Lazarus చెప్పారు...: The Springsteen movie isn't that good. The film makers were trying to make the writing of the "dark, introspective" Nebraska album into something epic. Was it though? I understand that Bruce was struggling with his inner demons, but somehow it didn't work. Maybe the film's failure was to Bruce's credit. He isn't wildly self-destructive, flamboyantly exhibitionist, or even monstrously self-centered, and that seems to be what makes musical biopics.

The relationships didn't work either. The romantic subplot went nowhere, and while it's interesting to know that Bruce's manager was truly devoted to him, that's not dramatic enough. The movie was dark, too -- not only emotionally, but also in lighting and decor.; 03-02-26 7:40 PM
Achilles చెప్పారు...: It has been almost a week since the Chinese Army tried to kidnap Xi and kill him.

A body double was killed instead in one of the CCP pleasure hotels.

5 out of 7 of the top leadership in China are under Arrest with only Xi and the head of his secret police remaining.

We live in interesting times.; 03-02-26 7:42 PM
Eva Marie చెప్పారు...: While I was looking up the Clinton/blue dress portrait, I came across this:
The Nelson Shanks portrait of Bill Clinton (National Portrait Gallery, 2006): This is a formal, official-style painting of Clinton standing near a mantelpiece. The artist, Nelson Shanks, revealed in 2015 interviews (e.g., with the Philadelphia Daily News) that he deliberately included a subtle shadow on the left side—cast by a mannequin in a blue dress in his studio (not present during Clinton’s sittings)—as a literal reference to Lewinsky’s dress and a metaphorical “shadow on the office he held, or on him.” Shanks described Clinton as “probably the most famous liar of all time” and said he couldn’t get the scandal out of his mind while painting. According to Shanks, the Clintons hated the portrait and were pressuring the National Portrait Gallery to remove it (though the gallery said it had been off display since around 2009 for rotation reasons, not explicitly due to this).
For an image of the painting:

Third, we will implement a hate and polarization footprint system to track, quantify, and expose how digital platforms fuel division and amplify hate.

Fourth, Spain will ban access to social media for minors under the age of 16. Platforms will be required to implement effective age verification systems — not just checkboxes, but real barriers that work.

Jaq చెప్పారు...: WWI started with a security guarantee for Belgium. It sounded morally required to the British people, but British elites wanted it so that they could create a perceived moral clarity in the people about their desired war with Germany, because they knew that the real reason that they wanted to fight Germany, to keep the continent divided and squabbling with each other, wasn't a good way to get soldiers to volunteer and to fight.

If we commit to a security guarantee for Ukraine, we are simply setting ourselves up to be dragged into the war that will inevitably be engineered specifically to drag us in, this time.; 03-02-26 8:13 PM

And the husband, who has a superb collection of small batch bourbons, just texted that he wanted to try a really good Scotch for the first time. He got a neat pour of Macallan 18 ($77) and loved it, so I may be enjoying some fine single malts during my next visit. lol; 03-02-26 9:25 PM

Caroline చెప్పారు...: I’ve been thinking about bill bennet’s index of leading cultural indicators from the early 2000s. These are little apocryphal data points that add up to major trends. In my nice, leafy neighborhood in east Dallas, the changes since Covid are dramatic. After the summer of our lord Floyd, most of our municipal officials bit hard on the abolish police mantra. Our DA expanded the amount petty thieves could steal before they might get prosecuted to $900. The businesses in my two mile square now look like a mad max dystopia. The whole front entry to our walgreens has wood panels since the glass was broken, the atm ripped out, the propane locker broken and emptied. Drugstores keep all cosmetics and hair products behind locked glass doors. Our Kroger installed a turnstile to enter, locked up the detergent aisle and installed four cameras per pharmacy aisle. We hear gunshots a few nights a week. I’ve noticed a lot of other things, but don’t want to go on and on, but it occurs to me that our experiment in self governance may well be at an end since clearly we are not a society made of folks capable of governing their behavior.; 03-02-26 9:54 PM

Inga చెప్పారు...: Tech Royalty in the Epstein Files: Silicon Valley’s Secret Social Network

Reid Hoffman leads the pack with 2,658 file mentions, mostly scheduling emails coordinating meetings between the LinkedIn founder and Epstein involving MIT’s Media Lab. Bill Gates clocks in at 2,592 files, documenting lunches, Skype calls, and photos alongside Epstein’s unverified claims about Gates seeking drugs for encounters with “Russian girls.”

Peter Thiel appears in 2,281 files showing lunch meetings and political discussions from 2014-2017. The documents include offers from Epstein to fund Thiel’s lawsuit against Gawker. These weren’t chance encounters—they were deliberate, ongoing relationships with a known sex offender.

Elon Musk‘s 1,116 mentions include his 2012 inquiry about the “wildest party on your island” and discussions about SolarCity installations for Epstein’s properties. Google’s Larry Page (314 files) and Sergey Brin (294 files) appear through subpoenas and alleged island visits. Mark Zuckerberg surfaces in 282 files, while Jeff Bezos appears in 196 files. The breadth spans virtually every major tech platform you use daily.

Sigh. Don't even get me started on the tendency of young singers not to be able to project without a microphone. (Recently I was talking with a voice teacher about this - she says it's a struggle but eventually she does get her students to be willing to admit that it is (a) a learnable skill, and (b) potentially valuable. One weeps for the future of opera.) I don't bother with theatrical musicals anymore since they started using the head mics.; 03-02-26 10:50 PM

This is actually very fascinating. Did he sell his relationships and inner knowledge of these people to other sovereigns looking for the goods on a government, an industry, or individuals? I mean...who walks around with a 'rolodex' like Epstein had?

No one. Not even the CIA had that many relationships with key people around the world. WTF?

I think it's really changed how science is done. Men are more individualistic, and competitive, and are driven to beat the next guy, even if he's a friend. Women want group science where they all get together and decide what to do, how to do it, and what the result will be.; 04-02-26 7:04 AM

Humperdink చెప్పారు...: I recall the radical group Students for a Democratic Society from days at Penn State in the late 60’s/ early 70’s. I thought they were long gone. Not so.

From Power Line: “UMN SDS, organized a Jan. 28 protest outside a hotel located on campus that was allegedly housing ICE agents. Dozens of agitators swarmed the Graduate by Hilton and rocked police barricades, pounded on drums and pans, set off noisemakers, and shouted “Fuck ICE” at local and state law enforcement. University police eventually declared it an unlawful assembly and arrested 67 protesters, including Jack Louis Nimz—a public school teacher, the president of SDS’s national arm, and one of the radicals arrested for storming the campus building in October 2024.”

“ And Nimz, a transgender individual who goes by “Celia,” is an organizer with the Freedom Road Socialist Organization, a Marxist-Leninist group working to “build a new, revolutionary, communist party” in the United States. Nimz is also a K-12 physical education teacher for the Minneapolis Public School District, according to the Minnesota Educator Licensing and Standards Board.”

Peachy చెప్పారు...: 8:09 - typo fix.; 04-02-26 8:38 AM
narciso చెప్పారు...: I would say the preponderance of ignorant or merely misinformed women who are represented as the standard; 04-02-26 8:40 AM
Peachy చెప్పారు...: Leftism is a toxic poison.

The democrat party is the sell-out party and their self righteous religious adherents are a cult, hell bent on destroying our nation for their power-lust.; 04-02-26 8:40 AM
Original Mike చెప్పారు...: "It depends on the field, of course. I believe women are now a solid, if not overwhelming majority in biology, much less in math, engineering and physics."

What I watch is math, engineering, and especially physics and cosmology. And it's overwhelming women that these shows put front and center. I don't much care, but it's obvious as hell.; 04-02-26 8:42 AM
Peachy చెప్పారు...: Women are emotional creatures. They are the perfect target for the anti-education left, ruling and ruining our education systems.
The other day - schools all over shut down so leftist teachers could abuse their students by forcing their radical ideology on them. with the ICE lies.; 04-02-26 8:46 AM
Original Mike చెప్పారు...: "You guys who blame women for everything - you do realize this is just another way the establishment keeps us divided."

I'm not blaming women for anything. I supported a healthy mix of women in my research group (support = paid their salary and mentored them to their degree). I'm just commenting on the obvious propaganda of the science shows, like Nova.; 04-02-26 8:49 AM
Eva Marie చెప్పారు...: @Enigma: it all depends on how you frame the problem.(thanks, Scott Adams) The problem is the government as the source for so much of the funding. Unqualified people rising above qualified people is always the inevitable result.; 04-02-26 8:50 AM
Dr Weevil చెప్పారు...: Aggie (8:04am):
I misread that as “the FURRY will be unleashed”, which was even more disturbing.; 04-02-26 8:53 AM
Original Mike చెప్పారు...: Yes, Sabine has fallen hard for the "climate change catastrophe" thesis. I did notice a few days ago she had Steven Koonin's "Unsettled" on her bookshelf.; 04-02-26 8:55 AM
Eva Marie చెప్పారు...: Peachy said...
“Women are emotional creatures.”
I disagree but I’ll leave that for another day when I have more time.
But I will say this:
Men are expected to control their natural inclinations.
Women are encouraged to indulge their natural inclinations.; 04-02-26 8:58 AM
Original Mike చెప్పారు...: And Sabine does do a good job of criticizing the cargo cult green technologies.; 04-02-26 8:59 AM
Original Mike చెప్పారు...: Oh, and she's savage about the German's blowing up (literally) their nuclear industry. She just thinks climate change is going to kill us all.; 04-02-26 9:02 AM
Peachy చెప్పారు...: Eva - That Women are emotional is not all bad or wrong. and it is a generalization. (not all women)
"Women are encouraged to indulge in their natural inclinations."
yes - their emotions.; 04-02-26 9:03 AM
Achilles చెప్పారు...: Eva Marie said...

Yes let’s blame women for “how science is done.” That way we don’t have to deal with the real problem: heavy government dominance in funding which has led to risk-averse, bureaucratic science that stifles innovation.
You guys who blame women for everything - you do realize this is just another way the establishment keeps us divided. The more we separate into groups who hate each other, the easier we are to subdue.

I don't blame all women.

Just the 80% or so of women in the center and left of the bell curve who should be having kids and raising them instead of pretending they are boss babes playing HR god and doing "Science" at universities.

There are some exceptional women who can do things.

Some.; 04-02-26 9:05 AM
Kakistocracy చెప్పారు...: According to Greek mythology, Achilles' mother, Thetis, dressed him in women's clothing and hid him on the island of Skyros to prevent him from dying in the Trojan War. He lived among the daughters of King Lycomedes, disguised as a maiden to avoid being recruited for the war.; 04-02-26 9:12 AM
Clyde చెప్పారు...: The problem is not so much that the Scotch got so much more expensive as that your dollar's value has shrunk due to inflation over the years.; 04-02-26 9:20 AM
john mosby చెప్పారు...: Hump: "It is a mystery why our crackerjack investigative agency, that would be the FBI, has not infiltrated the Minneapolis miscreants."

The Bureau itself is still infiltrated by lefty burrowers who would gladly compromise the operation. CC, JSM; 04-02-26 9:29 AM
Big Mike చెప్పారు...: @Kaki, now go learn how to read Homer στα πρωτότυπα ελληνικά.

We’re laughing at you, you know. You and Ronnie Ward and Inga the Stinka, and Fredo Frederson and all of your made-up “facts.”; 04-02-26 9:38 AM
Kakistocracy చెప్పారు...: The revelation of Trump giving the UAE military-grade AI chips in exchange for a $500 million bribe could push his Republican approval rating below 95%.; 04-02-26 9:38 AM
Humperdink చెప్పారు...: @john mosby. Remember when Kash Patel said he was going to demolish the FBI building?; 04-02-26 9:43 AM
Leland చెప్పారు...: “ military-grade AI chips” does this term mean anything other than certain Nvidia chips that the US banned being sold to China? In other words, chips available to everyone else but China?; 04-02-26 9:48 AM
Narr చెప్పారు...: My guess on the preponderance of women in the science-y shows is that it's an attempt to garner female viewers (especially young female viewers).

Then again, all other things being equal, a lot of my peers would prefer to watch attractive young women 'splain things.
I know I would.

FWIW there are some very fine woman historians out there, but few are known for youth and beauty--most are Sabine Hassenpfeffer-grade.; 04-02-26 10:03 AM
buwaya చెప్పారు...: Whats wrong with you? Sabine is hot.; 04-02-26 10:08 AM
Original Mike చెప్పారు...: "My guess on the preponderance of women in the science-y shows is that it's an attempt to garner female viewers (especially young female viewers)."

It's a DEI thing, as evidenced by the trans women they also throw in.; 04-02-26 10:10 AM
john mosby చెప్పారు...: Well there are also hot male talking heads. In history, you’ve got the two Dans: Snow and Jones. Carl Sagan was kind of hot in his day. CC, JSM; 04-02-26 10:14 AM
john mosby చెప్పారు...: Hump: “ Remember when Kash Patel said he was going to demolish the FBI building?”

Not everything. Was that leaked? I thought it came top down from Trump, screaming it from the rooftops. CC, JSM; 04-02-26 10:16 AM
Peachy చెప్పారు...: De-fund the Police.

A radical left communist action.

Purge the ranks and re-fill with democrat party mob loyalists.

That was the plan all along.

The Police should be non-political.; 04-02-26 10:17 AM
john mosby చెప్పారు...: Beasts: “ I gave up on Balvenie DoubleWood when it hit $100.”

A lot of people would call that a bargain for double wood….CC, JSM; 04-02-26 10:19 AM
Rustygrommet చెప్పారు...: Achilles
It's the reason that the price of gold and silver have been so jumpy lately. Traditionally the Chinese in times of unrest have invested heavily in gold and silver. Portable wealth.; 04-02-26 10:32 AM
buwaya చెప్పారు...: Balvenie Doublewood was our thing, but that was before I became diabetic and gave up drinking. Balvenie is a quite mild single malt, we both thought we were being wimps. Still, we liked it.; 04-02-26 10:38 AM
