I have loved Adrian Belew for decades. Whether it was his work with David Byrne or Lori Anderson, he has been one of the great guitarists of his time. Full stop.

Looks like itās all going south again. Light flurries up here, less than an inch by morning, another 1/2 inch during the day tomorrow. Mild temps (31 high ~ 16 low next few days). Really for January into February, itās as good as it gets.

My Northbrook development uses a snowplow service that eventually shows up at some random time to plow our streets, clear the driveways, and even shovel a path to our doors. My guess is that I may be trapped in the house until tomorrow afternoon. But as long as the power holds up, Iām good.

Well, preparatory to the forecast storm tonight, I spent part of the afternoon dragging out, cleaning and test firing up the snowblower. Also dragging out the snow shovels, sand and salt.
Hopefully my preparedness wards away the snow again this year. The leaf blower has been sufficient to clear the driveway and walks for the past few years.

For last nightās movie, after watching the newest WandaVision episode, I finally got my wife and parents to see Harold & Maude. Everyone liked it, even my wife, who let out a grunt when I told her what I had grabbed.
It came out in 71, and Cat Stevens did all of the music. My dad looked up Bud Cort, the actor who played Harold, and in 1979 he was in a wreck that cut up he face really badly, nearly cutting off his lower lip.

The Conspiracy Mobile came to the Dodger Stadium vaccination site this afternoon.
There was a small but dedicated group of anti-vaxxers there before I got there who actually blocked access to the site for a while, and the LAPD had to close it for a short time, prolonging the wait for people who had already been there a long time. But no one tried to run them down, did they?

Well, we binge-watched the first four episodes of WandaVision.
Thatās certainly an unusual combination: A romantic sitcom/superhero/science fiction/drama.
I might have to go back and watch the four episodes again, as I had a little trouble keeping up, though the anomalies in the first three episodes are explained in the fourth.
Neither of us are really superhero movie watchers, so I imagine weāre missing some of the backstory as well.

Iām familiar with the Scarlet Witch character from the comic books back when I was a child.
The show is kind of a mashup (so far) of various RomComs such as āFather Knows Bestā and āBewitched,ā combined with the superhero motif and science fiction, plus the town with no contact with the outside a la the ABC series āOnce Upon a Time.ā
Iāll probably go back and watch the movies, though action-adventure superhero movies arenāt really my thing (but I can always be surprised).
On the other hand, Disney+ has a huge catalogue of other things as well, such as National Geographic and the aforementioned āHamiltonā (which I could never afford to see as a play, not to mention the players arenāt coming anywhere near this place).

Orly Taitz might be available now that her latest case was thrown out of court.
The drought in the Panhandle has expanded, now including all of my county.
droughtmonitor.unl.edu (University of Nebraska Lincoln nationwide drought map)
Eight dams in Wyoming feed the North Platte River; there are two major impoundments under 60% capacity, while the other six range from 82% to 33%.
UNL says now is not the time to worry about Wyomingās impoundments yet, because major snow melt season in Wyoming doesnāt start until April. UNL also says a couple good snowstorms in the Panhandle should alleviate the drought here.
Monday and Tuesday will be unseasonably warm weather here (fifties), then Wednesday through Friday we should have snow, with temps on Wednesday around fifty (with snow), then dropping into twenties for highs Thursday and Friday.
A low pressure cell in the Gulf of Alaska is expected to move down the Pacific coast then swing into the Four Corners region. It is too early to say yet where it will set up in that area, which will determine how much snow we get.
The weather radio popped off earlier: An ice dam has formed across the North Platte River just east of Lewellen in Garden County. The river is backing up. There might be minor flooding moving up my way, but the village is a mile from the river on the side slopes of the Nebraska Sandhills. The only village infrastructure that could be impacted would be the Co-op and the sewage lagoons (the lagoons have never been flooded since we moved here, but Iām told that has happened in the past).
Representative Dusty Johnson (R-SD At large) has introduced what he calls a ācompromise billā regarding the District of Columbia.
His bill would cede the District (minus federal land) back to the State of Maryland. (Conveniently, that means two new senators wouldnāt be added.)
There is some question over the constitutionality of ceding it to Maryland, because the Constitution prohibits altering states without permission of the legislatures of the states in question. (DC is not a state, so they donāt get a say.) In the past, Maryland has said they do not want the District because of the expensive policing requirements due to the presence of foreign embassies, large assemblies and protests, and other costs unique to the capital.
āIt removes the need for D.C. statehood, while also providing representation to individuals living in the district by merging the suburbs with Maryland,ā Johnson said. āThis proposal isnāt out of the question. Congress has done it before in 1847 when large parts of D.C. were returned to Virginia. My proposal accomplishes the goal of representation without creating a 51st state ā thatās compromise.ā
He argues that as the District is controlled by Congress, it has the responsibility for it and as such any state has a Constitutional duty to manage it. What he doesnāt say in his interview with the Rapid City, SD Journal is no state has any Constitutional duty over the boundaries of the State of Maryland.
Rep. Johnson introduces bill to return portions of D.C. to Maryland
Since the Democrats have control of the House and Senate, they should tell the Republicans to piss up a rope. Only a simple majority of the Senate is required to admit a new state to the Union.
His compromise says nothing about other territories such as Puerto Rico.
Article IV, Section 3, Clause 1:
New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; but no new State shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States, or Parts of States, without the Consent of the Legislatures of the States concerned as well as of the Congress.

re: #42 Anymouse š¹š”š·
The most recent Supreme Court case regarding alteration of state boundaries (disregarding the boundary between Michigan and Ohio in Lake Erie, which was undefined) is that of Iowa and Nebraska.
After a flood on the Missouri River, a new channel was created, cutting off the city of Carter Lake, Iowa from the rest of the state in 1877. At the time, Carter Lake was part of Council Bluffs. After the river changed course, the area was cut off from city services and successfully seceded from Council Bluffs to become Carter Lake.
Nebraska claimed the city in the 1940s (Omaha borders it on the west, east, and north; the river borders it on the south), after it introduced casino gambling and other delights frowned upon in conservative Nebraska at the time. Litigation went on in the Supreme Court until 1972, when the city was definitively ruled part of Iowa.

Sick f*ck state legislators in five states want to pass a law making it legal to run down protesters blocking streets
Lawmakers in North Dakota, North Carolina, Florida, Tennessee and Texas proposed bills that would make it legal for drivers to hit protesters if the driver did not do so willfully, according to Mick Bullock, a spokesman for the National Conference of State Legislatures.
A similar bill also was introduced in Rhode Island, according to the state General Assemblyās website.

The weather radio popped off earlier: An ice dam has formed across the North Platte River just east of Lewellen in Garden County. The river is backing up.
Used to happen along the Rhine all the time, especially at the Loreley, where the river is only about 120 yards wide, first flooding villages upstream with the backed-up water and then downstream when the ice dam burst.
But the Rhine has not frozen like that since the early 60ās.

A couple of friends of mine collect (or used to collect) Marvel and/or DC comic books. At this point one has given up on the current DC universe* and just reads old ones that are now available via electronic collections. He has pretty much also sold off most of his hardcopy collection as well.
I commented to him once that the stories donāt really look to be easily enterable since it you look up a character in Wikipedia you see that the stories just lose continuity, realign themselves, and then at least with major characters feel they have ābreak new groundā and then soon after retcon themselves back into the previous box. Like, how many times do you have to kill Superman?

In the sixties, it was the weird kids who read comics, most children were busy watching TV, playing with other children, and sports. It was us weirdos who read comics, and especially if you read them after age 12.
I always preferred Marvel to DC simply because the characters were more humanly complex, and the real world problems everyone faced came into many story lines.

The lyrics are brief and are dominated by the repetition of the title words and the nonsense refrain, āfloy-doy, floy-doy, floy-doyā. The original lyric, recorded in January 1938, was āflat foot floozie with a floy floyā; Vocalion, however, objected to the word āfloozieā,[3] meaning a sexually promiscuous woman, or a prostitute. The second recording in February changed the word to āfloogieā. In the second part of the title phrase, āfloy floyā was slang for a venereal disease, but the term was not widely known and failed to catch the attention of censors.[8] It was regarded as nonsense and came to have positive connotations as a consequence of the song

I saw this here the other week, but it is worth re-posting, as he really nails it.
My take:
He proposed a 6>% increase on VA funding (although experts said at least a 10% increase was needed to meet minimum standards.)
He made it clear that we need to reform immigration policy, the election system and the justice system.
But overall, he lacked the character and qualifications to hold the office of Chief Executive and nothing he did ever demonstrated otherwise.
Greets and saluts from the NYC metro area. Weāre expecting more than a foot of snow over the next 48-60 hours, so thatāll be fun to deal with as Iāve got a sore elbow thanks to over compensating for my other arm still not 100% from wrist fracture back during the summer.

Oh, and the news that Trumpās entire impeachment legal team quit? BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH.
What a fucknut. They quit because they wanted to focus on the constitutionality of the impeachment trial, while Trump wanted to argue that the election was stolen.
Ummmā¦ youāre on trial for inciting an armed insurrection, and you want to argue that you were right to incite an armed insurrection to overthrow the government. Thatās good. Good.
Even though the GOP has made it clear that the would never hold Trump accountable for the insurrection, failed coup, or the felony murder of a cop, that Trump wants to keep the focus on his incitement to overthrow the government because he thinks the election win was stolen from him puts more pressure on the GOP - not less.
The constitutionality of the trial is indisputable. The impeachment was conducted while Trump was still in office. Thereās no time limit on when the trial is held. The GOP purposefully delayed the trial until after he was out of office, but that doesnāt stop the clock running or the conditions for which Trump was impeached. He did the crimes while in office, he was impeached while in office, and the GOP delayed the trial until after he was out so as to ācreate an excuseā that itās not proper to try Trump now that heās out of office after spending 4 years claiming you canāt indict a sitting president for felony conduct while he was in office. That is the GOP argument for putting a GOP president above the law - while Democrats face completely different rules while theyāre in office. #IOKIYAR.
Trump thinks his trial should focus on election fraud. Iām fine with that. Trump engaged in election fraud. We have the proof - conversations, emails, meetings, and phone calls involving Trump, his cronies in the WH and Congress all pressuring state and local officials to throw out votes, rescind certifications, and otherwise disenfranchise millions of voters so that Trump could claim he won despite losing in a landslide.
Thatās felony conduct. Thatās impeachable conduct too (but his impeachment was for inciting an insurrection) - and we have sufficient proof of that too, dating all the way back to 2017 when he insisted that he wouldnāt honor any election he lost because heād consider it fraudulent.

In San Diego and Riverside counties the snow is on the peak ridges and upslopes on the west side. Up north in San Bernardino county (like around Big Bear) the mountains are more extensive and you get a lot of snow in the valleys as well as the peaks.

re: #30 Anymouse š¹š”š·
Well, we binge-watched the first four episodes of WandaVision.
Thatās certainly an unusual combination: A romantic sitcom/superhero/science fiction/drama.
I might have to go back and watch the four episodes again, as I had a little trouble keeping up, though the anomalies in the first three episodes are explained in the fourth.
Neither of us are really superhero movie watchers, so I imagine weāre missing some of the backstory as well.
Back before Marvel Studios existed, Marvel the comic book company sold rights to make movies. When it sold the rights to make XMen movies, that included the rights to reference mutants. So, none of the Marvel Studio movies could have any characters that we would identify as mutants, and couldnāt even say the word. Thus, the Wanda in the current MCU has a different origin story than in the comics, and some of the clues in the episodes are based on her current origin.

Greets and saluts from the NYC metro area. Weāre expecting more than a foot of snow over the next 48-60 hours, so thatāll be fun to deal with as Iāve got a sore elbow thanks to over compensating for my other arm still not 100% from wrist fracture back during the summer. Getting old sucks. I can commiserate with Charles on thatā¦
Speaking of back issues, I used to wake up with all kinds of back pain until we realized our mattress was toast and we got a new one - one of the foam matrresses (a Sealy iComfort), and weāve slept so much better after that with none of the pain we used to experience. A good mattress is always a bonus and considering we spend 1/3 of our lives in a bed, splurging there makes sense.
Oh, and the news that Trumpās entire impeachment legal team quit? BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH.
What a fucknut. They quit because they wanted to focus on the constitutionality of the impeachment trial, while Trump wanted to argue that the election was stolen.
Ummmā¦ youāre on trial for inciting an armed insurrection, and you want to argue that you were right to incite an armed insurrection to overthrow the government. Thatās good. Good.
Even though the GOP has made it clear that the would never hold Trump accountable for the insurrection, failed coup, or the felony murder of a cop, that Trump wants to keep the focus on his incitement to overthrow the government because he thinks the election win was stolen from him puts more pressure on the GOP - not less.
The constitutionality of the trial is indisputable. The impeachment was conducted while Trump was still in office. Thereās no time limit on when the trial is held. The GOP purposefully delayed the trial until after he was out of office, but that doesnāt stop the clock running or the conditions for which Trump was impeached. He did the crimes while in office, he was impeached while in office, and the GOP delayed the trial until after he was out so as to ācreate an excuseā that itās not proper to try Trump now that heās out of office after spending 4 years claiming you canāt indict a sitting president for felony conduct while he was in office. That is the GOP argument for putting a GOP president above the law - while Democrats face completely different rules while theyāre in office. #IOKIYAR.
Trump thinks his trial should focus on election fraud. Iām fine with that. Trump engaged in election fraud. We have the proof - conversations, emails, meetings, and phone calls involving Trump, his cronies in the WH and Congress all pressuring state and local officials to throw out votes, rescind certifications, and otherwise disenfranchise millions of voters so that Trump could claim he won despite losing in a landslide.
Thatās felony conduct. Thatās impeachable conduct too (but his impeachment was for inciting an insurrection) - and we have sufficient proof of that too, dating all the way back to 2017 when he insisted that he wouldnāt honor any election he lost because heād consider it fraudulent.
Further to the constitutionality
There are two penalties and one, even though he has left office, is still alive (holding future office)
It would be an absurdity that one could only be convicted while still in the office
go thru the trial and resign before the vote and you could never be convicted and/or be barred from further office

Given that thereās still a pandemic going on, Church should probably wait. Pray at home.
The anti-Multi Level Marketing (anti-MLM) community has been shaken by the defection of a prominent anti-MLMer who apologized to a MLM company and then went to becoming a āmarket partnerā (i.e., independent contractor) with that company. Apparently this particular woman, who shall remain unnamed because sheās been a vindictive shit in the recent past, issuing takedown orders on very small YouTubers, was in it for whatever she could make and then she could make more as a convert. (Why yes, the religious terminology is quite deliberate.)
Anyway, there are FAR too many videos reacting to this, but hereās one very short (15 minutes, trust me, people are going far longer) that gives a recap of what has happened.
From my perspective, Multi-Level Marketing is a scam. A tiny percentage of people make money; most donāt. In fact, the customers are not the people the āmarket partnerā or whatever each company calls their independed contractors but the actual independent contractors themselves. Just reviewing the income disclosure statements of MLMs reveals this. These companies are supposed to make one available yearly, but a lot donāt. The ones that do are revealing. Hereās a list by a forensic accountant:
And hereās the most recent one from Young Living, an essential oils company:
89.6 percent of all distributors made less than $1,461/year. And the average was ZERO. So yeah, youāre making money, for your upline.
Sorry for the anti-MLM rant, itās just that with another stimulus check on the horizon, the MLM huns are going to be out looking for new targets.

10 Republican Senators have come up with a $600 billion Covid relief package that would screw the working poor by blocking the $15/hour minimum wage, and screw my family because we make a little too much to qualify for checks ($100k cutoff for couples). I am also skeptical that all 10 would actually support it if the Democrats took this deal, because they only offered knowing the Democrats would reject it.

Is it possible one of the reasons Trump wants to represent himself is so he can get in front of the cameras and put the focus on himself again?

re: #11 Charles Johnson
My chronic back problem has been acting up again today - spent the day in bed, in case anyone was wondering where Iāve been. Hopefully it will quit torturing me by tomorrow.
Ugh, feel better. I developed back issues about twenty years ago. I empathize.
The NYTimes actually did some decent reporting here about social network āsuperspreadersā - who spread lies about people as revenge:
Guy Babcock vividly remembers the chilly Saturday evening when he discovered the stain on his family. It was September 2018. He, his wife and their young son had just returned to their home in Beckley, an English village outside of Oxford. Mr. Babcock still had his coat on when he got a frantic call from his father.
āI donāt want to upset you, but there is some bad stuff on the internet,ā Mr. Babcock recalled his father saying. Someone, somewhere, had written terrible things online about Guy Babcock and his brother, and members of their 86-year-old fatherās social club had alerted him.
Mr. Babcock, a software engineer, got off the phone and Googled himself. The results were full of posts on strange sites accusing him of being a thief, a fraudster and a pedophile. The posts listed Mr. Babcockās contact details and employer.
The images were the worst: photos taken from his LinkedIn and Facebook pages that had āpedophileā written across them in red type. Someone had posted the doctored images on Pinterest, and Googleās algorithms apparently liked things from Pinterest, and so the pictures were positioned at the very top of the Google results for āGuy Babcock.ā
ā¦
Then he Googled his brotherās name. The results were just as bad.He tried his wife.
His sister.
His brother-in-law.
His teenage nephew.
His cousin.
His aunt.
They had all been hit. The men were branded as child molesters and pedophiles, the women as thieves and scammers. Only his 8-year-old son had been spared.
Guy Babcock was about to discover the power of a lone person to destroy countless reputations, aided by platforms like Google that rarely intervene. He was shocked when he discovered the identity of the assailant, the number of other victims and the duration of the digital violence.
ā¦
Mr. Babcock was sure there was a way to have lies about him wiped from the internet. Many of the slanderous posts appeared on a website called Ripoff Report, which describes itself as a forum for exposing ācomplaints, reviews, scams, lawsuits, frauds.ā (Its tagline: āconsumers educating consumers.ā)He started clicking around and eventually found a part of the site where Ripoff Report offered āarbitration services,ā which cost up to $2,000, to get rid of āsubstantially falseā information. That sounded like extortion; Mr. Babcock wasnāt about to pay to have lies removed.
Ripoff Report is one of hundreds of ācomplaint sitesā ā others include Sheās a Homewrecker, Cheaterbot and Deadbeats Exposed ā that let people anonymously expose an unreliable handyman, a cheating ex, a sexual predator.
But there is no fact-checking. The sites often charge money to take down posts, even defamatory ones. And there is limited accountability. Ripoff Report, like the others, notes on its site that, thanks to Section 230 of the federal Communications Decency Act, it isnāt responsible for what its users post.
If someone posts false information about you on the Ripoff Report, the CDA prohibits you from holding us liable for the statements which others have written. You can always sue the author if you want, but you canāt sue Ripoff Report just because we provide a forum for speech.
With that impunity, Ripoff Report and its ilk are willing to host pure, uncensored vengeance.

I got to see him solo (backed up, if I recall correctly, by his old band The Bears) in a small club (Jakeās) in Bloomington, IN in the early 1990s. He played several of the Lone Rhinoceros songs. It was amazing.
I think that time frame is when I saw him as well, at the Theater of the Living Arts in Philly. Dave Alvin opens the show.
All I remember is Alvin referencing MST3k in one of his songs, and me and about four other people in the audience knowing what that was.
Ok, thatās one thing positive for me from Facebookā¦

The latest one was titled something like āWhy Biden is already pissing me off after one week.ā I couldnāt bring myself to read it. I did, however, click on his Tweet promoting.
That was much more satisfying. From what I can tell, he was bitching about Biden cancelling Keystone. I scrolled though maybe one hundred replies and I swear to God, not one of them backed him up in any way, shape, or form. It was glorious.

I donāt see any reason to not take the results of Rand Paulās motion at face value. Trump has shown them the advantages, as it were, of fascism. And at this point, pretty much almost half of the American voting population is in literal need of cult deprogramming.
I know was just criticizing Politico for this up above, but Trump actually showing up and defending himself in the Senate might be a positive for him. He gets to spew whatever nonsense he wants live on TV, safe in knowing that he will never be convicted.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. A product with notable photo of a dog but not of a human should be enough of a giveaway.

Some reflections about how my life has changed since the inauguration:
I no longer feel the need to doomscroll or check news sites every 15 minutes to learn of the latest shitstorm. And when I do check, Iām shocked by how little new news stories are appearing. The blessed silence resulting from the blocking of shitlerās social media accounts is amazing.
Iāve experienced a time dilation rebound. Days are no longer weeks long and weeks are no longer years long. Watching a competent, prepared policy rollout and implementation happening so quickly, acknowledging the major issues facing the country, serves as a real reminder of how broken and corrupt the previous administration was while reassuring me that we have a real executive branch again.
Weekends are so much more relaxing without the āOh shitā Friday news dumps.
Iām not gritting my teeth constantly and am finally feeling the initial glimmers of relaxation, despite the dangers of the pandemic and economic concerns.
Iāll list one more: my use of the word fuck has decreased significantly. ;-)

Having worked in a dog grooming shop as a bather, brusher, tick picker, flea bath giver and butt squeezer, I know that human shampoo is bad for dogs. Itās the wrong PH.
However, we had people who brought in shampoo that they wanted us to use, and we did. Human shampoo or not, if they wanted it, we did it.
One person even brought in Downy to use as a conditioner.
Anyway, dog shampoo isnāt going to hurt people. Itās just gentler. So that dude is fine. Dumb as a post, but fine.
