The day-late sunrise.

IMG_9082

This is yesterday's sunrise, at 7:05 a.m. I left it out of yesterday's collection because it didn't fit the color scheme, which was a deep red-orange. I decided to keep it for a day when I missed the sunrise, and that turned out to be the very next day. It rained all night and into the morning, so we stayed in, and I got the chance to use this picture from yesterday. I especially like the shadow cast by that one cloud. It seems to be a negative sunbeam.

Goings on: "The state of Montana took its electronic absentee voting system offline shortly after it went live when prospective voters discovered Kamala Harris wasn't on the ballot."

Our elections are fake.

These voting machines were "tested" and approved, gone over twice ... neigh three times .... and were deemed ready to go. Except one of the candidates isn't listed on the ballot.

But "everything is fine folks. Just go about your business. Keep voting. Don't revolt. Don't shoot anybody (except Trump)."

Very nice sunrise. I hid my head when I saw it was raining. Autumn. Then winter. Where have all the flowers gone?

The North Korean women’s soccer team won the U-20 World Cup today. I wonder how the country will celebrate. Maybe everyone will get an extra slice of bread for dinner tomorrow!

OK, that's a good one.

The Muslim Mayor of Hamtramck MI , an old Polish suburb of Detroit, now the majority Muslim city in America, just endorsed Trump ! They are upset at all the transgender stuff pushed by Democrats. Hilarious!

Here is a link to my discussion with perplexity.ai pro regarding my incorrect insistence that the word "anathema" should be used with the article "an"... as in "an anathema".
I don't think that a naked anathema will ever sound right to me. It makes me think that my lack of grammatical understanding indicates that my use of language is nothing more than a (poorly trained) LLM running in my head.

Tonight a few of my grade school friends are recalling friend and neighbor Mish Michaels who was cancelled before cancel culture. Recall her and all the persecuted scientists before and after, in the past and the future…

Unsurprisingly mainstream media neglects to publish her cause of death…

How sad. She committed suicide.

OK, you got me interested in this question, so I asked ChatGPT, and here was the nut graf of its answer:

Countability: "Anathema" is usually uncountable in its modern sense, so you wouldn't say "an anathema" in most cases.

For instance, if you said "the show was garbage," well garbage is uncountable, but if you said that the "the show was a failure" failures are countable. It really doesn't have to do with anything special about the word "anathema," just that it's uncountable. If you said that something was anathema to you, you might mean to say that it was an abomination to you. Once again abominations are countable, and anathema isn't.

Sources say the only members of Robinson’s staff remaining are a pizza delivery man, a plumber, and a stepsister.

Nearly all of Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson's campaign staff quits after CNN report https://www.wunc.org/politics/2024-09-22/mark-robinson-campaign-staff-quit-cnn-report

Has Trump yet claimed he doesn’t know Robinson, he may have met him once or twice?

Okay they’ve finally identified the problem; let’s take bets on how long it takes them to reach the conclusion. I put $10 on eternity.

How did Trump hack system

Inga म्हणाले...

Trump just seems to love these guys. “He’s MLK on steroids”. On Diddy, he said “I just love that guy, he's a good guy, he’s a good friend of mine”. He had good things to say about Epstein too and he wished Ghislaine Maxwell well when she went to jail. See a pattern?

gadfly म्हणाले...

Dixcus, "neigh" is the whinny of a horse; "nay" as in no, is amazingly spelled like it sounds.

Montana had an input error, not a voting machine error and no evidence exists that our elections are fake. Try signing up to help administer the system at your local polling place where you will find dedicated, hard-working people from both parties.

Montana Secretary of State omits VP Harris from overseas ballots

It has recently come to light that the Republican Montana Secretary of State allegedly instructed her office to leave Vice President Kamala Harris’ name off voting ballots that were sent to thousands of Montanans living abroad. This shocking claim was made by Ricky Davila on Twitter, where he expressed his disbelief and outrage at the situation. The tweet, posted on September 22, 2024, called for the Secretary of State to be arrested and charged with election interference, questioning the absence of action from the Department of Justice.
The alleged act of leaving Vice President Harris’ name off voting ballots raises serious concerns about the integrity of the electoral process in Montana. If true, this would be a clear violation of democratic principles and could undermine the trust of voters in the state. The decision to exclude a candidate from the ballot is a serious one and should not be taken lightly. It is essential that all candidates have a fair and equal opportunity to participate in the electoral process.
The role of the Secretary of State is to oversee elections and ensure that they are conducted fairly and transparently. Any attempt to manipulate or interfere with the electoral process is a direct threat to democracy. The allegations against the Montana Secretary of State are deeply concerning and should be thoroughly investigated. If found to be true, appropriate action must be taken to hold those responsible accountable for their actions.
The fact that Vice President Harris’ name was allegedly left off voting ballots sent to Montanans living abroad is a serious issue that cannot be ignored. It is essential that all voters have the opportunity to cast their ballots for the candidate of their choice. Any attempt to suppress or manipulate the votes of certain individuals is a direct attack on the democratic process.
The call for the Secretary of State to be arrested and charged with election interference highlights the gravity of the situation. If these allegations are proven to be true, it would represent a serious breach of trust and a betrayal of the democratic values that we hold dear. The Department of Justice must take swift and decisive action to investigate these claims and ensure that the integrity of the electoral process is upheld. 'the maduro group of right wingers '
