Always love when a guest gets in trouble for shit they’re not supposed to be doing and thinks the “answer” is to come down to make their own complaints to management. Especially if they broke a rule that normally would result in immediate ejection such as being caught smoking in their room.

Haven’t we already seen this movie before, where the Beltway press desperate for a “horse race” entertained the idea that the incumbent Dem president was vulnerable to a primary challenge because the party “secretly” was despairing over low polling numbers and voters were hungry for a “progressive”/”centrist” candidate if only one would come forward to save us all?

From Palestine to Slavery, Ron DeSantis’ Muzzling of Universities is dooming Florida Higher Education

Killing hier education will kill the ability of these states to support IT industries. Becasue of these red states, Atlanta and Georgia are becoming the high tech center for the South. To be a high piwered hub, there has to be strong universities to feed in the employees.

There would be no Silicon Valley without Stanford, or Seattle without UW etc. Austin is a hub because of UT Austin, which is beginning to die. NC is killing its universities now, with high caliber professors going to other states.

And Florida is ending its time as the best igher education system in the country. Red state politics and policies will kill their economies.

That’s why the same politicians who are trying to snuff out all but the Ivy League colleges where they and their ilk can send their younglings without too much worry about having to rub shoulders with the unwashed masses will often going to the stump to assure those unwashed masses that they don’t need no fancy book learning because there will plenty of jobs in “real work” like fossil fuel extraction, farming, or policing. That only libruls wanting to “brainwash” their kids care if colleges close due to lack of staff and funding.

Yes — but in 2016/2017 it was not yet treated as the canard it is today. And Bernie was never focused on the key issue of minority rights — his appeal was primarily to the WWC males; he thought all issues could be resolved through economics without understanding the social/cultural problems of the time. Dean Phillips has certainly learned from that mistake.

Bernie’s entire approach to racial issues was to dismiss it as “identity politics,” promoting the whole “all boats rise” bit that if you just pass economic policies that get more money into the hands of working class Americans then everybody’s lives improve and racial differences disappear. Of course, if you pointed out that every time this BS line has been played in the past, those policies usually came with caveats or deliberate carve-outs that left minority Americans in the dust, you got attacked for your lack of faith in Bernie and told that “identity politics” was simply meant to divide Americans while he was trying to “unite” them.

Long Slow Goodbye

Dr Lizardo  Oct 28, 2023 • 12:34:46am
More than one in 200 Spaniards may have been sexually abused by Catholic Church priests, a survey released on Friday suggested, pointing to a far greater number of victims nationwide than previous similar investigations.

The survey by Spain’s human rights ombudsman, part of a report presented to parliament on Friday, questioned just over 8,000 people. The document criticised the Church for not cooperating more fully with the investigation and seeking to “minimise the phenomenon”.

Ombudsman Angel Gabilondo said 0.6% of the survey sample said they had been abused by a priest, a figure that rose to around 1.1% when including abuse by lay people such as teachers at Church institutions.

“By being able to quote 0.6% you can see the magnitude of what it can mean in terms of overall abuse,” he told a press conference after delivering the report. Spain’s population is around 48 million.

A spokesperson for the Church in Spain declined to comment on the report.

reuters.com

Well, clearly, the Church took swift action and removed these vile priests. Oh, wait? What’s that? Nothing? Indeed, you’re saying that the Church actively fought it and attacked the victims and then quietly shuffled the priests along to their next victims?

I’m shocked, shocked, I tell you to find out that gambling kiddie fiddling is going on here.

Meanwhile, in Poland…

The pope has accepted the resignation of a Polish bishop whose diocese has been rocked by reports of a gay orgy involving a male sex worker in a priest’s apartment, as well as previous violent incidents involving his clergy.

The Vatican did not give a reason why Grzegorz Kaszak was resigning as head of the diocese of Sosnowiec, in south-western Poland. At 59, he is several years shy of the normal retirement age of 75.

But his diocese has been in the spotlight after one of his priests was placed under criminal investigation for having allegedly organised an orgy at his apartment in Dąbrowa Górnicza involving a male sex worker. Polish media reported that one of the participants of the sex party collapsed after overdosing on erectile dysfunction pills.

A prosecutor said the priest was suspected of “failing to provide assistance to a person whose life is at risk” for having allegedly tried to bar paramedics from entering the apartment.

Ellis described herself as the campaign’s “Senior Legal Advisor,” although in practice she was mostly a MAGA mean girl, doing Fox hits and tossing out online vitriol, such as accusing conservative pollster Frank Luntz of having a micro-penis, interspersed with sanctimonious bible quotes.

While acknowledging that Ellis had been terminated “because she failed to meet the employer’s expectations 100 percent of the time,” the officer found that Ellis had only “committed an irreparable egregious act” in a small portion of her cases and was “performing the duties to the best of her ability” given the “deficiencies in her education and experience.”

Someone (Darthstar?) posted this here previously. Seems fitting.

It’s employee evaluation time again and ‘Exceeds Expectations’ doesn’t sound as flattering as it used to.

Though in this case, that there’re are zero expectations is even worse.

Ellis really did fail up:

The Colorado Sun reported that she was axed for “unsatisfactory performance” and then successfully won an unemployment claim because the hearing examiner determined that she was too incompetent to be fired for cause.

While acknowledging that Ellis had been terminated “because she failed to meet the employer’s expectations 100 percent of the time,” the officer found that Ellis had only “committed an irreparable egregious act” in a small portion of her cases and was “performing the duties to the best of her ability” given the “deficiencies in her education and experience.”

The fact that the media has been falsely telling everyone for two years now that disaster is just around the corner might have something to do with it.

They also may want to publically note that a lot of polling is just performative proxy for political preference (PPPP!): no, the economy didn’t suddenly go down the shitter on 21 January 2021 at 1200 EST, idiots.

(Also, the headline of the NYT for 21 January 2021 was, honestly, “Biden Inaugurated as the 46th President Amid a Cascade of Crises”. On an article by Peter Fucking Baker, of course.)

One more quote - the judge should have refused to let her travel…she needed to feel some consequence of her actions:

And in Georgia, she couldn’t even maintain her contrition through a 25-minute hearing.

“Your honor, it is our understanding that there won’t be any travel restrictions,” her lawyer wheedled after Ellis shut off the waterworks. Judge McAfee referred Ellis to the Out of State Probation Office for processing.

“That may mean if she has a flight today, I don’t know if that’s going to be possible,” the court hedged.

“We do have flights booked this afternoon,” her lawyer persisted, assuring the court that Ellis was “not a flight risk.”

“Until Florida says they can accept her case, she has to stay in Georgia,” a representative from the probation office replied off camera, noting that office would do its best to get her out as soon as her paperwork was completed. But that wasn’t good enough for Ellis, who asked to be excused from all that unpleasantness in time to make a 2pm flight.

In short, the hearing at which she took responsibility for her actions commenced at 9am. And by 9:30, she’d already shed even the appearance of penitence and was demanding to be excused from her legal obligations.

Again we’re in the midst of 2012, where UE was dropping, GDP was recovering, and the stock markets had recovered most of their losses…but every news story was about people were feeling that the recovery wasn’t happening because their friend’s cousin’s nephew’s roommate was struggling to find a job which meant the job market was still tight and Obama had failed to “fix” that.

Meh, par.

Currently engaged in the Thermostat Wars at Chateau de TarHellion. Temps have been climbing into the 80s - hence the need to keep the air running. But lows have been getting down into the 40s. This morning it was - gasp - 70 degrees in the house. MrsTarH thought she was living in an igloo and insisted the heat be turned on. Of course, the thermostat will need to be set for air by mid-morning. Sigh…

Past peak leaf peeper season, but stop by I will buy you a coffee.

Lake George Is The Cleanest Lake In The U.S.
In addition to bordering the mesmerizing Vermont, New York State, and Canada, Lake George plays a crucial role in the St. Lawrence Watershed. Lake George, with its 300 islands in its crown, is properly titled the Queen.

For many tourists in Upstate New York, Lake George is a beloved getaway and a hidden treasure in the backyard of the Capital Region. A few trips to the cleanest U.S. lake are always the highlight of the summer, whether it is for the lake itself or everything surrounding it.

This hidden treasure of a community is now being recognized across the country as the cleanest lake in the country, in addition to being a wonderful destination. According to a ranking by A-Z Animals, Lake George is the cleanest lake in the United States.

The 32-mile-long (51.49 km) Lake George, also called the Queen of American Lakes, is regarded as one of the most picturesque and spotless lakes in the nation. Over 50,000 summer visitors are drawn to the deep blue waters of Lake George, which is situated in the southernmost region of the Adirondack State Park.

The price of firewood is stupid these days. Locally, a standard cord of dry oak is running between $400-$600.

First, he has that slimy hyper religious sheen that a lot of the hucksters who are religious in the sense that they cherrypick the bible to justify who they are currently hating on. The whole Tony Perkins patina if you will. And when you see these guys, there’s a scandal in there somewhere whether it is a dead girl or a live boy.

Second, I think the more interviews he does, the better he is for Democrats.

Third, I’m so old I remember when Markos was getting yelled at for calling these guys the American taliban or when everyone got chided for calling them Christianists and that not all Republicans, and here we are in the year of our lord 2023 and they’ve up and had every single elected Republican in the House voted for a live one right there in front of us all.

Energy is Civilisation. It’s clean water and transport and fertiliser and food processing and distribution and heat in the winter and A/C in the summer, washing machines and Netflix data centres and escalators and all the Good Stuff. Poor people don’t have access to energy the way rich people do and if there’s coal or oil or gas under their feet or trees and shrubs around them they will collect and burn those resources to harvest that energy.

On the contrary, I predict that tools like Charlie, MTG and Tucker will drop their bloodthirsty support for Netanyahu, pivot 180 degrees, and start attacking Israel. Russia is getting pretty aggressive about shielding its Iranian ally from the consequences of Iranian support for Hamas. I am not suggesting active collusion ( though it is not impossible) but rather a recognition of common interest. Where the Kremin leads, these saboteurs and traitors follow. It’s all projection with these MAGAts.

‘We’re seeing the fear’: Maine killings prompt spike in gun purchases

Several of the area’s gun dealers were open for business Thursday, the day after the shootings, while the suspected gunman was still at large. While nearly all other businesses abided by the shelter-in-place order advising residents to stay off the streets, some gun stores answered spiking interest in gun ownership by opening their doors. They’ve since reported abnormally high sales of all types of firearms…

At G3 Firearms in Turner…sales had quadrupled since the killings, according to store owner Gage Jordan…Every third purchase, he said, was an AR-15, the gun that has become well-known for its popularity among mass shooters, ease of use and devastating capabilities. G3 Firearms sold out its stock on Friday.

The Southern Baptist Convention is still fighting against victims of sexual abuse

Onward Xtian Soldiers Staying True To Form

The Southern Baptist Convention has, yet again, found a way to fight against victims of childhood sexual abuse. They’re doing it under the radar, though, which is why survivors and allies are attempting to draw attention to the issue in the hopes that other Southern Baptists (especially their leaders) speak out against the move.

The situation involves a recent law passed in Kentucky to give victims of sexual abuse more time to bring their cases forward while also expanding the types of cases that can be brought.

You can count on the Southern Fried Baptists to continue doin de Lawd’s work! 🤬

Speaker Johnson served notice hardliners are about to begin ‘nasty-infighting’ for control

Rep. Micheal Johnson’s honeymoon as the newly elected House speaker is already coming to an abrupt end as far-right members of his Republican Party caucus are letting him know that they are not ready to relinquish the power they have over the majority as they get back to work.

According to a report from Politico, the Louisana Republican may find it was easier to be elected speaker than it is to try to exert influence over his colleagues who are still feeling the bruises over the search to replace ousted Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).

At issue is the key issue that led to McCarthy’s handing over the gavel: budget negotiations.

According to the Politico report, the “nasty-infighting” among assorted House GOP factions is once again about to commence.

Politico is reporting, “Johnson wants to pass a short-term spending patch until January or April to buy more time for Republicans to pass each of their full-year funding bills, but he’s already getting hard resistance from a handful of right flank members.”

Far-right Rep. Andy Biggs has already served notice that Johnson is about to face resistance from at least five GOP lawmakers who could doom any budget deal unless it meets with their approval.

According to Biggs, “I don’t even want to think about something lasting until January or April. That would be folly,” before adding, “I don’t believe I’m the only one”

GO HARRY DUNN!

Capitol cop who fended off Jan. 6 rioters eyes congressional seat

The eyes come in emoji form in a Thursday night tweet from Harry Dunn, who testified to the Jan. 6 select committee about the harrowing encounter he blames on former president Donald Trump.

Dunn shared a Politico article announcing Rep. John Sarbanes (D-MD) would not run for a 10th term, with the message “I see there is going to be an open Congressional seat in Maryland.”

Axios received confirmation from Dunn that the eyes emoji implicate a considered run.

Further proof comes in the editorial Dunn published with Time, detailing his beliefs on the state of government in a post-insurrection America.

“The America we live in today is not the America we inherited from our founders. It’s the one we built by voting, by protesting, by agitating, by demanding, by being arrested, by getting into “some good trouble, necessary trouble,” as civil rights icon, former member of Congress, and my hero, John Lewis, would say,” Dunn writes.

“We got these rights by fighting, not on some faraway battlefield but right here at home.”

Dunn made national headlines when he detailed his encounters with Jan. 6 rioters who called him the n-word and affirmed he required counseling for the trauma he suffered.

In the editorial, Dunn also clarifies another piece of testimony he gave.

“There was an attack carried out on January 6th, and a hitman sent them,” Dunn testified in 2021. This week, he clarified, “The hitman was Donald Trump, and he needs to answer for his crime.”

And what is this Gawd-Fearin’ fool’s next move?

“Now that I am exiting the race, I am proud to announce my endorsement of Donald Trump for President of the United States,” he said. “His leadership has been instrumental in advancing conservative, America-first principles and policies that have benefited our great nation. We must unite behind Donald Trump to beat Joe Biden and fight back against Biden’s unprecedented election interference and the left’s destruction of America.”

Lavrov made the comments, some of Moscow’s most critical of Israel yet, in an interview with the Belarusian state news agency Belta, which released them on Saturday.

“While we condemn terrorism, we categorically disagree that you can respond to terrorism by violating the norms of international humanitarian law, including indiscriminately using force against targets where civilians are known to be present, including hostages that have been taken,” said Lavrov.

Jeep maker Stellantis has reached a tentative contract agreement with the United Auto Workers union that follows a template set earlier this week by Ford, two people with knowledge of the negotiations said Saturday.

The deal, which still has to be ratified by members, leaves only General Motors without a contract with the union. The agreement could end a six-week strike by more than 14,000 workers at Stellantis assembly plants in Michigan and Ohio, and at parts warehouses across the nation.

Like workers at Ford, the strikers at Stellantis are expected to take down their picket lines and start returning to work in the coming days, before 43,000 union members vote.

Every single country doing bombing routinely condemns bombing by every single other country that does bombing. The international rule-based order never escaped the veal crate it was placed in, and somewhere around 2003 they just stopped feeding it. Now we’re living in a world system where everyone points to the malformed skeleton and says “No, You!” and that’s where we’re going to stay until the sun dies, because everyone with power has their acceptable mulched-children level, but most have learned that you can do a minimal performance of contrition, vaguely gesture towards a utilitarian end (even if the core premise is fundamentally broken and never created good outcomes, like “The War on Terror”) and be given grace.

“Joe Biden is destroying our economy.  .  . “

“Elect Donald Trump to restore.  .  .”

But Recently there’s been a meme shift:

“Joe Biden is an embarrassment to our country. . .”

If he is reelected, Kamala Harris will be president.”

“Donald Trump is running for president - not sure he can get it done. “

At a press conference in Tel Aviv, Netanyahu says Israel’s war aims are clear — “destruction of Hamas’s military and governing capabilities; and returning the hostages home.”

Netanyahu says the decision to begin the ground incursion was made unanimously, both by the war cabinet and the security cabinet.

“Our commanders and soldiers fighting in enemy territory know that the nation and the national leadership stand behind them,” he adds.

They’ve admitted they fucked up badly, so yes. Marvel was extremely impressive for years, but they seem to be losing their footing recently.

Content as media paradigm and the attempt to monopolize the attention economy has resulted in this kind of gray-goo approach to culture product. Shared universes in which you have to chain your watching habits to grok everything going on was initially a great idea, but the result at this point is films that feel more like long TV episodes, and TV series that feel like poorly-edited movies. Add to this that the house style is really beginning to constrain what’s possible because the central plotline always has to both consume screen time and means that extremely bold visions—whether that’s just visual, or in the messaging, or in the performance choices—have to be diluted.

Yikes! 50 grand? This probably includes training well beyond first solo. For unfair comparison, my flight training in 1965 cost $685 up to my licensing check ride. Most of that was rental ($15/hour iirc) on a Cessna 140. My instruction, from a World War II Spitfire ace no less, was free thanks to my membership in the Civil Air Patrol cadet program.
Aircraft Damaged After Student Denied Solo

A 23-year-old flight student at Treasure Coast Flight Training in Stuart, Florida, is facing numerous charges after at least 10 aircraft were vandalized earlier this week. Officials allege he damaged the planes after being denied a solo flight.

In a Facebook post, the Martin County Sheriff’s department said the student, Sumebh Singh, was arrested at Witham Field Airport Monday afternoon on charges of felony criminal mischief after damaging throttles on 10 of the school’s aircraft.

According to Chief Deputy John Budensiek, Singh had allegedly paid $50,000 to Treasure Coast Flight Training and became agitated after instructors told him he wasn’t ready to solo. According to the Deputy, Singh’s goal was to cause $50,000 in damages for what he had paid to the school.

You can’t even wear your gimp suit in public anymore without people freaking out. What is this world coming to?

A self-employed gardener has been found guilty of intentionally causing harassment, alarm or distress to two female motorists while dressed in an all-black gimp suit.

Joshua Hunt, 32, was found guilty by a district judge of two offences under the Public Order Act following a trial at Bristol Magistrates’ Court.

He was fined £100 and ordered to pay £200 compensation to each of his three victims and £620 prosecution costs.

The court heard female motorists were left terrified - with one fearing they might be abducted - after seeing Hunt in his black skin-tight outfit.

Well, he sure proved he wasn’t ready to solo. Can you imagine someone with that kind of an anger problem behind the stick of a light plane? I sure can’t.

That’s exactly what Libby does :) She’s a Coon Hound/English Pointer. Once she finds something everyone must acknowledge her feat, or she’ll keep them treed until she gets her accolades
