I have to wait for 30 minutes or so to have twilight on the morning run.

But the autumn cool dry air does make it really nice.; 10/8/26, 8:12 PM

Gospace said...: I wonder what the overlap is between people protesting a traitors execution being televised and people who celebrated Charlie Kirk's assassination on live TV... A Venn Diagram might be an almost perfect circle.; 10/8/26, 8:37 PM

I’m interested Jaq. The globalist seem to be the Merkel descendent. Mertz, Macron. Are the populists the AfD and Le Penn? How do you see Europe moving. I do work in a Norway but they are not eu.; 10/8/26, 8:58 PM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: Two reasons for posting this YouTube video:
1 The name of the YouTuber is Siobhan.
2 Earlier today, the post about this year’s Nobel Prize Award for Literature contained this quote : “'Many toil in the interstices of genre,' Daisy Fried wrote in a 2013 review of 'Red Doc >' for The New York Times. 'Carson’s palatable, popular, sophisticated and who-cares approach may have done the most and best work in the last two decades to stop people worrying so much about what’s poetry and what’s not.'"
In this video Siobhan goes a little bit into them “interstices“ of literary genres.

YouTube : Natalie Portman's ex-friend wrote a book about her. And she hates it.

Don’t be dissuaded from watching, because the video is primarily about a cat fight between two big letter A artists.; 10/8/26, 9:02 PM

And Trump is going to keep the strait of hormuz closed until the globalists are removed from power.

Canada is falling apart. Bolsanaro is on track to win. France is burning. Britain is about to deploy the army in their streets. AfD is winning. The US is going to produce Steel again. Trump just cancelled the foreign worked program for a dozen giant tech companies.

I know it gives you the sadz to see America and Americans doing well.; 10/8/26, 9:06 PM

Indefinitely Extended Excursion™️ said...: Pentagon confirms Fort Hood terrorist's firing squad execution will be live-streamed: 'Details will follow' ~ FOX News

I'm literally at a loss for words.....

Well, that's the Circuses. Now all we need is the Bread.; 10/8/26, 9:13 PM
LibertarianLeisure said...: I'm looking forward to post election. So many political advertisements while streaming any movie, so many mail flyers in mail, so many unasked for texts. Important election in Maine, but most have already picked candidate probably. Well, maybe not, maybe they are all for undecided voters or independents. So, I take it back.; 10/8/26, 9:32 PM
Indefinitely Extended Excursion™️ said...: Trump threatens to ‘terminate’ top campaign advisers after revelation of work for pro-Russia Bosnia party ~ NY Post

“Russia, Russia, Russia!”—Trump used to complain.

Funny how the phrase keeps finding its way back into his own orbit.

Trump says Chris LaCivita and James Blair “do not work for me, other than as outside consultants.”

Ah, outside consultants. Because when your longtime political advisers are working for a Putin-aligned government while still operating in Trump’s political orbit, apparently they don’t work for Trump. And the lobbying firm representing Republika Srpska employs the daughter of Susie Wiles, Trump’s chief of staff.

They just work with Trump, for Trump’s political operation, and for Russia-friendly interests.

At some point, “Russia, Russia, Russia” stops being an accusation and starts looking suspiciously like the org chart.; 10/8/26, 9:39 PM
Josephbleau said...: IEE, I think you are too smart to believe what you just said, man.; 10/8/26, 10:12 PM
Iman said...: This live steamed firing squad execution of the Fort Hood murderer is too long in coming.

The “firing squad” needs only to include two less than average ability shooters, who will take turns (and their time 😁) shooting hands, arms, feet, legs, stomach, balls… nothing immediately fatal and let the jihadi bleed out.

If that makes some quimbies think me a sick fuck, I’m okay with that.; 10/8/26, 10:18 PM
hanuman_prodigious_leaper said...: Should be be stood up at wall blindfolded or in enclosure allowed to dodge as long as possible? While shooters blindfolded!

Of course Kalshi market betting how many, which bullets! Etc.; 10/8/26, 10:41 PM
Jim at said...: *This live steamed firing squad execution of the Fort Hood murderer is too long in coming.*

I agree they should've offed this POS 17 years ago, but televising his execution? What purpose does it serve?

If it's some sort of message being sent to Muslim terrorists, televise them shaving his precious beard. That means more to them than their lives.; 10/8/26, 10:50 PM
Iman said...: I think barbering is too good for’em.; 10/9/26, 12:22 AM
Eva Marie said...: I want to know what the play is here. The Trump administration is going through a highly coordinated set of steps leading up to the midterms. You can see the pieces slowly fall onto place. I’d like to know what they think the impact of the execution will be. I’m assuming they’re relying on a reaction from the Democrats which will . . . do what exactly?
Maybe . . .
1.Reframe the war with Iran
2. Sharpen the difference between the Dems and Republicans on terrorism, specifically Islamic terrorism.
What else?; 10/9/26, 12:34 AM
Eva Marie said...: I’m assuming that all these steps are made with the goal of helping the Trump Administration whether they win or lose the midterms . . . although they are playing to win the midterms. But win or lose, they are repositioning themselves in the political arena.; 10/9/26, 12:37 AM
Eva Marie said...: You can see the pivot.; 10/9/26, 12:39 AM
Eva Marie said...: I wish Scott Adams and Rush Limbaugh could still be around to talk about the deeper meaning. That’s what’s really interesting (in my opinion).; 10/9/26, 12:43 AM
Eva Marie said...: What’s also interesting to me is Amazon’s best seller list. Over half of the books on the list now are puzzle books and children’s books. That’s never happened before (in my unscientific estimation). Most of the rest of the books are escapist fiction. Very unusual.; 10/9/26, 12:52 AM
Eva Marie said...: I’m also assuming they are positioning themselves for the 2028 elections. Could Ken Paxton be minority leader if they lose the midterms? He’s a fighter.; 10/9/26, 12:54 AM
Aggie said...: @Eva Marie, maybe they have some insight on what the actual polling numbers are - I mean the inside-baseball professional polling. Maybe their insight is suggesting that the majority of voter's sentiments are against open borders, against H-1B visa abuse that cost Americans jobs, are pro-police, pro-ICE, and with a preference to support the action in Iran. Maybe the attention to these issues is designed to get Republicans to the polls to actually vote, and maybe the intelligence is suggesting that Democrats are already motivated by their own messaging.

It feels like they're prodding Republican voters, trying to juice turnout.; 10/9/26, 1:10 AM
Eva Marie said...: I think that’s what’s behind the public execution. I think it’s supposed to appeal to men specifically and to motivate them to vote. Also gun ownership os going up, that’s got to be factored in there.; 10/9/26, 1:34 AM
Eva Marie said...: They must have gamed that out.; 10/9/26, 1:35 AM
Eva Marie said...: You want your vote to screw big corporations? Well Trump just went after one of the biggest ones - Microsoft.; 10/9/26, 1:38 AM
Eva Marie said...: The Cornel play seems also to have backfired. A pox on college educations, value free sex, and a politicized judiciary. These are all conservative/Republican values. If the Democrats are right and colleges are a rapist’s playground, then maybe they need to be defunded in favor of on line education and trade schools - that’s also a conservative/Republican position.; 10/9/26, 1:48 AM
Howard said...: Nothing is going to convince voters with a doubling of gasoline prices and the continuing obstinate Mad Mullahs over President TACO Bone Spurs empty threats.

No amount of superficial distractions designed to get you people either wet and horny or hopping mad will put President Humpty Dumpty back together again.; 10/9/26, 3:35 AM
