    This story gets better and better. FTX had no accounting department, no idea how much cash was on hand or where it was, and didn’t even know how many employees it had:

    THIS IS FUCKING INFURIATING

    [quotint a NYT piece]

    As might be expected for a young man raised on dinner-table discussions of moral theory, Mr. Bankman-Fried is also an admirer of Peter Singer, the Princeton University philosopher widely considered the intellectual father of “effective altruism,” an approach to philanthropy in which donors strategize to maximize the impact of their giving.

    Peter Singer is BUTCHER. His ‘effective altruism’ is concordant w/Mengele’s, as in the disabled should be dispensed with. Why do people not KNOW this?

    An event with Australian philosopher Peter Singer has been cancelled in New Zealand after outcry over his public stance on the morality of killing some disabled newborns.

    Singer, best known as a proponent of the “effective altruism movement”, has previously written that parents should be allowed to euthanise disabled babies if they wish to.

    In his 1979 book Practical Ethics, Singer included conditions like Down syndrome, spina bifida and haemophilia among disabilities that make “the child’s life prospects significantly less promising than those of a normal child”. He has argued that parents of children with these conditions should be allowed to end their child’s life.

    Windswept House is a novel penned by the author who actually was involved (as one of the good guys) in some horrific stuff. He was a Professor of Palaeontology as well as being a Catholic priest and a trained and a active and practicing exorcist for a diocese. He’s written a lot of non-fiction as well, but Windswept House is his most famous book.

    As previously reported, the NEA has been distributing “safe space” badges to teachers across the country. The badge has a QR code which leads students to sites containing sexually explicit and pornographic content.

    Here an elementary school teacher promotes it:

    https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1596171308559405057

    Here’s the site the QR code takes you to

    What is, “I’m HERE”?
    We are excited that you are willing to partner with the NEA-LGBTQ+ Caucus by wearing your “I’m Here” badge. By wearing our badge, you tell everyone that you are a safe person to discuss LGBTQ+ issues. Affirming LGBTQ+ youth couldn’t be easier than by identifying yourself as a safe and supportive person.

    Use the QR code on the back of the badge to access the I’m HERE Toolkit with links to a variety of LGBTQ+ issues, organizations, and resources.

    Drowning death of crypto ‘visionary’ Nikolai Mushegian fuels conspiracy theories

    https://nypost.com/2022/11/09/drowning-death-of-crypto-visionary-fuels-conspiracy-theories/

    A brilliant young cryptocurrency pioneer named Nikolai Mushegian tweeted on Oct. 28 that intelligence agencies were going to murder him — and was found dead on a Puerto Rico beach hours later.

    “CIA and Mossad and pedo elite are running some kind of sex trafficking entrapment blackmail ring out of Puerto Rico and Caribbean islands,” Mushegian, a developer of blockchain-based decentralized finance platforms who wanted to end global banking corruption, tweeted at 4:57 a.m. “They are going to frame me with a laptop planted by my ex [girlfriend] who was a spy. They will torture me to death.”

    The 29-year-old then left his $6 million beach house in the luxe Condado area of San Juan, Puerto Rico, for a walk. A little after 9 a.m., a surfer off Ashford Beach, a spot considered so rife with riptides that local hotels warn against ocean swimming, discovered Mushegian’s body in the waves. He was wearing his clothes and had his wallet on him, sources told The Post.

    Interesting dilemma.

    No communication from my friend for over a week. Tried text every day, Phone call goes directly to voice mail.

    I have an iPhone, when you text and phone is active and you are not blocked bubble is blue. If phone is off, or battery dead or you are blocked on iMessenger then sent bubble is green.

    Sent bubble is now green as of yesterday. Timing suggests friend’s battery died.

    Should I call police to ask them to do a welfare check?

    Or should I just forget about it and find a new friend?

    Nah, going to forget about it…..

    Hey anyone here want to be my new friend?

    OK have it your way but if you do not respond then tomorrow I will ask the police to do a welfare check on your home.

    No response from you to my texts, calls or emails for over a week.

    Is Thanksgiving a “Myth” or a “Problematic Holiday”? What Nobody Tells You About Indians and Other Native Americans

    https://no-pasaran.blogspot.com/2022/11/thanksgiving-myth-or-problematic.html

    And as I are one – Shawnee, specifically, my Native American ancestor(s) having married into the McKee family at the area of Ft. Pitt PA – The Iroquois Nations were intent on wiping out everyone (altho contrary to this piece, I think some Huron survived in Canada). In self defense, the Shawnee hooked up w/the Delaware to fight them.

    The Huron were fierce. One of the best movies I’ve ever seen is BLACK ROBE. It’s about a French Jesuit who comes to this continent to convert (who DOES THAT? This place was brutal) and encountered the Huron. Trust me, the Wehrmacht would have run away. The Iroquois may have had good reason for wanting them wiped out. 6 nations didn’t form up just to party.

    Oh just stop right there and pull every passport in this family’s possession

    Documents in the failed crypto exchange FTX’s bankruptcy recently revealed that the firm–through its sister hedge fund Alameda–infused $11.5 million into Moonstone Bank, formerly Farmington State Bank. As more questions are raised than answers, the bank’s chief digital officer Janvier Chalopin attempted to clear the air about the curious stake.

    The investment, according to Chalopin, was a “seed funding… to execute [their] new plan of being a tech focused bank.” He added that the investment was for 10% of the bank, valuing Moonstone at $115 million – a considerable boost in value considering the bank had just $10 million in customer deposits and only 25 staff at the time.

    In March, Alameda spent $11.5 million on Farmington State Bank’s parent company, FBH. According to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the bank’s net worth was $5.7 million; it was the 26th-smallest bank in the country out of 4,800 at the time of the investment. It only had a single location and three staff as of this year prior to the acquisition. It didn’t even have online banking or a credit card.

    But it is not only the peculiar stake that raised some questions. Back in 2020, Farmington State Bank was acquired by FBH whose chairman was Jean Chalopin, Janvier’s father. He is also the chairman of Deltec Bank, which, like FTX, is based in the Bahamas–but its most well-known client is a $65-billion crypto firm called Tether.

    https://thedeepdive.ca/moonstone-bank-is-still-waiting-to-see-what-happens-with-ftx-alameda-11-5-million-seed-investment/

    What we have here is the world’s smallest bank. Physically, it’s smaller than my garage. It has exactly 3 employees. So right away you know it’s BS

    TETHER. Yes, well TETHER is SUPPOSED to be the backstop for crypto, holding actual dollars (in the event you wondered how crypto had any value – it doesn’t)

    Except it’s never been audited, nobody knows if it actually has dollars – or rubles or anything else.

    FTX on Steroids: Is “Tether” the Biden World’s Crypto BCCI?

    The story you’re about to hear concerns the third-largest crypto-currency on the planet, which you’ve probably never heard of. It is a story of how a former Disney child-actor — a Jeffrey Epstein associate who was embroiled in an under-age sex scandal — bizarrely emerged as one of the world’s strangest crypto-currency moguls. It is the story that raises serious questions as to whether an entire cryptocurrency is a scam — effectively a private money-printer. And to top it all off, there is reason to believe that if this cryptocurrency is the scam that it appears to be, it will nonetheless be allowed to continue because of this particular cryptocurrency’s usefulness to intelligence agencies in funneling money to foreign rebel groups and jihadis with plausible deniability.

    Sound crazy? Sound interesting? Strap in, it’s about to get wild.

    According to this story it was Milo who brought along Fuentes.

    Fuentes was an early lifetime ban by conspiring big tech platforms. Milo was next, then recently Kanye.

    Kanye for Black Israelite comments. Milo for saying he got past being abused as a child and thought his situation as a kid was ok. Fuentes apparently for Holocaust denial. Kanye and Milo are big Trump supporters. Fuentes – I’ve never seen the content that got him banned. Only watched two videos of him. So I barely know who he is. But in the two videos he was a crass lowlife speaker. But what he was saying is not that much different from what Sam Harris says freely and openly without getting banned. HArris the popular intellectual of the left said Biden could have dead babies in his basement and he would still vote Biden over Trump. Harris would have a Holocaust if he was allowed. His barb was much more pointed and intelligent than Fuentes.

    Fuentes seems to be a non actor? The left has over attributed his so that his voice is drowned out so I can’t be sure what he really means. And I have never had an interest in him. I imagine will hear more.

    The media on this meeting was atrocious. You can see the liberal media trying to narrate Trump as an unstable person that blows up over small things. IT’s a constant message. I know that to be false.

    No. Kanye is bi-polar, doesn’t take his meds and has close to zero impulse control. He likes Trump and wouldn’t do anything to deliberately hurt him.

    Nick Fuentes is a pig and all he would have been thinking about is how it would have made his name all bright and shiny

    Milo is the only one who is politically smart enough to have thought it thru but apparently he didn’t. Maybe he has just been lonely in the cultural wilderness

    Before I knew anything about his views I saw him harassing Ben Shapiro. Walking to temple on the Jewish Sabbath with his young children. And there was Fuentes yelling at him on the street in front of the kids, having it all filmed. Fuentes thought he was SO cool – Dude, I went up against Shapiro, yea man!

    He’s 100% asshole and if I ever encounter him I’m punching him in the throat just because that would be fun.

    From one of the best Yinzers ever, Selena Zito

    MONONGAHELA, Pa. — As you climb out of the valley in this riverfront town, the railroad tracks and patchwork of industries become a distant memory as lush woodlands overtake the roadways. Suddenly they give way to a stone villa tucked into the hillside, surrounded by a clearing filled with acres and acres of grapevines. It looks like a postcard from Tuscany.

    Welcome to Ripepi Winery and Vineyard, a sprawling family operation that began as a way for Rich Ripepi to remain connected to the traditions of winemaking brought here from Italy by his grandfather. It has become an award-winning winery located right here in Appalachia.

    “This all started because of Prohibition,” said Mr. Ripepi, pointing to the fields behind him. “When Prohibition came, the law came that you were allowed to make 200 gallons of wine per family; naturally, all the Italians said, ‘Well, we’re going to start making wine!’”

    After Prohibition, he said, the family just continued making wine because it was cheaper than buying it.

    Mr. Ripepi grew up in the nearby village of Gallatin, which has now all but disappeared. “My family lived on the third floor; my grandfather, grandmother, and Uncle Vince lived on the second floor; and we had the grocery store on the first floor,” he said of the old Green Front Market.

    Mr. Ripepi is standing in the middle of the vineyards with his daughter, Janelle Ripepi-D’Eramo, who is using her marketing, social media and event planning skills to elevate her father’s labor of love in the Pennsylvania wine market.

    Ms. Ripepi-D’Eramo said her great-grandfather would go down to Pittsburgh’s Strip District every year to pick up the grapes shipped in from California for the entire village of Gallatin: “Then every family made their own wine, but they also did it all together.”

    Mr. Ripepi said he didn’t want to lose “that purpose, that sense of community, working together and being part of something bigger than self.” So as the elders passed, he was thrilled winemaking came to his home after he returned home from college and started his family.

    “All the winemaking ended up at my house; my uncles, friends, everybody would come over. We probably made 10 barrels of wine, and everybody would take it to their house,” he said.

    Mr. Ripepi double majored in chemistry and geology and began his career as a chemistry teacher, then went into the family surface coal mining business as a young father in the 1970s and 1980s. In 1987 he started planting grapes.

    “We owned this 60 acres here,” he says, pointing to the woods surrounding the vineyard. “I told my wife one day it would be nice if we planted a couple of grapes so that we could pass the tradition on to the kids.”

    From my Antigone email

    Herodotus had gone off on one of those tangents of his again, and (as you can appreciate) my mind started to wander. He was talking, I think, about the sea he insisted on calling “the Red One”, but it was clear to the rest of the cocktail party that he did in fact mean the Persian Gulf. Well, let me tell you two things (in strict confidence): not only is the sea-water in question pointedly navy (more “dirty curacao” than “wine-dark”), but there is actually a totally different sea on the other side of the Arabian Peninsula which most of us folk call the “Red Sea”. But bless the fella: he sticks to his guns, and fires merrily away without a care in the world. I do love him so.

    Anyhow, Herry-D was talking about how the Canaanites, although now based in Phoenicia, originally came from a place on the west coast of Persia. That place where Uncle Pliny says the Catharrei (or was is it, in fact, the “nomad Catharrei”?) live. Well, mere mention of the name made my mind wander: for I had heard tell, from a sprig-carrying, sea-sprayed, salty-tongued dove, that there was in fact a ball-based sporting contest currently going on in Catarrh/Kertar/Qatar (hard to say how to spell this, given the notoriously opaque Columbine dialect). Well, I’ll ‘ave a bit o’ that. So I will be reporting from the “Three Continents [i.e. World] Cup” next Sunday! Do wish me luck… as I am, forsooth, Antigone, and I am not sure how that will play out on the ground…

    https://phys.org/news/2022-11-cylinder-magnetic-triples-energy-output.html

    This is a much better explanation of this effect.

    According to Pascal Loiseau, a plasma physicist at the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA), these results are “remarkable” and constitute a proof of concept for magnetic assistance at NIF.

    The NIF team ran experiments using a cylinder made from this alloy along with a fuel capsule filled with pure deuterium, a form of hydrogen. They applied a 26-tesla magnetic field by passing a current through a wire coil wrapped around the cylinder, just before turning on the lasers. Compared with experiments without the magnetic field, the laser-generated hot spot increased in temperature by 40%. The energy output, measured by counting the number of neutrons produced during fusion, increased by 3 times.

    To reduce the risk to equipment and to lower infrastructure expenses, the NIF team simplified the configuration for these initial experiments. They reduced the laser power, kept the fuel at room temperature, and used deuterium alone. In future higher power experiments that use two forms of hydrogen fuel (deuterium and tritium), Moody anticipates a second effect that will boost performance.

    This is the important bit and explains how there is a 40% increase in the temperature of the fuel pellet. It is just trapped in the 26 Tesla field for longer and so has time to absorb more x-ray that convert to heat energy and break down the Column barrier allowing the nuclei to fuse. Using BOTH Deuterium and Tritium ( Hydrogen with added one neutron of two neutrons) is heavier as well and so has created inertia that holds it together for longer. It’s all a matter of timing and inertia that allows the Heavy Hydrogen isotopes to just and emit enough energy to become self sustaining.

    High-energy particles generated during the nuclear reactions will become trapped by the field lines. These charged particles will spend more time depositing energy within the hot spot, providing more heat before they escape.

    Being an old retired guy in an RV at the edge of a forest. Life tries to speed up your decay and reclaim you. If I don’t walk every day and read part of a book everyday I can feel the tendrils creeping.

    I find I like some music for memories and some for stimulating new neural connections. Something about that covid shot. Been searching other countries for resonant stuff. Acapella, Cultural. I’m super tone deaf. That shot seems to have interrupted my neural pathways around logic. You can put a double negative in a logic sequence and I now have to stop and think about it. Used to be automatic. Testing different types of music to see if any clear me up. Japanese flute seemed to have a strong effect of some type. Not sure if it was good or bad.

    Thinking of picking up a calculus book again. I remember math and statistics as really challenging my mind.

Mom made the back into a bed/playpen for us – Mom and Dad traded off driving. We stopped at hotels to bathe and sleep maybe every other day. Other than that it was driving straight thru from Pennsylvania to California.

    And the memory I have from that trip is traveling DOWN a very long highway at about midnight – it was Alburquerque – and seeing all the shooting stars. We were very high up, there were lights below us and shooting stars above. Dad woke us up to see it. I have no idea what road we must have been on.

    Assisted suicide plans for children unveiled at Toronto’s Sick Kids hospital

    https://www.catholicregister.org/item/28133-assisted-suicide-plans-for-children-unveiled-at-toronto-s-sick-kids-hospital

    read this

    TORONTO – In a prestigious medical journal, doctors from Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Children have laid out policies and procedures for administering medically assisted death to children, including scenarios where the parents would not be informed until after the child dies.

    I cannot deal with this. I simply cannot.

    An example needs to be made. Hang 20 medical staff on piano wire, from light poles outside the hospital should be a salutary message to all. At least it might cause the remaining medical staff to think again about the potential fallout of their actions.

    But, but, but…..the Poley Bears!

    A massive global analysis found that green vegetation on Earth is increasing at a rate that offsets climate change.

    A paper called “Greening of the Earth and its drivers” was published in 2016 by 32 authors from 24 institutions in eight countries that analyzed satellite data, and concluded there had been a roughly 14% increase in green vegetation over the last 30 years.

    The biggest driver of this increase, according to the study, is the extra carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which has added the equivalent of a new continent of green vegetation twice the size of the mainland United States.

    Notably, this fact is incredibly inconvenient to the World Economic Forum and global governments seeking to control their populations with deindustrialization measures in the name of tackling climate change.

    From Human Progress:

    This greening is good news. It means more food for insects and deer, for elephants and mice, for fish and whales. It means higher yields for farmers; indeed, the effect has probably added about $3 trillion to farm incomes over the last 30 years. So less land is needed to feed the human population and more can be spared for wildlife instead.

    Yet this never gets mentioned. In their desperation to keep the fearmongering on track the activists who make a living off the climate change scare do their best to ignore this inconvenient truth. When they cannot avoid the subject, they say that greening is a temporary phenomenon that will reverse in the latter part of this century. The evidence for this claim comes from a few models fed with extreme assumptions, so it cannot be trusted.

    But don’t expect the media to report on this important study about vegetation INCREASING on Earth, because that would interfere with the globalists’ climate change fear mongering.

    Ukrainian Consequences: Who Will Win…And When?
    by Peter Zeihan on November 28, 2022

    Want to know when the war in Ukraine will end and who will emerge victorious? Unfortunately, I don’t have my magic 8-ball on me, but I can give you a timeline on when we should all be able to answer those questions – May.

    Before we get there, let’s not forget about the path ahead. Both sides will come face-to-face with Mother Nature in all her glory – meaning mud, rain, snow, cold…all of it. The Ukrainians will have time to fix up those shiny new toys they captured. The Russians will push more and more troops to the front lines.

    As all of those pressures compound over the next 5+ months, both sides will be ready to duke it out come May.

    @ coldwarrior:
    Actually the European conflict has serious links into what Peterson was saying. I feel for the Ukies but they have been sold a turkey yet they are fighting magnificently for their homeland. Zelinsky is an absolute psychopath however and the longer this conflict goes on the more that is showing. I also feel for the Russian people as they are probably, at the base level on the right side of history, when it comes to the modern ‘culture wars’. They too are badly led by another suspected psychopath and are deep into a meat grinder that is linked to their national history.

    Just in:
    The New South Wales Supreme Court has just ruled that the State erred in fining people for non-mask wearing, sun bathing at the beach, sitting on a park bench and knitting, travelling more than 5 Km from one”s home, etc…etc … etc. So far 33,134 fines have been refunded, with tens of thousands still due for a full refund and an apology by the State Government. Now the assault and unlawful arrest against the NSW Police Force is the next task in a long question that marks the over reach of governance powers during the last 2 years of lock downs.

    I’m now waiting or the Victorian State government to own up and refund the tens of thousands of fines on the State’s citizens. So far the Victoria Police have only been required to face charges against a Victoria Police sergeant for walking up behind a citizen calmly chatting to another cop, grabbing the guy by the neck and ‘clotheslining’ him into the concrete train station floor, fracturing his head and damaging his shoulder. The cop was found guilty but his case was the only one charged for the hundreds of unlawful arrests and egregious assaults on citizens by Victoria Police. Waiting ….waiting …. Oh Commissar Dan Andrews’ government just got re-elected so there is no ‘day in court for the Victorian citizenry.

    We were getting our deck rebuilt this week, and somebody somewhere along the line did a very much half assed job.

    It turns out that they didn’t put any flashing at all on half the deck, and on the other half they installed it incorrectly. So, all the water since this work was done has been diverted against the house and is causing damage underneath. They’ve had to repair that before they can do the rest of the deck work.

    The sprinkler heads are probably connected to a 1/2 inch line. You can replace the heads with an 1/2 inch to 1/4 inch adapter and run 1/4 inch tubes to a drip irrigation set up that lets you water all your containers of plants, shrubs and anything else you put there that needs watering.

    Status of CBDCs Worldwide

    In May 2020, 35 countries were considering a CBDC according to the Atlantic Council CBDC Tracker.

    In November 2021, Visual Capitalist summarised the status of CBDCs using data from the Atlantic Council CBDC Tracker. Although widespread adoption of CBDCs is still far away, Visual Capitalist wrote, research and experiments are making notable strides forward:

    81 countries representing 90% of global GDP are exploring CBDCs.
    The share of central banks actively engaging in CBDC work grew to 86% in the last 4 years.
    60% of central banks are conducting experiments on CBDCs (up from 42% in 2019) and 14% are moving forward to development and pilot arrangement.
    The Bahamas is one of five countries currently working with a CBDC – the Bahamian Sand Dollar.
    Sweden and Uruguay have shown interest in a digital currency. Sweden began testing an “e-krona” in 2020, and Uruguay announced tests to issue digital Uruguayan pesos as far back as 2017.
    The People’s Bank of China has been running CBDC tests since April 2020. In all, tens of thousands of citizens have participated, spending 2 billion yuan, and the country is poised to be the first to fully launch a CBDC.
    The UK central bank was less optimistic about rolling out a CBDC in the near future, Visual Capitalist noted last year. “The proposed digital currency – dubbed “Britcoin” – is unlikely to arrive until at least 2025.”

    175 | November 30, 2022 8:47 pm

    @ eaglesoars:
    The devilling mixture consists of Worcestershire sauce, mustard, butter, cayenne pepper, salt and black pepper.[1]

    James Boswell described devilling during the 18th century, although it was not until the 19th and 20th centuries that devilled kidneys grew in popularity as a breakfast dish. During the Edwardian era, the dish was typically served in gentlemen’s clubs,[2] and was part of a cuisine which also included items such as kedgeree or kippers. In the modern era it has mostly been promoted as a supper dish instead of at breakfast.[3]

    Variations
    British celebrity chef Rick Stein created a recipe combining devilled kidneys with wild mushrooms to create an entrée.[4] The dish is often included in cookbooks, with versions gracing the covers of books by the Canteen restaurant,[5] as well as books by The Hairy Bikers.[1] Chef Fergus Henderson described Caroline Conran’s version of devilled kidneys as “the best recipe, ever!”,[6] and Marco Pierre White created devils kidneys for the celebrities in one of his seasons of ITV’s Hell’s Kitchen.[7]

    So why would Michelle release a second autobiography disguised as a self-help book? Michelle told an audience at the Obama Foundation in 2018, “Barack and I don’t do things incidentally, there’s a strategy.” I am convinced The Light We Carry is part of Michelle’s strategy to become president in 2024. I chronicle Michelle’s real story in my book and film of the same name, Michelle Obama 2024: Her Real Life Story and Plan for Power.

Every time I come around the corner, I think it’s the police.

    There is some smallish strip in Nepal that might be a bit higher buy the highest runway I ever arrived at (as a passenger) was La Paz in Bolivia. It was around 4,000 metres and the Boeing 727 landed at just under ‘cruising speed’. I thought that the tyres were going to fly off the rims. The read door seals were all shot and you could see light through them and they squealed terribly in the jetstream. The stewardesses just chewed gum and sat there in their dayglow orange or green micro-mini skirts as if there was nothing out of the ordinary.

    @ Aussie Infidel:

    I don’t think I’d want to land a 727 at Telluride. The biggest thing they fly into there at the moment is the Fairchild-Dornier 328JET.

    Telluride Regional Airport covers 542 acres (219 ha) and has one runway, 9/27, 7,111 by 100 feet (2,167 by 30 m).[2] The runway is on a plateau and still dips slightly in the center, although the dip was more pronounced prior to a renovation in 2009. It can be a challenging but beautiful[5] approach for pilots. In the past during winter months, about 20%[citation needed] of the scheduled commuter airline flights were diverting to other airports because of abruptly adverse landing conditions. This is not unusual since other mountain airports like Sun Valley have similar statistics.[6] When flying to the Telluride Regional Airport, pilots must be aware of unique issues impacting the airfield including high terrain exceeding 14,000 feet (4,300 m), as well as the airport’s location on a plateau with a thousand-foot (300 m) drop to the San Miguel River below.[7] Private business jets operate into the Telluride Regional Airport on a regular basis. Other scheduled passenger jet service is available via the Montrose Regional Airport (MTJ), the Durango-La Plata County Airport (DRO) and the Grand Junction Regional Airport (GJT)

    I agree. It was pretty bland. I took a teeny tiny bite to show #1 toddler son that it was yummy. Just bland. Disgusting but bland.. Yummmmm I said and he was away and scoffed the lot.

    As he ate his ‘little chickens’ I remembered that the Kuka-kuka of the Fly River in Papua all had CJD from cannibalising other members of the tribe.

    🙂

    They ALL seemed to have CJD

    #1 young son as a toddler seemed to survive many meals of crumbed ‘little chickens’ however, until I told him, one day, that he was eating brains. He never ate brains again and on occasion still brings up the topic about how his daddy tricked him into eating ‘little chickens’!

    Just got back from the hospital with Willow. She developed open sores on her head, paw, hip, throat. The sore on her throat is as large as my hand. Now she’s working on one on her lower lip. This happened w/in the last 12 hours.

    They GUESS it’s an allergic reaction to something, perhaps an insect bite. I can’t get any meds down her, she’s refusing all food/water.

    I’m at a loss. She won’t even look at me. I don’t know if she’s just pissed off at me or if she’s decided to die.

    one day i vomited up the peas and everything else all over the dinner table, looked him straight in the eye and said, in a very serious and flat tone, ‘i told you, i don’t like peas’.

    i was 5. my mom till tells that story. i never had to eat peas again.

    A great British delicacy in the north is mushy peas!

    Usually served with fish and chips or pork pie. Real 5% malt vinegar is the topping of choice.

    However these mushed peas are not the succulent and sweet peas Americans know of as peas. They are larger and mature peas. They are dried. Much like the beans you soak in water for weeks then make bean soup out of.

    @ eaglesoars:
    Apparently that’s the drop – Taibbi’s chronology. Didn’t know he was in the middle of it.

    Don’t get me started on okra. I still haven’t learned how to cook that.

    I learned to cook okra and greens from a black nco from bama.

    She referred to peas from a baby. It’s a head scratcher.

    Yes.

    He certainly lined up all of the usual suspects and knocked them off one by one. Never piss off someone who can pitch a solid argument.

    I can’t wait for Musk to drop his next bomb!

    Hard peas in pea soup don’t do much for me. Mush ’em up and throw some ham in the pot.

    Is there ANY other way?

    Well, don’t mush them. Ham is a good choice but also use the bone. Add some small macaroni. Diced carrots.

    And don’t forget the nice Chianti and herbed bread

    ok, what are we cooking here?

    “I went in to make a deposit at a branch here in Kansas about three or four weeks after we’d opened up the account,” Brownback told us, “And the teller there said ‘That account’s been closed.’ And I go, ‘What?’ and they said, ‘That account’s been closed. Your funds will be sent to you in a couple of weeks.’ And then later they came back and said, ‘Well, if you’ll disclose who gives more than 10% of your funds to you and your criteria for supporting candidates as a 501c4 we’ll consider re-opening up the account.’

    Brownback says he received an apology letter but still doesn’t know why the bank made the decision.

    ‘Brownback’ is Sam Brownback

    I don’t know what’s going on here. More at the link

    @ eaglesoars:
    We have more cats, but they don’t eat 400 pounds of food a month. Forty or so, plus 120 pounds of waste, but you have more of that to deal with too.

    Willow is home, finally, from her tour of the local hospitals. I’m completely trashed and going back to bed. Mia The Psycho Puppy has reverted to sanity for the moment now that her world is back in order. It’s a rainy, gloomy morning here so a good time for quiet.
