J'Accuse

Well... a few minutes ago, 6:20 PM Eastern, one John Flannery of MSNBC said the magic words: "Gang of Six" in reference to the evil set of Supreme Court justices.

I'm a gonna sue. I copyrighted that years ago. It's mine. All mine.

By The Numbers - part the ninety fifth

Hate filled, Petty, Paranoid, Demented, Dictator Don has announced that he's going to invade (Blue) cities with troops. Can't have any crime in cities, now can we?

More than once, in these missives, the point has been offered that the Red states, being land of morons, will never be able to produce the stuff that the Blue cities have been doing since before the USofA was constituted. Killing the geese that lay the golden eggs. MAGAmorons.

Here's the list of Nobels by top 50 universities. It's as of 2023, but not likely to change much.

Of the 50, 10 are in Red states. And, no surprise, all are in good sized cities; not in shithole land. I wonder if the Marines will be sent to them?
21. Washington University (Missouri, so iffy)
26. Case Western (Ohio, so iffy)
27. Duke (well, ok)
31. Texas (well, ok)
37. UNC, Chapel Hill (iffy, that's Research Triangle)
38. UVA (well, ok)
40. Texas A&M (well, ok; but Vernon Smith is one. ick)
41. Vanderbilt (well, ok)
45. University of Miami (!!!)
48. Florida State (!!! read the caveat)
Here's a more complex list, which allows you to track Nobels by: year range, alumni/prof, category. So, for example, physics 1990 to 2024, just prof is almost all Blue. It's difficult to judge, since the list is global and the numbering is by number of Nobels, so lots of ties up to the 41st. A scan comes up with 3 Red state entries. May be.

The MAGAthugs are out to kill the geese that lay those golden eggs. Good on you. Party like it's 1829!!!!

Island Times

We're off for our annual pilgrimage to Block Island (no innterTubes for me). Alas, can't march for No Kings Day. But I just saw that Benioff has apologized for saying that Hate filled, Petty, Paranoid, Demented, Dictator Don should send troops to San Francisco. According to reporting, he was once a traitor to his class in supporting, in general, Democrats.

What the whole fiasco makes crystal clear: the Billionaire Class demands that their cities of residence (well... often in suburban palaces) be as well kept and quiet as those 'Private Islands' owned by those various cruise ship companies. A more untethered to reality bunch of folks can't possibly be. If it weren't for cities, and the energy they have, we'd still be plowing fields with mules and, mostly, dying by 50. Party like it's 1829!!! Yeoman farmers unite!!! And have a bunch of Darkies do the heavy work.

Data Integrity

[been sitting in the queue waiting for the right time. it is now.]

Regular reader knows my thoughts on the risk NSA pays to the Evangelical Reactionary Radical Retrograde Right Wingnuts in general and Mad Dictator Don specifically. Now Lunatic Laura Loomer appears to have instigated a data purge at NSA. Of course she would.

Believe it or don't: the NSA remit is to hoover up all electronic comms to and from, but recorded "over there", anyone not in the USofA. That, of course, includes all the chatter betwixt Mad Dictator Don, his minions, Vlad and his minions going back forever. Where's Edward Snowden when it matters? We American People need to know whether Mad Dictator Don has been and is selling out our country. Full stop.

Maracas

Once again, since Hate filled, Petty, Paranoid, Demented, Dictator Don is a transactional grifter: cui bono?

And the answer is: his fossil fuel friends. At one time, a long time, the USofA controled Venezuela's fossil fuels. As with most of what Hate filled, Petty, Paranoid, Demented, Dictator Don intends, it's back to the 19th century!! Party like it's 1829!!

Monroe was a Pussy. Hate filled, Petty, Paranoid, Demented, Dictator Don is a Dictator.

Target

Well... boy howdy!! Today's the day for the MacArthur announcement. Here's the NPR report. Note, if you will, this closing note in the report
The MacArthur Foundation is a financial supporter of NPR.
Now, if you read through the mini-bios, ask yourself: would Hate filled, Petty, Paranoid, Demented, Dictator Don is all about doing good for himself. Selfish is as selfish does. End of story.

Just a bunch of woke insurrectionists.

Games

By now you've heard that the Toronto Fucking Blue Jays have taken a Gatling gun to the vaunted Shithole Blue New York Yankees. So, consider the future. What if, by some miracle, there were still a Francophone Montreal team in their stead? What if either were to win the World Series? A fucking French team in the American World Series?? "Nuke Paris!!"

If Hate filled, Petty, Paranoid, Demented, Dictator Don does, in fact, invite the winner to the White House.

Do the Blue Jays say fuck you Don, you evil cocksucker?

Or do they stay in chilly Toronto (should the WS go the whole seven games, the last would be on November 1, just a couple of weeks before the Grey Cup!!). Boys of October, my ass) and ignore Degenerate, Psychopath Don?
