As an entrepreneur, several challenges and hassles are faced daily in business. The issues of juggling clients, meeting demands and deadlines, coming up with creative ideas, partner management, raising capital, and so on are pretty strenuous.
These can result in developing burnout symptoms. The challenges are more difficult for women and mothers in the entrepreneurial world because of the family responsibilities they saddle at the same time.
Stephanie Caballero-Martin is an outstanding entrepreneur that understands how to juggle the roles of being a mother and running a business simultaneously. The mompreneur runs Tranquil, an online-centered health store that sells products intending to solve women’s health issues like menstrual cramps, back pain, body aches, and other related discomforts that women face.
At the time of commencing her business venture, Stephanie knew that it would come with some challenges and a high level of demand for her time. However, when she considered the options of working in an office environment or setting up her business, she chose the latter because of her passion, and the stress has not deterred her.
“When my family and I decided that we wanted to venture into the world of entrepreneurship, my life took a different meaning. Although being a mompreneur is a blessing, I didn’t think so in the beginning,” Stephanie said.
She further said:
“There were times when I was delusional for thinking that this could even work and wanted to give up. The responsibilities are challenging and tiring sometimes, but I am glad about my decision and would not change it for the world”.
Overcoming Stress and Burnout
Nowadays, it seems impossible to avoid stress and burnout, especially for Stephanie, who simultaneously handles her business activities and family roles. However, she realizes this fact and patterns to overcome the stress that comes with her responsibilities. When asked about how she juggles these duties, Stephanie said:
“There has to be a balance and shared responsibilities when it comes to being a wife, mom, and an entrepreneur. When I find myself getting stressed out, I close the laptop, put down the phone, and have some alone time for my family and meme and my . I use the three simple things, that is, relax, renew and restore. So far, it has helped me over the months”.
Stephanie understands that stress is a part of our daily life. However, she believes that one must decide if what causes the stress is worth worrying about.
According to her:
“Stress is a part of everyone’s life, and you must ask yourself if the reality is worth stressing over. Take breaks when needed because it helps to refocus on the business. I have realized that a lot of things that we stress over are really worth the stress. Sometimes, I take a deep breath, communicate and share my responsibilities. This helps me tremendously”. |
As soon as the official trailer of Varun Dhawan and Anushka Sharma's upcoming film 'Sui Dhaaga: Made in India' was launched, the very next day Anushka became a trending meme sensation all over the internet.
It was the 'NH10' actress character Mamta that created meme content for all the meme maniacs who took one of the emotional scenes of her that went viral and everyone just replaced that particular face with a lot of other things to make it look quirky.
Recently one of Anushka's fan expressed anger by sharing a meme video where Anushka's clapping bit is edited over a Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra video with the bhajan as the background. While co-star Varun re-tweeted that fan's post and wrote, "Memes ki Raani Anushka."

Written and directed by Sharat Katariya and produced by Maneesh Sharma, 'Sui Dhaaga: Made in India' is slated to release on September 28. |

Yes, I agreed with that too. I wasn't even contesting those points. I was
just saying I, as a reader, had to puzzle through them to understand what
was going on. But, ultimately, it does work for me.

Has he? He's learned from watching her with Tien but he's also learned to
differently in his interactions with Ekaterin. There's some nice interplay
with him mom in the beginning. What I'm arguing is that the character of
Nikki, as presented before Tien's death, is not going to have the same
emotional reaction as his mother to his father's death. And that should have
been something that was considered in the text.

But it's over fast. He's calm during that incident. He lets Miles in, no
problem. There's no 'what should I listen to you, you're not my father.'
It's not suppressed, it's just non-existent.

Yeah, but that's maybe how Nikki learned to deal with Tien, not with his
mother. In CC, Nikki gets whiny and unhappy when he can't go play with the
younger Pym. Now part of this is that he's more mellow in the Vorthys
household--but if you're going to argue that Ekaterin has long term issues
due to her exposure with Tien that will take years to work through and that
Nikki is going to react like his mother because of his exposure to his
father in "Komarr," then Nikki also would have long-term issues due to Tien
and wouldn't be so gregarious and well-adjusted in CC.
So either Nikki is more well-adjusted than his mother, so he wouldn't be
surpressing so much in "Komarr" or Nikki is just as badly messed up as his
mother, in which case, he would have more issues in CC.

Right, again I'm not arguing Ekaterin's reaction. Or saying that real life
people can't react like this. But I'm just going with Nikki on the page in
"Komarr" and it doesn't compute for me.
Nikki's nine. He would react much, much differently than a toddler who
needed daycare. Nine-year-olds get death. Toddlers don't.

Well, I also suspect if you haven't lost your parent at nine-years-old, then
it's hard for me to get you to see what I'm talking about. And, yes, child
reactions ARE different than adult reactions.
I think what's coming into play here is that I'm not arguing Ekaterin can't
have this reactior or that reaction or Nikki can't have this reaction or
that reaction because they happen in real life. I'm just saying the
characters, especially Nikki, as presented on the page, are not consistent
You're forgetting that Nikki bonded with Miles over the ship models.
--->Uh, several hours of playing one night does not a best friend for life
make. Maybe if Nikki was a toddler, yes.
Victoria also said:
Children are the ultimate mimics. It's a survival
technique left over from way, way back. Kids also internalize examples and
lessons and don't share their personal views easily.
Kids don't react like an adult would. Most 8-12 year old children in real
life, are cautious around strange new people--especially the ones their
parents/family introduce them to.
--->So which is it that you are saying? That they are mimics or they react
Kids watch how you jump, and then they follow along, even if they don't
understand why you're doing what you do.
--->Nope. Kids have distinct personal reactions to events that will not
always mimic a parent's or each others. I have four kids. Not one of them
would react the same to my death or my husband's death in the same manner. I
agree with your second statement, that kids react differently to adults,
that Nikki is in a different position, he's a different person than Ekaterin
and would react differently.
This is really a writing craft issue to me, rather than a "I think Ekaterin
is awful or that kids can't react like Nikki" issue. The explanation for
Nikki's lack of reaction is not on the page sufficiently for me and it could
I think with a few changes here and there, Nikki's reaction to his father's
death could have been improved and also Ekaterin's concern for his son's
reaction to losing his dad could have been improved. For instance, when
Ekatern's going up to pick up Aunt Vorthys, she think she's glad to be
alone. She thinks Nikki would have liked being on a ship but she needs to be
alone. Which is very valid. But she doesn't think "Gee, I hope Nikki doesn't
have a delayed breakdown concerning his father's death while I'm away for
three days." I'm not talking about the text or altering personality. Just a
few changes here and there would have made a big difference to me.
Being a writing craft geek, I tend to get heavily into this stuff. What I
was hoping was that someone would have an explanation for Nikki or
Ekaterin's behavior extrapolated from what was on the page that would help
me get past the mental block and enjoy "Komarr" and Ekaterin's journey in it
Again, I apologize if I raised anyone's hackles over the issue.
leaving the subject and wondering if anyone's figured out the ranking in the
Imperial Service yet. Because it seems to me Army and Navy ranks are all
mixed together and I can't sort them out......Miles get a promotion to
Captain from Lt. but that's an Army rank, yet he started out as an Ensign,
which is a Navy rank. And there's generals and colonels (Army ranks) and
also commanders and admirals...and I can't sort out which branch of the
service belongs to which ranking. |

Thank you for your prayers for my dear little mother. She was very ill while our family was here. They were a blessing to her but she missed activities she had anticipated sharing with them. She experienced serious side effects from the anti-viral medication prescribed for the Shingles. It was discontinued and we are waiting further testing to determine if it caused any permanent harm.
Soon I will share a bit of the fun we had, and some of the treasures we found while our family was with us. We have a new appreciation for our part of the world. We have seen it through their eyes. And it will never look the same again!

I won the give-away at Melodies and Hymnsongs. Thank you, Cathy. I can't wait to see what arrives at my door soon. There are a couple of blog things I need to catch up on when I return. An award and a Meme tag that are long overdue. It will happen soon.
My dear little mother is struggling with some potentially serious health issues. And she has a severe case of Shingles. We would appreciate prayer for her. She is such a dear.
Until I'm back to share more with you - don't forget to take time to stop and smell the roses. Life is busy. And precious.

After a nice lunch out together we went to a sweet little antiques and collectibles shop in a nearby community. The shop is filled with treasures that would be perfect in my home. It didn't take long to find some wonderful pieces of yellow glass to add to my collection. I found this wonderful bowl that matches the cake plate I shared here.The first thing I saw when I walked through the door was this sweet little candleholder. Unusual. It will grace my table often.I found two Nancy Drew Mysteries to add to my collection. We had a lot of fun together, laughing and talking and savoring each moment. We will always treasure this time together. We are making the most of every moment and we are filling each one with memories. Wonderful memories. For each of us.

I approached the Department of Motor Vehicles building with a bit of apprehension. I took a number and immediately was called to the desk where a very nice young lady assisted me. She checked my documentation - a process with many new requirements in my state - and then proceeded to tell me about the vision test. I mentioned that I was pretty sure that I would need to wear my glasses to drive this time. She suggested that I test first without my glasses and see how I would do. Great idea! Maybe - just maybe - I could get by a bit longer without the dreaded 'Glasses required for driving' designation on my new license.
I stepped up to the little machine, put my forehead against top and began the test. She turned on the light inside the machine. In front of me were several rows of letters, similar to the test at the eye doctor's office. 'Please read the third row down. All the letters from the far left to the far right.' OK. I can do that. No problem. They are big and easy to read. The letters were inside three rectangular boxes across the line. A blank box was at the far right. Strange but there was nothing in it! First box: O Z N V. Second box: P B C M. Third box: H L T G. Done. I did it. Now what? 'Do you see any letters in the fourth box?' 'No. It's empty. Are there supposed to be letters in that box?' 'Let's have you put on your glasses and read that line again.' (Glasses put on.) 'Wow! What do you know! That box is FULL of letters, too.' I knew what that meant. So I read all of the letters in all four boxes. Left to right. A smile on her face as I moved away from the vision test machine told me what I already knew. I HAVE to wear glasses at all times while driving now. Yep, you guessed it. I walked out of there with a new driver's license. But this time it was different than the licenses I've had through the past forty-something years since my first license. I don't know how this happened! It was just yesterday that I took my first driving test, wasn't it? Really? It's been how long? As I drove home I calculated how long before I have to go back for another renewal. I'll be HOW OLD? Seventy. 7 - 0! Like my grandma was not long ago. No, wait! If she were still alive she would be 106. Where did all that time go?
So as I sit here trying to read this screen through these new glasses - I've begun to adjust to the changes that come through the years. Changes from lessons learned. Things like a bit more wisdom. A more comfortable sense of who I am and where I am in life. Now-grown kids who bring such joy to my life. The greatest grandkids a girl could hope for. A sweetheart who has loved me through the decades. And who still loves me just as I am. Glasses and all!

The world seems to be getting smaller all the time! Through the wonderful world of blog I have met such wonderful people. Not only in Oregon or in the United States - but friends from all around the world. Who would have thought that this would happen in our lifetime? I wouldn't have believed it possible when I was young. It amazes me that I can sit in the comfort of my home here in Oregon and communicate with someone a world away!
A few days ago a comment was added to one of my posts - a comment from someone I had not yet 'met'. As I read it I became so excited. Not only was this someone new to add to my list of blog friends, she told me of a dear friend of hers who lives in my area and commented how funny it would be if I knew her friend. I could hardly wait to tell her that I DO know her dear friend! Since Margie in the UK does not have a blog and I do not know how to email her please allow me to 'talk' to her through this post.
Dear Margie - I DO know your friend, Mary, in Oregon City. I first met her when my father was admitted to Hospice shortly before he died five years ago. She came to my parents' home and we immediately loved her. She was so kind and caring, so compassionate and loving. My family mentions her often when we talk about those days. But that's not where it ends. About three years later I took the Hospice Volunteer Training Course in Oregon City. Mary was the group instructor/leaderof that class. I learned to know so much more about her and came to appreciate not only who she is through Hospice but quite a few of her talents and things that touch her heart. Several things came into my life that prevented me from actually working with Mary as a Hospice volunteer but it was such an important part of my life. My heart was there but God took me in another direction. As a chaplain in skilled nursing facilities I often draw on the things I learned from Mary.
Now isn't that amazing? But that's not all. Not only do I know Mary - her husband is in management for the company where my sweetheart works. They know each other and have had a number of conversations through the years. Not long ago my sweetheart went to their home to pick up a piece of equipment that Mary's husband offered to loan him. While picking up or returning that equipment my sweetheart had a wonderful conversation with Mary. Oh, one more thing - Mary and I see each other at our husband's company picnic each year.
I feel honored that you have added my blog to your list of favorites. I hope you will come back and visit often. Please feel free to email me if you would like to. If you ever come to see Mary, please don't forget that I am in the area - just nine miles away from her office. I would LOVE to visit with you face-to-face. In the meantime I hope to hear from you again and I hope that you will be a regular part of this blog community that I have come to know and love.
And a world of fears
There's so much that we share
That it's time we're aware
It's a small world after all.
There is just one moon
And one golden sun
And a smile means Friendship to ev'ryone
Though the mountains divide
And the oceans are wide
It's a small world after all.
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small, small world

One day when my daughter was around two years old - give or take a few months - I put her down for her afternoon nap. My nearly five-year-old son played and entertained himself nearby. All was quiet. Just a few days before I had returned home from my tole painting class with a new treasure-in-progress. A small canvas on which I had painted a bunch of pansies. Several colors. Blue, yellow, red and purple. A new venture for me to paint on canvas. In oil. I planned to frame and display my work when the oil paint was completely dry. I needed to put it in a safe place until it had dried - a place where it would be protected from dust, things that might fall on it and curious little people! The top of the refrigerator seemed to work. All was fine until the day in question. I chose nap and quiet time that day to take the painting down from the refrigerator top to add a few touches of this and that. To finish my precious painting. I was very happy with my work so far. I could visualize the finished project. Framed. Hanging in a special place in my home.
Final touches were added. I was pleased. But, somehow, I was distracted. I left the kitchen. With the painting on the little table where I had been working on it. A short time later I entered the kitchen to find my little daughter, awake from her nap, dressed in just her T-shirt and underwear, standing on a kitchen chair at the table. I couldn't believe what I saw. I was horrified! Her little mouth and face were covered with paint. Oil paint. Blue, yellow, red and purple! When I looked at my what-had-been-beautiful pansy painting I could hardly believe my eyes. All the colors were smeared. Running together with hardly a sign of form or design left. There she stood, so proud of herself. She had decided to taste it!
After getting her cleaned up, followed by a quick call to the pediatrician's office, it appeared that she had not been affected by the paint. I knew what to watch for and how to handle any adverse affects of her tasting party. But that's not the end of the story! The painting? What did I do with the painting? I remembered how my teacher had helped another student correct a major problem during a recent class. I washed the entire canvas with turpentine, removing anything that was not dry. The main form of the pansies was in tact. The next day I sat at the kitchen table again during nap time. Carefully, so carefully, I redid what had been lost. The pansies looked beautiful again. Soon they would be dry, be framed and on display in my home. This time the background was more colorful than before. This time it included slight smudges of all of the colors of the pansies, stems and leaves. Perfect. As if done on purpose. No one would know it wasn't part of the original plan. I put it up on the refrigerator immediately. No chance for a repeat performace. You can be sure it wasn't going to happen again.
What happened to my daughter? Nothing. She was fine. No sign of any problem. I doubt she has ever tried to taste paint again. What happened to my painting? It dried, was framed in a lovely frame and hung with pride in that home and two others where we lived as she grew up. I always loved the way it turned out - the second time. More than the first. Every time I looked at the painting I not only saw the lovely pansies, I saw my sweet little girl from long ago. Never to be quite the same as the day she tasted the pansies. Unfortunately the painting didn't survive the move to this house. It disappeared. But it will always live in our memories. Memories of a lesson learned. The hard way!

We added new cushions and umbrella to the patio set this year and a wonderful outdoor fireplace that delights my heart. I had been looking for just the perfect one. Something that captured my imagination and said, 'That's it!' I found it several weeks ago. Last night my sweetheart set it up and put it in place. Then he lit a fire (on a fairly warm night). We sat back to enjoy. And we did.
The new umbrella came with little lights installed on it. The display model in the store didn't have the lights on but I knew it would be a fun feature.I thought the lights were white. Imagine my surprise when I flipped the little switch and discovered. . . they are blue! Perfect. My color.We added a sweet little candle. . .And sat back to enjoy the night-time quiet just outside the door of our sweet little home. There will be many more evenings spent outside with our lights and candles and fireglow. Some will be shared with family and friends. At times it will be just the two of us. No matter who joins us we know we will relax here often. And enjoy it together. In the glow of light. Night light. |
Idea-Orientated Ontology. Idea-oriented ontology (IOO) is an extension of the metaphysics school of thought commonly known as object-oriented ontology (OOO). Idea-oriented ontology proposes that ideas, idealism and ideology currently dictate the properties of both the human and non-human nature of being and the relationship between the subjective and objective via the shared belief of the inter-subjective. Although ideas have no agency they play a significant evolutionary role in human cognitive perception. Ideas are our shared and sharable tools that allow individuals, groups and our species as a whole, to thrive and survive. In this way "an idea is as real as gravity, a meme is as real as a gene" in that (human) ideas are now capable of dictating and authoring real world phenomenon and events regardless of human observation and over broad spectrums of time that become decoupled from the ideas originally perceived or intended implications.
The biosphere of The Earth is currently living through the idea of human progress rendered through the anthropocentric idea of Homo Sapien as the apex observer and organiser of reality.
To change the ontology of the nature of being Homo Sapiens only need to change the ideas that organise their cognitive perception and modes of thinking. However, the ratchet effect of human progress has dictated that progress should primarily bring about measured impact of human benefit, meaning alternative and alien ideas are most often rejected by inter-subjective beliefs and those who act as the gate keepers for inter-subjective beliefs.
Humanity is merely a series of shared ideas. Human consciousness is orientated towards, and by, ideas. Knowable ontology is only perceivable through the lens of ideas. The end of 'life as we know it' will end with the end of ideas.

I think Dogecoin is quite funny. It brings a smile to my face when I see dead-serious businesses and rich people talk about this meme coin. Anyways, there’s a lot of hype around it these days, so I was thinking: Can Dogecoin reach $10?
Yes, Dogecoin can reach 10 dollars, at least in theory. The price of Dogecoin is largely based on hype and network effect, which by nature is an exponential force far beyond our comprehension. The main problem is the large supply of DOGE, which increases every year. The market capitalization of a theoretical $10 DOGE, with the current supply, is 1.3 Tillion USD.
If you invest in crypto, you might want to join my free newsletter! I broadcast market updates every Sunday, and provide free guides and reviews from time to time. Check it out:
Is It Realistic For Dogecoin To Reach $10?
To figure out how realistic it is that Dogecoin reaches ten bucks we’ll have to do some simple math. Now, don’t freak out, we’ll take it slow!
Important: The price of something tells you little about the worth of something, at least in the crypto market. What you need to check is the “market cap”.
The market cap of a cryptocurrency is the value of all the coins in circulation combined:
Market cap = Circulating supply * price per coin
Let’s calculate Dogecoins market cap if the price per coin was $10:
DOGE Market Cap At $10:
According to CoinMarketCap.com, the circulating supply is 130 Billion DOGE.
Given a price of $10 the market cap is 10 * 130 Billion = 1.3 Trillion USD.
In other words:
If Dogecoin reaches $10, the market cap would reach $1.3 Trillion with its current supply.
At the time of writing, that’s bigger than Bitcoin:
However, it gets even worse…
The Supply Of DOGE Increases Over Time
The circulating supply of DOGE increases by 5 Billion coins every year. The fact that it’s a constant of 5 billion means that inflation goes down over time.
The graph below shows the circulating supply of Dogecoin from 2020 to 2030, together with its inflation rate:
As you can see, the supply increases at a constant rate, but inflation is decreasing every year.
Now, using the chart above, we can calculate the market cap of Dogecoin at $10 bucks depending on when it happens:
|2021||1 300 000 000 000 USD|
|2022||1 350 000 000 000 USD|
|2023||1 400 000 000 000 USD|
|2024||1 450 000 000 000 USD|
|2025||1 500 000 000 000 USD|
|2026||1 550 000 000 000 USD|
|2027||1 600 000 000 000 USD|
|2028||1 650 000 000 000 USD|
|2029||1 700 000 000 000 USD|
|2030||1 750 000 000 000 USD|
A market cap of 1.75 Trillion Dollars for a meme-coin seems too good to be true, right?
Well, it depends on how you look at it:
Dogecoin follows the growth of Bitcoin to some degree. If Bitcoin reaches $1 million, there’s a high chance we’ll see a DOGE well into the “multi-dollar” territory.
Also, remember what’s driving the price of Dogecoin – The network effect:
People don’t buy DOGE because of its awesome fundamentals, or its ability to “change the world”. No… People buy DOGE because it is fun!
It’s sort of like gambling, but with a lot more winners.
However, in this type of gambling, you’re rewarded for inviting more “players”, starting some sort of network effect. It’s almost like a pyramid scheme, only that it really isn’t.
The actual value of the Dogecoin network also increases in tangent with this network effect:
Basically, if more people buy DOGE, more businesses will try to implement DOGE into their services, leading more people to buy Doge, etc.
The great thing about networks is that they are exponential by nature. It grows faster and faster. 2 becomes 4, which becomes 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, etc…
If you don’t think that the network effect grows fast enough, or that exponential growth isn’t enough, think about this:
Let’s pretend it’s possible to fold a piece of A4 paper an unlimited number of times. When you fold it, it gets taller (or thicker). Twice as tall, to be precise.
Now, here’s a question:
How tall do you think the folded paper would be if you folded it 43 times?
Most people guess about 10 inches high.
Well, if you fold a paper 43 times, that paper will reach the moon…
I’m not kidding. If you fold a piece of paper 43 times, the height of that paper will be the same as the distance from the earth to the moon!
Another eye-opening thing about this: If you only fold it 42 times, it will reach halfway to the moon.
In other words: the last fold alone gets you equally as far as the first 42 folds combined.
Now think of this in terms of the network effect on the value of Dogecoin, or other cryptocurrencies for that matter. Still think it’s impossible to reach $10?
Can Ethereum Reach $100K?
Conclusion: Yes, Dogecoin Can Reach $10
Due to the exponential nature of the network effect, which is the main driver of Dogecoins price, it is possible for Dogecoin to reach ten dollars. However, due to the large supply, which is ever-increasing, the market cap would have to grow larger than 1.3 trillion USD. In order for Dogecoin to have the chance to do this, Bitcoin needs to get closer to $1 million per coin, in order for other cryptocurrencies to have room to grow.

Cryptocurrencies are currently experiencing a rise in popularity; last month, Elon Musk, one of the world’s most influential businessmen, began promoting cryptocurrencies on his Twitter account, Apple Pay announced the support of Bitcoin and other selected cryptos on their platforms, and many different businesses started accepting cryptos as a payment method.
Elon Musk is on board
Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, is a long-time supporter of cryptocurrencies and has constantly praised them on his social media accounts. Last week, for the fourth time in recent months, he tweeted about the meme-based cryptocurrency Dogecoin, causing another surge in its prices followed by an eventual downfall, in what is being called around the web “The Musk Effect”.
Musk constantly tweeting about the meme cryptocurrency had already led to an all-time high in February, when Dogecoin prices increased 35% in a 24-hour period following one of his posts. However, he also stated that he opposed high concentration in Dogecoin, tweeting “If major Dogecoin holders sell most of their coins, it will get my full support. Too much concentration is the only real issue, in my opinion”.
Brazil becomes second country in America to approve Bitcoin ETF
Brazil has become the second country in the Americas to approve a bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF), after Canada launched three funds earlier this year. The Brazil Securities and Exchange Commission approved a bitcoin ETF from blockchain investment firm QR Capital, which will trade on the São Paulo-based B3 exchange, under the ticker QBTC11. The ETF listing is expected to take place in June.
The U.S. Securities and Exchanges Commission (SEC) recently acknowledged VanEck’s application to launch a bitcoin ETF, which, if approved, would be the first in the United States.
An exchange-traded fund is a type of investment fund and exchange-traded product very similar to mutual funds. ETFs are traded throughout the day on stock exchanges and may hold several assets such as stocks, bonds, currencies and commodities.
Canadian firms working on sustainable bitcoin mining
Canadian blockchain company Neptune Digital Assets and mining firm Link Global Technologies have signed a letter of intent to co-develop a cryptocurrency mining facility, partially powered by sustainable energy. The partnership was announced last week, with a definitive agreement expected to be signed in April, followed by the immediate start of construction operations, and both firms will split the costs and revenue.
The facility will be built in Alberta, where Link Global operates most of its bitcoin facilities. The site will generate 5-megawatt and will be solar, wind and natural gas powered. The crypto mining industry is under strong criticism for the energy used in the process and its impact on climate change. Cale Moodie, CEO of Neptune Digital Assets stated: “We expect there to be substantial global pressure to develop sustainable bitcoin mining operations around the world.”.
Companies and markets supporting cryptos
Apple Pay, the digital wallet service provided by Apple, recently approved the use of BitPay on its platform. BitPay is a debit card for Bitcoin, Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies. Google Pay and Samsung Pay are also expected to introduce the functionality in the coming weeks.
Apart from that, Google has also announced multiple partnerships with crypto-focused companies, and became an enterprise network validator for Theta, a decentralized video streaming crypto project. More recently, a dedicated crypto tab was added to Google Finance.
In recent years, Microsoft made several moves towards supporting cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies. In 2019, they launched the Identity Overlay Network (ION), the first decentralized infrastructure implementation by a major tech company, and, last year, they filed a patent for a mining system powered by human activity.
Several companies and retailers started accepting cryptocurrencies as payment in recent months. Expedia, an online travel agency and one of the top earning travel companies in the world, began taking Bitcoin as payment via a partnership with Coinbase. Lush, a popular beauty retailer in the UK and US, approved the use of cryptos on their website. And Rakuten, the Japanese e-commerce giant, launched support for payment via bitcoin and other cryptos earlier this month.
One of the markets that recently took up cryptocurrencies is the online gambling industry. Bettors are now using Bitcoin to gamble online with many bookmaking companies and online casinos, as cryptocurrencies deposits are safer, due to its high levels of encryption, and faster.
After investing US$1.5 billion in Bitcoin in February, electric carmaker Tesla disclosed that the company will soon accept Bitcoin as a form of payment for its products, initially on a limited basis.
Tony Hawk’s NFT
Last week, skateboarding legend and entrepreneur Tony Hawk performed the 540 Ollie for the last time in his career. After performing the trick for more than 30 years, Hawk stated “Today I decided to do one more time… and never again.

The feat will be immortalized as a NFT (non-fungible token) and will be sold on the marketplace Ethernity Chain. A portion of the proceeds from the sale will go to charity. |

While many bosses say they're open to ideas and suggestions, what they do when you actually share a great idea with them is another reality entirely. (Ever had a boss nod along excitedly and promise to look into your idea, only for you to realize, months later, that nothing's happened? Exactly.)
So it's your job to convince your boss that what you have in mind is worth their time — and to help them see the idea through.
Without further ado, here are 7 tips for pitching an idea to your boss.
1. Do Your Research
Once that lightbulb above your head dings on, the next step is to research the logistics behind it. What will it take to put this idea into action?
For example, if it involves creating a new product, who might the target audience be? Check to see if someone else has created the item first and, if so, how might you improve it? What is the cost of making the product compared to the potential profit? Researching and answering these questions on your own time will help you present a well-rounded idea.
2. Develop a Presentation
Once you've determined your idea is worth sharing, develop a stellar presentation. This demonstration might involve a three-minute speech outlining the need, cost, and potential success of a new product.
You might prepare a one-page overview or even a demo to help your boss better understand the logistics and how the product might function. Be sure to let your enthusiasm show while developing — and delivering — the presentation. The most persuasive arguments are passionate.
3. Choose the Right Time
Equally crucial is what time you choose to present this idea to your boss. If you catch them at a busy moment, they'll be more likely to either disregard your suggestions, forget about them, or brush you off entirely. Try to schedule your meeting halfway through the week when work is less stressful.
Additionally, your boss is in the best position to listen when they aren't feeling rushed or bogged down with tasks. Be sure to schedule a time to meet in the morning or immediately after lunch.
4. Keep It Simple
The most powerful messages are short and sweet. While you want to come prepared, try not to over-plan. Walking in spouting the specific details of how you might create a new management role will only invite an argument.
Instead, open with a general statement regarding why you think a new position may be necessary. Avoid sounding like the expert as your boss may find this threatening or, worse, pompous. Present your idea as a possible solution and not the be-all end-all.
5. Make It Relevant
Show your boss you have the company's best interests in mind by linking your idea to their goals. For example, if you're pitching a plan to improve your company's customer service, tie your pitch to a company goal. Maybe your boss wants to retain customers or get more specific feedback from clients.
Whatever their goals, linking your idea to company objectives will show you have brand interests in mind. This step can propel your career forward and develop your presence within the company, making you the perfect candidate for raises, promotions, and other career-growth opportunities.
6. Ask for Feedback
Inviting your boss to share their input on your idea is essential if you want to get their buy-in. You want them to know you value their opinion and expertise, and if you're serious about implementing your idea, you need to know how realistic it is! Your boss is a great person to give you this feedback. They'll also be able to provide context and additional information about the company's goals that you may not have.
7. Volunteer to Lead
If your boss decides to run with your idea, be prepared to offer yourself up as a leader. They'll likely be looking for someone to organize and execute the logistical plans, and volunteering to oversee changes and developments will free them up from the responsibility of heading up project themselves. This is often what makes the difference between an idea that never sees the light of a day, and one that is brought to fruition.
More often than not, ideas fail not because the idea itself was bad, but because the people behind them lack the time/resources/dedication to see them through. Don't let that happen to you!
Have a Great Idea? Pitch It to Your Boss!
At the end of the day, the key to success is confidence... if you never propose your idea, it'll never happen. So take that first step and you might just be pleasantly surprised by how well it's received!
As we approach the end of 2019, there's no better time to reflect on the past year and prepare for 2020. This is especially true if you work from home: from tax write-offs to redesigning your home office to maximizing productivity, there's a lot you can do to make 2020 your most efficient year yet.
1) Get Your Finances in Order
The new year is an excellent opportunity to re-evaluate your budget. Take a look at the programs you're subscribing to for your job/business, and assess whether you're getting value from them. (If you're paying 60 dollars a month for web hosting for a blog you never write on, it may be time to ditch it.)
Be sure to review home office tax deduction requirements and budget for any home-office upgrades you'll need in 2020 (like buying that coveted second monitor or a standing desk). And if you're a contractor or freelancer, now is the time to start tallying up your work expenses for tax deductions.
If you didn't keep track of your business expenses this year, now is a great time to set up a spreadsheet to start tracking that information.
2) Evaluate Your Schedule
The flexibility of working from home can be freeing, but it can also make it hard to build an effective routine and maximize your productivity; after all, you don't want to let your work ooze into all hours of the day just because you never formally leave your office.
So take some time to re-plan your day-to-day schedule. If you use Google Calendar or any time tracking apps, take a look at your schedule from the past year to see how you spent most of your time. You can also take some tests to figure out when you work bestyou work best! Then consider blocking your schedule accordingly for 2020.
There is no shortage of hacks, tips and tricks out there that can help you make next year your most productive yet.
3) Optimize Your Office Space
Part of the beauty of working from home is that you have full control over your office space. But if you're not the most organized person in the world, that autonomy can present drawbacks as well.
A new year is a chance to clean up. Clutter can be a productivity killer — if your desk or office is even just a little disorganized, you may benefit massively from a bit of de-cluttering.
And once you've organized your office, you can think about straightening up your work computer. Think of all the emails, important files and useful programs you've accumulated over the past year. A lot of this will be immediately valuable — but some of it, not so much. Take quick stock of what's what. If you've built up a serious email backlog, this may seem like a substantial undertaking. But you don't have to do it all at once.
You can also use the end of the year to assess what your home office is missing and budget for purchases that will take your workspace to the next level. Get inspiration from these home-office design tips, or send this work-from-home holiday gift guide to your loved ones to help them help you!
4) Celebrate Your Victories
The new year is a chance to celebrate. No matter what struggles you've faced over the past year, you've fought battles and gained more experience than you had 365 days ago.
The end of the year is a great time to assess what could have gone better, but be sure to be kind to yourself and take an inventory of your wins as well; make a list of five accomplishments you're proud of and celebrate those victories! Use this energy to get motivated for more victories in 2020.
In 2009, General Motors filed for bankruptcy, marking "the end of an era," according to CNN. The prolific auto manufacturer received $19.4 billion in government bail-out money and, yet, they still had to slash 20,000 jobs from their plants across the U.S.
If there was one group that didn't want to see this happen, it was the United Auto Workers (UAW), GM's unionized workforce.
To help save the company, the Union made a deal with GM. They allowed GM to break union agreements and bring on new employees who would be paid half of what their veteran co-workers earned. These new employees also weren't eligible for the company's once-renowned pension plan. Later, GM brought on a number of temporary workers who received less pay, fewer benefits, and less job security than their unionized counterparts.
This setup certainly helped bring GM back to life — nowadays, the automaker is raking in record earnings. But the workers responsible for this revival feel left behind.
That's why 50,000 of them have gone on strike to demand their share of the profits.
What do they want?
In short, the UAW believes it's unfair that "temporary" and new workers do the same job as their colleagues for much less pay (and worse benefits).
They want to boost pay for entry-level workers, which now sits at less than $20 per hour. The union wants these new staffers to have a chance at reaching peak pay, nearly $30 an hour, by their third or fourth year of employment. Now, it takes about eight years to reach that pay rate.
UAW Vice President Terry Dittes summarized the Union's demands: "We are standing up for fair wages, we are standing up for affordable, quality health care. We are standing up for our share of the profits. We are standing up for job security for our members."
Additionally, union negotiators are seeking improved pensions, the retention of the worker's current healthcare plan which only requires workers to pay 4% of costs (initially, GM wanted to increase the portion of healthcare that workers paid for to 15%), and assurances that four factories slated for closure in Michigan, Ohio, and Maryland would be kept open.
How will they get it?
Without 50,000 people on the job, GM's poised to lose between $50 million and $100 million per day. GM's stock has already taken a hit, too — pre-market trading at the start of the strike showed a 3.6% drop in stock value.
What's GM's side?
Auto sales in the U.S. have taken a downturn after a boom that stretched from 2009 to 2016. That increase in sales marked the longest span of growth for the industry since the Great Depression.
Now, though, people are buying fewer vehicles. And dealers have started ordering fewer vehicles to put on the lot because they're sitting for longer and longer. This lull obviously hurts the automaker — and they want to compensate by cutting costs.
Furthermore, GM has to compete with Toyota, Honda, and other foreign automakers that operate non-union plants in states where the minimum wage is lower (generally $15 to $18 an hour).
GM has also made some counteroffers to the UAW's demands. They have offered to put $7 billion into eight of their plants. They also want to hire 5,400 new staffers. But the UAW doesn't like the automaker's plan for healthcare, nor do they want as many temporary workers on-site as the company said they'd bring in.
The automaker has also promised they'll pay an $8,000 signing bonus to new workers, should the union accept its deal. The four-year contract would also include wage gains and require the same healthcare contributions from employees as they pay now.
What does it say about corporate benefits?
Conditions for GM's temporary workers have been one of the biggest sticking points preventing the two sides from coming to an agreement. (Non-unionized workers cost GM $13 less per hour than those belonging to the union.)
These not-so-temporary temporary workers, as well as the new workers making less than their pre-bankruptcy coworkers bring a couple key issues to the forefront of the strike:
- Workers want equal pay (and benefits) for equal work - This should be obvious. But GM forced employees to work alongside others doing exactly the same job, for more or less money simply due to the time period in which they were hired.
- Benefits should not be confused with perks - Corporate benefits — specifically healthcare and retirement plans — are key issues in the strike, and workers know how much they're worth. They're not after small, "one-off" perks, they want essential benefits like quality health care that can have a tremendous impact on their bottom line and quality of life.
That these workers are willing to risk so much (striking workers received no pay until day 8 of the strike, and their benefits were at risk) in the short-term, to fight for their security in the long-term says a lot about what workers want from their employers.
They don't want an $8,000 signing bonus as much as they want lasting benefits like healthcare. And above all, they want to be paid as much as the person doing the same exact job right next to them.
Sometimes you know you're being harassed. Your boss asks you to perform certain sexual favors in exchange for a promotion — or to avoid a pink slip. Other times, sexual harassment isn't as easy to identify. How do you know if you're a victim, for example, of a hostile work environment?
Identifying sexual harassment begins with your gut instinct that something seems off. Even if you're not the target, addressing workplace problems can improve office relationships by weeding out negative individuals. However, more often, it ends in the victim losing a promising career if she doesn't understand her legal rights. Here's what you need to know about how to prove sexual harassment if you're a victim.
Different Types of Sexual Harassment
Two different types of sexual harassment exist — quid pro quo harassment and a hostile work environment. Quid pro quo harassment translates to "this for that." This occurs when a supervisor or other authority figure demands sexual favors in exchange for positive career advancement or to avoid professional consequences.
This doesn't mean all quid pro quo harassment proves as clear cut as, "sleep with me and you'll get a promotion" or "perform oral sex on me or I'll fire you." Those in managerial positions know such blatant acts can result in disciplinary action and generally choose more subtle approaches.
For example, a friend of mine - a married woman - reported her boss sent her sexually suggestive text messages inquiring if she ever fantasized about the two of them together. When she refused to engage in the conversation, he slashed her salary by a third, claiming budgetary factors indicated a choice between decreased pay or the unemployment line.
Sexual harassment occurs at all levels of an organization and isn't confined to management. Although rare, quid pro quo harassment can occur between co-workers. For example, if a woman confides in a male colleague about her struggles with drug addiction, he may threaten to reveal her condition to the boss if she doesn't perform sexual favors.
Another type of harassment occurs when innuendos, jokes, and even unjust rule enforcement create a hostile work environment. Offensive jokes, physical assaults or threats thereof, insults, put-downs, name-calling, slurs, or offensive pictures and objects that interfere with work performance can all be considered to create a hostile work environment.
To meet the standard, these acts must go beyond being simply annoying or irritating. They must occur on a persistent basis and be pervasive enough that a reasonable person finds them offensive.
A hostile work environment might also be at play when patterns of unwanted attention result in negative action.
For example, if one co-worker asks another out and gets rejected, they may retaliate by spreading sexual rumors about the object of their affection, or retaliating in more subtle but equally professionally damaging ways: refusing to provide the victim with beneficial projects, refusing to assist the victim with otherwise typical work tasks, etc. Many companies prohibit co-workers from dating one another to minimize such incidents.
However, such policies are difficult to enforce pragmatically. Additionally, ongoing gender discrimination leads many male managers to believe women welcome such unwanted advances.
In a hostile work environment, the targeted victim need not file a complaint themselves. Those who witness the harassment occurring can also intervene.
For example, 30 states lack equal protections for sexual orientation or gender identity per statute. This means many lesbians who experience harassment pass on reporting such incidents to HR. They fear retaliatory actions for doing so. Allies of the LGBTQ+ community should report hostile work environments for those who may fear losing their jobs.
How to Identify Sexual Harassment
If you're the target of sexual harassment, chances are, you instinctively feel something is wrong. However, keeping an eye out for certain behaviors in the workplace can help you become a better ally to women and members of the LGBTQ+ community alike.
- Inappropriate touching. Some people are touchier than others. Certain folks like to greet everyone with big hugs and air kisses. However, in a professional setting, respecting individual boundaries is critical. If a particular co-worker or supervisor continues to get touchy even after you've asked them to stop, consult HR for recommendations.
- Jokes of a sexual nature. Is the banter around your office not work-appropriate? If so, this could create a hostile work environment. Jokes regarding other people's physical characteristics are never OK, especially if they center on breasts or genitals.
- Overly intrusive conversations. Asking, "how was your romantic weekend with your new beau," is acceptable. Inquiring about how hot and heavy things got between the sheets is not. In interview situations — including ones for promotions — asking about your plans for getting married or having children is not OK.
- Forwarding inappropriate materials. You may find the joke your friend shared on Facebook hilarious. However, if anything smacks of an off-color hue, take a hard pass on forwarding the meme around the office. If you're shooting naughty boudoir pics on your iPhone, think carefully before texting them. If they accidentally end up in a boss's or co-worker's hands, you could find yourself on the losing end of a harassment suit.
Who to Contact About a Harassment Claim
If you witness sexual harassment in the workplace, who do you report it to? The decision ultimately depends on the size of your organization, your level of trust, and alternate reporting options.
In general, beginning by reporting in-house proves most effective, especially in cases of a hostile work environment. This allows HR representatives to work privately with offending individuals to modify their behavior. Proceeding in this manner can ease interoffice relationships, as the party need not lose their job if they display genuine remorse and a commitment to change.
However, if you work for a small firm, things may be more difficult. There may not be anyone dedicated to processing such claims. In this case, file a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. You must do so before commencing a lawsuit against your employer for damages. The agency will give you a "right to sue" letter to present to attorneys. As many state statute of limitations for sexual harassment run out after only a few months following the last reported incident, filing in a timely manner is critical.
Finally, you'll want to contact a licensed employment attorney. Ultimately, the company you work for is liable for harassment if it knew of the offense and did nothing or little to stop it. That's another reason why reporting to HR first in many cases proves critical.
How to Prove Sexual Harassment Occurred
Many sexual harassment cases boil down to he-said-she-said debates, so documenting the incidents proves critical. When you first suspect harassment, start collecting evidence.
Create a journal indicating the dates, times, and descriptions of harassing incidents. Due to the malleable nature of handwritten documents, keep an electronic record if possible. While rare, if forensic computer scientists need to pinpoint the exact date an event occurred, they can verify it.
If others witness the events, ask them to verify your account. Write down the names of any parties who can confirm when and where specific things occurred.
Save copies of all text messages. For example, you can use apps to transfer text messages and Messenger notifications to your computer for printing. Recording phone calls remains illegal in many cases without notice, but if you can verify you were a party, such evidence may prove admissible.
Finally, document any adverse actions your harasser took against you. Include information such as dates you heard about specific rumors circulating, especially if the offender is a co-worker, not a superior. You may encounter difficulty proving these rumors impacted your ability to get a raise or led to your dismissal. However, the more evidence you amass, the better your chances of receiving financial compensation for injuries suffered.
Stopping Sexual Harassment
While many critics feel we can no more eliminate sexual harassment than we can stop murder, current laws enforce the values we as a society hold dear. By holding harassers liable for their behavior, we can create a more inclusive, positive, and productive workforce. |

ORGANIZATIONS . . .
The school year of l97O opened with
new changes and mounting confusion.
What had been an orderly, systematic insti-
tution had evolved into ,a mass of disorder.
Construction of two new wings and the ex-
pansion of facilities created turmoil in the
halls. As classrooms would be completed,
classes would be moved, which proved to be
a constant source of disconcertion. Also, the
fluster of locker changes, schedule changes,
and the arrival of new teachers added to the
iumble of the school day.
As the year progressed the labyrinth
created began to gradually untangle. A rou-
tine pattern had almost evolved when the
close of the school year brought the return
of discord. The prom brought much antici-
pation and succeeded 'in returning much
confusion. Class socials were planned, as
were the Senior banquet, club socials, elec-
tions of new officers and cheerleader
tryouts. Each of these activities disturbed the
daily routine that had almost become fixed.
As the school year ended, the system had

once again been dismissed. September had
arrived with much confusion, but the end of
the semester had proven to bring peace and
order, but again, the end of the year was re-
turned to jumble. The Freshmen looked back
at the year and saw their revolt, but could
look forward and even half anticipate the
coming year now that they had found out
what high school was like. The Sophomores
looked only forward toward the magazine
sales and that glorious prom. Theiluniors
dreamily awaited that next year when they
would receive their rings and they would
finally be the upperclassmen. And the Sen-
iors, reminiscing over the years, at last real-
ized that it was all over, and it really had not
been so bad after all. But these feelings were
only typical of any four classes at Aldine
during any year. The confusion and the
order rotate and revolve so that the years
become, and always will become - a'

Added to Staff
Mr. J. G. Hailey, a new addition to Aldine Senior
High, served as principal during the 1969-1970
school year. He transferred to Aldine from Hambrick
Junior High, where he had also served as principal.
Besides preparing the curriculum, the class schedule,
and assisting the counselors in proper placement of
students, Mr. Hailey found time from these many
and varied duties to counsel with individual students.
A large amount of his time was spent listening to the
problems and suggestions presented by students. He
attended Stephen F. Austin and Sam Houston State
Teachers College where he received a Master's in
Education and an Administrative Certificate.
Serving as assistant principal again this year was
Mr. Richard Spence, The major part of his day was
spent taking care of discipline problems. Mr. Spence
attended Sam Houston State Teacher's College,
where he received his Master's in Education and a
Bachelor of Science.
To relieve some of the burden of the principal and
assistant principal, an additional assistant principal
was added to Aldine this year. Mr. Allen Lewis was
in charge of the school calendar, of reading the les-
son plans, and of making the morning announce-
ments. ,He attended Hardin-Simmons University
where he received his Bachelor of Arts. Along with
other improvements and additions to Aldine, the
staff of principals, for the first time in Aldine's histo-
ry, was increased.

the sudden increase in enrollment,
the office personnel were kept
busy the year.
Mrs. Huettel, who,is new to Al-
dine High School, served as Mr.

in substitutes for absent teachers.
Mrs. Jo Kimbro and Mrs. Mullen
kept the attendance records and
checked on absent students. Mrs.
Lee, bookkeeper, took care of
money going in or out of the
school. Mrs. Charlotte Bradley,
registrar, posted grades every six
weeks. The school nurse, Mrs. Phyl-
lis Campbell, was there in case a
student became sick during the
day. Mrs. Barbara Seelhorst and
Mr. W. H. Miller, the school coun-
selors, helped the students with
their schedules and problems
throughout their years at high
school. Jobs such as these were
performed through the year in

"Why and How" of Science
Fumes from the chemistry lab, and smells of
dissected animals from biology were alla port of
the science classes this year. Six new teachers
were added to the science department to cover
the broad field of human knowledge concerned
with facts held together by rules and principles.
Physical science, required by freshmen, is con'
cerned mainly with the nature of the universe. For
sophomores, biology involved the study of living
organisms and their activities. To further their
knowledge, juniors and seniors were offered
chemistry and physics. Performing experiments,
students tried to explain "why and how" chemi-
cal reactions take place. Students taking physics
were concerned with matter and energy.
The Math and Science Club also sponsored the
science department. They go on various field trips
during the year.

To Develop Interest and Talent
This year at Aldine, the band and choir were off to a new
start with two new directors. "Perhaps we will build a com-
pletely new organization," stated the choir teacher, Mrs.
The choir was active in participating in special programs
and activities not only at Aldine, but at many other places in
Houston. Besides performing in front of the student body, a
night concert was given for the benefit of the parents and
other interested listeners.
The Aldine band was also active in school functions
throughout the year. During the T969-l97O year the band
was led by Mr. Moreau and his assistant, Mr. Atkins. The band
not only performed at annual concerts, but presented march-
ing routines at halftime of every football game. The band
also performed at each pep rally, and many students felt that
the band helped to boost the spirit through the year.
Many students of the band and the choir felt that both
classes had undergone changes for the better. Perhaps all of
the practice and hard work will someday prove to be worth
the effort that the students have put forth through the year.

AHS provided many opportunities for
students seeking business iobs by teaching
basic skills in various business courses. These
courses consisted ot general business, book-
keeping, shorthand, typing, business Eng-
lish, and vocational office education.
ln these courses developing the basic skill
was most important and through that, skill,
speed and accuracy developed. Students
taking typing and shorthand competed in
the Interscholastic League. Typing students
were given timed writings and graded on
speed and accuracy. Those in shorthand
took tive minute dictations of 80 words a
minute and were graded on the transcrip-
tions. The winners in the competition repre-
sented Aldine in the Interscholastic League.

year girls also learned the professional
ethics of Cosmetology. At the end of the
year these girls had enough skill and
knowledge to deal with the public.
The second year girls Continued their
basic skills and strived for a profession-
al touch. These girls applied their style

thing tried in art. Students got to try their hand at fashion
designing and at anatomy.

.. X.-.. Us...
The Journalism Department at Al-
dine consists of a yearbook class, one
journalism class, and the newspaper
staff. All classes worked year around to
give students the benefit of a newspa-
per and yearbook.
The journalism class wrote stories for
the MUSTANG, and interviewed teach-
ers and students. They sold ads to help
support the paper, and when an issue
ofthe MUSTANG came out, they were
there to sell it to the students and teach-
ers at Aldine. This class offered students
who wished to develop their talents a
chance to express themselves.
Members of the MUSTANG staff,
who made up the copy of the newspa-
per, also worked very hard. They also
wrote stories which appeared in the
Yearbook members also sold ads and
made interviews. The class went to Tay-
lor Publishing Company to learn how
the ROUNDUP was published. A record
number of yearbooks, 93l, were sold,
and the yearbook students worked
constantly in order to put out the best

"Of course, it is easy for the graduating students of
this class to acquire iobs in air conditioning and refriger-
ation, but they are also qualified to go directly into Sta-
tionary Engineering," stated Mr. Simmang, who taught
These two courses, each of which consisted of three
hours, were broken up into two sessions. Theory con-
sumed the tirst hour and actual work on the theory
learned covered the remaining two hours. Impaired
equipment was donated to these students who then re-
paired and resold the working material.
"The classes work under an informal atmosphere, but
with the leadership of Mr. Simmang the work is always
accomplished," stated Alan Brannon, first year student.

Mr. Ray Pearson
Auto Mechanics, a vocational
course, is taught to iunior and sen-
ior students who are interested in
the automotive field. The daily
three hour class is divided into
theory and actual working experi-
ence on old automobiles donated
by friends, family, and members of
the faculty. The activities of the
year included field trips to places
such as Mort Hall Ford, and also
participating in District and State
VICA meets. At the end of the two
year course, the young men had
studied all phases and parts of the
automobile and received a Voca-
tional Certificate from the Texas

All fifteen of Aldine's English teachers attempted
to teach the students at Aldine something of the fas-
cinating characters in our literature. The freshman
classes studied Great Expectations, which was writ-
ten by Charles Dickens. These students shall always
remember their first encounter with Pip and Miss Ha-
visham. Aldine's sophomore class met Silas Marner,
the miser who found happiness without money. The
juniors had a somewhat varied selection of novels.
While some students were reading The Scarlet Letter
and The Crucible, others were reading The Pearl.
Thus, the students ended a year with a bit of knowl-
edge of literature.
In Senior English, composition is stressed more
than literature to prepare students for college.
Humanities is offered to the students who wish to
study literature more seriously. These students at-
tended the Alley Theatre every month to see such
plays as The Rose Tattoo and The Andersonville
Trials. Journalism, Communicative English, or Busi-
ness English is offered if Senior English is not pre-

Animal Farm Highlights Vocational
This year at AHS the Vocational Agricultural classes
raised their animals as exhibits for the annual Ag. show
at a new' permanent location. Mr. David R. Schoene-
mann donated an area of land located on Aldine West-
field and Sandydale Road, as an animal farm for the
boys to take care of their stock that was to be entered in
the annual project show in April.
Classes were taught by Mr. Joe Woodland and Mr.
David McCullough. Some ofthe procedures taught in the
classes concerned the preparations of meats, care of ani-
mals, soil care, and the knowledge of machinery used in
everyday, outdoor living. Also, during the year the agri-
cultural classes were responsible for the building of the
annual bonfire as a part of homecoming celebrations.

Industrial Arts Advance New Skills
Above: In woodshop Joey Starvaggi makes a candle holder on the wood-lathe.
Scotty Bell prepares a layout in vocational drafting.
Drafting and woodshop, the two lndus-
trial Arts classes, taught students basic skills
needed in future iobs of engineering, draft-
ing, and construction..Accuracy, neatness,
and safety were stressed in both courses.
In drafting, students were taught skills in
technical and architectural drafting. Work
in the class consisted of learning new tech-
niques and drawing different architectural
plans. Outside of the class, the architectural
drafting class went to Astro Hall to see the
home builders show. Also, along with the
Woodshop classes, the drafting classes
watched the construction of the new addi-
tion at A.H.S. Ideas were expressed by the
use of lines, signs, and symbols. Technical
drafting taught students the basic funda-
mentals of drafting. Those who wished to
continue drafting were able to get summer
jobs on drafting proiects.
Woodshop trained students in the build-
ing and construction of wooden proiects.
Instructions in the use of tools and machin-
ery emphasized safety. Skills were devel-
oped through home proiects. This course
not only gave students a chance to help
with house repairs, but also provided them
with a hobby.
These constructive courses, which made
up the Industrial Arts Department, prepared
Aldine boys for future iobs in industry.

The Techniques of Selling
Distributive Education helped many students in-
terested in the techniques of selling to learn about re-
tailing and wholesaling. Not only did these students
learn about merchandising, marketing and advertis-
ing, but also about human relations. This vocational
program gave each student a chance to develop
leadership and responsibility. Working in the school
store was one ot the various ways to learn about
working with others. ln Distributive Education each
student was placed in a place ot business which
would prepare,them tor their future lite.

September Qpens Halls ol
September opened the halls of Aldine once again
this year with a record enrollment of l700. To help
accommodate these new students, temporary build-
ings were put up until a new wing could be built and
a new snack bar ahd student lounge was added to
Class meetings were held and officers were elect-
ed. The seniors received their rings, and the annual
Howdy Dance, featuring the Ninth Street Bridge,
was sponsored by the Aldine High School Student
Congress. Friends got together once again, and the
new students became acquainted with the old.
Pep rallies, football games, and the selling ofthe
ROUNDUP brought about the enthusiasm needed to
start a new year at AHS.
The junior class sold magazine subscriptions in
order to earn money for the Junior-Senior prom to
be held in May. Prizes were awarded to the top
salesmen, and everyone who sold ten dollars worth,
received an Aldine pennant.
September closed with the spirit ot another year
off to a great start.

Dctober Was Marked by Spirit
Filled with signs of spirit, the month of
October was full of activities. Centered
around football season, the team had the
support of the student body. The students
and the faculty expressed their spirit by
their good attendance at football games.
The month was highlighted by Spirit
Week. This included a night pep rally be-
fore the MacArthur game. Spirit chants
could be held in the halls of Aldine through-
out the week. Aldine's traditional blue and
white was worn often by the students and
faculty. Competition between homerooms
was displayed by the door decorations of
spirit. Spirit week was ended by the judges

ers and the band, many spectators yelled and
cheered for the "Mighty Mustangs." Football season
came to a victorious close with the second place title
in District l5AAAA. Basketball season then got off to

ter, Sam Houston's quarterback Robert Armstrong found split

i Aldine Wins Its 1 t State Title!
lilly McElroy "talks" to the North Shore Mustangs.
Paul Miller beats out an infield hit.
With a 7-O district record and the l 5AAAA
district championship behind them, the scrap-
py, determined Mustangs went on to win the
i970 Class AAAA Baseball State Champion-
ship, the first in Aldine's history. The curve-
balling Glenn Bryant and Stan Stockley
teamed up at Austin to pitch a no-hitter at
Bellaire, only the seventh in state meet histo-
ry. Phillip Terrell led the 4-O Aldine shutout
with a perfect three-for-three night against
Bellaire, including a run-scoring double.
After winning district, Aldine started off
right towards eventual state championship by
beating Spring Branch in both bi-district
games, 8-O and 3-2. In the first game James
Bates and Edwin Dewberry had three hits
with the entire team collecting ll hits. Aldine
won the second game at the bottom of the
seventh inning when Leonard Truett hit a per-
fect "suicide" bunt to get Larry Reneau home
from third base. With the win of bi-district,
the Mustangs went on to the regional play-
offs against Waco-Richfield.
ln the first game against Waco, Aldine
won 7-2 with the pitching of Glenn Bryant
who struck out i2 and tossed a three-hitter.
Richfields Rams won the second game 4-O
with three Aldine errors aiding the win. The
Mustangs had to win the third game and did
3-2. ln the first inning Aldine tallied three un-
earned runs and at the bottom ofthe seventh
Waco scored twice on two Aldine errors.
Paul Miller scored first from third base when
Bryant got to first on Waco's second error.
Waco's third error put Phil Terrell aboard
and moved Bryant to second. Billy McElroy
singled down the third base line, scoring Bry-
ant, and Larry Reneau singled home Terrell
with a shot up the middle. Bryant went the
distance striking out nine and walking seven,
forthe victory which advanced Aldine to the
Region II final against Fort Worth Wyatt.
The Mustangs scored four times in the lOth
inning to defeat Fort Worth Wyatt 9-5 in the
first game of the regional playoffs at Fort
Worth. Bryant walked nine and struck out l3.
Aldine scored a run in the third on a single by
James Bates, an error, a bunt single by Bryant
and McElray's squeeze bunt. They added
four in the fifth on singles by Miller, Bates
and Ed Dewberry and three errors by the
Wyatt catcher, A four-run rally on singles by
Miller, Bates, Bryant and Dewberry, and a
two-run error by Fort Worths left fielder won
it for Aldine in the lOth inning.
Aldine won the Regional ll baseball cham-
pionship by beating Fort Worth in the second
game 4-3, and for the first time in Aldines
history the school made a trip to the Universi-
ty lnterscholastic League Baseball State
Championship Tournament in Austin.
Down l-O in the Wyatt game, Aldine
struck for three runs in the fourth on a two-
run triple by Terrell and a run scoring single
by Bryant. Fort Worth tied it in the sixth and
in the bottom of the ninth, two inning over
the limit, the Wyatt pitcher walked the bases
full of Mustangs and with two out, Bryant de-
livered a clutch hit down the third base line.
This scored Roger Lane from third and was
the tie-breaking run which won the regional
baseball championship for the Mustangs.
With the regional championship over, Al-
dine went to the state play-off in Austin,
Thursday night, June llth and beat Lubbock
Monterey 2-O. The Mustangs bunched all of
their hits, three in the founh inning for both
runs. Miller started it by reaching first on an
error. he took second on an infield single by
Bates. A bunt single by Terrill loaded the
bases. On an attempted squeeze by Bryant,
Miller broke for home. Bryant missed getting
the bunt down and Miller was hung up. The
Lubbock catcher threw back to third and Mil-
ler headed for home. The return throw hit
Miller in the back as he slid home with the
first run. While all that was going on Bates
scored on a wild pitch by the Monterey pitch-
er. Bryant, up to lfi-l, turned to his curve
when the going got rough. He walked nine
and had eleven strike-outs.
The following night, June l Qth, Aldine met
Bellaire, won the state championship game
and made history, for never in U.l.L. history
has two Houston based schoolboy teams
played against each other for the state cham-
pionship in the state tournament,
Glenn Bryant, in the three innings against
Bellaire, walked five and struck out tive, but
in the fourth inning, with his arm in great
pain from having pitched the entire game
against Lubbock the night before, he was re-
lieved by Shockley, Aldines first run came in
the first when Miller reached first on an error,
went to second on a wild pitch and scored
when Bellaire's right fielder booted Terrell's
single. ln the third inning, Bates was safe on a
Card error, stole second and scored on Ter-
rell's double deep in the left-center alley. The
Mustangs won the game in the fourth with
two runs, all coming after two outs. ln-field
singles by Reneau, Shockley, and Truett, plus
two wild pitches by Bellaire pitcher Jim Miller
and a Card boot, got the runs. Reneau scored
after card catcher Marc Mullins dropped the
ball after a tag at home and Lane, in for
Shockley, scored on a wild pitch by Card

This year the Student Council changed their name to
the Student Congress. The officers Bill Cochran, Cathy
Spivey, Carolyn Byrd, Roger Lane, Liz Spivey and Sam
Elliott began their iob in a summer workshop. They
changed the constitution to form a Student Congress.
This included a Student Senate being represented by the
president ot each organization. The House of Represen-
tatives included a certain percentage ot students from
each class. These two groups ot people combined,
formed the Congress.
Many activities were carried on by the Student Con-
gress. They began the year by having a Spirit Week be-
fore the big game with the MacArthur Generals. Another
activity was the sale of parking stickers for the students to
park in the school parking lot. The Congress also par-
ticipated in a March of Dimes fund raising program
sponsored by the city of Houston. Another activity was
the collection taken up tor the V. A. Cemetery Carillon
bells. These activities kept the congress occupied for the
The congress wasn't all work and no play though, for
they sponsored three dances. First, the Howdy Dance.
This dance was a salute and 'iget together" tor all new
students. Next, was the Christmas Dance which was a
formal dance with a live band. The last dance was the
Sadie Hawkins Day Dance. This dance was full ot many
activities. The NHS sold and auctioned ott lunches, the
students danced in the cafeteria, and booths were set up
for the students.

Honor Society Celebrate'
T970 marked the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Wil-
lie B. Ermel Chapter of the National Honor Society. Serv-
ing as officers for the new year were Bob Bostwick, presi-
dent, Theresa Brown, vice-president, Vicki Reynolds, sec-
retary, and Libby Burtn'er, reporter.
The Honor Society did much throughout the year to
serve the school and the community. A Welcome Party
was held to welcome all students new to the district.
bumper stickers and mustang decals were sold to raise
money for the scholarship given away each year. Profit
from the sale of student directories also went toward the
scholarship fund. A series of three bake sales were held
by the Honor Society, also. The money received from
these was donated to the National Education Television
station. An added project by the society this year was the
sponsoring of a box supper on April lO.
Due to the fact that Aldine's Honor Society had been
established for twenty-five years, the annual Birthday
Party was a main event on the chapters calendar. Mrs.
W. B. Ermel, founder of Aldine's chapter, was honored
and Bob Bostwick, Roger Lane, Lola McDonald, and
Terry Laird provided the entertainment. Refreshments
were served to former members by the present members.
The Honor Society served the student body in many
ways throughout the year.

The Aldine Vaqueras of I969-l97O, under the
direction of Mrs. Lynda Drewes, began a year of
many activities by attending camp at Stephen F. Aus-
tin State University. Then by practicing for two and
one-half weeks during the summer they learned
many dancing and marching routines. All of this was
in preparation for football season, when the group
marched with the Mustang band and also did dance
routines. Immediately following football season the
girls began performances at the home basketball
games, one of which was a novelty Indian dance
performed in costume.
Some of the other activities included ushering at
the Ice Capades. A banquet was held to reveal the
officers for the coming year. Also, senior awards
and trophies were given. After a year of activities,
the Vaqueras felt a part of Aldine by their real par-
ticipation in school functions.
After forming the "H" of the traditional "AHS," the Vaqueras
march off the football field to the bands drum roll.

better library workmanship. The most important
of the meetings were those held at Clear Creek,
Lincoln High School, and St. Pius.
Among the many tasks assigned to the assist-
ants was decorating the library to create a dra-

A popular question among stu-
dents is, How can I get involved?
According to the T969-70 FHA'ers,
the answer is simple: .loin the Fu-
ture Homemakers ot America.
Through moneymaking activi-
ties such as bake sales, spirit ribbon
sales, and candy sales, the Future
Homemakers were able to pur-
chase equipment tor the home-
making department and furnish-
ings for the living room.
Social activities were a promi-
nent part of the club's year. These
activities included, the Fall Fantasy
Ball, visits to a nursing home, an
all-girl social, the spring style
show, teas, and many others. The
highlight of the year was National
FHA Week. There was a special ac-
tivity tor each day during the week
of April 4-l l. Patriotism Day,
Teacher Appreciation Day, and
Color Day are examples ot some ot
those events. Because of the inter-
est in pollution, FHA held a clean-
up week toward the end at the
l97O school year.
All these proiects add up to in-
volvement with school lite and oth-

MacArthur yearbook staff made the tour with them.
The staff arrived in Dallas around lO:OO on a school
bus and toured the plant around ll:OO, learning a
few of the steps involved in publishing a yearbook.
This year the staff decided to stay overnight at the
Arlington Motor lnn. After the tour, everyone was
glad to get to the motel and freshen up for fun at Six
Flags. Later that night everyone had their own plans
for fun at the motel. Some walked "about ten miles"
to a nearby grocery store for some goodies. Others
went to the show, and some found fun at a fruit
store. Also some found fun in the motel pool or just
sitting around their rooms.
Sunday morning was the time to leave for home.

cards, but it seemed to have been fun for all.

Blurb on the Blog Front
Things have been hectic in my family’s life these past couple weeks. We took off for our holiday Thanksgiving jaunt up north to visit family and with a five-year-old—well, it makes travel interesting. I never realized how often one person could ask: are we there, yet? Yeah. It starts off as: are we there yet? But, about an hour ½ on the interstate, that snarky pause slides in warranting the comma. Three hours into the drive and I was starting to turn into the Chris Farley meme “FOR THE LOVE OF…” I love my kid, though. He usually tuckers out around the 6 ½ hour mark, which gives me and my wife about thirty minutes to get our minds right before we arrive at our destination.
Speaking of traveling, we are pushing toward Christmas when we celebrate our Savior’s birth, which we all know had a bit of travel involved in it. It’s funny, my wife and I are doing this Precepts Ministries study on the Book of Luke, which kicked off the week before December 1st. The first week we are reading Luke chapter one and there’s all the traveling in there by Mary and such. It’s got me to wondering when Jesus was twelve, we know they headed to Jerusalem for the Feast because they left Him there. —Ha-ha. “Honey, we have lost God…” Can you imagine that conversation? —
But, I wonder what Jesus was like on the road as a kid? Did He wait until the last minute to let anyone know He had to go to the bathroom? Yelling from the back of the wagon that He had to go right then, while Joseph tried to maneuver the donkey off to the side of the road? Did they threaten to hand Him a clay jar? He was 100% human and 100% God. So, I guess anything is possible.
I hope you can appreciate the humor of this blog post and are not offended by thinking I am treating this subject with levity. The holidays are hard for a lot of people even when it is supposed to be a time of peace, goodwill, and joy. My hope is for us to consider the humanness of God while He was here and understand that He endured all that we endure. I wonder if He ever got depressed while on earth. I mean, think about it, He was God, He had been since before anything was created, before time even, and He was on earth where nothing was as He desired it to be. Mocked. Ridiculed. Beaten. How much did that hurt Him? His heart?
Further, consider His creation physically spit in His face and condemned Him? His friends were betraying Him and denying they even knew who He was? The people that were supposed to be teaching and guiding those He loved were talking trash behind His back about Him, were plotting on Him and were just waiting to hurt Him. We all have the same Bible. What did He do or say to warrant any of that? How many people walked by Him smirking, “Messiah…” or heard Him teach and then mocked Him for being an uneducated carpenter? How many times did He read from the Scripture in the temple and have those that led the synagogues ridicule Him because He was a nobody from Nazareth? How many of the Pharisees looked at Him and scoffed as He started His ministry and said, “You know nothing, I have been doing this for thirty years!”
It makes you think. He suffered a lot! And for us! So, I am sure that He had some funny moments as a kid. I am sure that Mary and Joseph would have had some tales to tell. But, as we move closer to Christmas, as these holiday days bring up and out all that they tend to do both good and bad, remember this: God loves you. He is there for you. He sees you exactly where you are. He knows what you have suffered, and He wants you to keep on pushing through. Even when you don’t know how to push through whatever you have going on, rely on Him because in His strength we can endure anything. Even when things feel bleak, and hope seems lost, remember that He understands, and His nail-scarred hand is stretched out to lift you back up and help you through it!
Until Next Time |
Unless you have carefully curated your feeds and friends lists, your participation on Social Media has probably exposed you to more mental pathogens than you know. The blatantly idiotic, migraine-inducing stuff these days is fairly easy to spot and avoid. But some idiocy is of the insidious variety: hard to spot at a glance, and sometimes dressed up in shiny platitudes and candy coating.
This describes just about everything posted by David “Avocado” Wolfe: nine times out of ten, the things he posts—for the ultimate purpose of establishing his own credentials to spread even more of his bullshit— are innocuous if a bit vapid, and easy to agree with. For example:
Again, Wolfe shares these processed, pre-chewed nuggets of dubious wisdom that are only a stencil and paintbrush away from being on the wall of some divorcee’s McMansion, to spread the reach of his influence. This really shouldn’t need to be explained to anyone with half a brain, except for the fact that this asshole’s got 10,621,865 goddamn subscribers on Facebook alone.
So let’s help fix this problem, shall we? Since this sack of garbage and cacao nibs likes sharing memes so much, let’s post memes with the shit he actually says.
Gravity is a Conspiracy
What does Avocado-for-brains have to say?
“Gravity is not intrinsic to matter. That Carl Sagan idea that was sold to us on Cosmos on PBS, was sold to us deliberately to actually confuse us just so you know that. There’s people who have known that gravity is a force that can be displaced. There’s people that have known that since the 50s or even earlier than that. But by screwing up, confusing our mind about things, and giving us incorrect theories we were brain washed into a totally different belief system. That gravity is intrinsic to all matter, we’re fighting gravity, we have to push our way through gravity to launch a craft up into outer space, all this nonsense.”
Yes, PBS and Carl Sagan are conspiring to literally keep you down. On Earth. Instead of floating into space.
Solar Panels “Drain the Sun”
We’ll just quote his memes into a meme. Pimp My Car references are still funny, right?
The Earth Is Flat
Of course he believes this.
Of course he does.
Deer Antlers Are Cosmic and “Levitational”
This makes us “punchinal” and “chokeabitchical”:
“Dear [sic] antler is not a product. It’s a cosmic substance. And it’s an androgenic substance, by the way—very androgenic. And it needs to be taken with respect and understanding, which is why we’ve been getting into this whole thing about estrogenic forces and then androgenic forces. You gotta know that deer antler is an androgenic force. And why? Because it’s cosmic in nature. It’s elevating. It’s levitational in nature. Which actually makes you younger. The forces of levity make you younger. Rudolf Steiner said that we gradually age due to substances in our body that are seized by the earth’s gravity. He could have said anything. He could have said anything at all, but he said that. That’s amazing. Then he said that you want to use the force of levity to drive the force of levity into your body. Then he talks about silica, that silica can be made to be levitational again.”
Chocolate is an Octave of Energy
You know what, we don’t even care any more.
Fuck it. Here’s someone else’s meme:
Now that we’re thoroughly depressed/angry… deprangry, we’re just going to leave you with the following thoughts:
Sure, David Wolfe is a colossal asshole. For his own notoriety and validation he will sell you on some bullshit raw food nonsense rather than having you seek out actual dietitians, medicine, and medical professionals to address your health concerns. But who’s the bigger asshole: the one who takes the shit, or the one who takes someone else’s shit and smears it all over their own wall?
Do the world a favor and de-friend anyone who follows David Wolfe. Or at the very least, use one of these semi-carefully crafted memes to shame them into not smearing Wolfe shit in the first place. |

Quentin Tarantino’s ninth movie Once Upon a Time in Hollywood looks like another intriguing film with the director’s signature style scrawled all over it. Except for one thing.
The movie’s first teaser trailer and poster finally made their debut this week, and it looks like audiences aren’t quite as instantly enamored with the movie as they have been in the past for previous Tarantino films like Django Unchained or Inglorious Basterds—and for good reason. The teaser looks intriguing, but the poster? It’s bad enough to meme.
The movie sounds like it’s going to be a pretty fun (and vulgar) romp, which follows Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Margot Robbie (as Sharon Tate), and tons of other stars in 1960s Hollywood as a TV actor and his stunt double work to break into the movie industry. Things probably aren’t going to go as planned.
Let’s talk about the poster. It’s more than a little uninspired, as it features Pitt and DiCaprio awkwardly leaning against the invisible wall that is the edges of the poster. Then, we’ve got to look at their awkward posing. We have so many questions. Why is Leo scowling and looking off to the side, while Brad is staring straight ahead with an apprehensive look on his face? Aren’t these men supposed to be best friends? Why does it look like a bad Photoshop?
Considering Tarantino’s penchant for stylish imagery in his films and his work in general, fans were expecting something, well, a little flashier. Fans were quick to point out the weird discrepancies in the image, the actors’ weird stances and outfits, and the overall blandness of the poster.
Twitter began roasting it with memes that compared it to other classic Hollywood posters, like How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days and the Starsky and Hutch remake.

In my first real job I was blessed with some incredible female role models. ‘Formidable women’ I called them, they held senior positions, they were confident, capable and respected at work. They each had demanding roles and rich personal lives which they juggled. Feeling inspired, I planned to become one of them. Around the same time, Sheryl Sandberg published ‘Lean In: Women, Work and the Will to Lead’, which tied all these ideas up in a well-proportioned bow.
Since then, I have begun asking more questions about what success for women really means. In retrospect, my team of ‘formidable women’ were all of the things I previously mentioned, but they were also drinking 2-3 coffees a day, working overtime all of the time and the balancing act of professional vs personal life looked precarious. Thinking back, I have to ask myself is that what I want for my own future?
Last year, former First Lady and all-around global sweetheart, Michelle Obama took to a New York stage and told a packed auditorium “It’s not always enough to lean in because that shit doesn’t work.” Her words were part of a wider discourse questioning the idea of women having it all. Five years ago, the media was awash with things that Sandberg had gotten right; men still run the world, lack of self-confidence holds most women back, a career focussed group of peers will help women stay organised and connected, women should ask their partners to do at least half of the parenting work. Today though, working mothers are buckling under the expectation that they should be phenomenal at work and at home. Never mind that flexible working really means leaving the office at 3pm only to pick back up at 9pm once the children are in bed. Or that working mothers are still expected to be the primary caregivers and fathers experience far less judgement for any shortcomings in their parenting. This pressure is tenfold amongst younger women. Both Leomie Anderson and Pandora Sykes have spoken about the ‘Fear of Missing Out on my Goals’ (FOMOG).
For women aged 18-35, the standard societal demands are compounded by the normalisation of perfection on social media. This could be as direct as a meme stating ‘You have the same number of hours in a day as Beyoncé.’ Or as subtle as the Kardashian sisters looking perfectly made up with their perfectly attired children while failing to show even a glimpse of the army of staff that help them out. Sure you’ll see the glam squad, but what about the chef, housekeeper, nannies etc? When I speak to my friends or members of The Junior Network, everyone is determined to be successful and that means looking amazing, eating well, having a life partner and children, having a well-paid career that they love, exercising regularly and still finding time for self-care. While The Sunday Times is publishing zeitgeist challenging pieces for an elite middle-class audience, no one is letting the rest of us know that the bubble has burst.
So I’ve elected myself your local town crier. Having it all is an impossible dream; real-life accounts in the aforementioned article makes some informative if horrifying bedtime reading should you have any doubts. Women’s Liberation has opened a wealth of opportunities for us; we can work, we can stay at home, we can be leaders, we can run businesses. Sadly, it has also been distorted into an expectation to be all of those things, at the same time. Let’s start our own revolution. Let’s reject the idea that perfection is required to achieve success. There are only 24 hours in the day, eight of which you should spend sleeping, the remaining 16 can only stretch so far. As can you. Put less pressure on yourself to lean in. Ask more questions about what you really want in your life and don’t waste time feeling bad about what you choose not to do.
Choice, that’s the real freedom.

Weary of attacks by Boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen, Christians in Nigeria ask how long they’re supposed to “count it all joy.”
At the Church of Christ in Nigeria congregation, Sunday morning worship opens with the din of a military-style drumroll. Inside a long, one-room building with a sheet-metal roof supported by handmade trusses, the uniformed Girls’ Brigade choir takes turns singing and dancing—younger girls on the left and women on the right. A wide-eyed child clings to a djembe played by his mother.
Next to her, a young drummer bears a dramatic scar across her left cheek. It is a reminder of the day, eight years ago, that the evangelical church and surrounding homes in this community of Christian farmers south of Jos were razed by Muslim extremists.
Other markers are less subtle. Beyond rebuilt houses with soaring live-cactus fences, amid rice and corn fields where a dozen goats are tied to stakes, sprawls an enormous concrete slab with a thin, rusty metal cross on top. Entombed there are 483 victims from the attack, stacked in three rows.
A plaque on the mass grave cites Revelation 6:10–11:
They shouted in a loud voice, “Almighty Lord, holy and true, how long will it be until you judge them on earth and punish them for killing us?
Each of them was given a white robe, and they were told to rest a little while longer, until the complete number of their fellow servants and fellow Christians had been killed as they had been.
The verse would prove prophetic: Days after Christianity Today visited the site, Muslim extremists killed more than 200 people across a dozen nearby villages, prompting outrage from Nigerian Christian leaders wearied by years of the crisis with little response from their federal government or from abroad.
After worship that Sunday, a police escort walks from the tomb with a radio on his hip, bouncing next to his AK-47. Over the airwaves comes the Nigerian version of a familiar hymn: “Savior, Savior, hear my humble cry; while on others thou art calling, do not pass me by.”
Evangelical leaders in Africa’s most populous nation would apply that last phrase to their American brothers and sisters and the US government. Amid global attention on ISIS in Iraq and Syria for its persecution of Christians, in Nigeria two other groups of Muslim extremists—Boko Haram and Fulani herdsmen—have killed and displaced about as many believers in recent years.
During ISIS’s peak, Boko Haram was formidable, rivaling the Islamic State in deaths and displacement, according to the Global Terrorism Index. Today, the Fulani conflict has surpassed Boko Haram as Nigeria’s greatest violent threat, killing more than 1,300 Nigerians from January to June alone—six times higher than Boko Haram’s death toll, according to the International Crisis Group.
As fans cheered teams at this summer’s World Cup, CT traveled to Nigeria to visit displacement camps and interview Christian leaders in five states in the so-called Middle Belt, where the nation’s mostly Christian south meets its mostly Muslim north. Nigeria currently ranks No. 14 on Open Doors’ World Watch List of the countries where it is hardest to be a Christian. Nearly everyone CT spoke with argues it should rank higher.
Entering Nigeria’s capital, Abuja, from the south, vehicles pass a towering sculpture bearing twin spires and the words “You Are Welcome.” A cutout of Nigeria, painted green and white like its flag, hangs between the spires on taut cables that look like they could tear the shape in two.
It’s inescapable that Nigeria is a highly religious place. On the road from Abuja’s airport, every third billboard advertises the ministry of a megachurch pastor. On evening TV, there are as many megachurch infomercials as there are World Cup ads. Roadside businesses have names like God’s Will Furniture, Winning Divine Favor Lighting, and God’s Son Chikun Feed. Where many US gas stations would have a standalone car wash, many Nigerian ones have a small mosque.
Traffic on the main road from Abuja toward Jos is at a standstill, backed up four cars wide as far as the eye can see. The reason isn’t the end-of-Ramadan holiday traffic; a group of about 100 Muslim men are conducting their mid-morning prayers across all the westbound lanes. A short distance down the road, throngs of Muslims stream past roadside mattress vendors toward a large mosque. Driving slowly through them is a white church van with a prominent slogan: “Repent or perish.”
In such a fraught sectarian environment, Nigerian Christians aren’t shy about their evangelism. The word missionary labels the rear doors of many church vans. But also omnipresent alongside the roadways are grazing white cattle—the kind the Fulani herd. Boko Haram, an Islamist terrorist group whose name loosely translates to “Western education is sin,” has been concentrated (and contained) in Nigeria’s three most northeastern states in its failed attempt to establish a caliphate next to Cameroon, Chad, and Niger. But the Fulani, a sizable tribe of nomadic Muslim herders, are present throughout Nigeria and pose a greater security concern as more of them radicalize.
Today, travel through even majority Christian areas is interrupted by frequent security checkpoints, where women and children swarm each waiting vehicle and thrust bundles of bananas, carrots, or cashews through the open windows, trying to make a sale. But the vendors scrutinize and hassle travelers more than most soldiers manning the roadblocks do. (Upon learning the driver is a pastor, one soldier asks, “In church, they give offerings, right?”—a polite attempt at extortion.) Most of the roadblocks are labeled “Operation Safe Haven”—an irony given that many northern Christians who fled Boko Haram came seeking just that in the Christian stronghold of Plateau state and its capital, Jos.
Instead, like the Church of Christ in Nigeria (COCIN) congregation with its mass grave, they found Fulani radicals.
Most denominations in the north can point to churches destroyed and lives lost, but the three hardest hit are evangelical ones: COCIN, the Evangelical Church Winning All (ECWA), and the Church of the Brethren (EYN). “Our stories are not heard,” Dachollom Datiri, president of COCIN, tells CT. More than 1,000 of his members in 50 communities have lost their homes and churches to Fulani attacks. “The effect on the church has been devastating,” he says. “You hear needs from left, right, and center. You are woken up in the night by phone calls, and you are at a loss of what to do.”
Datiri tries to preach sermons that will encourage his struggling people. “I use most often James [1:2]: ‘Count it all joy when you face trial,’ ” he says. “But it is becoming harder to count it all joy. For the past month, trial has been every day. It has been incessant.”
The official government narrative is that the violence is economic, not sectarian. It’s a perennial clash between mostly Muslim herdsmen and mostly Christian farmers over suitable land, they say, aggravated by the Sahara Desert encroaching farther south and by some Nigerian states passing anti-grazing laws that the herdsmen see as unjust. Evangelical leaders vigorously dispute this.
“If you get the narrative wrong, then you get the solution wrong,” says Yunusa Nmadu, general secretary of ECWA and its 5 million members. “The government doesn’t want to call it what it is: terrorism.”
“I’m 51 and have lived all my life as a northerner,” says Nmadu, who lived in Kaduna until moving to Jos last year. “From time immemorial the Fulani have lived among us. Yes, there was conflict; sometimes cows eat the produce. But the Fulani only had sticks. All of a sudden, they start carrying AK-47s. Who gave them the funds and the training? For me, it’s just Boko Haram changing tactics.”
In 2015, a delegation from the US Commission on International Religious Freedom visited Nmadu in Jos. “They asked me what was my fear. I said that Fulani attacks would increase, because we will have a Fulani president and they will feel emboldened.
“If that was a prophecy, it has come true,” he says. “But it’s not rocket science; it’s a simple analysis.”
Throughout the Middle Belt, stenciled signs for ECWA, COCIN, and other churches line the roadside as frequently as ads for Coca-Cola and cell phones do in other countries. The second-most-common signs are for political candidates running in the upcoming national election in February 2019. (“In God we trust” is a common slogan—for Muslim candidates.) The most consequential: whether current President Muhammadu Buhari, a Fulani himself, will be granted a second term.
Christian circles are rife with conspiracies over to what extent Buhari’s administration is instigating the current crisis; at the very least, it’s clear that Fulani radicals are pushing their limits against Christians just like radical Hindus are under fellow nationalist Prime Minister Narendra Modi [see “Outpacing Persecution,” November 2016].
Back in Abuja, the government has built a towering monument halfway between Nigeria’s massive national mosque and national church. It resembles a torch. But while the northern states feel highly flammable, the capital is surprisingly peaceful for a center of government. This is mainly because many people live in satellite cities like Gwagwalada, where on a Sunday night about 200 former residents of Jos have gathered to break a fast and passionately pray for peace.
“Enough is enough!” declares one of the pastors hosting Plateau Prays, an annual event, at a COCIN church. “The time has come. I pray that God will answer our prayers.” As the congregation breaks their fast with okra stew and fufu, a common Nigerian dish made from semolina flour, leaders go backstage to the pastor’s office and trade stories of newly displaced arrivals or of members who were ambushed. One leader keeps muttering “Jesus!” He means it as a prayer, but it sounds like a swear.
“There’s not one person in that service whose family has not been affected. Not one,” says Kyauta Damulak, president of the Plateau diaspora in Abuja, as he blots away tears with a gray plaid handkerchief. “I worry this will be a long dark night for us. Our only consolation is in the Scriptures—that when people repent and turn to God, he will aid them.”
Aaron Ndirmbita, pastor of the COCIN church hosting the event, is from Chibok, the northeastern city where 276 schoolgirls were kidnapped by Boko Haram in 2014. (Despite #BringBackOurGirls activism, more than 100 remain unaccounted for.) He was also head pastor of COCIN Headquarters Church in Jos when it was attacked in 2012; the wreckage of the suicide bomber’s vehicle is still preserved in the courtyard.
“We remember the way God saved us,” he explains. That Sunday, he was preaching to 1,200 attendees seated in the basement—the main sanctuary was under construction—when the assailant’s van got stuck after running over a motorcycle and exploded mere meters from the building, demolishing Ndirmbita’s office and his house but killing only four people. “It was a miracle,” he says. “We need to remember the hand of God.”
Many analysts worry about Nigeria becoming the next Central African Republic, riven with reprisal attacks by uncontrollable Muslim and Christian militias. Ndirmbita worries about his nation becoming Egypt or Algeria. “We are students of church history,” he says. “History tells us that [such places] were once Christian and then Islamized.” (While in today’s Nigeria the two religious groups are evenly split at about 100 million each, by 2050 the Pew Research Center projects Muslims will outnumber Christians by 75 million.)
Such fears amid the 2018 surge in Fulani attacks are best illustrated in Benue, the state known as the nation’s breadbasket. Green and lush during the rainy season, small farms of cassava and yams line the red earth roads as far as the eye can see. Frequent roadblocks interrupt what would otherwise be an idyllic drive. Whereas once the main threat would have been the bad roads, now the sectarian troubles of Nigeria’s northeast have come into one of Nigeria’s Christian strongholds. As one election sign says, “The days of jokes are over.”
In the state’s capital, Makurdi, a large sculpture of a Nigerian cornucopia dominates the central roundabout. Just outside the city, however, farmers are seeking safety in one of eight camps for internally displaced persons (IDPs) that the Benue government opened this year after a recent anti-grazing law triggered a surge of attacks by herdsmen. Bamboo scaffolding still encases the outer walls of most structures. Thousands are staying in a large U-shaped building with one wing unfinished. Most men sleep outside (except when it rains) due to overcrowding. “To be a man is not a day job,” proclaims graffiti on one wall. But there is not much for anyone to do other than wait.
Over meager lunches of corn stew, everyone CT interviews wants to return to their homes and their fields. “As they say, there is no place like home,” says Philip, a 42-year-old ECWA member who fled Fulani assailants with his wife and four children, ages 2 to 12. Here he can’t farm or pay school fees.
The camp’s manager tells CT how one couple went back to check the damage. The husband was killed in front of the wife, who was told to come back to the camp and carry the message: “We have taken over. Don’t come back.”
Roughly 90 minutes away in Mbalom, a Catholic church suffered an April attack that made global headlines the same day Nigeria’s bishops were at the Vatican to personally petition Pope Francis about their troubles. Along the narrow dirt road to the church, villages typical of those attacked peek through grass that towers above passing vehicles: isolated clusters of six to ten huts, surrounded by their subsistence fields. Many of their clearings have a handful of small tombs, decorated with blue and white square tiles—where the dead would normally be buried, rather than in mass graves.
At the low-slung church, handmade wood benches form 14 rows of pews before a white lectern with a small cross and a basic altar draped in green. Only the front third has walls, rusty sheet metal now perforated with bullet holes. Congregants who survived the attack explain how the assailants rushed from behind the church-built school to the left as soon as the bell rang to start the service that fateful Sunday. A banner memorializes the two priests killed. Nothing marks where the other 17 bodies fell as people rushed toward the nearby market, vacant since the attack, whose buildings form a large square shaded by towering mango trees.
Gbinde Godwin, a church member whose brother died in the attack, explains how he has sent his four kids, ages eight to two, to family hours away. The cow is now a symbol of fear: that herdsmen are nearby and could attack again. Upon seeing a cow, the 28-year-old farmer explains, “the community will start running. Oh my God, my God, I won’t stay here.”
Just over one of the bridges spanning the massive Benue River that bifurcates Makurdi, Yimam Orkwar, a former chairman of the state chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN), debates politics with a colleague at Faith Cathedral. They argue whether President Buhari, a patron of the Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, should be impeached. “Have you seen a country where cattle are valued more than human life?” he asks. Often the Fulani killings will be framed as retaliation for stolen cattle. He wants to know where the allegedly missing cows could have gone; he can certainly show visitors the graves of the scores of farmers.
A New Year’s Day massacre in Benue may have been the first many outside Nigeria had read about the crisis, but it was the 47th attack in four years, explains Bishop Mike Angou, chairman of the state chapter of the Pentecostal Fellowship of Nigeria. Leaders want to build a chapel at the nearby mass grave where the 73 victims were buried, as “a petition to the world,” according to one.
“The people are very disgruntled. It was horrifying to see 1 person bury 73 people,” Angou says, as Japan scores its first goal over Colombia on the nearby TV. “Then 23 were killed. Then 17 were killed. Then 50 were killed.” He rattles off attacks and their grisly details. Colombia ties the game, but Angou doesn’t notice.
Across dozens of interviews, Nigerian church leaders told CT they encourage their congregations to follow Jesus’ example and turn the other cheek. One source of perseverance: Leah Sharibu, a Dapchi teenager kidnapped in February by Boko Haram whose refusal to renounce Jesus has left her imprisoned but made her an inspirational meme on many Christians’ social media profiles or smartphone wallpapers.
But now that Fulani violence has eclipsed Boko Haram, beleaguered believers complain they have no cheeks left to turn. Angry youths sometimes attack Fulani or their cows, though on a smaller scale than the violence that necessitated mass graves. “The people have been pushed to the boiling point,” Orkwar says. “There’s a limit to when you can pacify them with the Word of God.”
ECWA’s Nmadu worries that reprisal attacks could morph into something worse. “We are on the precipice,” he says. “If Nigeria goes into civil war, all of West Africa is gone. The immigration crisis will be damningly catastrophic for Europe and America.”
“I am not a prophet of doom,” he says. “But it looks like we are very close to it.”
In neighboring Nasarawa state, 72-year-old Bishop Masin was asked to return to the CAN state chairman position he’d held twice before because he was once quartermaster general of a tank battalion of 14,000 soldiers. “I don’t hold a gun anymore, but I have a mouth,” says Masin, who pastors a large Pentecostal church full of displaced believers in the state capital, Lafia. “And I have no fear to talk to the government face to face.” He encourages members of his church not to resort to guns themselves. “I say I am fighting for them; let them not fight back,” he said. “Instead of the gun or bullet or knife, I fight with paper. We want to document and take people to see.”
Masin shows his tally of local attacks in 2018. It includes 314 villages; many have photo evidence, compiled by local farmers associations. His smartphone displays a May protest march in Lafia that drew thousands; one woman holds a “Free Leah” sign while everyone around her waves clumps of tall grass. “The herdsmen are looking for grass. Is there any grass in the church?” he says of the Catholic massacre in Mbalom. “That’s what we came out in protest: to bring our cry to the world to hear.” Behind his desk hangs an embroidered cityscape of Jerusalem—his reminder to pray for its peace. Masin wishes more people around the world were praying for the peace of Nigeria.
Currently, Christian leaders are putting their worldly hopes on the 2019 election as a chance to remove Buhari and his Fulani-friendly administration. Churches across Nigeria are campaigning for members to arrive the following Sunday with their “PVCs”: permanent voter cards. Some have even made it a requirement for taking Communion—a sign of how serious they are taking the 2019 presidential vote.
The PFN’s Angou estimates nationally only 1 in 4 Christians has their PVC. He says the effort in Benue hopes to hit 90 percent. “This seems to be the only way out,” he says. “We cannot carry arms. And we are law-abiding. Christians have to come out and vote in 2019.”
In the meantime, many Nigerian Christians have dedicated their lives to serving those on the frontlines of the crisis. One noteworthy example: a camp for children displaced by both Boko Haram and the Fulani. It was founded a decade ago by a Fulani Muslim convert, whose family persecuted her for leaving Islam. She had a vision to create a place of refuge for children like herself. It soon swelled to 300 youths, who receive shelter and food but also discipleship. A team of them recently placed first in a national Bible memorization competition.
Beyond the camp, a peaceful sea of green farmland bearing maize and potatoes stretches to the foggy horizon. But the camp director says recently they could see smoke and flames on the horizon from a Fulani attack. “The kids were so fearful. They started packing their bags to run away,” he said. “We had to calm them and pray for God to protect us.”
Closer to Abuja, at a food distribution at Gurku Interfaith Relocation Camp, about 100 displaced women and children have gathered under the shade of a mango tree to receive cereal bowl–sized rations of maize and rice and bags of shoes and clothing. The US ambassador and other American officials are visiting the site, among Nigeria’s many IDP camps, for one unique reason: It is a place where displaced Christians and Muslims have agreed to live side by side.
Its founder, Markus Gamache, the chief liaison for the Brethren church, didn’t plan to create a national case study that the US government would highlight. He was trying to reduce the burden of hosting 60 displaced people at his house, where he already had a family of 13. The first places he went, community leaders told him they would kill any Muslims that came. He finally found a host—in the bush, far away from the main road. Partially for safety, but mostly because the displaced farmers couldn’t cultivate food for their families in the cities.
Gamache also created the camp because he wants Christians and Muslims to live together, as before their displacement, for evangelism. “You can’t preach to someone two kilometers away—even if you shout,” he says. “You need to whisper the love of Jesus when they are next to you.”
Back at the youth camp, a group of girls accompanied by a spirited drummer sing a praise song to Jehovah, which after an 8x refrain, “Where shall I run to?” is followed by:
I run to the mountain, the mountain said no
I run to the hill, the hill said no no no
I run to the ocean, the ocean said no
I run to my God, my God has answered me.
The worship song is about a “sinner man” but feels apropos to Nigerian Christians at large. Consider the theme of the year for ECWA’s 10,000 churches: “Joy in Suffering,” based on 1 Peter 4:13. “You are not alone in your suffering,” says Nmadu. “God is with you.
“For the Christian, persecution is inevitable; Jesus himself promised us persecution. All we can do is reduce its effect,” he says. “Whatever happens, this world is not our home. We have a better home, where one day all this persecution will cease.”

Given how contentious the 2020 U.S. presidential election was, one can’t assume whether someone voted for President Joe Biden or former President Donald Trump. But what may be a strange consolation prize for those that supported “The Donald” is potential cannabis legalization, a factor that has steadily bolstered companies like Sundial Growers (NASDAQ:SNDL). Despite much choppiness, SNDL stock is up significantly higher from its December 31 closing price of 47 cents.
Of course, Sundial Growers in particular is popular with the social media crowd. Now, I’m not about to outright declare SNDL stock a meme trade since bringing that point up generates tremendous heat. What I will say is that SNDL has meme-ish qualities, whereby traders post encouraging, amusing or downright delusional comments on social media, all in an effort to drive shares higher.
To be fair, though, the enthusiasm for SNDL stock isn’t just centered on social media. Instead, there is a possibility that the U.S. government could legalize cannabis at the federal level. If so, this move may usher in accretive economic growth — something we can all use.
And I’m not just saying that. Prior to the Covid-19 pandemic, the cannabis sector represented the employment sector with the biggest job growth. Further, despite the severe economic impact that the public health crisis imposed, the cannabis industry is still pumping out employment opportunities, “creating jobs at a faster rate than any other American industry.”
If that wasn’t a powerful enough catalyst for SNDL stock and its ilk, consider the political divide in this country. It seems like Democrats and Republicans can’t agree on a single darn thing. If a Democrat says the sky was blue, a Republican walks outside to confirm it isn’t.
Where the conflict softens, however, is good ole Mary Jane. As evidence, both major parties approved the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018, colloquially known as the farm bill which basically legalized hemp.
Don’t Jump on SNDL Stock Just Yet
Based on this encouraging political backdrop, many reasoned that SNDL stock is a worthwhile bet. Though headquartered in Calgary, Alberta, Sundial Growers can potentially break into the U.S. market should federal legalization receive the green light. Specializing in premium-quality cannabis products that address a range of needs, Sundial has a wholesome image — or at least as wholesome as a cannabis maker can get.
But just how realistic is federal legalization? While it might seem like having Biden in the White House would usher in a green-friendly future, the only kind of green we’re seeing with any substance is in clean energy. While the President seems very open to decriminalization, he hasn’t been gung-ho about adult recreational legalization.
I’m speculating, but he might not change his tune. As a moderate with left-leaning ideas, Biden doesn’t necessarily want to rock the boat. Also, one factor that doesn’t get discussed much about legalization is the human element. That is, people generally want history to remember them kindly. Therefore, making a bold bet on a paradigm-shifting piece of legislation may be a bigger risk than we non-politicians might appreciate.
The country already has a massive problem with opioids. Therefore, some fear, legalizing cannabis may serve to exacerbate underlying mental health issues that led to opioid use and addiction in the first place. Many experts have argued as such and from a logical perspective, the thesis has some valid points.
Moreover, nobody knows for sure how legalizing weed will affect society. Even if it has no effect, the optics open themselves for sharp politicized criticism. Let’s say as an example that crime jumps higher following legalization. Whether marijuana was responsible or not, the opposition party can claim it was due to legalizing weed.
Thus, even from a purely political perspective, giving the federal green light is very risky to both Biden and the Democrats.
Legalization Will Also Lead to Self-Contradictions
Another reason why speculators of SNDL stock may want to reconsider the legalization narrative is that it will spark contradictory actions within the government. For example, the National Institute on Drug Abuse has a directive to analyze addictions in an effort to reduce narcotics use.
But if the federal government legalizes marijuana, what kind of message would that send? In its studies, the National Institute on Drug Abuse discovered data that is consistent with the charge that cannabis is a gateway drug. That doesn’t necessarily mean there’s a cause-and-effect relationship. But this agency implies that freely available cannabis may present societal risks.
Again, from this perspective, the juice may not be worth the squeeze for President Biden. The farm bill was palatable because legal hemp does not trigger a psychoactive effect. But the same cannot be said for fully potent cannabis.
Therefore, if you’re going to bet on SNDL stock, it’s best to assume no movement on the legalization front. If cannabis does receive the green light, it’d be a pleasant surprise. But if not, at least you made your decision based on factors unrelated to this legislative debate.

It turns out that there is a sound Capitalist argument for Universal Basic Income. In a depressed economy with a significant labor surplus (which has been true of the lower half of the US economy for most of the last 40 years), the most valuable thing average people can bring to market is their ability to consume. In strict Capitalist terms, UBI doesn't pay people to do NOTHING, it pays them to CONSUME. And THAT is something the economy actually needs.
Watching "Frankenstein" on YouTube (Miller as Monster; we saw the Cumberbatch as Monster version back in 2012). GREAT play.

From an RPG GM Group:
Someone: Most of us have been playing various role playing games for a long time. What motivates you to continue playing? What drives that passion?
The responses were joyous and inspirational and, to me, really, really alien.
My answer: I don't know any more; I've lost it. I joined this group as part of a personal quest to get it back.
It's May 4.
The day when my vague dislike of all things Star Wars gets pushed right to the edge of hatred (though it never falls over).
It would have been almost exactly 37 years ago; the movie didn't open for a few more weeks, but I rushed out and got the Marvel comics adaptation, because I wanted to see how Lucas was going to resolve the wonderful mythic conundrum that had been set up by Vader's announcement that he was Luke's father. I had been waiting for THREE YEARS...
LUCAS THREW IT AWAY. He had never had a solution, and he couldn't be bothered to invent one, because it didn't involve selling toys.
I was an emotional wreck at that point anyway; my fiancee had dumped me a few weeks earlier, and I was considerably less sane than even my normal dodgy standard. And now this. I had been in love with Star Wars for six years; I had only been in love with the redhead for one.
I got over the redhead. That breakup turned out to be a very good thing, actually. But Lucas... Lucas had broken my heart (and forever destroyed the already marginal narrative integrity of his creation) out of LAZINESS. It's hard to forgive that.
The thing is, I WANT to forgive Star Wars. I still vividly remember the joy those first two movies gave me. I still drag myself into every new movie hoping to find more than a few vague echoes of that long lost magic, but it remains lost.
The risk analysis engine in my head, which never sleeps, assures me that I am wasting my time, that the machine which Star Wars has become is not just soulless, but soul-consuming, and that there is no hope that the magic will return.
"Really?" I ask. "No hope at all?"
"It is a non-zero probability," the Risk Engine replies. "It would be a very poor wager."
"And yet," I say, as I put my money once again on the long shot, "I continue to hope."
My cousin, David Walthers, died early Sunday morning at the age of 76. He did his 20, and more, in the US Army, and then kept doing the same thing as a civilian contractor for another 20 or so. We weren't close; we haven't spoken since his mother's funeral back in 2005.
I am now Grandma Haynie's oldest surviving grandchild. Not sure how I feel about that.
Howard Ballard, the hero of the following piece, died in the small hours this morning at the age of 91.
My sister-in-law Sue, Howard's daughter, shared this with him shortly after I wrote it in 2018. I have known, from the moment that I finished writing it, that I was morally obligated to read it at his funeral.
Circumstances have interfered. I do my best.
In December of 2013, at a family gathering, I made an off-hand comment about the impossibility of a human-powered helicopter, and Howard, my bother's father-in-law, looked me in the eye and sincerely asked me why it was impossible.
Howard was in his 80s, then, a retired marketing guy whose only formal experience with physics or engineering would have been during the Truman administration. The answer he wanted was really over the edge of his world. But he seemed to be really interested, so I took a deep breath and dove in.
I hit him with the distinction between momentum and kinetic energy, and power limitations, and scaling issues, maybe three minutes of really hard core geekery while the other nine or ten people at the table looked on with interest, amusement, or boredom. Howard asked intelligent questions and stayed engaged, and in the end, I think he really got it. I wouldn't bet that he could reconstruct it the next day, but at that moment, he had a firm grasp on this obscure little bit of the esoterica mathematica.
Every now and then, someone does something that just makes me proud to be a member of the same species, does something that cuts through all of the angst and the doomsaying and makes a little voice in my head say, "Damn. Score one for the big, pink monkeys." That night, it was Howard.
I can only hope that, if I survive that long, I can play the game of life half as well as Howard did that night.
Here's to you, Howard. You still make me proud to be a member of the same species.
(I have since learned that about six months before the above mentioned conversation took place, the AeroVelo Atlas, a gossamer monstrosity that occupied half a football field and was powered by an Olympic-level cyclist, flew for 64 seconds. *I* was wrong; Howard was still impossibly cool.)
One of the myriad ways you can dichotomize humanity is that there are those who find the idea of reunion with and eventual dissolution into the cosmic oneness as comforting, and there are those who find the idea horrific.
On this day in 1937, broadcaster Herbert Morrison choked back his desire to let loose with an entirely appropriate string of expletives, and said, "Oh, the humanity!"

So... After seven years, ten months, and eleven days, the cola vow is on hiatus. It hasn't been paid off, or rescinded, it's just on hold for a while for a couple of reasons.
Last night, I drank the last of the Dr. Pepper in the house before my nightly caffeine cutoff. This morning, I filled my mug with ice, and filled the empty spaces with Coca-Cola.
It was a religious experience. I didn't actually cry, I just got kind of misty. Oh, my goodness gracious.
There is a scar in the midde of my forehead. It's pretty much dead center, horizontal, about two inches long. It was smaller when I got it, but it has grown with my head over the last 60 years...
When I was still luggage, my dad added a porch onto the back of our house. Being a bricklayer, it was a brick porch, surrounded by a low parapet topped with a flat cut stone coping. It was probably too low to be legal today, but it was convenient to sit on.
At some point in the summer of 1960, when I was four years old, , my parents were entertaining their friends the Arnquists on that porch. Their idiot elder son, whom no one was watching too closely, and had been watching acrobats on "Bozo's Circus" earlier that day, got an idea. He was going to jump up into a handstand on top of the parapet, and then do a backflip onto the ground six feet below. He was no more capable of performing this trick than he was of sprouting wings and flying to the moon, but he was somewhat reality challenged, even then.
No one actually saw the idiot child as he walked up to the parapet, put his hands on the edge of the coping, took a deep breath, and smashed his forhead into the edge of the coping as hard as he could. My detailed memory of the evening ends at that point; I got four stitches, and a persistent scar. I have no idea what impact the incident had on my parents' peace of mind.
I guess the point of this is that I was already thoroughly sanity optional BEFORE I cracked my head open...
While the soda-bottle mask is unquestionably ridiculous, it has advantages. First, it really was made of common household items (and the design process started before other options were really available). Second, it's more comfortable (for me, anyway) than the "behind the ears" suspension of most commercial masks. And third, because it's a hard shell mask, it's easy to wear without wearing. If I go for a walk, I let the mask dangle on a lanyard, and if someone comes within about fifteen feet, I can clamp in on my face instantly, and then drop it again ten steps later. (I still have to take a moment to put it on to enter a building.) Because trying to exercise with a mask in place is just insane.
Life and Biology:
I noticed three different aromas yesterday. This is unusual; normally I am only aware that I actually have a sense of smell once every two or three days (and then, the smell I notice is usually unpleasant). The triple play triggered some long dormant thoughts, and I realized that I seem to have more olfactory sensors in my mouth than in my nose. (Everyone has olfactory sensors in their mouths, they are just usually overwhelmed by the ones in the nose.) I don't know if I ever really had reasonable sense of smell; by the time I reached adulthood, chronic sinus blockage and scar tissue had certainly done it in.
The takeaway from this is that, going forward, when someone says, "Smell this," I need to inhale sharply through my mouth, and I MIGHT actually sense something. Because inhaling though my nose has always been a waste of time.
Long ago, and in a far country...
I was on my way home from work, wearing my security uniform and driving my rusted out '71 Chevelle. It was about 8:30 in the morning. I stopped for a light, and saw two young women on the corner with their thumbs out. I reached across, rolled down the passenger side window, and asked them where they were going. They said Joliet. That was about 50 miles out of my way, but the girls were cute, and I had no plans.
They were going down to visit their respective boyfriends in two different Joliet prisons; I drove each to her respective destination. It was a silly, Quixotic thing that cost me about ninety minutes and four gallons of gas. They probably gave me some gas money; I don't remember, and don't much care.
The thing is, I have just that much real world relationship to Stateville, and I wouldn't trade it. Say hello to Jake for me. (Image of Bluesmobile, Jake, and Elwood in front of the open gate.)
Sign of the times:
I was out walking along Grand Avenue and saw a man walking toward me. At about 15 feet, I clamped my mask over my face and kept walking. We were about three feet apart when he passed next to a lamp post, turned around, and started back the other way. He was moving faster than I was, and the range increased quickly. I noticed that his right pant leg was hiked up near his knee, and there was a blocky lump on the inside of his right ankle. He reached the driveway of an apartment complex and turned in, and I realized that he was exercising within the limits of his ankle monitor.

Hi gang. I am so tickled you have decided to listen in to our first episode of Mondays with Mindy. I'm here virtually with my co host co producer, copilot, Christian Brescia. Hi everybody. I can't imagine launching anything. Without the two gentlemen that are joining us today Christian is our first guest Brent ridge and Josh Coomer Purcell. Maybe you know them as the founders of their super successful beauty and lifestyle brand, Beekman 1802. Or, as the winners of season 21 of The Amazing Race. I know them as two of my very best friends. We traveled together, I chore and retreat to their incredible farm in upstate New York. They inspire me Make me belly laugh, and are two of my most Sage confidence. They are generous and kind men and I call them my family of choice. And they're stuck with me.
Getting to the nitty gritty now. Dr. Brent Ridge is a physician who trained at Columbia University and was solely responsible For the Martha Stewart center for living at Mount Sinai Medical Center where he used to specialize in geriatric medicine. Martha stole him away to become the VP of healthy living at her company Omni media.
Well and Josh Kilmer Purcell is a New York Times and national best selling author of two memoirs. The first PS I'm not myself these days. It's a darkly funny chronicle of his time as an advertising art director by day and the glittery drag queen, awkward this Yak by night. A funny little anecdote here, Christian. I actually ran into Josh many times at numerous clubs in New York during this time we're talking about while he was dressed in his infamous black latex and pleather bodysuit with cutout plexiglass boobs that he'd filled with water and live. Amazing. Oh, not to mention his five inch stiletto boots. He was a sight to behold. For sure. Well, his other well received memoir, the blue collar plague. How two Manhattanites became gentlemen farmers, it's stories from their burgeoning weekend farmers turned business moguls, who inherited a barn of kids goats. That and a llama named polka spot. They share how they reinvented themselves and started a new company, Beekman 1802. During the stock market crash and the recession that followed together, they've co authored five books. The Beekman, 1802 heirloom cookbook. The Beekman 1802 heirloom vegetable. The Beekman 1802 heirloom dessert. The Beekman 1802 style and the latest a seat at the table recipes to nourish family and friends. All of these showcase their amazing gardening and cooking skills and amazing art direction. A stylist that can be envied and copied and a love of sharing with their neighbors. We'll get more into that neighbor thing when the guys join us.
Nice. Sounds like they are the ultimate examples of creatives who are not afraid to pivot. They're superheroes have Surviving and actually thriving in a recession which is a timely topic to say the least. It only makes sense to welcome them on Mondays with Mindy as our first guests and without further ado, I'd like to welcome Dr. Brent Ridge and Mr. Josh Kilmer Purcell. Welcome to the show, guys.
Ah, we're so excited to be here.
Welcome you guys. Thank you. I cannot do anything first without you guys. So, the way we're gonna start these is beautifully provided by Jonathan Adler. We have our secrets jar. And so there's 20 questions and just at random, I'm going to pick five and just kind of get the conversation going. see where it takes us. Okay, so I want you both to answer each question. Okay.
Okay, so, okay,
who is your favorite relative and why? We won't hold you to a really
one of my or I would say both of my grandma's are my favorite. They're both still alive. And we spent so much time with my family. My sister and I spent so much time with my grandparents as we were growing up, and it really just shaped so much of my perspective on life. That's why I went into geriatric medicine to begin with because of all my time with them. So I'd have to say, my grandparents or my grandma's, I, mine would, of course, have to be my uncle Arthur, who he was a gay man. And he met his partner in World War Two and they spent the rest of their life in the south of France living the life of an expat in the south of France. And he taught me everything about how to be amazing and he was like, you know, I'm 50 almost 51 years old and when I was a kid, there weren't a lot of gay role models right? I mean, even when you watch phil donahue they were always like blacked out and their voices were changing. I know right? And so like he have a gay role model at you know, when I was a young kid was was actually a pretty big deal.
Okay, mine was not as interesting but well, mine had grandma's
and your grandma's named jewel!
The theme of Monday's with Mindy is talking to creatives about the creative process and that question kind of comes from usually that person or a couple people really influenced and I know your grandmother's have influenced your aesthetic. We'll get into that later. So I'm reaching into my fabulous…
are you saying we have grandma esthetics??
ok, next one, I'll take myself out of it as an answer. But who's the most fascinating person you've met?
Mindy...but, maybe only on Tuesdays.
I'll go with my Jane, who was one of my old bosses. Oh, just an amazing British woman who moved to America became like the mother of American advertising. She started advertising in America as we know it. And then her second chapter she like, rescued a tribe in northern Kenya and started a whole school system for nomadic tribes in Kenya.
He has all these stock answers that are really great!
Mine, do I have to say one particular person? Or can it be a type of person? Because, as you know, Mindy, I have creative crushes on like a billion people. So if there is someone who is a great artist, or they're a great writer, or they're a great Craftsman of any sort, I'm immediately in love with them, you know, and so that's that those are the most fascinating people with anyone who can create something out of nothing… I am fascinated by…Martha, Martha Of course. Yeah.
he's always had a huge crush on me. Yeah.
But like you said, there you've met many and just are fans of their work. whomever they are, right. Okay. Number 3. I feel like that owl...THREE.
What's your favorite place to travel to? And why? And I know that's gonna be a hard one for you guys as well. Oh my gosh, cuz, like me I me, we want to go over.
This is super easy for me because my favorite place to travel is the place I've never been. I never like to go to the same place twice. Because the world is such a big place. Not your backyard is a big place. You know, I just always like to be seeing something new and being inspired by something new.
In my life, my life goal is to walk into a restaurant and have somebody say do you want the regular? Like Yes, I do.
I love that.
Yeah, yes. So for me, I mean, I love to go back to the same place myself. South of France is one of my favorites and then Africa. I mean, Africa is a giant continent, but and we've traveled many places in Africa, but it always speaks to my soul every time I go
One of the things that I love traveling with you guys is where we are is like my new favorite. And then by the time the trip ends, it's like, okay, where are we going now? So, I really, yeah, I feel it. Okay.
People have to know that we have traveled on many international destinations with Mindy...
How many has it been?
I think five…?
you list them for me?
I think five, i mean listen...let’s not test the co-host, shall we? especially right after her 54th birthday! Okay. Anyway, this is about Brent and Josh, but thanks for playing. Okay.
When was the last time you cried?
Oh, god last night.
What do you watch?
ummm...It's only the baking show.
Great British baking show always makes me cry. You know I am just turning that into that old man. It can be a commercial. It can be a sappy Facebook meme. It can be anything. I'll go to tell Brent...
what was the story I was telling you?
OH, a Facebook, a fan of ours passed away after battling COVID-19 for the last three months... and I just couldn't even I couldn't even get the word out. I mean, he was a follower for a long time. I hadn't even actually met him. But you know, and I just, I just get very weepy.
And I'm the opposite. I very rarely cry.
Exactly. So I really want to know your answer!
my grandfather passed away last year and you know, it wasn't...it was interesting with him because it wasn't, you know, he was older he had Alzheimer's disease. So it wasn't that it was unexpected. But he was a deeply religious man. And, you know, evangelical, which is how I grew up in the Evangelical Church, as you know, and you know, he had waited his whole life. And just been so devout and like walking the straight and narrow, quoting the Bible to everybody on the street. And he has spent his whole life waiting for that promise that something like the rapture was going to happen. And like all of this sacrifice, he had made his whole life to be this good person. He was going to see the reward for it…
and he was a good person...he was a great person and he never saw that manifestation.
It made me so sad to think about that.
I think at the end, I'm sure he realized that he was what he manifested in his life with his wife and his kids and you... That was what that was the reward?
Yeah, I hope you found everything that he thought heaven
was, oh, I hope he found it.
Well, he grew up really poor. Okay, so there's Southern really poor, and he thought he made it he had a job at the local department store. And he had really made it when he could bring two banana sandwiches to work ––– not one, right?
one was making it, you know, getting by, but when he could bring two banana sandwiches he was the richest man on earth.
luxury. Okay, so you made me cry. So that's good. Oh my god. Last question. Do you have a hidden talent?
Well, I have many!
or something that you don’t that you don't readily share.
Well, I used to have a lot of hidden talents! and, i have shared them!
We shared a little of that in the intro! I mean, current. hidden. talents…
I can find four leaf clovers. Like,
oh, this is a good one.
I have a third eye.
I have you ever seen him do that?
I've ever seen him every day that I'm at the farm in the morning. He comes in with eggs and a four leaf clover here have a four leaf clover! Every. Single. Day.
Well, where's all your luck, Mindy??
I don’t know! let’s go! You're looking at it, I have manifested this...
What about you, Brent?
Oh, I don't know. I think so, I think a lot of people don't, you know, people who just know us from the company or you know, you know, more of our personal life, probably don't think I'm as much of the creative person, right? Because they think, oh, you're the doctor, and so you're the scientist and have an mba and all that.
And he's the business person. He's the creative person, and he's really the only one that works!
I love that you say that.
So having been behind the curtain of the oz known as Beekman 1802. I can say that it is the first thing Oh, cheers. It is the first thing that I say to people when asked about you guys, is that they truly don't know what a rock on tour and how hilarious Josh is. And they don't know how creative Brent which is kind of where we're going to go into you know our discussion of your creative process because I'm fascinated...while I've seen bits of it and moments of it. I'm curious to know both of your where you go for inspiration whether it's a memory, a person, Pinterest, because your development of products, but then also Josh and related to your cooking or any or your writing anything else you want to share. I'm just curious about what your creative process is and how you define it. Go!
Timer starts now!
Well, you know, my creative process really, it just comes from so many different places probably like you, you know, as an as an actor as well. You know, I could be looking at fine art, I could be looking at, you know, a comic strip. It just comes from so many different places, and it really just happens to be in the moment too, like I could, I could look at some sculpture. And it means nothing to me one day. And then two weeks later or two years later, I could see the same thing and depending on what has transpired during the first time I saw and the second time I saw it, and maybe what's even happening in my life at that particular minute that I see it the next time. I like the idea. And you know, that's how we're taught. I think a lot of creative people are that way. That's why creative people tend to gather around one another, because you get so much inspiration from other creative people. And you just, I mean, and you just feed off of it.
I looked like I’m slowly moving into the shadows….
I know you guys have to pivot the chairs, the sunsets. I know.
My creative. You know, you know what I...creativity is the most painful thing in the world to make...when I'm making a project I hate every second of it like I it's it's something about is the fear of failure it's yeah absolutely fear of failure like it's not going to be good it's not gonna be perfect so like I avoid it at all costs...
but, I know you torture over your projects. Yes?
Yes! And and honestly I'm at the point now in life in this next makes Brent upset sometimes where I really won't I won't try like I just I just because I know it's super painful and I won't do anything unless I'm really into it really really into it and cooking I can get really really into cooking in the moment and creating something.
also when we've talked about story ideas that you have our stories you want to write the actual sitting down and writing and creating is torturous for you but you, you are never at a shortage, my friend for I have a quip, for the right the right word.
I think that's a really good point. I have a lot of ideas and a lot of creativity and and I'm just getting to the point in life now where I'm like, you know what, it's really painful to chase all of them. So I'm just gonna wait until I'm really, really excited about one and then up, then I'll throw myself into the firing fiery pit of creativity. And I used to always have to do it. And then I would just always be in this panic mode.
Right? Is that come from the advertising you think? Or just just it's just is who you are. Period full stop no matter what you're doing...that sense of deadline or, or think it is who it is?
Yeah, I was always I was always creating something. And I was always afraid it wasn't any good. So So now I'm like, you don't always have to be creating something. Instead of I probably should have learned the lesson that it doesn't need to be good. Instead, I've learned that I don't always have to be doing something.
Well, I have to say one of the reasons I fall I fell madly in love with you as a couple. Yes, for both of you individually is very similar to what you were going off of what you said, Brent, I'd love you to elaborate a little more. But it's just like living life. Whether you're in the garden or you're traveling or you're with somebody or you're just doodling or you see something, there is this constant sense of wanting to...create.
I'm gonna unveil my theory of creativity for the first time ever, on Mondays with Mindy. All right?
It's an exclusive.
Yes, it is an exclusive and it's speak, speaking of my personal experience, but also I think of a lot of Gay Men's personal experience is that the reasons gay men tend to be more creative, just in general, is because we spend so much of our life, our early years of life, trying to convince people that we're not gay, or to come up with a strategy to show that we're not gay or, you know, somehow covering for the fact that we're gay. And I think that that just creates certain synapses and certain neurons in your brain. That always makes you trying to figure out a problem of some sort. And that's how I always look at creativity as a strategy. To figure out a problem, so it could either be how am I going to choose this right formulation for skincare product? Or how am I going to work with this artists and to create this product that I know will sell? It's always about a strategy problem. And that's really how I approach creativity. If you break creativity down into its core, that's always the case, you know, it's strategy like how am I going to communicate this message? How am I gonna convey this emotion on my face as an actor, it's, it's a strategy, you're thinking strategically.
Well, I really I relate to that. Because as not as a gay man, but as as an actor. I am very comfortable creating a parallel universe and make it very much a reality to live in. And I find comfort in it and creativity in it right and the freedom to create in that parallel universe. So that really resonated with me, I love that. But for me, it's sometimes what you guys come up with whether it's a pithy little sing about something or the deliciousness of developing instead of calling your customers, customers or guests or visitors, you came up with this “Hi, neighbor,” will you explain this? where that came from originated and how it's, it's still actually just so a part of the narrative of Beekman 1802.
so we honestly don't remember when we first started calling customers “neighbors.” We honestly we've we've tried to go back and look at different old emails and things we can't figure out.
I actually think I recall...I think it was when we first started on TV retail. And...
no, I don't think so.
I think that we had this idea of neighbors in our head. And we were always retelling the story of Beekman we would always say you know, our neighbors helped us start this company and we wouldn't be here without our neighbors. And I think it was on TV retail when we were telling this narrative and we said you know what, we consider all of you our neighbors too. And I think that's really when it became like really truly a part of Beekman 1802.
Well introducing that notion of “hi neighbor” but Josh, I really appreciate and it's so crazy because I actually really tried to live by what you say how you describe that sense of neighbor. And where that came from.
Okay, we've all heard you know, love thy neighbor, right. And in some somewhere when I was researching the word neighbor, I realized every religion has a phrase that's, that's says, love thy neighbor. It doesn't say love all mankind love everybody you meet love all the world. It says love thy neighbor. And in if you look at the original translations and things neighbor means a person close to you, or a person who you cross paths with. And I really love the idea that we're in this world right now where we're constantly bombarded with the whole rest of the world right now. We need to worry about everyone from refugees in Syria to protesters in Hong Kong to you know, starving people in Africa. And you know, what you can't is overwhelming.
But, if we can take care of the people who cross our paths, so if you can take care of your neighbor, and that neighbor takes care of his neighbor and that neighbor takes care of her neighbor, eventually, the whole world's cover because you're taking care of the person next to you. And so to me, that's what the idea is that we've got to get rid of this idea of, and we all we're all guilty of, we all sit on on our social media and think we're going to solve the world with the right tweet right?
Or that we think we're we're connecting with people it's so interesting during this time of COVID talking to mom and dad, and I'm sure you've had this with you know, talking to your family. This sense of everyone not looking at we used to how's my neighbor doing okay, how's my block doing? And now we're just so insulated that I just think it is not just refreshing Josh, but very meaningful to have that attached to a company.
we do feel that way about our customers. I mean, you know, our neighbors, the Beekman neighbors, they see it amongst themselves and during this during this time. This endemic time they check in on each other like it. I don't wanna say it's like a cult but it's almost like a cult. They're all they're all friends they don't like they could care less about Brent I at this point...
Hell, we’re just a picture on a wall.
We’re horrible cult leaders! They don't even need us!
I think this is a good opportunity for us to sort of thank our neighbors or the guests that are watching the show right now. So want to work in a little bit of business. If you guys don't mind, just reminding all of the neighbors that if they haven't already subscribed to our podcast, they can do so by heading to MondaysWithMindy.com.

And let's take a moment to acknowledge our sponsor and seeing as we don't have one yet. I've decided that this episode of Monday's with Mindy is sponsored in heart and mind by Beekman 1802. the kindest company beauty company on earth and because all the very best things in life come from goats look for their newest food products launching very soon including jams, hot sauce and other condiments. You didn't even know you needed but will not be able to live without Beekman 1802
not only do we have the honor of being the very first ever guests, on Monday with Mindy, but we have the very first ever commercial on Mondays with Mindy. That will never happen again!
now heading back into just discussing creative process etc. I think most people and and if you don't know it you can Google it. It's very easy because you both have been very generous about your trajectory. And Joshua's book has stories chronicling this kind of the change and creation of Beekman 1802. But I'm more curious about just the ins and outs of it and how you have been able to pivot. And I know, Brent, you talk a lot about this too, about surviving and thriving, not only in a recession, but just in general not to be swayed by what's happening in the outside world. But that, you know, you can create whatever you want to create, no matter what's happening. But I did want to start this kind of discussion about your trajectory, and where you're pivoting now and where the company's going by asking that, is there a failure you've had, either professionally or personally, that you've learned from?
Oh, yes. Oh, yes,
can we narrow this down?!
I just I'm just gonna curious what, what the biggest lesson you learned from whatever failure was big or small?
Yeah, I think from from the business standpoint, both of us would have the same answer, which would be we, several years ago were asked by target to create a collection of food products.
Yeah, we loved it, you know, it was great. We made 43rd products and we actually we actually...in like seven months, we filled an entire four foot shelf at Target from scratch.
And and what was even better was that we in the process, we create completely reimagined the food manufacturing process in America, because we were able to figure out for the first time how to pair bottling companies with small farmers in the areas of those bottling companies so that those smaller farmers became represented on the shelves of target. And then we gave 25% of all the profits back to help those small farmers pay off their mortgages. Yeah. And you know, of course, you know, target is a great company to work with. They're, they're great marketers. And so when we were telling our story, you know, they were all in it, you know, and they're like, Oh, it's gonna be amazing. And we want to do all of these things. Well, then…
But but the truth is, you can’t tell that that complicated of a story, you know, about small farms in us when someone's shopping for groceries, you know, runs at Target, right?
And, and nobody thought of that. Target thought of that, because you you're just so wrapped up in the story and the storytellers that you don't think Well, okay, how am I actually going to tell this story to the people, you know, you know, with three kids on their arm trying to get their groceries…
and it was truly a lesson and we bit off more than we could chew. It was it was a giant leap forward that we didn't have the funds or the team to support there was we probably had 10 employees at that point.
well i was really looking forward to that target money to keep me in the lifestyle in which I’ve become accustomed.
I remember as soon as we told Mindy about that project. She's like, oh, you're gonna have target money!
Mindy! describe, describe to people..people always see the outside of our house and they're like, Oh my gosh, is this beautiful Southern plantation looking thing
It’s a wedding cake house!
Describe, like your bathroom. In the guest room...
I can't, I won't. Because I know the story that I would tell which honestly, I'm gonna take to my grave. just woken up by a plumbing issue throughout the home! I really I still sometimes have a little bit of a nightmare. And I missed the whole thing. I slept through half of it!
Let's just say that the walls took on a different shade!
It’s a 220yr old house!
So that we will never have that problem because you are redoing the house by redoing the bathroom. Yes, I'm so excited to not be in a plexiglass...bowl!
But I think that's You know, that goes back to, you know, what we're saying about growing as a company and and for the first first 10 years we didn't have we didn't pay ourselves $1 you know, I mean, we tried to cover expenses, but beyond that we…
Yeah. And then we got our first paycheck and and now we're redoing our, you know, our bathrooms. I mean, think about we're the fastest growing Bath and Body company in America. And, and we have bathrooms where the wallpaper was peeling off the wall and the sinks were chipped.
So truly, it's one of the things we bonded over knowing how my dad started his business, right? I mean, and, and with that business that you invest back in it.
That's right. And, you know, we always say that, you know, we, because we were born out of a recession, we were always just very conscientious about money, and that you never spent a dime until you had made two dimes. And, you know, we really did lament, you know, the past, you know, 10 years seeing this kind of Shark Tank-ification.
I know people will be like oh I have an idea for socks with you know you pay for it yeah I'm gonna find somebody to give me money to and it's to I'm like we'll just make a few try to sell a few make a few more selfie more and see if it works.
That's how you build the foundation. Yeah.
yeah test the market.
Yeah. What about Josh as far as yeah test the market as far as I don't want to I don't want to linger on failure. But, Josh, is there another story??
Um, you want to put forward I guess it's because again, while I don't want to tell the story of your your guyses trajectory because it's you've been so free and easy about it and people can read about it and and hear about it in other in other gabs that you've had. But there really is something to be said about the and I was an eyewitness to the 13 hour days, six days a week that the outside world never saw for years. All you guys out there, I can attest years and years of work and toil and yes enjoyment in aspects of that. But really being daredevils.
Yeah, I mean, we, we took our own product photography, we learned, we learned how to take photos, we learned how to code, the website, we did all of our own, you know, email marketing, we, we, for years, it was two of us, and then three of us and then, you know, eight of us, you know, we thought we had it made when we when we could get health insurance, you know,
I think that's why the books are so incredible because I, I was always kind of had the most pride about those books because they really seem to be what you to not only as businessmen, but as a couple were about and are about and your stylists that it finally got to get in there as well. You want to talk about creating them?
I mean, the cookbooks and the cookbooks, the style book, the whole sense that you were able to, I mean, that's such a different world. If you think about it. From what you guys do do day to day?
Yeah, I mean, that was that was honestly a creative way of marketing. I mean, nobody makes money off of books, right? I mean, that you don't book publishing, it's not a big industry. But we couldn't afford to place ads, we couldn't afford to, you know, create content, and you know, that So, we're like, we just needed to pay for itself, we just need to create these, these books that don't lose money. And they became our ads, you know, that's, you know, the beautiful pictures, the lifestyle and, and so just getting that out there.
And I also think that, you know, again, because we were always trying to run the company on a shoestring. And we're always trying to find the best partners to help us tell the story and help us get our aesthetic and our philosophy on life out to the public. And so, you know, when we were starting out, we always tried to make sure that we chose partners that we thought could in just just a little bit further in terms of telling who we are, so You know, when we first started with the beauty products, we started with Henri Bendel and anthropology because we knew those stores could help tell and help us to find our aesthetic. And you know the same way with the cookbooks when we first started doing the heirloom cookbooks you know we partner with crystal for the silver the print silver company because we knew that they could help us to find the high low aesthetic that people know us for. So it's always about choosing those good partnerships and and people who really see the vision that you have and see how they can integrate into that vision I think that's I think that's still today while we look for
right but I guess for me just being you know your friend and fan looking back and seeing you go from soap and foodstuffs to these books, to then pivoting you know this kind of keep pivoting and and yes, the intention is to grow bigger or more successful, but really no one could have predicted what's happening to the company...now.
It's true. I think neighbors predict, you know, I think, you know, they tell you what they want. And then as a good business person, you give people what they want. And you know, I think even though from the very beginning, we considered ourselves a lifestyle company. You know, what people have told us is that we are a beauty company, and but a beauty company unlike any other beauty company, because it's not just about how you look or what your skin looks like, it's about how beautiful is your life? It's like a whole life beauty system. And so…
jI’m sorry I just had a look at my skin because I…
you're using your 18 plus 02 oil, so you look fabulous.
I am. Sorry to interrupt, but yes.
I just had to check myself
but and we really do think, you know, we think every step that we've made from the cookbooks to the failed, launch at Target in the food line. Like all of those things that we did, they were always the very best quality, they were always beautifully executed. And they were all leading up to helping people cultivate a beautiful life. And you know, to us, that's what beauty is. It's not just about what you're putting on your skin, or how you know, or how the world sees you. It's how you see yourself, and how you see yourself is your whole entire world. And that's our philosophy as a beauty company.
So when you two were little boys growing up, teenagers, young men, how, and if this doesn't apply to you, fine, but how does where you're come from and whom you were born to help to create that aesthetic, or did you develop it away from your family and away from your place of origin? I'm just really curious because I know that you guys have such incredible relationships with your family and your roots.
Yeah, we both we both have really wonderful supportive families. I mean, I wish I wish I had a hard luck story about my family, you know, like to pull out and show, but my family's really been great.
Well, I do think that, you know, our circumstances growing up, you know, we did have very supportive and loving families, but we were both on the lower, lower middle class spectrum growing up. And so I think when you grow up that way, you always have aspirations, and you're always looking for things that you think are prettier or more luxurious than the things that you have. And I think part of that kind of curiosity for those types of things came from our background and probably what propelled both of us to wind up in New York City for many years. And then in New York City, of course, we were both professionals. And had access to, you know, the very best of everything. And then you realize once you see the very best of everything that it's not really the very best of everything. And so then I think that's really when we came into our own. We're like, you know, some of those beautiful simple things that we grew up with. Those are the true quality and those are the true beautiful things. And then when you marry that with something that's completely exquisite on the other end of the spectrum, you know, something truly, absurdly luxurious. That's when things become really interesting when you marry those two perspectives. And I think that had we not grown up the way we had.
And we both grew up in rural areas. Yeah, I grew up in the Midwest, which is, you know, basic. Basically, the center of inferiority complex for all of America is like Midwestern gayboys. You know, like, we're like, anywhere is better than what where I am right now, which is now I know it's not true, but at the time, you're dreaming that this you know, this incredible world is out there and I have to tell this…
Mindy, you know, you know I had an obsession with TV growing up right you know like, right and every fall they would the network's would have these this shows of these like, 102 second commercials of all the stars on their network, like dancing together and singing together. And I was like, I don't know where that is. But all those people are friends in one spot, and they'd go out to parties and they must go out to lunch. And I was like, that's where I want to be. So in my head, like I was like, This is the world that I'm going I need to create...
and be a part of being a part of? See I was never that way.
I was just, you know, I used to tape. I used to film shows on our old video camera and tape record the sound. And then and you'd have to line up the tape recorder with the with the video to get the sound.
Well, I mean, going back to the aesthetic question, it's just that that's another thing I think just based on what the public public your public knows about you is certainly curated for for marketing purposes, I get that. But just on a personal level, you both have a very incredible aesthetic. You have incredible taste, and I'm just wondering if that's just a natural thing or that it developed for you or it's not just the finer things in life but your taste level when, when or how you write Josh, it's just very, I don't know, it's different from from what most people would see see as either rich or luxurious or whatever kind of word you want to use to describe the feel that you have walking into your house walking into the mercantile store. Your how your products are packaged, it's at a taste level. That is not normal.
It's, I don't think it's any better than lots of other people. There's certainly lots of beautiful things out there. I think for us, and probably what resonates with you and is that we're just very, I know the word authentic is way overused these days, but we're just ourselves. We're never trying to impress anybody else other than ourselves and making sure that we create something that we think is beautiful, and that people like it. We never set off creating something for the purpose of making someone else like it
we also know, like, what truly beautiful things are to us. Like, and I truly because because we lived in New York City, we've had we've seen the best of the best, you know, and, and we've also, you know, and we also grew up in Wisconsin, and you know, we didn't have much like the perfect ear of corn to me is as beautiful as...sculptural…yeah, as you know, a diamond necklace. It's it's, but but it has to be the perfect ear of corn, you know, there's there's perfection no matter what it is, and I think that's what we try to capture,
and you know, I think we're free to do that is because we have been for the amount of time that we've been, quote unquote, in the public eye. We've always been completely honest with ourself with with our struggles, you know, with, with the wars and everything that there's never been no artifice into anything that we're doing. And I think that comes through in the product like there's a very there's a truthfulness to the product. And I think that's, I think that's fortunate that we had lived our lives in a very open and honest way. And I think that came from, honestly from the very beginning of social media, like before social media became a career. You know, you were just putting yourself out there and you were showing what you were doing, you know, and, and we just, we came about at a time when social media was much a different place than it is and actually reality TV. We came into reality TV when it was in a much different place than it is now, when it was about the more documentary than the script, the scripted reality and I think that
I mean, I think I think, you know, I consider myself I think it's amazing one of our biggest accomplishment is that we haven't canceled yet, you know, like, all canceled culture. It's like, they'll find one thing that then just unravels everything you've ever done and hate you.
but I've always been afraid of, you know, if you're, if you're not honest about something, I think some people learn that some people don't if you if you start creating a web of artifice, eventually, you know, somebody pulls out a strand, it all comes apart. So I think we've just always been like, scrupulously transparent from the very beginning. And I think that's what, that's why we've been able to, you know, we've never been super famous. We've never been super successful. We've never been super unsuccessful. We never give up...
I'm going to take this moment to take another sponsor break. I look so forward to having a real sponsor soon so I can lend my voice over artistry, expertise them in the meantime, check out Beekman 1802 products. My personal top five favorites are the cleansing face wipes. The goat milk primer with sunscreen. The luxurious Beekman 1802 facial oil, the oh so necessary hand balm that I also use for my heels and elbows, FYI and of course my first love the all natural lip balm please visit Beekman1802.com to shop or use the link posted on our website MondaysWithMindy.com , Beekman 1802 not only the kindness company but my home away from home and whose logo is also tattooed on my ankle. No really. I have made it so I am the property and belong to these men for the rest of their lives. Beekman 1802.
I love it!
Kick up your ankle! Throw it up!
She’s very bendy!
You know what? That’s private!
and you know what we'll do is I'll take a photo and it will be up on the website when the when the podcast on on the website so all my glory…
I want to take this, you know last few minutes that we have together and I don't want to share too many secrets but something that isn't talked about enough in my humble opinion and I'm also just really curious about how you want to protect your privacy. I mean what I love about you as well which I we also talked about copious amounts is to be public figures in a way and and be out there all the time and have so many people know your business but also you have retained a sense of privacy. But I'd love to just have you speak on the two of you as a couple and not just as I'm you spend 24 hours a day together. And another reason I'm madly in love with you both, is that I grew up with a couple that is very similar to you both that is they’re, the beginning, middle and end of each other, and they don't need a lot of others. And that's very unusual. And so I wanted you guys to as much as you want to share about it, I find it I find your relationship to be one of the most beautiful I know and I've ever been a witness to and I just wanted to give you the freedom to sort of talk about it cuz you're not really asked a lot about the ins and outs and days day to day living of the two of you guys.
Well, that is a good question. We've never been asked that. And first let me say that we're completely honored to be compared to your parents because your parents are an amazing couple. And when Mindy is at the farm, she calls them like every day, and it's so nice. It's so joyful. Just Listen to her talk to them. It's just such a joy in it. And you know for
First of all, we're not brothers.
Does that drive you crazy?
It drives me nuts, I can only imagine what it does to you guys!
You know, I think for us, well, you know, we are completely fine being together 24 seven for the past 10 years we have been together 24 seven I know this pandemic and we're like what?? this is easy.
and here I think for me the reason Josh is just such a just a natural part of my like he is my other my other were attached is because, you know, I had moved to New York City to do my medical training. I had never dated a guy. Josh was the first guy I ever dated. And we've been together ever since. So my whole gay identity is Josh. Like I don't I don't have a gay world. Except, Josh.
Wow. Sad for you!
He has been able to become my gay world is because before me, he already had way all through the whole gay universe. Yes. And so he brought me all of those experiences. So I don't I don't need anything more. And, you know, I think we we come so cliche to say we complement one another, but we really do and...
well, you know, Brent...
his answer will be better than mine.
I mean, here's, I mean, the truth is, I don't know how to say this without sounding terrible, but I think we're both very competent people. I think we both, you know, have achieved a lot in life before we even met we achieved a lot in life. And I really respect Brent. I will never tell him that.
He’s not listening...until monday!
I know he can't hear.
Oh, these aren't earplugs.??
And he's really one of the few people that can tell me something that goes completely against what I've just said. And I'll actually listen to them. Yeah. And think, Oh, well, maybe maybe there's some truth to what he's saying. Again, I will never let him know in the moment that I'm listening to him. But he's one of the reasons really true truly one of the few people that that can have the opposite point of view of me and, and I'll give them the time of day. That make me sound terrible.
But do you think that has been was that from love at first sight or that as a reason? or because that is respect that is earned?
For you know, because for many, many years, I thought, Oh, no, you're just wrong. And I'm gonna have to show you why you're wrong. And I'm gonna teach you But now, like I 99% of the time, if you say something, I believe it.
Well, you you both have also just been through so much together and I've had to trust each other's views, opinions, how to move forward, how to pivot, all that stuff. By the way, the last time I cried, right Now, I love when you guys talk about each other. I really do. It's my most favorite thing anyway.
Let me just say, here's how I knew that, that we had had a good life was that when I turned 40, and I just turned 47. I knew at the age of 40, that if I died the very next day, I would be completely content. Like, because I knew in my soul that I had been with a person I loved more than most people, even if you are in love with someone, you don't get to spend 24 seven with them. So all of the minutes so many other people have to spread out over 20-30 years, we've already spent, you know, we've traveled all over the world. We've seen things that 99.9% of people will never see. And that's how you know you've done it right.
And that's when I took out the life insurance policy.
So romantic to talk about your 40th birthday and death!
Yeah, exactly no
it's not it's not just dead is contentment.
no I it's beautiful the way you said that and it's so it's so rare and also I just think it just you guys fight fair you're honest with each other you trust each other and then yes the love and all of that stuff but it really is something that based on your business and that the fact that you are the faces of part of it. I don't think people know about you and it's to me the most attractive thing about you both is each other, you know, and I'd love just being the throuple when I insert myself which sounded incredibly dirty. And so what happened on the farm stays on the farm.
People might not know we’ve all gone skinny dipping...multiple times.
I mean, not Christian. Sorry Christian.
We started, we started skinny skinny dipping at the farm. Because we didn't want to get we didn't want to clean the wash our bathing suits.
And where is the company going in the next year, anything you want to share or for nothing. Just putting it out there.
I mean, we have a major retail partner that we're announcing in July.
And if we if we weren't the very first guests on Mondays With Mindy we would be able to
welcome back we'll come back for the big announcement.
you know what, what is the next year look like for any of us? It's, you know, it's exactly it's really, really tough and we have an amazing team. Working with us at the
And you guys have been amazing to that team because everyone is still employed, am I correct in that?
we didn't lay off or furlough a single or single employee.
Yep. You know, we don't know what the next year is going to look like, but we're in as good a shape as we can be. And we always, you know, we started our company in the midst of the last big recession and we'll get through this one our company motto work hard, never quit help your neighbor. And we think if you do those three things, you get through anything.
Yeah. Great. Well, you guys, thank you so much. I you know how much I literally like, I need five versions of love. The word love like the, you know, Alaskans have five or 15 words for snow. For love. We do we should. God, here comes the musical portion of Mondays With Mindy, but but I want to thank you so much for gabbing about your creative process you continue and will always inspire me and I'm just so happy to be the tangential Trudy hanging Chad, on your life. Christian, maybe you have a little bit more understanding of what I just brag and fell as the Jews like to say over these two individuals.
I certainly do.
Wow, we just want to say we're honored to be the first guest on Mondays with Mindy it was it's great and I can't wait to hear other people's creative process and I hope they have them slightly more defined than ours.
Oh I I enjoyed this knock it off. Where’s that ego of yours that healthy ego oh my gosh, no one talks to me the way Brent Ridge talks to me. Right anyway, I love you both. So much. Send love to your families, please for me, do you know certain staff people that I have a certain affinity for?
We’ll pass it one.
when are you coming out, when's your next visit to the farm?
Hopefully this summer we're gonna see as far as like the travel bans and all of that I just really want to respect everything but I can't wait to get behind that mower.
and Mindy is a good push mower. And we have we have record another episode of Monday's with Mindy from the farm.
Oh my gosh...
gosh follow up follow up
definitely done. Oh have to have to be on location. And you know whether this makes it on or not. I do just have to give Brent a little shout out that Doug Friedman will be coming on Mondays with Mindy from his ranch at Marfa. Oh, we might have to one up him going on the farm. I think he needs to come to the farm to do his follow up too.
Yes. Anyway, I love you both. Thank you copious amounts. All right.
Thanks, congratulations on your first show.
Thanks for coming in. We appreciate it. All right, Mindy. That's season one. Episode One in the can and I think we did a pretty great job. What do you think?
Want to say a special thanks to Josh and Brent one last time, Beekman 1802. We'll have all the links all the show notes. Everything will be on the website that's MondaysWithMindy.com.

The official admin for a local community Facebook page has likened her role to that of a Sheriff in the Wild West, saying she is constantly having to weigh into petty disputes and deal with miscreants. The local woman – who requested strict anonymity – claims her role has become increasingly challenging and nuanced, after initially creating the group to just build a bit of community support and togetherness.
The admin says she knew she was in trouble within the first month, when a seemingly well-meaning post encouraging people to secure their personal belongings overnight spiralled into a rabid debate about the existence or non-existence of gang-related crime in the local area. She said, “My life is basically the Ron Burgundy ‘that escalated quickly’ meme over and over again. You just never know how many keyboard warriors are hiding in the shadows of the Interwebs waiting to pounce on some unsuspecting victim.”
In a broader context, she claimed that the last couple of years had caused her to lose just a little faith in human decency. She said, “Have you seen some of the things people write in the comments? These people are animals. And I’m constantly having to wade through that human soup of shame. I’m almost ready to hand my badge in. Seriously.” |
Was it just two days ago that the Filipino online community had their pitchforks out, ready to have Nuseir Yassin’s digital head on a pike? Since then, the Philippine online community has just erupted in a frenzy of hot takes and allegations, followed by counter-allegations, and—thankfully—a nascent conversation about our need for Western validation.
Over the past couple of days, the issue has taken over Philippine Facebook and Twitter, overtaking any comments Metro Manilans may have about our return to Enhanced Community Quarantine status.
So, a recap (deep breath): Nas Academy, the masterclass offshoot of Nas Daily, put up page for Whang-Od Academy, an online course featuring videos of traditional tattoo artist Whang-Od, but was forced to take it down after Grace Palicas called them out for allegedly failing to secure Whang-Od’s fully informed consent.
After both the Whang-Od Academy and Grace Palicas’ post were taken offline, Nas Daily replied with a statement that emphasized both their love for the Philippines and the fact that nearly half the Nas Daily team was made up of Filipinos.
That was just the beginning of the all-out war on the content creator, however, as social entrepreneur Louise Mabolo called out Nas Daily for its “neocolonialist narratives” as she recounted her own experience trying to shoot a one-minute Nas Daily video for the content creator. This was supported by a post from her father, the mayor of San Fernando in Camarines Sur.
Nas Daily wasn’t going to let that be the last word, however. In an uncharacteristically un-cheery post on the Nas Daily Tagalog Facebook page, the digital juggernaut countered Louise’s version of the events with their own pretty serious allegations.
“I have also kept my silence for 2 years out of respect to you. But I can’t let you share falsehoods on the Internet for free,” the apparently personal message from Yassin begins. “To my biggest sadness and surprise, your story was not true on the ground. Once we arrived at your plantation, once we saw the village and talked to the farmers, we came to the conclusion that there is no story here…Our investigation has made it clear that your story in the media is false. And that there are no ‘200 farmers’ that you work with, and there are no Cacao plantations that you don’t personally profit from.”
Nas Daily feels so strongly about Mabulo’s story that they went on the offense first before bothering to breathe a word of defense. Calling The Cacao Project “fake news” is pretty serious, even if the post does end with, “Hopefully one day, I can come back and tell your story again. You are, after all, an inspiring individual.”
However, more voices have added to the conversation, in the Facebook equivalent of the Spider-man meme. Notably there was a former classmate who dove straight into the fray, calling out Louise’s call out and going after her agricultural cred:
Is that the end of that? Oh, my sweet summer child, it is not. Another post, apparently from someone who also works in the agricultural industry, called out the call out to the call out.
There’s another reply to that (of course), but let’s abandon that thread to get back to the original aggrieved party, Whang-Od, and the issue of her contract with Nas Academy. Marlon Bosantog, a lawyer who serves as the regional director of the National Commission on Indigenous People for the Cordillera Autonomous Region, presented his legal opinion, pointing out that “the Kalinga community had made known their claim on certain tattoo designs as belonging to the entire Indigenous Community…Indigenous Peoples have Intellectual Property claims to cultural expressions and there are issues of cultural intellectual property that intersect in the art of Apo Whang-od.”
And so, he says, “Bandying on social media a contract is not a proof of compliance. The NCIP will make our review and onsite validation and interview, whether the Free, Prior, and Informed Consent process should have then implemented on this incident.”
Thankfully, Whang-Od’s complaints are addressed, but there is another comment from the sidelines that deserves attention. This post from “Lost Juan”, an aspiring vlogger following in his friend Nas’s footsteps, recounted his experience at the shoot with Louise Mabulo—and about his larger experience with Nas Daily in general.
Writing in Filipino, Lost Juan narrates his long friendship with Yassin, beginning in 2017 when “he was not so popular that time”. Though he pretty much confirms that “we arrived to nothing that we were expecting to see [in San Fernando, just seedlings and small cacao plants.”
But he also recounts the many times he helped Nas Daily out: “I even decided to paint my whole apartment with his mural and many more just to welcome him back in our country…It came to the point that I was asked to leave my place of residence because most of the videos we made, when we needed a lot of people, were done at my place because the parking lot was spacious in our place in Makati.”
Lost Juan stresses that he never asked to be paid for his work, because he treated Yassin as a friend. “But everything changed when he became famous. He changed from a simple person to someone whose agenda I no longer know…I’ve been slowly disappointed whenever I ask for help or support when I started out [as a vlogger] and he never lent a hand.”
And that’s more than one minute, folks.

The Adler method is a very famous and practical way of helping parents deal with their kids behavior and set them up for a happy and successful life.

This also might involve having the child or student sit in a time out, or remain alone until their teacher can deal with the inappropriate behavior.

♥ Magical Mint & Navy DIY Farm Wedding ♥
Lindsay and Ben grew up in neighboring rural, small towns in central Massachusetts. For their mint and navy DIY farm wedding they mixed rustic, utilitarian elements with handmade, whimsical and artsy details by incorporating a lot of personal touches including napkins cut and handsewn by the bride. They filled the day with shades of mint, navy, gold and wooden accents. The couple chose a farm wedding because Ben grew up on the farm where they now live. They are such a perfect match that they wrote basically the same vows for each other separately and they didn’t even know it!
Photographers, Daphne and Dean, who bring us today’s absolutely beautiful photographs, told us that Lindsay and Ben had the most perfect wedding at Tyrone Farm: “If you’ve never been to Tyrone Farm then you’re seriously missing out – the barn is adorable and the family that runs it is just lovely. We were all lucky to have such a beautiful day for a wedding (although it rained right before the ceremony so it wound up being under a tent, but the rained stopped almost immediately!) and we loved all of the personal touches that Lindsay and Ben added. “
“I’m pretty free spirited,” shares Lindsay,” while Ben is more logical so there were a lot of light, whimsical touches for me balanced by bold, rustic touches that are more Ben’s taste. We used branding across the wedding using a monogram logo that Ben’s cousin created for us. We hand picked a selection of craft beers and cider for the bar service and ask our catering company to skip traditional wedding food and served rustic, comfort foods & appetizers instead.”
Mint and Navy DIY Farm Wedding
Mint and Navy DIY Farm Wedding
Love Story: Ben & I went to high school together but it was only after graduation that we just kind of clicked. Over the next 8 years we started appreciating the things about each other that made us seem so different, we supported each other through family losses, college and grad school, we moved in together and things just kept getting better and better. One weekend, we took a mini vacation to Portland, ME… it was lightly snowing one morning and Ben decided he wanted to go look out over Casco Bay. By the time we got out there, we were in the middle of full blown blizzard, but Ben still thought I should look through the view finder out toward the water. I guess I spent too long chattering about how little I could see, because Ben just said, “Linds, turn around.” and there he was… one knee buried in the snow, being pelted with gail force winds, and he asked me to marry him.
Planning time: About a year
Bridal Style: I wanted a dress that would feel special and little unexpected, but still like me. I was looking for something fitted but with a soft and relaxed feeling, and something a little bit vintage. Mine was an ivory lace dress with a mermaid silhouette and a sweetheart neckline. It had a low back with fabric covered buttons. I wanted messy, braided, bohemian hair with flowers and I was really happy with the way it all came together.
Wedding Bouquet: I wanted bouquets that would give a pop of color and contrast with the cool tones in the bridesmaids’ dresses but still feel sophisticated. I also wanted the form to feel whimsical, relaxed and collected, almost like gathered wildflowers. I asked for lots of fun greens & herbs mixed in as well and Whim totally delivered. We had eucalyptus, and olive branches, garden roses, ranunculus, and big, beautiful dahlias.
Bridesmaid Styling: The bridesmaids wore mix and match long chiffon dresses in 3 different shade of mint. We used 2 different companies (Donna Morgan & After Six) to get the colors we wanted and the girls chose whatever style they liked the best. They styled their own jewelry and shoes sticking with gold, white, mint, & navy to keep things cohesive. I loved their bouquets! Moira, from Whim did such a fantastic job… I had asked for smaller versions of my bouquet, but had shown her pictures of vegetables included in centerpieces that I thought were so fun and quirky and perfect for a farm wedding- she surprised me with a baby cabbage in each of the bridesmaids bouquets, it was one of my favorite things about the flowers.
Groomsmen Styling: The groomsen’s outfits were also mix & matched… They wore grey suit paints & vests, with navy check shirts and navy ties. Ben made a special request for the boutonnieres. He and his two best men are huge hockey fans, so he ordered some navy hockey captains patches online and we asked Whim to include them into those three boutonnieres. Ben wore C for “captain”, and the best men wore A for “alternate captains”.
Groom Style: Ben wore suit pants and a vest from Men’s Warehouse, a navy check shirt from Nordstrom, and a navy tie. He had hoped to wear the matching suit jacket for the ceremony, but it ended up being way too hot on the day. He skipped it and stuck with the vest – he looked so handsome.
Wedding Ceremony Details: We chose vintage books to write our vows in and Ben’s grandfather carried those into the ceremony for us. Our parents and friends sent Mary Kay funny stories and memories of Ben & I dating which she read to our guests – those made for lots of laughter and some happy tears.
To incorporate my family we tied a sailor’s knot because my dad grew up in a lake house that had been in my family for generations and we’ve all spent many summer days sailing and swimming there.
For ceremony decorations we kept things fairly simple… we stacked milk crates from Ben’s family’s farm and tucked in some flowers. My dad helped me make some signage for the space, arrows leading to the ceremony, a sign reminding guests that we were having an unplugged wedding, and I wrote “Home is wherever I’m with you” on a sign that was hung across the aisle as guests arrived.
We lined the aisle with swags made of torn fabric in shades of mint. Originally our ceremony space was supposed to be under a tree, but we got rained out at the last minute and had to move the ceremony under a tent. We hung bunting under the tent that was dip-dyed yellow ombre and there were cafe lights that made the tent feel really cozy and warm despite the grey skies outside. I ended up loving the ceremony space so much more under the tent – it was really intimate, we had a beautiful field of wildflowers behind us, and about half way through the ceremony there were dozens of dragonflies that went crazy flying around in the field – it was like magic, we couldn’t have planned it any better.
Wedding Readings: I (Lindsay) am a Children’s Librarian and have an art background, so I love picture books. Love Monster by Rachel Bright is the cutest story about unexpected love. The story reminded me of Ben & I’s love story and we wanted our ceremony to be original and a little bit playful. We asked two of our close friends to do the reading for us, Amanda read the story and her husband, Zach, held the book and turned the pages so our guests could see the illustrations.
Guest book: We hired a photobooth for fun during the reception – it was never supposed to be used for our guestbook… but after going back and forth about a few other ideas we decided last minute to have guests add their photos to a scrapbook and write us little notes. Seriously, the night before the rehearsal I ran to the craft store & bought gel pens, washi tape, a scrapbook and kraft paper… and I’m so happy I did because that book is one of our favorite mementos from the night.
Seating Chart: We brought in the watercolor touches in the seating chart/escort cards. We displayed them in vintage drawers that were flea market treasures I’d been saving for years. I also painted a banner and wrote “do sit, darling” with watercolors as signage for the display… the saying was something I’d seen on Pinterest and it just made me giggle.
Reception Details: The flowers for our reception were DIY. Whim cleaned and prepped a bunch of gorgeous flowers, olive branches, rosemary, mint and other greens that coordinated with the bouquets and my friends and I spent some time the day before the wedding creating the centerpieces. The vessels for the flowers were milk bottles from Ben’s farm – they were left overs that were in a barn on the property from back when they were bottling milk on site! They have the name of the farm and our last name printed on them, it was such a cool touch (this was one of the details that we knew we wanted to include from the beginning).
We hung signage and white bunting in the barn. For table decor we had navy table cloths, mix& matched china, vintage books in the centerpieces and watercolor table numbers. Because of budget and my love for fiber art I ended up making our napkins with the help of my bridesmaids… I bought a big bolt of fabric for $1.99/yard, cut it into squares, stitched the edges, and then spent a saturday with the girls and batch of sangria dip-dying them yellow ombre. We love craft beer & Ben spent a lot of time working with our bar service to pick out a great beer selection – so we had pint glasses custom made as favors with a logo designed by Ben’s cousin Curtis (who also designed our wedding invitations http://www.curtwayne.com/). This logo was also featured on a sign that Ben painted and hung behind our table at the reception and the corn hole set he built.
Our cake topper was an etsy find that said “you are my favoritest”… it’s what Ben & I used to say to each other early on in our relationship before either one of us was brave enough to say “I love you”. For desert we had cider donuts & pies from our local orchard, cookies baked by Ben’s aunt, ice cream from a family friend’s creamery & dairy farm, and Cakettes, which is a local company making cake balls.
Hanging over the table was a chalkboard with that read “I don’t have a sweet tooth, I have sweet teeth” – something my Meme’re used to say all the time to remind us how much she loved desert. Tyrone Farm had a little fire pit outside the barn, so we made little kits for making s’mores and provided blankets to keep warm with.
- Processional: Ben & the bridal party walked in to the Vitamin String Quartet version of “Don’t Stop Believing” which created such a cool energy, it was such a pump-you-up, feel-good song.
- Brides Entrance: I walked down the aisle to the Across the Universe version of “I Want to Hold Your Hand” which my cousin, Nick, played acoustically on his guitar. It was so special for so many reasons, my dad and I have forever loved the Beatles together and Nick & I have always been close, so for him to have a part in the ceremony meant a lot to me – he also worked really hard to figure out how to play it just right.
- Recessional: “Home” by Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros was our recessional song, and we got pelted with confetti (dried flowers & oatmeal) on our way back down the aisle.
- Reception Entrance: Our bridal party walked into the reception to “Jackson” by Johnny Cash and we walked in to “Everlasting Light” by the Black Keyes because that song is so romantic, one of my favorites and I think describes our relationship better than anything.
- First Dance: Our dances were also pretty sentimental – our first dance was “Hey There Delilah” by Plain White T’s and is a throw back to driving around in my car the first summer we spent together.
- Father Daughter Dance: I danced to “Surfer Girl” by the Beach Boys with my dad (we used to listen to that while spending endless hours driving to and from soccer games when I was a kid)
- Mother Son Dance: Ben & his mom danced to “Dream a Little Dream of Me” by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong.
Advice for Brides:
- Don’t worry about things you can’t change or control. Someone being a pain in the neck? Projects left unfinished? Weather? You can’t do anything about it! So let it go, make a rain plan, put on a smile and remember that at the end of the day you’re still going to marry your best friend.
- Do your best to take it all in… because you blink and it’s over. Give your family a hug, dance with your friends, give your spouse a kiss and enjoy it.
- Sometimes it’s cheaper to buy than to rent and for the rentals you do need… carefully look through the list before you give the go ahead to your catering company. We bought our tablecloths and vintage dishes, and axed unnecessary rentals (no need for a bread and butter plate, my bread can sit on my salad plate, thank you very much).
- Also I looked through the rental options and made changes where I could. For example, I swapped out the recommended glass irish coffee mugs for white ceramic coffee cups. Aesthetically, they were so much better and about thirty cents cheaper a piece. It all sounds a bit nit picky, but because we took the time to price our options and source alternatives, we ended up saving hundreds of dollars.

Taking some liberties, I have adapted the phrase to describe a similar situation, in which “leaders” act in ways that demonstrates a lack of understanding about what those they are leading want to see happen. In some ways, it is the failure of “leaders” to understand the meaning of “servant leadership,” which is a far nobler way to describe the role and responsibilities of those who are elected or appointed to positions of leadership.
In this instance, I am referring to the silly decision by the current Administration to defer payroll taxes for the rest of 2020, an action I have criticized in posts such as Tax Policy by Dictatorship and Muddying the Tax Waters: When Certain Members of Congress Are Frightened. Many commentators have also explained why this action is unwise, and have pointed out the many technical and logistical challenges presented by an idea that was not well thought through past the theory stage. The practical problems are significant.
Because of the many practical problems presented by this foolish decision, and wary of being held liable for making up the deferred taxes with respect to employees whose employment ends before the employer has a chance to withhold the deferred payroll taxes, many employers are declining to stop withholding the payroll tax. In Thanks, but no: Small businesses shun payroll tax deferral, Joyce M. Rosenberg shares the reaction of company owners who have declined to go along with the current Administration’s desperate attempt to close barn doors after the horses have escaped. Payroll tax deferral, of course, does nothing for the unemployed who are in the most need of help. Employers who care about their employees also worry about the consequences of their workers being slammed with a doubling of their payroll tax withholding in early 2021 when there is no promise that their financial situation will give them capacity to absorb that hit.
One employer noted that the deferral isn’t really a tax break because the “money is still due by April 30” of 2021. He is correct that it is not a tax break, despite the attempt by the current Administration to con people into thinking that this deferral is a “tax break” for the rank-and-file worker. Other employers point out the lack of guidance leaves them at risk of being forced to pay large lump sum amounts to the Treasury. In several states, state law puts employers in dicey situations with respect to cutting take-home pay in 2021 to make up for the omitted withholding. Still other employers wonder if employees have an option of electing into or out of the deferral, whether the decision rests with the employer, or whether an employee or union vote can be binding on all employees. Employers also point out that the administrative effort required to implement a four-month deferral isn’t worth the distraction from the more important long-term planning and operation of their businesses. Anecdotally, some employees don’t want the deferral because they, too, are wary of what the future will bring. A major payroll processing company, which says it is “ready to adjust its computer systems to stop withholding the tax if companies request it,” notes that “so far, there’s little interest” in cutting back the payroll tax withholding.
Perhaps increasing numbers of people are realizing that con game gimmicks are best avoided in the same way emails from alleged Nigerian princes and phone calls from law enforcement imposters should be. Sometimes what appears to be a good thing is only a good thing for the person making the offer and brings nothing but sorrow and devastation to the alleged beneficiary of the gimmick. Hopefully even more people realize that this stunt is just the testing of the waters for a permanent elimination of payroll taxes and the eventual destruction of Social Security and Medicare.

At first reading, it appeared that yet another tax return preparer had been indicted. Indictments of tax return preparers is becoming more frequent, and though I discussed one in 2009 in Tax Fraud Is Not Sacred, there have been three indictments this year that I have described in Another Tax Return Preparation Enterprise Gone Bad, More Tax Return Preparation Gone Bad, and Are They Turning Up the Heat on Tax Return Preparers?.
Curious, I searched and found a local Las Vegas news report that shed more light on the indictment. Bradford is described in the story as a developer, who had recently been involved in developing a property near the Las Vegas Raiders practice facility. The story also noted that he is a certified public accountant. So is he a developer who prepares tax returns? A tax return preparer who got into real estate development? According to this web site, he heads a firm of construction engineers. According to the Relationshipscience web site, he also is president of MVP REIT, Inc., and has served on the board of Vestin Group, Inc., which according to Bloomberg is a real estate fund managing firm that “offers real estate loans for commercial, construction, acquisition and development, land, and residential sectors.” The reference in the news release to “others” suggests that this is a more complicated case than a tax return preparer entering false information on tax returns. How entangled it is remains to be seen. . It does seem, though, that there is yet another reason to think that the IRS and Department of Justice are turning up the heat on tax return preparers.

Reactions to this statement have included denial that he said it, claims that he was referring to the deferred 2020 payroll taxes, claims that if carried out the plan would terminate Social Security, arguments that there are insufficient general fund revenues to make up for the loss of payroll tax revenue, and assertions that repealing the payroll taxes will cause the economy to recover so strongly that the government will be awash in revenues that can be used to replace the lost payroll tax revenue. No one seems to be paying attention to the impact of payroll tax repeal on Medicare, but perhaps someone has and it just hasn’t come to my attention.
Of course he said it. Of course he wasn’t referring to the deferred 2020 payroll taxes. Those claims are attempts by his cronies to walk back a proposal that any sensible, clear-headed, carefully thinking American knows would rip apart an essential fabric of American society. Those claims arise out of fear that voters will react to what might appear to be a premature revelation of true intent.
What about the claim that repealing a tax will generate at least as much, if not, more revenue that the repealed tax generated? It’s just another version of the myth that cutting taxes increases tax revenue by at least the amount of the repealed tax. That hasn’t happened. Would repealing the payroll tax terminate the Social Security program? Technically, no, because, according to the Social Security Administration, there are enough funds in the social security trust funds to continue making payments for roughly another three years. But then what? Does the funding of social security become a political football every year? Does it get held hostage every time Congress cannot agree to a budget? Do payments get suspended every time the government “shuts down”?
As the allegations and denials spread throughout news outlets and social media, two members of Congress wrote a letter to Stephen Goss, Chief Actuary of the Social Security Administration. Charles Grassley, chair of the Senate Finance Committee, and Kevin Brady, ranking member of the House Ways and Means Committee, both Republicans, chastised Goff for “using [his] office for political purposes.” Specifically, they objected to the fact that Goss replied to a question from three Senators asking the Social Security Administration to analyze “hypothetical legislation” that would eliminate the payroll tax. Grassley and Brady argued that the “hypothetical legislation” did not exist because it “has not been proposed by anyone and has never, to our knowledge, been proposed or referred to the Senate Finance Committee or Committee on Ways and Means, at least in modern history." Duh. That’s why it was described as hypothetical and was not a reference, for example, to a pending bill. What’s so terrible about asking for the consequences of legislative action even if no bill has been introduced? Grassley and Brady provide the answer in their letter, “The intention behind the Senators’ inquiry was clear: argue that the President would ‘terminate’ payroll taxes that fund Social Security, leaving the trust funds without that important source of revenue, and then argue that the President and others want to destroy Social Security.” Exactly. The inquiring Senators want the American public to understand the consequences of what the current President has proposed. Waiting until a bill is introduced, after the election, would prevent voters from having information that is critical to their decision making. Though Grassley and Brady are correct that “no one has proposed the legislation” to repeal the payroll taxes, certainly the current President has announced his intention to have someone do so on his behalf if he is re-elected. Because Grassley and Brady are among those with a vested interest in the re-election of the current President, and surely fear the consequences of a different outcome, they are keenly aware that the current President’s proposal, if not deflected or hidden behind smokescreens and mirrors, is damaging to their political agenda.
The letter also contains allegations about previous reports by the Chief Actuary being partisan with respect to issues having nothing to do with the payroll tax proposal. It also suggests that questions could be posed by other “hypothetical legislation” reflecting suggestions made years ago about other aspects of the Social Security program. These deflections do nothing but muddy the tax waters. The innuendo, to use their word, tries to conflate a simple question about an outrageous proposal with other issues raised by the letter writers in an attempt to distract people’s attention with some “whataboutism.” It highlights their anxiety about the damage being done by the revelation of what the current President and his allies and cronies want to do.
Grassley and Brady express annoyance that the response by the Goss to the question “provided fuel for the ensuing misleading political messaging that was the most likely desired outcome of the Senators’ inquiry on their ‘hypothetical.’” Of course. Truth always provides fuel for discourse. Why would Grassley and Brady prefer that the Chief Actuary of the Social Security Administration NOT explain to Americans the consequences of the current President’s proposal? The answer is simple. They do not want people to know the truth if the truth stands in the way of their agenda. They go so far as to claim that the question posed to Goff refers to a proposal that “does not correspond to any proposal by the Administration.” Of course it does. What the current President said is clear and unquestionable. He wants to repeal the payroll taxes. The question posed asked about the consequences of repealing the payroll taxes. Perhaps if Grassley and Brady don’t like the answer, they can ask themselves why they are defending a person whose proposal generates answers they don’t like, and that they know a great number of Americans don’t like. Or perhaps it’s not that they don’t like the answer, but that they fear the consequences of everyone else knowing the answer, and understanding the reality of what the current President plans to do if re-elected.

The order prohibited the reassessment from changing the total revenue raised by each of the affected taxes, which are the county real property tax, the municipality or township real property tax, and the school district real property tax. In other words, the tax RATE would be decreased to the extent the total fair market value of assessed properties INCREASED.
Here is an example. Suppose the total assessment of properties in the taxing jurisdiction before reassessment was $100. Suppose the tax rate was 5 percent. The revenue would be $5. If after the reassessment the total assessment of the properties is $150. To maintain total revenue of $5, the tax rate would be reduced to 3.33 percent.
When the reassessment was announced, and notices published on web sites, mailed to property owners, and discussed in newspaper and other articles, it was made very clear that the tax rate would need to be reduced because the overall assessments were expected to increase. And now that the reassessment is complete, aside from appeals, indeed the total assessment of properties has increased. That was bound to happen, because overall properties had been underassessed compared to fair market value.
Once the reassessment was complete, the county sent each property owner a notice of the new assessment. Technically, the county sent several notices with opportunities for property owners to challenge underlying facts, such as the size of the parcel, the number of bedrooms, and similar characteristics. After that part of the process ended, the county sent the final reassessed value, with provisions for appeal if the property owner disagreed.
It didn't take long for expressions of unhappiness to pop up on neighborhood social media sites. Some property owners complained, paraphrasing, "My assessment went up so my taxes will go up." Several property owners complained about jurisdictions having "extra money" to spend. Despite attempts by others to explain the reality, some people continued to argue that the explanations were not true facts.
One point that had been made consistently throughout the process was that the real property tax for a particular property could end up increasing, decreasing, or staying the same, depending on the change in the tax rate and the change in assessment for a particular property. How can that happen?
Here is an example. Suppose there are five properties, subject to a hypothetical rate of 5 percent:
|Property||Former assessed value||tax|
So the total assessed value is 870, and the total tax revenue is 43.50. Now suppose these are the new assessments:
|Property||New assessed value|
The total assessed value after reassessment is 1130. To maintain revenue at 43.50, the new tax rate must be set at 3.85 percent (after a slight rounding). Therefore, the new amount of tax for each property, compared to the pre-reassessment tax, is as follows:
|Property||New assessed value||New tax||Old tax||Change|
So of the five properties, taxes have increased on two and have decreased on three. Though the arithmetic can be a bit tedious for some, it is troubling that two basic principles cannot be understood. With the prohibition against using reassessments to increase total revenue, the idea that taxing jurisdictions will have “extra money” is contrary to logic and common sense. Similarly, the mere fact that the assessment on a property has increased does not mean that the tax will increase, because until the new rate is set, the required computation to make a comparison cannot be done. This, too, is a matter of logic and common sense. Too many people either lack one or both of these traits or simply refuse to make use of them. One need not understand quantum physics to understand the basic principles, and examples, of the reassessment process. Put another way, jumping to conclusions without having all the facts, or having the facts but failing to perform critical analysis, is dangerous in so many ways. These flaws, insufficient or erroneous information and failure to think rather than respond emotionally when emotion is irrelevant, are two of the underlying causes of many of the problems troubling the nation.

But even at the peak of my tax involvement, and even now, no, just no, I will now wear this, I will not buy this, I will not desire this. But I won't laugh at anyone who does.
The truth, easily discernable by anyone willing to expend a bit of intellectual energy, is that Biden’s tax plan focuses on people earning more than $400,000 annually. The vast majority of Americans earn less than that amount.
So why do people start and spread these untruths? The answer is simple. Fear. Fear plays out in two ways.
First, there are those who fear losing and who therefore make statements that they think will reduce their chances of losing. It’s a pattern one sees in many young children, who, when confronted by a parent or other authority, deny whatever it is they have done because they fear the punishment. If and when the child learns that the punishment for lying is orders of magnitude greater than the punishment for whatever was done, the child might decide that the better course is to tell the truth and then argue a defense. “I didn’t take the cupcake” becomes “Yes, I did take the cupcake and here’s why it was necessary.” Perhaps that is how some youngsters decide to become lawyers.
Second, there are those who fear something or someone and who thus become easy victims of the liars and con artists. Most people, especially those who are struggling financially, not only object to tax increases but fear them, or, more specifically, fear the impact of higher taxes on their lives. What better way to get their attention and control their behavior, including voting decisions, than to play on that fear? “Don’t vote for this person because they are going to increase your taxes” might be a lie but it works if the people to whom it is addressed are too intellectually lazy to do some research that will reveal the mendacity of the statement.
Most fear arises from ignorance. Yes, there are some situations that are real and understandably trigger fear. But too often people fear something that would be worthy of fear if true but that is simply the fear monger using a lie in an effort to evoke a response, whether as a prank, as an effort to control a person or someone’s behavior, or as a political move. Education, research, and critical thinking can dispel most fear. But too many people let their emotion of fear push aside the intellectual aspect of their humanity. Fear should be reserved for those things truly deserving if fear.
In the long run, it’s much easier to tell the truth. Too many people, unfortunately, have not learned that lessson.

A few days ago, in a MarketWatch opinion piece, Alicia H. Munnell addressed a question posed by the headline, “Should we rethink how we tax Social Security benefits?” My answer is, as it has been since 1983, when the inclusion of some social security benefits were first included in gross income, a resounding “Yes.” Of course, the more important question is, “How?”
Munnell suggests that the model for taxing social security benefits should be how 401(k) plans are taxed. Yet she also concludes that no more than 50 percent of social security benefits should be taxed. She bases this conclusion on two facts. First, the portion contributed by the employer into the social security trust fund is not included in the employee’s gross income. Second, the portion contributed by the employee, which equals the portion contributed by the employer, is included in the employee’s gross income.
Munnell, however, misses a third, very important fact. She includes in her analysis on the difference between the taxation of traditional 401(k) plans and the taxation of Roth 401(k) plans. In the traditional plan, the employee is not taxed on employee contributions to the plan, and is taxed on the amounts withdrawn during retirement. In the Roth plan, the employee pays tax on what is contributed to the plan and does not pay tax on the amounts withdrawn during retirement. Here’s the catch. Even though the contributions to these plans earn income from whatever investments the plan makes, because the plans are tax-exempt, no taxes are paid while the plans are earning income on the accumulated contributions. In the traditional plan, that investment income is taxed when it is included in the amounts that are withdrawn. In the Roth plan, that investment income never gets taxed. To me, that is a flaw. Munnell also claims that if the tax rate does not change between the working years and the retirement years that the tax treatment of the traditional Is “equivalent.” However, not only does this claim ignore the non-taxation of the investment income in a Roth plan, it also ignores the time value of money, because deferring the tax payment until retirement is itself a benefit to the employee.
Determining the appropriate amount of Social Security benefits that should be taxed must begin with the definition of gross income. Simply put, gross income is the amount of a person’s income. Income is the person’s increase in economic wealth that has been clearly realized, and it is included in gross income unless it qualifies for a specific exclusion from gross income. Putting aside the niceties of what “clearly realized” means, a concept that students in a basic tax class struggle to comprehend and that requires deep, intensive reading and analysis of more than a few cases, and that in the context of social security is more a matter of timing than anything else, to the extent a social security recipient receives more than what the recipient contributed that was already taxed, the recipient has gross income.
It is easy to determine the extent to which a social security recipient has gross income. The question is timing. And that question is easily answered. Suppose a social security recipient contributes $50,000 to social security over a working lifetime. Basic tax law principles dictate that the recipient should not be taxed on the first $50,000 received in social security benefits. Thereafter, all of the payments should be taxed. It’s that simple. The key, of course, is knowing how much the person has contributed. The Social Security Administration has a record of that information. So why wasn’t that approach adopted? The official explanation was that the information was not available or, at best, not easily retrieved by the Social Security Administration. Whether or not that was true 37 years ago – I don’t think it was – it certainly isn’t the situation today. The real reason in 1983 was the need for revenue, to offset the adverse consequences of the 1981 tax cuts, and the approach I advocated would delay revenue from the taxation of social security benefits for several years as people simply recovered what they had paid in. Granted, it would have been a bit more complicated than that, to deal with the fact that some people already receiving social security benefits would have already received what they contributed and would be immediately subject to tax. But the simple approach I championed was rejected in favor of what was a more complicated gyration of computations made even worse a few years later.
There is another flaw in the current system. A person who dies before receiving benefits equal to what was contributed, and who has sufficient modified adjusted gross income to be taxed on social security benefits, can end up being taxed even though they lost money by contributing more than they got back. And offsetting that flaw is yet another, which is that someone who lives long enough to receive more than what was contributed ends up not being taxed on what unquestionably is a clearly realized increase in economic wealth.
So when Munnell suggests that fifty percent of social security benefits “might be viewed as the appropriate share of benefits to include in adjusted gross income,” she fails to address any of the flaws in how social security benefits are taxed. Under her approach, a person dying shortly after retirement would continue to be taxed on amounts that are not income, and a person living long enough would continue to receive income free of tax that should be taxed. I should note at this point that the concern about taxing social security recipients who have low income should be, and can be, addressed not through the “base amount” and “adjusted base amount” nonsense of current law but simply by providing a standard deduction high enough to protect low-income individuals from taxation no matter the source of the income.
Several of the comments to Munnell’s opinion piece remind me of how much ignorance about social security runs rampant. One person claimed, “Most of SS is just a return of your own money, therefor tax free makes the most sense.” That is absolutely untrue, except for the unfortunate folks who die shortly after beginning to receive social security benefits. Another person made a similar claim, stating, “Social security should be treated like a Roth IRA. not taxable at all you paid income tax on that money already.” No, you did not, again, unless you unfortunately die soon after retiring. Fortunately, other persons commenting on the article pointed out these misconceptions, suggesting that people can calculate what they, or a retiree they know, has received in social security benefits and compare that to what the person contributed. Many of the comments focused on other social security issues, not the taxation question, and then addressed other tax issues, both sensibly and with demonstrated ignorance, and though I could write several book chapters separating the comments reflecting good understanding of economics, finance, and tax from those reflecting something other than a good understanding, at the moment I will leave that for others.
As a practical matter, any attempt to make changes to the taxation of social security benefits will open the door to the continuing attempt to privatize social security and put its control into the hands of private equity funds, oligarchs, and wealthy financiers. Some of the comments to Munnell’s opinion piece reflected the unrealistic expectation that no one loses money making private investments. How quickly the world has forgotten Bernie Madoff, the folks at Enron, the wizards at Adelphia, to say nothing of the investment advisors with good intentions but inadequate skill sets. Americans have become so eager to purchase the Brooklyn Bridge. It is sad what happens when the money addicts meet those ignorant of economics, finances, and taxes. Very sad.

About a month later, in Perhaps Yet Another Reason Not to Run for Tax Collector, I reacted to another story about the same tax collector. Additional federal charges were brought, accusing him of using information from surrendered drivers’ licenses to manufacture fake IDs with his picture on it. After this indictment was handed down, he resigned his office. In my commentary, I noted that I wondered why he wanted fake IDs. Perhaps an answer can be found in the next story.
Now comes yet more news about the same tax collector. In a superseding federal indictment, he has been charged with sex trafficking a minor. According to the indictment, he was able to get “personal information from motor vehicle records to engage in commercial sex acts and accessed personal information to engage in ‘sugar daddy’ relationships, including with someone who was between the ages of 14 and 18.” The tax collector’s attorney said that his client denies the charges.
In my first post on this continuing story, my focus was on the refusal of many otherwise qualified individuals to run for public office. The lies, ignorance, dirty tricks, altered images, fake videos, and false allegations permeating political campaigns are deterring those who would bring much-needed ideas and accomplishments to the public arena. I lamented the disappearance of “the days when politicians, candidates, and office holders engaged in rational, intelligent, honest, and sensible discussions and arguments about issues.” I rued how “mentality of win-at-any-price, devoid of critical thinking and cogent analysis, and reflecting any sense of quality values, has infected the political process.”
But now I think it’s worse. There indeed are people who run for office with the worst of intentions, and perhaps some who run with the best of intentions but who are sidetracked when they are caught in the equivalent of what someone in Washington, D.C., described to me when I was a federal employee as “Potomac fever.” Unfortunately, it didn’t take long for politicians, their advisors, and others to decide that if valid charges can bring down an opposing candidate or someone already in office, fake charges, even if eventually disproven, can derail a candidate’s campaign or wreck an official’s career. It’s so bad that in some instances even proof of bad behavior is overlooked by those who are trying to divert attention by making accusations against others, who may or may not be guilty of those charges. It’s because of the mud-slinging, lies, and other dirty tricks that many good, decent people stay out of politics. It’s because of the actual corruption that many people paint politicians with the “all politicians are corrupt” broad brush, just as many people paint almost everyone and everything with the broad brush of stereotyped caricatures. None of this is good for the country.
It remains to be seen if the former Florida tax collector is convicted or acquitted. Perhaps he will take a plea. No matter how this plays out, it won’t be good. If he is convicted or takes a plea, it will, in the minds of many people, reinforce their belief that “all politicians are corrupt.” If he is acquitted, he nonetheless has suffered and yet another instance of false accusations polluting the system will have accomplished what its perpetrators sought, as it would not be easy for him to repair the damage.
For anyone considering a run for tax collector or any other office, it might be wise to accumulate evidence of the truth of one’s life so that when accusations are made, a response can be delivered quickly, effectively, and with positive impact. And because many people do not decide to run for office until later in their lives, when it might be too late to gather evidence to refute the flood of falsehoods that are drowning this nation and that are unleashed whenever someone announces a candidacy, it might be wise for everyone to accumulate evidence of the truth of one’s life. After all, the tossing about of falsehoods isn’t confined, unfortunately, to the world of taxes or politics. And to make certain that the truth of one’s life is something others will admire, it is best to consider each decision from the perspective of “how will this play out if I ever run for office or, for that matter, seek a job?”

The tariff was imposed because the President “claimed that the American aluminum business has been ‘decimated’ by Canada.” He accused Canadian aluminum producers of “flooding the U.S. with exports.” There is a reason aluminum imports have increased. Demand has increased. Why? According to this editorial, “aluminum demand has gone up as pandemic quarantines have driven bar patrons home and away from draft or bottled beer. In addition, the growing popularity of hard seltzers has increased demand for aluminum cans.” It is not unrealistic to expect consumers of beverages sold in aluminum cans, including not only beer but also soda, ice tea, and other drinks, discovering the cost of their purchases going up. How many will understand why?
Oddly, according to the Aluminum Association, imports of Canadian aluminum have dropped. So much for the President’s “flooding” nonsense.
In addition to this hidden regressive tax increase, the tariff also poses threats to American jobs. Why? Canada has announced it will retaliate. According to this report, Canada is working on a list of American products, some of which are described in the report, on which it will impose tariffs. This will reduce demand and put workers in factories making those products at risk of losing their jobs. Why? Because jobs reflect demand, not supply.
So while this tariff war instigated by the “deal maker” ravages both the United States and Canada, long-time allies with a history of cooperation, does anyone benefit? According to this story, the Canadian ambassador to the United States explained that “two of the biggest beneficiaries from the Trump administration’s reimposition of 10 per cent tariff on some imports from Canada will be a Swiss trading firm and a Russian producer.” I wonder how many people complaining about the increases in the cost of beer, soda, and other beverages will take the time to understand what actually is happening.

Drum is correct that payroll taxes are progressive. People earning more than the $137,700 Social Security cap pay a lower percentage of their wages than do people earning $137,700 or less. The fix to that problem is simple. Repeal the cap. It does not require eliminating the trust fund. Repealing the cap makes the payroll tax a flat tax. I agree with Drum that the regressive nature of the payroll tax is undesirable, and to the extent he would support repeal of the cap, we are in agreement.
But when it comes to the trust fund, I disagree with his proposal. Why does the trust fund exist? It exists to ensure that payroll tax receipts do not go into the general fund where they can be spent without accountability to the Social Security payment mandate. Drum makes much of the fact that the trust fund “is nothing but a bunch of government bonds.” Technically, the excess in the trust fund, that is, the excess of receipts over expenses (chiefly Social Security payments), have been invested. They were invested in what has been perceived to be the safest investment, Treasury bonds. Thus, when those investments are cashed in during periods when Social Security payments exceed payroll tax receipts, the trust fund is using its investments. It matters not how the debtor digs up cash to redeem the investment. The Treasury can redeem the Bonds by using any sort of receipts, not simply income taxes, or by issuing replacement bonds purchased by the public. It need not tap income tax revenues.
There is another catch to the repeal of the payroll tax. Drum notes that Social Security payments are made automatically under the current system, but he neglects to mention that the amount of an individual’s payment depends on several factors which reflect the payroll tax. To qualify, the individual must have earned wages subject to the payroll tax for at least 40 quarters. The computation of the payment requires determination of how much the individual earned in qualified wages subject to the payroll tax over the person’s earning history. If the payroll tax is eliminated, another method of computing Social Security payments would be necessary, and that opens up the political battle that Drum claims would not exist if the payroll tax is eliminated.
Worse, Drum makes no effort to deal with the transition issues that his proposal raises. Are Social Security payments currently being made left alone? What happens to the person who retires and seeks Social Security days, months, or a year or two after Drum’s proposal is implemented? Does the person lose credit for the quarters they worked and the eligible wages they earned? Is the balance in the trust fund dumped into the general fund?
And, of course, payroll taxes also fund Medicare. Drum makes no mention of Medicare They also fund other programs. Drum also makes not mention of those.
If Drum wants to go after federal trust funds because he thinks the general fund is sufficient, does he propose to eliminate not only the Social Security trust funds (technically there are two, the old-age and survivors insurance fund and the disability insurance fund), but also the two Medicare trust funds, the Civil Service Retirement and Disability Fund, the Military Retirement Fund, the Employees Life Insurance Fund, the National Railroad Retirement Investment Trust, the Employees and Retired Employees Health Benefits Funds, the Foreign Service Retirement and Disability Fund, the Rail Industry Pension Fund, the Foreign National Employees Separation Pay Fund, the Judicial Survivors' Annuities Fund, the Judicial Officers' Retirement Fund, the District of Columbia Judicial Retirement and Survivors Annuity Fund, the Armed Forces Retirement Home Fund, the United Mine Workers of America Combined Benefit Fund, the Foreign Service National Separation Liability Trust Fund, the United States Court of Federal Claims Judges' Retirement Fund, the Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims Retirement Fund, the Tax Court Judges Survivors Annuity Fund, the Unemployment Trust Fund, the Railroad Social Security Equivalent Benefit Account Fund, and the Black Lung Disability Trust Fund? All of these either are funded with payroll taxes or amounts based on wages, or serve similar purposes as does Social Security. Does he propose eliminating and dumping into the general fund the Transportation Trust Fund, the Foreign Military Sales Trust Fund, the Airport and Airway Trust Fund, the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund, and the other 89 or more trust funds held by the federal government?
Drum’s claim that “[t]here are several upsides to funding Social Security through the general fund and literally no downsides” is not supported by the evidence. There are downsides. There are too many downsides. Drum is confident that the trust fund is not necessary because “when Social Security was first started, [the trust fund . . . was a useful way of guaranteeing that Social Security couldn’t be touched in the future,” and that although it “may have been necessary 90 years ago, . . . it’s not anymore [because it’s] not the funding source that stops Congress from cutting Social Security payments, it’s the broad support for the program itself, [as it is] just too damn popular to screw around with.” Tell that to the private equity investors, their politician puppets, the GOP, and the others who want to eliminate Social Security and toss it aside as they have eliminated pensions over the past forty years, in the name of “privatization” and “capitalism” run amok. Tearing down a serious wall of defense against the money-addicted oligarchs is not, as Drum claims, “something that any progressive should support.” No one, progressive, moderate, conservative, or sensible, should support destruction of yet another pillar of American democracy. What should be supported is elimination of the payroll tax cap. It’s that simple.

This time, as reported by several sources, including Accounting Today and Ventural Broadcasting, two top White House officials have admitted that the President cannot cut capital gains tax rates unilaterally by executive order. They admitted that changes in tax rates are within the purview of the Congress. Though they seem to have remembered what they learned in their Civics course, or perhaps made the effort to find out how law-making is done in this country, it seems the President doesn’t have a clue. Presumably they have shared their knowledge with the President, but how that conversation went isn’t something disclosed to the public.
Some Americans, understandably frustrated with how politics works and convinced that a businessman would do a better job of “running” the country, voted in favor of putting a businessman in the White House. Of course, the alleged businessman was a dabbler in real estate using inherited money, and a failure at running businesses. Between stiffing workers and suppliers and going bankrupt multiple times, he demonstrated everything that a successful businessman is not. As the meme puts it, they wanted him to “run the country the way he ran his businesses,” and he certainly has.
In business, the CEO of a non-public enterprise is king, czar, emperor, and lord. The CEO answers to no one. Smart CEOs get an education by going to class, surround themselves with advisors who understand what the CEO does not, listens to and takes advice from those with superior experience, intelligence, and knowledge, and with their help navigates the treacherous world of reality. The Presidency is not a CEO position. It is the top office in one of three branches of government. Its powers are constrained. Changes in tax rates, and changes in the Internal Revenue Code, must originate in the House of Representatives and be approved by the full Congress. Though a CEO can unilaterally and even arbitrarily increase or decrease the prices at which the company sells goods and services, a President cannot unilaterally or arbitrarily change tax rates or eliminate taxes.
Of course, it is possible that the President has no intention of unilaterally cutting capital gains rates. So why propose doing so? Because some of the people who would benefit from such a move, and even people who would not but who some sort of philosophical antipathy towards taxes, and perhaps people who think he is on a path leading to his unilateral repeal of taxes that they pay, find in such an announcement “proof” that he is the “hero” they have come to think he is. The announcement gathers votes. As I wrote more than seven years ago, in The Disadvantages of Tax Incentives, “The well-being of the national economy demands stability, continuity, predictability, and reliability in the tax system. By putting personal electoral goals ahead of the nation’s well-being, Congress is selling the nation short and ultimately risks selling it out.” Rather than taking my advice, Congress continued on a path that in some ways encourages the same sort of behavior by the Executive Branch. Again, I warn, “By putting personal electoral goals ahead of the nation’s well-being, the Administration is selling the nation short and ultimately risks selling it out.”

Now, according to many reports, including, for example, this one, the President claims he is “considering a capital gains tax cut in an effort to create more jobs.” It is unclear whether he is referring to the previously-circulated idea of indexing basis, an idea I excoriated in The Menace of Impetuous or Manipulative Tax Policy Announcements, or to his intent to issue a unilateral reduction or elimination of capital gains rates. Of course, cutting capital gains does not create jobs any more than the other tax breaks dished out to wealthy individuals and large corporations do. Jobs are created when someone needs workers, but if there is nothing for workers to do or there is an empty supply of people with necessary skills, jobs are not created.
Once a President decides that taxes can be deferred or eliminated at the President’s whim, or that basis can be adjusted by fiat, or that tax rates can be changed by dictate, the door is open for a complete return to feudalism. What’s to stop a President from declaring that individuals with annual incomes exceeding $1,000,000 or net worth exceeding $10,000,000 are exempt from all taxes? What’s to stop a President from declaring a disaster in states whose electoral college votes were cast for the President and absolving their residents from taxation while increasing tax rates on residents in the other states? In theory, the Congress can, but the Congress is weak because the Senate majority is beholden to oligarchs. In theory, if an individual found a way to sue to stop this sort of behavior, the Supreme Court ultimately could, but it, too, has become politicized and cannot be trusted to issue decisions in the best interest of the people.
More than seven years ago, in The Disadvantages of Tax Incentives, I wrote, “The well-being of the national economy demands stability, continuity, predictability, and reliability in the tax system. By putting personal electoral goals ahead of the nation’s well-being, Congress is selling the nation short and ultimately risks selling it out.” Rather than taking my advice, Congress continued on a path that in some ways encourages the same sort of behavior by the Executive Branch. Again, I warn, “By putting personal electoral goals ahead of the nation’s well-being, the Administration is selling the nation short and ultimately risks selling it out.”
There are those, who looking at their own wallets and lives, are thrilled with these dictatorial changes to the tax law. Of course, they probably are looking at the short-term consequences and, as usual, ignoring the long-term ramifications. And surely they are not considering what happens, with this sort of precedent in place, when a future President decides to increase taxes on the wealthy, eliminate special capital gains rates, and subject capital gains to taxation at death. What goes around comes around. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Karma. Those cheering dictatorial orders, despotic decrees, and autocratic approaches to government are being extremely short-sighted. A slide into tyranny doesn’t always turn out the best for the instigators. History teaches that lesson, one that surely escapes a person who thinks the Second World War ended in 1917. If this is the best that we can do as a nation, the future indeed is bleak.

I have written about noncompliant tax return preparers in what seems to be the distant past. For example, back in 2009, in Tax Fraud Is Not Sacred, I described the indictment of a tax return preparer who offered free tax return preparation services to members of a church, who included false deductions and credits on the returns, and who pocketed part of the refunds. Perhaps indictments of tax return preparers are increasing because of increased investigations, or perhaps they have been holding steady and I’m simply becoming more aware of them.
I will simply repeat what I have written several times in the past: “The lesson at the moment? Choose a tax return preparer as carefully as choosing a surgeon or child care provider. In other words, do research, talk to friends and neighbors, look at online reviews, and interview the preparer.” Once again, this most recent indictment does nothing but corroborate the wisdom of my advice.

The voter information guide includes language drafted by supporters and opponents of the proposal. The fun begins with the language provided by opponents of the proposal. According to this story, the dispute over the language was litigated and a court issued a ruling that illustrates the extent to which the anti-tax movement will go to oppose taxes.
The proposed changes do not apply to homeowners, just businesses. Opponents of Proposition 15 wrote that the initiative would let local governments raise property taxes on residences because there are small businesses operated out of homes. But the language of Proposition 15 specifically exempts home-based businesses from assessment at actual market value. The judge described the language offered by the opponents as “misleading if not outright false.”
Supporters included, in their portion of the guide, language stating that Proposition 15 would not impact homeowners and renters. Opponents asked that this language be removed. The judge refused that request because the language was accurate.
The communications director for the organization behind Proposition 15 stated, “The court's ruling today is concrete evidence that there are consequences for running a campaign based solely on debunked scare tactics.” Unfortunately, sometimes the consequences are that the misleading statements, half-truths, and lies circulate unimpeded and generate outcomes that would not have been the result had truth prevailed.
In this instance, the misstatements also provided a distraction. Rather than focusing on the wisdom of denying property tax relief to profit-generating, cash-rich businesses, which might be a good or bad idea, opponents try to drum up support by getting voters to think terrible things are going to happen to them personally. This technique can be effective but it doesn’t make it admirable nor appropriate. |
This week I am once again joining both Nonfiction November and Connect Five Friday with 5 non-fiction books that have piqued my interest from other bloggers participating in NF November..
It’s Friday once again and that means it’s time for Connect Five Friday, hosted at Book Date by Kathryn – the meme where we share five book/reading things that connect in some way.
Nonfiction November is an opportunity to share and celebrate nonfiction works. This is Week 4, hosted by Katie @DoingDewey. There were so many non-fiction books highlighted this month. on so many different blogs. It was a challenge to just choose five.
Here are 5 I hope to read and are now on my TBR list:
Only Plane in the Sky: An Oral History of 9/11 by Garrett M. Graff. I had seen this book numerous times but the post at the Reading Ladies pushed me to add this book (as well as many others) onto my TBR. So many great books listed in their pairings post.
Shadow City: A Woman Walks Kabul by Taran N. Khan. This book intrigued me and was part of a number of other pairings I have added to my TBR on Book’d Out.
Paris Without End: The True Story of Hemingway’s First Wife by Gioia Diliberto. THis looks like a fascinating read, highlighted at JulzReads, along with other great pairings of books.
The next two books were both highlighted by Nicki at Secret Library Book blog. As she said ” This week I’m highlighting books that came along at just the right moment, they bought me clarity, hope, laughter and calm in an otherwise frazzled world.“

See One Ballerina Dance Through 100 Years Of Girls’ Fashion In Three Minutes
Actually, it’s less than three minutes, but we rounded up because you might need to recover for just a sec after watching this video that captures the colorful progress of girls’ style since 1916. Seriously, it’s crushingly cute.
Just like all the many, many “100 Years of…” videos out there, this one starts at the leading edge of World War I when stripes and bows were having a moment. From there it’s a decade-by-decade dance through lace, A-line dresses, polyester, and, finally, pants. It all ends up in a touch of Lululemon-style black athletic wear because the kids are all Health Goths these days. Just between us all, we’re very much feeling what’s going on in the 1950s. Dunno what that means—just putting it out there.
No, seriously, on top of being very cute and a great look back, this take on the 100 Years… meme has a nice message embedded inside. Created by the very same people who brought you those realistically proportioned Lammily dolls. To keep the positivity up, the company capped off the video by letting their talented ballerina star Jonna Banko address the camera and share her thoughts on what fashion means (and can mean) for kids her age. At the end of the day, she says, it’s about confidence, not being perfect. Considering that the phrase “children should be seen and not heard” was still popular 100 years ago, Banko’s little speech is just more proof of how far girls have come. |

A couple of weeks ago, I drove two hours north to the hillside town of Olyphant, Pa., just outside Scranton, to meet with a Donald Trump superfan for a book project I’ve been working on. For 90 minutes, I listened to this 54-year-old laid-off factory worker and former Democrat who now says the more that liberal politicians and other elites voice their contempt for the ex-president, the more strongly he supports Trump. He was also candid about his recent health woes — including a heart attack and a stroke — so I asked if he’d received a COVID-19 shot.
“Absolutely not,” he responded quickly, “and I will not get it. Let me clarify ... not at this time, because it’s all pretty new.” He blamed not only the speed with which the vaccines gained federal approval but shifts in coronavirus guidance from top officials — but he was basically distrustful of anything around COVID-19, because he felt it has been politicized. “I just felt that the left was using it as an excuse to fire along their agenda, get rid of Trump,” he said.
Elsewhere across the U.S., some folks have not been as lucky with rolling the dice on COVID-19, during what should be the waning days of the pandemic but which — most frustratingly — are not. In and around Springfield, Mo., on the edge of the Ozarks and in the heart of Trump country in a deep red state, case counts have been surging in recent days. Some 17 people — none of them fully vaccinated, like more than 60% for their fellow Missourians — died there from the virus from June 21 through July 4, and one of the city’s hospitals ran out of ventilators for a time. “Many people talk about this as if it’s a personal decision, but it’s a decision that absolutely affects the entire community, so we need more people to get vaccinated,” Aaron Schekorra, a county public health official, told the Kansas City Star. “The pandemic’s not over.”
No, it’s not. Increasingly, we are moving toward two Americas — one mostly vaccinated and one mostly not, separate and at unequal risk of disease and death. And more and more, that divide is political. A striking map shows that almost all of the U.S. states that have vaccinated more than 70% of adults voted for the Democrat for president in 2016 and 2020 (the exception is here in Pennsylvania, which Trump won in 2016). Meanwhile, almost all of the states with the lowest vaccination rates (except for Nevada) went for Trump in at least one of the last two elections.
If you live in a heavily inoculated area like Philadelphia and its suburbs, where folks spent hours reloading web pages this past winter in their eagerness to get a jab, vaccine hesitancy — which for some people is morphing into defiant vaccine refusal — is very hard to understand. As the rate of new shots slows — the nation fell just short of President Biden’s seemingly reachable goal of 70% adult vaccination by July 4 — and as dangerous mutations like the delta variant spread among the unjabbed, the dream of herd immunity is slipping away. Fully vaccinated since mid-April, I’ve resumed wearing a mask in stores, as America once again snatches defeat from the jaws of victory. Why on earth is this happening?
Experts in psychology who’ve studied vaccine hesitancy for years — predating the COVID-19 pandemic — say that it’s not that the unvaccinated need more information, because the issues really center on people’s deeply held moral foundations. “People have a deep moral intuition that guides them,” Jeff Huntsinger, a social psychologist at Loyola University Chicago who has studied the philosophy of people who refuse vaccines, told me this week.
Huntsinger and other experts who’ve studied vaccine skeptics say they frequently espouse a couple of worldviews. One is around the concept of purity, which means that many express concerns about putting a seemingly unnatural foreign substance — like the new COVID-19 vaccines — into their bodies. The other — which we also began seeing last summer, in the strong reaction by some against wearing masks — centers on a powerful belief in personal freedom, which also correlates with a strong distrust of authority figures telling them what to do.
“Medical freedom is an individual right that should NEVER be infringed upon and any person who thinks otherwise has no place in our government,” the right-wing provocateur Candace Owens tweeted about her family’s vaccine refusal to her 2.7 million followers on Wednesday, joining a growing conservative chorus. Also Wednesday, a Texas GOP congressman, Chip Roy, tweeted an image of a needle with the taunt, “COME INJECT IT,” a twist on a longstanding don’t-mess-with-Texas independence meme.
To be fair, pro-Trump conservatives who flaunt their vaccine refusal aren’t the only reason that the United States is struggling to approach coronavirus herd immunity. Another hurdle is millions of Americans who are largely disconnected from civic life — young people prone to delusions of medical invincibility, or people living in poverty, or folks struggling with other physical or mental illnesses or addiction. Prior to COVID-19, anti-vax theories often circulated among affluent, liberal enclaves. And distrust of authority and government (for understandable reasons) also runs high in some Black and brown communities.
But experts like Huntsinger note that there’s a strong correlation between the philosophical traits of vaccine refusal — including the libertarian-flavored belief in “medical freedom” and distrust of authority figures like the nation’s infectious-health leader Dr. Anthony Fauci — and modern conservatism. That would certainly go a long way toward explaining the growing red state/blue state dividing line.
Indeed, as the issue of getting a COVID-19 shot gets increasingly politicized, Huntsinger noted, refusal begins to be wrapped in the strong power of what experts call “negative partisanship” — voters forming opinions largely in opposition to the political party that they don’t like ... or hate. Ever since the coronavirus arrived on American shores in early 2020, it’s been people that conservatives tend to dislike — scientists, journalists, and, into the Biden era, Democratic politicians — advocating stricter lockdowns, masks, and now vaccines, and that clearly causes some of them to get their backs up. Huntsinger said that when elite public officials issue stay-at-home orders, “people who score high on liberty are like, ‘(Bleep) you, I’m not doing that.’”
On Tuesday, amid concerns about the delta variant and again-rising caseloads, President Biden said the government would step up voluntary efforts to encourage citizens to get vaccinated, including door-to-door campaigns in neighborhoods with low rates. “Do it now for yourself and the people you care about, for your neighborhood, for your country,” he said. “It sounds corny, but it’s a patriotic thing to do.”
But negative partisanship suggests that the problem isn’t so much the message as distrust or dislike of the messengers. As the political spin cycle intensifies, the sources that conservatives do trust — most notably the ratings-hungry Fox News Channel — are exploiting the crisis, and risking the lives of their own viewers in the process. On Wednesday night, under the banner, “LEFT INTENSIFIES COVID VACCINE PRESSURE CAMPAIGN,” Fox host Laura Ingraham welcomed a doctor who insisted that “unless we really have a compelling case, no one under age 30 should receive any one of these vaccines.”
That is bad information, and it is morally abhorrent that Fox News would share this with a couple million viewers. I actually hold a certain kind of empathy for everyday people who might get sick because they are so tangled up in their politics and their beliefs right now, who’ve convinced themselves that not wearing a mask or getting a vaccine says something to their friends and neighbors that they’re part of “the right crowd.” But there should be no mercy for the high-def hucksters in political office or the media so eager to exploit a crisis for personal gain, with no regard to who gets sick or dies.
Instead of political propaganda and promoting a way of life that rejects modern science, just imagine an America in which Fox News aired the testimonial of a Springfield, Mo., COVID-19 patient, 42-year-old Russell Taylor.
“I was one of those Americans who was like, skeptical, not knowing who to trust,” he said in a video for Cox Health. “So I just kind of pulled back, that if God allows this, then it must be.” In June, he was rushed to the hospital by ambulance and placed on a ventilator, with double pneumonia. He was still hospitalized after three weeks. “Somewhere in July,” he now said, “I think it would be wise to get the whole family vaccinated, because my stance on that is ... God made medicine, too.”

Progressive publication Miami New Times has released this week, and for the second time, screenshots they have obtained from the internal chats of conservative groups at Florida International University. In this case, the organization is Turning Point USA (TPUSA), the college conservative group started by frequent Fox News guest and Donald Trump booster Charlie Kirk. The subject of the chats were rape jokes, racist jokes, pepe memes, Nazi references, and, if you can believe it, more.
The story at the New Times recounts briefly their prior publication of screenshots obtained from the FIU Campus Republicans and from a campus fraternity, as well as other times TPUSA chats have been exposed, including by The New Yorker.
The latest screenshots originated from the “TPUSA FIU Fun” chatroom, which the New Times says is “used to announce the group’s meetings and official business, while also serving as an outlet for group members to talk about campus life and share jokes and memes.”
In the most egregious example, the users share a meme featuring a “Pepe” frog meant to depict a Syrian male as he rapes a Swedish woman. Other examples include references to “cartoon porn involving underage girls”, references to racist white supremacist Richard Spencer, and jokes about being anti-Semitic.
These are samples, you will have to click through to New Times to see the full screenshots.
From the article:
“Let’s hope the next Reconquista doesn’t last 774 years,” The term — which translates to “reconquest” — is often referenced in white-nationalist and neo-Nazi circles online.
Some other group members even joked about watching cartoon porn involving underage girls. Many white nationalists and other members of the online alt-right, including Richard Spencer, have loudly professed their love for Japanese anime. One FIU TPUSA member took things a step further by posting a meme referencing “loli hentai,” a type of Japanese pornography that, according to Urban Dictionary at least, depicts underage, prepubescent girls having sex:
Representatives for the group did not return messages from New Times yesterday. (A Facebook message was “read.”) Nor did the group’s regional field director in Florida, Driena Sixto, respond to New Times. She also participated in the chats, the WhatsApp screencaps show.
There is much more in the story, here, if you can stomach it.

There are dating apps for farmers, cosplay aficionados and food allergy sufferers.
There's a dating app exclusively for Tesla owners.
There's even a dating app for people who are really into mullets.
So, this new meme-based dating app seems strikingly normal by comparison.
Called Schmooze, it uses the popular swipe-right-or-left method, but instead of swiping on other humans to find love (or whatever), you swipe memes to get matched with people sharing a similar sense of humor. It's live now for iOS and Android.
Schmooze's current catalog has thousands of memes, and more are added each day. Once you sign up and create a profile, you'll be able to view the memes and swipe. The algorithm then builds you a humor profile based on your swipes and matches you with others who share your taste for puns or political jokes, animals or Crying Michael Jordan. Because humor is a better predictor of relationship success than visual cues, like a photo of some guy holding a dog and reading Russian literature. While shirtless.
According to TechCrunch, the idea was formed when CEO Vidya Madhavan cold-emailed someone to ask about grad school advice. That exchange turned into a couple hundred long-distance emails, most of them jokes, and eventually led to marriage. Now, she wants to repeat her own success story for others.
By using humor as the app's backbone, Schmooze hopes to reduce the amount of creepy matches you get on the average dating app and increase matches with people you might actually like.
If all goes well, you could find a special someone that just gets you. But at some point, you will probably have to meet up in person or communicate outside of memes.
So classic dating moves like showering and wearing pants aren't dead yet. |
CloudKid Presents updog - 2 choices
To click play or not to click play… those are the 2 choices that lie between you and updog’s latest rocktronic single ‘2 choices’. Posing as the final single ahead of his anticipated 3rd EP ‘bouncy boy’ (22.01.2020), the track is leading us deep down the rabbit-hole of an artist full of introspect and honesty; on this occasion, continuing to explore some more rappy and left-field undertones, making ‘2 choices’ a track with a very special and unmatched energy. He explains:
“2 choices’ starts with the pressure you can feel about conforming, instead of just following your own chosen path. Feeling like your path is laid out for you before you’re even born. As the song progresses, I just start getting disgusted with myself that I am even complaining about these things. It’s the realization that I’m so privileged to even have these choices. A lot of people in the world literally have no choice to be able to pursue either path. The only path they have is oppression. If I start complaining about my first world problems again, please.. kick my a**“
»If I start complaining about my first world problems again, please.. kick my a**«
Being a fan and follower of an artist like updog is always an exciting journey. Whether it’s releasing tantalising music on a consistent basis; soundtracking a meme animation competition; hosting a balloon boy face filter game; or simply delivering honest messages through his music that we all need to hear – the updog world is certainly one you want to get involved in. Continuously supported and recognised across the board by Spotify Editorial, leading YouTube music channels (MrSuicideSheep, xKito, Nightblue), as well as blogs such as Magnetic Mag and CULTR – it’s fair to say that the music still doesn’t cease to keep everyone absorbed in his artistic journey. Check out ‘2 choices’ on Cloudkid now. |

I spent a month there one night: This article offers an interactive look at how our sense of time can become distorted when things are bleak.
When Boston schools open they’ll adopt a 6 foot social distancing standard. This despite overcrowding and a lack of space in existing buildings. Having a good plan that’s unworkable is the same as having a bad plan, or no plan at all.
The plan to rebuild the fire-damaged Notre Dame has been finalized. It will be rebuilt as it was, not with a new, modern design. And that billion dollar fund of pledged money from businesses never really materialized so the funding will have to come from other sources.
I initially dismissed the meme going around about individual taxpayers getting only $1200 while non-taxpaying religious organizations got billions in coronavirus aid. That couldn’t be true, could it? Well apparently it is and the Catholic Church was the largest beneficiary.
And a commenter at Universal Hub noticed that a Dorchester street with an odd name was simply a common name spelled backwards. Tebroc = Corbet. There’s also a Corbet Street in Dorchester and it’s near Lorna Road, which intersects with Doone Avenue. And further down Bowdoin is another backward street, Navillus Terrace which, reversed, is Sullivan. Sounds like a drunk night of city planning back in the day. |

Yet, this life is hard on the whole family. It's a gross feeling. Our daughter is 6. I'm afraid he's going to be more in love with work than me and a family.

He doesn't even think he works that much even though he sleeps 5 hours a night when he sleeps at all. Its was written in shorthand so its hard to read.

“This report was motivated by the increased presence of armed militia groups at political events around Nevada and by a growing number of violent incidents and plots in Nevada and nationwide,” it states in its opening.
The report also says “that such groups could carry out violent attacks both before and after the 2020 elections” and questions the possibility that “armed groups will show up as ‘poll watchers’ and attempt to intimidate voters.”
It gives an overview of different armed militia groups—including the Proud Boys, the Boogaloo Bois and the Three Percenters. The document also highlights numerous instances of far-right violence, including the armed re-open Nevada protest at the Governor’s Mansion in May and the August attacks on Black Lives Matter demonstrators in Douglas County. The report lists incidents as far back as 1988, when Tony Montgomery, a Black man, was murdered in Sparks by two Neo-Nazis.
The authors urge public officials to use existing state laws, which it outlines, “to clamp down on illegal militia activity.”
Political Research Associates has also helped organizations in other western states to similarly document the rise of right-wing militia activity, including a 2016 Oregon report penned shortly after the occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge.
Identifying modern armed militias
The authors say violent, right-wing organizations are growing in the Silver State.
“Right-wing organizations, armed militias and white supremacy groups are a shifting concatenation of organizations that regularly expand, contract, split into factions and rebrand themselves to become less politically toxic,” the authors say.
It correctly notes that today’s armed groups go by names that may not even have existed a decade ago—like Boogaloo Bois, Oath Keepers, Three Percent Militia, Proud Boys and Atomwaffen Division—and each of which have a presence in Nevada.
Each is also a part of what the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has labeled the “most persistent and lethal threat to the homeland.”
The DHS annual assessment in which this statement was made was not released until earlier this month when, according to the New York Times, an “intelligence chief-turned-whistle-blower … accused the department of blocking the report and directing analysts to play down the threat of violent white racism as well as Russian election interference to align the agency’s message with the president’s.”
According to the Times, this assessment echoed a similar warning by FBI Director Christopher Wray, who recently told Congress that white, racially motivated violent extremism makes up the majority of domestic terrorism threats.
The report contradicts “President Trump’s continued insistence about the dangers posed by ‘Antifa’ and other ‘radical left’ movements.” While pockets of far-left violence exist, such as in Portland, Oregon, Black Lives Matter demonstrations comparatively have far less documented violence. Another report released yesterday also found that most arrested at protests are young suburban adults, not left-wing radicals.
The report acknowledges that white nationalists and Neo-Nazi militants constitute “a tiny minority of Americans” and of Nevadans, in a state that is currently run by a Democratic governor and Democratic majority state legislature.
Nonetheless, it warns, the concern is “that even a tiny minority of far-right activists” and white supremacists could cause many problems leading up to and even following the presidential election on Nov. 3.
“Most dangerous of all, they have been encouraged by President Trump’s false claims about election fraud and his all-too-explicit message to ‘stand back and stand by,’” the report reads.
Armed groups explored
The report examines and outlines armed militia groups with presences in Nevada: the Proud Boys, the Boogaloo Bois, the Three Percenters, Atomwaffen Division and the Oath Keepers.
According to the report, “the Proud Boys presents itself as an edgy male drinking club for ‘Western chauvinists.’ Members of the Proud Boys have engaged in violence at past protests.”
The report notes that the FBI has designated it an extremist group with ties to white nationalism. It is designated a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, and the group has been suspended from Facebook, Twitter and other social media platforms.
The Proud Boys have made their presence in Nevada known at rallies in Reno, Carson City and Minden. They’ve been visible and vocal at events like the “Mask-free Nevada” and “Re-open Nevada” rallies, as well as the Reno Elections rally at City Plaza in 2018, at which Proud Boys attended to show support for right-wing political candidates for mayor, school board and Reno City Council.
The report next discusses the Boogaloo Bois—a loosely organized movement comprising far-right extremists, according to multiple sources, which also claims to be anti-racist—whose members’ trademark Hawaiian shirt under an armored vest with weapons and ammo magazines started as a racist meme and only morphed into an in-the-flesh movement in recent years. The name stems from the 1984 movie Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo, but it has long been associated with racist violence and the prediction of a second civil war. More than 30 people associated with Boogaloo Bois have been arrested since 2019 with charges ranging from conspiring with terrorists, illegal firearms possession, trafficking steroids, possession of an explosive device, child exploitation to making terrorist threats.
“That vision came close to realization in Las Vegas on May 30, 2020,” the report notes. “Three Boogaloo members were arrested on their way to a Black Lives Matter rally and charged by federal prosecutors with conspiring to ‘maliciously damage or destroy, by means of fire and explosives, buildings and other personal or real property.’ According to the prosecutors’ complaint, the three had originally planned to firebomb a Nevada Energy substation, but instead they went to the Black Lives Matter rally with the intention of tossing Molotov cocktails.”
The third group the report discusses are the Three Percenters. This group’s name stems from the incorrect claim often repeated by people that only 3% of the American colonists took up arms against the British during the American Revolution. The group’s members say they’re pushing back against tyranny within the state and federal government—but they also push back against liberal ideas and movements like Black Lives Matter.
In Nevada, the Three Percenters are deeply entrenched. Several of the group’s members were involved in Cliven Bundy’s armed standoff in Bunkerville against the Bureau of Land Management in southern Nevada, as well as in Ammon Bundy’s 2016 armed occupation of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge in Oregon.
The report notes that one “of the most visible Three Percenters in Nevada is Corey Lequieu, who was sentenced in 2016 to 2.5 years in federal prison for his role in the 41-day armed occupation of Malheur. Lequieu is a vocal and avowed racist who celebrates the Confederate flag in person and on social media. He also supports QAnon, which foments the conspiracy theory that a ‘deep state’ dominated by Democrats is conducting child sex trafficking.” QAnon was recently banned from Facebook for stoking unfounded conspiracies. YouTube has also severely curtailed the group’s ability to post videos.
This Is Reno reporters and photographers have encountered Lequieu while covering protest activities in Carson City. He and other armed demonstrators sometimes “stand guard” over the police memorial in Carson City since someone made the unfounded claim that BLM movement supporters had plans to tear it down. Lequieu and the other “guards” are openly hostile toward media members and others who get near the memorial while it’s under their watch.
The Oath Keepers, also present at the Bundy standoff in Southern Nevada, according to the report, “presents itself as an organization of current and former members of law enforcement, the military and other first responders. Its stated purpose is to organize and train its members to refuse to obey ‘unconstitutional orders.’”
However, the Oath Keepers have shown up to oppose rallies for racial and social justice, including the ones that took place in Ferguson, Missouri, following the killing of Michael Brown.
“Two weeks before the 2016 presidential election, Oath Keepers issued a ‘call to action’ for its members to station at polling places and guard against purported election fraud,” the report reads. “At the time, then-candidate Donald J. Trump was making vocal accusations that the election would be ‘rigged.’”
Atomwaffen Division is an active hate group here in Nevada. According to the report, it’s a “notorious neo-Nazi group that has been eager for a race war and whose members have conspired to carry out attacks on Jewish institutions.” In 2018, ProPublica reported the group held a three-day “hate camp” in the desert to train its members on combat and the use of weapons.
Nevada law prohibits some militia activity
After laying out a timeline of acts of violence perpetrated or attempted by members of various militia in Nevada, the report argues that it is within the power of the state to prohibit militia activities the likes of which have been seen increasingly during protest gatherings.
“If armed groups go one step further and show up as purported ‘poll watchers’ at voting places, they will effectively be engaging in voter intimidation—a felony—and threatening the most fundamental practice of democracy,” the report warns before giving its reasoning behind the claim that the state already has the power to stop militia gatherings at public protests and pretty much anywhere else they congregate.
“The Nevada Constitution takes up the issue in Article I, Section 11, which provides that ‘the military shall be subordinate to the civil power’ and thus expressly forbids militias not under state authority,” the report explains.
The issue is also taken up in Nevada Revised Statutes, something the report explores in depth.
NRS 412.604, about “State Militias,” covers the “unlawful drill or parade with arms by voluntary company or voluntary organization without license.” Violating it constitutes a misdemeanor.
Subsection (1) reads: “It is unlawful for any body of persons whatever, other than the Nevada National Guard and the troops of the United States, to associate themselves together as a volunteer military company or volunteer military organization to drill or parade with arms in any city or town of this state, without the license of the Governor, which license may at any time be revoked.”
NRS 203.080, in the chapter on “Crimes Against the Public Peace,” prohibits people associating with unauthorized military companies.
Subsection (1): “It shall be unlawful for any body of individuals other than municipal police university or public school cadets or companies, militia of the State or troops of the United States, to associate themselves together as a military company with arms without the consent of the Governor.” Violation here is also a misdemeanor.
Other provisions in the Nevada Revised Statutes cover issues that also pertain to formal or informal militia activity. These cover the usurpation of law enforcement authority, including people who falsely impersonate police or the military; the display of deadly weapons; and the publication of materials aimed at inciting the commission of a crime.
NRS 197.120 includes a provision on “Crimes By and Against the Executive Power of the State.” It provides that “Every person who shall falsely personate [sic] or represent any public officer . . . or who shall willfully exercise any of the functions or perform any of the duties of such officer, without having qualified therefore [sic] . . . shall be guilty of a gross misdemeanor.”
NRS 202.320 is titled “Drawing deadly [a] weapon in a threatening manner.” Although the title only refers to “drawing” a deadly weapon, Subsection (1) also prohibits exhibiting a deadly weapon “in a rude, angry or threatening manner not in necessary self-defense.”
Having summed up the revised statutes pertaining to militia, the report argues that its provisions should make their activity illegal—whether that’s “poll watching” or “keeping the peace” at BLM marches or “guarding” the police memorial in Carson City.
“Contrary to the apparent perception of many armed militias, nothing in the law allows them to usurp the duties of official law enforcement officers; in fact, any such usurpation is plainly illegal,” the report concludes.
Law enforcement sympathetic to far-right groups
Militia activity in Nevada has received generally hands-off treatment by law enforcement, unless a major crime is committed. Carson City Sheriff Ken Furlong has cited and arrested Black Lives Matter protesters while incidents frequently have armed militia screaming, one through a megaphone, at deputies to arrest the BLM members.
The Minden violence in August is being reviewed by the Nevada Attorney General’s Office following complaints. Douglas County Sheriff Dan Coverley had BLM protesters assigned to a designated area, which allowed them to be surrounded by hundreds of counter-demonstrators, many of them armed and shouting racial and hostile epithets. At least two assaults were recorded on video.
“I am looking for all video or audio recordings of the event,” said Steven LeMaire, criminal investigator with the A.G.’s office. “Also, if you were a victim of a crime that occurred against you on this date, please provide me with the details of the allegations and if you attempted to report the crime to the Sheriff’s office. Please also provide your name and phone number for a follow up interview.” (His number is 702-486-5889.)
The A.G.’s office said it could not confirm an investigation was underway and said LeMaire’s statement was “standard … when we receive complaints on a matter…”
There’s increasing evidence that law-enforcement officers are sympathetic to far-right groups while decrying leftist activities. UNR Police, Sparks Police and the Reno Police Department each have had officers posting antagonistic missives on social media about leftists. In most cases, officers remain on the force, officials won’t comment on their behavior, and they appear to get to keep their jobs with few repercussions, if any.
This Is Reno reached out to the attorney general’s office and sheriffs Coverley and Furlong, as well as Washoe County Sheriff Darin Balaam and Reno Police Chief Jason Soto to seek comment on the report and militia activity in their jurisdictions. Sheriff Balaam’s office informed us that he had been traveling and had yet to read the report. Chief Soto and sheriffs Coverley and Furlong did not respond.
Soto contacted This Is Reno after this story was published and offered the following statement about ensuring integrity in the voting process locally. He said the Reno Police Department will have a presence at polling locations.
“Just yesterday I spoke with the poll watchers at the Double Diamond Athletic Club regarding an individual that was told to leave the premises by RPD because of his inappropriate behavior(s) and poll watcher/staff members stated how incredibly professional officers were in handling the situation,” he said. “Up to this point, this was the only complaint we have received thus far and handled it immediately. I have also assigned eight…officers to work overtime on [Nov. 3] for polling locations to make sure voters feel safe in their environment.
“Although nearly all actual polling locations are being held at schools/county buildings, we (RPD) realize that they are within our city and want to ensure EVERYBODY is able to vote in a safe manner. Finally, RPD has also reached out to School police and [the Washoe County Sheriffs Office] to ensure all voting locations are accounted for,” he added.
Attorney General Ford’s office provided a written statement concerning militia activity:
“AG Ford has been active in the fight against violent extremism in Nevada for years. During the last legislative session, AG Ford sponsored a law to criminalize producing fake court documents – a common tactic used by so-called “sovereign citizens” to scam and terrorize Nevadans. For example, these groups will produce fake liens against properties, send people judgments in fake courts, and even issue fake indictments and arrest warrants. Sovereign citizens were responsible for the Bundy standoff and a plot to kidnap and execute a police officer in Nevada. These individuals often target law enforcement officers, court officials, and others who represent the government of Nevada. In testimony on the bill, law enforcement officers testified to the increasingly aggressive threat from sovereign citizens in Nevada.
“A report from the Department of Homeland Security just weeks ago stated that, “Among DVEs [Domestic Violent Extremists], racially and ethnically motivated violent extremists—specifically white supremacist extremists (WSEs)—will remain the most persistent and lethal threat in the Homeland.”… The DHS report and the report you refer to…specifically reference the threat to election activities. Recognizing this threat and the need to safeguard our elections from any threats that prevent people from voting, AG Ford has taken swift action to protect Nevadans’ right to vote. Our office is working closely with the Secretary of State and our local, state, and federal law enforcement partners to identify any threats to our elections. AG Ford has been very clear: if anyone attempts to intimidate voters or interfere with elections in Nevada, they will be subject to prosecution.“
Is the threat of poll watchers real?
Armed militias “patrolling” peaceful events doesn’t seem likely to be stopped any time soon—and it’s also worth noting that right-wing arms bearers are not the only ones at events these days.
Increasingly, people in support of social justice marches and Black Lives Matter have come to events armed. In fact, it was a BLM supporter who accidentally discharged his weapon at a protest in Carson City in August.
However, when it comes to “poll watching” that’s a different animal—because while poll watching is perfectly legal, voter intimidation is a felony. Armed poll watching thus seems like a clear cut violation.
The report encourages the following from anyone who believes they’ve witnessed voter intimidation at the polls in the coming weeks: “Report any troubling actions to a poll worker and call and report to the nonpartisan Election Protection Hotline: 1-866-OUR-VOTE or the U.S. Department of Justice’s Voting Section at: 1- 800-253-3931.
“Most importantly, do not be misled by the efforts of some to delegitimize the results of this election,” the authors state. “Understand that there are some unique challenges because of COVID-19, so we cannot expect to know the results on election night.
“Please remember that voting is one of our most important rights as Americans, and election officials have the duty to ensure every eligible vote, each voice, is counted. Do not become impatient for the victor to be determined; remember, you can trust the process,” the authors add.
CORRECTION: This article has updated information about the Booglaloo Bois. It is now described it as a movement, not a group as originally reported. Sources were also added detailing the movement’s far-right extremist activities and multiple charges being faced by those associated with the movement.
UPDATE Oct. 23: We updated this story to include a statement from Reno Police Chief Soto, who said he did not receive notice of our attempt to reach him by phone through the city’s media contact phone number.

President Donald J. Trump is unquestionably the king of the United States jungle, which is filled to the brim with myriad pride of lions and cheetah coalitions as of 2020.
A “swamp” works too, but odds still favor the political cat pun covering the intention for the new “Tiger King” odds from an entertaining prop bet.
With unique legal sports betting odds during the coronavirus pandemic becoming an everyday feature at online sportsbooks, oddsmakers frequently look at what’s going viral on the Internet and accept bets on a related unknown outcome.
Tens of millions of Americans are currently practicing social distancing and staying inside to #QuarantineAndChill, so naturally bingeing on Netflix’s latest documentary “Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness” was bound to happen.
As a result, Bovada oddsmakers are now accepting bets on a new “exotic” Trump-themed political proposition.
Unfortunately, the odds don’t favor Joe Exotic—none other than the “Tiger King” himself—convincing President Trump to pardon his 22-year prison sentence for his murder-for-hire conviction, among additional charges.
Will Joe “Tiger King” Exotic Receive A Presidential Pardon By January 20, 2021?
Political Specials at Bovada
- No -1100
- Yes +575
Will Trump Pardon The Tiger King?
Considering both the coronavirus pandemic and Trump’s reelection odds for 2020 are on the line, oddsmakers don’t favor the President pardoning the Tiger King—at least during his first term.
“No” is listed at -1100 odds, meaning an $1100 bet, for example, would win $100 if the Tiger King is freed from his cage. The odds of “no Trump pardon” have an 88.71% implied probability.
But if you predict Trump will release Joe Exotic on a full pardon, then “Yes” is posted at +575. A $100 wager wins $575 but only has an 11.29% chance to happen, according to the oddsmakers.
Tiger King Spoiler-Free Details
To avoid spoilers, we won’t dive into any details of the murder-for-hire plot of the Netflix series in case you want to watch it after getting off work from home or as a first responder during the national emergency.
Joseph A. Maldonado-Passage, a.k.a. Joe Exotic, a.k.a. The Tiger King recently filed a $94 million lawsuit against several people, including some working within the United States government.
After announcing the suit, the Tiger King made a Facebook post from his personal account on March 19 to ask Donald Trump for a presidential pardon.
“This lawsuit has been filed in the name of Justice, The Trump Administration must be made aware of the Overreach, perjury, abuse of power and the failure to uphold the Oath of their position which is truth and Justice for all. The Agencies and its counter parts have abused the system for a private agenda. The Director Dan Ashe used his Government position to creat an illegal monopoly with the AZA and shut down hard working American businesses for self gain. I have been illegally charged with these crimes and the Trump Administration, the United States Department of Interior along witht the Federal Wildlife service must be held accountable for what they have done to me, my parents and my family, along with my animals. Thank you and please share.”
Following Netflix’s initial 7-episode release of the documentary on March 20, celebrities like Kim Kardashian, Cardi B, and Wiz Khalifa have expressed their public support for the Tiger King, which has since become a viral meme sensation.
But after catching the Tiger King by the tail and putting him in prison for 22 years, is President Trump will to risk it given the current status of the country?
With how 2020 has played out so far, it’s probably accurate to say there are no safe bets whenever Trump or the Tiger King are involved.
Just be sure to catch this pardon prop, and not COVID-19, before Trump or the next POTUS is sworn in. |
Bernie Sanders may not be the president you want, but he’s absolutely the president you need. That is, if you’re holding onto hope that one day soon someone will expose all of Area 51’s dirty secrets.
President Bernie Sanders Will Tell Us All About the UFOs
Sanders went on the wildly popular Joe Rogan Experience podcast yesterday to discuss various topics surrounding his presidential campaign.
At the end of the podcast, Rogan finally hit him with the question we’d been waiting for: Would he expose the government’s decades-long alien cover-up?
Sanders confirmed that he would expose Area 51‘s hidden secrets, UFOs and all.
Rogan: “If you got into the office and you found out something about aliens, if you found out something about UFOs, would you let us know?”
Sanders: “Well I tell you, my wife would demand I let you know.”
Rogan: “Is your wife a UFO nut?”
Sanders: “No, she’s not a UFO nut. She goes, Bernie, ‘What is going on do you know? Do you have any access?’”
Rogan: “You don’t have any access? You’ll let us know though?”
Sanders: “Alright, we’ll announce it on the show. How’s that?”
While Bernie has spent far more time talking about the aliens that immigrate to America from other countries, Rogan is a certified space nut. He’s interviewed people like Steven Greer who runs the Center for the Study of Extraterrestrial Intelligence, as well as Bob Lazar, who claims to have seen alien life near Area 51 and other government labs. He’s even had another politician, Congressman Mark Walker, on the podcast to talk UFOs.
There have been very few podcasts that have freaked me out the way the recent one I did with Bob Lazar and @jeremycorbell has. If you’re reluctantly intrigued by the subject of UFOs this documentary on @netflix and… https://t.co/3Dmd7gdHCl

Facebook Halts ‘Storm Area 51’
The infamous government testing site recently leaped into mainstream consciousness due to the Facebook event “Storm Area 51.”
What started as a joke quickly gathered over 2 million attendees. Network stars Steven Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel mentioned it on their TV shows, and PewDiePie riffed on it during his Meme Review. The U.S. Air Force even cautioned people against joining the raid.
Who’s down??? pic.twitter.com/VEfBzXTkX4

The fun came to a halt when Facebook deleted the event. Mastermind Matt Roberts posted a screenshot of Facebook saying the event “went against community standards.”
Facebook has since restored the event, which is now promoting a festival in nearby town Rachel, NV.
Bernie Sanders Would Be the Alien Truther
If any presidential candidate would inform the American people of extraterrestrial life, it would likely be Bernie Sanders.
The Vermont Senator is known for his outside-of-the-box thinking and his calls for political revolution. He came out swinging on the Joe Rogan podcast, immediately calling out the presidential debates.
“You shouldn’t even call them a debate. What they are is a reality TV show in which you have to come up with a sound byte. It’s demeaning. It’s demeaning to the candidates and it’s demeaning to the American people.”
Sanders is one of only eight candidates to have currently qualified for the next round of debates in September. |

Is there a word or concise term for attempting to appear intelligent or refined by taking an unpopular opinion? I'm not sure how to best describe this concept. The best term I can think of at the moment is to be contrarian, but it doesn't seem completely satisfying.
devil's advocate The Free Dictionary:
One who argues against a cause or position, not as a committed opponent but simply for the sake of argument or to determine the validity of the cause or position.
(slightly off-question suggestion)
often refers to a type of argument where the participants fight and quarrel without any reasonable goal. The aim usually is to win the argument and/or to engage into a conflict for the sole purpose of wasting time through arguments, not to potentially discover a true or probable answer to any specific question or topic. Eristic is arguing for the sake of conflict as opposed to the seeking of conflict resolution.
Here are some jokey answers:
- being a hipster
- being in favour of something before it went (or was) mainstream (< web meme)
- "There's not a bandwagon that John won't jump off of."
Well, that last one's my own invention, but it's never caught on.
None of these address the question of appearing intelligent, however. A phrase that suggests self-exclusion if not contrarianism, and for the purpose of appearing superior if not specifically more intelligent, is
- being a tall poppy
I gather it's a more or less recognizable idiomatic expression outside the US but is especially popular in Australia. Note that although the Wikipedia link suggests the user of the phrase "tall poppy" suggests resentment, I've always taken it to be used as an insult against a (would-be) elite. There is probably some migration from an egalitarian to a meritocratic worldview involved here. |
Welcome to The Friday Face-Off, a weekly meme at Books by Proxy. Join us every Friday as we pit cover against cover, and publisher against publisher, to find the best artwork in our literary universe. You can find a list of upcoming topics at Lynn's Books.
This week's topic is:
The mysterious lake – Lake
This week's topic made me immediately think of Carol Goodman The Lake of Dead Languages since it has a lake on the cover and in its title! The Lake of Dead Languages is a great example of a story of mystery situation occurring at a girls' boarding school. I was surprised by how many different editions exist for this book!
This was a tough one because, for once, none of these covers really stood out to me.
I think I have to stick with the 2005 paperback edition that I read, but I also really love how mysterious the 2003 paperback edition is.
What cover(s) do you like the most!? |
Like every other mass shooting before it, the one in Parkland, FL elicited theological questions about the effectiveness of prayer and the goodness of God.
There are good, legitimate reasons for offering “thoughts and prayers.” And even from a secular perspective, prayers are as useful as all the tweets and words people offer in opposition to prayers.
But the deeper issue comes with attempting to answer how God can be good and evils, like school shootings, can exist. Philosophically, this has been called the “problem of evil” and responses that seek to defend God are called “theodicies.”
There are numerous ways to demonstrate how you can reconcile God’s goodness and the existence of evil, but not all of the attempts to defend God’s goodness are actually good themselves.
Take this meme that spreads among Christians after a tragedy in a school.
It’s not a defense of God to say He couldn’t stop school violence because He’s not allowed in schools.
Yes, this “gets God off the hook” for shootings, but we end up with a God that bears no resemblance to the God of the Bible.
A god that is incapable of entering a school due to a government regulation is an impotent god without the ability to stop any evil, much less a school shooting.
Scripture speaks of a God that cannot be stopped by government authority. He freed his people from Egyptian slavery, conquered numerous Middle Eastern armies, and took over the entire Roman Empire.
In modern life, try telling the underground church in China that God is not with them because the government says He does not exist and cannot be worshipped in their country.
An edict that prevents school officials from leading in prayers has no power to stop the God who created the universe.
The meme is blatantly false, but it is also horrifically discomforting.
We are telling those who go through evil circumstances that God may not be with them depending on what the current government regulations may be.
There is no comfort from a god who cannot be with us in our most difficult moments. It’s a good thing that’s not the God we worship as Christians.
Matthew’s Gospel tells us that from His birth Jesus would be known as “Immanuel” — God with us. The very identity of our Savior is wrapped up in His being present with us.
In fact, before He ascended to the Father, He assured us He would be with us always, to the end of the age. I don’t think he added an asterisk to offer the fine print: “Promise null and void if the United States Supreme Court rules state-sponsored prayer a violation of the Constitution.”
God was with those students in the midst of the gunfire to say otherwise is contradictory to all of Scripture and all we know God to be.
In trying to defend Him, we should never redefine Him. He cannot and will not be held back by school policies or government mandates. In that, be thankful. |
Crapitalism: Definition and Cure
by C.A. L'Hirondelle, May 27, 2011
Follow on Twitter
Intro: Writing about 'crapitalism' sounds like a joke or a juvenile rant, however, it is common to describe many modern products as 'crap', and not uncommon to refer to the current market system 'crapitalism' (as can be found in a quick internet or twitter search). A more detailed definition was called for, as well as a proposal for a solution.
see - Crapitalism slideshow (youtube)
Crapitalism takes good resources and turns them into crap in order to keep the consumption/jobs cycle going. Crap products are harmful, wasteful or designed to break. For example, turning good water into high fructose pop that ruins people's health; using good resources to make disposable products destined for the landfill; using good agricultural land to grow ingredients to be used in crap fast food; turning chickens into little fatty meat bombs of hormones and antibiotics. And the ultimate end-of-the-world crap factory - war - makes profits and GDP go up while everything gets blown up. (See Why Peace is Bad For The Economy) There is a way out, and it is not to follow down the road of jobs and growth.
None of this is news. There have been mountains (and forests) of anti-consumption critiques written by environmentalists and Adbuster-type activists. However, a crapitalist critique recognizes that consumption is systemic issue —and not a moral good/bad issue— because the current economy cannot function without high levels of consumption.
Here is a bare-bones description how the current economy functions:
Production + Consumers = Jobs = Money = Life
Production - Consumption - Jobs - Money = Death (shortened lives and ill health)
Production without consumers = bankruptcy. Or, as Adam Smith said, the purpose of production is consumption (Wealth of Nations, 1776).
For example, donut makers need consumers for their donuts, or they go bankrupt. This also holds true for non-profit and public service jobs —all depend on having clients, students, or patients, etc. No consumers, means no money, which leads to poverty, which leads to early graves.
Advocating cuts to consumption without proposing an alternate way for people to get incomes is illogical and unethical, because the economic crash from cutting consumption would crash first on the heads of people on the bottom of the income pyramid.
A crapitalist critique neither demonizes people for their consumption habits nor demonizes people for having jobs in harmful industries; for until there is an alternative income system, what choice do people have? Without a structural change, consumption is required to keep the economy going. No purchases by consumers means no wages for workers.
MONEY FOR ALL OR MONEY FOR NONE
There are two ways humanity could escape the forced-production, forced-consumption (crapitalist) economy: money for all, or no money for anyone.
In the future is it entirely possible that society and the economy will evolve to the point where money—as we know it—will no longer have a purpose.
However, a sudden end to the money system would cause immediate crises for those with least access to resources and the skills and tools necessary to use those resources. It would starkly and swiftly reveal real value, versus fake value. Small scale food farmers, hunters, fishers, plumbers, healers, artisans, crafts people, mechanics, engineers and technicians of all kinds would be highly valued. Media personalities, pundits, economists and other professional BSers
would see their status fall. The rural folk admonition to 'beware of people with clean hands' would take on new resonance.
For some, this may sound like fun, however, under a scarcity-based economic model (even if it is a falsely created one) a sudden switch to a 'no money' economy could also create ugly scenarios envisioned in Mad Max films, or more thoughtfully in Ever Since the World Ended, or more fantastically in Kurt Vonnegut's book Galapagos.
MONEY FOR ALL
A sudden 'no money for anyone' path would be highly disruptive and risky. In contrast, 'money for all' via a universal livable income implemented in each country in the world would at least create the possibility of a peaceful transition from a crapitalist to a livable economy. And, if we end up with a 'no money' economy in the future, it would be a gradual evolution on an abundance-based economic model and not on the scarcity-based model that might lead to a scary Mad Max world.
"This condition of unintelligent respect on the part of the general public is exactly what the financier needs in order to remain unfettered by the democracy"
—Bertrand Russell, The Modern Midas
Before the chorus of 'but where will all the money come from?' starts, we need to understand that money is just a tool humans invented, and so are all the rules about money. There are even rules that countries 'borrow' money and pay interest to private banks (huh!). And the very practice of charging "interest" is actually a mathematical impossibility. Attempting to impose theoretical rules onto a natural physical world is exactly what is driving environmental destruction in the rush to turn natural resources into cash.
|“Living capital [natural capital, human capital, social capital], which has the special capacity to regenerate itself, is the source of all real wealth. To destroy it for money—a number with no intrinsic value—is an act of collective insanity.”
— David Korten, The Difference Between Money & Wealth
Money is not a scientific reality like gravity; there are no scientific rules governing money (this should be obvious to everyone by now). Moreover, if money supply is supposed to correspond to productive output, the rise of digital and 'information' products tosses that equation right out the window. And it should have been tossed out a long time ago: the theory that money comes from production (an idea also held by some on the left) never had any validity since it excludes all unpaid work, mostly done by women, which also happens to be the very work upon which the entire economy depends.
Inventor and futurist Jacque Fresco succinctly explains money vs. the real world:
|"If all the money in the world were destroyed, as long as we have sufficient arable land, the factories, the necessary resources, and technical personnel, we could build anything and even supply an abundance."
People just made up all the rules about money, so we the people can also change these rules. In each country in the world we could amaze ourselves and decide to implement a universal income at a livable level appropriate to conditions. (See Robley George's SocioEconomic Democracy.)
NO VOGON OVERLORDS
As many other basic income writers have emphasized - it would be a universal benefit, going to everyone, and without a bloated means-testing workfare bureaucracy with Vogonic sadistic overlords. John Calvin died over 500 years ago, he probably didn't make much sense then and his Calvinist work ethic is certainly is not the philosophy to be following in a world of automation, digitization and robots.
GOOD VIBRATIONS FROM AN UNCRAP MOVEMENT
An Uncrap movement made possible by a universal livable income* could have other beneficial outcomes. With the stability it would bring, it would create conditions where skills of real value (as previously mentioned) could be learned or relearned in the case of traditional skills that are in danger of being lost.
(Note about hunting: I strongly believe in the vegan diet, however, in certain environments, such as the far north, hunting is an important skill to retain.)
Old tech and new tech could flourish side by side and the false division of work and life could be mended. In spite of current barriers, there are trends already in that direction (e.g. the Swarm Economy).
We could begin to look at questions about work more rationally because our judgment would no longer be distorted by worries over doing away with a critical (tipping point) number of people's jobs.
|"It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his job depends on not understanding it.
FROM CRAP ECONOMY TO LIVABLE ECONOMY
High-quality, aesthetically pleasing, long-lasting products could be made because there would be no cross-purpose of having to make things that don't last in order to perpetuate sales and jobs.
High efficiency innovations in transportation could happen since there would be no cross-purpose of having to perpetuate the 1 in 10 jobs currently in the auto-sector.
Healthy foods and slow foods could flourish since there would be no cross-purpose due to worry of mass unemployment in the fast food sector. A focus on disease prevention and good health could develop since there would be no cross purpose from trying to grow a disease-focused medical and pharmaceutical sectors.
|" 'The best diseases, from a business point of view,' said Crake, 'would be those that cause lingering illnesses. Ideally--that is, for maximum profit--the patient should either get well or die just before all of his or her money runs out.' "
—Margaret Atwood, Oryx and Crake, 2003
And there could be a focus on ensuring healthy environments for children (and child abuse prevention) that would have numerous benefits to create a healthier happier adult population.
The transition could be gradual. The job system would still be around, but there would be less pressure and stress. Currently the urbanization of the world is driven because people move to cities to get jobs. However this trend may reverse: rural environments may see more subsistence enterprises to take root to enhance people's standard of living (e.g. more experimental building techniques, more eco-villages, more small organic gardening).
Innovation in living arrangements would also be immediately possible since current welfare systems are based on a system of penalities. For example, In BC, if people find a way to reduce their rental costs, their benefits are reduced by the same amount. If they get temporary work the extra income is deducted dollar for dollar (exceptions for people on disability benefits).
With less stress and more time, people could engage in community organizing to address problems as they arise (e.g. neighborhood assemblies such as what was in happening in Argentina in 2002). Artisans, crafts people and inventors of all kinds could also find new ways to innovate and collaborate.
To help people who favor having more structure in their lives, VOLUNTARY initiatives could also be started along the lines of what was done in the 1930s in the U.S. with the Civilian Conservation Corp (see the movie Cradle with Rock for an entertaining view of the 1930s WPA).
ON DOING NOTHING
The idea that people would 'do nothing' has been disproved by pilot projects in the 1970s ( Manitoba Mincome); by the pilot project in 2007-9 in Namibia; by the everyday evidence of masses of unpaid work being done by mothers and other unpaid cares; and by those who contribute to the "Swarm Economy".
But even if —worst case scenario— people suddenly want to 'do nothing' and have 'no initiative' this would actually be preferable to people wanting to do destructive economic activities: selling harmful products to children, clear cutting forests, poisoning watersheds while mining, etc. etc. etc. After all, it was human greed-based 'initiative' that drove the pillage of the earth's resources. Having a bit more of 'doing nothing' would actually allow some healing to happen.
I think that there is far too much work done in the world,
that immense harm is caused by the belief
that work is virtuous..."
—Bertrand Russell, In Praise of Idleness, 1932
The idea of people doing nothing is an emotional trigger for many people. They usually have an association from having lived with someone who was a slob who refused to clean up after themselves. Paradoxically, a society with a forced work ethic (often soul-sucking or body-destroying) creates people who rebel against work when they are in their 'free' time. We must differentiate between 'respect-the-earth' laziness from the 'disrespectful-to-others' laziness (systemic vs. individual analysis) or crapitalism is going to eat the planet.

"The job system is a massive diversion machine: wasting precious resources—natural and human—to create mountains of crap."
*Along with guaranteed livable income (GLI), other terms for this policy include basic income guarantee, basic income grant, citizen's income, citizen's basic income, minimum income guarantee, national dividend, citizen's dividend, guaranteed annual income, LIFE grants (Livable Income For Everyone) and Buckminster Fuller's Lifetime Fellowship.
Next in this series of 2011 articles will be a look at the roots of how we think about hard work (from traditional male experiences which excludes unpaid work); and how the overpopulation meme is a sneaky way to blame mothers for all the world's problems.
C.A. L'Hirondelle has been researching and writing about guaranteed livable income from a grassroots perspective since 1998.

Shares in GameStop, Etsy and CD Projekt have jumped following comments about them on his Twitter account. Some of these stocks had been heavily shorted.
"I am become meme, Destroyer of shorts," Musk tweeted. Last Friday he added "#bitcoin" to his Twitter bio, sending the largest cryptocurrency flying. He has since taken the tag off.

Dogecoin was created largely as a satirical critique of the 2013 crypto frenzy, but can still be bought and sold on digital currency exchanges. It regularly makes a comeback during viral crypto rallies, with individuals promoting it on social media. Last week it soared after Carole Baskin talked about it in a video online.
Meanwhile, cryptocurrency ethereum is also on a record-setting spree as investors buy it before the launch of ethereum futures on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange next week. Ethereum rose to record high of $1,698.56 before giving up some of those gains to trade 2.7% lower in early London trading. Bitcoin, the most popular crypto currency, also fell 1.2% to $37,184.
Cryptocurrencies are gaining traction with more mainstream investors, with the total market value of all cryptocurrencies reaching more than $1 trillion for the first time earlier in January.

As of today, Writing About Writing has very close to half a million followers on it's Facebook Page. In addition to conforming the laws governing the "lower half of the internet" when it comes to shitty comments and general assholery, I have to field a lot of messages about buying my page, if I have any advice for young writers, will I publish this thing someone has written, and so much more. Sometimes my reach in a given week exceeds four or five million FB users, and unfortunately that's going to statistically encompass some toxic bigots who will feel entitled to sidle into the comments if for no other reason than to prove that denying them a platform to dehumanize others makes me an enemy to free expression.
However, Facebook is also absolutely the main reason my writing reaches the number of people that it does. For that reason, I have had to stuff my nostalgia for the more insular and compassionate community of two years ago down and figure out what kind of admin I want to be as well.
There has also a been lot of demand for posts where people get to share their work, completed or still in progress, and having "rules" posts for these kinds of exchanges keeps me from having to write them over and over again.
Will I post your thing? Will I read your story? Why did I get banned?

Here is a small selection of Patagonia's many rivers, with our tips on techniques, tackle and tactics to help enjoy these flyfishing venues.
An amazing big-fish river, the Collón Cura provides opportunities for a wide range of gamefishing styles and tactics.
Below: Launching the boats at the start of a very varied day's fishing
This is a big river and in places deep and very fast flowing; however, there are also many places where large trout can be caught in the shallow riffles. Fishing from the bank or by wading is practicable over most of the river, but to cover the water effectively, especially beside the islands formed by fallen willow trees, a good float boat and a professional guide are essential.
In spring there is excellent fishing on the Quemquentreu River, which flows past a wonderful fishing lodge and ranch of the same name; this tributary falls to little more than a braided trickle in high summer, and by then most of the trout have retreated to the main river.
The guides that we use on our hosted trips are the very best, and they can offer expert fishing advice as well as flies suited to the river and the particular time of year.
Below: Jackie and her guide with a fine rainbow caught during our guided trip in 2008
The rainbows range from 15 to 23 inches (a maximum of about 5 lbs) with an occasional bigger fish, while brown trout to 30 inches are not uncommon on this fast-flowing river. The fly hatches are good in spring and in autumn, and there is plenty of surface food for the fish to rise to. On breezy summer days hoppers and crickets get blown in to the margins and are warmly welcomed - particularly by big brown trout lurking in the bank-side shallows.
Below: Andy in contact with a big Collón Cura trout
Ideally you need both a light rod (AFTM #5) as well as one capable of handling large and heavy flies. Dry flies and small nymphs to match the seasonal hatches are supplemented by chunky hopper patterns and streamer lures.
This is a big river - it is typically 75 yards across. It is also amazingly prolific, with 30 to 40 trout hooked per angler day being very common. As for our own experience, in a typical late summer day's fishing we landed an average of 12 to 15 large trout each, including several rainbows over 18 inches long (the best 21 inches) and a few brown trout 16 to 22 inches long (up to about 4 lbs in weight) as well as catching many other fish in the 12 to 15 inch region. (Brown trout up to 15 lbs have been caught on this river in recent years.)
Below: Pat with a nice rainbow trout from the Collón Cura
If you join a guided trip to Patagonia, while fishing the Collón Cura we are sure that you will really enjoy staying at the nearby Quemquemtreu Lodge, which provides convenient access to many miles of the most productive part of the Collón Cura River.
Estancia (Lodge) Quemquentreu is an amazing place, full of history and yet providing great comfort at very affordable prices. The estate stretches over 160,000 acres and is fully functional as a working ranch, rearing beef cattle and polo ponies, and yet the Lodge itself is well equipped to meet the needs of fishing guests.
A barn has been converted into a high-standard (free - this is not the land of bills littered with 'extras'!) bar, with a separate Pool room and a shop selling locally-produced woven goods and jewelery - great presents to take back to those you left at home!
Below: The Pool Room
The service for breakfast and evening meals (people eat late in Argentina - 9pm or sometimes later!) is also excellent, and if you want washing done it is on a same-day service basis. Outside there are facilities for hanging waders to dry under cover.
Below: A great barbecue at Quemquemtreu Lodge
Bedrooms are to a very good standard too, and the extensive grounds around the Lodge are home to a host of wildlife, including red deer and the occasional armadillo, making that after-dinner or before-breakfast walk all the more enjoyable.
You may already have mastered some or even many of the fishing techniques that give best results on Patagonia rivers; if not then the guides will ensure that you do. But the real bonus of this top-class guiding is the tactical advice and practical help you get: how you need to move a surface lure differently in fast water, slow water, deep and shallow areas, for example; how to set up the nymphing gear for different locations and flow conditions; which areas are likely to hold the quality fish in particular light and water conditions through the day. This kind of expertise is not acquired easily; it's the result of detailed surveys and hundreds of days of effort on prime stretches of the river. We cannot commend it highly enough.
This is one of the smaller rivers we have fished in Patagonia and it is an excellent choice for both experienced anglers and those new to fly fishing who would like the opportunity to target big fish in a small river set in magnificent scenery.
Below: Pat with a fine brown trout from the Filo Hua Hum River
We fished over three days on the eight miles of river that are privately accessed from the Tres Lagos (Three Lakes) Lodge. The water was very varied with lovely deep pools and riffles, and we had great fun chasing both brown and rainbow trout up to 27 inches using a range of techniques from dry flies with nymphs on droppers to streamers fished in the deep pools.
Below: Sue with a good rainbow from a deep pool close to the lodge
The Filo Hua Hum is a short river running between two lakes, and we spent some time fishing the Filo Hua Hum Lake, which is overlooked by the lodge and cabins. From a boat we cast towards the reeds surrounding the lake and in the shallower, weed-filled areas where large trout cruise looking for terrestrial insects blown into the lake margins. Early mornings and calm evenings are the best time to enjoy this kind of fishing.
Below: Pat on the upper reaches of the Filo Hua Hum
The rainbows range from 15 to 20 inches (a maximum of about 5 lbs) with an occasional bigger fish, while brown trout to 30 inches are not unknown on this beautiful, meandering river. The fly hatches are good in spring and autumn, and there is plenty of surface food for the fish to rise to at other times, because on breezy summer days hoppers and crickets get blown into the margins of the lake and the river.
We cannot speak too highly of the Tres Lagos Lodge. The accommodation is in beautifully appointed cabins, adjacent to the lodge, which overlook the Filo Hua Hum Lake. Up to six anglers can be accommodated at a time. In the tranquil mornings, the mist rises off the lake, and the view, set against the backdrop of the hills and mountains of the Lanin National Park, is absolutely spectacular. Our hosts at the lodge are Domingo and Ginny Fernandez-Besteched, who give all their guests a welcome guaranteed to make them feel completely at home. All our excellent meals were served in the main lodge and cooked by Ginny, who was the former owner of the restaurant El Radal in San Martin. Much time was spent scribbling down recipes for some of the delicious dishes, all created by Ginny herself. For one of the best, see below:
Below: Tres Lagos Lodge
Core four medium-sized bramley apples or other tart-tasting apples. Place the cored apples in a buttered ovenproof dish the right size to keep them standing upright. Fill the centre of the apples with sugar - white is fine but brown (demerara) would give a richer toffee flavour - and then pour in some red wine; Ginny uses, of course, fine Argentine Malbec but any full-bodied dry red wine would do, and make sure there is just a little bit of wine in the bottom of the dish. Place the dish in an oven at a temperature of around 180 degrees C (355 degrees F) and cook until the apples are soft and the skins begin to burst. Serve warm or cold with pouring cream for a taste of Tres Lagos heaven!
Below: One of Ginny's fabulous dinners
Horse riding is a speciality at Tres Lagos, and it is possible to go out every day and enjoy the beautiful scenery and spectacular wildlife on horseback. By arrangement with Tres Lagos Lodge and another lodge situated on the other side of the mountains, you can also undertake a two day accompanied trek by horse through the mountain passes with overnight camping during the trip.
Widely considered one of the world's best dry-fly rivers, the Malleo runs out from the Tromen lake, beneath the spectacular Lanin Volcano (now extinct and snow-capped throughout the year) in the Andes mountain range.
In its upper reaches the river is slow and meandering, providing a challenging dry-fly experience quite similar to that of North America's spring creeks or the chalk rivers of southern England. The middle reaches are faster with more difficult wading and higher banks, making access more of a challenge in places, but it has a remote 'explorer' feel to it. The lower Malleo offers very varied fishing with good pools, riffles and glides between willow-lined banks. Fishing throughout the river is from the bank or by wading; there is no boat fishing.
The brown trout and rainbows range from one to three pounds with an occasional bigger fish. The fly hatches are prolific in spring and in autumn, but even in summer there is plenty of surface food for the fish to rise to.
Light tackle (AFTM #4 or #5 rod) and fine tippets are essential if you are to get the best from this majestic stream. Distance casting is not required, but this is a great place to hone your accuracy skills. Dry flies and small nymphs to match the seasonal hatches are all you really need on the Malleo.
This is a medium-sized river, typically 20 yards across, and if you move cautiously along the river some very fine trout can be caught within a ten to fifteen yard cast. In one day's fishing Sue caught more than forty trout, including several rainbows over 15 inches and a brown trout of 20+ inches (about 3.4 lbs in weight) taken on a size 22 nymph. The lower reaches are particularly good for beginners, while the more demanding upper river tends to offer more specimen fish, but they are not so easy to deceive in the clear, calm waters of the upper Malleo.
While fishing the Malleo we stayed at the San Huberto Lodge. Estancia (Lodge) San Huberto is an amazing place, providing great luxury at very affordable prices. The estate stretches over 25,000 acres and provides more than 30 miles of private access to Malleo River.
Below: San Huberto Lodge
This very beautiful, traditional-style fishing lodge can accommodate up to 12 anglers. We know of nowhere in the UK that comes near to it in terms of quality and facilities. The service and food for breakfast and evening meals (people eat late in Argentina - 9pm or sometimes later!) are also excelent.
Below: The bar and lounge
Attached to the lodge building there are special racks for storing made-up rods and facilities for hanging waders to dry in a secure under-cover area.
Below: The dining room
Bedrooms are to a five-star standard too, and the extensive lawns around the Lodge are planted with broadleaf and coniferous trees from many countries.
The Limay River is a world-class game fishery, renowned for its specimen brown trout and big, hard-fighting rainbow trout. This is not a beginner's river, but don't be daunted by its size and reputation: with the right guiding any reasonably competent flyfisher can enjoy success on this big-fish venue.
Below: A Limay rainbow comes (far from meekly) to the net
The Limay River, in the Comahue region of northwest Patagonia, flows out of Nahuel Huapi Lake and winds its 380 km course gathering water from a number of major tributaries including the Traful, Pichileufú and Collón Curá rivers before meeting the Neuquén River to create the Río Negro. There are five major dams on the Limay, used for hydroelectricity generation. (The resulting reservoirs cover a vast area and have in effect reduced by 70 km the length of the flowing river from an original 450km.)
The brown trout of the Limay are legendary, with plenty of fish in the 20 to 28 inch region. Our best brown trout, which Pat caught in March 2008, was a monster 32 inch hen fish with an estimated weight somewhere between 14 and 16 lb. (Naturally, we returned all fish without the delay and stress involved in weighing them.)
The Limay also holds good stocks of big rainbow trout averaging 18 inches in length. Fish of 20 to 22 inches are quite common, with a few specimens reaching 25 inches.
Below: Pat with a specimen wild brown trout from the Limay River
When the hatches of mayflies or sedges bring trout to the surface it is well worth fishing a matching dry fly, especially in the shallow margins and drop offs at the heads of pools; however, the very biggest fish do not often rise to such tiny morsels. Hoppers and crickets make a tempting snack even for quite large trout, but the largest trout are invariably predators that feed on smaller fish or on crustaceans such as Pancora crabs. Pancoras look rather like crayfish but are more oval in shape.
Below: Pancoras swim quickly using their tails and bunching their claws and legs so that they look rather like squids
The river is best fished by floating (the guides provide stable, well-equipped boats that each carry two anglers plus the guide who mans the oars. Some of the shallower areas and margins can be easily fished by wading or even from the shore, and this is essential because on this fast-flowing river no boatman can be expected to row all day! Streamer lures representing minnows and other small fish can be quite effective, but it's certainly not necessary to cast heavy streamers to succeed on this great river. If you join a hosted/guided trip, you will learn about a range of other techniques and tactics for catching the big trout for which the rivers of Patagonia are so renowned.
Most of our fish were caught on AFTM #6 rods 9.5 ft long, but an AFTM #6 or 7 double-handed 12 ft rod is certainly not excessively heavy when using large flies.
You need to be a fairly competent caster to get best results on this big and in places brawling river - it's typically at least 50 yards and in places up to 200 yards wide along most of its length. In two days' fishing, Pat and Sue caught 32 rainbow trout of lengths between 15 and 21 inches and 11 brown trout of lengths between 16 and 32 inches. Everyone in our party caught fish each day.
Running through the Traful Valley, this crystal-clear river is situated in the most magnificent scenery with towering rocks, sculpted by wind and rain, standing sentinel as you fish for the trophy brown and rainbow trout that make this river their home. The Traful runs between two lakes, and is one of only five rivers in the world renowned for its population of landlocked Atlantic salmon. The possibility of landing one of these rare and beautiful fish which are up to 18lbs in weight, adds a special frisson of excitement to every cast.
We fished the Traful over three days, catching some magnificent brown trout up to 21 inches and many rainbows around the 20 inch mark. And it is these special fish for which the river is known – absolute quality rather than quantity. The fishing is not ideal for beginners and requires the casting of streamers and large dry flies in order to attract the attention of these big predatory trout. It is a great place to get fit. Although there are some gorgeous, smooth glides and pools, the majority of the fishing is reached by hiking over boulder-strewn river edges, and some of the boulders in the lower stretches are huge.
The ideal setup for the low water conditions we fished would be a 9ft 6in #7 single-handed rod with a floating line. This would provide enough backbone to cast big flies, including weighted streamers, to the likely lies of the fish. In higher water conditions, a small, double-hander (up to 13ft) would not go amiss and would make light work of both the heavy flies and the casting distances required in order to connect with the quarry.
Staying at the Arroyo Verde lodge, which has been described by Forbes Magazine as 'the finest fishing lodge in the world', is a truly wonderful experience. The estancia is owned and managed by Meme Lariviere and her daughters, who have hosted many distinguished fishermen over the years. The rooms are very comfortable and each has its own bathroom. Meals are taken with the family in their lovely dining room, and the candle-lit dinners each evening are special events with the kind of food and conversation guaranteed to stimulate even the most exhausted of fishermen! About 5 minutes from the main lodge there is a log cabin overlooking Lago Traful – the view has to be one of the best in the world. It sleeps 2 to 4 guests comfortably but could equally well be a perfect honeymoon retreat.
The ranch offers horseback and trekking excursions through the beautiful surroundings and these activities provides an ideal opportunity to see and enjoy the outstanding wildlife of the area. In spring the variety of wildflowers is amazing, and this is a great location for birdwatchers – during our visit we saw several of the elusive Andean condors and many other falcons and eagles soaring over the mountains. Fishermen are best placed to see the lovely (and large) Ringed Kingfishers (Ceryle torquata) which accompany them on the river bank and frequently prove to be more skilled in the art of catching fish than they are.

Bobby Bonilla, the man who is currently getting paid more than any member of the worst unit in all of professional sports, celebrates the golden anniversary of his birth today. Did you know the Mets will be paying him 1,193,248 dollars and twenty cents this year and every year until he's 72 years old? No word if the Mets are planning to get Bonilla a gift, though they are contractually obligated to present him with a check for 1,193,248 dollars and twenty cents every summer from now until the year 2035. One imagines that Bobby Bo will probably throw himself a party today. He can afford to make it a fancy one, as he's still on the Mets payroll and will receive 1,193,248 dollars and twenty cents annually for the next 22 years. Bobby Bonilla. $1,193,248.20. 2035.
If, for some reason, you're curious to read a take on Bonilla's contract that goes beyond the obvious angle, Erik Malinowski of Buzzfeed Sports published this article on Thursday. It's a nice reminder that the deferred payment plan was common knowledge for over a decade before it became a LOLMets meme. If you follow Adam Rubin on Twitter and aren't blocked, feel free to point out that his material is eleven years old the next time he lobby a Bobby Bonilla joke.
- Chris Aguila is 34. In 2008, Aguila got the call to replace Moises Alou on the Mets' active roster when the oft-injured left fielder hit the disabled list for, as it turned out, the final time in his 17-year career. Aguila went 1-for-2 with a base knock in his first game. He'd appear in seven more contests, poking another single and drawing two walks before getting banished to Triple-A New Orleans for the remainder of the year.
- Miracle Met Ken Boswell is 67. The second baseman made his MLB debut with New York in 1967 and cracked the starting lineup the following year as the lefty-swinging side of the platoon manager Gil Hodges implemented at the keystone. Boswell was one of the Mets' hottest hitters in the summer of '69, reaching base in just over 45% of his plate appearances from August until the end of the regular season. His hot streak continued into October, as he connected for a pair of home runs in NLCS sweep of the Braves and went 1-for-3 in his lone World Series start. By the time the Mets returned to the Fall Classic in 1973, Boswell had been bumped to second on the depth chart behind Felix Millan, but he did produce a few more memorable postseason moments by tying the then-record for most pinch hits in a World Series by stroking three singles in three at-bats.
- Ron Hunt, the man who preceded Ken Boswell as the Mets' starting second sacker, turns 72 today. Hunt burst on to the scene in 1963, connecting for ten homers and finishing as the runner up to Pete Rose for NL Rookie of the Year despite being essentially the same player. As I wrote back in November:
Both were 22 years of age. Both played the keystone. Both had last names that were four-letter words that could be used as either a noun or a verb. As for the stats, both were worth 2.1 wins above replacement according to Baseball Reference. Both posted identical on-base percentages (.334). The two even came within one point of hitting for the same average. Hunt made up that slight difference by showing more pop.
- While Rose would go on to have the better career, Hunt proved to be the superior player in the short term. According to Baseball Reference, he was worth almost two and a half more wins than Charlie Hustle in 1964. He also became the first Met to start an All-Star Game that season, an honor that carried extra significance since the exhibition was played at Shea Stadium. A separated shoulder limited Hunt to just 57 games during the '65 campaign, but he returned to the starting lineup and the Midsummer Classic the following year. That would be his last as a Met, however. In the offseason, the team traded him to the Dodgers for fellow two-time All-Star Tommy Davis. It was on the West Coast that Hunt discovered his true talent: getting hit by pitches. He led the NL in the stat every season from 1968 to '74, peaking with an incredible 50 plunks in 1971. "Some people give their bodies to science," Hunt said at the time, "I give mine to baseball."
- Finally, lefty Don Shaw celebrates his 69th birthday. Shaw tossed 63-plus innings of relief for the Mets between 1967 and '68, striking out 55 batters and posting a 2.56 ERA. That impressed the Expos enough to take him with the 40th pick of the 1968 expansion draft. Shaw was back on the Shea Stadium mound almost exactly six months later, albeit it in Montreal blue, picking up the first ever win for the new franchise on Opening Day 1969.
Amazin'-ly Tenuous Connection
On this date in 2000, guitarist Carlos Santana won a record-tying eight Grammys for his album Supernatural. Track number five on the much-lauded long player is "Smooth", the song that blares over the Citi FIeld speakers before Johan Santana's starts. Even though it means committing a heinous act (i.e. rooting to hear more Rob Thomas), here's hoping the stadium system is booming plenty of "Smooth" this summer. |
Is This Famous Rock Star Secretly Taylor Swift’s Father?
Let's make one thing clear: Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan is not Taylor Swift's father, despite the insistence of some web-based pop conspiracy theorists and meme-makers. Swift's dad, a man named Scott Kingsley Swift, is a top financial advisor and business owner—not one of alt-rock's most iconic musicians. But that didn't stop Corgan from acknowledging the bizarre rumors anyway, which he did in a decidedly Corgan (read: confusing) manner yesterday.
On Friday (July 27), Corgan shared a meme pointing out facial similarities between him and the pop star on Instagram, where he treated followers to a lengthy diatribe about Swift, "Digital Age culture" and identities.
"You have to love the Internets. Seems this is a new meme going around (someone sent this to me) where I guess the question is(?): Is T Swift my child," Corgan wrote.
"Hmm...I'll take the compliment of the comparison here despite the fact that I guess the jokes on me? (and not the lovely and talented Miss Swift)," he continued, continuing to muse on the nature of "image/self-esteem/God/and self-love"—though whatever any of that has to do with people thinking he's Taylor Swift's dad is beyond us.

I'm actually going to recommend you go over to Michelle Malkin's place and look at the photos. The photos are of the various ill-named "tea parties" that right-wingers have been throwing all around the country.
Now look, it's obvious that I think the people in these photos are either ill-informed or are just suckers for a system that's using them, but their reaction to government action that bothers them is something I celebrate, even if they don't seem to get that their analogy of the tea party is historically inaccurate. I'm a lover of protest, because it shows that people care deeply enough about something to get off their asses or from behind their computers and actually inconvenience themselves to advance something they believe in.
That's why I try to do it myself when I can. Too many times I've satisfied myself by saying that I was doing my part by blogging about something, instead of putting myself out there in public, and I realized that I was only fooling myself. Blogging can only be a small part of any activism--eventually, you've got to get out there and have a presence. Some of these people did it in crappy weather, and for some, no doubt, it was their first experience at public protest, which can be tough.
My first experience with it came during the run-up to the Iraq War, in the fall/winter of 2002 when I was a grad student at Arkansas. I ended my class early and walked over to the big area between the library and the student union, and was surprised by the size of the crowd. Fayetteville, while liberal by Arkansas standards, was still in Arkansas, after all, and I was actually nervous about "coming out" as a liberal, you might say. But after that one, I was hooked, because I saw the power that numbers gives you--not political power, but the feeling that you're not alone.
So even though I think the people protesting the stimulus package are incorrect on the facts and unaware of the potential damage the nation faces if the government doesn't do what it's doing, I celebrate their willingness to put themselves out there and express their feelings on the matter. Good for them.
P.S. Notice I said look at the pictures. The accompanying text is full of the nutballery you'd expect from Malkin. But the pictures are nice, and the signs are, umm, illuminating.
So here's a funny little story about an exercise club in New York that offers light saber classes. (One presumes he's gotten Lucas's blessing on this, given how notoriously anal he is about protecting his intellectual property.) And it's being touted as a weight loss program as well, because it combines fencing and martial arts, which is also probably good.
But then there's this section:
Before you write this off as nothing more than the ultimate nerd-fest for boys, Flynn says that about one-third of the participants in New York groups are women.Is the writer saying that the women who are taking part in this aren't nerds, that there's something inherent about womanhood that negates nerdiness? Because let me tell you, that's just not so.
I say this as a proud nerd, mind you. I'm not really a Star Wars nerd--I'm more a Trekkie type, and worse, a Voyager fan/DS9 disliker, which puts me in a really small sub-category of Trekkies. The fact that I can differentiate myself in such a way speaks to my nerd cred, I believe. And I know some women who can go toe-to-toe with me in these realms (Amy's one of them--sorry to out you like that, sweetie).
Nerdly women aren't even that unusual, to be quite frank about it. It's just that there's a societal expectation that nerds are supposed to be male (and socially pathetic, but that's another story) and we all know what happens when we try to bust down expectations--lazy people object, because it disrupts their way of seeing the universe.
So even though I'm not the kind of guy to join a health club (at all) that teaches how to fight with a light saber, I applaud those men and women who do so. Wear your nerd colors with pride, masculine or feminine.
Forget "bipartisanship" or "reaching out to the other side." There has been a change of tone in Washington DC, though it's not the type typically discussed by the DC crowd. I'm talking about honest budgets, where wars aren't paid for by emergency funding, or where we're not pretending like the economy isn't crap. And I'm talking about rescinding Bush administration rules with Orwellian names that privilege religious rights over individual rights.
Candidate Obama (unfairly) took some heat for some "present" votes in the Illinois Senate when the matter of choice came up, and there were some political opponents who tried to cast him as less than solid on womens' rights. But his actions as president--repealing the global gag rule, for example--have already shown where he stands on the issue, and this news about the ill-named "conscience rule" will make that even clearer.
Taking another step into the abortion debate, the Obama administration Friday will move to rescind a controversial rule that allows health-care workers to deny abortion counseling or other family-planning services if doing so would violate their moral beliefs, according to administration officials.Now the article later says that the Obama administration "will consider drafting a new rule to clarify what health-care workers can reasonably refuse for patients." So now our job as activists is clear--let the Obama administration know that any rule that precludes women from being able to get the treatment they deem necessary is unacceptable, than when a woman's health and a medical professional's conscience clash, the person with the heath issue wins, unequivocally, and every time.
Edit: Amy felt I needed to be clearer about some of the specifics here, so I'm adding this. Rescinding the current rule would not change the much older one that allows doctors and nurses to refuse to perform surgical abortions--that one would stay in place. What would be rescinded is the far vaguer rule that the Bush administration put in at the last moment, and which could have extended that conscience rule to include people who clean surgical instruments used in said procedures or pharmacists who don't want to fill lawfully prescribed medications like emergency contraception.
Because when I saw this, I assumed that "triple-hopped" was a version of the triple jump. Alas, no. It's Miller Lite's latest ad campaign, an attempt to convince ML drinkers that they're not drinking a bland, inoffensive macro-brew with all the soul of a Backstreet Boys tribute band. I'll let Slashfood take it from here.
I've created a new ad campaign for Miller Lite. It will be their best, most honest yet: Miller Lite is Miller Lite. If you don't know what Miller Lite tastes like, go drink one! They're easy to find. On the flip side, if you regularly drink Miller Lite (or brew Miller Lite), don't be ashamed of it. Everyone who has ever grabbed an ML knew exactly what he or she was getting. And that's fine, it's a matter of personal taste and preference. But don't try to re-frame Miller Lite as something fancy or finely crafted. When I eat Kraft Mac & Cheese, I do it because I'm jonesing for some Kraft flavored mac or trying to save a little cash, not because I'm going to delude myself into pretending its smothered with gruyere and parmigiana reggiano.I'll give the Miller people this much--at least they acknowledge the fact that beer is supposed to taste like hops, as opposed to the people at Coors, who argue that their light beer is supposed to taste like cold.
Somehow I missed out on the "no homo" phenomenon--probably because much as I like hip-hop, my tastes run more toward the less commercial, more political variety. I first heard about it last fall when a student of mine wrote a paper about the term in response to an excerpt from Leslie Savan's book titled Slam Dunks and No-Brainers--good essay, well, as good as a freshman-level can hope to be in general.
But I saw this video on The Rumpus yesterday, and it explained the whole story, and in the meantime, points out an important lesson in trying to use potentially offensive terms in a ironic way. It's worth watching.
Before I begin this mini-rant, I want to say that I'm fairly sure that the US doesn't have a better track record than Britain does in this area, so this should be taken as any sort of self-righteous "US is more sensitive than Britain" thing. But seriously, British parents who are freaking out because a children's tv host has a physical disability need to grow the hell up.
When the BBC hired a pretty young actress to co-host a daily program for toddlers, it never expected viewers to complain that the young woman might give their children nightmares.First of all, your kids probably aren't going to freak, especially not the small ones, unless you make a big deal out of it. I have some experience in this--Amy's uncle's leg was amputated below the knee, and he has a prosthesis which he enjoys taking off in public. He does it for shock value as much as for comfort, but the fact is that while adults might be a little taken aback by it, little kids are often in awe of it. To them, it's cool that you can detach a leg--they don't have the experience necessary to understand that it's odd.
“I didn't want to let my children watch the filler bits on the bedtime hour last night because I know it would have played on my eldest daughter's mind and possibly caused sleep problems,” wrote one viewer in an e-mail to the British television network after seeing Cerrie Burnell play games and read children’s stories.
The viewer’s problem? Burnell was born with an incomplete right arm that ends in a stump below her elbow.
And frankly, that's what we ought to be working toward--a society that acknowledges disability and makes accomodations for it, but which treats the disabled as full members of society rather than as freaks. And heart attacks over a television network putting a disabled person in full view says a lot about the people having them.
As if I don't already have enough on my plate, I've started this, titled "Helen Webster's Diary." Helen Webster is, I believe, a great grandmother of mine, who was a teenager in the 1890s. Beyond that, I know nothing. My grandmother's sister (great-aunt? I can never keep these things straight) found this diary probably ten years ago and photocopied it for everyone in the family who wanted a copy. My sister passed it along to me, as a curiosity of sorts, and it's been sitting in a portable file cabinet ever since. I'd long planned to transcribe it, but frankly, the job seemed overwhelming, especially since the handwriting is small and has gone through the photocopier a few times.
But then I saw this story and was inspired. I'll just start a basic blog and post a new diary entry every day. And I find myself approaching this not as a task, but as a joy. I've had to force myself not to transcribe more than a day at a time, and in fact, I find myself deliberately delaying the transcription so as to increase the pleasure I'm getting from it so far.
I've put three entries up so far, and plan to run this until it's done. It's a way of making the diary more permanent, I guess, and if other people get a kick out of following Helen Webster's diary, that's lagniappe.

The world is changing, the economy is riling, and we're stumbling into a future where people are their own personal corporations, moving from professional affiliation to private enterprise and on to the "next thing," always juggling too many tasks and playing too many roles, required to live their lives creatively and originally, to think without boxes, to anticipate futures, and to match all this hard work and effort with what we in America idealistically call "the pursuit of Happiness."
By this measure, virtually everyone in America should be engaging in a nuanced liberal arts education: learning to be a citizen and a thinker, learning how to live and how to learn to do, learning how to be in the company of mankind, mystery, and history at once. And to find meaning in this. But now is the exact time when people, stupidly, are running into holes and seeking out the University-sponsored equivalent of vo-tech.
...a traditional liberal arts education is, by definition, not intended to prepare students for a specific vocation. Rather, the critical thinking, civic and historical knowledge and ethical reasoning that the humanities develop have a different purpose: They are prerequisites for personal growth and participation in a free democracy, regardless of career choice.Everything that follows this is, in my opinion, moot, because the problem is the premise. If the changes in the world are driving people away from the humanities, that is the problem, and someone needs to correct it: people need perspective, wisdom, and the ability to make connections that are both imaginative and reasoned, people need to learn the skills of lifelong learning, creativity, and sense of the human condition, past actions, consequences, and so on.
But in this new era of lengthening unemployment lines and shrinking university endowments, questions about the importance of the humanities in a complex and technologically demanding world have taken on new urgency
reenacted by dog and kitty.
A U.S. soldier on active duty in Iraq has called President Obama an "impostor" in a statement in which he affirmed plans to join as plaintiff in a challenge to Obama's eligibility to be commander in chief....Great, buddy. You keep having those concerns. President Obama is busy actually doing stuff right now.
"As an active-duty officer in the United States Army, I have grave concerns about the constitutional eligibility of Barack Hussein Obama to hold the office of president of the United States," wrote Scott Easterling in a "to-whom-it-may-concern" letter.
I have to assume that the reason behind these claims is an attempt to do to President Obama what many of the same people tried to do to President Clinton--undermine his legitimacy with a wide enough segment of the population so as to make it difficult for him to govern. With Clinton it was an imaginary illegitimate black child, a land deal where he and his wife lost money, drug smuggling into a small Arkansas airstrip, state troopers running interference for him while he fooled around (okay that one might have some legs), and a so-called trail of bodies of people he had killed because they got in his way.
With Kerry, they went after his war record, and they played he-said he-said games that turned a heroic war record into a morass of lies--all told by the Orwellian Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.
With Obama, it's the name and the Kenyan father that makes for the natural target, and since these people don't seem to have anything better to do with their days than spin fantastic stories and file frivolous lawsuits, that's what they're doing. It doesn't matter that the story makes less sense than the plot of the bastard child of National Treasure and The DaVinci Code--the more insane the better for these people. I guess they're banking on the whole "it's so crazy it can't possibly be made up" mindset. I'm amazed that Glenn Beck hasn't had them on yet. Maybe he's waiting until he thinks the time is right.
Doctors recommend that all pregnant women be offered screening for Down syndrome, and about half of women undergo the tests. But the current tests often produce confusing, ambiguous results, unnecessarily alarming couples or falsely reassuring them. The new tests are designed to offer more definitive results early in the pregnancy.I'm sure that by reducing this discussion to simply a matter of a woman's right to choose, I'll be accused by some of advocating for the abortion of fetuses with Down's Syndrome, so let me put that to rest right now. I'm not. I'm advocating for the ability of pregnant women to make informed decisions about their reproductive health and nothing more. It doesn't make one bit of difference to me whether a woman chooses to abort a pregnancy because the child is going to be developmentally challenged, because she's economically unable to take care of even a healthy child , or because she's just decided that this isn't the time for her to have a child. Hell, if she just wants to do it for fun, that's her call--for me, being pro-choice means that individual women get to choose what they do with their bodies, even if it's something that would make me cringe. Genitalia piercing makes me cringe too, in a completely different way, but I don't think we should outlaw that either.
But with the first new approach due to become available this spring, the tests are renewing questions about why regulators do not require such innovations to be proved reliable before being offered to the public.
Abortion opponents, meanwhile, fear that the technology may prompt more couples to terminate pregnancies. And advocates for the disabled, noting that couples are often poorly informed about the syndrome, worry that more of them may feel pressured to abort. They also fear a dwindling number of those born with the condition, along with the prospect of increased discrimination against them and their families.
But it's a situation like the one mentioned in this article that makes choice that much more important. Children are, at the best of times, a handful, even if you have access to plenty of resources. Special needs children are that much more of a handful, and not everyone can handle the challenges that come along with them. And if a woman looks at her situation and says to herself that she can't handle the added burden of a special needs child, who the hell am I to suggest that she has a duty to do so?
I hope that in the near future, medical technology will progress to the point where we can treat fetuses in the womb, where women aren't left with the crappy dichotomy of abortion versus special needs child. But right now, that's often the situation for women facing this reality, which is why it's important to leave this decision in the hands of the people facing the majority of the burden.
Get on out there and sin, y'all. And listen to some good music while you're at it. Here's a start.
I don't know what to make of this possibility, except to think that it might be the worst idea ever for a movie, and that's saying something in a world that still contains copies of An American Carol.
IGN says that Universal Pictures has teamed up with Glen A. Larson to create his long-awaited movie on the "Battlestar" franchise which would pick up from his original series and ignore anything that has taken place on the SciFi Channel since 2003. Universal Pictures is owned by NBC Universal, as is the SciFi Channel.The only upside here--and I'm really stretching to find one--is that maybe Dirk Benedict would be mocked so roundly that he would stop publishing this "essay" every couple of months. Or maybe not--self-awareness isn't his strong suit.
It's the next American Revolution. I'd have posted on this silliness earlier, but I've been swamped all day, and it's just as well, because I found all sorts of related nuttery to add in. Michelle Malkin has been "organizing" these protests against the stimulus package and calling them "tea parties," and not in the Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back sense of the term.
As I pointed out in the comments Rick's place, Malkin and her acolytes have the history wrong. The battle cry during the American Revolution was "no taxation without representation." Malkin et al have representation--they just lost the election. After the last eight years of being told that I needed to just deal with the fact that the Republicans had won, I think I'm justified in saying that Malkin and her crew need to put on their big girl and big boy undies and deal.
But no, they're not doing that. No, they're talking revolution, and they're hanging the stupid out there for everyone to get a whiff of.
Obama and the Democratic-controlled Congress, who are so anxious to raise income taxes on the "rich," will be in for a rude surprise. There is nothing Obama can do about people who would rather not work than have the fruits of their labors confiscated, or who structure their lives to avoid taxation.I'll give Jacobsen this much--he's right that there's nothing President Obama could do about people who would rather not work. I mean, I'm presuming that said people wouldn't apply for welfare and would be turned down for unemployment benefits--don't want to be sucking off the government teat, after all.
In addition to protest, supporters of the Tea Party would do well to change their economic behavior to deprive Obama of what he wants most, your tax dollars. Invest in municipal bonds, carefully manage your investments to minimize taxable income, do everything possible and legal to insulate yourself from creating taxable income. In so doing, you will doom Obama's plans because the inability to raise tax revenues will cause Obama to move to more confiscatory tactics, and then the political revolt really will begin, as it has throughout history. Can you say 1994?
But it's a poster (pseudo)named Florida (of course) in the comments who really goes all in.
If this minority began restructuring their incomes to avoid being taxed ... the government would merely change the laws to tax this group via an alternative route. Do you think the government is merely going to stand for your insolence?Again, to Jacobsen's credit, he says in the very next comment that the last two words are "a step too far," but read the comments that follow--Jacobsen is pretty much alone in that crowd. There's talk about how Florida is only talking about history and how gun and ammo sales are the only strong part of the economy right now and so on.
No, they're not going to stand still for it.
Look at California. Republican Governor. Pledged not to raise taxes when he was running. Today ... is raising taxes.
So, you can't avoid this even if you vote Republican. Deck is stacked my man, and you're out of cards.
There's only one way and it's the way of Paul Revere and all of our other forefathers ... be willing to spill tea.
And this is only one site. Glenn Greenwald posted earlier today about a piece Glenn Beck (who else?) did on Fox News gaming out the next Civil War.
In the segment below, he convened a panel that includes former CIA officer Michael Scheuer and Ret. U.S. Army Sgt. Major Tim Strong. They discuss a coming "civil war" led by American "Bubba" militias -- Beck says he "believes we're on this road" -- and they contemplate whether the U.S. military would follow the President's orders to subdue civil unrest or would instead join with "the people" in defense of their Constitutional rights against the Government (they agree that the U.S. military would be with "the people")Fortunately, Glenn Beck is the epitome of anti-accurate. Even Bill Kristol can tell you the correct time three times out of five. Okay, two. But ask Beck what time it is and he's liable to say "anal cysts! Guadalcanal! the glebe cow!"
Which is why I'm not sweating all this huff and puff, and am instead treating it with utter contempt and disdain. The military isn't going to defect en masse to overthrow a President a sizable number of them voted for, and the kinds of guys who make up your average militia are more likely to shoot themselves in the feet than take over a town.
And if they wait a couple of years to try, then maybe they can get their wounds treated under a universal health care system.
So a couple of guys on the two edges of the marriage debate in the US have gotten together and hammered out a compromise on same-sex marriage and published it on today's NY Times Op-Ed page. Hurrah! We can all go home now--it's been solved.
Except that their compromise seems to neglect one really important fact--GLBT folks are being still treated as second class citizens, and I'm talking about beyond the whole "it won't actually be marriage" bit.
It would work like this: Congress would bestow the status of federal civil unions on same-sex marriages and civil unions granted at the state level, thereby conferring upon them most or all of the federal benefits and rights of marriage. But there would be a condition: Washington would recognize only those unions licensed in states with robust religious-conscience exceptions, which provide that religious organizations need not recognize same-sex unions against their will. The federal government would also enact religious-conscience protections of its own. All of these changes would be enacted in the same bill....Before I pick this apart, let me be clear--I think that anything less than full marriage rights is unacceptable. I understand that civil unions might be the reality, and might serve as a stepping stone for a while, but I won't stop agitating until same-sex couples have all the same rights that hetero couples have.
Further sharpening the conflict is the potential interaction of same-sex marriage with antidiscrimination laws. The First Amendment may make it unlikely that a church, say, would ever be coerced by law into performing same-sex wedding rites in its sanctuary. But religious organizations are also involved in many activities outside the sanctuary. What if a church auxiliary or charity is told it must grant spousal benefits to a secretary who marries her same-sex partner or else face legal penalties for discrimination based on sexual orientation or marital status? What if a faith-based nonprofit is told it will lose its tax-exempt status if it refuses to allow a same-sex wedding on its property?
Now, it won't come as a surprise to anyone that I think if we have a conflict between the individual human rights of LGBT citizens and the teachings of religious groups as regards those rights, I'm on the side of the LGBT folks. What it really comes down to is that I respect individual rights over the rights of groups to discriminate against individuals, and that's really how I see it. That example where a church auxiliary or charity that preaches gay-hatred and yet could be forced to recognize a same-sex union for an employee? Don't feel the slightest bit sorry for them. I'd feel the same way if it were a church that condemned cross-racial marriages and wanted to deny a spouse benefits on those grounds. Discrimination is discrimination, and if you want to do it, maybe you need to get someone to do that job on a volunteer basis instead of hiring a person. Or, you know, maybe you could stop being a bunch of hateful douchehounds.
As to the second, about losing tax-exempt status for refusing to marry a same-sex couple, I really don't see it being an issue, but if it is, then perhaps we need to reassess just what church property is being exempted from taxation. If a church owns a hall that it's willing to rent out to people outside the church, for non-church-sponsored activity, then that's not solely a church building anymore. That's commercial property, and the church ought to pay the going tax rate on it. If they want to limit it to only church-sponsored events or rent to church members, and if they want to keep LGBT folks out of their church (and continue to act like hateful douchehounds), they're welcome to do so. But for me, that's the choice.
The problem is that too many churches on the right want to discriminate but also want to get the seal of approval from the federal government, and for too long, the government has been willing to oblige. That's changing, and more quickly than the right-wing half of the above writing team wants to acknowledge.
It's no surprise to me that the less-insane right is looking for compromises on this issue, because they can see the demographic changes--they know this is a loser. It's only the real psychos who think they're going to be able to put gays in jail again soon. So what the less-insane right is trying to do is build a firewall somewhere that will allow them to hold onto the magical word "marriage" for the heteros and keep their license to discriminate in the law, figuring that if the gays get something not quite as good as marriage, lots of their straight allies will back off the issue. And the sad thing is that they're probably right, which is why I'm still pushing for full and complete marriage rights. Because any compromise that leaves LGBT couples without the same rights I have is a loss.
Last night, we spent the evening helping a friend of ours celebrate the finalization of her divorce, and we have the subsequent headaches to prove it. While we were at this fine unnamed establishment, the announcer on the radio mentioned that at some live event this coming Tuesday, they would be celebrating both Fat Tuesday and Mardi Gras, which I found quite amusing, to say the least.
Of the various religious holidays on offer during the year, Mardi Gras is the only one I really have an affinity for, mostly because I wholeheartedly approve of the attitude behind it. For those who don't know, the idea behind Mardi Gras is that it's the last day of debauchery before you have to straighten up and be good for the 40 days of Lent. Of course, for a debauched atheist like me, Lent is just the next 40 days on the calendar, so I'm just into Mardi Gras because it's a bigger party than usual.
But there's something heartening about the fact that, at least at some point in the Church's history, the powers-that-were recognized that it was, well, unnatural to deny oneself the pleasures of life, and that if one were to do that for forty days, well, then one should spend at least the first seven in recovery from the bodacious party you had going into it. If repentance will take 40 days, might as well have a whole lot to repent for, no?
There are two groups who have ruined a lot of what I love about Mardi Gras in recent years, and since I won't be anywhere near New Orleans for it this year, I'm going to vent a little about them. The first is the Girls Gone Wild crowd and everyone like them. Believe it or not, Mardi Gras wasn't always a get-your-grope-on fratboy festival. Yeah, there was nudity, and yeah, there was a chance that you might get to see some public sex acts when you hit an alley or two, but it was nothing like what is has become. It was basically a chance for a lot of repressed people--generally because they were putting on a show for the folks back home--to get out and get a little dirty for once. And the GGW crew (along with all their copycats) really changed the feel by removing the consequence-free atmosphere from the party. So those guys can go to hell.
But the other group is even worse--they're the people who want to make Mardi Gras a family-friendly occasion, who want to make it a child-safe environment. Sorry, but if you're one of these people, then you need to read that section on the purpose of Mardi Gras again, and then find a babysitter for your little rugrats, because kids have already gotten their dirty little fingers on every other damned holiday, and there's no way they're ruining this one for me. Mardi Gras is supposed to be about public drunkenness, and nudity (for all sexes), and licentiousness. It's about doing stuff that makes you feel like you ought to repent for forty days, dammit, and you can't do that sort of stuff around kids.
Mardi Gras is next week, and while I may be in Florida, I'm going to be doing my best to make sure that the New Orleans spirit is alive and well down here. If you have kids, best lock them in their rooms, because it's liable to get a little ugly. Laissez les bon temps roulez, y'all.

So there are no CEOs in President Obama's cabinet. Given the near non-stop instances of criminal behavior and bad decision making to come out of the CEO corps for the last twenty years or so, whether it involved ridiculous overspending, insensible business plans, bubble inflation or outright fraud, I tend to think that leaving CEOs out of the Cabinet might just be a good thing. But there's one piece in this article I want to address in particular.
Still, some long-time White House observers find it noteworthy that when Obama convenes his best minds, there will be few people who have answered to shareholders as well as voters — people who know by intuition how the business community is likely to react to any given day’s news.Here's the big lie--that CEOs are answerable to their shareholders. They're not, not in any real sense anyway. CEOs are answerable to their Boards, but the number of CEOs who have walked away from their companies with huge compensation packages after having run said companies into the ground are proof enough that they're not beholden to the shareholders, because shareholders would have strung some of these people up by their nads well before they were eventually shown the door.
And really, how unique (and how valuable) is the ability to suss out how the business community is going to react to the day's news? Again, part of the reason we're in our current economic fix is because we've focused on the short term instead of the long term.
Now it's true that all CEOs are not the same, and that some, perhaps many, have had the long term interests of their companies in mind, and those folks, I would say, would be perfect for the Obama administration, should he choose to tap that source of talent. But there's nothing inherently notable about being a CEO that should make him or her a good Cabinet member, so if President Obama doesn't have one in his Cabinet, I don't see why that's a big deal.
Seriously. Maybe this has been going on in publishing for a while now and I've just missed it, but this is cool. It's a chapbook of poetry by Matthew Hittinger, a poet who currently lives in New York, and who I was on a panel with at AWP some years ago in Austin.
Here's the thing--and you really have to click on the link to get a feel for this, because I can't find a way to embed it here without breaking the page and my description is going to be crappy--it gives everything but the tactile sensation of a book, complete with layout and animated page turning, and you also get the poet reading (in this case) his work for you. And the aural experience of poetry is a big deal for me--word sound and enunciation and pauses can really make a poem come alive in a way that simply seeing it on the page might lack. (Mind you, there are some readers who make you long for the printed version--there's a lot of performance involved in reading poetry.) And Matthew, at least in what I've listened to thus far, does a solid job of reading his work.
The poems are pretty good too. Check it out. Oh, and if you like the book and want that tactile experience, you can buy it too.
There's a piece up at the top of The Rumpus that part of a new series that Stephen Elliott is working on. He calls them "oral histories," and the piece up right now is from a porn performer who goes by the name Lorelei Lee. It's a fascinating piece, and a fairly no-holds barred look at the porn industry from the perspective of a performer. Here's a taste:
The first sex work I ever did I was 19. It was mostly photos of me stripping and fake masturbating. Then I made this recording pretending that I was talking about about the first time that I gave a blow job or something. The guy who did that shoot now owns Naughty America. It’s a huge porn company and they have like twelve websites. I was 19 and he was 18 and just starting. Now he has a million dollars and I don’t.Go read it all.
Then I moved to San Francisco. I worked in a coffee shop for two years, quit, and started posing naked for anyone who would hire me.
Timothy Egan notes in the NY Times that yesterday was Wallace Stegner's 100th birthday. I must confess that I learned more about Stegner in that column than I did in the two years I held a fellowship he helped found and which carried his name, so let me make up for it by thanking his memory here.
I owe a tremendous debt to Wallace Stegner and his fellowship. Without it, I'd probably never have lived in San Francisco, and it's doubtful I'd have the job I currently hold. I never would have met the people I met out there, which means my life would be much less rich than it is. And I'm not just talking about the writers--I'd probably never have worked at Anchor Brewing, met Fritz Maytag and Chris Solomon, and all the rest. I'd never have discovered the beauty in Old Potrero rye whiskey, or seen the sun come up over the Bay, walked the Golden Gate Bridge in both sun and fog, seen Barry Bonds hit his 700th home run, watched antique smut at the Red Vic theater in the Haight. I'd never have played in a real band, even if I was only the backup rhythm guitarist.
But then there were the writers--teachers like W. S. DiPiero and Ken Fields and Eavan Boland. I met Thom Gunn not long before he died, and saw why people like to see Billy Collins read, even if they aren't wild about his poetry. And my peers--poets with whom I'm still in contact both personally and through their work, people I respect and admire and care for on a personal level.
I'd never have been on C-SPAN's BookTV, and by extension, wouldn't now be poetry editor of The Rumpus, since Stephen Elliott is responsible for both those things, and I met him through the Stegner Fellowship.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that I owe a huge chunk of my present life to Wallace Stegner, and I've been remiss in not reading his work. I'm going to rectify that, starting today. Happy Birthday, Mr. Stegner.
Please please please continue showing us how irrelevant you are to the daily life of even those people who claim to follow your teachings.
Pope Benedict, underscoring the Vatican's ruling on an issue that divides Americans, told U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Wednesday that Catholic politicians and legislators cannot back abortion rights.See, Pope--I can call you Pope, right?--you can talk all you want about how the Church frowns on contraception and abortion, but in the end, the Catholic Church doesn't really determine policy stances. I mean, you can have an effect if a politician is beholden enough to the limited number of conservative Catholics who actually listen to those prohibitions, and I suppose you can try to wave your magic excommunication stick at politicians who ignore your grand pronouncements (though that power's been blunted by your decision to readmit a Holocaust denier into the church), but chances are that if there are politicians who are threatened by that, they're not Democrats anyway.
"His Holiness took the opportunity to speak of the requirements of the natural and moral law and the Church's consistent teaching on the dignity of human life from conception to natural death ..." a Vatican statement said.
Don't get me wrong--there are lots of Catholic Democrats, but they're not the dominant force in the party, and elected Democrats who happen to be Catholic have bigger constituencies to worry about than the small number of ultra-conservative Catholics who are actually concerned about this sort of thing. Pelosi has way more pro-choice supporters than she has anti-choice Catholics who might desert her for a challenger.
So go ahead and wave your Pope stick around and try to boss our politicians around. When you fail, it'll make you look even smaller by comparison.
I welcome news stories that call attention to the uninsured and underinsured, because a smart country can't continue with the most expensive and ineffective health care "system" in the world.
Alanna Boyd, a 28-year-old receptionist, recalled [...] the $17,398 — including $13 for the use of a television — that she was charged after spending 46 hours in October at Beth Israel Medical Center in Manhattan with diverticulitis, a digestive illness. “I could have gone to a major university for a year. Instead, I went to the hospital for two days.”That seems a bit excessive, no?
That Michelle Malkin is a right-wing psycho is not a secret, but she tries to maintain a veneer of respectability, and a few allies on the right side of the corporate media help her to maintain that illusion. So it's with some amusement that I see she's defending herself after taking a picture with a guy holding a sign that links President Obama to Adolf Hitler by basically saying left-wing nutballs did it to Bush.
Let me clue you in on something, Ms. Malkin--those people who compared Bush to Hitler? They were the nutballs. They weren't the mainstream of liberal thinking over the last 8 years. They were the people that the activist community--the nutroots, as you refer to them--were constantly telling to shut up because they weren't helping. I mean, the example that most right-wingers like to cite in this argument are the two commercials that morphed Bush into Hitler that were entered into MoveOn's contest. Remember--MoveOn is supposed to be the embodiment of left-wing nutjobbery, and those commercials were voted down by the membership of the community. That's hardly an embracing of the comparison.
But you seem to be embracing, if not the comparison, at least the people who are making it.
That the Florida economy blows is no secret, and that our legislature has a hard-on for smacking around higher education is well known, but I'm going to as you to do something for me. The cuts that are expected to come down from Tallahassee are going to be monstrous, and this is on top of cuts from the last two years in a row. We're at the point where people will be losing their jobs next, because there's nowhere else to go. So I'm asking you to contact your state Senators and Representatives and ask them to find a way to avoid any further cuts. We're not even asking for more money here--we're just asking to hold onto what we have.
The UFF sent out a letter to its members today, and I'm reprinting the majority of it here. Feel free to pull from it for your emails or letters or phone calls to your state legislators--I'm sure the UFF won't mind.
I am writing to urge you to support higher education in Florida in the upcoming legislative session, specifically by working against further erosion of funding levels for the state’s universities. The arguments for this request are compelling. They are as follows:I appreciate any help you can give.
The fastest way out of a recession, leaving Florida with a stronger workforce than when the recession began, is to increase funding for higher education. When people are unemployed, they need access to higher education so they can upgrade their credentials and skills and emerge ready for a better job. Without education, workers emerge from a recession less able to contribute to the workforce, pay taxes, and support themselves without reliance on social programs.
If students seeking to enroll are denied access in a recession, they join the ranks of the unemployed – swelling joblessness. If students who are already enrolled cannot get the classes they need for graduation, they waste time and money as they seek their degrees.
The student-faculty ratio in Florida is now the worst in the nation for universities – we rank fiftieth. Public colleges have 50,000 new students this year with no additional full-time faculty to teach them. More cuts mean more faculty layoffs, fewer classes, and fewer qualified faculty to teach essential subjects.
The quality of higher education is already in jeopardy. The staffing necessary to run programs is on the brink of collapse after a brain drain that has lasted several years. The annual turnover rate in the universities is currently 14%. This means the range of courses students need to complete a degree, with faculty qualified and ready to teach specialized courses, is in peril.
For two decades funding for higher education has been shrinking as a portion of the state’s budget. The result is that programs are stretched to their limits. Since September 2007, Florida’s universities have suffered cuts of 11.4% ($425 million) and public colleges have been cut 12.8% ($153 million) in program and lottery funds. Further cuts will force layoffs of faculty and a collapse of many programs. In other words, students who are enrolled at a Florida university and have made financial sacrifices for an education will have to defer their aspirations.
We can fund higher education (with no more cuts) by closing tax loopholes and rescinding tax giveaways. New revenue comes from everyone paying a fair share of taxes which are then invested in Florida’s economy and in the future of students. If the 2009 Legislature cannot agree on how to pass this legislation, then it should pass a temporary sales tax increase until legislators can agree on tax reform.
My first year students have been struggling with a section from Kwame Appiah's Cosmopolitanism for the last couple of weeks, and I've been having trouble helping them translate it into matters they can grasp, but I think I might have found an inroad.
I'm assuming that most of you haven't read the book, but the section I'm teaching deals with cultural patrimony, and one part in particular talks about a culture's desire to control its cultural property, especially as it pertains to intellectual property law, can actually cause the culture to disappear and become less relevant to the wider cultural conversation. For instance, if an aboriginal culture was able to restrict the use of the music of their culture to only those people who would agree to use it in a particular way, that culture would likely find itself losing the very thing it was trying to protect. By trying to keep their culture "pure," they very well might kill it off, instead of introducing it to a new generation of people who might embrace it.
Now you'd think that a generation raised in the age of sampling would be able to grasp this notion of taking a work of art and transforming it into something else, but sadly, it hasn't quite taken hold. Maybe it's because the notion of using other peoples' art has become ubiquitous--maybe it's because they're just young and clueless, I don't know--but when they do get it on some small level, they tend to look at it as an unabashed good. That's probably my fault, as the examples I've come up with have been positive ones--the Shepard Fairey Obama poster got a little recognition, for example.
But I think I've found a good counter-example.
This is the video of the Bank of America/Washington Mutual meeting, and that's two utterly clueless bank employees singing the praises of the merger to the tune of U2's "One." I found it at The Rumpus a few days ago, and I didn't know what to do with it until I saw the first comment, which suggested that Bono should sue.
But he can't--this is an example of Fair Use, so far as I can tell. The same rules apply to this that apply to Weird Al Yankovic (though I'm far fonder of Weird Al than I am of these guys). If the Bank of America wanted to release this as a single--and their management might still be bad enough to consider it--then all they'd have to do is license the composition, and Bono couldn't do anything to stop it. The concept of Fair Use includes having people take our art and transform it in ways we (or our fans) might not like, but the tradeoff is that we get to take things we find weird or quirky or even banal and use them to create our own work. That's how art helps cultures which might otherwise disappear from public view gain an audience of appreciators. That's a deal I'll make every time.
There's also one on online dating, but the chocolate one is funnier, I think.
And it seems he's still subject to the same disease that has infected the party since the rise of the Grover Norquist wing--no matter the problem, the solution is always to cut taxes.
The Republican governor's goals for the spring lawmaking session include no fewer than four separate tax proposals that would go before voters on the 2010 ballot, when Crist himself would be seeking voters' favor as a candidate for reelection as governor or for the U.S. Senate.Bolding mine, because that's the important thing here (and I'm glad the Herald included it). We've already slashed public services to ridiculous levels here in Florida, we've cut property taxes twice since Crist took office, and the economy is still struggling, but Crist and his buddies in the legislature, never content to stop digging when in a hole, want to do more of the same. Why? Brilliant Republican logic, of course.
The total taxpayer savings -- or cost to all local governments and schools statewide -- could weigh in at roughly $600 million, according to preliminary staff estimates and prior analyses of similar proposals to help homeowners, and cap and limit local-government taxation.
Echoing other Republicans, Sen. Mike Fasano of New Port Richey said Florida would have been in worse shape without the tax cuts. He said people need more.Yes, the old "it would have been worse if we had done nothing" attitude. Funny how that only seems to count for their ideas, huh? If, for instance, the national economy is still struggling in 2010, I doubt that Republicans will accept that reasoning from Democrats. But I digress.
"People are hurting, and it's just unfair to increase their property taxes when their property values fall," said Fasano, a sponsor of the tax-cut measure.
The point is that when people are struggling, it's also a bad idea to cut funding from programs that help them out in hard times. It's also important to remember that the government of Florida is supposed to represent all of us, not just property owners. We all pay sales taxes; we all pay fees; we all pay tolls when we use the turnpike; and we all deserve the same quality of government. If Crist and the Republicans want to spread the pain a bit, I'm all for that--institute a small income tax. That's the most progressive tax in the book. Make it a trade-off--property owners get a little relief and we all share the burden a bit more.
But that won't happen with this set of Republicans, and with Charlie Crist, in charge, because they don't actually want government to work. Oh, Crist will hug the President and stretch his hands out for the billions in aid from the federal coffers, because he'd like to argue that he was able to cut taxes as well as keep services going, but he's no different from the rest of them, except on the optics. Scratch Charlie Crist and you get Grover Norquist, and we can't afford that kind of governor.
- A human woman gave birth to 8 babies.
- All 8 were born normal and healthy.
- People were very upset at the fertility clinic that made this happen.
- People learned that woman already had 6 children, and so now has 14, and that she is a single mom who has created her whole brood from donated sperm -- people grew even more upset.
- People began to muse about whether she were white or non-white, and theorized that she would be hailed if white and condemned if non-white.
- People discovered she was white; theory proved incorrect.
- NBC finds a plastic surgeon willing to say that the mom-of-14 has had plastic surgery to better-resemble Angelina Jolie, who only has 6 kids (overshot the mark?)
- The woman with (now) 14 kids hired a publicist and began soliciting donations online.
- The publicist began receiving death threats, and both she and the mom-of-14 went into hiding.
- The publicist quit.
Now this is theater. What will happen next? I'm at the edge of my seat over here. Anything could happen. And this is only the first chapter. There are 14 more characters we've yet to get-to-know!
Just kidding, of course. Seriously, can people lay off this woman? I'm pretty sure I wouldn't want to be her shopping buddy either, but death threats? All she did was make some dumb choices and have too many kids -- it happens all the time, and that usually doesn't inspire people to make death threats.
...they contacted the Los Angeles Police Department, and officers told them that the threats were the worst they had seen since the O.J. Simpson case, Killeen said.They have lashed out. But why? Well, I didn't get the OJ thing, and I don't get this either. But it's pretty baffling. The story itself is high drama. What I don't understand is why this woman is a target for hate instead of amusement or pity.
"The American public have just lashed out," she said.
The Miami City Commission can keep holding off on making a decision about the Marlins' stadium for the next five years as far as I'm concerned.
The Miami-Dade County Commission was on deck to consider the proposal but never met. The Marlins had hoped for final approval of plans calling for a stadium projected to open in 2012 that would cost $515 million, with the public paying $361 million.I'm an unabashed baseball fan, and since I've lived in south Florida, I've become a casual fan of the Marlins, but even if I were hardcore, I'd still oppose what's put in the bold above.
It's simple, really. Public financing of sports arenas is a sucker's bet, because the public never gets out of it what they've put in. I mean, if the city were going to get the lion's share of revenue from the stadium, after footing the bill for more than half the cost of construction (not to mention the increased burden on local infrastructure), and the Marlins were in essence renting the stadium, then maybe I'd be less opposed. But this deal is just like every other deal in Major League cities with publicly financed stadiums. The city or state puts up the money, the team owns, for all practical purposes, the stadium, and the city gets back, ummm, some vague promise of revenues based on job creation numbers that never seem to pan out as good as the team claimed they would. No thanks.
Look, people who own major league baseball teams aren't stupid. They know that, while they can make tons of money by financing their own stadiums--just ask Peter Magowan how his pocketbook looked for the first few years after opening his stadium in downtown San Francisco, without any taxpayer funding--they can make even more if they don't have to come out of pocket with the cash. It's Bush-economics all over again--socialize the costs, privatize the profits.
I have no problem with capitalism as an economic theory, or even in practice, so long as it's regulated to protect the rights of individuals and workers. But this isn't capitalism, because capitalism involves risk, and the team owners aren't taking any risks when they get a city to sign off on a deal like this. Their profits are guaranteed--they've gotten the public to add value to their product without having to take any chances whatsoever (because if they try to sell the team later, the stadium is included in the valuation). It's corporate welfare, plain and simple. And while I don't mind giving money to people who might otherwise starve without it, I have a problem giving it to corporations who are only looking to further enrich themselves at public expense.
The official awards page is up for the Dorothy Sargent Rosenberg prizes, and I'm on the list. It's a poem that grew out of my visit to see my daughter graduate from high school last year, so that makes it feel a little more special.
Congrats to everyone who won, particularly to my personal friends Alison Pelegrin and Robin Ekiss.
The only downside of this contest, as far as I'm concerned, is that I can't enter it anymore. I snuck in under the age restriction this past year--by one day--and so am now officially too old to be considered for this prize. Same goes for the Yale Series of Younger Poets. Ah, that's when you know you've officially hit middle age--when contests won't take your entry fees anymore.
What is America without immigrants? I'm picturing India's biggest global competitor, an upstart economy with an impressive system of buffalo slaughtering and processing plants supplying Cherokee-speaking schools with low-cost lunchmeat. Or something.
In other words, not European. A nation of immigrants has a moral duty to welcome other immigrants, does it not? Or at least not discriminate against them. But you can't have half the world show up in one country looking for a job and expect things to go well, either.
As this editorial points out, illegal immigration is the magic ticket of unscrupulous businesses -- it keeps labor costs low and laborers subservient. It's hard to blame an individual for doing everything he can to better his situation, and better his family's situation, by finding better-paying work wherever he can find it. But this isn't always about individuals -- it's also about economies and systems and how one group coming in to work for low pay with no rights reduces the ability of all people to get good pay and have their rights respected.
We don't want to persecute people who are working hard and doing what is, in the big picture, the most moral thing, even if it is illegal. But we can't let them come.
The solution, of course, is simple: persecute businesses that hire them. Businesses caught hiring illegally should be fined out of existence and replaced by businesses that hire Americans and legal residents. If there are no jobs waiting for illegal immigrants, they'll stop coming.
The issue gets clouded because there are a lot of people who are biased against poor, different-looking, different-speaking people. It's a barrier we went through once before, with slavery: lots of people knew that slavery was wrong and that the slaves themselves were not to blame, but, durn it, they just didn't like black people. So that "complicated" their vision: they saw scary hoards that needed to be controlled instead of a system that needed to be changed.
We have a similar problem now: people allow their "fear" of immigrants to cloud their vision: instead of seeing a system that needs fixing, they see a great moral dilemma about where people "belong," and what's "ours" and "theirs," and people "taking over," and "stealing jobs," and so on.
But if businesses are policed and punished severely for trying to benefit from the modern equivalent of slave labor, they will stop hiring illegals. And if men and women looking for a better life see no opportunities in North America, they won't take on the danger, expense, and inconvenience of coming here. And if you offer American teenagers summer work picking tomatoes for minimum wage, they will pick tomatoes. And if you pay Americans to work in slaughterhouses, those slaughterhouses will become safer and more humane, because workers who have rights will not put up with less.
Now: what would happen if we redirected the money being pissed away on useless border fences and inevitably inadequate border guards and used it to hire job police: police who investigate businesses suspected of hiring illegal immigrants? We'd have to refine the law: who's responsible when a meat processing plant is peopled by Central American Indians? The guy who did the hiring? The owner? Both? We have to figure that out. But so long as the penalties are heavy and swift, we can fix this problem.
America needs jobs. We're hearing it every day. I say the jobs are right here. We just can't get all confused and start persecuting poor people who are just trying to do the best they can for themselves and their families -- we have to prosecute greedy business owners trying to inflate their bottom lines with something close to 21st Century slavery.
I stopped doing the random tens a few weeks ago and haven't really missed it, to be honest, but I do like having some sort of weekly tradition, so I'm going to try this for now and see how it goes. This week's offering is what happens when you combine Doctor Who, Eminem, and "Yakety Sax." Yeah, it scores pretty high on the weird-shit-o-meter.
Still waiting for someone to do a video of the Thundercats doing a version of Monty Python's "Lumberjack Song." You know--"I'm a Thundercat, and I'm okay." Somebody run with that.
It's the 200th anniversary of Charles Darwin's birth today, so I suspect there will be more talk than usual about him. I'm adding in my two cents insomuch as I'm linking to this nice piece by Olivia Judson on Darwin and how much he meant to the study of biology in particular.
And also, I wanted to link this bit--a blast from the past, you might say.
My review of Dan Albergotti's The Boatloads just went up at The Rumpus. Here's a taste:
I have a special place in my heart for literature that juxtaposes the sacred and profane, that challenges perhaps the most successful meme ever to spring from the human brain: the belief that God is unwaveringly good.More here.
That’s the matter at the heart of Dan Albergotti’s first collection of poems, The Boatloads, winner of the 2007 A. Poulin Jr. Poetry Prize. The one constant in The Boatloads is doubt—doubt about God’s benevolence, about His existence, about the speaker’s worthiness of the blessings he has received—and in a world where certainty is fleeting, doubt plays an increasingly pivotal role.
Via Culture Industry, the Facebook meme that I've been successfully resisting: 25 random things about yourself. Only this one is Shakespeare, and fairly well done. A sample:
11 When I am happy I call Anne my Kicky-wicky. When I am cross I call her “Olde Fun Killer Hag-Ass.”I love having the internet again.
12 I keepe my Stashe hidden in our seconde best bedde. Shhh. Don’t tell the Fyve-Oh.
13 The people that loue my Wordes the best are always the most disappointed vpon meeting me. Is thisse List ouer yet?
14 On the topic of dating, my daughter Susanna loues to remind me: ~Jvliet was only thirteen! And I remind her that i) she was Italian, an impulsive race ii), she was actually played by a middle-aged Eunuch named Ned, and iii) she died. That always shvts her right vp.
No, I'm not talking about my ongoing travails with AT&T, though I'm certainly feeling it at this point. I'm talking about this piece, which has received a fair amount of mockery around the toobz. And I have to admit I was tempted--a poem which talks about being addicted to masturbation, which has the deliciously horrible lines "Like a crack addict / addicted to crack, / I am addicted to myself," is low-hanging fruit, and that's the ballpark I tend to play in.
But I couldn't bring myself to do it, because twenty-two years ago, I could have written that poem. And I'd probably have written it just as badly.
I can't mock this poem or the poet because I get too angry at the closed-minded and anti-sex attitudes that put this guy in the position where he's feeling this tormented by a normal and natural act. I get angry because I remember feeling the same sentiment this poet describes.
Saying what I need to say to maintain my front.That was me--putting on the show and feeling miserable for it. Remembering that feeling was a big part of the reason why, once I was officially kicked out of the church, I didn't try to put on a front to become a member again so as to avoid the shunning my family was expected to do. I wasn't going to pretend anymore. I wasn't going to lie about who I was or what I believed or the life I was living. I refused.
"Aw, you're such a good brother."

Add on to my guilt.
Soon as I get to church I am well greeted.
So I get mad at churches who tell kids that they're sinning when they masturbate, or when they experiment sexually. I get mad when churches act like being gay is a choice, and is something you can decide not to be anymore. I get mad at churches when they convince people that they are lower than worms because they're acting on completely normal, reasonable desires, because they're doing incredible harm to those peoples' self-esteem and sense of well-being. And if this matters to you--it doesn't to me--when it comes to masturbation, they're basing it on the flimsiest of Scriptural injunctions.
But in the meantime, they're causing real harm to the psyches of the people they're hammering with this message. The guilt these people feel may be based on something silly, but it's real guilt all the same, and there's real heartache being suffered as a result. And for no good reason.
Can't think of a better way to make my return to the intertubes than with this story.
FEBRUARY 5--A Florida man was arrested yesterday after he was spotted fondling and making out with a pair of blow-up dolls in a supermarket parking lot. Shoppers called cops when they spotted George Bartusek, 51, getting busy in the front seat of his 1998 Lincoln Town Car, which was parked directly in front of a Publix store.I guess he figured he was never going to have a million dollars. I'd embed that clip, but I can't.
Oh, and AT&T still sucks.
I'm posting this from Amy's iPhone because AT&T shut off our DSL by mistake on Friday but can't restore it--they claim--before Tuesday. Accordingto their tech people, it's real easy to shut someone off, but not to reconnect them, especially on a weekend. Sounds like either poor system design or the arrogance of a company which knows it has little in the way of competition to worry about. Convenient for them--not so much for us. But hey, we're just customers. No need to make us happy, right?
The ACLU of Florida has teamed up with Fair Districts Florida to try to reduce gerrymandering on both the state and federal level. There are two petitions available for download and signing. I'm signing both and I encourage everyone to do the same.
A couple of things--this is for Florida registered voters only, so don't fill them out if you don't qualify. Secondly, it's not enough just for individuals to sign. We have to get others to sign. Ask your friends and family and get them to sign both. If you can, do some canvassing, and if you have a blog or are a regular commenter elsewhere, spread the word. Link the pdf. Get people to sign.
Look, Florida voted pretty solidly for Obama last November, but we made almost no gains in either the Florida legislature or in the Congressional delegation, and that's due, in part, to gerrymandering. And frankly, there are times when the Congresspeople we have representing us aren't really concerned about the desires of their constituents, because they're in safe seats. If we make them work for it a little, they might listen to us a bit more.
There's really no downside, as far as I'm concerned. And this is the time to do it--the census is in 2010, and that's when redistricting generally occurs. Let's make the state make it fair.
I try not to indulge too often, this is just too good.
The News Corporation, the media empire controlled by Mr. Murdoch, said Thursday that it lost $6.4 billion in its second quarter as profit fell sharply at its television and movie units. The company also took a large write-down of $8.4 billion, about $3 billion of which reflected a decline in the value of the company’s newspaper unit, which includes Dow Jones, the publisher of The Wall Street Journal. Many media analysts believed that News Corp. overpaid when it bought Dow Jones just over a year ago for about $5 billion, and the write-down indicates that it lost significant value.Poor Rupert. Must be tough. Your conservative ideals have taken a beating in the marketplace of public opinion, and your companies are feeling the pain as well. So sad.

“I don’t believe there’s two sides to every story. It’s black and white,” Wurzelbacher explained. “There’s right and wrong.”Which is, of course, two sides, even for Republicans.
Joe's right, in a roundabout sort of way. I don't believe there are two sides to every story either. Usually there are way more than two--the world's a complex place, no matter what idiots like Joe-the-not-quite-sentient like to believe. And when it comes to solving problems, often there are multiple ways to get there, all of them more or less "right."
Of course, what Joe means is that there's his way and then everything else that might contradict him, which is, in his view, the wrong way. Must be something to live in such ignorant bliss, never questioning your worldview, never seeing any situation as so complex that it might take more than a gut feeling to find your way through. At least when Stephen Colbert does it, it's an act. Joe apparently lives his life that way, and that's sad. I'd pity him if he weren't such a jerk about it.

Sheriff Leon Lott must not be swamped with cases, and must not be feeling the effects of the economic downturn, worrying about cuts to his department or anything like that, because he's got his eyes set on far more important issues.
"The bottom line is, if he broke the law, and he did it in Richland County, he's going to be charged," [police spokesperson] Cowan said. "And there's no difference between Michael Phelps and several other people that we arrest for the same type of a charge everyday."Except, of course, that Phelps is crazy-famous and such an arrest would get you all sorts of publicity that you would never get otherwise, and given that your department is run by a guy who rose to his current position by playing either Sonny Crockett or Rico Tubbs--the long hair makes me assume the former--that's probably all the reason you need. I suspect Sheriff Lott is pulling his linen jacket out of the closet even as we speak, to see if the sleeves will still bunch up around his elbows just so. It's probably still too cold for him to pull off the loafers-sans-socks look in Richland County, but by the time the trial rolls around, buddy, look out!
As for Phelps, what this really proves--yet again--is that smoking pot won't ruin your life. It won't stop you from being a world-class athlete, if that's what you're out to do. (Your genetic makeup is going to weigh far heavier on that.) And it won't turn you into someone who lives in his or her parents' basement well into their thirties. Grad school (which occasionally correlates with pot smoking) is more likely to result in that. But neither Phelps nor the millions of others who occasionally smoke marijuana in this country have had their lives ruined by simply smoking it.
A number of them, however, have had their lives ruined by people like Sheriff Lott and this misbegotten war on some people who use drugs. And it's time to bring that to an end.
I'm actually starting to get offended by the rhetoric about how we need private-sector, not public-sector, jobs from whatever stimulus plan we hatch.
If you're trying for sarcasm, maybe you'd best not, because I don't think you've got the hang of it. I mean, you start off okay:
I’m afraid there are rich people all around the country who are about to suffer similar social self-immolation because they don’t understand that the rules of privileged society have undergone a radical transformation.That's a decent enough shot at the clueless rich. I mean, by your standards, anyway. I mean, based on what I expect from you given your past writing--not bad.
But what is this?
In the first place, many people in Ward Three suffer from Sublimated Liquidity Rage. As lawyers, TV producers and senior civil servants, they make decent salaries, but 60 percent of their disposable income goes to private school tuition and study abroad trips. They have little left over to spend on themselves, which generates deep and unacknowledged self-pity.Are you really trying to take the upper middle-class to task because they have the temerity to look at their rich neighbors and point out the excess? I'm trying to give you the benefit of the doubt here and look for the sarcasm directed at their own wastefulness, but all I'm getting out of it is "rich people, look out, because the almost-rich, who don't understand just how important you are, are on the warpath against you." I mean, if you're trying to drive a wedge between the haves and the have-mores, I'm all for it, since the haves are useful allies in any class war, and the poor and working classes have taken it in the junk or junk-equivalent for quite some time now. Soak the rich and all that.
Second, they suffer from what has been called Status-Income Disequilibrium. At work they are flattered and feared. But they still have to go home and clean out the gutters because they can’t afford full-time household help.
Third, they suffer the status rivalries endemic to the upper-middle class. As law school grads, they resent B-school grads. As Washingtonians, they resent New Yorkers. As policy wonks, they resent people with good bone structure.
In short, people in Ward Three disdain three things: cleavage, hunting and dumb people who are richer than they are. Rich people have to learn to adapt to the new power structure if they hope to survive.
But I suspect, Mr. Applebee's Salad bar, that you don't really want to do that. I think you're hoping that your sneering condescension at the group you probably most identify with is your way of telling your fellow upper-middle-classers to know their role, which is to act as a buffer between the dirty unwashed and the super-rich, in the hopes that those same wealthy people will cast a few extra crumbs down your way. And hey, it's worked for you so far. And in the meantime, you provide us bloggers with plenty of material. Good work.
A week ago, I wrote about the upcoming Fort Lauderdale mayor's race, and how a recommendation by current mayor Jim Naugle had caused me to remove at least one, and possibly two people from consideration for me. Well, the maybe on that list just clarified my position.
The four candidates for mayor were asked at a recent Rio Vista candidate-vetting meeting to give their stance on the issue. Jack Seiler told the crowd, which included Naugle, that he was surprised the question was asked, because they should be talking about the future, not the past. He said Naugle's comments "might have been" misstated or taken out of context. Then, in summary, he says, "I think a lot of this was taken out of context."I understand why Seiler is trying to give Naugle the benefit of the doubt, even though Naugle undercut him by shaking his head "no" when Seiler suggested he might want to have some of those comments back. But it doesn't matter to me, not when there are other, better candidates out there. Here's one--Dean Trantalis is the first guy in the video, and notice how he answered the question about divisions in the community.
You notice how he didn't just leave it at "straight versus gay"? He also pointed out how African-Americans often feel separated from the city government, and how that's a real problem for a city as diverse as this one is. He acknowledges that it's not enough to acknowledges the problems of only one minority group, but that everyone needs to have their needs considered and addressed. That's the kind of person I'm looking for as the next Mayor.
My condolences on your football team's loss tonight. Jesus really had it in for you, it seems. I don't know what Pennsylvania offered him in return for tonight's win, but it must have been killer for Jesus to screw with you like that. I mean, to have the refs practically gift the Steelers a field goal by calling two really questionable personal fouls in the third quarter, then let you back in the game and even take the lead on Fitzgerald's terrific run and catch, only to snatch it away at the end? You really must have pissed Him off something serious.
I suggest you find some way to make recompense. Perhaps you could slaughter a fatted calf or something.
Not even the Republican ones. They want their share of the economic stimulus package, whether Democrat or Republican. And who can blame them? The crappy economy has forced governors' hands; they can't deficit spend like the federal government can so when tax revenues decline, they either have to raise taxes or cut services. Those are the only tools at their disposal.
So what does that mean states are facing without federal bailout money? Cutting poor people off of Medicaid. Raising tuition while simultaneously cutting university budgets. Hiring freezes even in essential services like police and fire departments. Putting off road construction and other infrastructure maintenance. Closing parks and libraries and everything else deemed non-essential. You name it, it's on the table right now, unless the states get some federal help.
Charlie Crist isn't stupid--he knows that these cuts aren't going to be popular, even among his "no tax increases" base--so he spent last week working the phones with the Florida Republican delegation trying to get some support for the package. We all see how well that worked out. But he tried, in large part because he had to.
So why didn't the Republicans in the House listen to their governors? Some of it has to do, no doubt, with the fact that Congresspeople aren't as beholden to the members of their state as the governor is--they only represent a small district, and they're really only beholden to the activist faction in that district, since most House districts aren't all that competitive. They can be more partisan because their constituents expect them to be, and since most Congresspeople are more concerned with getting re-elected than with looking at the bigger picture, they're freer to play party politics than governors are. (This is a bipartisan phenomenon, by the way.)
None of the governors in the above article is a better explanation than Louisiana Republican (and darling of the hyper-conservative right) Governor Bobby Jindal.
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, a former member of the House, said he would accept the stimulus money but would have voted against the bill if he were still in Congress.Different priorities because of different jobs, see? South Carolina Governor Mark Sanford--like Jindal an early conservative favorite for the 2012 Presidential race--is talking tougher, probably with that race in mind. He sounds like a House member.
"It's incumbent on me as one of the nation's governors to speak out against what I believe is ultimately incredibly harmful to the economy, to taxpayers and to the worth of the U.S. dollar," Sanford said in an interview. "This plan is a huge mistake and is going to prolong and deepen this recession."Like the House Republicans, he's going all-in with the "hope he fails" attitude. If the economy doesn't turn around, he's positioned himself as the guy who took the brave stand early in the crisis, and he can point to the others in the race as those who weren't true believers.
Of course, the people who will suffer in the meantime will be poor South Carolinians, but hey, Sanford is term-limited out anyway. He doesn't have to worry so much about them anymore. Fortunately for us, the likelihood that the economy won't improve at least some in the next 2-3 years is very slim, and Sanford will be left with the "it would have improved more if government hasn't interfered" argument, which is hard to fit on a bumper sticker. |
Moe anthropomorphism (Japanese: 萌え擬人化, Hepburn: moe gijinka) is a form of anthropomorphism in anime and manga where moe qualities are given to non-human beings (such as animals, plants, supernatural entities and fantastical creatures), objects, concepts, or phenomena. In addition to moe features, moe anthropomorphs are also characterized by their accessories, which serve to emphasize their original forms before anthropomorphosis. The characters here, usually in a kind of cosplay, are drawn to represent an inanimate object or popular consumer product. Part of the humor of this personification comes from the personality ascribed to the character (often satirical) and the sheer arbitrariness of characterizing a variety of machines, objects, and even physical places as cute.
This form of anthropomorphism is very common in otaku subcultures. With the exception of kemonomimi (which are human-like characters that have animal features), many moe anthropomorphizations started as dōjin efforts. An early form of moe anthropomorphism is the Gundam MS Girl created by Mika Akitaka in 1982. Many anthropomorphizations were the results of discussions on Japanese Internet forums such as 2channel or Futaba Channel. The trend spread out of dōjin circles as commercial anime and manga also prominently feature characters who are personifications of inanimate objects.
The media studies scholar Yuji Sone has argued that since moe anthropomorphism is usually personified by beautiful young girls, it is an example of the outgrowth of otaku subcultural habitus into sexual fantasies. The psychologist Tamaki Saitō regards moe anthropomorphism as an example of mitate-e art due to its simultaneous use of both high and low art to provide additional, sometimes humorous, meanings. Saitō also connects this anthropomorphism with a "desire for transformation" associated with the shōjo (girl) form.
Kemonomimi (獣耳), literally meaning "animal ears", is the concept of depicting human and human-like characters with animal ears, and by extension, other features such as tails. Kemonomimi is often used in moe anthropomorphism, to depict animal characters in human form. Catgirls and catboys are the most prolific and common in this category, although bunnygirls, foxgirls, doggirls, and wolfgirls are also common. Kemonomimi characters typically appear human except for added animal-like qualities. In Hiroki Azuma's theory of otaku database consumption, animal ears are one type of "moe element," which is combined with other elements in a character in order to create an affective response in fans. A notable franchise featuring moe anthropomorphism and kemonomimi is Kemono Friends, which is focused on a myriad of anthropomorphized animals in the form of girls and young women, ranging from real animals to cryptids and legendary creatures. Another notable series is Uma Musume Pretty Derby which focuses on girls as famous Japanese racehorses. Mimiketto is a doujinshi convention dedicated to kemonomimi works.
Mythological and fantasy creatures
When moe appearances are given to various creatures from folklore, mythology or fantasy, they are usually called monster girls (or sometimes boys). Their bestial traits may be fully retained, de-emphasized into mere personality tics or removed altogether. An early example of this is with the independent video game/doujin soft series Touhou Project beginning in 1997 which depicts yōkai and other mythical beings as beautiful girls and women who summon spell cards to unleash a barrage of abstract projectile patterns called "danmaku". It was further popularized by such manga as Monster Musume and A Centaur's Life, and has grown into its own genre. Rarely, the monster girls are relatively unchanged from their original form and personality, such as mermaids and centaurides.
The fan-created Bowsette, a gender-swapped and moe anthropomorphized version of the Mario antagonist Bowser that gives him the appearance of Princess Peach via the "Super Crown" powerup, became one of the most popular Internet memes of 2018. The popularity of the character later led to other Mario enemies being given moe interpretations, the most prominent of which was Boosette (based on the King Boo character).
Although Chobits (2001) and Toy's iMac Girl (1998) came first, the meme of turning computer-related phenomena into moe subjects did not start until Shiitake-chan (しいたけちゃん), the anthropomorphization of Internet Explorer's Stop button. The idea of Shiitake-chan came in 2001 on 2channel, starting with a poster who claims he saw the Stop button as a shiitake. When Microsoft released Windows 7 in Japan, they included a theme pack centered around a personification of the OS named "Nanami Madobe" with voice samples from Nana Mizuki. Microsoft used another personification involving two girls named "Yū Madobe" and "Ai Madobe" to promote Windows 8 in Japan. As part of the market launch, a Facebook draw of 8 followers took place when follower count reaches 80001; and total Twitter follower count for Yū and Ai reach 8001, where winners receive Madobe Yū and Ai-themed prizes.
Since the creation of the OS-tans, other software and websites have been anthropomorphized as well. For example, Wikipedia has its own "Wikipe-tan", while Mozilla applications have their own set of "Moezilla". Chinese netizens have created a "Green Dam Girl" to parody China's content-control software Green Dam Youth Escort. In 2010, Taiwanese illustrator known as "shinia" on Pixiv created a personification of Microsoft Silverlight named Hikaru Aizawa, who is officially promoted by Microsoft Taiwan. In 2013, Microsoft Singapore introduced Inori Aizawa, a mascot for Internet Explorer.
The manga and anime series World War Blue features characters who are personifications of computer games. Video games with characters based on them include Sonic the Hedgehog, Super Mario and Tetris. Sega Hard Girls features personifications of video game hardware by Sega.
Law and politics
In 2010, users from the Breaking News board on 2channel created Hinomoto Oniko as an anthropomorphism of the commonly used Chinese ethnic slur used against Japanese, Riben guizi (日本鬼子), literally meaning "Japanese devils". The character was made by the 2channel community in response to the growing anti-Japanese sentiment amongst Chinese netizens online, and has since become an Internet meme within Japanese imageboards and forums. In Japanese, the kun'yomi reading of the kanji which make up the racial slur can be interpreted as a female personal name, and so the character is depicted as a young female wearing a traditional Japanese kimono, along with devil horns and a katana.
In 2015, Internet users created "ISIS-chan", a moe anthropomorphized character of the jihadist group Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). Images of her have been used by Anonymous to dilute the Islamic State's online propaganda.
Other things have also been given moe characteristics:
- The manga Cells at Work! depicts the cells of the human body as both male and female characters.
- Based on binchōtan and other types of charcoal, the anime and manga Binchō-tan uses the dajare in the Japanese word for coal (炭, tan) to create a series of cute girls.
- As with national personifications, moe versions of various countries are present. For example, Japan is Nihon-chan, Afghanistan is Afuganisu-tan—both have their own webcomics in Japan. Beyond these, however, are the countries of Hidekaz Himaruya's Hetalia: Axis Powers, a manga depicting the countries involved in World War I and World War II using mostly men with only a few women mixed in. Toshio Miyake argues that Hetalia's appeal lies in its combination of comedy and male personification of nations, with implicit homoerotic themes.
- During the 2014 Western African Ebola virus epidemic, a user of the website 4chan created an image depicting a moe version of Ebola. During the COVID-19 pandemic, a moe version of the Coronavirus disease 2019 named Corona-chan was created.
- Food and beverages
- Habanero-tan, the unofficial mascot of Bōkun Habanero; and Bisuke-tan for biscuits that KFC sells in Japan. The light novel series Akikan! has soda cans that magically turn into girls. Jelly flavors have also been anthropomorphized.
- Historic eras
- A series of Japanese history books features anthropomorphism of historic events.
- Home appliances
- Erotic computer games Like Life and Monogokoro, Monomusume both feature home appliances as girls. These appliances include washing machines, alarm clocks, blackboard erasers, pillows, first aid boxes, mobile phones, and even post boxes, among others. The very nature of such games, however, puts the main characters in unusual situations when the sex scene happens—such as essentially "having sex with the washing machine". Likewise, the manga 090 Eko to Issho features girls who are mobile phones.
- Military hardware
- Mecha Musume are anthropomorphic personifications of military hardware, such as guns, tanks, ships, aircraft or even missiles. Popular subjects of this kind of anthropomorphism include World War II military vehicles; collectible mecha musume figures of these vehicles have been released. Moe anthropomorphisms of historical military ships as girls and young women ("ship girls") are also notable, as popularized by Kantai Collection and Azur Lane.
- Notable trains who were drawn as girls include the Fastech 360, often drawn with cat ears because of the train's emergency air braking plates. Called "Fastech-tan", this particular "train girl" has its own collectible figure, sold with permission from the East Japan Railway Company. The bishōjo game Maitetsu and its anime version Rail Romanesque feature Railords, anthropomorphized train characters paired up with the real trains.

INTEGRAL WORLD: EXPLORING THEORIES OF EVERYTHING
An independent forum for a critical discussion of the integral philosophy of Ken Wilber
Publication dates of essays (month/year) can be found under "Essays".
Towards an Integral Analysis of the Iraq Crisis
The cognitive dimension of integral means, among other things, examining an issue from as many perspectives as possible (all quadrants/all levels, AQAL, in Wilber's terms) and then integrating these perspectives into a more or less coherent whole, so as to form a more integral (and aperspectival, as Gebser says) analysis and course of action.
Using the AQAL map as a guideline, we can examine the different perspectives on the Iraq conflict, as they relate to the quadrants and the levels of arguments (meaning-making). To simplify things a bit, I will divide the perspectives on Iraq into two large categories: pro-war and anti-war. Perhaps this is not the best way to go about this because it reinforces a dichotomization of perspectives. However, my hope is that at the end of the analysis, we will be able to dissolve the dichotomy.
While examining each perspective, I will try to also pay attention to the level and quadrant perspective of reasoning/meaning-making employed. Based on this analysis, I will then venture some recommendations that integrally informed advocates or policy makers could push for.
Perspectives on the War against Iraq
- Based on the premise that Hussein has and will use WMD (Weapons of Mass Destruction) for illegitimate reasons, Hussein is threat to:
Overall, the perspectives/arguments presented in #1a-c reflect a focus on the upper quadrants, in that they focus either on Hussein's behavior (UR - threatening behavior) or his intentions (UL psychopathic and power-hungry dictator). Only #1d (regional stability) brings in systemic (LR) issues.
- neighboring states While Hussein has attacked neighboring states and his own population, no neighboring country seems to be concerned about the danger that Iraq poses (not even Israel, since it has a very credible deterrent, in the form of its own fairly large arsenal of WMD). One could classify this reasoning as "green," assuming it is sincere, in that the motivation is to protect weaker or marginal parties in a potential conflict. One could also classify it as "orange," in so far as it rests on international law, which might require the international community to protect the rights of aggrieved nations. Finally, the argument could (but hardly is) be "blue," if we were talking about protecting a population that has a similar ethnic background (i.e., European) as the nation(s) interested in engaging in protective activity. One could perhaps say that the U.S.' interest in protecting Israel is of this order.
- his own population This threat seems very real, given the repression Hussein's regime practices. But the West's concern rings somewhat hollow if one considers that Hussein gassed the Kurds with the knowledge and tacit support of the West (which largely supplied the chemicals) and that his repressive practices against his own population did not become an issue until his invasion of Kuwait three years later (up until which point U.S.-Iraqi relations were quite chummy). But even immediately following the Gulf war, Hussein launched a serious campaign against his Shiite population, which the West could have prevented, but permitted. In any case, for many in the pro-war camp, this is no doubt a sincere argument for getting rid of Hussein and should thus be taken seriously. As for the type of reasoning, it could be considered "green" in that it represents the defense of a marginalized people. It has recently also been called "humanitarian intervention."
- the "West" (terror attacks on the U.S., for example) Often mentioned in this context is Hussein's supposed connection with Al Queda. However, as many analysts have pointed out, such a connection probably does not exist, mainly because Al Queda considers Hussein an enemy of Islam. Hussein might be interested in terrorist attacks of his own on western targets. While no actual terrorist attacks have yet to be linked to Hussein, it is not too far-fetched to believe that he would have the motivation to launch attacks against western countries, if he had the capability. One could thus say that the concern is one of self-defense, which is a right, according to international law. Attacking Iraq on this basis is being called "pre-emptive self-defense," which has a basis in international law. However, "pre-emptive self-defense" applies only to an immediate danger, such as when bombers are already in the air and have not yet dropped any bombs. Rather, this is a case of "preventive war," since there is no clear and present danger to the U.S., and this does not have a basis in international law. Still, one could classify this reasoning as "orange," in the sense that it involves the calculated pursuit or defense of self-interest.
- regional stability This would be another plausible concern, were it not for the problem that a war against Iraq could cause as much instability as Hussein currently does to the region. The concern for stability can be considered a typical "orange" or "green" type of concern, depending on why instability is considered a problem. If it's because it is harming certain interests (such as economic profit-making), one could say that it is orange. If it harms an interest in maintaining stability for its own sake, as a systems concern, then it could be considered "green."
- Democratization of the region That is, the defeat of Hussein would allow the creation of a democratic Iraq, which would set a positive example for the region and perhaps lead to more democracy in the Middle East. Insofar as this perspective reflects an interest in promoting the political development of the countries in the region, it should be a concern of any integral approach (the Basic Moral Intuition). So, one could consider this argumentation yellow, but one has to beware that its implementation is not poisoned by "blue" western values, in the sense of imposing a "western democracy" on countries, or "orange" self-interest disguised as altruism (green would generally dismiss this argument, seeing "democratization" as an imposition of western values per se). In terms of the quadrants, this argument reflects a LR perspective, in the sense that it is interested in setting up democratic institutions. A more integral approach, however, would also pay attention to the LL and the need to promote a democratic political culture. Of course, the big question is whether democratic culture and institutions can actually best be promoted via an invasion and subsequently western style democratic institutions. While there have been some limited historical precedents (the most important that Bush policy officials have mentioned is post-WWII Japan), it is very doubtful whether this will happen in Iraq, given its ethnic diversity, its mostly pre-orange cultural development, and the interests of other countries in the region, which do not want to see currently marginalized (but majority) ethnic groups strengthened. A recent March 14 article in the Los Angeles Times uncovered a confidential State Department analysis, which flatly contradicts Bush's claim that the region could be democratized through U.S. force.
- Legitimate concern over strategic and essential resources (oil) this is perhaps the least openly articulated concern, but, if one is to believe the strategy papers that Bush appointees have written, this is perhaps one of the most important Bush administration concerns regarding the Middle East. Just because it has only rarely been publicly articulated, does not mean that it is not a valid concern. However, it is taboo to openly articulate such a blatant self-interest one which has no basis in international law, on top of it all. Most public expressions of this argument focus on guaranteeing U.S. might and the protection of unnamed U.S. interests and values. But what are U.S. interests in the Middle East? There is little doubt that it is oil and not just Iraq's, but OPEC's in general. High-level government analyses have been leaked that argue that Iraq is merely going to help the U.S. break Saudi Arabia, OPEC's most powerful member and the origin of nearly all of the 9/11 terrorists. This perspective is embedded in an orange level type of concern (as long as it is rationally legitimated, otherwise it could be blue or red, depending on the reasoning) that focuses on the LR, the supply of a material resource.
- A war without UN authorization violates international law (and without an authorization from the U.S. Congress it would violate the U.S. constitution). This is a fairly straight-forward "orange" argument that urges strict adherence to the rule of (rational/orange, not traditional/blue) law. In terms of the quadrants, the emphasis on legal norms belongs to the legal-rational culture, as Weber would say, thus the LL.
- The U.S. is pursuing illegitimate imperial interests. This perspective looks at pro-war arguments 1 & 2 above and doubts their sincerity. Instead, it focuses on #3, saying that the pursuit of national interests goes far beyond the legitimate and are much darker than Bush's policy experts let on.
Sidebar: Clearly, this is the type of argument that the left typically focuses on and, as such, it is also the type of argument championed by critical theory that is, it represents what some have called (Jόrgen Habermas and Paul Ricoeur) a "hermeneutics of suspicion." The founders of this hermeneutics are (according to Habermas & Ricoeur) Freud, Marx, and Nietzsche. While there is little integral about their approaches (except Nietzsche, perhaps), integral theory ought to include the hermeneutics of suspicion. The hermeneutics of suspicion usually is un-integral because it tends to privilege a particular quadrant and level over all others, as Wilber has argued in several of his works (for Freud the sexual/physical - UL and beige to red; for Marx the economic - LR and orange; and for Nietzsche it is power which could be given an integral interpretation, since power is very diffuse and can have roots in any quadrant and level). What integral-critical theorists thus ought to figure out is an integral hermeneutics of suspicion, which does not reduce everything to one quadrant/level, but which figures out what Q/L it is appropriate to trace truth claims to in given circumstances.
The existing (un-integral) hermeneutics of suspicion (anti-war perspective #2) comes in three basic variants. Most public pronouncements of this perspective, especially from the old left (which tends towards the "orange" and LR) and the new left (tends towards the "green" and LL) focus on the Marxist hermeneutics of suspicion: reduction of motives to economic (LR orange) or Anglo-European cultural interests (LL green). These boil down to a critique of U.S. efforts to establish:
- World economic hegemony Clearly a LR perspective, which comes in two variants:
- The pursuit of energy and oil-related profits. In other words, it reduces the war on Iraq to a "blood for oil" deal, whereby the U.S. is seen to pursue a secure and continuous supply of oil and of profits. This is essentially a critique of pro-war perspective #3, saying that the interest in maintaining a profitable oil supply is illegitimate for several reasons. First, it is illegitimate to wage war in the name of material gain. Second, others say that it is illegitimate to wage war over someone else's resource, with which they are free to do as they please. Third, some say that it is illegitimate to wage war over a resource that is unsustainable and harmful to the environment. In effect, all of these arguments say that the need to preserve life and peace precedes any interest in maintaining access to an important but unsustainable resource. One could interpret this line of argumentation as being part "orange," in that it questions the legality of the argument, and part "green," in that it raises the interest in peace above material interests. To skeptics of this line of argumentation, one would have to point to the rather compelling (in my view) evidence that the U.S. is pursuing these interests in its war with Iraq. For now, let me just point out that a U.S. government official has stated that an aim of U.S. policy was to "break OPEC's back." That is, the hermeneutics of suspicion says that the U.S. is aiming to control Iraqi oil so that it can give profitable contracts to U.S. oil companies, which then flood the oil market, which then could ruin the economies of Saudi Arabia and Venezuela (at the very least), eventually leading to the fall of unwanted governments in these countries.
- Maintenance of dollar hegemony. U.S. economic might is based to a very large extent on the fact that the dollar is the world's currency. This hegemony, however, is being threatened by the Euro and, indirectly, by Iraq. In 1999 Iraq switched its oil transactions to Euros and there has been some open speculation among other OPEC countries to switch all OPEC oil transactions to Euros, which would cause a collapse of the dollar and of the U.S. economy. One way to prevent this from happening would be to control Iraq, and destroy OPEC (see i. above).
- World political hegemony This is certainly related to the above point, but the emphasis is on U.S. political and military power. In a sense, political and military hegemony are needed so as to maintain economic hegemony (Noam Chomsky tends to make this argument). One can find particularly strong evidence for this analysis of U.S. motivations in the writings of the Project for a New American Century. Also, world systems theorist Immanuel Wallerstein (the foremost world social systems theorist) argues that the U.S. is globally on the decline and that its military forays are its last desperate efforts to ward off this decline.
- World cultural hegemony This last hermeneutic is the postmodern variant, which reduces the U.S. government's motives to efforts to establish the dominance of western (blue/Christian) culture these analysts see Samuel Huntington's Clash of Civilizations as being the prime embodiment of this type of motivation.
One could say that insofar as the Bush administration embodies blue Christian fundamentalism (Bush's rather strong evangelical orientation comes out in his speeches against the evil of Hussein and is well documented in Bob Woodward's rather sympathetic portrait of Bush in: Bush at War), as well as orange oil/profit interests (most major figures in Bush's cabinet come from the oil and energy industry) it believes it can kill two birds with one stone with its war in Iraq. Of course, the additional justification that the war will protect Iraqi minorities (a "green" concern) and promote political development (a "yellow" concern) makes the whole endeavor look integral, as Alan Tonkin (of the Global Values Network: newsletter #43) argues.
The hermeneutics of suspicion, however, casts doubt on how sincere the latter two concerns are, especially in light of the West's history in the region. That is, the U.S. helped create Hussein in the first place (just as it helped create the Taliban in Afghanistan) and therefore should not be trusted to do the right thing in Iraq now. That is, historical evidence is presented to provide further proof for the hermeneutics of suspicion. Also, the evidence suggests that the West lacks a clear understanding of the internal dynamics within Middle Eastern countries such as Iraq and therefore cannot be trusted to come up with a decent solution to the somewhat pathological developments in the region. A truly integral approach to the problem would suggest that an integral analysis of the region and how its problems could best be solved is required.
- Pro-war arguments #1a & 1c are false: Hussein does not present a threat to the region or to the U.S. (no serious analyst doubts that he threatens his own people). This is where the U.N. debate is centered: does Hussein have weapons of mass destruction and, if so, how can one most effectively disarm him? War opponents say that he either does not have them or, if he does, one should spend more time tracking them down and destroying them under UN supervision. In effect, we are dealing here with a purely empirical (left quadrant) question that can be answered with orange cognitive skills. The need for more time is primarily challenged by the practical issue that going to war with Iraq in the summer, which is quite difficult, due to the heat. This overall anti-war perspective is based in the orange questions of international law and what is empirically true. Based on the numerous criticisms leveled against the Bush administration's "evidence" of Hussein's possession of WMDs, this anti-war perspective seems quite damning for the case for war.
- War is always wrong or, at least, should be the very last resort, exercised strictly in self-defense. This is, of course, one of the main reasons for why there is international law and a Just War Theory in the first place (when it is used to prevent war instead of justify it, as is all too often the case). With the emergence of the orange meme (or world-centric perspective) people began to realize that war had better be waged for very good reasons, if we ever want to live in peace, thus leading to the creation of rules governing the engagement in war. The most important rule in this respect is perhaps the one that resulted from the 1648 Treaty of Westphalia, which provided the origins for the notion of national sovereignty. International law builds on this, especially with the founding of the United Nations.
While international law and the prevention of war are based on "orange" values, I would suggest, however, that with every subsequent stage the ability to avoid war while still maintaining one's values becomes greater. That is, while "orange" recognizes the basic shared humanness in all humans (something "blue" might not recognize, given its group-centered perspective), the de-centered perspective of "green" sees that "orange," despite its universal principles, has a tendency to marginalize and disregard the victims of its supposedly universal rationality. The typical "green" complaint here being the about the marginalization and victimization of the Third World at the hands of universalistic "orange" capitalist principles. The proto-typical "orange" war and "green" critique of it is the Vietnam War, where "orange" rationality said, "we must destroy the village in order to save it [from communism]." "Green," though, can at times condone war, as it did in the "humanitarian" war in Kosovo. That is, if the war is to protect a marginalized group, it could see this as being legitimate, since this is green's raison d'κtre. Other examples of "green" supporting warfare are the liberation theologians of Latin America (and the northern movements of solidarity with Latin American insurgents), who supported guerilla movements of various kinds against tyrannical regimes.
An integral perspective on war would transcend and include the concern for the victims of "orange" (in contrast to Tonkin) and could also envision war for humanitarian reasons. However, the integral (a-centric) perspective demands a more comprehensive and meta-perspectival understanding of the causes and consequences of war, which ought to lead it to devising better ways for avoiding war (for conflict management), while still living up to its highest values (the BMI), than either "orange" or "green" could.
First of all, one has to recognize that all arguments presented in the international public discourse are arguments made from either a world-centered ("orange") or de-centered ("green") perspective. Practically no one nowadays would present arguments to the public that come from a socio-centric ("blue") perspective (such as, "Hussein has violated traditional rules, such as the Qur'an, the Bible, etc." Although, claims that Hussein is "evil" should be considered "blue") or on ego-centric ("red") perspective ("I hate Hussein" - Well, Bush, when he said that Hussein "tried to kill my Daddy," did hint at this kind of perspective) as reasons for going to war.
Partisans of one side or the other generally refuse to take the other side's arguments seriously and will tend to say that their opponent's arguments are just a smokescreen for a hidden agenda. Key to an integral analysis is to first of all take the arguments of all sides seriously, no matter how faulty one might think they ultimately are. As Ken Wilber frequently says, "no one can be smart enough to be 100% wrong." However, one must also take into consideration the possible hidden agendas, via the hermeneutics of suspicion mentioned earlier. The trick is figuring out how all of the perspectives relate to each other and what their relative values/weights are.
Consequences of war and no war
A crucial dimension of the analysis that I have only hinted at so far is the careful examination of the possible consequences that war and no war would have had. This is, of course, an extremely difficult thing to do because there could potentially be an infinity of possible courses of action, leading to an infinity of possible consequences. For the sake of simplicity, let us examine only three possible courses of action with regard to the Iraq crisis: war (as it was waged), no war (i.e., what would have happened if weapons investigations had continued as before), and an as yet unspecified integral solution. We ought to examine the consequences particularly in light of the overall health of the spiral of social development (globally and for different nations/peoples).
First of all, the consequences would have been quite different, depending on whether the war had been brief or protracted, which means it would have been somewhat difficult to make educated guesses about the consequences of war beforehand. Still, there are some consequences that seemed reasonably probable in either case. Let's look at them in terms of the aspect of social development health, globally, regionally, nationally, and ethnically.
- Global The maintenance of national sovereignty has been a core principle of international politics for centuries, but in recent years the violation of this principle in the name of higher values has often been tolerated by the international community. However, Bush's and Blair's going to war against Iraq, despite the lack of an international consensus (such as a Security Council resolution) will probably disturb and significantly weaken the principles of international law (not that they were all too strong to begin with). Using similar arguments as the U.S. has used, thus invoking precedent, other powerful countries could very well proceed to invade less powerful countries that it deems a potential threat to its security. The end result could very well be a regression (as Kinsley suggests) in international politics, where might makes right (i.e., from "orange" right to "blue" and "red" might).
Not going to war, in terms of the global scale might have sent the wrong message to Hussein, as pro-war analysts say, but one has consider what message is being sent to other countries. North Korea, which has WMDs was not attacked, while a nearly completely disarmed Iraq was. This provides a strong incentive for countries to arm themselves. Also, one has to consider which is the worse consequence, given the double-standards that the U.S. practices when it comes to international law and security council resolutions (consider Israel's constant violation of numerous Security Council resolutions, for example, which the U.S. regularly ignores according to some counts, Israel is in violation of 64 Security Council resolutions, compared to 17 for Iraq).
- Regional and national consequences for the Middle East A victorious "regime change" in Iraq might mean the possibility of greater democratization in the region. But this seems fairly unlikely because Iraq is not exactly the best candidate for democratization. That is, Iraq is ethnically a very internally divided nation, between tribal peoples (red), modern western educated individuals (orange), and several ethnic groups in between (blue). It is much more likely that democratization will follow similar paths as in Somalia and Afghanistan, instead of Kosovo or Bosnia, let's say. In other words, the result is more likely going to be more instability for Iraq. On the other hand, a "regime change" in Iraq could have positive material benefits for the people of Iraq, primarily due to the lifting of the trade embargo and perhaps due to the stop of repression, assuming that they do not suffer too much during the war.
As for the region, we have to consider the effect U.S. dominance in Iraq will have for OPEC. In all likelihood, the U.S. is going to try to make sure that U.S. oil companies gain better access to Iraq's oil fields and break Iraq's OPEC quotas, flooding the market with oil, which the would lead to a dramatic drop in the price of oil ($10 per barrel seems to be the minimum where profits can still be made). This will have serious consequences for all of the world's oil producers, but especially for countries such as Iran, Venezuela, Russia, Mexico (all countries that are already producing at near their maximum capacity and which will face massive budget cuts, should the price of oil fall dramatically the result will be popular unrest in these countries, possibly leading to the fall of the current governments democratically in the democracies, violently in the autocracies). The most important country in the equation (and most unpredictable, perhaps) is Saudi Arabia. It is already on the brink of upheaval due to popular resentment and growing fundamentalism and could very well fall too.
War, waged unilaterally by two of the region's historically most hated enemies (the U.S. and the U.K.), will probably increase the amount and intensity of fundamentalism in the region (and subsequently of terrorism).
Not going to war against Iraq would mean that the repression against the Iraqi people continues (though, the U.S. missed a chance to get rid of Hussein when there were uprisings against the regime following the '91 Gulf war, which the U.S. allowed Hussein to repress). For the region, it seems the consequences have been exaggerated by the Bush administration. Even Kuwait, which was once invaded by Iraq, does not seem to be concerned about the danger that Iraq currently poses.
- Regional and national consequences for the U.S. and Europe Despite the Bush administration's claim that part of the reason for going to war against Iraq is to prevent terrorism, much more likely is that it will increase terrorism, as internal Bush administration analyses have warned. While the iron fist of the West might lead some to abandon terrorism, more likely, based on what we can observe in Israel and in other locations where efforts are made to crack down on terrorism, individuals inclined towards fundamentalism will experience U.S. intervention as repressive and will lash out against this.
Some analysts (such as Alan Tonkin) have characterized Iraq and Al Queda terrorists as being motivated by the "red" value memes, thus requiring "blue" authority to reign them in. However, one can question this characterization. While Hussein personally might act primarily out of the "red" meme, his followers probably are for the most part socio-centric, Islamic "blue" and will not take well to western "blue" authority. The same would go for Al Queda. Imposing someone else's blue (the U.S. military's or Bush's) on an Islamic culture's blue meme is just going to lead to more animosity (and thus terrorism). A better strategy, which some have suggested, would be for the region's leaders to reign-in their own.
Another consequence of the war is a tattered relationship between the war allies (U.S., Spain, and Britain) and war opponents (France, Germany, and Russia). On the other hand, one could argue that the relationship would have been just as tattered if war opponents had won out.
Summary: Integrating and balancing the perspectives
I have attempted to present the issue in as much complexity as I could, given the limitations of a paper of this length. I have tried to look at the problem in terms of:
- the different level/quadrant perspectives that have been presented to the public,
- past causes, present considerations, and possible future consequences
- ethnic, national, regional, and global scales
Obviously, reality is always much more complex than any mere words can grasp and thus much detail is left out, perhaps some important aspects were completely overlooked. There is a last (4th) dimension that has not been explored yet, which is the overall health of the spiral of development/evolution, which I will focus on in the last section, on what can be done.
Examining the foregoing dimensions of analysis, we can perhaps distill some of the primary factors that ought to be considered in any integral analysis.
From pro-war perspectives:
- Threats to security insecurity of: (LR)
- Iraqi people (green)
- Neighboring states (green)
- "The West" (orange)
- The region (orange/green)
- The global community (orange/green)
- Advancing political development/democratization (yellow)
- Access to vital resources (LR-orange)
From anti-war perspectives:
- Respect for international law (LL-orange)
- Avoid (U.S.) hegemony (green)
- Economic (LR)
- Political (LR)
- Cultural (LL)
- Verify accuracy of threat perception (LR-orange)
- Avoid war whenever possible (green/yellow)
- Advancing political development/democratization (yellow)
Addressing all of the above mentioned concerns, insofar as they are authentic (serious doubts have been raised about the authenticity and sincerity of some of them) they also ought to automatically address the question of how to promote the greatest development for the greatest number of beings. The reason for this is that each perspective expresses a particular concern that if it is not addressed would potentially block or prevent further development.
A Possible Framework for Addressing Pro- and Anti-War Concerns, while Promoting the BMI
First, we could simply assume that the international community of nations possesses the political will to create a framework for properly dealing with the issues that the current Iraq crisis raises. What would such a framework look like, under such circumstances? Second, and more realistically, we can assume that there is no such will (at least not yet), then what could the most powerful nations do, such as the U.S. and Europe? This too makes a problematic assumption that the leaders of these countries possess the political will to do what would be in the interest of an integral solution. Third, and perhaps most realistically, we can simply ask what should integrally oriented individuals push for, given the lack of a global and national political will to do what is right from an integral perspective. I will begin with the third and most realistic approach what can integrally motivated individuals do? and will then take a brief look at the more utopian perspectives of what, ideally, powerful states and the world community could and ought to do.
Just as the perspective of an integral approach is meta-perspectival, so would the strategy be meta-strategic. That is, rather than just focusing on influencing one's own leaders to adopt a more integral approach or perspective in this particular issue, one should find ways that combine such influence with the larger issue of creating lasting institutions or structures that can cope with future crises in a more integral manner. While in this particular instance one might recommend going to war with Iraq as the most integral approach (which I do not think it is), such a recommendation should not contradict the possibility of creating more integral solutions in the long term. In other words, an integral solution would have its eyes on the long-term ideal solutions, even while formulating short-term proposals to the problem.
Here I am inspired by William Ury's conception of the "Third Side," which in his conflict resolution approach is the catalyst for defusing violent conflict. However, I would see the role of an integral approach perhaps as the "fourth side," in that it consists of the explicitly integrally-oriented elements within the "third side." That is, the third side, as Ury conceives it, consists of those who are capable of making sense of both sides in a conflict. As such, individuals who are part of the third side are capable of acting as facilitators, mediators, referees, or other roles necessary to de-escalate or resolve conflict. The third side, by virtue of being able to "put itself in the shoes of the other," can bring people on both sides together, build bridges between them, and get them to talk and perhaps even understand each other.
The integral third side would go beyond the conventional third side, in that it would be in a position to apply the skills and insights that would not be available to less integral perspectives. That is, it would not only be able to make sense of all sides in the conflict, but it would be able to figure out how these sides fit together in the larger scheme of things. Also, in the moral dimension, the integral third side would focus on what Ken Wilber has called the "basic moral intuition" of promoting the overall health of everyone's development, rather than just being focused on de-escalating or resolving the immediate conflict.
An integral third side, in my understanding of it, would thus base its advocacy on the following:
- Find policies that are forward looking, that go beyond the immediate situation and contribute towards a future in which similar problems are resolved more effectively.
- Make sense of different perspectives, understand how they relate to each other, and address the perspectives in accordance with how they relate to each other in the larger scheme of things.
- Contribute towards finding solutions that promote the development of all individuals and of society as a whole (the basic moral intuition).
Based on the foregoing, I would say that an integral approach would lobby for the following complex of responses in relation to Iraq and similar situations:
- A consistent world-wide effort to root out groups or individuals that commit crimes against humanity (as defined by the international criminal court). First of all, such a policy would address the pro-war concerns that regimes such as Hussein's Iraq threaten the security of its own people, of neighboring countries, of the region, or of First World countries. Key, however, to such a policy is that it is consistent. This is one of the main criticisms that war opponents have; that the effort to get rid of Saddam Hussein is a completely inconsistent application of an otherwise possibly decent policy; that the U.S. and its allies oppose tyrants when it is convenient to U.S. national interests, but also supports such tyrants (and the U.S. did support Hussein before he invaded Kuwait, just as it supported the Taliban in Afghanistan when they were fighting the Soviet Union) when it is convenient. In other words, if the U.S. is going to play the role of world police, then it better do so consistently, otherwise it will continue to have little to no credibility in enforcing human rights. A much better but more difficult solution, though, would be if the international community were to institutionalize the pursuit of criminals against humanity (see point 3 below).
- Awareness of possible ulterior motives on all sides of the debate and avoid falling prey to these. This recommendation addresses the suspicion of anti-war advocates, who believe that the U.S. is primarily interested in bringing the country with the world's second largest oil reserves under the control of a pro-U.S. government. One way to avoid such a suspicion would be to separate the military pursuit of a regime that has committed crimes against humanity from the future governing of the country whose regime has been changed. In other words, by insisting that the U.S. play the dominant role in rebuilding Iraq (actually in governing rebuilding will still be left to the Iraqis), the U.S. plays directly into the suspicions that this war was about oil and not about "bringing democracy to Iraq" or about ridding the world of a dangerous tyrant. However, suspicion should also be applied to some anti-war groups, such as the ones that appeared to be supporting Hussein (some elements in the U.S. anti-war movement, such as ANSWER) and opposing the existence of Israel that these might be more motivated by red-meme hate against the U.S. or Israel than by reasoned (orange or above) reflection, as they claim.
- Work towards institutionalizing world-centric (orange) values (while also paying attention to blue, green, and yellow/integral values). One of the reasons that the Bush administration (and nearly all others before it) has been able to go against the UN is because the UN has indeed become a fairly ineffective organization when it comes to enforcing international law. Such a development is to some extent due to the actions of the U.S. itself. However, a large part of the UN's failings can be traced to its less than world-centric construction. That is, by paying tribute to the world's de-facto powers (by giving veto power to five permanent members: U.S., France, Britain, Soviet Union/Russia, and China), its founders institutionalized power politics of the worst kind, which stand in direct contradiction with the formal world-centric basis of the UN, the International Declaration on Human Rights. Power politics, which can be based in anything from red, to blue, to orange, to green values, have been guiding the policies of the UN ever since it was founded over 55 years ago, and have thus consistently undermined any real implementation or pursuit of the world-centric principles of the international human rights charter. So, the question for anyone seriously interested in institutionalizing world-centric (orange) principles is how to reform the UN or create a world government of some kind that would do so. This is not the place to explore this issue, but a first step would have to involve the democratization of the UN (or similar organization) and a move away from power politics. This, of course, would require the political will for such an agenda and would thus involve a transformation of consciousness among the world's politicians (and their populations) that so far does not seem to be on the horizon. If that is the case, then the most important task of the integral third side is to promote such a transformation of consciousness. As such, this third point indirectly addresses the developmental concerns of both pro- and anti-war perspectives, which argue that the political development of countries like Iraq should be an important concern. That is, the real political development of Iraq would require a real political development of the world's polity (of both political culture/consciousness and political structures, LL and LR).

- The Third Side: Why We Fight and How We Can Stop (Penguin, 2000) |
EMILY’s List—the Democratic group supporting pro-choice women for office—has launched a new campaign aimed at slamming Sarah Palin and the candidates she’s endorsed in this year’s elections. The campaign has launched on www.SarahDoesntSpeakForMe.com, which features a video parodying the conservative Republican “Mama Grizzlies” that Palin has trumpeted:
Dressed in bear costumes, the women in the video don’t simply mock Palin’s “Mama Grizzly” meme; they try to appropriate it as a liberal symbol that will “rear up” to defend reproductive rights and a social safety net. “But believe me, there are plenty of mama grizzlies out there who would disagree with you. So you’re right, you don’t want to mess with mama grizzlies. Don’t mess with us,” the women say in the ad.
But it’s unclear how much weight an anti-Palin message will have this year. It’s a defensive strategy that’s an extension of the Democratic Party’s larger attempt to make 2010 a replay of the 2008 election by focusing on the issues that mobilized its base at the time. But by fixating on Palin, there’s the danger that she and the other loudmouth Republicans will still control the terms of the debate. Though EMILY’s List tries to turn the “Mama Grizzly” symbol on its head, the ad ends up sticking with the bear-as-common-woman theme that Palin pioneered—ultimately staying within Palin’s own political mythology. |

What Is Moss Coin And Digital Currency Have A Usd Core Address? |
A solid joke can have a lasting impact on its audience, but rarely does it directly affect the political landscape. But in 2017, one spoof of the Catalan independence movement did just that.
In the autumn of 2017, the people of Catalonia took to the polls in a referendum on their independence from Spain. The Spanish government and a Spanish court had ruled the referendum unconstitutional, so in the days leading up to the vote, armed police raided locations all over Catalonia in an attempt to find and seize ballots to stop the vote from happening. Only the Catalan nationalist groups organising the referendum knew where they were located.
The ballot boxes suddenly appeared on election day, the 1st of October, when it turned out hundreds of Catalans had hidden them in their homes for months, and carried them to the polling stations the night before, while parents with children had slept over at the stations to prevent security forces from entering.
Still, national authorities sent thousands of riot police to prevent people from voting, using batons and rubber bullets – by the end of that particularly violent day, 844 people and 33 police had been treated for injuries.
The pro-independence movement claimed victory, announcing that 92 percent of voters supported independence. That might have been the case, but turnout was also low at 43 percent – more or less the same percentage of people who usually vote for the various pro-Catalonia parties at major elections. Meanwhile, pro-Spanish groups claimed supporters of Catalan independence had voted multiple times in the referendum.
The conflict between pro-independence and pro-union groups in the region had been brought to a boiling point. Some days later, the President of Catalonia, Carles Puigdemont, officially proclaimed the Catalan Republic, but immediately suspended independence proceedings until further dialogue with the Spanish government and the international community. No such dialogue happened – the Spanish government started arresting Catalan politicians and activists. Amid continuous demonstrations, Puigdemont fled to Belgium.
In the end, Catalans' fight for independence did sort of put a new country on the map, but not the one they were hoping for. The new country was called Tabarnia, and had started out as a fairly innocent joke.
Independence from independence
According to its supporters, Tabarnia is a fictional region within Catalonia, made up of a strip of land between Barcelona and Tarragona, where, historically, Catalonian pro-independence parties have struggled to pick up votes. Born as a parody of the Catalan independence movement, the idea really took off a few years before the referendum, in 2013, when posts began appearing on Forocoches – a Spanish online forum where memes, trolling and politics intersect in a way similar to Reddit or 4chan.
Tabarnia was written and memed about as Catalonia’s more cosmopolitan, open-minded half – full of people who had come to the region from other parts of Spain. If Catalonia sought independence from Spain, Tabarnia in turn would seek independence from Catalonia.
As the Catalan government seriously started pushing for a referendum on independence, pro-Spanish groups played up the concept of Tabarnia. The tactic was simple at first – they countered every slogan from Catalan separatists with their own slogan. If Catalan separatists chanted that Spain was stealing resources from Catalonia, Tabarnia supporters would reply that the rest of Catalonia was stealing from them.
“The most beautiful thing about Tabarnia is that it pisses Catalans off so much,” says Mikel, an IT engineer who prefers to remain anonymous because of his active role in the Tabarnia Twitter community. “Show them the Spanish flag, and they’ll call you a fascist, but if you take out the Tabarnia flag, you’re basically calling them fascists”.
Of course separatist Catalans don’t see it that way: Pro-independence groups say they are promoting a nationalist movement that is open, diverse and progressive – in contrast to what they see as the hyper-nationalist expression of Spanish identity on the pro-union side.
Following the Catalan regional elections in December of 2017, Tabarnia ceased to be just a social media meme and started to gather more attention. The group behind the site Barcelona is not Catalonia launched the Tabarnia movement, which meant the unionist counter-offensive was now officially battling pro-independence groups for media attention. As dialogue between the government and Catalan leaders completely broke down, all sorts of wild stories started appearing in Spanish media, including proposals about a “two-state” solution between Catalonia and Tabarnia.
And then there was the time Jaume Vives, a 24-year-old journalist stood on the balcony of his house and started yelling that he was fed up with this shit. A video of the incident went so viral Vives was offered the role of being the official spokesperson for Tabarnia.
By the time Vives joined the movement, Tabarnia wasn’t just a viral joke anymore. Albert Boadella, a famous actor and pro-unionist who claims he had to flee Catalonia due to his beliefs, was considered Tabarnia’s president in exile. On the 16th of January, 2018, the representatives of Tabarnia gave their first press conference, broadcasting a pre-recorded speech by Boadella in which he proclaimed that saying "Long live Tabarnia!" was as patriotic as saying "Long live Spain!” The parody of the independence movement was growing into a form of Spanish nationalism in its own right.
Vives, in his new role as spokesperson, also gave a press conference on that day, which was followed by mainstream TV channels and newspapers. In it, Vives announced that if Catalonia became independent, Tabarnia would immediately break off from Catalonia and go back to being part of Spain. None of the secessionist leaders reacted, but unionist politicians cheered on.
Andrea Levy, a former member of the Catalan Parliament with the unionist Partido Popular, was one of those politicians fully in support of the cause. “It was an ironic response to years of [Catalan] nationalism,” Levy tells me, “against the prevailing idea that there was only one Catalonia acting in unison.”
Levy thinks that the success of the phenomenon “proved there was a part of the Catalan people that hadn’t channelled their opposition to independence in an organised way, but now had the right mechanisms to do so.”
And so the first Tabarnia flags began to appear in the streets of Barcelona: hanging from balconies and waved at pro-Spain demonstrations.
Eventually, a number of Catalan independistas were brought before the courts, and Tabarnia started having to compete for airtime again. Antonio Baños, former representative in the Catalan parliament of the secessionist left-wing party CUP, believes that the disproportionate media interest in Tabarnia in the final days of 2017 proves that “behind this supposed mockery [of Catalan independence] there was a lot of money, and a real interest in discrediting the pro-independence movement – a movement with 2 million people involved, who suffered police brutality and political persecution.” In other words: the whole Tabarnia thing could have been choreographed by the Spanish forces in power.
Supporters of Tabarnia deny any kind of funding. Vives tells me that, at its core, Tabarnia never stopped being a small group of people taking the piss out of secessionists, with no real structure and certainly no funding. Vives believes the success of the joke was due to people’s weariness with the rhetoric of the Catalan nationalist politicians who had ruled Catalonia for almost 30 years. “We used the same words as them to defend a meaningless project. Just like them.”
Baños, however, doesn’t believe they were just a bunch of well-meaning pranksters. “You just need to look at the profiles of its members to see they’re the elite, and that there are many right-wing extremists among them.” Vives has denied this, and insists that the Tabarnia movement is comprised of people from all ideologies, “from conservatives to liberals. What [the Catalan nationalists] can’t stand is that they’ve been exposed.”
The disagreement between Baños and Vives shows how Tabarnia became another way of dividing Catalan society. Half of the population in Catalonia want a new border, while the other half created an imaginary one to make fun of them.
The push for independence slowed down with the imprisonment of Catalonia’s political leaders, which meant the Tabarnia movement also lost momentum. There's still a website up selling merchandise, and there are a few Twitter accounts actively supporting the idea. But overall, it seems Tabarnia is back to being a meme – albeit one that got slightly out of hand.

NewsOne Now host Roland Martin recently spoke with Jason Mitchell (Easy-E), Corey Hawkins (Dr. Dre) and O’Shea Jackson, Jr. (Ice Cube) about their experiences channeling NWA for the new hip-hop biopic Straight Outta Compton.
About Straight Outta Compton from the film’s official Facebook page:
In 1987, five young men, using brutally honest rhymes and hardcore beats, put their frustration and anger about life in the most dangerous place in America into the most powerful weapon they had: their music. Taking us back to where it all began, Straight Outta Compton tells the true story of how these cultural rebels—armed only with their lyrics, swagger, bravado and raw talent—stood up to the authorities that meant to keep them down and formed the world’s most dangerous group, N.W.A. And as they spoke the truth that no one had before and exposed life in the hood, their voice ignited a social revolution that is still reverberating today.
Mitchell told Martin there were many aspects of NWA that no one knows about, while Hawkins said the iconic group “had their finger on the pulse.”
“I feel like they were at first creating music for their neighborhood. They wanted to be hood-stars. They wanted to make Compton proud, and then when they started rapping about the things that started becoming hot-button issues — that’s when it became an issue. That’s when usually people pull they foot off the gas — that’s when they (NWA) put their foot on the gas,” he said.
Martin asked the trio if they were surprised to learn about how the FBI, police, and other forces were coming after NWA at the height of their popularity.
“Absolutely,” said Mitchell. “They had so many more problems. They had wars going on in the world.” He considered the music of NWA a form of “non-violent protest,” adding it’s “uncanny” to know the type of attraction the group received “just by speaking some truths.”
O’Shea Jackson, Jr., who makes his big screen debut as his father Ice Cube, told Martin his parents kept him “very informed, because if you let your child out into the world and you don’t know about reality — you don’t know the rules of the game before you play — you are going to lose.”
“They’ve always been very open about those who may have been against my father’s words or what he had to say or him speaking his mind, so it was really nothing in this film besides some rambunctiousness here and there that I didn’t really know about,” he continued.
Knowing behind the scenes details is what “fueled” Jackson to go after the role of Cube. Jackson detailed the two-year process he went through auditioning for the role and said because this is his “family’s legacy,” the movie had to be “as authentic as possible.”
Watch Roland Martin’s interview with Jason Mitchell, Corey Hawkins, and O’Shea Jackson, Jr. in the video clip above.
Straight Outta Compton premieres in theaters Friday, August, 14. Make sure you check out the movie that speaks to the foundation of one of the most important groups in the history of music. Don’t forget to get your own personalized Straight Outta Compton meme at www.straightouttasomewhere.com.

As 2017 gets underway, it seems clear that a theme that will dominate many headlines this year is the “fake news” meme being leveled at the alternative press by a freaked-out establishment seeking to keep the masses misinformed while silencing growing waves of dissent that could make the 1960s look like the Victorian era.
The articles by Dylan Charles, Brendan Murphy and Jon Rappoport shared recently here on Snooze2Awaken speak directly to this absurdly obvious power play straight out of Orwell on the part of the Cabal.
You can read the Introduction to this Spirited Glossary for the Little Devil in You here.
Why do I think cracking jokes that expose the cracks in the system could make any difference in the grand scheme of corruption and enslavement that currently has a stranglehold on our planet? Simple. In the wise words of Dario Fo, “It is hard for power to enjoy or incorporate humor and satire in its system of control.”
Below, I’m taking this opportunity to share a list of over 100 alternative news websites (originally found here) that provide a multitude of perspectives with many differences in opinion but one thing in common that is emphatically not shared by the mainstream news: a desire to get at the truth.
Finally, speaking of truth-telling, I encourage you to support what may well be a watershed moment in the whistleblowing movement by helping launch the Global Freedom University.
In the words of founder Brendan Murphy, this “Truthiversity” is an “online adult education initiative designed to teach all the subjects we all wish we’d learned at school (as well as the stuff the media won’t touch). This includes information from a broad range of twelve core faculties, including health, wellness, consciousness, sustainability, spirituality, energy psychology and much more.”

Christians, we are not called to be pragmatists. We are not commanded to “reach across the aisle” to get things done. Ephesians 5:11-14 reads “Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of the things that they do in secret. But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible, for anything that becomes visible is light.” Now is not the time for piety (it's never that time.) We are commanded to be the salt and light of the earth. We should be actively preserving what is good and exposing what is evil to the light of the Gospel. Here are 5 reasons why the time is now to fight for the end of abortion:
1. Sharing the Gospel does not prohibit us from creating just laws in our society
The truth is, the Gospel is offensive. We should be always be on the offense with the Gospel. The Great Commission calls us on to make disciples of all nations, teaching them to obey everything Jesus has commanded us. Jesus commands us according to God’s Law. God’s law was made for society, to be administered by government. We know that the core of the Gospel is a call to repentance and belief in Jesus in exchange for eternal life, but God’s magistrate exists in spite of the Gospel. The magistrate is God’s minister to punish those who do evil. Evil is only (read: can only be) defined according to God’s Law. Christians, we exist in this nation now. We have been here from the beginning, and the natural outflowing of a nation of disciples should infiltrate the nation's laws. No excuse should be made that we must share the Gospel first. The Gospel has been shared and because of this, thousands of churches can be found in almost every state in this country. As the wheat grows with the tares, so do non-believers and enemies of God exists alongside believers. If a nation could exist without the lawless and unbelievers, God's law would not be needed.
2. As is written in 1 Timothy 1:9, "Knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners."
If we have any doubt that the moral and civil law of God is still applicable, let Paul’s words clear this up. The Law of God can and should be used to restrain sinners and the ungodly. Realize here that when Paul speaks of the civil magistrate being the agent of God’s wrath, he spent a couple of chapters earlier in Romans defining who God’s wrath is poured out against. It is not the civil magistrate punishing evil that we should fear, for we as Christians should be doing good; but instead it is the civil magistrate that is punishing the good, the innocent, and the righteous that we should fear, for they do not consider themselves subservient to God, and will soon place the nation under God’s judgment. The commonly quoted Bible verse “stand in the gap” comes from Ezekiel 22:23-31, where God pours out his wrath on Israel because the princes destroy people among other sins.
3. We should not be compelled by popular opinion or the “will of the people” to soften our stance
Nor should we make abortion permissible on the basis of rape. Don’t get me wrong, rape is of the worst kind of evil, demanding the death penalty, and having compassion on the victim. We should be patient with the rape victim and grieve as she grieves, but one evil act does not justify another. The baby does not know how it was conceived, nor is it considered to be less imago dei (image of God) than any other child. We affirm as the Apostle Paul wrote in Galatians 1:10, “For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.” The words of Jesus himself agree in John 15:20-22, "If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also. But all these things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin."
The natural outflowing of a nation of disciples should infiltrate the nation's laws. -@WScott84
4. To state the obvious, babies don’t care if they are inconveniencing the mother
They don't know if they are getting in the way of their mother's career path, nor are they going to care if your theological excuse made you believe that outlawing abortion wasn't the right path. To quote a popular online meme “If unborn babies could vote, every state would be red”. Sadly this is more true in theory than reality. The Republicans have failed to follow through in outlawing abortion. The last time they had complete control of congress (2001-2002), they simply passed a token Partial-Birth Abortion Ban to silence the critics, which did little to stop the genocide in this country. This is why we must lay the pressure on the incoming Republican government more than ever. Babies' rights are civil rights, and if the Progressives in their cognitive dissonance have trouble understanding this, they should be ashamed of themselves; even many medical school ceremonials still hold a ceremony where doctors swear by the Hippocratic Oath including not assisting in abortion. Advances in medical science continues to press the boundaries of our understanding of early fetal development. Recent studies conclude a baby can feel pain as early as 8 weeks.
5. Our fight to end abortion is the American way
Let’s not forget that passing large pieces of legislation is sometimes done when one party is in complete control. The Affordable Care Act (Obama Care) was passed when the Democrats had complete control of congress and Barack Obama was president. Others like Roe vs Wade and Obergefell (legalizing same sex marriage nationwide) were Supreme Court cases. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was legislation passed through Congress, and while it was bipartisan it did have its share of opposition. The Emancipation Proclamation precede the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments as an executive order issued by Abraham Lincoln. Making abortion illegal through a Conservative Supreme Court, with the power of a Conservative Congress and President is no less American than how it was legalized. Nor is denying the opposition a compromise. The Democrats treat abortion the same way they treated the right to own slaves: demeaning the object of their property. Their party was kicking and screaming the whole way when it was outlawed; lest we forget the KKK is their creation. If they want to talk about how we will outlaw abortion, maybe we should remind them of their mixed record on Civil Rights. They have the tendency to obsess over the right to choose when it fits their agenda (abortion, gay rights), and cry about choice when it doesn’t (guns rights, freedom of conscience). We choose on the basis on God’s eternal law, not on the Democrat’s moving social target.
Christians, we have no excuse not to move full speed ahead with pressuring President Trump and the Republicans to outlaw abortion. Unborn babies about to have their brains sucked out and cut up into pieces don’t care about your excuses. They care that they were able to live. This fight to outlaw abortion must not stop there, since God also commands us to take care of the oppressed, the orphans, widows, and poor. Be ready to back up your opposition to abortion with the willingness to take care of these new mothers, fathers, and children, and even adopt any child that is unwanted. Start by calling, writing an email or letter, or visiting the office of your local congressman or woman and get connected with larger organizations (Babies Are Murdered Here, Abolish Human Abortion) dedicated to the pro-life cause.
Our time is now. Our time has always been now, to outlaw abortion. |

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly book meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. Each week, she posts an idea relating to books and encourages other book bloggers to respond with their own top ten lists.
This week’s topic is “Top Ten Book Events/Festivals I’d Love To Go To Someday.” To date, the only book event I’ve been to was a signing for The Starless Sea (which was wonderful!) and I still haven’t been to any bookish festivals. Here are some of the ones I’d love to attend:
V.E. Schwab book tour
I would love to be able to attend one of V.E. Schwab’s future book tour dates, especially if there’s a signing component (my copy of Vicious could use a signature!).
HCC Frenzy Presents
I’ve been invited to a few Frenzy Presents events with the HarperCollins Canada team, but haven’t been able to attend yet. Hopefully I can make it to one once the world is a little more normal, especially since I’m now living in Toronto — it looks like a great way to preview upcoming titles!
TIFF ‘Loved It’ Events
I was so sad to have missed the Loved It: Jia Tolentino on Drop Dead Gorgeous event, since I adored Trick Mirror (and Jia’s other writing) and it would be such a fun screening. I’m definitely aiming to attend others like this in the future!
Station Eleven Screening
So this is definitely never going to happen, but I would love to attend a screening for the Station Eleven TV show when it’s finished filming.
Treasures of the British Library Exhibition
The description says it all: “From Magna Carta and Shakespeare to Ada Lovelace and The Beatles. Explore some of the world’s most exciting, beautiful and significant books, manuscripts and sound recordings.”
Toronto International Festival of Authors
I’m trying to be more intentional about reading more Canadian books, and celebrating book launches for emerging Canadian authors sounds like the perfect way to do this.
Word on the Street Festival
This free magazine + book festival has been on my list for ages, and now that I live in Toronto, I’m hoping I can make it to at least one!
I watched a few of the BookConline sessions in May, but I’d love to properly attend in-person — it seems like it would be so much fun, and a great way to meet other book bloggers!
Which bookish events or festivals would you like to attend? |
Home is where your besties are. When you head off to college, one of the things you may miss the most is the friend crew that has been there since day one. They were in your kindergarten class, and played on your field hockey team in high school. The memories from pasta parties, band practice, and every adventure in between are endless. Sure, going off to school meant making new friends and finding roommates that would be your soul sisters for four years. But, there are truly just some
things your home friends understand that nobody else ever does. Maybe that's why you love them so much.
You remember the days of watching
Hannah Montana after school, and get a little nostalgic over the birthdays and heart-to-hearts you've had along the way. You've likely spent hours on FaceTime late at night catching up on weekends when you weren't together. Honestly, long-distance relationships are tough, and you have a couple of pictures in your room of your partners-in-crime, too.
The second you get home, you'll probably see your besties and give them the biggest hugs. Even though you were away, they have been your go-to girls for everything — from laughs to advice, and memes on a rather rough Monday. They know exactly how to make you smile, and will take you out for home fries at the diner when you're nervous about a date. These seven things they totally understand — and thank goodness, because nobody else does.
The Local Spots You Love
Leave it to your home friends to understand your love for some local spots. It makes sense that your college friends wouldn't share that same passion for the cute pizzeria on Main Street. They likely have their own places where they're a regular, too. But your besties back in your hometown will know that sometimes, you're just really craving sushi from that one particular place, and that nothing could ever compare to the milkshakes at the diner in your town. You'll even get a text from them every once in awhile saying, "You know what I really want right now?" Of course you do. It's the cheesecake from your crew's favorite bakery, duh.
Your hometown besties have been there for every second of your first relationships. They watched you crush so hard for that guy in homeroom, and remember when you finally got the guts to text him. You were
so nervous, but they did some digging on social media and talked to mutual friends to find out that he had some feels, too.
a lot of lessons about love since then, but nobody will understand just who you have eyes for better than your besties back home. They know that you'll always fall for someone with brown shaggy hair, and need a significant other who can keep up with your busy schedule. Nobody else seems to get that, but them. 03
Your Embarrassing Stories
Growing up together has meant that you and your home friends have shared some pretty embarrassing moments. There were the days of high school when you thought those platform, slip-on sneakers were so trendy, and the times when you were trying to be cool. Don't get me wrong, you turned out to be a really rad person and are navigating the real world with so much style, but that doesn't mean that your best friends won't remind you of the times when you absolutely #failed.
Looking back, you laugh at yourself and feel lucky that your people at home know just how much you've grown. Nobody else needs to know those stories, but they certainly understand them.
The Things That Truly Cheer You Up
Nobody can put a smile on your face like your best friends from home. Whether you're miles apart or sitting on the same couch, all it takes is a meme or a funny memory for you to be laughing out loud. This skill has come in handy when you've been down or dealing with a breakup. These girls have been your reliable shoulders to cry on, but they also know exactly what flavor of Ben & Jerry's to buy that'll totally change your mood. They won't let you hang with that box of tissues for too long, and will spontaneously start a dance party to your favorite songs. It's quite magical, if I do say so myself.
You've had big dreams since the days of middle school. Maybe you've wanted to be an actress, move to the West Coast, or own a business one day. At one point, those ideas were all just in your head, but now, you have the passion and power to make them a reality.
The new friends in your life may know that you really want to
travel like a blogger, or be a journalist in the city. But, only your friends from home will understand that your ambition started back in the days of disposable cameras on field trips and high school English class. There's so much more to the story than just having a few items on your bucket list.
Your besties are basically your siblings. They've been in your life for so long, that they aren't even phased by walking into your house when you're not home and grabbing some snacks. You'll catch them texting your mom, or hanging with your little sister. Seriously, these girls aren't just friends — they're family.
They remember the time when you and your sister fought over the scooter, or decided to run away from home. They even know that your mom never buys chips at the grocery store, and how it's always such a struggle. You love your fam, despite all of the drama they can cause, and your besties will always understand your really rad roots.
The Things You'll Do For Those You Love
You'd do just about anything for your ride or dies. Your besties know that you really don't hold back with your love, and tend to wear your heart on your sleeve. You'll help your friends and family reach their goals, and are the best bud when it comes to adventures. Sure,
you've probably done some ridiculous things over the years, but you know that your hometown BFFs appreciate every ounce of your love.
Truth is, you don't know where you'd be without these people. They've been around through thick and thin, and understand every part of your personality. Sometimes showing off your weird side, or telling those embarrassing stories doesn't come easy. You may cringe even at the thought of it. Lucky for you, though, your hometown besties understand it already — despite the fact that nobody else does. |

Even Chris Simms wins on the internet sometimes
There are certain takes that get folks blacklisted on the internet forever. Takes that act as a scarlet letter, where no matter what you say in the future people always go back to "yeah, well, your take on (insert topic) is invalid because you said (insert bad take) that one time." For former NFL quarterback Chris Simms, his scarlet letter take was his top 10 NFL QBs of all time list, which we sufficiently roasted him for last December:
This list stinks, and that stench should stay on Simms forever. But the list shouldn't preclude Simms from future internet victories, like the one he had on Monday morning. Last week, Simms had said that the Denver Broncos defense was "average," and that the New England Patriots would "impose their will" on them. Denver wound up putting together a dominant defensive effort, holding New England to 12 points and less than 300 yards, and forcing three turnovers. Understandably, the Broncos Twitter account took the opportunity to dunk on Simms:
Like any good grudge-holder, Simms kept this clip in the back of his mind all week. Then, after the Kansas City Chiefs hung 43 on Denver on Sunday, Simms fired back with an A+ counter-dunk:
Atta boy, Chris. Nothing like a good sPonGeboB meMe oFf. We respect the pettiness. Of course, Simms is too nice of a guy and had to clarify that it wasn't all the defense's fault:
Just take your victory lap dude. No need to cave to the haters. |
By William K. Black
April 8, 2016 Bloomington, MN
(Crossposted from Huffington Post. Postscript added for NEP)
Remember several weeks ago when Hillary Clinton was complaining that Democrats did not consider her a “progressive?” Bernie Sanders’ big win in Wisconsin ended that tactic and propelled Paul Krugman and Hillary and Bill Clinton to race to the right, inadvertently proving Bernie’s point that they are not progressives on the key issues.
In the last week, Hillary and her surrogates have pivoted hard right and retreated to their long-held positions on the major issues. Indeed, in several cases they have gone even farther to the right than the policies they pushed over a decade ago – even though those policies proved disastrous. They also inadvertently demonstrated the terrible policies that were produced by the Clinton’s vaunted “pragmatism” and compromising with the most extreme Republican demands. That was the story of Clinton’s infamous welfare “reform” – a policy both Clintons championed. Tom Frank details in his new book entitled Listen, Liberal how the Clintons’ “pragmatism” and zeal to work with the worst elements of the Republican Party led to the welfare “reform” bill. Zach Carter has just written the article I was planning to write about that travesty. He entitled it “Nothing Bill Clinton Said To Defend His Welfare Reform Is True.” I encourage you to read it.
As a criminologist (I am also an adviser to Bernie on economics), I will begin my two-part series on Hillary’s race to the right with Bill Clinton’s effort to defend his drug law policies and Hillary’s denunciation of black drug users as “super predators.” The second column explains Krugman’s race to the right on banking in his effort to support Hillary’s harp pivot to right.
Bill’s defense of his policies that helped feed the mass incarceration of blacks and Latinos for drug offense came in the same April 7, 2016 campaign speech in Philadelphia that led to Zach Carter skewering his defense of welfare “reform.” Bill’s speech was strongly protested by Black Lives Matter members, which led to unscripted, angry attacks by Bill on some of the protesters and prompted his defense of his crime bill and Hillary’s attack on “superpredators.”
Bill made four key points about crime in his attempted defense and attacks on the protesters. First he claimed that his 1993 crime bill led to a huge decrease in crime. The reality is that street crimes were declining before his bill and the trend continued after the bill passed. (Elite financial crimes were surging due to the Clinton’s championing of the three “de’s” – deregulation, desupervision and de facto decriminalization of finance – but the Clintons and the authors creating and spreading the myth of the black and Latino “superpredators” ignored them.)
Second, Bill claimed that the bad parts of his crime bill were caused by Republican demands. Tom Frank’s book shows how the Clintons’ “pragmatism” and promises to work with the hard right led to him crafting a bill that produced the mass incarceration of Americans. This problem was compounded by his sentencing provision that punished crack cocaine users 100 times more severely (by weight) than powder cocaine users. When the bill was drafted it seems likely that the drafters did not know that crack cocaine was used overwhelmingly by blacks and Latinos and powder cocaine overwhelmingly by whites. A wide range of people eagerly created what social scientists call a “moral panic” about crack cocaine even though its effects were the same of powder. Bill’s crime bill achieved bipartisan support, including Bernie.
What Bill did not discuss, but what Tom Frank’s book emphasizes, is that the immense racial disparity in sentencing – and the lack of any basis for it given the chemical equivalency of crack and powder – became clear within a year after passage of the act. By 1995, the U.S. Sentencing Commission had gathered the data, conducted the analysis, and done all the drafting to repeal the disparity – and Bill and the Republican Congress promptly worked pragmatically and in a bipartisan manner to block the repeal of the racist sentencing disparity. After he left office, Bill repeatedly apologized for his Crime Act, but a few days ago in Philadelphia he reverted to praising his disastrous law. He is moving exceptionally hard right back to his natural instincts when he gets off script.
Third, Bill moved so far right that he resurrected a racist position Hillary had enunciated (and later repudiated). Hillary attacked blacks who used crack as “super predators.” That phrase was crafted as part of the effort to generate a moral panic in order to produce the mass incarceration of blacks. CNN reported on Hillary’s use of the term.
“They are often the kinds of kids that are called ‘super predators,'” Clinton said in a 1996 speech, when crime was a major public concern, according to polls at the time. “No conscience, no empathy, we can talk about why they ended up that way, but first we have to bring them to heel.”
Hillary was quoting phrases from three ultra-right authors that were Reagan officials. None of them was a criminologist, yet they claimed that overwhelmingly black “super predators” were growing at such epic rates that we should be so terrified by them that we would support a full scale “war” against black and Latino drug users. They did not simply coin the term “super predator” and stress that they were primarily black – they called them “feral.” That is the word used for a once tame animal that reverts to a wild animal. Black crack users were demonized as subhuman – wild animals whose ancestors had once been tame (as slaves) and who, as Hillary demanded, must be brought “to heel” like trained dogs.
None of this was true, but the racist lies succeeded in creating the moral panic that caused enormous damage to our Nation. Michelle Alexander’s book The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness is an excellent treatment of the shameful result.
Hillary eventually (in 2016) recanted her adoption of the racist “super predator” phrase and meme. Bill is disinterring it now because he got flustered and angered by the Black Lives Matter protesters and reverted in an unscripted fit to what came reflexively.
Fourth, Bill attacked the Black Lives Matter protesters in a way that was unworthy of him. Indeed, his attack on them came directly from his bizarre effort to support Hillary’s use of the term “super predator” months after she had repudiated that term. Bill invoked the same racist myths, using the same racist language that was employed over a decade ago even though they have been completely discredited by criminologists. CNN’s report of his Philadelphia speech notes:
He also defended Hillary Clinton’s use of the phrase “super predators.”
“I don’t know how you would characterize the gang leaders who got 13-year-old kids hopped up on crack, and sent them out in the streets to murder other African-American children,” the former president said. “Maybe you thought they were good citizens — she didn’t.”
(Bill also seems to be channeling the interrogation scene from the movie LA Confidential “Were you hopped up, Ray?)
Plainly, Black Lives Matter protesters never suggested that “good citizens” “murder” “children.” Bill’s claim that they did so shows how panicked he was by Bernie’s big win in Wisconsin. Bill’s story that “gang leaders … got 13-year old kids hopped up on crack, and sent them … to murder other African-American children” is a racist myth. Even the ultra-hard right authors that invented the term “super predator” and described black crack users as akin to animals abandoned the term and their claims over five years ago. Bill has gone far to the right of the ultra-right wing by disinterring these racist myths, claiming that they were and are accurate, and making the preposterous claim that Black Lives Matter protesters support those who murder black children.
How badly did Bill do on crime in his Philadelphia speech? I’ve just found a Wall Street Journal editorial that they have posted entitled “In Defense of Bill Clinton.” The WSJ’s editorial team praises the Clintons for “telling the truth” about the “super predators,” falsely asserts that the crime bill is what reduced crime, and applauds his claim that Black Lives Matter members seek to defend those who murder black children. Murdoch’s minions then instruct Democrats and Black Lives Matter “agitators” (another racist meme buried 30 years ago that the WSJ dug up for this editorial) on why they should be praising Bill’s disinterring the racist fiction of “gang leaders who got 13-year-olds hopped up on crack and sent them out onto the street to murder other African-American children.”
Progressives at the time were happy to go along with Mr. Clinton’s New Democratic policies when center-right positioning seemed essential to winning the White House. But now they’re too intimidated by Black Lives Matter to tell the truth.
The Black Lives Matter agitators should thank President Clinton, not excoriate him.
When Murdoch’s mouthpieces purport to “tell the truth” to blacks and progressives it’s a sure sign that they are lying. |

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. This week the theme is Top Ten Fandom Freebie.
This will be my last post for the next week or two, as I will be taking a hiatus for Spring Break. And what a fun topic to talk about before going on a break..FANDOMS!!! Narrowing it down to my Top Ten was quite a challenge, so I have a few runner-ups as well.
I love all of Studio Ghibli films, and have for years! For those who haven’t heard of Studio Ghibli, you will probably recognize at least one of the movies that they have made: My Neighbor Totoro, Princess Mononoke, Ponyo, The Secret World of Arietty, Spirited Away and Kiki’s Delivery Service. A majority of the films made by the studio are written and directed by Hayao Miyazaki.
I am most definitely still a Potterhead, ever since I read the first Harry Potter back in college, not too long after it was first published. I love the books and movies.
Okay, I’m cheating by combining Marvel and DC together, but I love them both! Although, Marvel definitely has a slight edge. My current favorites in the superhero universe are: Ms. Marvel comics, Wonder Woman (especially the upcoming movie!), Supergirl, Flash, Doctor Strange, Thor….okay let’s just say that I love them all (except for possibly Hulk).
There are times I feel like I live, breathe, and sleep Hamilton. The music is on in our home 24/7 some days, and it just gives me all the good feels when modern-day politics make me want to hurl. And with the recent release of a new batch of tickets, I am so excited that I will FINALLY be going to see it on Broadway!!!
Once Upon a Time
The last two seasons have really grated on my nerves, but I still have a soft spot for a show based around fairy tale retellings. If Lana Parilla (Evil Queen/Regina) ever leaves OUAT, though, I’m out.
“How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book.” ~Jane Austen, 1813
More than two centuries after the publication of her most well-known book, and she still inspires millions. Preach it, sister.
I have to admit to leaving this fandom during the dark years that were The Phantom Menace and Revenge of the Sith. Honestly, I still don’t particularly like any of the prequels. But I was won back, and then some, with The Force Awakens. And Rogue One was also pure amazingness. I’m still devastated that we lost Carrie Fisher last year.
This one is more of a flashback and paying homage to a past fandom that has fallen by the wayside since Lost wrapped up. I used to have so much fun thinking and hypothesizing about each and every episode! I still love when Lost characters pop up elsewhere, and I like tuning in to Hawaii Five-O occasionally just to get my Daniel Dae Kim and Jorge Garcia fix. When I first spotted Henry Ian Cusick on Scandal, I was SO thrilled, and equally disappointed when he left the show. Naveen Andrews will forever be my favorite, despite his underwhelming adventure that was Once Upon a Time in Wonderland.
Some of my favorite fanart I have ever seen is done by those in the Lunar Chronicles fandom!
What bibliophile doesn’t love Gilmore Girls? I still have the Rory Gilmore Reading Challenge tucked away that I chip away at every so often, and I have always loved the fast-talking duo, and all the pop culture references that get worked into the show.
There are three hugely popular fandoms that I am incredibly late to the game for, but slowly getting drawn in:
- Game of Thrones
- Doctor Who
I know, where have I been?
And a few other fandoms that just missed the cut:
- West Wing – I will always, always love West Wing. Now I’m regretting not putting it in the Top Ten!
- My Little Pony (I enjoy this one with my daughter)
- Hunger Games
- Lord of the Rings
- Percy Jackson |
According to numerous experts and recently-gathered data, most Reddit users have now gone from creating memes to getting interested in cryptocurrencies. It appears that the Reddit crypto forum called “r/Cryptocurrency” has become more popular than the “r/WallStreetBets” meme stocks forum. The latter was already incredibly popular. This is why being overshadowed by a crypto forum means a lot.
According to some analyses, the volume of posts on the Reddit crypto forum increased over 82% between May 1st and May 21st. Moreover, the daily posts surpassed 36,000 by the end of Bitcoin’s most unstable week. Meanwhile, the number of posts on the meme stocks forum decreased by 42%. So, it seems that Reddit crypto has become a thing, and here are more details on why this is so important.
The Reddit crypto interest and why it’s so important
From what we’ve gathered, there is a clear and definite reason why the posts on the Reddit crypto forum increased so much while the ones on the meme stocks one dropped. Apparently, the moderators of r/WallStreetBets prohibited all cryptocurrency-related discussions. Even if trading in meme stocks has not been that strong over the past few months, crypto developments keep on happening. This gets more and more people interested, as it should.
According to some experts, people no longer need a list of numbers to remain interested. They will get involved in a narrative and the crypto industry is providing exactly that. The recent announcement that Tesla INC will no longer accept Bitcoin due to environmental concerns sparked a narrative. The crypto crackdown in China did the same thing. This got people interested and retail investors were drawn to discussion forums.
This is extremely important for the future of cryptocurrencies as well as for the future of Reddit. Getting involved in this more and more popular industry means a lot for the company. If you asked anyone a while back whether or not Reddit could become an influential factor in the crypto industry, they would have probably answered: “definitely no”. Now, it seems that the situation has changed a lot and the Reddit crypto interest is stronger than ever.
Reddit users share their crypto knowledge
Reddit has also become a place where users can share their crypto knowledge and help others. For example, an instructional post by Reddit user u/teoeo has recently become viral. It lists a number of ten crucial factors that can help anyone find under-evaluated crypto coins that can possibly make you rich.
You can find the post along with its ten tips in the aforementioned link but this is just one that has gained a lot of popularity. There are many others on Reddit. This proves that people have turned to these forums for advice on the crypto industry. So, what we mentioned before is one hundred percent true. Reddit has adapted to fit the requirements and interests of most people today. This can be huge, especially in the context of an ever-changing industry. The Reddit crypto interest will probably not disappear anytime soon, which is a good thing.

Out A Lister Wentworth Miller has spoken about how the meme released with him a fuller figure was taken the “lowest point of his adult life” when he was considering suicide.
Actor Wentworth Miller has spoken about his disappointment on becoming an internet meme published by LadBible.
The meme, which has since been deleted, shows two pictures of Wentworth, one a promo picture from the hit television series Prison Break, the other, a paparazzi shot with him looking a little fuller figured.
Taking to his official Facebook page Wentworth said,
Today I found myself the subject of an Internet meme. Not for the first time.
This one, however, stands out from the rest.
In 2010, semi-retired from acting, I was keeping a low-profile for a number of reasons.
First and foremost, I was suicidal.
The original paparazzi picture was taken in 2010, when the actor said that he turned to food for comfort after “semi retirement”.
In 2010, at the lowest point in my adult life, I was looking everywhere for relief/comfort/distraction. And I turned to food. It could have been anything. Drugs. Alcohol. Sex. But eating became the one thing I could look forward to. Count on to get me through. There were stretches when the highlight of my week was a favorite meal and a new episode of TOP CHEF. Sometimes that was enough. Had to be.
And I put on weight. Big f–king deal.
The pictures were then sold on to magazines who labeled him “From Hunk to Chuck” and “Fit To Flab”.
This was at a time when the actor said he was “fighting for my mental health”.
Speaking about seeing the pictures pop up on social media, the Prison Break actor said,
The first time I saw this meme pop up in my social media feed, I have to admit, it hurt to breathe. But as with everything in life, I get to assign meaning. And the meaning I assign to this/my image is Strength. Healing. Forgiveness.
LadBible have since apologised for the posting saying,
“We want to say we’ve got this very, very wrong. Mental health is no joke or laughing matter,” it posted on Facebook.

Was Gully Boy Really A Winner? Unhappy Twitterati Trends Memes
Apart from Gully Boy, Ananya Panday was mocked for bagging the Best Debut Award.
Filmfare 2020 took place yesterday in Guwahati and was surely a starry affair. The who’s who of Bollywood stepped looking their best on the red carpet of the award show. Ranveer Singh, Alia Bhatt, Akshay Kumar, Varun Dhawan, Taapsee Pannu, Ananya Panday, Bhumi Pednekar, Ayushmann Khurrana and other added glamour to this starry night.
But it was Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt’s film that stole the limelight. The film bagged the maximum award at Filmfare 2020 and cleary became the ‘Parasite ‘ of Bollywood awards. The film bagged Best Film, Best Director (Zoya Akhtar), Best Actor (Ranveer Singh), Best Actress (Alia Bhatt), both Best Supporting Actor awards (Siddhant Chaturvedi, Amruta Subhash) last night.
While many thought that the film was a deserving winner, many Twitteratis were unhappy about Gully Boy’s win. As soon as the news about their win surfaced online, Twitter users started posting memes about the film. They took a massive dig at Ranveer and Alia’s film and even termed Filmfare awards as ‘SNUB FARE’
Apart from Gully Boy, Ananya Panday was mocked for bagging the Best Debut Award. Alia was also mocked for winning the Best Actress Award. One user shared a meme and wrote, “A 20-minute role which looked more like an extended cameo, the character adds nothing to the main storyline, displays very little acting skill.#Filmfare (while shamelessly giving her an award over other deserving actresses): #FilmfareAwards” |
So, probably not the most timely of posts. I’ve been fighting with my computer, my browser, and Blogger to get these photos uploaded. I have finally vanquished the computer gnomes that prevented this post.
I’ve officially been 29 for 12 days now, but I wanted to post about what I did on my birthday. I had a wonderful time, thanks in great part to some wonderful friends. I took the day off, to take advantage of the quirkiness of Ford’s holiday schedules and work my way into a 5 day weekend.
I had been having a hard time trying to schedule a get-together with friends. The timing was just off. Someone took it on themselves to organize a breakfast at the Northside Grill. I’m still not entirely sure who it was, but I am very grateful to that person or persons. I would have never thought about breakfast. The waitress brought out a brownie cake with candles for both me and Seth who shares my birthday. Brownies at breakfast. Who’da thunk?
The second plan of the day was to go hiking after Friday Forum. I had managed to convince Jonathan that he should come hiking, as it would probably be one of the last great days of the fall. Together we persuaded Amy to join us, and Amy brought Jin.
We drove out to Pinckney Rec, and it was a beautiful day! The leaves were still colorful and mostly still on the trees. The temperature was perfect for hiking! We set out on the Crooked Lake trail, a five mile hike. Amy and Jonathan weren’t on vacation like I was, so they walked part of the trail with me and then went back and did important things, while I did my best to wear out Jin.
Jin and I did fairly well together. I think he didn’t realize that there might be squirrels off trail. He did get a little impatient with me when I stopped to take pictures. Right towards the last half mile of the trail, Jin noticed something off trail. Unfortunately, we were at the top of a steepish hill, and the squirrel or woodland creature or whatever was at the bottom of that hill. It was a fun ride down.
The final part of the day was the Monster Ball. I had been intending to exercise my birthday right to not dress up on Halloween, but it came to me that I should go as Dr. Horrible. I posted the video a few posts back to get a few of my friends up to speed, because i knew many wouldn’t really know who I was.
I think I pulled it off fairly well. For an internet meme that not many people around these parts had heard of, I only had to explain myself a few times. My welding goggles and my freeze ray made it.
One of the events at the Monster Ball was a Mr. and Miss Monster Ball 2008 talent contest. The HSAC had invited a few people to participate, Mike and Brian notably. I was not in the original set of contestants. However, someone didn’t show, and I got asked at the last minute if I could do something so there was an even number of guys and ladies in the contest. Fortunately, I had my iPod in my car with the sound track for Dr. Horrible on it.
I quickly put together a lip sync to the Laundry Day / My Freeze Ray song. I convinced Amy to be the Penny to my Billy. She had seen the show, and knew what was going on. We ran through it once before the show, me listening to the iPod and narrating the actions as we went along. The lip sync went well and got a rousing round of applause.
Somehow, against Mike’s rendition (and real singing) “The Monster King” and Brian’s excellent song about vampires, the crowd gave its approval to my obviously lip-synced song and crowned me Mr. Monster 2008. Still no real idea how that happened.
Kara Stowers, dressed as Kimmy Gibler, was crowned Miss Monster Ball. It was a fantastic way to end the night. Thanks to all who shared a part of their day with me. I couldn’t have picked a better day |
Yesterday I was thrown off OF Facebook for a day because one of my Cheeto Sucking Facebook Friends on my Private Page reported me, yet again for posting something Anti Trump.
This time Facebook threw me off for a day and stripped me of my communication line to the rest of the world ( LOL- dudes I have THREE blogs).
Here’s the deal.
I was nailed for Hate Speech.
Did I call for the Death of Twitler? Post pictures of him hanging in effigy and pictures of him squatting in a hut- oh wait that was what REPUBLICANS did to President Obama because “Murica and Freedoms etc. etc. etc. and they could do HATEFUL, Racist stuff like that.
Nope. I most certainly DID NOT say or do anything like that.
Facebook in their infinite wisdom declared this ” Hate Speech. ”
Well. Sure. It was hateful. We all know that. We were pointing that out.
So when are they going to throw the man who uttered these HATEFUL words through the same mouth that agreed with Howard Stern who asked it was okay to refer to his daughter as a Piece of Ass “, off of Facebook?
Last time I looked he was threating WWIII on Twitter as well
Call me a stickler but I’m pretty darn sure he’s violated a few TOS along the way here.
So while Facebook checks into Twitler’s Hate Speech which has sucked all of the air out the known Universe and considers booting him off too-
A funny thing happened to me on the way to Facebookville.
I was kicked off of it for the day.
I posted a meme of Twitler’s quotes- one was where he called NFL Players who took to their knee ” Sons of Bitches ” and the other was in praise of the Neo Nazi’s in Charlottesville ” good people ” he called them.
The picture was of the Neo Nazi rioters and the NFL players who were kneeling.
It was a compare and contrast meme.
So my question isn’t who is the troll on my private wall- but when is Facebook going to ban Trump for ‘hate speech?’
One of the most powerful images to come from the hearts- and hands- of Americans who are not on board with a Trump Regime is this one:
The defiant lady in purple- or as she is called ” Resistance Auntie “
Her real name is Anita.
I took it as a sign.
As of late, I’m more inclined to say what I think because I am sick to death of patiently listening to people tell me, ” that’s nice Anita, but THIS is what WE need to take care of today ( this comes from my white Democratic friends who don’t want to deal with what they call ” identity politics “)
Here’s the deal.
We ARE going to deal with things like race in the Democratic party and race in the Progressive movement right now- not later because I am going to bring it up, wirte about it and Facebook book about every chance I get.
Because I said so.
I have smiled and indulged your excuses when you ‘white ‘splain ‘ Politics to me and I tried ( God knows I have tried ) to see things ‘ your way’ and guess what.
It did not work.
So go patronize a Chuck E Cheese or your favorite Coffee House.
There is work to be done because of that crazy man squatting in the White House. |

’90 Day Fiancé’: Jess Caroline Calls Debbie Johnson a ‘Devil in Disguise’
Colt and Larissa ended their tumultuous marriage after just six months. But each of them moved on to find new love. Larissa got together with her now-boyfriend, Eric Nichols, while Colt hooked up with Jess Caroline, a 26-year-old Brazilian au pair living in Chicago.
But Jess didn’t get along with the other important woman in Colt’s life: his mom and roommate, Debbie Johnson. The two women argued almost immediately when they met for the first time in Jess’ home country. Debbie and Jess both recently headed to Instagram to share their true feelings about each other.
Jess claimed that Debbie was a ‘devil in diguise’
On a recent episode of 90 Day Fiancé: Happily Ever After, Larissa called up Colt’s new girlfriend, Jess, to warn her about her past experiences with both Colt and his mom, Debbie. Larissa claimed that Debbie was a “wolf” and couldn’t be trusted.
While Jess didn’t want to believe Colt’s ex-wife at first, the 90 Day Fiancé star eventually admitted that she thought Larissa had told her the truth. Debbie seemed to want nothing more than to end Jess’ relationship with Colt, and the two women had a bitter confrontation at Debbie’s first dinner with Jess’ family.
Recently, Jess—who has since moved on with a new man and even become friends with Larissa—shared her true thoughts about Colt’s mom on her Instagram stories.
Jess posted a meme from @90daygossip that read, “The devil works hard, but Mother Debbie works harder.”
In a screenshot from the show under the caption, Debbie even said directly, “I will do everything in my power to sabotage his relationship.”
Posting Victor Costa’s “Devil in Disguise,” Jess argued that Colt’s overinvolved mom certainly fit the bill.
“I disrespected her right?” the 90 Day Fiancé star wrote sarcastically alongside the song. “Only I know what I went through in front and behind the cameras! She is the devil in disguise!”
Jess drove her point home with a snake emoji, which might have referenced Debbie’s allegedly sly and sneaky nature. Jess and Larissa have been trading similar emojis on each other’s posts on Instagram recently, with snakes, crocodiles, and frogs appearing to reference some inside joke about Colt and Debbie between the two of them.
Debbie and Jess have both called each other out recently on social media
This isn’t the first time that Jess and Debbie have posted about each other in recent weeks.
90 Day Fiancé blogger John Yates (at @johnyates327tv on Instagram) recently shared screenshots of both Jess and Debbie’s Instagram stories about one another.
In a lengthy statement, Jess argued that Debbie covered up for Colt’s “lies” and taught him that it was acceptable to “manipulate” and “cheat on” women. The 90 Day Fiancé star added that Debbie didn’t want Colt to end up with anyone at all, writing, “Watching the show yesterday, I see how people were playing nice in front of me but did everything they could to sabotage my relationship behind my back.”
But Mother Debbie didn’t stay quiet in the face of criticism. Colt’s mom appeared to reference Jess in a harsh Instagram story of her own, in which she cast Colt’s ex-girlfriend as the “villain” in a twisted fairy tale.
“There once was an evil villain,” Debbie wrote. “This red-headed vixen set her eyes on her prey. She tracked him down, knowing how vulnerable he was. Her sexuality was very powerful. Her eyes remained on the prize. Her dream could come true, but only if Mommy stepped aside. Will her dream come true, she asks herself, my visa, my visa, my K-1 visa.”
’90 Day Fiancé’ fans swarmed Jess’ posts to defend her against Colt and Debbie
Jess has attracted a number of devoted fans among 90 Day Fiancé viewers during her season. She recently celebrated earning 50,000 followers on Instagram, many of whom have reached out to her to let her know that she dodged a bullet by breaking things off with Colt.
“I adore you,” a 90 Day Fiancé fan wrote to Jess under one of her recent selfies. “I’m so happy you got away from Colt and his girlfriend Debbie.”
Another viewer argued that Colt and Debbie had an unhealthy relationship with each other and needed therapy to move on from their grief after the death of Colt’s father.
“I understand helping your mom, but he is a baby boy and he needs to…take ownership to his life,” the fan wrote on Jess’ Instagram post. “Both should go on therapy because Debbie won’t let him be happy with anyone, she emotionally replaced his husband with his son and that can’t be healthy!”
Another commenter agreed, writing that Jess was better off having moved on from Colt.
“You deserve so much better, especially his mom,” they wrote to Jess. “She doesn’t want Colt with anyone but her, so weird!” |
Just like you and me, the internet is completely in shock to find out that the little girl from The Haunting Of Bly Manor also voices Peppa Pig. If you've been watching the Netflix horror series based on Henry James' classic story The Turn Of The Screw, you already know little Flora has a tendency to be spooky, creepy, and (sorry Flora) just all around terrifying sometimes. But also her voice was sounding pretty familiar to some eagle-eyed watchers for good reason.
Amelia Bea Smith, the super talented 9-year-old actress who plays Flora on the massively popular The Haunting Of Bly Manor, has also been voicing Peppa Pig for quite some time now. She took over the role in February from 18-year-old Harley Bird, who had been voicing the sassy little piglet since she was just 5 years old, as per The Evening Standard.
Several people took to Twitter to wonder whether or not spooky little Flora, with her sing-song voice and perfect diction, could possibly be Peppa Pig herself. One social media user tweeted on Monday, "why does flora from haunting of bly house sound like peppa pig?"
And on Monday Netflix confirmed the news on Twitter: "Amelie Bea Smith from The Haunting of Bly Manor is also the voice of Peppa Pig! Pass it on."
Obviously this news was enough to set Twitter ablaze with people trying to wrap their heads around the bizarre crossover. It was pretty satisfying for some people who had been struggling to figure out where they recognized Flora's voice from during The Haunting Of Bly Manor. Mystery solved.
One social media user had some "perfectly splendid" fun with the news, changing The Haunting Of Bly Manor to The Haunting Of Peppa Pig.
Another social media user pointed out that 9-year-old Bea Smith is really going for it with her career at a young age, writing "LOVE that Haunting of Bly Manor's Flora also voices Peppa Pig. You go Amelie Bea Smith! Diversify that portfolio early."
When the official Twitter page for The Haunting Of Bly Manor tweeted "can ghosts whistle?," social media users were quick to pick up on the call back to the 2018 meme of Peppa Pig hanging up on Suzie Sheep because she could whistle while Peppa still could not.
Someone else wrote that they would love a little crossover moment by hearing Peppa say Flora's favorite saying, "perfectly splendid."
I think we can all agree that Amelia Bea Smith has some serious acting range.
And that new Peppa Pig episodes might take on a spooky meaning to fans of The Haunting Of Bly Manor from this point forward. |
Meet your 2021 Youth Ambassadors
Our heads are full, our hearts are open and we are jumping in this summer loaded with enthusiasm! What an honor to be part of the 10th cohort of the Parks Canada Youth Ambassadors program and to join this collective of youth whose main goal is to experience and share our common nature, culture and treasures.
Creation, sharing and inspiration will be our ambitions this summer. Despite the mountains, lakes and forests that separate us, the feeling of closeness that brings us together could not be stronger. Join us so that together we can discover, meet and explore.
Mahnoor, Catherine and Fawn,
2021/22 Youth Ambassadors
My name is Catherine, I am 18 years old, I am from Lorraine in Quebec and I am one of the youngest in the history of the youth ambassadors! However, my age does not mean inexperience, on the contrary. I have seen a lot of our country and that is why I am excited to share my stories with you and create new ones.
I am currently completing a bachelor's degree in marketing at the University of Ottawa, where I get involved in campus life by organizing entrepreneurial events and creating social enterprises. When I have free time, I enjoy taking photos, reading, playing the piano and skiing!
Interesting fact: I've never been on a plane in my life! But, when I was 11, my parents decided to leave Quebec to travel across Canada with a camper to live for a year in Revelstoke, British Columbia. This is really where I started to understand how lucky we were to have so many beautiful landscapes in Canada and how important it was to conserve them (and since then I have had a huge crush on Parka)! I love discovering our country and sharing my knowledge: being a Parks Canada Youth ambassador suits my curious nature perfectly!
Hope to see you this summer, somewhere in Canada ... or at home on my screen, crossing my fingers to be able to travel soon!
My name is Fawn (yes, like a baby deer). I am currently studying Social Sciences at the University of Ottawa, with hopes to major in Political Science and minor in Gender Studies or Cultural Anthropology. When I am not writing, or grumbling about politics, I am either getting lost in the woods, looking up a new recipe to try out for dinner, or trying to keep up with the latest meme culture.
Before I leave this beautiful planet, I hope to see the natural beauty Canada’s provinces and territories have to offer. I have the territories, Saskatchewan and Manitoba left on my list with goals of seeing the Northern Lights in a post-COVID future. I might be bias because I am from Nova Scotia and have family there, but Cape Breton Island is still my number one destination in Canada. Thus far, that is.
Now that the ice is broken, let’s get a little more personal. Beyond my name, nature is a part of who I am. The physical, the mental, and the spiritual benefits nature has offered me has fuelled my passion to work within the outdoor sector to promote these advantages to others. After a few years of working in the sector, however, I realized that there is a need for more tangible inclusion and diversity work within such spaces in Canada. Having the opportunity to be a youth ambassador for Parks Canada is a dream come true for me. With this privilege, I hope to use this opportunity to amplify the voices and visibility of youth who are ready to be heard and seen!
I am ecstatic to absorb more knowledge about Canada’s history through Parks and answer a lifelong question: What makes Canadians feel Canadian? I anticipate a lot of listening and reflection throughout my time as a Parks Canada Youth Ambassador. With all that said, I will be sure to let you know what I find!
Until then, Canada.
My name is Mahnoor and I am back for the third year working as a student with Parks Canada! I am currently a student at Ryerson University and am going into my 4th year of the Public Health and Safety program this upcoming fall. With the big turn of events in the last year or so, it has been a very interesting virtual experience! Although I study right in between the busy city hustle, I live with my family in the quiet suburbs of Pickering, Ontario. My love for the outdoors began on the salty beaches and warm weather picnics as a kid when my family was previously living in Jacksonville, Florida before moving to Canada in 2007. Within the next few years, I am hoping to take my knowledge in public health and make connections between human health and the environment. In my free time I love to kayak along the Rouge River and have movie nights with my family.
The opportunity to be this year’s Parks Canada Youth Ambassador is a privilege. I am hoping to reach out to thousands of youth across Canada and share my experiences, all while trying to shatter any barriers between people and green spaces. It is important to me that I take all the opportunities I get and make the most of them. These moments are most valuable when they can be shared with others. This year, I am thrilled to be sharing them with all of you! |

They have a wispy, delicate form and colourful, lantern-shaped flowers. For gardeners who prefer plants with a more dense habit, new compact varieties are also available. Another popular abutilon is Abutilon megapotamicum, which is a prostrate or ground covering species with small orange flowers.
Abutilon are evergreen shrubs with attractive maple-like leaves and an open, pendulous habit. They grow to about 2-3 metres tall. Flowers in the Southern Hemisphere are produced in September to December, but they spot flower at other times. Flower colours include white, pink, red, yellow, orange and salmon.
These plants grow well in most parts of Australia, except for the very cold mountain zones. In inland areas be sure to water well and keep protected with mulch. In hot inland climates abutilons appreciate some light shade.
Join me for Floral Friday Fotos by linking your flower photos below, and please leave a comment once you have done so.

Welcome to our digital marketing round-up
Here at Kurtosys we fall down the digital rabbit hole so you don’t have to. We’ve pulled out some of the best reports, eBooks and articles from the digital sphere, ready for you to use for effective fund marketing.
This week’s round-up brings you more international industry news, fine art, Snoop Dogg, tech trends and the Wombles. If you’re not feeling Christmassy yet, please click that link – it is finally December after all!
I’ve found that the word ‘nascent’ pops up a lot within the financial industry. Yet even existing companies, software, startups, and countries as a whole all strive to reach a greater potential in the ever-changing FinServ sector. Professionals from Deutsche Bank give their responses to the results of a survey on 200 marketing participants. They discuss regulatory changes, technological disruption and the impact of blockchain (predicted to be used actively in as early as 3 years’ time!), the need for Fort Knox-style cybersecurity to protect companies and their portfolios from hackers and rapidly emerging markets in India, Africa, Brazil and South Asia. The financial industry needs to adapt its strategic thinking and planning, and these survey findings (with colourful infographics) show why.
The Next Web: 7 beautifully designed examples of fine art in fintech
If Rembrandt was still kicking, I’m sure he’d appreciate the look of a well-designed website or mobile app. To any consumer, it’s all about the aesthetic and Cecil Kleine has thankfully collated a list of the most beautifully artistic models available to fintech followers. Just as the most memorable brands in B2C are characterised by eye-popping visuals (logos, posters, television adverts), branding is equally important in B2B for maximum UX. In keeping with traditional artistic merit and critique (shout-out to Terry Eagleton), technological design is the new ‘fine art’ for the modern age. Surfing the financial wave of the web should be like browsing the Tate Modern from the comfort of your armchair, and thank goodness for that; during one visit to the gallery I saw an old-school telephone with a lobster as the hand-held component. Thanks for the originality Salvador, but that one doesn’t quite do it for me.
The New York Times: How Economic Gobbledygook Divides Us
Aaah, the irony of an article about over-complication using the terms “esoteric” and “obfuscation”… but John Lanchester does convey the point that financial writing is dominated by meaningless bunkum. Fintech is a hard thing to simplify (‘money, cash, robots’ doesn’t quite cut it, does it?), but widening a divide between the in-crowd and the outliers makes pivotal economic concerns far less engaging for readers. As the author notes, elitist slang such as “churn” exemplifies the interesting point that, particularly in the UK following Brexit, “people […] have had enough of experts”. He also cites the Trump presidential campaign as successful due to the use of colloquial language. Similarly, I can’t use slang like ‘sfe’, ‘dunnoe’ or ‘peak’ here without leaving a reader dumbfounded and thinking: ‘that pesky millennial’. This article gives a convincing case for eliminating jargon in writing to achieve an appropriate Flesch-Kincaid level. I also went ahead and discovered that this post’s level is 10.8. ‘Skeen’.
There are countless ways for marketers to go about automating email. Using a successful example (a partnership between Gauge and Old Time Candy), MailChimp has hereby given some expert advice on treating email automation like a science experiment. You don’t need to know your Xenon from your Argon, or anything about ‘moles’ (no, not the animals): just a simple hypothesis -> method -> data -> results structure to work out the success of your marketing strategy. Keeping the customers happy and informed of all your products, features or packages, as well as maintaining customer surveys, contributes to a solid campaign. BUT, do not flood the inbox of your consumers. You’d just appear like the annoying Ned Ryerson in Groundhog Day, and no one wants that. This article puts their ideas into practice with its appropriate use of candy-based puns too.
The umbrella term ‘tech’ agglomerates various (and strange) elements. You’ll see what I mean. This article from James A. Martin attempts to predict 2017’s technological focuses. We’ve talked about AI a lot this year, and now it’s time for its increased speculation to be put to the test, to be brought into reality, along with augmented reality, and then virtual reality, chat bots, robots, cybersecurity measures… The list goes on, as you can see in this informative and entertaining article. But Silicon Valley is certainly excited for the future, as are we. This article also brings up pot, with a hefty number of cannabis-related articles racking up in recent weeks. Its increased legalisation stateside has presented new opportunities for the worlds of technology and marketing, bringing the underground overground. At this time of year especially, that brings to mind the Wombles, who are Christmassy but also quite a trippy concept actually. I digress, but we may see weed advocate Snoop Dogg have an increased presence within these sectors, which is surely a good thing, right?
Fintech Ranking: FinTech in China: A 53-Point Summary
China’s rich history is full of innovative thinking. As is common knowledge, such inventions as gunpowder, the compass, the umbrella and the paper press all originate from ‘The Red Dragon’, and now its dominance in the fintech market is becoming extremely apparent. Gaurav Sharma dubs China “the FinTech version of Silicon Valley”, with 53 different points to explain why. There are some awe-inspiring facts included here, doing more than stressing the huge influence that China and its BAT “Internet giants” (Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent) have on the tech world in a financial sense. That being said, all of this grandiose information is simply summarised and complimented with relevant charts, graphs and screen-grabs.
In this China-centric Roundup special, here’s some breaking news on the ‘London-Shanghai Stock Connect’: an agreement between China and the UK to share information between each country’s fintech companies regarding emerging trends, regulatory issues and more. Currently, in terms of financial “volume per inhabitant”, these ranked 2nd and 3rd in the world behind the United States, but this international collaboration spells great news for the harmony of worldwide fintech, despite its palpable element of competition. Be sure to check back with Crowd Valley for further information on this agreement as it develops!
Sweden never fails to be innovative across many different industries: Ikea’s idiosyncratic furniture (I do love a flat-pack, and this is not sarcasm), internationally successful musicians such as the inimitable ABBA, garage-rockers The Hives or living meme Yung Lean, and now the financial sector. As Hazel Sheffield reports, Sweden’s amount of cash has reduced by 40% since ’09, which is unsurprising as many places such as bars, restaurants, and even forms of public transport, refuse to accept krona notes. This article wonders if the UK, with our extremely popular use of contactless card-based transactions, will go down the same digital path. Mainly, the answer is ‘not yet’ with the fresh, plasticky fiver now in circulation. But, considering the controversial ‘animal fat’ news recently, could it be the end of cash as we know it, and sooner than we think? We’ll see what happens in Sweden, and hopefully the UK can follow suit in other areas by finding its very own Yung Lean…
Still in Europe: some fintech news from Israel. Bank Leumi is hoping its mobile-only platform Pepper will appeal to millennials, after teaming up with Playbuzz to gamify the mobile banking app. It is often documented that millennials have a burning desire for instant gratification, a craving that gamification fulfills by boosting UX to the max. Apparently there’s more of a burning desire for banking than love – only 6% of 20,000 16 to 25 years olds surveyed use Tinder (now that is a revelation!) – and this Reevo and Good Rebels survey also notes how savvy these millennials are with their personal finances. With it finally cemented here that current accounts are more popular than dating, fintech must now be the sexiest industry that its experts claim it to be. A strange note to end on, but importantly this article from Finextra highlights the increased engagement between financial services and its customers through the use of innovative technology. Result.

A Chilliwack business is doing everything it can to prevent Chilliwack’s hog farmers from going bankrupt.
Johnston’s custom meat cutters has been working ferociously at boosting the market for B.C. pork.
For four straight years, Johnston’s has been highly visible at trade shows and charity events, it’s sponsored several barbecue competitions, and has worked with B.C. chefs to get the best from its product. Heck, it even pushed out bacon-loving T-shirts with the meme ‘Bacon is a vegetable’ that were first made as an in-house joke, but quickly turned viral, resulting in five more shirts made for retail.
All to boost B.C. pork’s value.
“We’re trying to educate people about us, about the industry, about B.C. pork, right down to how to cook it,” said Bonnie Windsor, Johnston’s assistant plant manager.
“We’re trying to bring value to B.C. pork. We’re trying to show people that B.C. pork is an awesome product, a lean product, a healthy product, a versatile product, you can do so much with pork.”
The recent push came after Johnston’s started seeing its local farmers struggling; some shutting down operations altogether. Six years ago, the custom meat cutters had 26 producers, now it has 17.
“They were going broke,” said Windsor. “Pig prices have been in the tank, hog farmers were losing upwards of $100 a hog, and consumers haven’t necessarily been willing to pay fair prices for pork.”
Local farmers have struggled to shake the “cheap meat” label that’s plagued the hog industry for years.
“As a Canadian, it really bothers me that our hog farmers, especially in this province, the very people who grow our food are forced to go to a food bank to feed their families,” said Windsor. “It is so unfair to our local farmers. It costs just as much, if not more to raise a hog as it does beef.
“My goal is to take pork off of sale. I’m trying to increase prices so we keep our farmers in business.”
When Johnston’s was approached by BC Pork four years ago to help market the industry, it had no clue how to go about doing so.
“Until four years ago, we had never advertised in the history of our company, and we didn’t need to; our product grew by word of mouth,” said Windsor.
Still, the company has had a long history supporting small, family owned, Fraser Valley farms. It didn’t take convincing for Johnston’s to jump on board.
Johnston’s was founded in 1937 by Chilliwack native Carmen Johnston. A small operation located in a barn on Young Road, it employed one full-time and one part-time employee, and offered custom slaughtering services to local farmers.
Now, more than 75 years later, it’s located on Promontory, employs and supports over 120 families in the Fraser Valley, and is still owned by a member of the original Johnston family.
Don Ball, Carmen Johnston’s nephew, started working at the shop in his teens; in 1968, he purchased it. His son, Mat Ball, is now being groomed to take over.
Every day, 10 Johnston’s trucks go into the Lower Mainland delivering B.C. product; two loads a week to the Okanagan; two loads to Vancouver Island; and one to two loads up North.
Typically, the hogs are transported to the abattoir Sunday night, processed Monday morning, chilled overnight, then broken down first thing Tuesday morning, and loaded onto the various trucks by 10 a.m.
“It’s in the butcher’s showcase by the afternoon – it’s that fresh,” said Windsor.
“We’ve grown simply by putting out quality product and word of mouth.”
Johnston’s has had its issues over the years.
It used to have a bad reputation as a rough place to work with “every drug dealer, jail bird, criminal,” working the floor. There wasn’t a day that went by where two guys weren’t scrapping or pulling knives on each other, said Windsor.
When she set out to clean house she was repeatedly told she wouldn’t be able to do it, that that was the nature of abattoirs. But Windsor, never one to back down from a challenge, set out to prove the naysayers wrong.
Now, 15 years later, it’s a place to be proud to work for, said Windsor.
“I am so proud of my staff. We have the most awesome staff on the planet. Seriously, it’s an awesome culture,” she said.
The company has never had a layoff, not even in tough times. And when a member of the “family” is in need, everyone steps up in support.
That culture, said Windsor, is reflected in the quality of product going out.
One of the biggest challenges Johnston’s, and subsequently B.C. hog farmers, face is competing with the commodity market.
Because farmland and resources is more expensive in B.C., the number of hogs being farmed is limited compared to that of the prairie provinces or South Carolina where “there’s more hogs than people.”
For years, Johnston’s operated at 80 per cent commodity, 20 per cent niche; it couldn’t compete.
“We were having to sell product for less than cost just to get rid of it,” said Windsor, who in the last four years has helped flip those numbers.
“We’re not Maple Leaf. We’ve never been Maple Leaf. We don’t want to be Maple Leaf. We don’t want to grow to be this huge company. We want to remain a family size with our great little staff up on the hill pumping out awesome product.”
B.C. hogs are typically grown 20 kilograms smaller than anywhere else in Canada or the U.S. It’s a leaner meat that’s not being travelled hundreds of miles. And with Johnston’s, it’s not being pumped full of saline or other such preservatives either, adding to the overall priced weight.
“We don’t want to ever turn into commodity; we want to stay in the quality game,” said Windsor.
That means that even though Johnston’s will always be limited by the number of hogs B.C. produces, it can continue to evolve in other ways such as producing different forms of bacon, hams, sausages and other such cured meats.
“If you tried our bacon, you would never back, I swear to you,” said Windsor.
To find Johnston’s meats, as well as other B.C. meats, visit the new BC Meats app called Know Your Meats, which lists every store and restaurant B.C. meats can be found in the province. |
Pinterest advertising can be a great way to gain exposure for your business. But it isn’t as simple as just setting up a few boards. In this blog we review a few oft-overlooked tips and tricks.
Sometimes Pinterest, like life, can be hard. You’ve tried everything you can think of, but you just aren’t getting this whole Pinterest advertising thing. We know how ya feel. Following are a few unique tips for advertising on Pinterest.
1. These Pins Were Made for Walkin’
And that’s just what they’ll do. Available to both Android and iPhone users, the Pinterest mobile app lets you take your pinning activities to the streets You can even pin from your mobile camera. The big focus here is really more of a mindset change. You have to realize that managing social media isn’t a one or even two hour a day thing. It’s a full time commitment, especially when it comes to Pinterest advertising. The mobile app ensures that you never miss a bit, pinning and re-pinning to your heart’s content.
2. What Happens on Pinterest Shouldn’t Stay on Pinterest
Don’t be afraid to link your Pinterest website with other social media platforms. Seems kinda obvious, but it’s not as simple as just having tailored content for each website. You should actively promote new lines and contests across multiples social media platforms. For instance, say you’re coming out with a brand-new product. A colorful line of dresses or a high-tech gadget. Keep the wordy stuff to Facebook, short appeals to Twitter, and flashy promo images to Pinterest. This is also a great way to spread followers from one platform to another.
3. Don’t Get Pin-Happy
Although re-pinning interesting content from your pin-fellows is fun, don’t overdo it. Although we have previously mentioned that effectively advertising on Pinterest requires user-friendly content, you also have to avoid losing track of your brand. Find the ground between self-promotion and friendly neighborhood meme store.
4. A Picture is Worth 1,000 Words
That’s how the saying goes right? Take that advice to heart! Especially when you’re on Pinterest. Every time you come out with web content that doesn’t have an image, you miss a chance to stick it on Pinterest, losing potential followers. And don’t just slap on any ol’ image. Find something striking, emotional, beautiful- something people will actually want to repin. Steer clear of stock images with ugly white space.
So there you have it. A few advertising on Pinterest ideas that you might not have heard before. With a little bit of work and some creative thinking, you’ll be pinning like a pro in no time!

Too Big to Fail code hosting is a lie
Free software or proprietary on the backend, between Google Code and Gitorious both shutting down, your code hosting monolith is not Too Big To Fail (even if run by a mega-corporation like Google!).Show all 16 replies
Problem is, not everyone can host everything on their own server. I looked at Gogs, and the resources it need (if you need to use any team functionality) require a middle to high end VPS.
So, if you need to run 2-3 self-hosted services (Let's say, your own Gogs, MediaGoblin, Pump/Diaspora) it becomes very expensive to maintain. Though, I do agree with the points mentioned, but sometimes it's better (easier, cheaper, more reliabled) to go for a paid service then self-host.

Federation doesn't mean every single person has to run their own instance of every single federated app, you and some friends can run one or you can use public services. If it's not federated there can only be huge monoliths if things remain practical.Admittely, it is failing in a way that gives plenty of time to migrate elsewhere, which smaller players could not be able to do.
On the other hand, self hosting is just better, and self, federated, hosting is even better.
(btw, the people at friendica are also looking into it:https://kirgroup.com/projects/fabrixxm/friendica-projects )
Um, Davdroid, if you go to Gitorious.org the big banner tells everyone to go to GitLab, so yeah, people know. And it's a good option, better than GitHub arguably for those who care about freedom. If GitHub goes in some direction you don't like, you can't fork it, it's non-free.
Community run code hosting
So as most of you know gitorious is being acquired by a GitLab and therefore will be shut down. The idea was brought up of possibly having a community run code hosting with issue tracker that will pool money, resources, time and experties to run and maintain a code hosting solution.
Maybe we could get a Mailing list and/or an IRC channel where we can figure out this and get a start. Anyone would be interested in using this and helping in some way or another we can discuss it on this thread until we decide where else to go.
The questions we really need to figure out are:
- Is there enough interest to make this worth while?
- What software should we use?
- Where should we continue to disucss this (I think I'd prefer a Mailing list for this)?
I would obviously want to use this for my own personal projects and possibly Inboxen (would have to speak to moggers first). GNU Mediagoblin would obviously want to use it too.Show all 23 replies
Gitlab uses Github to host their code now whilst that's "dumb" I wouldn't say it's a deal breaker per se however, there is an issue suggesting they use Gitlab to host their code, it says:
"The primary goal is private hosting service. So it's not the best choice for an open source project."
Might want to take that into consideration also when weighing up the options, if they don't intend it to be publically accessable and for Free software maybe in the future they'll make decisions which reflect that, or maybe they have already.I'm definitely pushing for org-local hosting via cgit and git-http-backend. I don't have much need for the other pieces... Review for me is best over email, etc. I'm hoping this will cause more distribution.
I very strongly dislike the Gitlab situation. Their copyright assignment does not guarantee that contributed features remain free. To me, that is completely unacceptable.
Outreach Program to Join Conservancy from GNOME; Program Renames to Outreachy

Outreach Program to Join Conservancy from GNOME; Program Renames to Outreachy
Software Freedom Conservancy and the GNOME Foundation together announce that the Free and Open Source Software Outreach Program is moving from GNOME to Conservancy. As Karen Sandler, Executive Director of Conservancy and co-organizer of the Outreach Program, announced in her keynote at FOSDEM this weekend, the program will be rebranding as part of the transition under the new name "Outreachy".
Outreachy helps people from groups underrepresented in free and open source software get involved by providing a supportive community for newcomers to contribute to throughout the year, and by offering focused internship opportunities twice a year with many free software organizations. To date, the program has had 214 interns with 35 different free software organizations, including the Linux Kernel, Wikimedia, GNOME, Mozilla, Twisted (a Conservancy member project), and OpenStack. Marina Zhurakhinskaya, Community Engagement Lead at Red Hat and co-organizer of the program said, "It's amazing that the program we started four years ago with eight GNOME interns has grown to enable hundreds of women become established free software contributors across a broad spectrum of projects. I vividly remember the call in which Karen proposed the idea of inviting other organizations to participate, and I'm excited to continue working closely with her in growing the reach of the program."
The GNOME Foundation, previous nonprofit home of the program, remains a core partner of Outreachy, providing infrastructure support. "The GNOME board is unified in its enthusiasm for Outreach to join Conservancy," said Jean-François Fortin Tam, President of the GNOME Foundation. "We're proud to have launched the program and seen it grow beyond our wildest expectations. We look forward to remaining a partner, supporting and participating in the program in its new home as it continues to grow."
Over the next few months, Outreachy will complete its transition to Conservancy, the non-profit home of over 30 free and open source software projects. "Outreachy is a natural fit for Conservancy," said Sandler. "Conservancy is organized to support many free software projects — and to promote software freedom in general. This program has become an essential way for free software projects to improve their communities. I am honored to keep working with Marina, Sarah Sharp and all of the other volunteers who keep Outreachy going."
The next round of Outreachy internships will have an application deadline on March 24, 2015, and internship dates from May 25 to August 25. Coding, design, documentation and other projects will be available. Applicants will be asked to select a project with one of the participating organizations and collaborate with a mentor listed for that project to make a relevant contribution to the project during the application process. Accepted participants will work remotely, while being guided by their mentor, and will receive a $5,500 stipend.
Outreachy is the successor of the Outreach Program for Women (OPW). OPW was inspired by Google Summer of Code and by how few women applied for it. The GNOME Foundation first started OPW with one round in 2006, and then resumed the effort in 2010 with rounds organized twice a year. In the May 2012 round, Software Freedom Conservancy joined OPW with one internship with the Twisted project. In the January 2013 round, many other free and open source organizations joined the program. For the May 2015 round, the program was renamed to Outreachy with the goal of expanding to engage people from various underrepresented groups and is transitioning to Conservancy as its organizational home.
This program is a welcoming link that connects talented and passionate newcomers with people working in free and open source software and guides them through their first contribution. Through Outreachy, participants learn how exciting and valuable work on software freedom can be, while helping us to build a more inclusive community. The organizational partners of the program are the GNOME Foundation, Red Hat and Software Freedom Conservancy.
About the GNOME Foundation
GNOME was started in 1997 by two then-university students, Miguel de Icaza and Federico Mena Quintero. Their aim: to produce a free (as in freedom) desktop environment. Since then, GNOME has grown into a hugely successful enterprise. Used by millions of people around the world, it is one of the most popular environments for GNU/Linux and UNIX-type operating systems. GNOME's software has been utilized in successful, large-scale enterprise and public deployments.
The GNOME community is made up of hundreds of contributors from all over the world, many of whom are volunteers. This community is supported by the GNOME Foundation, an independent non-profit organization that provides financial, organizational and legal assistance. The Foundation is a democratic institution that is directed by its members, who are all active GNOME contributors. GNOME and its Foundation work to promote software freedom through the creation of innovative, accessible, and beautiful user experiences.

- I recently got invited to some team's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slack_(software) account, some kind of team messaging proprietary and very recent thing, which nonetheless has tons of customers. Even ignoring freedom, I can't see the value (doesn't even seem to have replies, just a wall of noise), and don't want to invest time in finding value (because freedom). But it is huge. And others like Yammer are huger, $Billions huge IIRC.
Sort of related to a comment made by @cwebber https://identi.ca/cwebber/comment/gqbrBRbvTVK47cuXR6nxMw about how for a time StatusNet was able to pay some people to work full time on the software. IIUC that's because it was making a play for enterprise messaging. IMO that was a very solid bet, and kudos to Evan for making it.
I have to admit, "the federation" meme turns me off, though perhaps that's because I hate memes. Go federation, but I don't give it much chance. If Facebook or Twitter stumbles, some other silo with lots of capital will pick up the slack.
I home that someone else, or Evan again (but he seems to be doing fuzzy.io now) makes another play at creating a huge entity that happens to work on free and federated software. I wonder if enterprise, or at least team, messaging is evergreen for the right play. Could federation, with the right privacy/sharing nudges be one compelling feature for some organizations' messaging needs?Show all 35 replies@bkuhn I suspect you overestimate the centrality of StatusNet (which at the point you must be thinking of, was almost just identi.ca) among FLOSS developers (well, maybe the ones you talk to, but that's a subset) and generally the impact even all FLOSS developers each "standing alone" can make. AFAICT you predict a dark ages and want to hunker down, hopefully encouraging a few more developers to also hunker down, standing alone, and have a fantasy that if that happens, the proprietary world will somehow self-destruct (eg patent war). That's a recipe for permanent dark ages. I also predict some form of dark ages but am uninterested in hunkering down. I think it is at least possible to increase policy and market demand for software freedom, and that's what the main activity of software freedom advocates ought to be. Of course that isn't a developer-centric activity, and I see that is a good thing: away with fetishizing both developer choice and their enabling lawyers!
Christopher Allan Webber likes this.Team messaging solutions are exactly the kind of area where free software and federation should be able to get a foothold.
The most important network is the team and you can simply choose for the team to use the same tool. The federation part then becomes a bonus.
Back in 2008 I was perplexed that Yammer got any attention at all, when there was already StatusNet that could do the same things and more. What did they do right? Massive VC-backed marketing?
These days when everyone is becoming aware of control of data and the potential risks of cloud hosting, why aren't more corporations interested in products you can easily host yourself and even host internally? And why do so many of those that do have that interest go to SharePoint?@clacke well put, exactly half of why I posted above note (other half various hand-wringing I suppose). Yammer probably had more capital and a sales team and enterprisey integrations enabled by that, as I imagine does Slack. But plausible evergreen state of enterprise market a reason this isn't just kvetching.

“The two examples you cite are probably targetted correctly. The 18-25 group probably isn't buying many new cars. I don't know what sort of insurance Salt-N-Pepa is selling, but that also sounds like something old people think about. ;)”

- You're certainly not alone in thinking along these lines. I have no recollection of feeling that my attempts at lying didn't work, possibly because since early childhood I've been an incurable truth-teller. After getting into the Free Software movement and trying to understand politics, I started feeling that this inability to lie is both a blessing and a handicap. I share your feeling that it puts us at some disadvantage, very much like the unfair battles between good and evil in fiction, to some extent mirrored in ethical or legal restraints on what e.g. cops and judges are allowed to do, vs the “anything goes” that some criminals take. It still feels right, and I hope enough people value the honesty of playing within the boundaries of ethics that what could amount purely to a handicap ends up also being perceived favorably. Besides, it makes the challenge of defeating an opponent that might resort to anything, while we refuse to use certain unethical weapons, a lot more interesting ;-)

Bluffing in poker is a tactical decision that has nothing to do with honesty. It's like a feint in basketball or soccer. Those aren't dishonest in the least. Yeah, you could have that flush, or you could have gone left, but you didn't.
One thing that I've realized teaching, and it's perhaps relatively evident because I teach JHS and SHS students, is that what someone says may have nothing to do with what's true. That's so obvious to many teachers such as myself and my coworkers that we generally don't even bother making a judgment on whether any given statement is true. The interesting thing is that once you adopt this behavior, even if you learn it teaching children, you tend to apply it to everyone. You could call it cynical, but I don't feel cynical. I'm not bitter about it. I feel like I'm treating people like they're ... people ... who cover up embarrassment and other badness through misleading words, either intentionally or not. Generally speaking I don't mind, as long as the statements in question are of a personal variety. To the extent our leaders are deceptive on group issues, group effectiveness is destroyed.
One interesting thing in the environmental movement is the typical anti-environmentalist argument structure. Suppose we're talking about global warming. OK, these days it's called climate change. Whichever you prefer. Some representative of an oil company will say you're wrong about global warming, and the order in which the argument proceeds is almost always the same!
1. Global warming doesn't exist.
2. [You show evidence.] OK, maybe it does exist, but it's not as bad as you think.
3. [You show evidence.] OK, maybe it is as bad as you think, but we didn't cause it.
4. [You show evidence.] OK, maybe we caused it, but it's necessary.
The cool thing, which can also be irritating as hell, is that this exact same progression happens on dozens or hundreds of issues. And if you're looking for it, you can see which stage you're at. Unfortunately, oil companies are savvy, so they'll intentionally make the arguments convoluted. Over time, with enough tangents, that gives them an opportunity to come back to point 1 again. The bullet is dodged, the argument is reset, and life goes on.
I found this comment very intriguing, and I agree with you about that pattern (your climate change example).
The fundamental problem there is the mistake of answering political arguments with factual arguments. The company answers each time with a political argument, and the presentation of evidence is factual.
As a computer scientist turned politician, I actually only recently realized how very little the facts matter in any policy debate or discussion. How people feel matters much more.
To the extent that I'm really bad at politics is that I can't abide by misleading people on the facts, even for some greater aim, b/c down that path IMO lies what Laura is talking about in other comments in this thread.
This was sort of the point of my original post. You can't play the game of politics correctly unless you have a rather loose relationship with Truth.

People in power usually think that the best thing that can happen to the communities they govern is that they keep the power.
So they lie to keep the power, "for the good of the community". I think that they even believe that they are doing the right thing all the time :/
I've indeed observed this behavior, both in Free Software politics, and in "regular" politics.
I remember a specific line from the West Wing. Someone asks Toby why he's so focused on winning all the time. His answer: "We can't govern if we don't win."
Governing is an end in itself. Sad.
- If you're wondering when the programmer gravy train ends, it'll probably be around the time we get AI smart enough to write usable software.
Christopher Allan Webber shared this.Show all 12 replies20 years ? no fucking way ... in 20 years, if we are lucky, AI will be smart enough to safely drive a car on public roads. Now, how many people can drive a car and how many people can write usable software ? Main problem for the AI is the creativity involved. And even if in ... let's say ... 50 years AI is good enough to develop some dumbass business software, there will still be more than enough programming and maintainance work on the AIs. I really doubt I'll see that end of the programmer gravy train in my lifetime.We really appreciate how far away from the gravy train you are. You chose a different life years and years ago. For us.

Conservancy Files Petition for DMCA Exemptions for “Smart” TVs
Conservancy asks U.S. Copyright Office to affirmatively permit community-based hacks on television firmwares
Software Freedom Conservancy, with the pro-bono assistance of Tor Ekeland, P.C., filed today a petition for a proposed exception to the anti-circumvention provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”). In its filing, Conservancy asks that the U.S. Copyright Office to legally permit circumvention of encryption for firmwares found on Smart TV products from manufacturers such as Samsung, Sony and LG. Conservancy's full Petition for Proposed Exemption under 17 U.S.C. § 1201 is available in PDF and in ODT format.
By default, the DMCA prohibits users from examining and attempting to decrypt firmwares on these devices when the manufacturer has used Digital Restrictions Management (“DRM”) to prohibit modification and augmentation of the software on the device. Most of these devices include software licensed under GPLv2, such as Linux and BusyBox, but the DMCA often legally stymies users' ability to installed modified versions of the firmware, even when the device manufacturer provides the complete, corresponding source for these components and “scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable” (per requirements in the GPLv2). If granted, Conservancy's requested exemptions would liberate users of BusyBox/Linux-based encrypted firmwares to circumvent the encryption (if they find a technically feasible way of doing so), and such users would need not fear the harsh penalties under DMCA for disseminating information on how to circumvent such DRM.
Commenting on today's filing, Karen Sandler, Conservancy's Executive Director, said: “We work to help create an open environment for users and developers of free and open source software to innovate and make use of the key freedoms that free software licenses give them. Unfortunately the DMCA curtails these freedoms. Our request is that the U.S. Copyright office restore these freedoms to everyone in the U.S.”
Aaron Williamson, Partner at Tor Ekeland, noted the importance of participation in this process by individual citizens, for-profit companies, and non-profits alike: “We're pleased to be working with Conservancy on this petition. The DMCA is a flawed law and the exemption process is imperfect, but an exemption that enables improvements to the free and open source operating systems at the heart of these devices will promote consumer innovation and security. ”
Conservancy hereby releases its Petition under the Creative Commons Public Domain Dedication (CC0 1.0), in hopes that others will file petitions for other, similar consumer electronics products. The deadline for this round of petitions is this Monday, 3 November 2014.

Like I said before in a comment on https://identi.ca/joeyh/note/JHzx9gqNT4-lPDu2GIUmrQ it is appalling the browser vendors can't force something better. WTF is their oligopoly for anyway!?
Couldn't be happier about Matthew Garrett joining the FSF board of directors: http://www.fsf.org/news/matthew-garrett-joins-free-software-foundation-board-of-directorsGreat choice. I'll take it as confirmation of some of my post-free-software (why not, post-open-source-software has been exploited, right?) biases: to actually have control over their own computing and the ability to participate in constructing their computing environments, people have to be safe (their computers and themselves). Estimated probability of increasing FSF relevance in coming years increased. Just for good measure: increase increases. |
