Might actually have to watch this episode. Normally don’t watch because I think they’re too long. However, I’ve maintained for a long time that Reagan is and will always be our worst president because he ushered in everything bad that has happened in the last 40+ years.

He’s merely the final result of the gop’s cultish fascination with fascism that began with pruneface. Yes, he’s magnitudes worse than reagan but he didn’t start it.

Once you train Youtube a bit, it can be useful. I have a Pop Music Mix that it made for me. A bit of ABBA, Metric, Go-Gos, Blondie, Hole, The Clash, Rush… 😈

Pop music is what you make of it. And damn if it isn’t hella good when it is good.

‘Gone Full-Blown Neo-Nazi’: Candace Owens Widely Condemned Online For Holocaust Revisionism Clip

She is permanently damaged goods and is in desperate need of therapy.

It is an established fact that SS officer Josef Mengele performed deadly experiments on Jewish twins during the Holocaust.

Not 80 years later, @RealCandaceO tries to rewrite history by denying these depraved acts ever happened.

Utterly repugnant. pic.twitter.com/1RdLn35wLm

— Combat Antisemitism Movement (@CombatASemitism) July 10, 2024

Again, Candace Owens has been on a multi-month campaign to downplay and whatabout Nazi atrocities based completely on lies, misinformation, and false conspiracies sourced from various Neo-Nazi intellectuals.

Every one of these videos is based on ignorance.

This ’70s Sci-Fi Gem Was Eerily Ahead of Its Time
On December 2, 1970, President Richard Nixonformed the Environmental Protection Agency amidst growing concerns about the effects of pollution on the planet. These anxieties often found their way into films of the time, with science fiction acting as a useful genre through which to explore what the world could look like if industry continued to destroy the natural world. One of the best sci-fi movies of this kind was Silent Running, which imagines a future that feels more likely than it did when it was released in 1972… which is frightening to contemplate.

The directorial debut of special effects wizard Douglas Trumbull (2001: A Space Odyssey, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Blade Runner), it stars Bruce Dern as Freeman Lowell, a botanist aboard a space station orbiting Saturn. Lowell spends his days tending to a greenhouse containing the last remnants of Earth’s vegetation, aided by his robot friends Huey, Dewey, and Louie, in the hopes of reforesting a world that has become ecologically barren. When orders come down to destroy the space station and return home, Lowell goes to extreme lengths to ensure the plants remain unharmed. The prospect of an Earth without any greenery, coupled with Lowell’s militancy to prevent that from happening, make Silent Running all the more prescient today.

That movie was very disturbing to me. I remember watching it in the theater at the university Student Union (dad was a Janitor there - we got in on his ID). I saw lots of cutting edge films. That one and Walkabout stuck with me the longest.

It was Nixon who started it; he is the one who claimed that “When the president does it, that means it is not illegal.” He also was the one who sabotaged the peace deal that Johnson was working on — one that, if successful, would have saved 10’s of thousands of Americans and countless Asian lives.

I’m _still_ not sure whether Trump is the worst. (If Trump wins, if he does half of what he says he’ll do, he’ll rank as the worst).

James Buchanan is often considered the worst because he let the states secede during the tail end of his presidency, but it was Franklin Pierce who really fueled the fire.

At the time, as a young reporter, I got to cover the effects of the rollback of “job-killing regulations.”

It was my first contact with what came to be known as “cancer blooms” in rural areas, as the good folks at Dupont and Archer-Daniels Midland were … experimenting … with new formulations.

Little bald children & crying mothers were the result.

How has it happened that our nation has reached such a low point in our history that somebody espousing such views is provided a medium from which she can vomit out such a statement? It’s good that she is receiving blowback but there are too many who believe she may have a point. In all likelihood, this will fade away but she’ll remain to spew equally disgusting statements.

I think the party encourages wackos like Candace Owens to hog the spotlight so less attention is paid to

the effects of the rollback of “job-killing regulations.”

So now Federalist Society lawyers will be weighing ADM and DuPont and etc. profits against the health of a disposable population.

William Lewis Jul 10, 2024 • 12:17:54pm

Beautiful. Yeah, that’s Peter.

I spent a lot of time growing up at a university while growing up but I saw it from the inside. My mother was a librarian there, my father a janitor; once a bit older my girlfriend’s parents? Her mother was an English professor and her father worked in the Admissions office, reporting directly to the Chancellor. I saw a lot of that school and most of it was actually quite good. Still is, decades later. I wish my son was interested in that kind of education but the Vocational School is a better fit for him and it’s not a bad place either.

I find myself talking to the kids coming in with their parents to stay for the night before a day of orientation for the fall semester and feeling just a bit old of late.

Makes me wish I could finish that degree in Paleo-Anthropology… not that I’d ever publish in the field but just to do it 😎

I have to disagree in part. Nixon, quite clearly, was a disaster as president. Between Vietnam and Watergate, you certainly can’t argue against how bad he was, but, my point was based on the formation of personality cult starting with reagan. I don’t believe anybody could claim Nixon was someone with a cult following. I think even the ‘pugs despised him but, holding their noses, voted for him anyway. You just need to study congress during the impeachment hearings when nearly all of them were supporters of it (god, how things have changed!)

True about Buchanan but recently Trump was rated the worst. Am confident that his post-November 3, 2020 conduct is the primary reason for that revised evaluation. axios.com

At some point, I’ll figure out the logic of anti-Semitic MAGAT’s (who are not all, but a very large fraction of them) reconciling support for anti-Semitism when Trump’s beloved widaughter and her family are Jewish. Or how Jews can support Trump when half his base is openly anti-Semitic.

(I know, the answer is no logic.)

MAGAts continually point to the anti-Israel faction of the Democratic Party. The words posted in FB by such a woman:

VP Kamala Harris just publicly said that the pro Palestinian protests are the RIGHT emotion about the war in Gaza! The Jewish community has been abandoned by today’s Democratic Party!

the biden drumbeat has become so bad that I literally can’t listen to news in the car anymore. And I’m having a hard time not being saturated by it just being online. This kind of feeding frenzy almost defies belief. There is no actual way that Biden could be replaced, even if there were someone who could replace him. This is the clearest example of mob action I have ever witnessed.

I never finished my Ph.D. but I did get published in some reviewed journals including the Yearbook of Physical Anthropology 1976 and an article at about the same time in the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. It took me five years of grad school to realized that such was not for me, career-wise.

Here’s a clinical trial whose results surprised me: SETPOINT MEDICAL ANNOUNCES POSITIVE TOPLINE RESULTS FROM LANDMARK RESET-RA STUDY EVALUATING NEUROIMMUNE MODULATION FOR THE TREATMENT OF RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS. Haven’t been able to find the paper yet - I assume the abstract hasn’t been published and all that is out there in the public domain is this press release.

Behind private because I tend to ramble on and it got a little lengthy.

re: #44 aatharuv

At some point, I’ll figure out the logic of anti-Semitic MAGAT’s (who are not all, but a very large fraction of them) reconciling support for anti-Semitism when Trump’s beloved widaughter and her family are Jewish. Or how Jews can support Trump when half his base is openly anti-Semitic.

(I know, the answer is no logic.)

It all boils down to an extremely cynical narcissism. Most know what they are doing is morally repugnant, hell, even many in their own families have disowned them for their toxicity, but the overwhelming narcissism and cynical belief that

‘The world is not salvageable, so why even try? Might as well grift and cheat your way to the very top as the world burns”

guides their every motivation.

This kind of feeding frenzy almost defies belief. There is no actual way that Biden could be replaced, even if there were someone who could replace him. This is the clearest example of mob action I have ever witnessed.

re: #49 7-y (Expectation of Great Things in Due Course)

I never finished my Ph.D. but I did get published in some reviewed journals including the Yearbook of Physical Anthropology 1976 and an article at about the same time in the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. It took me five years of grad school to realized that such was not for me, career-wise.

It was realizing that I really didn’t want to deal with a pure academic life that kept me from chasing the original Philosophy/English Lit double major I wanted to do for the love of the topics. But the only way to make a living is as a journal paper producing prof. NOPE NOPE MOTHER OF CHRIST NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!! Er. Excuse me. Let me just say, I don’t think that’s for me.

If I had a topic I was working with, especially with others, I’d actually work my ass off on a paper in Paleo-Anthro; that may be the 30 years since as well as the difference in the topic but life has it’s way of teasing us that way 😈

Makes me wish I could finish that degree in Paleo-Anthropology… not that I’d ever publish in the field but just to do it 😎

I don’t know if you’ll have any transferable credits, but it’s never too late. Mr. w started when he was 60. He ‘didn’t care’ to finish, but he was close, and had a hell of a lot of fun. Served in student government. Attorney General.

The media also has so much plausible deniability no matter the outcome.

Biden stays and Trump wins? Biden should have stepped aside like we said.

Biden steps aside, endorses Kamala, and Trump wins? They shouldn’t have nominated Kamala (after 3 steady months of stories about the Dem’s “Kamala Problem”).

Biden steps aside, Dems nominate Newsome, Whitmer, Pritzker, etc., and Trump wins? Biden should have stepped aside earlier.

They “win” no matter what.

I’ve always taken it to mean someone who doesn’t pay attention to politics for various reasons (ranging from insulated/privileged to the exact opposite, too busy with basic survival issues like working 3 jobs to pay the rent).

So, ‘low political info’. Voters tune in at various times. And tune out. Those who turned off the debate after 15 minutes worry me. I wonder whether any of them picked this debate as their moment to tune in. Those who were already tuned in and did that are scarier. Not strategic thinkers. They should have wanted to see what Trump did, as well as Biden.

At the time, as a young reporter, I got to cover the effects of the rollback of “job-killing regulations.”

It was my first contact with what came to be known as “cancer blooms” in rural areas, as the good folks at Dupont and Archer-Daniels Midland were … experimenting … with new formulations.

Little bald children & crying mothers were the result.

re: #39 sizzzzlerz

I have to disagree in part. Nixon, quite clearly, was a disaster as president. Between Vietnam and Watergate, you certainly can’t argue against how bad he was, but, my point was based on the formation of personality cult starting with reagan. I don’t believe anybody could claim Nixon was someone with a cult following. I think even the ‘pugs despised him but, holding their noses, voted for him anyway. You just need to study congress during the impeachment hearings when nearly all of them were supporters of it (god, how things have changed!)

“I’m not surprised, that goddamn Nixon has been lying all his life.”
