Make Musk think he’s saving the planet by putting him in a time out. That’s the way forward. He has a messianic complex and thinks he can save the world by enabling fucking Nazis, right wing extremists, fascists, white nationalists, bigots, and conspiracy nuts.
I’m glad to see Russia’s air defenses working just this once…

re: #334 Nerdy Fish
I bought it without special offers. That apparently didn’t make it immune; I don’t know if it’s a bug in Fire OS or what, but my daughter started complaining of ads popping up at random times, and her tablet became increasingly unusable.
Curious. Of course, I bought mine just for streaming, and that’s all I do with it.
AP: Can a state count all its votes by hand? A North Dakota proposal aims to be the first to try
Backers of the proposed ballot measure are far from gathering enough signatures, but if the plan makes the June 2024 ballot and voters pass it, North Dakota would have to replace ballot scanners with hundreds of workers across the state who would carefully count and recount ballots.
What a cluster it would be to do hand counting of all votes. Doubt this would pass even if they get enough signatures to get it on the ballot. Gotta admire the confidence of the farmer who’s leading the effort that “They can find the people to do the job, because there are people that are willing to come in and do the hand counting.” Unemployment rate was 1.9% for the state this past October.
There’s also this tidbit at the end of the article:
Nearly 44% of voters participated by early voting or by mail in North Dakota’s November 2022 election.

What they should do is hand out one ballot per election or issue. Then provide a basket for each candidate, and the counters can toss each ballot into the correct basket. Problem solved.
(I’d suggest the Ancient Greeks’ method of voters putting stones into baskets, but even low population ND probably doesn’t have enough stones.)

And that is a state with a total population around 800,000. A state with millions of residents like New York would face a monstrous problem trying to do it since you have to store all the paper ballots (or paper output from a machine voting system) in order to handle them. And keep all that paper under proper security the whole time as well.
WTSP: Need to fill up? Florida gas prices reach lowest since June 2021
Quick online search of shows similar headlines for a lot of states. Most seem to be cribbing from a GasBuddy press release.
“As the nation’s average price of gasoline has fallen for the 13th straight week, we’re on the cusp of potentially seeing a $2.99 per gallon average for the first time in years, most welcome just in time for the Christmas holiday,” Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, said in a statement. “While the declines may soon come to an end as the price of oil has rebounded from recent lows, we could see a gentler 2024 at the pump for motorists.
“Gasoline could see its average fall below $3 this week while the price of diesel has just fallen below $4 for the first time since July, also very welcome news for the economy as nearly all goods are impacted by the price of diesel.”
ilDuce—Fat Q*Bert should have pardoned all of his 1/6 pals…
“He called that rally knowing that that was going to be in D.C. where things could get potentially out of hand, and he’s now saying he would do clemency for the nonviolent. But he could have done that when he was president. He could have taken responsibility.
“He could have said that — not the violent people, obviously that’s a bird of a different feather — but on the people that were there just as protesters and kind of got caught up in it, he could have granted clemency to them and he chose not to because I think he was told that if he did that, he could potentially risk being convicted at his Senate impeachment trial.
“So the idea that now he’s going to help people that were railroaded, he could have done that before he left office. I think there are people that came because he said to protest the election. I don’t think that they intended to do it. Some of the people that were convicted of things like trespassing, you see videos where you have police officers actually motioning for people to go in. You’ll see that, where they were just taking pictures in Statuary Hall.
“And so the issue with that is obviously they would not have been there but for the Trump rally. And those were his people. And so the question is somebody that was there and)nonviolent probably didn’t have intent to do anything when they showed up that day. He could have done things to potentially alleviate burdens on them and he didn’t. Now, he says he’s going to do it, but he didn’t when he was president.” - Ron DeSantis, today on MSNBC.

I was in my office earlier, and suddenly I hear my wife going absolutely postal on our kitten. Curious, I wandered out to find said cat halfway to the ceiling in one of Mrs. Fish’s potted plants, on the top shelf of a fairly tall shelving unit. Needless to say, Mrs. Fish is growing increasingly eager to get the cat acclimated to outdoor life.

I can’t imagine doing it for even just a school district. Our local school board election was the only thing on the ballot this fall - eleven candidates vying for 4 spots. The highest vote getter of the group of 4 sane folks was just over 9500. The highest vote getter of the 4 MN Parents Alliance (think Moms for Liberty) was about 4700. It would be fair to estimate at least 14,000 ballots. Counting one vote a second would take nearly 4 hours and you’d have to repeat for each candidate and likely have to recount each candidate three times or more for accuracy. It would take days with a dozen people doing the counting and there’d be lots of potential errors.

‘WE’RE NOT SCARED OF THESE PARASITES’: THE VIOLENT WHITE NATIONALIST LEADER MENACING TENNESSEE
Kauffmann’s group is part of a larger network of white power “active clubs” that have appeared across the U.S. in recent years. Active clubs train, hold fight club events and promote a type of white nationalist brotherhood that focuses on physical fitness and an aggressive white Christian masculinity that borrows heavily from European far-right groups. Kauffmann leads an active club that is particularly threatening. Under his leadership, the Tennessee Active Club has attempted to intimidate local journalists, activists and politicians, as well as harass participants of LGBTQ+ inclusive events and perceived “anti-white” organizations. Kauffmann’s story mirrors that of the increasingly hostile and aggressive white nationalist movement taking root in active clubs across the country. These groups have grown in number over the past few years and seem increasingly willing to escalate conflict and use violence to achieve their racist political goals.

I saw this reposted in a thread on Dutch Twitter. I said, “Hoe doe ik ‘dangerous as fuck’ in Nederlands spreken?” TONS of likes!

Most likely you are correct. The whole Kang thing wasn’t really catching on like Marvel hoped anyway. The recent Ant Man movie proved that enemy is no big draw by himself. Probably a quick pivot to a more known entity like Dr Doom or Galactus. Galactus was already presented in a previous Fantastic Four movie, albeit Fox produced.
I however was looking forward to seeing what they eventually did with Kang. Probably “doomed” now I suppose.

Thank you for posting that summary — matches my reaction to the design, based on several years of pushing my mom in her wheelchair and now being on a walker myself. The person pushing a wheelchair has to go backwards down the ramps, to keep their passenger safe from falling or feeling like they’re going to fall, while navigating over their own shoulder to stay in the right line. The ‘stramp’ looks like a bloody nightmare for that — no rails, sharp corners, cross traffic from the other folks walking up or down. Doesn’t look much easier for navigating with a walker, for some of the same reasons.
Pretty. Not functional.

re: #96 Love-Child of Cassandra and Sisyphus
fill up those aquifers!
Total accumulated precip through the 27th (locally, 12Z 28Dec UTC):
The central Sierras will get some good snow, but the southern Sierra will not, unfortunately.
We are in a very long process of drying out parts of the US, the western part. Eastern part of the US should see increasing precip as surface temps warm.

So - isn’t this just more of what, in legal terms, is classified as “Standard Trump Legal Bullshit” - i.e., appealing anything and everything “upstairs” to try to postpone any sort of reckoning? Or run out the clock as much as possible in the (fervently-wished-to-be-vain) hope that *eventually* someone (i.e. Someone Else) will blink/give in/try to settle, etc.??
ISTM that It Just Ain’t Gonna Work Anymore: this isn’t some plumbing contractor from The Bronx suing over being stiffed for boiler repairs at Trump Tower or whatever: this is serious shit.
My guess: the full DC Circuit takes about a day (actually probably about 15 minutes, but *procedure*, folks) to slap Trump down (again); and so back to our regularly-scheduled program….

it’s doing something for the sake of doing something. Per the Federal Rules:
When Hearing or Rehearing En Banc May Be Ordered. A majority of the circuit judges who are in regular active service and who are not disqualified may order that an appeal or other proceeding be heard or reheard by the court of appeals en banc. An en banc hearing or rehearing is not favored and ordinarily will not be ordered unless:
(1) en banc consideration is necessary to secure or maintain uniformity of the court’s decisions; or
(2) the proceeding involves a question of exceptional importance.
His lawyers will argue exceptional importance, but I don’t think the Court is going to buy “a party running for public office not getting to talk shit” is a question of exceptional importance.

re: #83 Florida Panhandler
Most likely you are correct. The whole Kang thing wasn’t really catching on like Marvel hoped anyway. The recent Ant Man movie proved that enemy is no big draw by himself. Probably a quick pivot to a more known entity like Dr Doom or Galactus. Galactus was already presented in a previous Fantastic Four movie, albeit Fox produced.
I however was looking forward to seeing what they eventually did with Kang. Probably “doomed” now I suppose.
There was one movie with Kang, and the lines with Loki. Not exactly a history, unlike Thanos whose presence was felt across multiple stories.
He will be around, as his storyline is rather pivotal to merging the MCU and the Fox X-Men universes together.
re: #29 dat_said
I can’t imagine doing it for even just a school district. Our local school board election was the only thing on the ballot this fall - eleven candidates vying for 4 spots. The highest vote getter of the group of 4 sane folks was just over 9500. The highest vote getter of the 4 MN Parents Alliance (think Moms for Liberty) was about 4700. It would be fair to estimate at least 14,000 ballots. Counting one vote a second would take nearly 4 hours and you’d have to repeat for each candidate and likely have to recount each candidate three times or more for accuracy. It would take days with a dozen people doing the counting and there’d be lots of potential errors.
Illinois usually has dozens of judicial races each election, as well as a host of other statewide/county wide/district wide races. This is a ridiculous idea developed by people who don’t understand counting or who are trying to sabotage the whole process.

Russia seems to have little or no IFF (Identify Friend or Foe) capability. This fuckup keeps happening because the systems can’t automatically and securely identify each other. Couple that with trigger happy air defense and this is what you get.
I’m betting this is either the secondary or even the primary reason for Ukraine to be sending drones into Russian airspace. Besides actually destroying targets, it also means air defense in Russia is looking for threats and ready to shoot them down, but no IFF so Russia ends up downing their own aircraft in their own country.

Northern Saw-whet owls are pretty small as well and like to roost in tangles/close brush.
One was spotted in the wildlife refuge south of Philly and they actually had a sign up indicating a ranger had spotted one and where the sight was. I thus have a photo of an owl’s butt since it was in a brushy tangle just off the trail and the angle to even see the owl was very small. (And they requested people going to see it to not leave the trail.)

From the pictures, it was a juvenile — which means it had been on its own for a while before someone carried its home away. (Owlets are born in the spring and leave their parents after a few months.)

re: #89 CleverToad
Thank you for posting that summary — matches my reaction to the design, based on several years of pushing my mom in her wheelchair and now being on a walker myself. The person pushing a wheelchair has to go backwards down the ramps, to keep their passenger safe from falling or feeling like they’re going to fall, while navigating over their own shoulder to stay in the right line. The ‘stramp’ looks like a bloody nightmare for that — no rails, sharp corners, cross traffic from the other folks walking up or down. Doesn’t look much easier for navigating with a walker, for some of the same reasons.
Pretty. Not functional.
The first year at my last job (retired after 31 years there) my department was in a small 2 story building on the company campus. There was a stunning staircase to the 2nd floor where my office was. Let’s just say no one ever made the mistake of taking that staircase more than once. We always headed to the back staircase. The one at the entrance was visually disorienting when you tried to walk upstairs. Fortunately, my group then relocated to the main buildings and never had to deal with that again.

The Scottish Malt Whisky Society are a bunch of amiable nutters with access to a large quantity of limited-edition single malts. Thay have, of course, contacts within the arcane and eccentric Scottish distilling industry. They also have their terrorist kamikaze wing who, ah, “experiment”.
One night long ago after a tasting session in the Edinburgh sample rooms someone posed a question that should not, perhaps, have ever been asked. “What would we get if we aged a single malt in a barrel previously used to ferment Tabasco sauce?”
Several years later, they tapped the hell-barrel and sampled the results which were rated as being between “meh” and “urgh” on the drinking scale. The barrel was put away in the back of the stockroom and strenuously forgotten about. Much later it resurfaced and was sampled again. It was still “meh” but one member took home a quantity to use in his culinary experiments which, it turned out, were definitely not “meh”, oh no. This sparked a flurry of further experiments which included Tabasco-whisky flavoured ice cream. The rest of the hell-barrel was sold off in limited quantities as “Hot Scotch” and is sadly no longer available in the Society’s catalogue.

Honestly, I’m surprised how many actually survived. I guess most of the places that were able to get on door dash or the like did alright (though apparently door dash takes a big percentage), but a lot of places that were on the nicer sit down side had it rougher.

Glad to see the Hug Bibi In Public plan is working so well:
“I’m proud that I prevented the establishment of a Palestinian state because today everybody understands what that Palestinian state could have been, now that we’ve seen the little Palestinian state in Gaza,” Netanyahu said at a news conference.
(snip)
“Everyone understands what would have happened if we had capitulated to international pressures and enabled a state like that in Judaea and Samaria, surrounding Jerusalem and on the outskirts of Tel Aviv,” Netanyahu said.
Netanyahu also took aim at the Palestinian Authority, the governing authority in Palestinian-controlled areas of the West Bank. He described the Oslo Accords ― the 1993 diplomatic agreements between Israel and the Palestinian Liberation Organization that led to the creation of the Palestinian Authority ― as a “mistake,” and said he had “inherited” the agreements.
