, F. Kennedy Jr. parroted Russian propaganda almost word for word when discussing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, saying that Putin just wanted to “de-Nazify” Ukraine.
And yet the Washington Post wrote a puff piece on this Putinista.

It gets worse from Cuckoo For Cocoa Puffs
Kennedy’s statement on Jan. 6 came after his staff was forced to walk back a fundraising email Thursday that called the people who attacked the Capitol “J6 activists.”
On Friday, Kennedy said the day is “one of the most polarizing topics on the political landscape.”
“I am listening to people of diverse viewpoints on it in order to make sense of the event and what followed,” Kennedy said. “I want to hear every side.”

Man Set Fire to Bernie Sanders’ Office, Cops Say
A fire at the office of Senator Bernie Sanders (D-VT) in Burlington, Vermont on Friday was intentionally lit, authorities say.
The Burlington Fire Marshal’s office deemed the fire “incendiary in nature,” according to a press release. An investigation found that an accelerant had been sprayed on the door of Sen. Sanders downtown office, according to NECN.
Personnel in the building and surrounding structures were evacuated. Sanders was not in the office at the time, and no staffers were injured.
“A significant fire engulfed the door and part of the vestibule, impeding the egress of staff members who were working in the office and endangering their lives. The sprinkler system then engaged and largely extinguished the fire,” police said in a statement.
Burlington police have identified a possible unnamed suspect, and are working jointly with Vermont State Police on the investigation. Sanders’ State Director in Vermont, Kathryn Van Haste said her organization was “grateful to the Burlington Fire and Police Departments,” and “relieved that no one on our staff and, to our understanding, no one in the building was harmed.”

Republicans are already claiming that it’s God’s wrath for our debauchery (LGBT rights, reproductive rights, diversity, inclusion, etc.). Makes you wonder why the Bible Belt gets so many hurricanes and tornadoes. 🤔
God seems like a pretty decent guy to me. So he’s probably making a point about their hypocrisy.

Could this actually be why Threads is blocking all links to my site? One comment buried among hundreds?
It’s also weird that this site is the only political site blocked at my job.
On an unrelated note, I just watched “Red Eye” starring Cillian Murphy of Oppenheimer and Nolanverse fame.
Solid thriller. Not the worst way to spend 90 minutes.
It was released almost 20 years ago and you can certainly tell (the characters are using Nokia brick phones for one).

I remember that flick. He’s creepy as fuck in that.
re: #63 Nerdy Fish
7 years ago, I went to my parents’ house and we watched the partial eclipse through thin clouds. It was still cool to watch. This time, I’m hoping to get a look at the real deal, also from my parents’ farm, which will this time be fully under the umbra. The weather forecast so far is favorable, but with only 81 seconds of totality, it’s going to be down to chance clouds.
I saw one in the1960s, Chicago area. I’ll have to check if it was a full one. It was a bfd. Maybe 1968?

It wouldn’t have been total. Chicago hasn’t had one of those in our lifetimes.

Ok. It was used as a big teaching moment and we were all lined up outside with our little viewing boxes,lol.
Monkey Man Has a Bold New Vision
I want to see this film, but I’m posting here because it’s turning out to be a low-key demonstration of political censorship:
Not that it would seem so at first. Back in January, film critic Jordan Ruimy reported that, according to an “in-the-know source,” Monkey Man, originally set for distribution by Netflix, was dropped by the streamer because “the portrayal of a fictional right-wing Hindu Nationalist character … worried Netflix about their future dealings in India.”
If Threads has the capability to snip out links to any investigative reporting the management doesn’t like, Threads is worthless for news.

I had the same thing from the Cory Wong thread I posted.

Years ago when my kids got onto facebook, they discovered it was impossible to remove themselves from it. That was a sign to me to have nothing to do with any Zuckerberg product.

re: #42 Ace Rothstein
Were the immigrant bridge workers that died “animals” or “sub-human”? The orange menace should be asked that by our “liberal media” but they won’t.
One of my worst “conservatives” mistakenly praised the bridge guys thinking they were all “legal”; when told they weren’t his reply was “Well, at least I hope they had found God.”
