Today’s program from our podcasting affiliate, The Bob Cesca Show:

Tara Dublin’s BidenBrags — You might know Tara from her book, The Sound of Settling, or from her appearances on Hal Sparks Megaworldwide and from her regular appearances on this show. Today was a free-wheeling conversation about everything from the polls to breaking through the political news media’s malpractice to a particularly gross story about Lindsey Graham, and more! By the way, there are some annoying audio issues in the first 15 minutes or so, but I think we worked them out, so bear that in mind.

Well yeah, but there was that short blip in 2021 due to the pandemic causing issues with policing and changes in people’s routines, so obviously Biden oversaw that worst crime wave in American history.

Unicorn farts and pixie dust.

But seriously, they don’t have plans because many of them either still think “I made it through four years of him, I can survive another four years” or they’re the sort of deluded fuckwits who still believe that an unrestricted Trump will drive public outrage so far through the roof that “the people” will finally rise up in “revolution” and we’ll be on our way to a socialist utopia in no time.

As if an attempted revolution against authoritarian dictator Trump wouldn’t be just as deadly, and doomed to failure, as an attempted revolution by the revolting MAGAt hordes against the lawfully elected administration. Not that I think we shouldn’t try, if it came down to that, but let’s be realistic - it’s a last-ditch option precisely because that’s where most of us will wind up - in our last ditch.

Ain’t that a shame!

Mike Lindell officially loses all his lawyers in $5M ‘Prove Mike Wrong’ cyber challenge

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell has been officially notified that he no longer has legal representation in a case in which he was ordered to pay over $5 million for a security contest related to the 2020 presidential election.

Engineer Robert Zeidman entered the “Prove Mike Wrong” challenge and proved that Lindell did not possess data showing that the 2020 election was stolen from former President Donald Trump.

The challenge rules mandated arbitration for disagreements about the outcome, which Zeidman won. The case eventually went to federal court, where Lindell again lost in February. The ruling included a provision for post-judgment interest on the $5 million prize.

By March, two of Lindell’s three attorneys notified the court they would no longer represent him. But the pillow executive moved forward with an appeal anyway.

On June 4, Lindell’s final attorney, Cary Joshi, notified the court by email that he was also dropping the case.

“Counsel for Respondent has notified the Court by email that he can no longer serve as lead counsel for Respondent,” Magistrate Judge Dulce J. Foster wrote.

Foster ordered Joshi to file a motion to withdraw and to notify Lindell Management LLC directly.

The attorney complied with the directive on Tuesday in a motion noting that Lindell’s company had been notified.

Douglas Wardlow, general counsel for Lindell Management LLC, accepted the declaration on behalf of Lindell.

It was unclear if Lindell would retain new counsel in the case. As Foster pointed out, business entities cannot represent themselves in court.

Remember that many of these are people who thought that Bernie wouldn’t need Congressional support for his policies, he’d just toss them out there on the table and then millions of his supporters would picket the Capital Building until his critics bent the knee and passed everything despite whatever disagreements they may have.

Because, y’know, never in the history of America has Congress refused to take action because it would help the president in power.////////

Cut out the scifi elements and it’s basically an American adaptation of a Kurosawa samurai film. Young farm boy learns he’s really the heir to an ancient clan of powerful samurai, gets taken on a journey by his father’s old friend/master as well as a conman and a brute, winds up involved in a rebellion against a tyrant whose lieutenant and the master are mysteriously familiar in a way that’s never explained, then the farm boy proves to be instrumental in some major battle by relying upon skills that he’d never known he had until now. Big celebration scene and then cut to credits.

Star Wars (what we know now as Episode IV: A New Hope) is literally a (slightly retooled) retelling of The Hidden Fortress:

American director George Lucas has acknowledged the heavy influence of The Hidden Fortress on his 1977 film Star Wars,[20][21][22] particularly in the technique of telling the story from the perspective of the film’s lowliest characters, C-3PO and R2-D2.[23][24] Some of the major characters from Star Wars have clear analogues in The Hidden Fortress, including C-3PO and R2-D2 being based on Tahei and Matashichi, and Princess Leia on Princess Yuki. Lucas’s original plot outline for Star Wars bore an even greater resemblance to the plot of The Hidden Fortress;[25] this draft would subsequently be reused as the basis for The Phantom Menace. The movie is referenced in Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, where during a cutscene for the first level of Return of the Jedi, there is a flag written in Aurebesh, which translates to “Hidden Fortress”.

re: #21 jeffreyw

I’ve yet to come across something in the Star Wars universe that I didn’t like. The sequel trilogy isn’t necessarily the story I would have told, but it was fun enough. Would I have preferred that they had one creative vision through the three movies? Sure, but it’s not like there was one in the original trilogy. World building is hard, especially something as vast as the Star Wars universe has become under Disney, so not everything is going to be for everyone. But the general disdain for a lot of the new stuff gets annoying.

We’re back from town. My wife’s dentist fired her whilst we were in Texas because she refused to sign up for dental insurance. (Never mind we’ve always paid cash.)

She hunted around and learned a new dentist just opened an office in the county seat after moving here from North Platte. (Yay, thirty-four miles closer!)

The new dentist made an appointment for today.

Interestingly, in her office, she has a poster on the wall behind her receptionist stating the standard prices for routine work, such as cleanings, X-rays, or fillings. Another sign on the wall says she does not take credit cards or debit cards, and gives a 15% discount if you use a cheque instead of cash (doesn’t have to keep money in the office).

That went well: Her office is only the second in the state to adopt a new cleaning system which works something like a pressure washer, instead of using normal dental scraping and picking tools.

Although my wife was a new patient, she didn’t request X-rays, saying she’ll get them from the old dentist in Scottsbluff.

My wife has a later appointment to fix a couple fillings (and we already know how much that will cost).

And in other news, I WON THE LOTTO!

The prosperity gospel is the natural outgrowth of Calvinism.

A certain elect of God, by right and by virtue, should rule over others, who are doomed to Hell regardless of what they do. Wealth accrues to those favoured by God.

It’s not as though we Star Trek fans have any room to boast about “originality” that subsequent series/movies have strayed from. The Original Series was sold to Desilu as “A Wagon Train to the stars,” two of the principle actors (Nimoy & Kelley) had starred in Western films and TV series, and the production budget was so tight that they frequently had to reuse props and even entire sets from other productions (yes, even Westerns) to cut down on costs. And for that, you got a series that probably has a dozen episodes out of 79 that most people can remember, another dozen or two that you go “Oh yeah,” and the rest are of the “Oh yes, that one” variety.

Yeah and then there were those four Irwin Allen series in the 60s that endlessly reused props and silver aliens wound up in all 4 series. And plenty of episodes fell in that “Oh yes, that one” category.

But the general disdain for a lot of the new stuff gets annoying.

I’m almost fifty and I grew up with the original trilogy, on cable and VHS; I saw the Special Edition theatrical release of Star Wars when it was in theaters in Lucas’ runup to the prequels. When The Phantom Menace and the rest of the prequels came out, I had no desire to go see them; when I did watch what I could of them much later on home video, I was glad I didn’t see them in the theater, because I was not (and am still not) impressed with them mainly due to Lucas’ deficiencies as a director and writer.

However, that said, I did see Episodes 7-9 in the theater and, while they were all decent films at the very least, none of them grabbed me like the OT (that said, one of my faves about the sequel trilogy is Luke, who just DGAF); in the end, like the prequels, they weren’t made for me, they were to give new generations the same in to the Star Wars universe as my generation and before had with the OT (side note: also saw Rogue One in the theater, loved it; had and have no interest to see Solo).

It’s the “answer” you give when there was no “good” choice. If he didn’t show up, the MAGAt media would have castrated him on live TV while the Beltway media would have filmed the carnage. And by going, he avoids all that but gets branded a Trump lackey for his troubles. So he’s trying to fabricate a third option where he goes but he doesn’t support Trump. We’ve been watching gutless performances like this ever since the “Tea Party” started infiltrating the party ranks in 2010, and the most it ever does is prolong the agony with no real payoff. You’re not gonna be anything more than a backbencher for the rest of your days, but you get all the perks that come with polishing a chair with your ass.

For Richard Oliver, the night of June 3, 2014, was a parent’s worst nightmare.

His daughter Devin Oliver and her classmate Aubree Butts, players on the women’s basketball team at Texas A&M University at Commerce, were killed in a car crash in rural Paris, Texas. The community mourned and celebrated Oliver and Butts by creating a memorial scholarship.

“I appreciated the fact that that scholarship was targeted specifically for that demographic type — Black female athlete, and particularly basketball — because that’s who my daughter was,” Richard Oliver told The Dallas Morning News.

Now the Devin Oliver and Aubree Butts Memorial Scholarship — and 130 others across Texas — are frozen or being modified as the state’s public universities implement a new state law, according to documents obtained by The News through open records requests. The affected scholarships comprise 80 at Texas A&M University institutions, 45 at University of Texas-affiliated campuses and six at three other public universities

Early TNG turned me off because young Wesley Crusher was basically the Elmo mascot of space…WTF was he doing with access to the bridge?

I guess Paramount told Roddenberry to put a Will Robinson in the crew.

I can’t help but cheer when I see him show up in things like BBT or other shows, because I want to see him overcome that dreadful early start and do well for himself, despite TNG’s best efforts to break him.

Mainstream Republican here…

Republican Candidate Called Juneteenth, “The Most Ratchet Holiday in America”

Valentina Gomez: “Ungrateful” Black Americans, “get the f*ck out” of the country

Missouri Republican Secretary of State candidate Valentina Gomez, who frequently calls everything she doesn’t like, “weak and gay,” posted a video ahead of Juneteenth taking aim at the federal holiday celebrating the end of slavery in the United States.

Gomez is a big fan of Trump and has travelled out of state to attend his rallies. Gomez was in Detroit for Trump’s event at TPUSA this weekend and also attended a Trump rally in Ohio, taking a picture with GOP Senate candidate Bernie Moreno and sitting behind Trump.

In her latest campaign video, Gomez called Juneteenth, “the most ratchet holiday in America” and told Black Americans to “get the fuck out of the country” if they don’t like it:

> “Reparations from slavery and Black victimization is about to be shoved down our throats for the most ratchet holiday in America.”

Gomez then stated “it is outrageous to see people asking for reparations even though they never went through slavery.” Gomez then called Black Americans, “these ungrateful people” and demanded that instead of discussing slavery and it’s economic impact, they “should be celebrating because they were born in the greatest nation to ever exist.”

Texas is the only state to fight TWO civil wars to preserve slavery.

Remember the Alamo —- and that Texas was fighting against Mexico to keep Blacks enslaved when Mexico had already abolished slavery. It wasn’t until recently that I learned that there was an Underground Railroad into Mexico from American slave holding states.

Unions should be doing more to celebrate Juneteenth, a day notable for workers finding out that ‘management’ had been lying to them so they could steal their labor juuuust a little bit longer.

It won’t happen, but if a couple of high profile athletes moved to other out of state schools, states like Texas might rethink this shit. But, that’s all pretty much fantasy.

A sweeping manhunt in New York City ended on Tuesday after 23-year-old Angela Sauretti recognized a man in a black hoodie who entered the 108th Street Grocery in Queens at 1 a.m.

Sauretti was all but certain this was the face she had seen on Instagram—in an NYPD wanted poster for a man suspected in the machete-point rape of a 13-year-old girl as she walked with a boy her age last week.

Sauretti called out to a friend who stood nearby who had also seen the police Instagram posting. She asked if this was indeed the man more than 60 detectives had been seeking since Thursday’s broad daylight attack in a park across from the victim’s junior high school.

“I pointed him out,” Sauretti told The Daily Beast. “I’m like, ‘Yo, that’s him?’ [The friend] said, ‘Yes, that’s him.’ That’s what confirmed it. And everything just spiraled from there.”

Sauretti grabbed the man in the hoodie.

“He tried to run, so I put him in a headlock,” she told The Daily Beast.

He continued to struggle and she took an opportunity to administer her own brand of street justice

“He got something that his mother should have done to him,” she said. “I’ll put it that way.”

She added, “As a woman, I had to really set the tone and remind him, ‘It wasn’t a man that did this to you. It was a woman.’”

Trump absolutely opened the dam here, but the GOP base was primed for this and was just waiting for a guy like Trump to tell them it was OK to be outspoken racists.

Eleven Commandments.

Louisiana's law mandates a specific text. Not from Exodus, or Deuteronomy, but from the Fraternal Order of Eagles. They used a KJV-sounding pastiche adapted from the Bible and paraphrased by a Minnesota juvenile court judge in the 1950s.

It's not the Bible. It's the Eagles.

Cut out the scifi elements and it’s basically an American adaptation of a Kurosawa samurai film. Young farm boy learns he’s really the heir to an ancient clan of powerful samurai, gets taken on a journey by his father’s old friend/master as well as a conman and a brute, winds up involved in a rebellion against a tyrant whose lieutenant and the master are mysteriously familiar in a way that’s never explained, then the farm boy proves to be instrumental in some major battle by relying upon skills that he’d never known he had until now. Big celebration scene and then cut to credits.

fantasy/magic instead of sci-fi, and you’ve just described Harry Potter.

Although Harry never really had many skills. That was Hermione. He preferred to use only one spell, and that was just to knock wands away. His only true skill was being a horcrux.

I mean, that’s not strictly true. He was better at flying on a broom than pretty much anyone else in his class. To be fair, it was one of the more useless skills for a wizard to be extremely proficient at, unless they made a career as a professional Quiddich player (which he didn’t).
