Mall of America 1992 when it opened and today
https://revolver.news/2026/08/watch-mall-of-america-in-1992-is-completely-unrecognizable-from-today/
…the least sinister scenario is an inappropriate obsession, believing every vaccine is smallpox vaccine and once everyone gets it the problem is eradicated. I suspect there’s a big element of that. More likely it’s mental illness of the leaders and obsession over control of others…
Eva... Thanks.

"I am a recovering monochromatic globohomo minimalist. "
I love that.
I just read that Klobuchar is leaving the Senate and running for Governor of the clown state. Now all the NYT's MSM attacks on Walz make sense. They wanted him out, so she could become Governor. Or rather, she wanted to be Governor and they pushed out walz to open up the spot.
Not that it really matters. One wonders if she is going to be the D establishment favorite in 2028. Or a backup to Newsome if he fails.
Thing about Minnesota is their full of people who shouldn't be allowed to vote. They're just Goddamn stupid. They'll keep electing Liberal/leftists and welcoming Somalis until they entire state is a disaster area. And they'll be happy. Cause they're stupid.
Whoever leaked Trump’s furtive travel from Turkey should be caught and penalized bigly.
I flew from CNY to Orlando yesterday. If our hostess had been in the airport and on the flight, she would be having sartorial nightmares for days. Roughly 25% of the males on the plane were in shorts, from teens to ones that looked older then me. May not have been, but certainly looked it. About 10% of total males in the airport- my guess being everyone wasn't headed to southern climes.
My children have never seen me in shorts unless I was engaged in actual athletic endeavor. They were shocked to find I recently purchased several new pair. They are suitable for wear on trails. Started walking seriously this summer walking 4-5 days a week from 5 to 9 miles depending on how I feel that day. Rainy days? 1 hour on the treadmill, 3.2 MPH, 3.5% grade. Enough to keep me shape.
Walz was going to use his assassin to kill Klobuchar.
Leftists again trying to engage in jury intimidation and tampering in the Mangione trial. Just like they tried to during the Rittenhouse and Karmelo Anthony trials.

Klobuchar. .... Did she not invent new utensil for eating salad
Since the tomatoes are finally producing, we have taken to having BLT's often. We save the bacon grease, and use it for cooking. It takes high temperature well, and has a lot of flavor.
This has called to mind the line, "Mama's cookin' chicken in bacon grease, down the road, down the road, down the road apiece." From the song that is generally referred to as "Down The Road Apiece".
But when you listen to various versions of this song, you hear all sorts of strange lyrics. "Come on along, you can lose your lease,". Why would you want to lose your lease? Maybe your leash?
"It's just an old piano and a knockout bass." What the fuck is a "knockout bass"?
I have been tracing the development of this song. I think the original line was "Come on along before they lose their lease", meaning that this roadhouse was likely to be shut down by the property owners. And I suspect that it was originally a "doghouse bass", which is something musicians are familiar with. Anyway, it seems like a lot of people have made covers of this song without bothering themselves much about what the words might actually mean. "It's open every night about twelve to six". Really? Place opens at midnight? Or Noon?

Now, of course, the line was actually performed as "C'mon along 'fore the y lose their lease"., which brings up a related question. In Dylan's Valley Below, he has the repeated chorus;
"One more cup of coffee for the road
One more cup of coffee 'fore I go
To the valley below."
What I want to talk about is that 'fore. Obviously, "before" would not have fit the meter. But there is an established solution to exactly this problem in English poetry, which is the
word "ere".
But Dylan clearly did **not** want to sing "One more cup of coffee 'ere I go" (plus, one has to wonder what exactly the apostrophe in 'ere signifies). He **could** have written "One more cup of coffee, then I go", or "then I'll go". But that has a different semantic freight. "One more cup of coffee 'fore I go" says that going is established. A thing that is certain to occur. A milepost in the on-flowing stream of time. Certain things might occur 'ere that, but that will occur.
Whereas. "One more cup of coffee, then I'll go" sounds like someone who is trying to evade going. Whereas Dylan's intent is to convey a fatalistic certainty.
I can only suppose that "'ere" would have sounded too precious, too sophisticated. The protagonist of Dylan's song is neither stupid nor unsophisticated, but he is a romantic, and therefore doomed. Romanticism is precisely the view that there are things that must be done -- and they must be done. Human virtue can only consist in doing those things, just as human failing lies in failing to do those things. "Nothing really matters much, it's doom alone that counts."
Democrats need to wake up.
The clearest argument is fairness in women’s sports.
Florence “Flo-Jo” Griffith Joyner’s 10.49-second 100-meter dash remains the women’s world record. Yet elite high-school boys have repeatedly run faster than that mark. That does not diminish Flo-Jo’s achievement; it shows why sex-based competitive categories exist in the first place. (thx WB)
Likewise, the U.S. Women’s National Team - eventual winner of the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup - lost a 2017 training scrimmage, 5–2, to FC Dallas’s U-15 boys academy team. These were elite academy players, but they were roughly 14 years old.
Women’s sports were created so women would have meaningful opportunities to compete and win. Protecting that purpose is not an attack on transgender people. It is a recognition that fairness matters.
Democrats: stop treating this as unsayable. Respecting transgender people and maintaining sex-based categories in competitive sports are not mutually exclusive. If party leaders cannot make that distinction, they are either fools - or they think their supporters are.
Here's an insane abortion case in Texas.
California couple contract with a woman in Alaska to be a surrogate mother for their baby. The baby develops a serious-but-treatable heart condition. The couple demands that the surrogate mom have an abortion. She refuses.
And she moves to Texas to protect the baby. Now Ken Paxton is getting involved.
"The intended parents have refused to agree that they will consent to the life-saving surgery upon birth and may attempt to transport the child out of Texas to prevent treatment from being administered," a statement from Paxton's office reads.
Wow, what a mess. My sympathy is with the baby and the baby's mom, of course. The California couple remains anonymous, out of an assumption that the public will not be on their side. They've got the money but they don't have the love.
The parents have sued for parental rights, sought to compel her to give birth in California, stopped payments, and demanded repayment plus damages that could reach $250,000 — a sum West says would financially ruin her.
Interesting to compare the journalists talking about this case.
LifeNews.com is a website that publishes pro-life content. It's similar to the abolitionist newspapers back in the 19th century. Definite point of view. Their article shows multiple photographs of the happy mom.
CBS is now run by Bari Weiss, the former NYT reporter who quit, because of all the woke bullshit in the NYT, and started The Free Press. Notably, she's a married lesbian, and she and her wife have had two children through IVF. (Her wife, Nellie Bowles, is the biological mom). I don't know how much of this biography is relevant, but I do find it notable (and good) that CBS uses the term "unborn baby" over and over in their article. And does not once use the word "fetus." No photographs of the surrogate mom.
The Hill, that fucking rag, not only doesn't show the surrogate mom's photo, they've written her out of the story entirely. She has no name! They spin Ken Paxton as the bad guy who is trying to seize the baby from the parents. And they bring back the word "fetus." Highly partisan and lazy journalism from D.C. Way to miss the story, jackass.
The rest of the media apparently thinks this story is of zero interest. The damn anonymous biological parents tried to force their surrogate to have an abortion against her will! Now they are using lawyers in an attempt to coerce an abortion. You think you liberals who prattle about "choice" might notice that shit.
Meanwhile, you can kill babies up until birth in Massachusetts now. That's the rule in 10 states, plus D.C.
SC, I don’t understand it at all. I am pro abortion (not up to birth) but if you believe that the right to an abortion resides in the woman in whom the baby is growing then this is a messy case but none the less it’s pretty clear that you shouldn’t be able to force a woman to have the baby aborted.
An interesting article from the Psmiths bookshelf blog,
“ The moment the scales fell from my eyes, actually, was the SARS-2 pandemic that we all lived through, but which now feels like a weird dream. One of the most dreamlike parts for me was the first few weeks, when the plucky right-wing dissidents were loading up on N95 masks and sharing graphs of doubling times with each other, whilst the center-left loudly made fun of them and declared that anyone worried about the virus was a racist. A few weeks later, everybody had exactly switched sides with zero acknowledgement or discussion, and I began wondering if I was a crazy person. A few months after that, mass outdoor gatherings suddenly switched from being subversive to patriotic, and that was when I realized that my entire life the social reality in which I had swam was actively shaped by powers with no regard for truth or reality. It wasn’t that they were against the truth, or trying to cover things up on principle, it was even weirder than that. It was just orthogonal to what they cared about. They were genuinely indifferent. They existed in a world of arguments and reason just like I did, but in their world these were tools for winning rather than tools for discovering the nature of things.”
Politics is not the desire to do right, but the desire to win.

It was the pressing down of any disagreement or question, it was the constant threat of violence, it was the destruction of the careers and lives of countless people (and the consequent evisceration of the entertainment industry), it was the the removal of choice for vaccines, it was the inflamation of racism, it was the neutering of law enforcement, it was the numbing of meritocracy, it was the dismantling of the spirit of quite a few cities (and the accompanying declining property values), it was the collapse of a political party, it was the crushing of common sense (particularly in the young), it was the ruin of university value, it was the end of trust in the media, it was the fostering of the most selfish era in modern society. It was fascism, intolerance, and decidedly un-American. It was shameful and despicable. It was not “bad tweets.”

And the people who make those products and equipment will do so so freely?

I am pro abortion (not up to birth)
Eva, you may not know this, but I was pro-choice many, many years ago (back in high school and college). So for me it was a process of waking up to the reality of what was going on.
(I love your posts, by the way)
So my question, and you don't have to answer it if you don't want to, is why do you believe what you believe?
Specifically, why are you "pro-abortion" (most people would say "pro-choice")?
And when you say "not until birth," what makes you think we ought to draw a line sometime before birth? And where would that line be?

Looks like Crowley beat Hong.
I've never thought much about the issues around surrogacy (not my wheelhouse, you might say). As a general rule, I'm pro-natalist (of course), so I have no moral objections to surrogacy, per se. I loved the movie Juno, which I see as a pro-life movie. And that was about a surrogacy birth.
But we might want to regulate the surrogacy industry, more than we do. There are definitely some crazy aspects to the practice.

Some questions for pro-choice people.
Why do you need nine months to choose? There are a huge number of countries (the vast majority of the world, actually) who regulate abortions at some point. The number of countries that allow abortions until birth are rare. You're talking China and North Korea. And another name, Canada. That's the country where doctors are actively assisting in suicide, killing the patients in hospitals.
I'm afraid that Canada has been infected by the loony left in our country. And now they are worse.
Anyway, Massachusetts, at least now you can brag about how your rules don't resemble authoritarian states. "We're like Canada!" Which sounds good to a lot of us. But now the motto in Canada is, "We kill the young and the old."

Some questions for pro-choice people.
How are you going to enforce your ban on abortion in the first 16 weeks?
Are you going to strap women to a wall and feed them intravenously? Are you going to investigate every miscarriage and every heavy period as a potential murder? Are pregnant women going to have to wear drug monitors?
Why I’m pro abortion:
I don’t mind calling it a baby and not a fetus.
I dont mind calling it murder.
But that life is growing inside a human being and that human being, always a woman, has power over that being that in any other circumstances would be considered unconstitutional. The developing baby depends 100% on her body - her health, food, medication, work, sleep, and willingness to accept medical risks. Those are (we might say) God’s laws. And part of that is the determination of life or death of the life growing inside of her. The government cannot protect that life without claiming extraordinary control over the woman’s body and everyday decisions. We would never give the state that power under any other circumstances.
(Before dedicated morning-after pills, in the past, doctors sometimes used higher doses of ordinary birth-control pills as emergency contraception. That shows how private, time-sensitive, and impossible to police reproductive decisions are.)
At the same time I believe in compromise. At some point the decision not to terminate a pregnancy becomes a decision to have the baby. (It would be so productive if the pro abortion activists genuinely compromised with anti abortion activists on where that point should be.)
I completely understand people who are uncomfortable with abortion on a moral level but I am even more uncomfortable with the idea of the government having the power to dictate what a woman does with her own own body.
Who are these mythical people who did a 180 on the shot and public health measures re the coronavirus?
Certainly wasn't anyone I know. Opposition to the mRNA vaccine was well underway before the first one was administered. Those of us who were opposed stay opposed regardless of administration. The history if mRNA therapy and coronavirus vaccines was littered with failure- and still is. The so called mRNA vaccine wasn't a vaccine and was a failure. Everyone who received it had at least one case of covid AFTER receiving the shot.
I don't think if you go and analyze the commentariat here on this blog you're going to find any examples or shot and lockdown opponents who changed their minds.
thanks Eva, I really appreciate your response
**And when you say "not until birth," what makes you think we ought to draw a line sometime before birth? And where would that line be?**
Eva Marie answered in her own way; I'll answer in mine.
“The line” would be the formation of the *brain*.
As human beings we're *spiritual* beings; organically, we're merely mammals or just (sarcopterygian) fish. Nothing we perceive or think about occurs other than in (the Plato's cave of) our *minds*, which in turn is based in—as software resides in computer hardware—the brain. Though “higher” animals also possess brains exhibiting some or all of these features, human-grade consciousness, reason, thought, speech, emotion, sensory perception, even autonomic nervous functions such as heartbeat—plus trained skills that *feel* like one's fingers and hands possess them—all take place at various levels (indirectly) of the brain and (more specifically) levels of conscious or subconscious *mind*.
The time of conception is worlds different from a baby with a developed brain awaiting birth.
The argument that (human) “life begins at conception” is much the same (and as equally off-base) as the former, traditional medical definition of *death*—which is to say, “death” supposedly occurs at the instant when a physical pump in the chest, the heart, ceases to operate. But that is a moment when *every cell in the body* (as well as brain) is still alive. Body cells would then begin to die over minutes and hours as a result of not be subsequently fed and oxygenated by the (now noncirculating) blood, but not yet right then.
Thank God the foregoing definition has since been junked—due to its fundamental stupidity, which is to say: orthogonality to reality. The modern death definition of *brain death* acknowledges that human presence and existence occurs in the *mind*, supported by the brain.
A viable full-term baby prior to birth—and even long before—clearly already has an active and well developed human brain. Ergo, he or she is “human”: a situation vastly and qualitatively different from the mere, proverbial “clump of cells” which is all that's present for a long time in the aftermath of conception.
In this regard, note that the first, shadowiest trace of a *brain* as a distinguishable organ starts to take visible shape around the *3rd week* of gestation, but the initial *neuron* cells which act as the brain's interconnected wiring don't begin to link up and establish interconnections until about the *6-8 weeks* timeframe.
While an enormous amount of brain development occurs after that time (near that starting point it's hardly even a fish brain), that's the earliest moment when *brain-centered humanity* can be said to have really begun. Any time after the beginning of the 2nd trimester (much less the 3rd) is thus *well past* the point where arguments about whether “personhood” in a human sense has actually started, can rationally be conducted.
Turning orthogonally to the religious dimension of the equation, the foregoing is similar to the principle enunciated by St. Thomas Aquinas that an incipient human soul does not infuse the developing human fetus until the latter is ready to support it (proposing a timeframe of 40-90 days).
How are you going to enforce your ban on abortion in the first 16 weeks?
Are you talking to me? This is not my position at all. I want to outlaw all abortions. Shut down all the abortion clinics. I want to kick abortion out of medicine. Just like I want to kick assisted suicide out of medicine. I want to bring back the Hippocratic Oath for doctors, and boot any doctor who violates his Oath. It's not the job of a doctor to kill the very young or the very old. It's obscene.
I think emergency contraception (like Plan B) is a godsend for rape victims. I think it's protected under Griswold v. Connecticut, which is still good law. I would beg any woman who is raped to please, please go visit a doctor, and take a day-after pill if you want to avoid a pregnancy. It's not an abortion, and it's definitely not murder.
Are you going to strap women to a wall and feed them intravenously? Are you going to investigate every miscarriage and every heavy period as a potential murder? Are pregnant women going to have to wear drug monitors?
No, no, and no.
This is fantasy stuff. Is this happening now? Have you seen any of this in states where abortion is illegal?
Take off your Handmaid Tale's outfit and spare me this sci-fi dystopia talk. There are states where abortion is completely illegal. Remember? And you're rattling off hypotheticals, like we're still in the Roe v. Wade era, and we have to guess what a society that outlaws abortion is like.
We know what a state that outlaws abortion is like, because those states exist right now. Hello!
Michael, I very much agree with what you are saying. I've been making similar arguments for 20+ years. I've felt this way ever since I read Dr. Goldenring's theory in a book.
What I like about the theory is that right now, we are united, in all 50 states, in regard to when people die. And we ought to apply this understanding to the abortion controversy. I believe this is the federal rule, required by our equal protection clause: a state cannot dehumanize unborn children and allow them to be killed by their parents.
Our Constitution does not say when life begins, or when people die. That's a matter for state criminal law. But what the state laws say about the life/death point, that's the rule that ought to apply to all people, including unborn people. We ought to be precise about when babies die, and apply those rules to unborn babies.
States are free to change their death statutes, of course. But what's an abomination is to have authorities dehumanize a class of people and simply ignore the infanticide issue.
The developing baby depends 100% on her body - her health, food, medication, work, sleep, and willingness to accept medical risks. Those are (we might say) God’s laws.
I agree 100%. Unborn babies are completely dependent on Mom. But a legal right to do violence to the baby does not follow from this. Even if we were to argue that baby and mom are completely united -- one being -- Mom does not have a right to do self-harm. Our society frowns upon suicide. We frown upon people injecting heroin or crack or all the other forms of self-harm. We don't think people ought to hack off their own arms. Nobody has this unlimited right to harm themselves, not in the Constitution, not in the common law. That's not a thing. Self-harm is bad. And harming your unborn baby is bad.
Autonomy is obviously an important concept to humanity. I would just ask women to adopt the same attitude that men take in our society: I am responsible for this baby that I have created. I have moral obligations to my child. This is a sacred, beautiful thing. I should have love in my heart.
So, respectfully, I would ask humanity to take your own autonomy arguments seriously and apply them in your sexual lives. If you have reproductive sex, then you when you make a baby, that is your child. Regardless of birth control failure.
I think God keeps that first week of pregnancy in the dark so that we can quickly fix our mistakes (via Plan B) and fix horrific crimes (via Plan B), without the guilt and remorse of aborting our child.
let me tweak this...
I would just ask women to adopt the same attitude that men take in our society
(some men don't take this attitude, obviously)
what I want to say instead...
"I would just ask women to adopt the same attitude that we ask men to take in our society."
We ask men to take responsibility for the baby we have created (even accidentally). It is fair, right, and just to ask women to take responsibility for the baby they have created (even accidentally).
And I concede the point that men and women are not similarly situated when it comes to reproduction. In fact, that is the major difference between men and women. Women get pregnant, and men do not. But the ask that pro-lifers have ("Love your baby, take responsibility for your sex life and the baby you have made") applies both to men and women.
