... we're saying goodbye to the great Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, but you should go to one of the 2 previous posts to talk about her and how we will get by without her, so please restrict this post to other topics, all of which are permitted and encouraged.
Photos taken at 6:46 and 7:02. A Type #4 sunrise ripened into an Inky (Type #8). (Here's the post explaining 10 types of sunrises.)

Sexy sunrise.
Great is overused. What was great about her?
YEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
I like Inky.
Add the name “Satchuel Cole“ to Rachel Dolezal and Shaun King — another white person passing as black.
Lot of people lauding RBG for being a role model. Which is just sad.
If we can talk about her jurisprudence, Ginsburg was really a mediocrity.* Like Thurgood Marshall. Neither left any lasting intellectual legacy.
Sad that people's heroes are not really worthy of it.
* Actually, most justices have been mediocre.
Enjoy a Friday LinkSwarm.
Wait: I thought your taxonomy of sunrises had 10 kinds. But here you speak of a type 4 morphing into a type 10. Are further morphine’s allowed? Even without more, your 10 kinds have become 90 (10 initial + 1 morph into any of 9 others). If morphs 2-N are in fact allowed, we get a combinatorial explosion of types. Chaos ensues.
And here I thought you had this all organized!
Water is a certain comfort to live by...
I’m not expert, but I think Athouse should expand her metrics re the sun.
When I look at the best (IMHO) of these sun picks I’m thinking about donuts. Sure that means that I’m a conservative cause I’m into donuts that have a whole in the middle. No modern intersectional pastry fer me. IOW, as I mentally log the hole year re sun picks here I’m especially aroused when I can discern delicious, keto busting sating.
Anywho, the second pic in this post sorta looks donut-y.
= AltScore + 0.6120594D
IMHO.
BTW, am I the only Althouse reader who wants to see Althouse type her score along w/ each sun pic she posts? I bet she’d do that for a year for ten million dollars (before tax).
She’s so funny!
Ginsberg had the decency and audacity (courage rightly belongs only to those who put their loves at risk) to be openly partisan rather than exercising her bigotries in the sanctuary of her chambers. That's as much praise as I can give her. May her soul rest in peace. May her rulings rest in pieces.
This ain't my first briskut.
$3.19 prime pound.
You kingsoopr/kroger people out ought be aware. They were charging $8.99 for mere choice, and an astonishing $5.59 for soon-to-be-expired choice.
When with a Costco membership I save nearly $6 per pound times 15 ... whoa!
Now, it was only the flat of the mere choice briskut at the King Sooper Kroger near here, the point wasn't included.
Real smokers know that's more of a condemnation than a justification of the cost.
I remember paying $3.99 for Prime vs. $2.99 for Choice. Now it's $3.19 vs. $2.79. Very, very interesting, to folks like me that smoke.
Predictably, the Left is threatening to "burn it all down" if the Senate dares to confirm before the election.
Good strategy, Leftists. THIS time, it will work.
I'm not with the terrorist.
I am not with G.W.B.
I am with Trump.

FBI agent who found Hillary Clinton's emails on Anthony Weiner's laptop calls agency's handling of case 'immoral' and reveals how he fought for weeks to have them investigated
-FBI agent John Robertson found the messages that led to the Hillary Clinton email investigation being reopened days before the 2016 election
-He said the way the bureau handled the case was 'not ethically or morally right'
Robertson feared he would be made a 'scapegoat' when he found the emails in the wake of DailyMail.com's revelation that Anthony Weiner was sexting a minor
-The disgraced congressman's wife Huma Abedin was Clinton's top aide
-Robertson said the FBI did nothing for a month until he went outside the chain of command and spoke with the US Attorney's office overseeing the case
-The only advice from his bosses was to erase his office computer, which meant leaving no record of his investigations, a new book says
-October Surprise: How the FBI Tried to Save Itself and Crashed an Election will be published on September 22
-Robertson's claims add another layer of intrigue to the investigation of Clinton's emails which has become one of the most divisive episodes of the 2016 election

The article links to the WaPo article '...adapted from “October Surprise: How the FBI Tried to Save Itself and Crashed an Election,” which will be published Sept. 22 by PublicAffairs.'
Only far down in the article is it mentioned:
'...He [John Robertson] meant a Congressional subpoena for all Clinton emails in the FBI’s possession applied only to the original tranche of roughly 30,000 she had turned over from her server.
“I consider that lawyerly bulls---,” Robertson continued. “I possess — the FBI possesses — 20 times more emails than Comey testified to (approx. 30,000 I believe. I have 600,000+). While Comey did not know at the time about what I have, people in the FBI do now, and as far as I know, we are being silent. Further, while I have no authority in my warrant to look into the emails (and I have stuck to my limited search authority), the mere existence of these emails is sufficient to give me pause when I see that we (FBI) have been served with a subpoena for all materials related to HC.
“I am not going to whistleblow.
“If I say or do nothing more, I am falling short ethically and morally. And later, I may be accused of being a Hillary Clinton hack because of the timing of all this. Nothing could be further from the truth. I am apolitical...'

In August 2018, Paul Sperry wrote in RealClearInvestigations that:
Despite Comey Assurances, Vast Bulk of Weiner Laptop Emails Were Never Examined
'...Comey later told Congress that “thanks to the wizardry of our technology,” the FBI was able to eliminate the vast majority of messages as “duplicates” of emails they’d previously seen. Tireless agents, he claimed, then worked “night after night after night” to scrutinize the remaining material.
But virtually none of his account was true, a growing body of evidence reveals.
In fact, a technical glitch prevented FBI technicians from accurately comparing the new emails with the old emails. Only 3,077 of the 694,000 emails were directly reviewed for classified or incriminating information. Three FBI officials completed that work in a single 12-hour spurt the day before Comey again cleared Clinton of criminal charges.'

Sunrises are a spectrum not decimal!
“Morphines” —> “morphings”
Apologies. Hangs head in shame. But the question still stands.
Inky is my favorite - though I admit to having more than one.
The weather for today is forecast to be lovely, albeit on the cool side. There's a nice park in Kittery that we plan to explore, Fort McClary. Then maybe over to foreside for a light lunch. We will not be visiting the outlet stores.
Good day to you all.
Speaking of sunrises, this morning while I was sitting on the patio having my coffee, while the sky was blue with pink clouds, a roseate spoonbill flew directly overhead, a bird that is pink like a flamingo but with a different kind of funny bill. Anyway, it was a nice picture to see, even if the pink was probably overdone. They are very common within their range.

Question.
At what time does 'sunrise' end and 'day' begin?
On a lighter note (is that permitted on a day of mourning?):
A social activist in Indianapolis has confessed that she has been passing as black, but is actually white. Here's what I'm having trouble with. "She uses pronouns they/them". But her announcement/confession/apology is: "Friends, I need to take accountability for my actions and the harm that I have done. My deception and lies have hurt those I care most about. I have taken up space as a Black person while knowing I am white. I have used Blackness when it was not mine to use. I have asked for support and energy as a Black person. I have caused harm to the city, friends and the work that I held so dear," Cole posted on a Facebook page under the name Satch Paige."
Shouldn't that be: "Friends, they need to accountability for their actions and harm that they have done..."? Does the whole pronoun thing need to be expanded: "they, them, theirs, I, mine"?
"Add the name “Satchuel Cole“ to Rachel Dolezal and Shaun King — another white person passing as black."
I read most of an article about her--excuse me, "them"--in the Indy Star, which appears to be a leftist publication. She was born Jennifer Something, but changed her name a while back to Satchuel Paigelyn Cole. Seriously.
Commenter "h" brings up the Satch Cole personal pronoun issue (Cole uses they/them). I think the entire neo-pronoun thing is fascinating---in a, what the hell are they banging on about, pretzel-logic kind of way.
I too have been wondering, since there are no real rules in this new boutique pronoun swirl, do people who want to control the speech of others also have the right to demand that people not refer to them as "you" when speaking to them directly?
And as h's post pointed out, if a person's pronoun is "they" (which flies right up my butt because we NEED that word to convey important distinctions), shouldn't their own speech be devoid of the pronoun "I"? Seems they should only be using "we" and "us," right?
Finally, has anyone seen an explanation of the fact that the personal-pronoun announcement is always stated in the form: He/Him, She/Her, They/Them? Why the need to specify the second usage? If your pronoun is She, for instance, what the hell else would the other pronoun be, other than "Her"? Does anyone know of an instance where one would use something else? For example: "I'd like to welcome our next speaker, Avery Wilson. She's here to update us on some exciting new developments in our marketing campaign---let's give him a warm welcome!"
Claims of racism in Covid-19 mortality? Here's a clue: https://www.cdc.gov/obesity/data/obesity-and-covid-19.html
"Does the whole pronoun thing need to be expanded"
I would assume anyone who wanted to be referred to in the third person as "they" would refer to themselves as "we": "Friends, we need to take accountability for our actions and the harm that we have done." Etc.
Personally, I just mentally replace each "they" and "them" with "it".
Actually, most justices have been mediocre.
You don't have to be a towering intellect to follow the Constitution.
But you have to be a complete moron to think you know better.
"At what time does 'sunrise' end and 'day' begin?”
In Florida, it’s when the clouds turn white from whatever colors dawn turned them.
I'm here in the Soviet of Seattle. I didn't go very far in life. I still live in the same neighborhood. My old elementary school is just up the hill.
In 2008, and 2012, Obama bumper stickers were ubiquitous. In fact, you can still find 2008 Obama/Biden bumper stickers on automobiles.
In 2016, there were some "I'm with -->HER" (which sounds absolutely criminal today), but the Hillary bumper stickers have now all been removed.
In 2020, there are no Biden bumper stickers, but oddly there are yard signs. I notice that one yard sign just says "Biden 2020" while most of the others also specify Harris as the VP.
I really don't recall seeing presidential election yard signs in Seattle since Nixon defeated Humphrey in 1968.
Paco Wové makes sense. RIgelDog asks some unanswerable questions. But we all recognize that behind it all, any explicit listing of pronouns is really trying to send the message, "I am very cool, and I don't like DJ Trump." My guess is once Trump is out of office, this whole pronoun thing will die out.
There is a moment when the sun rises at which day begins.

Damn your eyes, my Costco doesn't carry the prime packet briskets. I apparently must call every d--d one around me to find out if they do, and they'll probably all lie to me like the first one did.
On the bright side, got a Superior Angus at Restaurant Depot for $3.19 with 25% off because the cryovac was nicked. Excellent for Rosh Hashanah and I froze the other half for Yom Kippur next week.
