re: #330 7-y (Expectation of Great Things in Due Course)
The White House adrenochrome supply is perhaps running short as they try to keep Biden mobile and lucid with overdoses. Thus the other staff are having to cut back and they are getting sick?
I was thinking maybe he’s radiantly sucking the life-force out of those around him to stay active.

Latest GFS run is warning us that SoCal is going to get a lot of rain starting Wednesday, with multiple storms over 9 days.
Y’all up in LA-land could be looking at 10” by the 10th of Feb:

Are these storms likely to help with the state water-supply? I recall reading a little while back (New Years’?) that CA might be looking at lower-than-desired water levels later on this year based on snowpack percentages as of whenever. I know it’s more important to get the precip up in the Sierras where the catchment areas are, but all that rain for SoCal…

There’s supposed to be good snow accumulation in the Sierras with this storm. It’s not a particularly warm system.
I suspect that both Judge Engoron and the DC Court of Appeals are waiting until the very last minute, not out of any desire to delay things, but to make absolutely positively sure that the final opinion is as bulletproof as possible. You just know that both rulings are not going to go Trump’s way, and the resulting shit-fit is going to be like nothing we have ever seen out of this man before. Not giving him any legal legs to stand on is going to be paramount, if this is going to survive before the Calvinball Court.

re: #40 Charles Johnson
That comment in and of itself shows his mental acuity is … lacking.
If Biden somehow managed to coopt Swift, the NFL, and various other associated entities, he should be President. It’s clear he has a better grasp of government and executive power and crushing his enemies with all the means at his disposal. Far from being addled, he’s cold and calculating and taking no chances with a scorched earth tactics to destroy Trump and the GOP.
The reality is something more mundane - Swift doesn’t want Trump or the fascists, and got into a relationship with a player who happened to be on one of this decade’s best football teams. It just happens to align with Biden on the former.

Medical Design: Synchron’s plan to beat Neuralink in the neuroprosthetic BCI race
Synchron and Neuralink both announced big news this month as they move their dueling neuroimplant technologies forward.
The device developers each have FDA investigational device exemption (IDE) for their experimental BCIs. They’ve also got billionaires backing their R&D and regulatory efforts, with Neuralink owned by Elon Musk and Synchron funded by Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates.
Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates. I’m surprised we haven’t reached a conspiracy theory singularity.

From the link;
While at least one organizer initially said they planned to hunt down migrants along the border in collaboration with sympathetic members of law enforcement, the group appeared to walk back that assertion on Monday, issuing a statement that the convoy would not be heading to the border at all but instead going to Quemado, a tiny town in Catron County, Texas.
There is also a tiny town of Quemado in Catron County, New Mexico. This could be helpful information to be shared by that group ASAP.
re: #91 wrenchwench
I have a rare plant, passiflora azironica, Arizona passionfruit. When I grow it on my porch, it goes nuts, goes along the trellis under the roof for about 10 feet, and gets very thick. I get tons of fruit, its a small green passion fruit, tastes like guava. Here is the problem, they die after 2 years, so I saved seeds. I planted a ton last year, but only one germinated, I put it outside about 2 weeks before we hit 110 degrees for 30 straight days, it had no chance. Also, the caterpillars can destroy a young plant quickly, when its big, no problem. I have a few that grew as volunteers in other places, so I clipped some leaves and have it in a jar on the sill. Almost to the point where I’ll put it in some rockwool and dirt and get it rooting before transplanting again…

Probably worse. Disney sticks to the threat of its legal firepower, and uses its army of lawyers to rewrite the law in its favor. Swifties ascribe to no such niceties.
Swifties have two things: their votes, and the votes of those they know. I suspect quite a few of them will be able to talk to their parents in ways no one else would be able to.
re: #40 Charles Johnson
Trump has also privately claimed that […] he has more committed fans than she does
Probably true. More of Trump’s fans will have been committed than Swift’s.
What?
re: #131 sagehen
But 267,000,000 Swifts posting mean tweets? That I can see.
And imagine if they start doing what the K-pop kids were doing during Trump’s time in office.

re: #67 Belafon
They were talking about Musk’s thing on GMA this morning, but also pointed out other companies that already had some real success, including an implant to help one guy walk, and another that allowed a woman to control an avatar on a screen to talk to her husband for the first time in years.
These, BTW, are only solvable with machine learning.
Elon Musk alleges Neuralink completed its first human trial implant
Apparently at this point it’s only “Musk alleges” as Neurolink hasn’t confirmed. I imagine the Neurolink PR folks had their well-thought-out announcement plans and confetti bombs undermined. Besides Neuralink there are a plethora of other start-ups in BCI (brain computer interface) including Guger Technologies, Synchron, Braingate, many more (some of which might be even more than jumping on the Silicon Valley funding bandwagon)
re: #125 jaunte
Even the Texas GOP knows actual secession is a loser issue for them. Huffing and puffing about it plays well.
“Rasmussen Reports found that about 1 in 3 of those it polled believed that Texas has the right to secede from the United States, although only 18% would support secession and 75% would oppose secession.”
of those ‘1 in 3’, none could explain exactly how it could be accomplished given that the constitution is silent on the issue.
——
they dont want to secede
- they want to do be left alone to do whatever they want, without interference
- they dont want any oversight , but they still want the money they get from washington
- they dont want to pay any taxes
- they dont want federalism at all
and they still want all the benefits of the Union. They dont want to disturb any of the structure that holds us together.
that’s why talk about borders, visas, banking, coast guard, losing the military bases, losing federal funding, federal highways, ad infinito are met with “huh? why would we have to do any of that?”
re: #129 Yeah Sure WhatEVs
Wait. I thought they loved border control and ICE.
That was under Bush, the Texan.

Corporations that make billions every year but continually push the envelope (even alienating formerly loyal users) in order to chase EVEN MOAR GROWTH are really seeming unhinged these days. US values are so screwed up.
re: #98 Egregious Philbin
I have a rare plant, passiflora azironica, Arizona passionfruit. When I grow it on my porch, it goes nuts, goes along the trellis under the roof for about 10 feet, and gets very thick. I get tons of fruit, its a small green passion fruit, tastes like guava. Here is the problem, they die after 2 years, so I saved seeds. I planted a ton last year, but only one germinated, I put it outside about 2 weeks before we hit 110 degrees for 30 straight days, it had no chance. Also, the caterpillars can destroy a young plant quickly, when its big, no problem. I have a few that grew as volunteers in other places, so I clipped some leaves and have it in a jar on the sill. Almost to the point where I’ll put it in some rockwool and dirt and get it rooting before transplanting again…
passiflora reproduces well if you just plant the entire fruit instead of only the seeds.
Volunteers result from fallen fruit left to its own devices and Mother Nature’s whims.

re: #130 KingKenrod
YouTube continues to grow in the “streaming” sector, a business category that will soon be demanding even more consolidation of the major and minor players.
Possible things to happen this year:
1) WBD bought by Comcast, or split between Comcast and Amazon Prime;
2) AppleTV+ buys Paramount+ .
YouTube is likely to be dominant in the video serving sector until Alphabet is broken up by some future government.

Whenever the dam breaks, and markets go into biggest declines since the Great Depression, whoever is in office will be blamed.
And that could bring about the fascist rise in America that Trump cannot accomplish on his own.
re: #146 Backwoods Sleuth
This one is a little weird. Anyway, I have a few stalks with roots, I’ll get them going. I can’t transplant the volunteer in my front yard, its wrapped around a volunteer of some desert tree. One volunteer came from the pool’s backwash hose, the other from under the rain spout, the big plant I had dropped fruit in the gutter it was wrapped around.
re: #106 silverdolphin
Texas’ standoff with the feds in Eagle Pass is igniting calls for secession and fears of violence
It will only last until the election. Its whole purpose is cynically political.
It will only last as long until businesses are fed up with shipment disruptions.
re: #153 Backwoods Sleuth
I’ve said this before, those folks going down to the Valley will hang out and yell at the river for a day or 2. Then they will get bored and head to the beach at South Padre where they will spend their money and bolster the economy.
re: #128 Vicious Babushka
I can’t see Switfties committing violence.
I don’t know… I can see the “Anyone who mistreats Tay Tay makes me Cray Cray” crowd loading up their Hello Kitty AK’s and girding for battle and waxing the Proud Boys pretty easily.

Expecting exponential growth on a planet with finite resources is the root cause of that insanity.
re: #156 Patricia Kayden
This also works very well for purported GOP concerns about government spending. With an extra side of budget-busting tax cuts only for the rich.

Very small plane. I don’t know if it could kill more than one person without landing on someone.
Van’s RV-6
This is a two seater kit plane. Interestingly enough, it is also built in Iran on a regular production line as the Aviation Industries of Iran AVA-202.

The anti-trans bill was argued in front of the Texas Supreme Court and one of the justices was basically arguing that because he’s not going to rule against it because it’s the people’s will since they voted for the legislatures who voted for it.

December 28, 2023:
Texas GOP rejects ballot question asking if state should secede
keranews.org
lololol
But state party leaders say the group submitted the signatures after the Dec. 10 deadline, and that most of the signatures were invalid.
Texas GOP chairman Matt Rinaldi wrote in an open letter that only about 8,300 of the purported 139,000 signatures the Texas Nationalist Movement collected were in the petition signer’s own handwriting, and the rest electronically submitted.
“For these reasons, the voter petitions delivered by the Texas Nationalist Movement on December 11 are rejected as untimely and, even if they had been timely submitted, do not contain the required 97,709 valid signatures to place a matter on the 2024 Republican Primary ballot,” Rinaldi wrote.
