Trump allies hope his daughter Tiffany’s father-in-law can help flip Arab American votes in Michigan
LANSING, Mich. (AP) — One of Donald Trump’s emissaries to Arab Americans is a Lebanese-born businessman who moved to Texas as a teenager, speaks Arabic, English and French, and recently joined the Trump family when his son married the former president’s younger daughter.
Massad Boulos has taken on the challenge of trying to convince a politically influential community angry at President Joe Biden that Trump is a better option. But many Arab Americans also note Trump has positioned himself as more pro-Israel than Biden and has made a series of comments and policy announcements that critics blast as Islamophobic.
Trump has long put family members and their relatives in key roles in his campaigns and the White House. Boulos, whose son Michael married Tiffany Trump two years ago, is the latest relative to rise in Trump’s political orbit as he uses long-standing connections in an effort to build support for the presumptive Republican nominee’s 2024 campaign.

“…The Dearborn community is overwhelmingly Muslim, and majority Shiite Muslim. Shiites are a minority in the Muslim world. It’s also mostly Lebanese, with smaller pockets of Iraqis, Yemenis, and Palestinians.
Nationally, Arab Americans are roughly half Muslims and half Christians. Metro Detroit also has a number of smaller Arab communities, many of them majority Christian—like the growing Chaldean community in Sterling Heights.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — The IRS plans to end a major tax loophole for wealthy taxpayers that could raise more than $50 billion in revenue over the next decade, the U.S. Treasury Department says.The proposed rule and guidance announced Monday includes plans to essentially stop “partnership basis shifting” — a process by which a business or person can move assets among a series of related parties to avoid paying taxes.
Biden administration officials said after evaluating the practice that there are no economic grounds for these transactions, with Deputy Treasury Secretary Wally Adeyemo calling it “really just a shell game.” The officials said the additional IRS funding provided through the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act had enabled increased oversight and greater awareness of the practice.
“These tax shelters allow wealthy taxpayers to avoid paying what they owe,” IRS commissioner Danny Werfel said.

GOPers on social media have been in a frenzy the past hour over the fencing going up around the Supreme Court ahead of a major decision.
The problem? No fencing has gone up - the idiots have been mass sharing a clip from May 5, 2022 showing the fence before the court overturned Roe vs. Wade. And like the echo chamber that it is, everyone else keeps sharing and spreading the word till you have a ton of people claiming “look at this video, it’s going up now just like in May 2022” while unknowingly using actual video from May 2022.

A few years ago, I became FB friends with a New Jersey woman who was a childhood friend of a friend of mine, who passed away 3 years ago. He had recommended that we become friends because, he assured me, she shared our common perspective on issues.
And yes, while she really detests Trump, it has become clear over the past few months that she absolutely hates undocumented immigrants whom she considers dangerous interlopers and routinely blasts Biden for taking any measures to assist them. She apparently had been very involved in assisting individual immigrants over the years and now cannot understand why many she befriended are now totally estranged from her. I’m not sure what is going on here. I gently suggested today that both businesses and families routinely employ undocumented immigrants, and that when there was a Republican immigration package designed to deal with the issue, Trump ordered the Republicans to block it. But she resented my suggestion and said it was all on Biden.
It concerns me greatly the combination of continued “high” prices, the student protests against Israel, and the immigration problem will torpedo the Biden re-election and return the psychopath to power.
Since “the latest album” also means “the newest album” does that mean you can say “you’re new” when you mean “you’re late”?

re: #35 DodgerFan1988
And, giving credit where credit is due, a reporter for the Christian Post reported this evening that Robert Morris (the guy strongly alleged to have sexually assaulted a 12 YO for 4.5 years) wrote in a book that after he left the ministry in 1987, he was a security guard at a Motel 6 for a month. Then he got a job at the prayer room of James Robison, another prosperity preacher.
This is different than what the elders of the Gateway megachurch said in their email to staff last Friday. They said he was out of ministry for two years (basically after the girl’s father threatened him). Well, apparently this wasn’t run by Morris first, maybe because Morris and his wife are said to be on a trip in Greece. And that trip may be related to him being a producer on an upcoming series about King David that’s being filmed in Greece for Amazon. He may be yachting around to filming sites.
Of course, this last is just rumor and innuendo, but what is true is that Morris wrote in a book that he had been out of ministry for a month before getting hired by James Robison. Oh yeah, and the reason God wanted him out of the ministry for a season? Morris’ pride.

Reuters tries to out-do the NYT in going out and talking to the downtrodden masses about their need for a right-wing nut case:
‘Normal’ Nigel Farage resonates with UK seaside voters
Nigel Farage’s brand of politics has found a home in the English seaside town of Clacton-on-Sea, where voters described the right-wing party leader as a straight talker who, unlike other candidates, understands their problems and wants to solve them.
[…]
Farage is an expensively educated former financial trader. But decades of railing against the establishment have earned him the trust of supporters who say they feel other politicians talk down to them.
“I feel like he’s more normal. He understands us,” Venetia Maynard, 29, a cleaner, said while out shopping on Monday.
[…]
Interviewed on the day Farage launched his Reform UK’s plan for government, Maynard said she was going to vote for him although she didn’t know that much about his policies.
[…]
“I think he represents the working class a lot more than general politicians do. I mean, they’re so out of touch with the working class. How can they represent a labourer or a cleaner or a bus driver?” said Michael Chaplin, 32, a roofer, as he strolled along the seafront. Clacton is a place where many people feel left behind, he said.
All of those little people who have been “left behind” all over the UK… feel an elitist con-man is going to be their guy.
It’s just about not wanting to be left behind (whatever that means), right?
Well…
Kevin Ives, 63, a carer, said Farage was “brilliant” and he would vote for him. “Because he says what’s totally obvious. If we keep bringing people into this country at the rate we are: eventually disaster.”
Well there goes the mask.
As usual, it really is all about those dirty immigrants.
I suspect some of these people in Clacton are old BNP and UKIP types anyway, but Reuters wants us to think they are just little people who don’t want to be “left behind”.
So apparently it is warm back in parts of the US - I’d never know here, a bit chilly (currently 59F here) and I still have to wear my hoodie outdoors.

Heat warning scaled up in Delhi as ‘longest ever’ heatwave continues
A “red alert” was issued for Delhi this week as the country’s “longest-ever” heatwave continued to scorch north and central India.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) issued the alert which is the highest on its weather scale once again this year as temperatures in Delhi soared above 44C.
The alert warns of an “extremely high likelihood” of heatstroke and heat illness for all ages.
Delhi recorded temperatures of 44.9C on Sunday, which is six degrees above the normal, and has been under an orange alert. The minimum temperature was recorded at 33.2C, almost six degrees above the seasonal average.
The Met office said Delhi has seen a heatwave persisting for the eighth straight day again after a brief break in the first week of June.
Sunday also marked the 35th consecutive day when the city’s maximum temperature exceeded 40C.
Heatwaves also scorched India’s most populous state, Uttar Pradesh, which saw temperatures soar above 46C in several cities on Sunday.
The city of Prayagraj in UP recorded a temperature of 47.2C, becoming the hottest in India for the fifth time in the past 10 days,
The IMD earlier confirmed that this year India has faced its “longest-ever” heatwave with 24 straight days of scorching temperatures above 40C recorded in May.
During that period, hundreds of heatstroke deaths were reported, including dozens of poll workers as India was concluding its six phase elections.
[…]
Sunil Kumar Aledia, an activist working with homeless people in Delhi, told The Independent earlier this month that over 400 people had died on streets of Delhi since March.
[…]
40C = 104F. Americans should try living a whole month with highs above that, to experience what Delhi and that part of India is going through.
The only places in the US with month-long temps above 100F are here in the desert southwest, but the humidity is usually single digits so one can cool off by sweating.
As if Elon has not already done enough damage:
Satellites like Starlink could deplete Earth’s ozone layer, study says
Elon Musk’s Starlink satellites could damage the Earth’s protective ozone layer when they are deorbited, new research suggests.
Mega satellite constellations such as SpaceX’s Starlink spew copious amounts of aluminium oxide gas in the atmosphere that could deplete the ozone layer, according to the research published last week in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.
SpaceX has launched more than 6,000 satellites and counting to beam internet, with each new model getting heavier.
These satellites are designed to burn up in the atmosphere when their service lives end, researchers from the University of Southern California say.
Aluminium oxides deplete ozone by causing it to react destructively with chlorine, the study says.
[…]
Scientists are particularly concerned as the demand for global internet coverage is driving up launches of small communication satellites.
[…]
“The environmental impacts from the reentry of satellites are currently poorly understood,” scientists say.
A small satellite produces about 30 kg of aluminium oxides when it burns up.
In 2022 alone, researchers say, falling satellites may have contributed about 17 tonnes of tiny aluminium oxide particles.
When all the currently planned satellite constellations are in place, scientists estimate, more than 350 tonnes of aluminium oxides will be released each year.
This is a whopping increase of nearly 650 per cent over natural atmospheric levels.
SpaceX alone has permission to launch another 12,000 Starlink satellites while Amazon and other tech giants also plan to launch thousands of satellites in the coming years.
[…]
Seems like we are intent on dooming ourselves.

BoJo is back, and playing all the usual tunes to keep the masses from dumping the Tories for the BNP UKIP Reform UK party:
Boris Johnson stepped into the general election battle as the Tories were desperately trying to stop voters deserting them for Nigel Farage’s Reform.
The former Prime Minister was writing letters and doing campaign videos for some candidates, including in the so-called “Red Wall”.
In one for Alice Hopkin, Tory candidate in Normanton & Hemsworth, West Yorkshire, he warns voters against giving Sir Keir Starmer a “super-majority”.
His intervention comes as polls pointed to voters deserting the Conservatives for Reform in significant numbers, which could cost Rishi Sunak’s party dozens of seats.
Mr Johnson said: “If you vote for Alice you will avoid handing Labour a majority, even perhaps a super-majority, to take this country backwards with higher taxes, more wokery, kowtowing to Brussels again and of course more illegal immigration.

Tropical Update (another one):
Invest 92L has formed far north of the US Virgin Islands and east of The Bahamas. The storm is given a 20% chance of development as it tracks toward the US coastline in the area of north Florida, Georgia, or South Carolina, reaching the coast at the end of the period.
Atlantic 7-Day Graphical Tropical Outlook
Potential Tropical Cyclone #2 (Invest 91L) in the intermediate advisory issued at 1AM CDT has the storm located 440 miles / 705 km south-east of Brownsville, Texas.
The National Hurricane Center advises heavy rain and coastal flooding will start across north-east Mexico and Texas later today.
A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for…
* The Texas coast from Port O’Connor southward to the mouth of the
Rio Grande
* The northeastern coast of Mexico south of the mouth of the Rio
Grande to Puerto de Altamira.

The longitudinal assessment of prenatal cannabis use on neonatal outcomes
Results
Among participants analyzed, 13.1% used cannabis, who were generally younger (25.9 vs 27.9 years). There was a sevenfold increased risk of fetal death (OR 7.30) among cannabis users relative to non-users. Elevated risk persisted after adjustments of potential confounders (aOR 6.31). Adjusted models also suggested increased low birth weight risk (aOR 1.67).Conclusion
This study highlights an association between prenatal cannabis use and elevated risks for fetal death and low birth weight.
Not surprising.
re: #50 JC1
This seems like nonsense. These satellites are pretty small. Even 12k of them shouldn’t make a dent.
As noted in the article, “more than 350 tonnes of aluminium oxides will be released each year.”
So > 350,000 kg of aluminum oxides per year.
The authors are pretty clear that they think this amount of aluminum oxides per year in the upper atmosphere will set off chemical reactions that will do in the ozone.
It’s birbday. Happy birbday to all who celebrate!

Doing my usual walk around of the property. See who has the door hanger up for no housekeeping, clean up trash in the halls, etc. Got down to the first floor in the far stairwell and discovered a blue tote like they use to get restock at stores like Walgreens or Kwik Trip & a back pack of cheap non-perishable food stuffs. Most of it’s dirty. Seems like someone stashed it in there to be out of the storms but not sure where our homeless person is.

re: #50 JC1
This seems like nonsense. These satellites are pretty small. Even 12k of them shouldn’t make a dent.
The study is not embargoed and appeared in the journal Geophysical Research Letters on June 11, 2024. Since I cannot assess the maths in the study (way beyond a high school education), I have to go for the explanatory text.
TL;DR
The study notes that a 250kg satellite generates around 30kg of aluminium oxide as it burns up in the upper atmosphere (this does not include launch vehicles). Aluminium oxide is a known catalyst to create nitrogen oxide and chlorine, both of which break up ozone. Such aluminium compounds stay in the atmosphere for decades.
The limiting factor is that a reëntering satellite cannot be monitored for what sorts of materials are deposited in the atmosphere. Approximations can be made based on the makeup of satellites and rocket bodies. Natural sources (meteors) account for nearly 12,000 tonnes of material every year.
Moreover, the expected number of satellites launched into low Earth orbit is projected to dramatically increase.
The study also summarises studies done in the past showing the same problem.
Not related to this study, it has been suggested in the past that both rocket bodies and satellites at the end of their life be powered out of orbit into deep space or at the Sun, over the same problems regarding both pollution and ozone-depletion. Corporate launch companies oppose this though (extra fuel and weight to dispose of a satellite or rocket body).
re: #52 Love-Child of Cassandra and Sisyphus
The idea that “the amount seems pretty small” is the same sort of argument which was promoted by the Merchants of Doubt (I’m not making that accusation here though) regarding the fractions of an ounce of chlorofluorocarbons released from aerosol cans and air conditioning systems.
Those fractions of ounces added up over many decades, creating the now-infamous ozone holes over the poles.
The same would be true of satellites and rocket bodies, except much more than fractions of an ounce.
Potential Tropical Cyclone One 4AM CDT update from the National Hurricane Center is out.
A Tropical Storm Warning is issued from the Tamaulipas-Texas border to Port O’Connor, Texas.
The invest is in the Bay of Campeche moving north at six miles per hour. Maximum sustained winds are 40mph and extend 290 miles from the centre. Strengthening is expected; formation chance within forty-eight hours is now 80%. The storm centre is about 420 miles SE of South Padre Island.
The likely onset of tropical storm-force winds in the warned area is 8PM CDT Wednesday.

This is not the first time churches have kicked out people with service dogs.
In the case of this church, they claimed that loud music and flashing lights might startle the dog, the dog might make a mess in the church, and people might be scared of the dog or allergic to it.
The ADA specifically prohibits those excuses. However, the Act has a specific carve-out for churches because we are a secular nation and never write religious exemption into the law /s. They did not have to give any reason at all (but they had to Lie for Jesus since service dogs are trained for those things).
Although it seems a cold way to describe it, service animals are considered medical equipment. A church kicking out a blind woman with a service dog would be the same as if they kicked out a woman using a wheelchair.
On top of that, there are people who are selfish, and for some perceived advantage will take a pet and dress it up in service animal clothing. By taking advantage of the commons for selfish reasons they make things more difficult for people who actually need a service animal.
re: #61 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))
Ashcroft is a fundamentalist (think covering up the statue with a sheet at the Department of Justice) but I’m not aware of him being opposed to dogs.
At the time he was in office, The Atlantic published a negative piece about liberals thinking he was a dangerous fundamentalist (The Atlantic has been laundering Republicans for a long time), whilst Reason did a piece on why they thought he was cruel and had authoritarian tendencies.

It’s more about not having money and finally realizing you have to spend some anyway.
Read the whole thing.
Up until our country’s postwar heyday, it was common for grandparents to live in the family home. Now, it’s usually a sign there’s something amiss—either the grandparents need to be looked after or the kids need better care. Out of the more than two million kids being raised by their grandparents in the U.S., the majority are living with their family elders due to a parent’s drug abuse.
In West Virginia, which has the highest rate of opioid overdose deaths in the nation, half of all grandparents living with their grandchildren are also raising them. But here, in the state’s southwestern Lincoln County, where sleepy towns are tucked into rolling hills, an employee for the local school district estimates that the majority of kids are now being raised by their grandparents.
re: #77 Shropshire Slasher
In Germany, extended family is closer to the norm: Grandparents often either live in the same house or in the same village or a neighboring village.
Sometimes I did not envy people who still have their parents monitoring their comings and goings but when we started raising kids we certainly would’ve appreciated a built-in babysitter service.

It appears that he blames President Biden for HAMAS not releasing the hostages for some weird reason. If you google him, you’ll see his “Cadaver Biden” Instagram post where he disparages Biden and states that voting for Trump is on the table. Smh.
What Donald Trump Learned From Don King“As much as any figure has in Mr. Trump’s grand, rampaging public life, Mr. King modeled what Mr. Trump considered to be success for a Black man in America. For the former president, Mr. King was both ally and example — a half-generation older and an avatar of unrepentant excess and streetwise bravado in Mr. Trump’s 1980s heyday in New York.”
this is embarrassing for the NYT
tfg is running for president, not “boxing promoter”
then again, the appeal is clear:
- king made his money grifting - stealing from boxers, including Ali.
- and he killed two men
Talk about depreciation! Check out the damage to the car, I would never imagine this would get totaled.
A car insurance firm has left an Arizona motorist thousands of dollars in debt after it refused to pay out on a claim because he paid 60 cents less than he should have for his $60,000 car.
His credit union accidentally sent the dealer a check for $60,517.26, or 60 cents less, but it went unnoticed until November last year when his car was totaled, and his insurer Safe-Guard Products used the discrepancy as an excuse not to pay up.
He still owed $45,000 on the car but the insurance company sent him a check for just the $26,709 it would have been worth at the time of the crash.
They told him the amount charged for the car, and the amount paid, had to match to the penny for the gap policy to be valid, leaving him with no car and an outstanding debt of $18,651.

Thailand becomes the first Southeast Asian nation to legalize same-sex marriage.
Thailand has become the first nation in South-East Asia to legalise same sex marriage, with the country’s Senate approving the landmark bill this afternoon.
The legislation was expected to pass after it cleared the country’s House of Representatives in a near-unanimous vote in March.
Despite Thailand’s bustling gay bars and prominent transgender community making it a mecca for LGBTQ+ tourists, until now local same-sex couples there have been unable to marry.
The law will take effect 120 days after its announcement in the Royal Gazette, so the first same sex weddings may take place later this year.
Couples who have been waiting years have hailed the move as a historic moment that will afford them rights only reserved for spouses.

Security concerns for agency workers have led the United States Agriculture Department to suspend its inspections of avocados and mangos imported from Mexico “until further notice,” the U.S.D.A. said on Monday.Produce already cleared for export will not be affected by the decision, but avocado supplies in the United States, which mostly come from the Mexican state of Michoacán, could eventually be affected if the inspections are not resumed.
The inspections “will remain paused until the security situation is reviewed and protocols and safeguards are in place,” a U.S.D.A. spokesman said in an email.

Archaeologists in Israel recently made a “dramatic” discovery that provides invaluable historical knowledge about Jewish life in the ancient Roman era of Israel, officials said.
The Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) announced the excavation of a site in Lod, which is in central Israel, on Facebook on Sunday.
The IAA explained that its archaeologists recently found the remains of a “destroyed Jewish public building” that once stood in Syria Palaestina, or Roman Palestine.
“Among the various finds in the building were impressive stone and marble artifacts; Greek, Hebrew and Latin inscriptions, and one inscription bearing the name of a Jewish man from a priestly family, which is still being studied,” the IAA said.
“These inscriptions, coupled with the complete absence of pig bones from the bone assemblage uncovered in this site, attest to this building’s association with the Jewish community.”
Notably, excavators found a hoard of 94 coins that are roughly 1,650 years old.

Don King’s legal history is chequered, to say the least. In 1954, he was arrested (see mug shot above) after fatally shooting Hillary Brown when he was caught attempting to rob a gambling house owned by King. However, charges did not stick and he was a free man after a judge ruled the killing was a ‘justifiable homicide’.
Twelve years later in 1966, King was responsible for the death of another man, Sam Garrett, who owed him $600 from a bet. After a brief argument, the two men were brawling in the street but Garrett, a drug addict and a much smaller man, was no match for King and was soon left helpless to an onslaught of blows that would result in his death. King claimed he was acting in self-defence and witness accounts varied. However, he was convicted of second-degree murder which, amidst claims of corruption and bribery, was effectively changed to manslaughter; as a result, King was a free man in less than four years.

And their desperate leaks and lies to the right-wing media only underscore how scared Donald Trump is to debate.This is Donald’s debate playbook: lies, distractions, and deceit.Donald Trump and his campaign are scared because they can’t defend his record, personal conduct, or extreme agenda in front of the American people.Donald can’t defend that he’s a criminal who has been convicted of 34 felonies, was found liable for sexual assault, committed financial fraud, and is only out for himself.

Statement from TJ Ducklo, Biden-Harris 2024 Senior Advisor for Communications:”
Donald Trump has been playing games around debates for years: lying about negotiations, bailing at the last minute, and making insane accusations about moderators and microphones all because he’s terrified to defend the dangerous and extreme things he’s done and promises to do again.”Joe Biden will be at the debate standing up for our democracy, our freedoms, and the American people.

The fact that his attorney claimed that the 12-year old girl was being flirtatious shows that Morris has no remorse.
Rudy Giuliani’s creditors requested Monday that an independent trustee handle the former New York mayor’s personal and business finances from now on due to his inability to file timely and complete paperwork in his bankruptcy trial in New York. Judge Sean Lane didn’t rule on their request, but did express dissatisfaction with how Giuliani has handled his affairs. “There are reasons to be very concerned here. I’m not going to beat a dead horse,” he said. Additionally, a lawyer for the Justice Department’s U.S. Trustee’s office on Monday indicated that the office is also displeased with Giuliani, and may file a motion to dismiss the case. That could remove several protections Giuliani has been afforded after he filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy last December. Giuliani, who has been indicted on election interference-related charges in Georgia and Arizona, owes more than $150 million—the vast majority to two Georgia election workers he defamed. His creditors have said that dealing with him is like being “on a hamster wheel,” in part because his bankruptcy accountant quit last month—leaving the 80-year-old to potentially handle things himself.

This is why Smellvis will pick J. Dickhead Vance as his Veep.
‘Tour de force’ of BS: J.D. Vance shocks columnist with N.Y. Times sitdown
Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) is rocketing toward the top of Donald Trump’s shortlist for running mates, and a political insider explained why the freshman senator could be his choice.
The Ohio Republican sat down recently with New York Times columnist Ross Douthat to discuss class struggle, the war in Ukraine, Vance’s book “Hillbilly Elegy” and the legitimacy of the 2020 election, and The Bulwark’s White House correspondent Andrew Egger was disgusted by his response.
“He’s easily the most gifted and most enthusiastic s—t-shoveler on the shortlist,” Egger wrote.
“I am not kidding: This might be the most impressive piece of election bulls—tting I have ever seen,” Egger added. “It’s a tour de force that does three things at once: It endorses the most aggressively abusive strategy for stealing the election Trump contemplated in 2020, it absolves Trump of the strategies that didn’t work, and it works in some sneering at libs who think that wielding naked political power to steal an election might qualify as a step toward dictatorship.”
Vance told Douthat that going to court to prove fraud was strategically unwise, because “you can’t litigate these things judicially,” but instead argued that “you have to litigate them politically” and lamented there had been hardly any political debate about the outcome of that election.
“This might seem an odd claim, since all of us, including Ross Douthat and J.D. Vance, have spent insane amounts of time debating the 2020 election ever since it happened,” Egger wrote. “But to Vance, ‘political debate’ isn’t just having a robust public discourse about what factually happened. ‘Political debate,’ in Vance’s telling, is something that couldn’t really happen in 2020 unless Mike Pence, rather than certifying Biden’s win, endorsed Republicans’ fraudulent ‘effort to provide alternative slates of electors.’”
“In other words, Vance is being euphemistic,” Egger added. “What he refers to as ‘political debate’ is what the rest of us would call a constitutional crisis.”
Trump continues to insist that his loss was the result of widespread fraud in multiple states, although dozens of lawsuits alleging those claims failed - which Vance blames on disgraced attorney Jenna Ellis and not the former president - but the senator and would-be vice presidential hopeful says those legal challenges are irrelevant.
“It was a mistake, Vance maintains, to spend all that time trying to prove fraud,” Egger wrote. “The fact that millions of Republicans believed there had been fraud was enough: Republicans should’ve jumped straight into trying to seize the presidency by political force. Otherwise, Vance argues, ‘an entire section of our democratic republic would’ve had their concerns ignored.’”
Egger was astonished that Vance, when he described what might have happened had this “insane plan” actually worked and kept Trump in office despite losing the electoral vote, found a way to characterize Republicans as the victims.
“In this universe — where Trump has unshackled himself from the will of the voters and forced his way to another term without ever proving an ounce of fraud — here’s Vance, still whining that liberals would have the gall to call him an authoritarian! ” Egger wrote. “After all, Trump would have just ‘served four more years and retired’ — why are you all getting so bent out of shape?”
Egger doesn’t see how Trump could choose anyone else to join him at the top of the Republican ticket.
“If you’re Trump, what’s the point in keeping looking? ” Egger wrote. “The perfectly pliable, highly intelligent, utterly morally bankrupt option is right in front of you, just waiting for the tap-in.”

As noted in the article, “more than 350 tonnes of aluminium oxides will be released each year.”
So > 350,000 kg of aluminum oxides per year.
The authors are pretty clear that they think this amount of aluminum oxides per year in the upper atmosphere will set off chemical reactions that will do in the ozone.

re: #55 Anymouse 🌹🏡😷
The study is not embargoed and appeared in the journal Geophysical Research Letters on June 11, 2024. Since I cannot assess the maths in the study (way beyond a high school education), I have to go for the explanatory text.
TL;DR
The study notes that a 250kg satellite generates around 30kg of aluminium oxide as it burns up in the upper atmosphere (this does not include launch vehicles). Aluminium oxide is a known catalyst to create nitrogen oxide and chlorine, both of which break up ozone. Such aluminium compounds stay in the atmosphere for decades.
The limiting factor is that a reëntering satellite cannot be monitored for what sorts of materials are deposited in the atmosphere. Approximations can be made based on the makeup of satellites and rocket bodies. Natural sources (meteors) account for nearly 12,000 tonnes of material every year.
Moreover, the expected number of satellites launched into low Earth orbit is projected to dramatically increase.
The study also summarises studies done in the past showing the same problem.
Not related to this study, it has been suggested in the past that both rocket bodies and satellites at the end of their life be powered out of orbit into deep space or at the Sun, over the same problems regarding both pollution and ozone-depletion. Corporate launch companies oppose this though (extra fuel and weight to dispose of a satellite or rocket body).
TY for the link to the actual study.

No link to the study was provided, and no authors were named. Reads like a hit piece or apocalyptic fiction.
Edit: NM Anymouse linked to the actual study.
Although the authors refer to numerous ESA publications for numbers of expected re-entries, they seemingly ignore an ESA sponsored study looking at the actual (not theoretical) effects of re-entering satellites, which found:
The main results show that the atmospheric short-term impact due to a single spacecraft demise is modest. The dispersion of the plume created by a large single reentry event induces an atmospheric ozone destruction on a regional scale with maximum peak ozone loss of less than 1% on the first day, becoming totally negligible after a week (thus much smaller than its natural variability).

EV maker Fisker has filed for Chapter 11 protection.
Electric vehicle maker Fisker filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, the second electric startup to do so in the last year as even industry leaders struggle to lure more buyers beyond the early adapters of the technology.
Fisker Group Inc. said in a filing with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware that its estimated assets are between $500 million and $1 billion. It estimated liabilities are between $100 million and $500 million, with between 200 and 999 creditors.
“Like other companies in the electric vehicle industry, we have faced various market and macroeconomic headwinds that have impacted our ability to operate efficiently,” the company said in a prepared statement late Monday. “After evaluating all options for our business, we determined that proceeding with a sale of our assets under Chapter 11 is the most viable path forward for the company.”

I’ve been getting my thirst for schadenfreude quenched by watching videos about how fucked the Tories are, and its been making me think about how surreal American politics is right now. America has a strong economy with full employment and the GOP is a shitshow led by the worst possible candidate who is also a convicted felon, and yet the election is somehow a tossup? What gives me hope is that Biden is weakest with low information voters, so presumably as they start to pay attention and get more information, they will shift towards Biden, and polls have shown signs of tightening in favor of President Biden lately.

The Biden that gives addresses and participates in debates isn’t the man they see in the propaganda that has them twisted up. They can come back to reality - where being a Republican after their coup attempt is terrible, or they can make up a reason for Biden’s excellent performance. Coming back to reality is much more difficult emotionally, so they make the easy choice.

It wasn’t suicide … they were murdered’: inside the Jonestown cult massacre
im Jones’s orders on 18 November 1978, are so famous that the phrase “drink the Kool-Aid” has entered the American vernacular as a shorthand for buying wholesale into a dubious belief system - though as several survivors testify in a new documentary series, the phrase is misleading and offensive; the deaths of more than 900 people, including over 300 children, from cyanide poisoning was contemporarily characterized as a mass suicide, but the tragedy of Jonestown is more accurately described as a mass murder.
…
Meanwhile, Jones called everyone to the pavilion in Jonestown, claimed there was no hope of survival, and urged his followers, to “cross over” through death. The series includes audio of Jones’s coercion, including protestations from followers. Some consumed poison under duress, others by force; Ret Gen David Netterville, who helped lead the investigation and retrieval effort in the aftermath, attests to seeing bodies with forcible injections of cyanide. “I hate the references that somehow they did this voluntarily, that there was suicide - it wasn’t. They were murdered,” said Speier.

During coverage before the former president’s scheduled rally on Tuesday, reporters for RSBN said there was a celebratory atmosphere at the rally over Trump’s recent 34 felony convictions.
“We see so many shirts with people kind of celebrating with President Trump when it comes to being a felon and the conviction,” one RSBN reporter noted. “I don’t think any of that is a weighing in on these people’s decision come November.”
“Absolutely,” a second reporter agreed. “It’s giving President Trump a boost. It has definitely [helped] in his campaign fundraising. We know that he has raised record amount of funds since those convictions.”
The reporter pointed to slogans on T-shirts as evidence of supporters being energized by Trump’s felony convictions.
“You have bumper stickers, ‘I support police,’ ‘Trump 2024,’ ‘Never surrender,” she noted. “You see a lot of shirts now since he’s been found guilty that ‘I’m voting for a felon.’”

“Nice avocado orchard you got here.
Be a shame if something happened.
Don’t need no gringos coming around.”
Article in Harper’s, Nov. 2023.
Michoacán, where around four in five of all avocados consumed in the United States are grown, is the most important avocado-producing region in the world, accounting for nearly a third of the global supply. This cultivation requires a huge quantity of land, much of it found beneath native pine forests, and an even more startling quantity of water. It is often said that it takes about twelve times as much water to grow an avocado as it does a tomato. Recently, competition for control of the avocado, and of the resources needed to produce it, has grown increasingly violent, often at the hands of cartels. A few years ago, in nearby Uruapan, nineteen people were found hanging from an overpass, piled beneath a pedestrian bridge, or dumped on the roadside in various states of undress and dismemberment—a particularly gory incident that some experts believe emerged from cartel clashes over the multibillion-dollar trade.
In Cherán, however, there was no such violence. Nor were there any avocados. Twelve years ago, the town’s residents prevented corrupt officials and a local cartel from illegally cutting down native forests to make way for the crop. A group of locals took loggers hostage while others incinerated their trucks. Soon, townspeople had kicked out the police and local government, canceled elections, and locked down the whole area. A revolutionary experiment was under way. Months later, Cherán reopened with an entirely new state apparatus in place. Political parties were banned, and a governing council had been elected; a reforestation campaign was undertaken to replenish the barren hills; a military force was chartered to protect the trees and the town’s water supply; some of the country’s most advanced water filtration and recycling programs were created. And the avocado was outlawed.
The government lost control to the cartels, the people say, ‘we got it.’

Of course, nothing short of actual ip address blocking would stop determined circumvention, but apparently DNS poisoning is considered to be “good enough” in this case.
A French court has ordered Google, Cloudflare, and Cisco to poison their DNS resolvers to prevent circumvention of blocking measures, targeting around 117 pirate sports streaming domains.

Trump will say the same nonsense as always; lack of notes are irrelevant to him and will not impact his performance.

Few of us have the perfect memory, especially when we are under very tight time pressure.

Exactly. Our corgi was just a comfort dog that may wife would take to hospitals and nursing homes for the patients to pet and love on. It was a 4 week course to get certified for that gig. All kinds of training and testing how they reacted to different stimulation. Having someone rush up to them unexpectedly, loud noises, loud talkers. At one of the session they had this guy with a clanky walker and a loud voice come up quickly to each dog to see how they handle it. Of the ~30 dogs that started the course only about 18 made it though. And service animals go through much more training than that.
