Snow is all but over in Philly. Dodged a dumping. My daughter was hoping for avalanche crews working the downtown canyons.

Flyers are in big trouble. TWO ten game losing streaks and the season half over.
They have no imagination either. They honored Keith Yandle for breaking the Iron Man record for consecutive games played before the game.
IF they had imagination they would have cut the lights, fired up Black Sabbaths Iron Man and watched the roof fly off the place.
They used to have imagination, but the biggest sign inside the arena says “WELCOME TO COMCAST COUNTRY.”
Corporate Flyers are the worst Flyers

We are cold here in metro Atlanta today. It was 20 degrees this morning with maybe 1/2 inch of snow falling last night. It only stuck to the deck and roof and lightly dusted the grass. It’s about 30 degrees now and windy and cold AF. Looks like the roads are dry and clear though. The Kid is going out with his friends to a death metal show with 6 bands playing. One of his buddies is 25 today, so there will be beer and moshing.

Strange — I’m in Kansas and it’s only 1 out of 10 maskless, but of course this is really the purple bastion of District 3 in the NE corner . The current redistricting push is to subdivide that up between three different rural areas to disenfranchise us.

re: #18 Eclectic Cyborg

I am going as early as I can tomorrow morning to avoid maskholes and antivax dipshits. It’s become really bad here, maybe 2 out of every 10 people are masked. Rarely see kids masked up. And we’re one of the highest counties for deaths and new cases in the state. So we’ve got that going for us.

Another “Age”. From The Age of Anxiety—Auden

Arrogant officers, armed in cars
Go roaring down roads on the wrong side
Courts martial meet at midnight with drums,
And pudgy persons pace unsmiling
The quays and stations or cruise the nights
In vans for victims, to investigate
In sound-proof cells the Sense of Honor.
…
Lord of this life. He looks natural,
He smiles well, he smells of the future
Odorless ages, an ordered world
Of planned pleasures and passport control,
Sentry-go, sedatives, soft drinks and
Managed money, a moral planet
Tamed by terror: his telegram sets
Grey masses moving as the mud dries.
Many have perished. More will.”

My neighbor saw me shoveling so he came out to finish up what I started. He told not to worry because he got the rock salt and will spread that on the walk after he has finished shoveling. It is a light and fluffy snow but there is close to 6 inches of the stuff.

re: #276 Barefoot Grin

We seem to have partially dodged a bullet. Predictions as late as early this morning called for 9-12” with winds up to 40MPH. Now our totals for snow are more like 4-5”, but the wind speeds are the same. I think we’re about 30 miles from the coast where things are far worse. Anyway, it looks bad outside my window, but it’s most just wind blowing the fine powdery stuff around.

I got booted from Twitter last summer. It really pissed me off at first, and I even sent a couple of appeals to them. But after a few weeks I realized my stress levels had gone down considerably and now I keep my suspended account cookies simply so I can see embedded tweets people share from that cesspool.

re: #38 Charles Johnson

We really need to invest in mental health care, there’s thousands of examples of why just on Twitter alone. What’s really sad is that most of these people don’t have anyone who loves them enough to help them, or their loved ones have given up hope. Or worse, are just like them.

We have a lot to clean up before we can really be bragging about how awesome we are.

re: #41 darthstar

That’s exactly how I feel. I would wake in the morning and feel like the world was screaming at me from the foot of my bed. And the entire site is built around outrage and baiting. Some nut stain can get away with racist remarks and you tell him to walk off a roof and now you the bad guy.
You have violated the TOS.
Meta my ass. Instagram too. Monetized for good folks is good but the roaches find the cracks. And Facebook is just a joke, a bad joke.
I went and blocked, unfollowed, ghosted and then for the dense, told them to just fuck off. Just. Fuck. Off. See me in the meat world and talk to me like that hard guy.
No loss.
The only thing Twitter was actually good for was contacting businesses to fix stuff. Got my money from ATT that they jacked me for, for 9 months.
Got my $300 from Bob’s Furniture that they said they did not owe me.
Beyond that? Pfffff..

I’ve never been to South Korea (or North, for that matter). But there are certain neighborhoods in Tokyo and Osaka that are predominantly Korean since the colonial period. When you get off the train in one such neighborhood in Osaka the smell of Korean BBQ restaurants hits you and you somehow get magically transported into one and before you know it you find a large mug of beer in your hand an a tray of marinated meat to cook for yourself and the friend whom you hopefully remembered to bring along. So good.

My cousin’s house is in the opening scene of “Fried Green Tomatoes” and many items from their son’s room were used in a scene where Kathy Bates smashes out a wall in her character’s home. Later, Kevin Costner filmed “The War” there. His crew used my cousin’s hardware store quite frequently for supplies. Later “The Walking Dead” filmed scenes there. I’d say it has been ok for the local economy of Senoia, GA. He would have had little use for MTG (my cousin—his hardware store has been gone several years since he passed).

WASHINGTON (TND) — In a video shared on social media this week, a golfing former President Donald Trump joked about being “the 45th and 47th” president of the United States.

Although Trump has made no definitive announcements about his future plans, he continues to publicly hint at another run for the White House in 2024. However, the latest polls suggest the former president could be a liability to Republican efforts to unseat the 46th president.

There’s this “Freedom Convoy” gathering in Ottawa, Canada right now, and apparently these Freedumb types are being real asshats to the locals, particularly service personnel.

(More in the thread)

From a comment at SAV:

So here in Canada, we have this “freedumb rally” of truck drivers that are purported to be protesting vaccine mandates. In reality, it’s just another right wing grift , looking to make as much money from , of course, a go fund me. Also, this grift is brought to you by Canada’s Texabama province, Alberta .

Good luck with that, lol. Tyler Perry has way more money and power here than she does, and more beyond him. We know a young man who used to work for my husband who now works for a movie studio in south GA as a medic, training he got via the National Guard. He just bought his first new vehicle and paid cash for it and he’s putting money away so he can get married once his fiancé graduates med school. He was a building maintenance engineer and made decent money, but the studio job is lots better paying and has great benefits. Those jobs get run out by Republicans and a lot of people are going to be effected and pissed off about it.

I think we are forgetting something about Marjorie and the movie biz: Deliverance was set, and filmed, in Georgia in 1972, in Marjorie’s district in fact.
It was a major milestone in the development of the Georgia film industry, providing work and top credits for local production contractors and allowing them to show their stuff on the big stage.
It left quite a legacy, not to mention the direct involvement of the yokel Repug’s equivalent of Satan.

Following the film’s release, Governor Jimmy Carter established a state film commission to encourage television and movie production in Georgia. The state has “become one of the top five production destinations in the U.S”. Tourism increased to Rabun County by the tens of thousands after the film’s release. By 2012, tourism was the largest source of revenue in the county, and rafting had developed as a $20 million industry in the region.

It’s very beautiful in that part of the state. Really the whole top one third or so of GA is full of mountains, lots of forested areas, we even have Cloudland Canyon State Park up in the NW corner of the state. It’s also pretty conservative politics and religion wise, but it’s the south, it’s not a surprise really. The film/entertainment industry has lifted more than a couple of families out of poverty either directly or indirectly(people spending money in and around your town seems to have that effect, who would have guessed?). If that goes away, it’s going to leave a mark. A lot of them.

Georgia had a film industry before Deliverance but it was mostly directed at helping Hollywood B-listers who needed cheap hillbilly sets. I remember seeing a couple of Georgia-made films on family night at a local drive in ca. 1964. Can’t remember the titles but they were products of Woolner Brothers, a California company noted for its association with Roger Corman. My dad commented, “Wow, I’ll bet this movie cost someone eight hundred dollars to make.”

Kinda somewhat of a spoiler, but MTG’s bgibberings notwithstanding, it’s REALLY unlikely that the film industry is going to be abandoning Georgia any time soon.

The big studios have resources to fend off most of this bullshit, but smaller ones won’t want to deal.

″It is likely that these cold temperatures will stun and immobilize iguanas, causing them to lose their grip while sleeping from their usually safe perches in trees,” wrote James Stroud, a postdoctoral researcher at Washington University in St. Louis, in an email.

re: #112 BeachDem

The directions for truly experiencing a blizzard is being on the road, heading into it hoping to get home before the shit hits the fan. All is going well and even though the snow is falling and the wind is picking up you are still moving. You got half a tank of fuel, some snacks and a bottle of water. Somewhere ahead a car or truck has gotten too comfortable with road conditions and managed to not go off the road but bounce off of guard rails and involve a few other vehicles. Being the road warriors they are, they only make it worse and completely jam the two lanes and berm trying to get out. Traffic backs up and few put on 4 ways and just as you stop an empty 18 wheeler who was jamming to Merle Haggard slams into the line of stopped vehicles in the passing lane, barely missing your vehicle. Now your eyes are on your rear view mirror as you realize there are more coming at speed and they must be talking on the phone because they ain’t paying any attention to the oncoming cluster.
You fight the urge to try and crawl to the berm as another road warrior screams past you on the right and slams into the van ahead of you and pinwheels off into the median strip.
Your phone rings. It’s your wife asking you what time you might be home just as your eyes are drawn to the high beams bearing down on you.
Two days later, you’ve been in your first blizzard and you admire your piss insignia around your car.

As I have gotten older and, hopefully, wiser, I increasingly prefer to not drive in threatening weather conditions. The reason is my preference to not participate in others’ accidents.

Commercial drivers often do not really have that option. They are under such tremendous pressure that they risk their lives to hauling in deliveries. My respect for these folks and their sacrifices has only grown as I have gotten older.

Years ago, when my wife and I were still dating, we got caught in a brutal blizzard just outside Erie, PA. We very carefully managed our way to the next exit off the Interstate (which was the last exit that had much of anything for quite a stretch) and got a hotel for the night.

The Washington Post had a short article today about he and the current storm:

Jim Cantore, ‘Dr. Doom of the Weather,’ helps cameraman knocked over by wind: ‘It’s blowing out here’

When it comes to extreme weather, Jim Cantore has seen and done it all — but the unexpected still happened during a live shot while he was covering Saturday’s blizzard.

Reporting from near Boston’s Long Wharf, the Weather Channel meteorologist pointed out to WBZ the “impressive drifts” caused by the snow and wind of the nor’easter battering the region. As he was talking about the dropping visibility, Cantore saw his cameraman fall over.

“Oh wow, the wind just knocked my cameraman down,” he told the anchor. “Are you all right? Come on back up, buddy.”

After the cameraman said he was fine, Cantore reiterated the strength of the wind: “It’s blowing out here, man. It’s absolutely blowing here.”

It seems to me that you and your lady showed great wisdom.

Back in the 1970’s, I had a college friend from Erie. It was a very snowy winter and one weekend he went back home. When he came back the following Monday, I asked how the trip was. He said the snow there was deeper than he was tall. He was 6’ tall.

I remember that one. It was good and yes, graphic in parts, but um, war is violence and madness and mayhem and fear and hate and so much more. The cost is far beyond dollars, but imagine a world where the money spent just on war/defense/weapons and transportation and troop training and deployment etc was spent on education, health and elimination of poverty, making sure no one goes hungry. It’s maddening.

Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.

This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some fifty miles of concrete pavement. We pay for a single fighter plane with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people.
