John Oliver discusses the new trend of AI-generated images based on text prompts, and, of course, what it all has to do with cabbage.

Oh, FFS, Guilfoyle, no one is getting a marketable degree in basketweaving, either of underwater variety or above-water variety. Most students are pursuing degrees in more socially worthwhile pursuits than Speech and Communications with a concentration in Television Journalism.
We’ve been talking about this:
Trumpism Before Trump
How a small group of reactionaries hijacked the Republican Party—decades before the 2016 election.
washingtonmonthly.com
Over the past decade, Nicole Hemmer, an associate professor at Vanderbilt and founding director of the Carolyn T. and Robert M. Rogers Center for the Study of the Presidency, has been a prolific commentator about the political right. In her excellent 2017 study, Messengers of the Right, she traced the emergence after World War II of a right-wing media ecosphere, focusing on publications such as Human Events and National Review, not to mention pioneering figures like the radio broadcaster Clarence Manion. Now, in Partisans, Hemmer brings the story closer to the present, zooming in on the efforts of movement conservatives, ranging from Patrick Buchanan to Rush Limbaugh, to begin reshaping the Republican Party in their own image during the 1990s.
Clarence Manion’s wife Gina was a friend of ours, and a pretty nice lady for the wife of such a worm as CM.

re: #55 retired cynic
I’m convinced that the origin story of the present day cesspit of Satan known as the GOP is a small group of GOP plutocrats that didn’t want to pay their taxes after the New Deal was put in place.
There may or may not have been an actual “business plot” vs. FDR, but IMO the core of the GOP has been anti-American and anti-Democracy ever since then. Exploiting resentful racists as part of the civil rights realignment is when these sociopaths found a way to get enough votes for their filthy agenda to pose a real threat.

Interesting question - what’s in the redacted portion between “classified documents” and “were removed”? Also note the later “any other items.”
Was there classified that wasn’t a “document”? Models? Dioramas?

I expect US and EU intelligence is able to counter that kind of shit.
In addition, the occupiers are forcing Ukrainians to cover up the traces of the crimes of the Russian army fighters. Thus, the personnel of the power plant are forced to cover up bullet holes from Russian shelling on the building.

So - the Ukrainian military has launched multiple attacks on Russian positions in the Kherson region.
We’ll see how huge the situation is.— Illia Ponomarenko 🇺🇦 (@IAPonomarenko) August 29, 2022
My theory on what’s happening: the Ukrainian military has found a weak spot in Russian defenses in Kherson Oblast (possibly on the southern bank of the Inhulets River) and decided to deliver a strike.
I think it’s at the tactical level, but we’ll see.— Illia Ponomarenko 🇺🇦 (@IAPonomarenko) August 29, 2022
Russian milbloggers also confirm Ukrainian tactical progress in Kherson Oblast. Look like Ukrainian forces have probably had a local rush through Russian defenses on the Inhulets River bank and are trying to consolidate their success.

Well, apparently I have a raging ear infection. My left ear has occasionally, very occasionally, hurt for the last couple of months. (It seems to have started after I got Covid 2 months ago.) This morning I woke up and it *throbbed* and steadily got worse. So I worked through the first half of the day with a throbbing left ear and a sinus headache. Then I went to urgent care ($75) and came away with a prescription for an antibiotic and recommendations to take decongestants and Tylenol. Because I have the dreaded diabeetus, I couldn’t get a steroid. Not sure why I’d want a steroid, but I’m 62 years old and I thought ear infections were for little kids. Guess not.

I had near perfect hearing even though I was in the Navy working in the engine room on a carrier when I was in my 20s, and around age 40 I got an ear infection and it completely messed up my ability to hear clearly anywhere I’m not facing.
