Prime and I had a lovely trip to Cleveland. Other than the game we went there to see. Well, SHE had a fine time at the game. Me… well… Anyway, it had it all, perfect weather, flyovers by a cargo plane (Cleveland doesn’t rate fighter jets), black female singers contorting the national anthem beyond the bounds of good taste and respect, and an abortive drunken fight breaking out in the stands a few rows in front of us. Nephilium egged them on, increasing the enjoyment. “I HEARD HIM CALL YOU A FAGGOT! BE A MAN AND DO SOMETHING!” So her first NFL game was memorable and she’s up for doing it again. So I got that goin’ for me. Which is nice.
Besides travel, there’s birthdays. And today’s include a guy who thought small; a guy who thought blue and blew were the same thing; proof that a straight guy can create a homoerotic icon; an artist whose best work was shut down by the Feds; probably the last NFL player to be named Yelberton; a guy, who despite his name, couldn’t actually play bop; probably the next one to go; a guy whose best acting was the role of Harold Cooper; a piece of shit grifter from my home town; a piece of shit grifter from someplace else; a piece of shit grifter who… well… you know; and somebody who was famous for reasons I can’t quite fathom.
I can barely fathom Links.

Roger Daltrey – Under A Raging Moon
Much better song off that album than “After the Fire”.
Oh yeah. Not a fan of that one, but partly because it was so overplayed.
Not overplayed
Written by Falco.
It took me years to figure out there were 2 versions of that song I had been hearing, the original by Falco and the cover by After the Fire.
“Alles klar, Herr Kaleun ?”
The flyover was a C130J that we both mistook for an A-10. I felt somewhat vindicated when a quick search said that they were frequently mistaken for each other.
Huh. I’ve never seen an A-10 with four propeller engines. or any propeller engines for that matter. But I grew up around planes more than most kids.
I can’t imagine how you could mistake a cargo plane for an A10, which is technically a fighter. I saw more than my fair share of A10s in Tucson (where they had a wing of them stationed, in case the Mexicans decided an armored thrust toward Phoenix was a good idea, I guess). They are very distinctive in the air and about 1/4 the size of an C130.
No political violence comes fro the left at all, no sirree.
Firey sure, but mostly peaceful.
Definitely prefer the smaller airports. I’ll take the airport in Manchester, NH any day over fucking Logan. Austin-Bergstrom is okay, bigger than MHT but not yet godawful.
I flew a tiny prop-plane into Manchester once. That was… interesting. Could practically look into people’s backyards the whole way.
Ha! Depending on the runway you used, you would have flown almost over my parents’ house; they live a couple miles south of the airport.
I disagree on Austin-Bergstrom, they are not run professionally. Only airport I’ve been to where they’ve had flight delays because they’ve run out of fuel. Then there’s the restaurants in the terminals that list food prices, then surcharge for taking a card, but also won’t take cash. That is a problem all over Austin though.
Also, the catalytic converter theft in the parking lots.
Austin is as problem all over Austin.
I’ll take the airport in Manchester, NH any day over fucking Logan.
That’s a low bar.
At WaPo?! No way.
Been there a few times, before they renamed it. And yeah, about as pleasant as an airport gets.

STEVE SMITH BUSY UNTIL MIDTERMS
I find the whole “family forgives the murderer” thing just bizarre. Its a product of the sort of squishy cafeteria Christianity that sucks the spine out of people. Even for Christians, there should be no forgiveness without repentance, and the scumbags they ostentatiously forgive are never repentant.
a kid I grew up with died in a drug deal gone bad, killed by another kid I grew up with. the dead kids parents did everything they could to make sure the murderer was treated fairly and compassionately by the courts, up to and including bringing him care packages in jail.
of course, the mothers first husband wrote the book “I’m OK, Your OK.”
Yeah, not me. I had a second cousin (once removed) in West Virginia who in a drunken rage killed the wrong man. His brother, who was an ornery sort himself who had threatened people with a loaded shotgun, said, ‘I can forgive a lot of things. But I can’t forgive that.”
Me? Wood chipper or forestry mower.

Are you sure this isn’t one of those modern day porn for women stories?
I seriously doubt that’s all it was doing. I have no idea why China should be running a comprehensive program of infiltrating and subverting US institutions (mainly education as far as I can tell), but say “no, those cultural outreach centers will have no involvement in this”.
Also “police stations”.
The one here had terrific meals and events. Thank Buddha that this got shut down!
Did the events involve distribution of little red books? If the “Cultural Centers” are sponsored by the Chinese government, they’re a propaganda front, regardless of how good the cooking is.
You can drop the “If”. They are absolutely, overtly, ChiCom government ops.

I must have missed that episode.
I listened to the Megyn Kelly podcast about the Russell Brand trial. Not only are all the accusers anonymous (which is a presumption of guilt), sounds like the judge has it in for him.
Brand is a piece of shit. That is not and should not be illegal. The particulars of his accusations seem to me more spurious than usual. Allegedly.
T’is a fine autum day by the old lake. The sun is shining the wind is quiet and things are fine. Although i have to admit i bought a wine without propertly reading the label that i would not have bought had i read properly. But overall it was not a bad wine. The tbone steak was subpar though it cost more than a pretty penny and i salted it 24 hours in advance. Such is life.

The demonstrator, Bettina Zourli, is a supporter of Jean-Luc Melenchon’s La France Insoumise (LFI) and uses her Instagram to regularly post about her feminist and pro-Palestine activism.
A graduate of gender studies, she provides sociology workshops at Rennes 2 University in Upper Brittany, according to her LinkedIn profile.”

What the fuck is a nepo baby
Someone who is going to succeed based on who their parents were, not because of any real accomplishment. Especially tiresome when it’s an actor’s kid, because, while I enjoy movies, acting isn’t necessarily any great accomplishment in and of itself.
Shortened from nepotism. “The practice of giving jobs, promotions, or special advantages to family members, regardless of their actual qualifications”

One billionaire businessman says he’s brought jobs to California, but the proposition made him feel “a little bit like I wasn’t wanted”.
Of course you’re wanted. Now pay up. And don’t even think you can escape without paying your fair share.

“Should five percent appear too small, be thankful, I don’t take it all”
And
“Don’t ask me what I want it for, if you don’t want to pay some more”
The state has the largest economy in the country – and boasts the fourth largest global economy, bigger than India and the whole of the UK. And it is home to one of the highest concentrations of billionaires in the globe. But it also has the largest share of homeless people in the nation and one of the highest wealth gaps.

“A new Trump administration rule allows hunters to bait bears on federal lands in Alaska with bacon, doughnuts, meat scraps or other human foods typically used to help kill the trophy animals at close range.
Opponents say the practice will cause bears to be more aggressive around humans, and allege that the rule change is a political gift to largely rightwing trophy hunters. The rule replaces a 2024 Biden administration rule that banned the practice, and environmental groups criticized the move as “indefensible and inexcusable”…..
The move comes after Alaska and federal officials in recent years started allowing sport hunters to hunt big game with controversial practices, like shooting bears from helicopters, shooting swimming caribou from motor boats, killing wolf pups in their dens and using artificial lights to draw bears out of the dens to kill them. The bear baiting is not highly unusual as about a dozen states allow similar practices, but more do not.”
