narrative is crumb this changes astonishing turn game changeling
I recently read that R. Crumb illustrated some of Bukowski’s stuff. Now *that’s* worth tracking down.
At the moment I’m slowly, deliciously reading ‘Women’, which is not for those of High Moral Character.poor fucks
Chuck E. Weiss and Tom Waits- Do You Know What I Mean (What I Mean, What I Idi Amin):
https://cinemaphile.com/watch?v=cu-lTPNo2Q4Well suited to these times, though I’d much rather listen to Mahler 6.
I wonder what Flora thinks..Nookyular War would make our supra-national rulers’ lives worse, and that’s what matters (to them).
Unlikely in the extreme.. I expect a continued, slow grinding-down- much like the curious events of the last 2.5
years or so, when our “intelligentsia”- especially on the “left”- suddenly found it difficult to think. 😉A false-flag here or there to keep the proles’ “hair mussed”? yes, count on that, dears..
Denis Shapovalov d. Borna Coric, 7-6 (7-4), 6-0 in the Vienna semifinals. It’s real good to see Shap playing well
again! Nice, very humble move in re-hiring Mikail Youzhny as co-coach. Shap can lay into a topspin backhand
like no other current player except Stan Wawrinka; both are glorious.Shap has to play a Medvedev tomorrow (OMG!!! a Rooskie! careful about getting Rooskie-cooties, Shap!)
who is presently #4 in the world, fifteen places I think above Shap. Medv is 6-6 in height, and I don’t
care for tall players with huge serves.Go, lefty-Shap! Good kid.
Some here say Xi is headed out the door in China. I have not seen evidence or hint that that’s going to happen any time soon. The same source claims we’re on the verge of Nookular War. “Samey-same”, as Joker says to his old USMC boot camp buddy in FMJ..
Show me the part that’s Not Theatre (there is one).
Curious that AFKTT [CIA, MI6, stuff like that] spends all its time here then telling us We’re All Doomed..
funnie ol’ world
Shapovalov plays Coric in the semis in Vienna tomorrow. Go, Shap! Go, leftys! Go, one-handers!
Both are admirable players, though. I am glad Shap rehired Youzhny as co-coach...on the opaque/Darpanet, I mean; determining trustworthiness is not hard in person, over a bit of time.
Below is my trusted sources list on the Darpanet:
Joan Armatrading, Down to Zero, 1976: https://cinemaphile.com/watch?v=7147pAjGbpU
Producer Glyn Johns says ‘Joan Armatrading’ was the best album he was ever associated with.
I think the coming introduction of Central Bank Digital Currencies is the most important and far-reaching thing
happening now:https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2022/09/a-digital-dollar-and-a-digital-euro-are-closer-than-ever-to-becoming-a-reality.htmlDigital Dystopia.. all-seeing surveillance, all the time. Jeremy Bentham would be stoked.
It’s interesting how anything that does not align with the “Woke”/WEF/Open Borders ruling-class paradigm now gets
labeled “right-wing” or “far right-wing” or “white-supremacist”.The recent election results in Sweden are a good example. There will be more, I think.
Those who are left will almost all be farmers, I think. My hope is they will not again be working for “lords”.
Adding: I think the the thriving of the many and the internet are not compatible.
Here are the Kuijken brothers with Robert Kohnen on keyboard playing Corelli op, 5 #3:
:https://cinemaphile.com/watch?v=y3U2kLyncrwI love Sigiswald Kuijken’s expressivness in phrasing, and vibrato. This is one of my favorite recordings.
Mr. Tooze seems in the above article to be working very hard to not see what’s obvious, attempting to convince his readers that his obfuscating views are in fact accurate ones.
I’ll stick with my earlier comment about it virtually all being nonsense-news, these days.Who benefits from nonsense-news?
Ageed. They’re mostly light, the legs do not get in one’s way, the joints have not racked much, and they’re comfortable.
I work by hand for the most part, but am very ready to have a small bandsaw again.
😉This is an interesting blog post from a young Western guy living in Japan who does very nice work:
I haven’t attempted a chair yet- they’re
hard, as he points out. The funny thing is, the two most successful ones I’ve had around- both still in my possession- are also the humblest.
An interestingly oblique lesson, maybe.I think we’re getting saturation bombed
with nonsense-news, and that there is an
end state desired by some entities where no once can ascertain much of anything- (except by getting off off off the screen).The ‘net seems like a very good tool for creating that state.
Is there news that can be taken at face value? I am not seeing any, myself.
Lots of absurdities being pushed, though-
“Zelensky” being a good example.Gennadiy Golovkin and Canelo Alvarez meet for the third time in a prizefight, at 168 pounds this time. Golovkin is eight years older (40), and I’m rooting for him. Go, old guy with the nice jab!
Another good article from CH Smith today, focusing on DIY- ‘The End of Cheap Food’:https://www.oftwominds.com/blogsept22/end-cheap-food9-22.html
working on it..
CH Smith has a good column up- not new ideas, but still-underemphasized ones, I think:

What verifiable facts have good explanatory power?
Don’t read Houellebecq if you’re feeling unsettled, by the way. He makes Gide’s L’Immoraliste seem like a walk in the park.
The evolution question is an interesting one, and I have no solid answer. I did buy a book a few years ago
called ‘Why Evolution is True’, (Coyne, Ithink) and the author’s arguments seem to me like little more than hand-waving: “over millions of years..”, and stuff like that. Fine; but what’s the driving primeval impulse, if any? If there is not one, “millions of years” would in themselves change nothing..A pop-sci book that had some possible explanatory value, at least to me, was Morrison’s ‘The Spirit in the Gene’, which did offer some plausible ideas, right or wrong.
The “novelist” Houellebec’s ‘Elementary Particles’ is I think the most pertinent-to-the-present reading I’m doing, though I can only take a paragraph or two of it at a time.
An interesting article from seven years ago on induced or forced infantilization:
https://boingboing.net/2015/05/21/simon-pegg-discusses-geek-cult.html
Googie’s stuff is a good example. I don’t use it, but I’m sure it uses me (and you).
It’s interesting that the “news” more and more resemble a cross between a TV game show, and a “reality” show.
I wonder why that is? Maybe teevee has changed, though- I haven’t watched it for many years.“Season 2”
A good comment on ‘Mass Formation’ from CJ Hopkins’s website:
[Name redacted]
“This isn’t actually what Desmet and Malone are saying though. I haven’t given the whole “mass formation” thing much attention until now. But I’ve just read Peter Breggin’s analysis after seeing clady’s comment above .
Desmet and Malone are claiming there is no organised maleficence involved in the situation, that the powers that be are as “hypnotised” as the masses. This is ridiculous and lets off the perpetrators. So ridiculous I don’t believe this is an honest mistake on their behalf, they know what they are doing.
On a slightly different but related topic. Is anyone else suspicious of the technical babble around the contents of the “vaccine” – “oh so they thought the spike protein would be disappear from the system around a week after delivery, but new research shows it stays around for months! This is why it causes some issues.” – implying there was good intention but Mistakes Were Made. Also the whole ivermectin “debate”, implying there really is some terrifying plague to be concerned of, it’s just the response has been fluffed somehow.”
Yes, something like that.
This is acceptable upwind form in a Laser, though flatter (hull, not sail) would be better, given the conditions:

Looks like some kind of basin, or possibly a lake. Lots of real good sailors come out of those shifty, land-bound conditions.
