re: #2 Charles Johnson

I suddenly got into the beta for post dot news yesterday. It’s got some bugs, and works best in a browser, but it has potential. Plus some people I know have set up accounts there. Mastodon I don’t understand. However, I am looking forward to what you’ve got coming, Charles, because you’ve been so very responsive to users here on LGF.

Well this is just peachy. From Reuters:

Elon Musk says Twitter’s ban on Trump after Capitol attack was ‘grave mistake’

By Kanishka Singh

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Twitter’s ban on then President Donald Trump after the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol by his supporters was a “grave mistake” that had to be corrected, Chief Executive Elon Musk said on Friday, although he also stated that incitement to violence would continue to be prohibited on Twitter.

“I’m fine with Trump not tweeting. The important thing is that Twitter correct a grave mistake in banning his account, despite no violation of the law or terms of service,” Musk said in a tweet. “Deplatforming a sitting President undermined public trust in Twitter for half of America.”

Last week, Musk announced the reactivation of Trump’s account after a slim majority voted in a Twitter poll in favor of reinstating Trump, who said, however, that he had no interest in returning to Twitter. He added he would stick with his own social media site Truth Social, the app developed by Trump Media & Technology Group.

Republican Trump, who 10 days ago announced he was running for election again in 2024, was banned on Jan. 8, 2021, from Twitter under its previous owners.

At the time, Twitter said it permanently suspended him because of the risk of further incitement of violence following the storming of the Capitol. The results of the November 2020 presidential election won by Democrat Joe Biden were being certified by lawmakers when the Capitol was attacked after weeks of false claims by Trump that he had won.

I don’t have a link because I got it off post dot news, but I’m sure you can find it on the Reuters website. That said, Elron is a terrible person and obviously doesn’t f***ing recognize that Trump tried to overthrow the government in 2021.

In a Friday night Twitter thread on her newly restored account, Green wrote, “I’ve been noticing in certain echo chambers absurd criticism of Pres Trump and J6’ers.

“Anyone claiming that President Trump is doing nothing for pre-trial January 6 defendants is either lying, clueless, or wants to hurt him. He has said over and over at practically every single rally that he will pardon January 6 defendants when he becomes president again,” she wrote. “”I’ve been to a lot of rallies this year and I’ve heard him say he will pardon J6 defendants multiple times. I have not heard any other potential 2024 presidential candidate say that yet.”

He had a full two weeks after J6, while he was still president, that he could have pardoned them all. He chose not to. It would have taken one page, didn’t even need to specify names and charges…

just like Carter pardoned all the draft dodgers. He didn’t have to list them by name, or specify charges, just said “all of them” and it was done.

It should be noted that going forward Twitter is now comfortable with the overthrow of the US Government by violent means.

It is also comfortable with the diminishment and eventual elimination of black people by any means necessary.

It is also comfortable with the diminishment and eventual elimination of LGBT people by any means necessary.

Twitter is also comfortable with posts geared towards the persecution and eventual elimination of Jews.

Let’s acknowledge what Twitter, under the guise of “absolutist free speech” has become inside 1 month. …A festering den of hate and violence towards those increasing along the spectrum away from Mayflower white paternalism.

Also it should be noted that, as President, Reagan made no moves to undo/modify said pardons: one Republican practice unchanged over the decades- let Democrats take heat over “controversial” (if popular) actions: criticize the hell out of them, but then let the actions stand (or take undeserved credit for them).

Iirc, Decatur Deb brought this issue up when the US first announced that we were providing artillery to the Ukrainians. The US logisticians are beginning to realize that their expected artillery usage in a major European war might have been a little too optimistic.

The Russians, btw, have been facing the worn out barrel issue for some time.

During WW2 when the US Army faced worn out barrels, the solution was just to replace the cannon with another and ship the worn out one to a depot for rebuilding.

The WW2 German solution was generally to keep firing it. Because they often didn’t have any spare cannon, spare cannon barrels, any way to ship it back to a depot, or any depot to ship it to. Needless to say randomly falling artillery shells did not help German morale.

I think it should be clear by now that Twitter is no longer really a for-profit endeavor. It is now Elon’s own personal weapon against everyone and everything he feels has wronged him over the years.

Large Profit for him is not the motive. Elon’s personal wealth at this point is already beyond normal human comprehension and cannot be spent on material interests in several lifetimes. His goal now is to eliminate Twitter’s running costs as much as possible and capitalize on a world-wide network of tribal supremacist movements and their backers to keep the lights on, the code functioning, and his personal vendetta against altruism itself ongoing.

No. Musty doesn’t care.

Musk is doing what powerful people always do.

If you even slightly challenge that the wealthy and the powerful aren’t entitled to…everything they have and everything they’re grasping for…they deem you an existential threat and smash you into nothingness using whatever tool is available. They’re taking the old tricks out of mothballs: there’s leftist radicals and perverts and if we just get rid of them then the system would work…pay no attention to how abuse of power actually happens. That words have no definition is part of their worldview: they are the the deciders, what they dislike is socialism and perversion and must be crushed.

But all of that is too…polite?…an assessment, because it makes them sound driven by sound material motives: no, these are self-involved people that think they are better and think they are due deference. These aren’t smart people; they haven’t arrived at their position of “words mean what I need them to mean” because they’re cunning: they are incurious, incapable of engaging with the world as anything other than a power struggle.

What is true is what is gratifying.

Which is all to say the Elon Musk is probably trashing Twitter because free speech is when people to kiss his ass and tell him he’s funny, and that people that he finds challenging—whether that’s because they question something he doesn’t want questioned, or just because he’d prefer they not exist—don’t get free speech.

It’s the opposite side of how empty the word “woke” is—it can mean whatever the accuser needs, the important part is the reflexive total rejection.

Mick Ryan is a retired Australian general. I tend to read his twitter as being from the perspective of the Australian Defense Establishment, a small , isolated, European-centric nation near a number of fairly large Asian countries. Including China, Japan, Indonesia, etc.

Regarding the specific issue of a Chinese attack on Taiwan…

There is indeed a lot of concern regarding China’s intentions towards Taiwan. Both Japan and Australia are conducting defense reviews on how to address China and the National Security issues connected with it.

The current assumption had been that Taiwan would be doomed should the Chinese choose to invade. However, Ukraine’s experience is changing that outlook. But it will take time, probably 5-10 years for Taiwan to build up it’s defense capabilities.

Will China give it that time? Will Taiwan use that time effectively? Can the US and its allies intervene successfully in the event of Chinese moves against Taiwan? Beats the hell out of me…

Welp, a low pressure system that was supposed to lift out of West Texas to the NE has stalled out over the Petroplex (Midland/Odessa) and is finally beginning move and to pump pulses of unstable air and Pacific moisture into CenTex. We were promised this rain much earlier today.

The forecast is still kinda thinking about dousing us with the 2-3” we’ve been promised (we’ve received around .63” so far) but we’ll have to see.

We’re going to a wedding tomorrow morning! It’s John Burnett and his later in life partner Margaret, who met cute 25 years ago and both had spouses and children. For whatever reasons I don’t want to know, they split with their initial spouses, independently, after the kids went to college, before meeting up again and binding.

I am so happy for them. In case you haven’t heard of John, he has been an NPR radio reporter for over 20 years and is retiring at the end of the year. Margaret was a Spokes for Governor Richards.

Yikes. (hi)

Queensland’s police say this is an unprecedented trial, as what they describe as an entire “fringe” Christian church is on trial for murder.

The charges laid is that the mother of an eight year-old girl withheld insulin from her, trusting God would heal her.

Unlike the United States, where in thirty-five states and territories you can do this in the name of “religious freedom,” in Australia it is always criminal to withhold medical care from a child.

None of the accused has a lawyer and all are representing themselves. They are all testifying that the charges cannot apply to them because the child will return to them.

The mother was released from prison one month before, jailed for withholding medical care from her daughter.

Australia’s ABC details the charges against each and the court hearings so far. It is being run as a live blog.

I abhor the often used phrase ” _____ is a mental disease” as I think it trivializes true mental illness.

In that case you cite, though, I think it clear that the “church” is demonstrating one of the problems Homo sapiens has developed in being able to tell reality from fiction.

Why and how this has come about I am not sure, but I do believe it is a product of 1) our existential angst, and 2) our developed language skills.

I agree on “X is a mental disease” when an action is not the result of mental disease: Those with mental disorders are more often victims than perpetrators, and the statement trivialises actual mental disorders.

I also take issue with the description of “fringe” religious belief (except in the idea that a small number of people hold that belief). By definition religious beliefs cannot be proven: “fringe” is meant to paint the group as weird or different and possibly contemptible. It is an appeal to popularity fallacy. “Fringe” might also rise to become “mainstream.”

“Fringe” can also be used colloquially to mean “delusion.” Delusion has a specific meaning in psychiatry or psychology: an idiosyncratic belief or impression that is firmly maintained despite being contradicted by what is generally accepted as reality or rational argument, typically a symptom of mental disorder.

The “symptom of a mental disorder” is important in that definition. The word “delude” is first attested to in English in 1628, a period of universal religious belief (or you were killed). When the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual was first compiled, and through the current revision, religious belief is explicitly excluded from the definition of delusion. Every psychiatrist in the land would be killed if they defined religion as a mental disorder of delusion.

Civil disobedience in Colorado Springs:

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KKTV) - Vandals defaced a sign outside a local Christian ministry Thursday, accusing the organization of complicity in the horrific massacre at an LGBTQ+ nightclub.

“Their blood is on your hands. Five lives taken,” reads the graffiti on the brick Focus on the Family sign, which outside its facility off Briargate Parkway in north Colorado Springs.

Police told 11 News partner The Gazette that the statement was spray-painted at some point during the wee hours of Thursday morning. Following the incident, someone tried to conceal the graffiti with a tarp and cardboard, but as of Friday the tarp had fallen off, leaving much of the wording visible.

re: #106 Anymouse 🌹🏡😷

The psychiatry profession has self-awareness of their religion problem, mostly.

But in American society there is a greatly powerful pushback against examining religious beliefs.

I contend that not every religious belief is a delusion - most of it is wishful thinking, but that is not delusion.

But if a person, such as the mother your article discusses, withholds insulin from a child and her reason is that “God” is going to heal her child, I think that counts as delusion.

Because primate mothers in their right mind do not plan to hurt their children.

Now ignorance can come into play here: perhaps the mother in question does not understand diabetes or insulin.

That her in-group reifies her wrongful and harmful belief is a societal problem, not an indication of the women’s own mental illness.

Countries and the mental health professionals therein really need to bite the bullet and tackle the problem of group delusions in religion.

Motivational Saturday from the Russian government to its army.

Russian soldiers are allegedly being told to fight in Ukraine or “they might disappear”. Others, suffering from diseases including HIV and Hepatitis C, were previously reported to have been drafted to the front lines.

Particular attention has been paid in recent months to exactly who Russia is sending to the battlefield, following a number of apparent setbacks for Moscow.

Vladimir Putin mobilised 300,000 reservists to Ukraine in September - the first time a Russian leader had done so since the Second World War.

Several groups were supposed to be excluded from this call-up, but reports at the time suggested these rules were only loosely followed.

Others now claim that Russian prisoners are being made to fight in Ukraine with threats of longer jail time for failing to comply.

Ratchet up the paranoia in Russia’s government.

CIA Aims to Recruit Spies Among Russians Displeased With Ukraine War (Wall Street Journal, November 22, 2022)

WASHINGTON—The CIA’s espionage chief used his first in-person public appearance since taking the post last year to make a pitch to potential agents.

David Marlowe, the Central Intelligence Agency’s deputy director of operations, told an academic audience that the invasion of Ukraine has been a massive failure for Russian President Vladimir Putin and opens opportunities for Western intelligence agencies among disaffected Russians.

“Putin was at his best moment the day before he invaded,” when he still had the ability to coerce Ukraine, influence NATO, and demonstrate that Russia is a powerful nation, Mr. Marlowe said at George Mason University’s Hayden Center. “He squandered every single bit of that.”

“We’re looking around the world for Russians who are as disgusted with that as we are,” he said. “Because we’re open for business.”

The article gives a few scenarios:

1) Putin is convinced to step down. The problem with that is any person who suggests it to him and Putin disagrees is going to have an awful afternoon. If successful, another weak leader takes his place to negotiate withdrawal from Ukraine to take the fall.

2) He is assassinated. That would require someone close to him to do the deed, resulting in a nasty power struggle amongst other leaders.

3) He is ignored. That would probably result in governors and military units fighting with each other, resulting in a civil war.

I like this headline at the Centre for European Policy Analysis

It’s Costing Peanuts for the US to Defeat Russia (November 18, 2022)

Altogether, the Biden administration received Congressional approval for $40bn in aid for Ukraine for 2022 and has requested an additional $37.7bn for 2022. More than half of this aid has been earmarked for defense. 

These sums pale into insignificance when set against a total US defense budget of $715bn for 2022. The assistance represents 5.6% of total US defense spending. But Russia is a primary adversary of the US, a top tier rival not too far behind China, its number one strategic challenger. In cold, geopolitical terms, this war provides a prime opportunity for the US to erode and degrade Russia’s conventional defense capability, with no boots on the ground and little risk to US lives.

The Ukrainian armed forces have already killed or wounded upwards of 100,000 Russian troops, half its original fighting force; there have been almost 8,000 confirmed losses of armored vehicles including thousands of tanks, thousands of APCs, artillery pieces, hundreds of fixed and rotary wing aircraft, and numerous naval vessels. US spending of 5.6% of its defense budget to destroy nearly half of Russia’s conventional military capability seems like an absolutely incredible investment. If we divide out the US defense budget to the threats it faces, Russia would perhaps be of the order of $100bn-150bn in spend-to-threat. So spending just $40bn a year, erodes a threat value of $100-150bn, a two-to-three time return.  Actually the return is likely to be multiples of this given that defense spending, and threat are annual recurring events.

And… I’m not really interested in any of them. Lots and lots of shows (a great many for children, animated, etc.) but I’ve seen the ones I may have had some interest (Star Trek), and offering up old I Love Lucy or Perry Mason for $ seems weak (though I get the nostalgia appeal.)

WBIR-TV, Knoxville (updated with family side of the story November 23, 2022)

Attorney: McAlister’s cashier fired after KCSO said a deputy was refused service

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Update (11/23): The mother of a McAlister’s cashier responded Wednesday to allegations surrounding her 15-year-old daughter, saying her daughter “intended no offense” to a Knox County deputy after department authorities said they were refused service at the independently owned deli on Schaad Road.

In a statement sent by the Held Law Firm in Knoxville, Chanada Robinson said her daughter asked for help from a co-worker because there was a line and she was near the end of her shift.

Robinson called statements from the Knox County Sheriff’s Office “untrue,” saying it has created a dangerous environment for her daughter, McAlister’s co-workers and customers.

Robinson is the mother of Anthony Thompson Jr., the 17-year-old Austin-East High School student who was shot and killed by an officer during a confrontation with the Knoxville Police Department in April 2021 in the school’s bathroom. Robinson’s daughter is Thompson’s sister.

There are a million things we could do to make life better for drug addicts, the poor, sex workers, and other marginalized groups, many of which would be low cost, free, or even SAVE money, and there will still be conservatives arguing against them because they don’t want those people’s lives to get better.

The ground is so dry it was like trying to push a shovel through dry cement. After getting a foot down on two holes, we stopped for the day.

I filled each of the holes with about twenty gallons of hot water in the hopes that will loosen the ground overnight so digging tomorrow won’t be so hard.

A database containing up-to-date mobile phone numbers of nearly 500 million WhatsApp users was leaked and put up for sale, with the dataset allegedly contains WhatsApp user data from 84 countries, Cyber research publication Cybernews revealed on Thursday.

The publication reported that on November 16, an actor posted an ad on a well-known hacking community forum, claiming they were selling a 2022 database of 487 million WhatsApp user mobile numbers.

Threat actor claims there are over 32 million US user records included.

Hoping Michigan can at least keep it close against the Buckeyes. Be cool, Lizards!

La Nina has been persistent for over two years now, going on three years.

The latest effects of Hunga Tonga Hunga Ha’apai volcano might be pushing the La Nina this year but that is sort of speculation. The volcano did blast a lot of water into the stratosphere, which is a warming effect on the stratosphere, but how that plays into ocean currents is not well known.

i have watched dozens of pirate ship / tall ship movies (ok yeah, movies)

at night, there is always someone on deck on ‘watch/guard’ as there should be.

but no one is checking ‘out there’, as if the ship is mostly invulnerable to anyone not already on the ship.

meanwhile another ship has its men in row boats, rowed up to the first ship, snuck up the sides* and the battle ensues…

story after story, they never learned where they should be looking - just over the side

*with the inevitable guys on deck thought they heard something walked over to the rail, didnt see the guy hanging on outside the rail dripping, and so back to what we were doing

On Friday after dark, nine people accidentally got stuck on the famous Brno Christmas attraction, namely the Ferris Wheel, which is always set up on Moravské náměstí in the city center during Advent. The operator of the giant merry-go-round turned off the machine and left. Soon the people in the cabins noticed that there was no one down at the wheel controls and that it was dark. After a quarter of an hour, they called the police, who solved everything.

My sister taught high school math at an inner city school in the mid to late ‘70’s. Many there had similar aspirations and were similarly unsuccessful in both these goals and her classes. But she still reminisces about one of her students who succeeded — Chris Hinton. Besides being talented at football, he was actually good at math and one of the nicest people you would ever meet.

Wow! We both graduated the same year in high schools (mine being in California) of the same class size (350). As near as I can find, my class had lost 51 members at the beginning of 2022.

In 1984 the steel industry died in Western PA. Almost all of the mills closed, thousands of good paying union jobs were gone and what came in to replace them was a lot of narcotics. My home town became a center of meth and crack distribution. Lots of folks died from that. Also add in HIV which devastated the area in the 80s. As folks got older the usual suspects also claimed a lot of lives—heart disease , cancer, diabetes. Covid was just the latest. Sadly when the mills closed Right Wing Jesus moved in and lots of folks there are hard core anti vaxxers.

re: #119 Anymouse 🌹🏡😷

The AS15 missile was intended to attack US naval battlegroups centred around a carrier. It was not a “strategic” missile intended to attack land targets in Europe and the USA but a “tactical” missile to be used against dispersed military forces. It’s not the only air-launched missile the Russians have that was developed to do this job.

The AS15 is old and obsolete and of no use today given the improvements in close-in and point-defence systems deployed by the US Navy. Hypersonic non-nuclear missiles are the replacement carrier-killer weapon systems that Russia and China (and India too) are working on. Might as well load up these obsolete missiles and fire them off at Ukraine rather than scrap them, the Russian thinking goes.

Once the traditional high-paying blue-collar jobs vanished, neither the left nor the right had good solutions to provide for those who were left behind. Not many steel-workers can transform themselves into systems programmers. Often religion is the only societal institution that offers comfort to families forced into destitution. But it is surprising that Oz carried the county — would have thought that they would oppose him because he is Muslim as well as an interloper from another state.

The spiders are small, brown/non-descript in color and on first glance you might well just think it’s an ant. (One trick they play is walking around with their front two legs held in the air to slightly resemble antennae.)

northernwoodlands.org (Has a nice picture of ant and spider side-by-side.)

My sister-in-law noticed them due to studying ant nests and finding them and their little silk tents they make at night on her survey marker flags. From there my brother started simply catching them on his front porch. (Apparently the geologist eye for detail can adapt from rocks to spotting small spider scurrying around.)

My parents have generally been religious, just never nutso about it.

It’s nondenominational, but as younger people aren’t attending like the older generations did, what’s being left is becoming more and more concentrated pro-Trump Christian theocratic types.

My parents’ world has changed over the past 15 years or so since they started attending this one. Two of my kids are gay. Now that my mom has retired from working in jails, she has been able to see more of what is happening to minorities, and George Floyd was a real turning point for both of them. And while they’ve been getting more open minded, the church attendees have been getting more aggressive about pushing right-wing views.

So they have been contemplating leaving the church. But they’re not entirely sure how to proceed. No, they will never become atheists. But they’re not the type to go it alone, and I suspect it’s going to be hard to find a more liberal church here.

My wife and I started digging the holes in the yard to plant our maple trees after the yard was marked off by the 811 folks.

The ground is so dry it was like trying to push a shovel through dry cement. After getting a foot down on two holes, we stopped for the day.

I filled each of the holes with about twenty gallons of hot water in the hopes that will loosen the ground overnight so digging tomorrow won’t be so hard.

Mega church. Went to the site & they have the floor plans. I worked on a new build once & they had a “counting room” that had extra thick walls etc. Very yuck.

Problem is that anyone who replaces Putin is likely to be as bad or worse…

In the near term, whoever replaces Putin will probably want sanctions dropped, so they might act reasonably for a while.

Cheer up, your side’ll probably have plenty of time yet given how they are with stoppage time these days.

Griezmann is off, after a brilliant match, replaces by Fofana.

The Danes have also finally found another not quite white player.

Fuck Qatar. And fuck Saudia Arabia, who make Qatar look nice. But Herve Renard is fucking unbelievable. I can see a Supernatural episode where Sam and Dean have BIG problems with a guy in a white shirt.

I’m just waiting to see what happens on Tuesday with USA vs Iran. To have any hope of moving on they _have_ to win instead of a third draw.

re: #119 Anymouse 🌹🏡😷

Britain’s Ministry of Defence is alleging Russia is removing nuclear warheads from its strategic missiles and launching them weaponless at Ukraine as kinetic weapons. This would show a shortage of missiles in the Russian inventory, as well as being largely ineffective.

(thread, six tweets)

so… what are they doing with the warheads?

The thing that’s a bit cruel about the world cup is how people age.

I remember Didier as a fit young footballer. Now he’s a visibly aging old trainer. Unlike me, still as young as I ever was. (My wife won’t be getting back from work for a couple of hours, so I can still indulge in these fantasies).

I was thinking about that. They might need to have someone to put foundation pillars.

My parents are actually renting the house. Their landlord put one in because her son decided to try to get into the business.

You may actually be right. The Russian Federation sold a lot of weapons-grade uranium to the US in the Megatons to Megawatts program about twenty years ago, reducing their surplus stock of highly-enriched uranium from decommissioned nuclear weapons to virtually zero. A lot of tactical nukes went away on all sides when the Cold War ended — the UK no longer has W79 free-fall battlefield nuclear bombs intended to make the Soviet Third Shock Army glow in the dark around Potsdam, ditto for the US which lost its nuclear ALCM capability around the same time.
