Althouse: Here's the rest of the sunrise

October 30, 2022

Here's the rest of the sunrise — at 7:27...

... and, a little later, at noon, here's the picture Meade caught of me walking the Over Lode Trail (at Blue Mound State Park):

That was over 17,000 steps for the day.

Humperdink said...: Can anyone guess who the biggest blowhard is on the Supreme Court? It's not hard. Think of the biggest gasbag at any party or event. It's generally the person knows the least trying impress the crowd. In this case, it's the newest SCOTUS member who stuttered and stammered when asked to define what a woman is. That would be Ketanji Brown Jackson. In her first 8 cases on the court, the know nothing windbag has uttered over 11,000 words, twice as many as next justice spoke in their first 8 cases.

Narr said...: My wife obsesses (IMO) about her steps per day. Spends a lot of time syncing and monitoring her various devices, and frets if they don't update promptly. She will stalk around the house late at night to get a last few dozen or hundred to reach a round number or beat some other person's number.

I just walk around the neighborhood 3-4-5 times a day, to known distances.

We've had some rain in the last few days, but it's more needed north and west, and upstream, to bring the river level up.; 10/30/22, 8:33 PM

Lem Vibe Bandit said...: Today, I gave a ride to a NY financial guy to the airport. I asked him about the gloomy financial news being predicted all summer. We had been talking sport, so he told me word is every time the Phillys had won the World Series, there has been some kind of financial meltdown.

Here's a quote I found when I googled it...

Ryan Ermey of CNBC.com gets it. He’s a big Phillies fan, and noted in a recent article that he came across a tidbit stating, “Over the past 100 years the surest sign of an economic downturn has been a Philly-based baseball team winning the World Series. It happened in 1929, 1930, 1980, and 2008.”; 10/30/22, 9:33 PM

Baceseras said...: John Prine calls Gordon Lightfoot his songwriting hero. The man himself is sitting right there, sweetly embarrassed, in a roomful of folks. I always liked John Prine's warm and friendly voice. He's funny on top of being humorous, which is a winning combination any day. Here in this big old house in Canada he tells stories, plays his guitar and sings a batch of old and new songs, finely accompanied on second guitar and upright bass. You can see and feel how everyone, performers and audience alike, enjoyed themselves on the occasion, luckily recorded, so we can enjoy it too.; 10/31/22, 2:00 AM
Howard said...: What a glorious weekend we had. Biked from Lexington to Boston and back on the Minuteman trail. Walked around the public garden, had gourmet ceviche on Newbury Street with all the beautiful people.

Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.; 10/31/22, 3:49 AM
tim maguire said...: I religiously monitored my fitbit when it was new, but eventually the pattern became clear--if I do my normal activities, I hit my goals. If I don't, then I don't. I don't need the fitbit to tell me how I did.; 10/31/22, 5:42 AM
Ann Althouse said...: I don't have step goals and I don't try to hit any particular number. I just look at my iPhone at the end of the day, especially if I've gone far and think it might be a high number. 17,000 is very high for me.; 10/31/22, 5:52 AM
tim maguire said...: Ann Althouse said...I don't have step goals and I don't try to hit any particular number.

In my early 50's I read a book called "Younger Next Year" about growing old well--the big idea is that aging is inevitable but decrepitude is a choice. Among other things it talked about the importance of getting your heart rate up to certain levels for a certain amount of time every day and promoted monitoring of all this stuff to make sure you did it. But, similar to step goals, if it was a jogging day, my heart hit its levels and if it wasn't a jogging day, it didn't. No monitoring necessary.; 10/31/22, 6:28 AM
wendybar said...: Nancy needs to release ALL the video in her house, since the official story has changed about 20 times now. And then they WONDER why we don't believe anything they tell us anymore??? Because of this, I am going with the original story. Until they prove it DIDN'T happen that way. The burden of proof is on them. https://twitchy.com/dougp-3137/2022/10/30/san-fran-pd-clarifies-previous-statement-now-says-there-was-not-a-3rd-person-in-the-pelosi-home/; 10/31/22, 6:32 AM

"Brazilenzuela."

Operação Lava Jato

"Investigators indicted and jailed some well-known politicians, including former presidents Fernando Collor de Mello, Michel Temer and Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. The scandal seemed to challenge the impunity of politicians and business leaders and the structural corruption in the political and economic system that had prevailed until then. This was initially thought possible because of the independence of the judiciary.

However, documents leaked in June 2019 to Glenn Greenwald at The Intercept suggest that Judge Sérgio Moro may have been partial in his decisions, passing on 'advice, investigative leads, and inside information to the prosecutors' to 'prevent Lula's Workers' Party from winning' the 2018 elections. Several top jurisprudence authorities and experts in the world have reacted to the leaks by describing former President Lula as a political prisoner and calling for his release. Lula was ultimately released on 8 November 2019, and Brazil's Supreme Court ruled justice Moro was biased against Lula in March 2021."

I don't totally discount what Greenwald found out, but the widespread corruption in South America makes me there were no innocent parties involved in any of the activities, including Brazil's Supreme Court.

Lula is also the guy who, when Rio got the contract for the 2016 Olympics put up an Obama-style poster of himself with the word "CREU" in place of "HOPE." 'Creu!" is trash talk in sports meaning something like 'we won.'; 10/31/22, 6:46 AM
gadfly said...: WaPo casually defames Jordan Peterson:

In late August, DePape became engrossed in the decision by Twitter to ban Jordan Peterson for his posts about transgender people. The Canadian psychologist turned conservative podcaster had once said that being transgender was comparable to “satanic ritual abuse.”

But according to the Independent's January 22, 2022 article provided by Althouse, "A guest on Joe Rogan’s podcast has claimed that being transgender is a “contagion” similar to “satanic ritual abuse.” - the very words that WaPo used uncited.

At least Jordan Peterson got by without a skull fracture as a result of his horrible defamation by two newspapers. Those of us never subjected to "satanic ritual abuse" can only relate as non-Catholics to having sat through a Catholic religious ritual service and having had to politely sit quietly while a nun did the entire "Hail Mary" ritual.; 10/31/22, 6:47 AM

17000! You're cookin'! 8000 is a good day for me. Usually it's around 6000. My meds give me a metabolism of a ground sloth so movement is important.; 10/31/22, 10:58 AM
