Tom, Alex, and EM.
Heavy.
Very, very heavy.I was just watching that bandana wearing CIA guy on Tom Bilyeu’s show. He thinks that Venezuela is about China and its presence in the Caribbean.
He basically said your government never tells you what’s really going on, and it has always been so.
To which I say: duh.
If the Venezuela/voting machine thing is real, I’d add that in, because it’s personal to Trump- like Iraq was personal to W.From a commenter on zh, a feel-good story about a raccoon.
The comments are pretty good, too.This is worth looking at when considering Venezuela. It is Elizabeth Nickson’s comments on election theft.
For fans of Luongo and/or Krainer, here is a new video (I am about to watch).
I’m waiting for Luongo, etal to talk about the Lone Ranger’s horse.
and
Japan.Twenty-five is near the end,
And still we are all here.
One more month to round the bend.
And laugh at our past fear.It’s good to hear from you, WES.
It’s a little melancholy to put summer to bed, but I’ve come to like winter more as I’ve gotten older.This is for WES, if you’re out there.
I think that fish inches and snow inches are similar.
What do you think?Why does AI all read the same?
After listening to and reading the hours of AI Spartacus used to drive himself nuts, it all sounds alike.In a world of accelerating AI usage- essay tests, office write-ups, blog comments- AI is turning the world of writing into a PowerPoint-like nightmare. Users ignore the cadence that is so characteristic of AI generated text, not to their own embarrassment, but too often to applause: when commenters, teachers, and bosses praise the clarity of the text, genuine writing is pulled down in the ranks….
See? I can do it without “help”. (But you know it was I who wrote it because I used a regular dash instead of an em dash. ; )
Impunity: that with which James Comey and Letitia James acted.
Impunity: that with which Blondi appointed an illegitimate prosecutor.Maxwell Quest- my husband wants to say “thank-you” for your thoughtful and thought-provoking post (#210648).
He lurks. : )Army men and baby dolls;
Loyal dogs and fickle cats
I shall rule, or I shall nurture-
Boys and girls wear different hats.When women come to love the reins of power,
And men love comfort more than self-control,
The faster humans near the final hour,
Where we are shattered, and bereft of soul.I have gone from believing that governmental charity removes the shame of begging, to despising mandated charity. That’s a hard right, I guess.
I used to figure there would be about a 10% overhead of fraud and grift in such programs, and that legitimate users would eagerly find and bounce the cheats.
Boy, was I wrong.Two hypotheses I’ve been holding back on….
Would “they” resurrect Charlie Kirk and turn him into an “antichrist”? Are dispensationalism and other apocalyptic beliefs that popular?
And-
The Netherlands didn’t do the digital services act until feb 2025. What if RIM headed back to Amsterdam and was detained for comments on his blog? And we are left here to “draw the attention of those who occupy a higher plane?”Speculation fills the void of not knowing what’s up.
A little closure would be nice-
A bit of some assurance.
The void we have does not suffice-
It’s taxing our endurance.Although, not so much, as indicated by the life support we are providing for ourselves.
: )He sits among his things-
The pieces of his past.
They clip his hidden wings
And promises he cast
Among the useless things.Very different.
I like The Optimists, too, Maxwell Quest.
In westerns, the good guy often comes off as pretty bad. He uses trickery and lies; he waits to catch the bad guys in the act (and people die!) and shoots them without trial. But in the end he cleans up the town and they make him the sheriff. He doesn’t make a very good sheriff, though, because he tends to shoot people without a trial.
She sits among her things-
The pieces of her past.
They clip her hidden wings
And promises she cast
Among the useless things.Tell a liar the truth and it will come back to you twisted and and toxic, and you will be cited as the source.
On a (sort of) different topic:
“The largest funder of Al-Shabaab is the Minnesota taxpayer.”
From a commenter over at ZH. Al Shabaab is ISIS.The reply numbers are jumping by large amounts. Chooch’s reply is #209209. John Day’s reply immediately follows and is #209258. I can’t seem to find why wordpress would do this. It is the only thing visible to me that signals that the site “has collapsed”.
Subtracting 197446 (the first reply number of this Oct 14th post) from 209264 (the last reply as I write), gives 11818 replies for that day. The number given is 1818 (accurate, I think).
Debt Rattle has some very dedicated followers.
This is the time of year I would donate to this site. I send it snailmail, so I will write Mr. Jarvis and ask if there is any point in doing so this year. Maybe he’ll offer some info.The Italian Renaissance flourished in an era of the city state. It was a violent, corrupt time.
From the compost pile comes food, fruit, and flowers.While occasional drops show up in earlier days, the first substantial jump happens in 10 october’s post, when 197310 is followed by 197316.
Is everyone else getting extraordinary gaps in the post numbers?
Page 28 starts with 205813 and ends with 207665 (DBS, just before mine will show up).
There are not well over a thousand posts on page 28.So at the intersection today I looked at all the fancy cars and said: what if each of them had the horses instead of the engines?
And we laughed.
It’d be some mighty slow and slippery going…So, if anybody out there has been feeling dopey or grumpy or sleepy these last couple of days, you’re not a disney dwarf- you are being influenced by megadoses of solar energy. That is, if you believe the sun has some sort of influence in your life.
But that would be flaky….My niece showed me a picture tonight of a deer with a fawn from a few days back, living near Minnehaha creek in Minneapolis. What are the chances of survival?
For those who might be interested, there is a utube interview of our host with Michael Dowd from five years ago.
DSA? Any chance it played a role?
Or maybe he just got overwhelmed.
I suppose I could ask Mr. Jarvis, but I am reluctant to do so. I don’t know internet etiquette, but it seems inappropriate to dig further.
I can’t remember what got me here, but I have read every post, every day.
I will miss Dr. D’s optimism most of all.What do I make of such a gift that summons tears and yet uplifts my soul?
It almost brings a moment when I wipe the whole damned world of sin. I think that is its goal.
Aug 2022I normally donate to RIM via Mr Jarvis. Does anyone know if donating through “recedinghorizons” will give wordpress the $ it needs to maintain the site even without its host?
If the money still goes to Ilargi, that’s good, too, but geez, I’m going to miss you guys if and when the lights go out here.
It knows when you are sleeping.
It knows when you’re awake.
It knows if you’ve been bad or good, so be good for goodness sake!
Your smartphone is Santa Claus!I think Raúl would have included this. It’s a video of Musk discussing “Schumer just folded”. It’s thirty minutes.
From zh: “The U.S. Supreme Court on Oct. 31 denied a request from adult entertainment providers to halt a federal appeals court ruling that rejected their challenge to zoning restrictions in New York City.”
denied= negative; halt=negative; rejected=negative; challenge=negative; restrictions= negative
Five negatives= negative. Adult entertainment will be restricted in nyc.
I think I got that right. That is the language of law and politics.
Some can’t follow a double negative- when negatives are stacked like they are in law, it’s downright confounding.“That Guy”
I killed in the markets, I won at the tables, my bets in the gaming pools rock.
I’ve got all the intel, I calculate odds well, I’m smarter than most of the flock.
But the truth is I’m lucky: God loves me so much he
Makes all of my ventures succeed.
Of course, I’ll not mention the losses, the tension-
I’m just a superior breed!
