You could be right about the 'passed out under the table with Indy'.

re Chelsea & Godfrey

I remember Cory Doctorow (SF Author / Boing Boing blog co-founder) talking about how he demonstrated to his parents that he knew how to protest when he was around 5 years old. Basically, he marched up and down and repeated the slogans he had learned by rote at all the demonstrations he had been taken to.

It struck me a pure indoctrination - and creeped me out quite a bit.

Anyway I used to live near Chelsea (Sugar Works) and have been to the other one too

The neighbors were drinking & cooking Saturday supper. Wifey was watching Berkeley videos on youtube. She said Hubby had never actually seen Milo speak... could I recommend something to watch. I had no recommendations. Hubby said he on the fence over punching nazis... said he thinks Milo should be stopped if he's telling his audience to go lynch black people. Obviously he reaaally doent know Milo's schtick. The conversation got messy. Hubby said all kinds of ill-formed ideas: Ann Coulter should be stopped from speaking. Jeff Sessions should be punched for allowing Hitching Post punishment in prisons as Alabama Attorney General. A guy in a MAGA hat shouldnt be punched, but a nazi uniform in a jewish neighborhood clearly provoked any attack on him. Wifey interrupted every thought before ideas could develop... boozy A.D.D. I was too busy trying to keep the conversation linear-enough to make sense.... without pissing them off for me being bossy... so I didnt really assert my own opinions.

Slept a few hours.... then woke with a sinking panicky miserable feeling. Like when my life was falling apart. Watched a bunch of youtube stuff. Drank decaf. Put a burger on the hotplate, then some zucchini slices. Threw away a few old saved letters photos & music cds. Snuck a dead air conditioner & tube tv into a construction dumpster up the block. Took the dog to play fetch in a churchyard, with light-up ball. Listened to wrestling podcast. Birds are starting to chirp outside.

When you're so woke (or that much of a Clinton shill) that Bernie Sanders, a socialist Jew, looks like a white supremacist to you:
Bonus points: Marx and Darwin were also white supremacists! :lol:

When you overuse labels like "white supremacists" this way you enable real white supremacists (like Richard Spencer) to construct a narrative where they look more reasonable.

The insanity of the "woke" left is destroying the left and leaving room for the rise of the right, even the insane, extreme right.

One extra thought on the Huffington post hoax.

An improvement if the hoax had been the same but the hoaxer had been a Woman of Colour, who later revealed herself as a poe. HP could not have banned her for race or gender, so what would they have done ?

Watched a good doco on Oklahoma Bombing. I'd forgotten the whole mid 1990s "militia" wankery that diied a quick dead with 911.

Hadn't really heard about Ruby Ridge before either.

If sex workers were better organised they'd have expelled her long ago for bringing the profession into disrepute.
I'm sure our mechanical friend has some apposite quote from the Honest Courtesan, and more power to both of them in that regard.
With an introduction like that, and since it's apropos of some of your later comments on the world's oldest profession (though some taxonomists dispute the claim), how could I not rise to the occasion? :-)
The Daughters of Shamhat
May 24, 2012 by Maggie McNeill
She was not ashamed to take him, she made herself naked and welcomed his eagerness; as he lay on her murmuring love she taught him the woman’s art. For six days and seven nights they lay together, for Enkidu had forgotten his home in the hills; but when he was satisfied he went back to the wild beasts. Then, when the gazelle saw him, they bolted away; when the wild creatures saw him they fled. Enkidu would have followed, but his body was bound as though with a cord, his knees gave way when he started to run, his swiftness was gone. And now the wild creatures had all fled away; Enkidu was grown weak, for wisdom was in him, and the thoughts of a man were in his heart. – The Epic of Gilgamesh (Tablet I)
While I understand why many activists and allies argue decriminalization from human rights, libertarian or harm reduction viewpoints, and indeed use these arguments myself because they are all valid ones, it’s sad that almost nobody wants to acknowledge another, equally important factor: human society needs whores every bit as much as it needs farmers, soldiers, physicians and builders, and far more than it needs preachers, academic feminists, politicians and 90% of the other control freaks who work so assiduously at rousing the rabble against us. Our ancient ancestors understood this; it’s not accidental that in the Epic of Gilgamesh, the temple harlot Shamhat is the one who tames the wild man Enkidu, turning him from a beast to a man. ....
Apparently "Maggie" was trained originally as a librarian which may explain her erudition or knowledge of ancient mythologies.

In any case, I quite agree with her argument that "human society needs whores every bit as much as it needs farmers, soldiers, physicians and builders". Reminds me of reading (FTP, Kirbmarc: all the way through!) a book on the history of prostitution in Canada titled Red Lights on the Prairies by James H. Gray - a fascinating read for many reasons, not least because of a table listing the "Social Centers" in Winnipeg in 1910 and which included 50 Disorderly Houses, 3 Schools, and 16 Churches. Maybe arguably, seems clear that such houses of "ill-repute" played a not inconsiderable role in "How the West was Won".

But part of the many reasons why I think prostitution gets a far worse press than it deserves - as you kind of suggested in your later comments, most of the people in the profession are, or were in my experiences over several decades, rather nice people - some even possessed the proverbial "hearts of gold". :-) Quite seriously. However, I think it is really kind of criminal, a travesty of justice, that negative social attitudes to the profession tend just to give carte blanche for the demented and depraved to ride roughshod over the least protected and the most vulnerable - as in the Jack-the-Ripper case you alluded to, and as in the Green River Killer and Robert Pickton cases I've discussed elsewhere. Although I'll concede that many practitioners are periodically their own, and their profession's, worst enemy - as Stanley Baldwin suggested many years ago, "... power without responsibility — [is] the prerogative of the harlot throughout the ages"; maybe not surprisingly, Maggie wasn't particularly impressed with my use of that line of argument.
screwtape wrote:But isn't there something banal about Elyse discovering her new vocation? She seems to be following an old and tired stereotype:
<snip>
and in this setting sex work is a valid and respectable career? Well, at some level I'd say it's valid as it will stave off the consequences of some of the above factors, but I don't think it can be defended as a choice, when there weren't any alternatives open to her.
That issue of coercion is, I think, one of sticky wickets associated with the profession. We all, or almost all, have to deal with "the grim meat-hook realities of life" - as some author of detective thrillers put it many years ago (John D. MacDonald if I'm not mistaken). But the choices faced by some seem to be a little more stark or fewer than those faced by others.
screwtape wrote:From what I've read, and the known circumstances, it may be that doesn't apply to Elyse. But wouldn't it just be typical of a holier-than-thou ex-Skepchick who has been forced into prostitution by an evil combination of circumstances to be the very person who tells us we must respect sex-workers' choices? I guess she has to convince herself more than us.
Karma? Though I'm somewhat curious - did Elyse actually ever look down her nose on prostitutes before she supposedly had to become one herself?

So how come CC still has the letter if it was sent (and not replied to) ?
Did her parents photograph/copy it at the time for publication on twitter and her subsequent presidential bid?
Or was writing to Reagan at the time like writing to Santa for other 5 year olds?

It refers the anons from the chans that found Shia LeBouf's art flag "He Will Not Divide Us" wherever in the world he hid it and then stole it or planned to do so. Actually a bit of good detective worknow at times.

Some listings also imply a degree of dissatisfaction on the part of the customer; in the 1773 edition, Miss Dean exhibited "great indifference" while entertaining her client, busying herself by cracking nuts while he was "acting his joys".
No wonder she got a bad review.

The joke is referring to HWNDU being disrupted no matter how isolated it's staged.

There can be little doubt from the ombudsman's statement that she was actually forced out. He really let her have it.
He found that the blog contained hate speech and breached Section 5 of the Press Code, for being "inflammatory, discriminatory and targeting a specific group of people".


He felt it did not specifically propagate violence, but that if the actions advocated in the piece were put into practice, it would do just that.

"I therefore have little hesitation in labelling the contents of the blog as hate speech, and therefore in breach of the code."
Let me be painfully clear about this: If it is Pillay's belief that the gist of Garland's article is correct, she is free to believe that and pursue her view - but then she must know that this is not possible within the confines of the code.

I went to a party a few years ago-- mostly recent grads of Vassar and Davidson College-- and the first dozen & a half attendees had no idea who David Koresh or the Branch Davidians were. Until someone from Texas showed-up.

I see a Ruby Ridge documentary newly-listed on Netflix. As a kid, Randy Weaver was my neighbor. Our interactions were limited to him disliking me walking thru his apple yard as a shortcut. I had no personal affinity for guys laid-off from the tractor factory who would meet him at Sambo's for bible study. But I feel kinship with anyone who lived thru that economic blight. Those who werent there cant imagine what it was like.

I think my incidental tie caused me to place more significance on the govt fuckup at Ruby Ridge. Ive literally never-once had anyone react to me saying 'Randy Weaver was my neighbor' --with any flicker of comprehension; or a lively conversation. And I dont expect to be believed if I explain what happened at Ruby Ridge, or why it's disgraceful that it's not remembered.

I was responding to a post referring to the Atlantic. But there's also a Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO):
http://research.jisao.washington.edu/pd ... an2017.png

What exactly am I denying? I've already stated I agree the earth is warming, and the primary cause is very likely anthropogenic emissions of CO2. I do this because the science is pretty conclusive on it. But on most climate change issues beyond this, the science isn't conclusive at all, and it annoys me that people who should know better take catastrophic climate change as dogma, with climate change automatically to blame for just about any negative development. So is your definition of 'denier' someone who disagrees with you on any aspect of the climate change issue? If not, I again ask, what am I denying that's obviously true?

I was responding to a post referring to the Atlantic. But there's also a Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO):
http://research.jisao.washington.edu/pd ... an2017.png

What exactly am I denying? I've already stated I agree the earth is warming, and the primary cause is very likely anthropogenic emissions of CO2. I do this because the science is pretty conclusive on it. But on most climate change issues beyond this, the science isn't conclusive at all, and it annoys me that people who should know better take catastrophic climate change as dogma, with climate change automatically to blame for just about any negative development. So is your definition of 'denier' someone who disagrees with you on any aspect of the climate change issue? If not, I again ask, what am I denying that's obviously true?
Well, clearly you are laying the pipes for...nah, I mistook you for a knee-jerk science denier. My apologies.

Macron and Le Pen in run off for the French presidency .. 'Far Right' Le Pen the new "Nazi fascist" hate figure or the globalist EU (Merkel) poodle Macron.

Macron does seem to be particularly weird, even for a froggie ;)

Dude, the world must seem awfully small to you. 'Hey, that guy's on the TV again - Boutros Boutros-Ghali. Yeah, delivered icecream in my neighborhood when I was a kid.' You're like Forrest Gump, albeit decidedly smarter but with a dark edge. Kind of like a cross between Gump and Charles Bukowski.

You're gonna tell us next that Bukowski was a former drinking buddy, right?

Mate, I think we already knew it would be impossible to beat you in a game of six degrees of Kevin Bacon.

I think 'carpitalism' involves profiting from investments in trout farms.

Meanwhile in Kraütländ, the AFD has oriented itself further to the Right. Party leader Frauke Petry, who has herself used nationalist slogans before, wanted to steer the party more towards the political centre again, but failed.

As a consequence, she decided to not run in the coming election (though remains in charge of the party). Others have set the course to what's called “fundamental opposition” to all other political parties of the established spectrum. That places them pretty much outside the pluralistic spectrum. The AFD is considered a party with proximity to the New Right, with several key members beyond “national conservatism”, with connections to the Neo Nazi scene (for example Bernd Höcke). However, since this is widely known now, and a burden, they might exclude him — I bet they don't.

The big picture is similar to what goes on elsewhere. The AFD started as a sort of “Liberals” party (which they effectively replaced), i.e. right libertarian or classical liberal in orientation, with a strong dose of Anti-Eu. They used to have conservative liberals in the lead, including the president of the organisation that represents employers/business. But for about two years, they are co-opted by the Identitarian Movement and New Right. At first, they tried to balance both sides, the more moderate and the Far Right fringe but then a schism occured and the more moderate side was defeated, and founder and others left. Frauke Petry is pretty far right wing herself, but apparently not right enough anymore.

Another day, another guest, shilling for Alex Jones. Towards the end. Surely, that part was unauthorized, Sargon vehemently disagrees and is now angry that a guest has included it (or several other ways how this becomes “nothing” yet again). :dance:

Sorry Aneris (and everyone) - I was not attempting to trigger any serious political discussion with that vid.

But since we have started anyway - has anyone checked out 'The New Centre' channel?

Sargon is just like Noam Chomsky. He is really a liberal (like Aneris) only, like Chomsky he only likes to criticize his own.

I don't know what this means, but neither Chomsky nor I are liberals (except perhaps in the broad US sense).

Well - if you ask the right people - the National Socialists were socialists ie nascent communists

Also as communism involves central management of resources, it will be attractive to any authoritarian who wants control over their society.

It seems possible that if viewed though the correct lens history has produced no right-wing dictators or totalitarian governments at all.

Or conversely if you ask the right people all authoritarians are actually right wing and the Real Left could never be authoritarian. Spin, dancers, spin!
