I was chatting up a neighbor who owns the local organic grocery. She has a son in his early teens who, by all accounts, is a bright and creative kid. At school, his class was assigned a project where each student had to put together some sort of display related to historical events. “So he built a guillotine in the basement to show an aspect of the French Revolution, ” she explained. My assumption was that it was a scale model and, given the kid’s reputation, it would be quite detailed and educational.
Bad assumption. “It was full size. And it works. The school was not happy.” So unhappy that he was not allowed to bring it to school to qualify for the assignment. He persisted, and eventually they compromised: he could photograph it. No video of it in action, alas.
An A, of course. Fuck, I need to hang out with this kid. Especially after last night when I discovered while preparing dinner that either WebDom’s or l0b0T’s cats (or both) peed on my herbs, which all had to be tossed. This could have been a useful preventative for any future incidents of this sort.
Anyway, birthdays today include a guy who never let a barrier stop him; a brilliant noir novelist who is likely to be canceled; a guy who always seemed a bit fishy; a guy responsible for more dope being smoked than Jerry Garcia; a pitcher whom I had the pleasure of seeing live only once- and he lost; a piece of shit judge (the name was a clue) who would have fit nicely in the above contraption; a guy who would have made the Supreme Court a much better and more interesting place; a great actor who is a stellar example of the maxim that great actors have empty skulls; and an obscenely talented musician who deserved every bit of fame and fortune she’s achieved.

Re South Carolina: Good old horseshoe theory, the right and the left eventually end up close to one another in belief and methods, they just just want to ban different things. It’ll play mostly well in SC though although it looks terrible in other parts of the country.
It’s just social signalling.
t would also make it illegal to host a website or “[provide] an internet service” with information that is “reasonably likely to be used for an abortion” and directed at pregnant people in the state.
They are going to force ISPs and telcos to block abortion-related content? Good luck with that.
Bills like this are indeed social signalling, and will not stand up to court challenges on 1A grounds should they make it into law. BUT, even attempts to pass such legislation may scare voters into voting Team Blue in the fall. That is where the danger lies.
Amazing how moronic the R’s become with power. And yes, they are just as stupid as the Dems, just banning different things.
That’s not what this is. This is “well now that RvW is gone, like half of my base doesn’t have a reason that they think they have to vote R, so I better keep stirring up a ‘fight'”.
It’s just theater from the kind of R that never actually wanted to “win” on RvW.
The Anti-Abortion people had long been described as the “battered wife constituency” of the Republican Party, in that they kept voting for the Republicans for decades even though the Republicans (mostly) failed to deliver on their issue.
RJ’s explanation is not incompatible with yours – some from Column A, some from Column B.
The media will try to tie every Republican everywhere to it, but have a conniption fit if amy Republican has the intelligence to try to tie every Democrat to Merrick Garland’s comments about parents at school board meetings.
Or tie every Democrat to Horchul and Newsome’s gun bills that flagrantly violate the constitution, as recently outlined by SCOTUS.

So you’re saying there is a chance!?!
Ms. Tuttle is lovely and talented, but I had my ears all set for some singing from the birthday girl. 🙁
So I’ll provide it myself.
First, I think this cover is kinda rare/obscure, as I don’t think it was on any of AK’s own albums, just a soundtrack album from the old TV series Crossing Jordan, of all things. Best cover I’ve ever heard of an always incredible song.
Second, AK’s contribution to the best damn kid’s album ever made. (Check out some of the other tracks in the sidebar!) Written as parent to child, but could be for anyone – say, from you and WebDom to SP or from SP to both of you (and others.)
I’d listen to AK sing the white pages from the Scranton, PA phone book
Well, the video features Jerry Douglas, who is a frequent AK collaborator. So Kevin Bacon Rule.
And Kevin Bacon also appears on that kid’s album! Here you go!
AK and JD you say?
Thanks $1MM for the AK links, GT! That is a great cover of a great song I used to sing before my upper register kicked the bucket, and my kids grew up on Sandra Boynton’s books, as much fun for us to read as it was for them to hear. Great memories.

The first one popped up years ago on a satellite radio channel called The Loft, which specializes in all that mellow acoustic music I love (and repeatedly subject you all to.) I found the second because I’ve been a fan of the songwriter, Sandra Boynton, ever since she was a greeting card artist back in the ’70s and ’80s.
Tower records. At least that’s where people would go to find obscure records when there were record stores. My tastes are mainstream.

Fuck beer gets warm fast when it is hot. Also what is the point of havin an imperial ipa on tap in the summer… I got the least alcoholic one at 4.9 and could have used less
Still around 20% ? Its just warming up here, nearly 80ºF and 77% humidity. Well, relatively.
No one needs more than 30%
Gaia likes her steambaths.
At 8 it was 75% with temps over 80. Did a little work outside, nothing strenuous, and I have already had a gallon of water.
I am having an espresso maybe it helps more in the heat. I now regret my decision to walk 5 kilometers one way and 5 back
Im well-stocked with “hydration replenishment cylinders” and have no intentions of going outside until work tonight. Unless I throw something on the grill.
57* ah out here in the Orygun territory. 79% humidity, but not supposed to rain for a couple hours.
Isn’t that static shock level humidity?
I had no idea of this connection. If I read it in a story, I would think “that’s ridiculous”.

“for the sake of equity”
I can’t roll my eyeballs any further back in my head.
One of the trainings I had to take at work this week told me that I need to “treat people with equity”.
The word has no fucking meaning any more beyond something like “nice”.
Uh, value of real estate?
At first I thought that doesn’t make sense then I realized that they mean “Beat people over the head with equity until they submit.” Just like they do.
No, see, white people have had it to nice, so you have to be mean to them, otherwise how will it be equitable?

“In mid-1979, Krauss’s mother saw a notice for an upcoming fiddle competition at the Champaign County Fair, so she bought a bluegrass fiddle instruction book and the 1977 bluegrass album Duets by violinist Richard Greene.”

The violin has strings. A fiddle has strangs.
Boo
Fun fact: Back in the day, a guy came in to the music store where TT was working and asked for “git-tar wahrs.” TT showed him every electric guitar cable in the store, but the guy kept protesting, “No – git-tar wahrs!” TT finally figured out he was talking about (non-classical) guitar strings, which are, in all fairness to this customer, wire, not string.
I’m pretty sure TT ended up playing in a country band with this guy, and they became great friends.

This whole thing is so squalid.

‘Astronauts have been warned against masturbating in space over fears female astronauts could get impregnated by stray fluids.’
Why not build some sort of suction machine, I assume they already have one for urine?
I had always kind of assumed that female astronauts on active status would have to be on Depo or something, just because of the radiation exposure risk…
They can call it Mega Maid….
Ryan Long was just hawking something that’d be perfect for this.
“This seems like a woman I could have gone for.”
Sorry for your loss.
Why won’t they take us seriously?
Opinion polls suggest that the hearings have not produced the devastating shift in public opinion against Trump that some Democrats hoped for. Nor have they slackened the grip of Trumpism on the Republican party. Even as evidence spilled out that the then-president “commanded an armed mob to overturn the election”, few Republican politicians have turned away from Trump. Those that do pay the price.
Hint- when you persist in making outlandishly false claims like”there was an armed mob” you undermine your own credibility.
And people think you’re stupid, or worse.
“Opinion polls suggest that the hearings have not produced the devastating shift in public opinion against Trump that some Democrats hoped for.”
And that really explains the whole motivation.
Also, can’t see a source for their quote:
“commanded an armed mob to overturn the election”,
They’re quoting someone but doesn’t say who.
I think this sums it up nicely for me.
What kind of world are we living in when twitchy is providing a sensible perspective?
‘This seems like a woman I could have gone for.’

The best lack all conviction.
That raises fears among some Republicans who suspect that while Trump might walk the primaries, particularly if others fear the political cost of running against him, he has already lost once against Biden by a massive 7m votes in the popular ballot. They also fear that the House committee hearings are providing an abundance of material for the Democrats to flood the airwaves with clips showing former Trump loyalists accusing him of leading an attempted coup.
Which has nothing to do with anything.
I.e. swamp creatures.
Yeah, that’ll go over well. 🙄
he has already lost once against Biden by a massive 7m votes in the popular ballot
Yeah, but how many living eligible people voted for him just once?
Biden won CA by 5M and NY by 2M.
Family has Covid again so we had to cancel our weekend plans. Feel relatively fine, but the wife doesn’t want to spread it around. Ironically, she only tested because she wanted to be able to say it’s a minor head cold and not Covid (so as to not need to cancel our plans). Covid’s just endemic now and I imagine there are asymptomatic people with it everywhere one goes.
I waited until 1am with a wounded duck tied to a cinderblock, before calling it a night. The fox never showed, although I’m thinking it might be a bobcat now. I know there’s little love here for laser/light combos, but a Streamlight on the shotgun would sure have come in handy. I put a cheap disposable LED lantern on near the cinderblock and that gave just enough light to see the duck.
“I know there’s little love here for laser/light combos, but a Streamlight on the shotgun would sure have come in handy.”
I don’t have anything against them. A laser on a carry gun is a good idea — most bad shit happens in the dark.

Yesterday at the mini-circus went perfectly. Thousands of hand-carved figurines and spectacles…it was a legit WOW moment to see. It’s insanely impressive. Anyway, I somehow masterfly slipped into the web of Important Folk to Know. Both the curator and archivist for the Miami County Museum. They loved me. Told me about everything, everyone, gossip and locally important stuff.
They invited me to dinner. They, a boyfriend, a 92-year-old local Hungarian who lived in Germany and all over…and the lady who’s father hand-carved the amazing miniature circus figures and spectacles. With them on my side, feeding me info (we’re already doing that and we’re meeting up later to porch-hang (no alky for me) later today),…I am pretty much going to BE the Peru Tribune.
This is all very strange. I hope it lasts.
There’s an article coming out of this. I just have to actually do it. That’s my biggest hurdle in my recovery right now. Hrm. I have a lot of great pics for it, too. Note to self: Goal Set. Accomplish it.
Sorry long OT: It’s all so funny. I’m perfectly getting my start in the “easiest” way possible. Perfectly ON the ladder, but on the proper, lowest rung. Gotta put in my dues.
My life is strange. Things *eventually* end up working out incredibly well. So far, without exception, IMO. (Maybe love opportunities I…sigh. Missed. You know.) But I’m a pinball. I get bounced around pretty violently in my navigation of life. Sometimes by design. Sometimes not. But my inner Bob Ross reminds me that I just have…happy little accidents.
Today the Pinball plans on driving up to see my new clan in Peru. The parade was delayed cuz thunderstorms and I doubt I’ll see it. (Meh.) Ingratiating myself with the tribe is far more important for me professionally and socially. The weather is bad and I am a bit nervous driving in the rain on a highway. I’m (legit, sigh that I have to say it) a good driver. I just don’t have the mental map for anything up there, and I haven’t had my own car to drive in…wow. 15 years? Really?

Two accused drug traffickers busted with 150,000 fentanyl pills during a California traffic stop last month failed to show in court Thursday after being released on cashless bail.
Defendants Jose Zendejas, 25, and Benito Madrigal, 19 — released on their own recognizance less than 24 hours after their arrests with the large stash of illicit drugs — were scheduled to appear for their arraignments at the Tulare County Courthouse in central California on Thursday morning, but both men failed to show.”

Someone thought Eating Raoul was an instructional?
They baffle SCIENCE!
A majority of people in the U.S have had Covid-19 at least once — likely more than 70% of the country, White House Covid-19 Response Coordinator Ashish Jha said on Thursday, citing data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Many have been infected multiple times. In a preprint study looking at 257,000 U.S. veterans who’d contracted Covid at least once, 12% had a reinfection by April and about 1% had been infected three times or more.
This raises an obvious question: What is keeping that shrinking minority of people from getting sick?
Disease experts are homing in on a few predictive factors beyond individual behavior, including genetics, T cell immunity and the effects of inflammatory conditions like allergies and asthma.
But even as experts learn more about the reasons people may be better equipped to avoid Covid, they caution that some of these defenses may not hold up against the latest version of omicron, BA.5, which is remarkably good at spreading and evading vaccine protection.
Some people are just intrinsically more resistant? That can’t be true. This is the worstest most inescapably lethal plague ever. No one escapes.
Don’t know if I’ve had it. I’ve never been tested.
Me neither. Haven’t had a cold in 6 years.
Was tested multiple times for hospital reasons but not since summer ’20.
I think I had it at the end of ’21 but didn’t test.
Oh, I had it 7 months ago and it was the sickest Ive ever been. But since Ive been around CoVID+ individuals (including Jugsy) and havent even caught a runny nose.
Never had a positive test. Of course, I’ve only been tested once, in Mexico, because it was required for re-entry.
Haven’t been sick at all. Its possible, I suppose, that I mistook very mild symptoms for allergies.
Maybe I’ve been “infected” but asymptomatic? Don’t know. Don’t care.
For many, the first explanation that springs to mind when thinking about Covid avoidance is one’s personal level of caution. NYU’s TenOever believes that individual behavior, more than genetics or T cells, is the key factor. He and his family in New York City are among those who’ve never had Covid, which he attributes to precautions like staying home and wearing masks.
“I don’t think for a second that we have anything special in our genetics that makes us resistant,” he said.
It’s now common knowledge that Covid was easier to avoid before omicron, back when a small percentage of infected people were responsible for the majority of the virus’s spread. A 2020 study, for example, found that 10% to 20% of infected people accounted for 80% of transmissions.
It were the masks what saved ’em.
Horseshit.
I doubt this person masked and jabbed any more scrupulously than the average virtue-signalling politician and look where that got many of them.
better wear 3 just to be sure…
I saw some guy today on an empty-ish street 38 C and I was sweating like [insert here] and the guy had a mask.
With no basis whatsoever for this belief.
I can see why somebody who upended their life to comply with the increasingly bizarre mandates would want to rationalize this after the fact.
we now call it NAW corn. Native American Woman
You should call it “Genuine Native American Woman” corn.
