Honestly, it was a pretty usual week. I did the usual things at home, did my usual work, went to my usual classes, and attended a usual conference held at the university. The conference was on Glass Sustainability- apparently, we’re running out of sand and have to step up recycling. Oh, and reduce our carbon footprint in manufacturing glass because of the Climate Catastrophe and our collapsing ecosystem. When I casually referred to CO2 as “plant food,” many frowns and talk of shunning. The usual.
And as usual, birthdays, including that of a childhood hero of mine; a guy who never heard of the “i before e” rule; a guy who was a bit scattered; the greatest composer you’ve never heard of- but you’d recognize nearly everything he wrote; a guy who directed one of the two best sci fi films ever made; Mister Asterisk who was not a Gaul; a guy who never let science stand in the way of his politics; a chick who fucked Fidel and produced a crashing mediocrity; a guy who was no Clive Bunker; and, speaking of a crashing mediocrity…
And the usual sort of Links, maybe with an extra dash of snark.

“U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor on Friday permitted Yeshiva University to refuse to recognize an LGBT student club that the Jewish school in New York City has said violates its religious values, temporarily blocking a judge’s ruling ordering it to allow the group.”
Jews are against the gay?
Apparently the more conservative sort are, just like Christians. There is that pesky biblical prohibition against sodomy, after all. AFAIK, the Bible is mute about girl-on-girl.
I’ve never cared to go over them — but from what I hear, I’m sure the Songs of Solomon probably allude to it somewhere….
Is it just sodomy, or is all of the Hot Man on Man action forbidden?
I had a lesbian boss that brought that up. She then suggested maybe lesbians are God’s chosen people. On another note, she was probably the most level headed boss I ever had.

“Some parents in Chester said they’re concerned after learning that the person hired to organize the town’s 300th anniversary celebration is a registered sex offender.”

Yeah – that article leaves out some critical details given all the stupid laws over the years about “16 year old sexts 16 year old girlfriend has to register as sex offender for life”. Is it worth asking follow up questions on the city’s part and checking on the answers?

No. The demonization of any and all attempts to question the result of what may or may not have been a flawed process is the really big deal. There was a vote, and the election was certified. This is exactly how American “democracy” is supposed to work, regardless of what you think of the result. Silencing dissenting voices is a characteristic of a different sort of system.

History in the making
The Justice Department wants the special master to move relatively quickly, wrapping up its review in five weeks, by October 17. Trump proposed 90 days.
The Justice Department also argued that the special master shouldn’t touch any documents with classification markings and that the review shouldn’t include any executive privilege considerations. Trump’s lawyers, meanwhile, want the special master to review “all seized materials,” including classified records.
Whomever ends up getting appointed to fill the role will immediately be catapulted into the center of one of the most consequential criminal investigations in modern American history.
We’re gonna lynch this guy, and we don’t want anybody holding us back.

Excellent. It’s good to hear you broke free.
Also broke free
The two sides haven’t agreed on much throughout the litigation, and it’s no surprise that their proposals submitted Friday spell out vastly different visions of how the special master should conduct their review.
For instance, both sides also disagree over who should pay for the special master. Trump’s lawyers proposed that the costs incurred by the special master should be “split evenly” between him and the US government. The Justice Department told the judge that they think Trump should pay for the whole thing, because he’s the one who is “requesting the special master.”
No kidding.
Nobody forced the Feds to start this fishing expedition.
So I suppose any defendant who doesn’t plead guilty immediately should be billed for the judge, prosecutor, etc. to waste their time on “due process”?
And isn’t the entire point of the special master to review the seized materials for privilege?
The Justice Department also says that it must be allowed to continue to access the classified documents as the intelligence community reviews the materials for national security reasons, arguing that the intelligence review cannot be easily separated from the criminal investigation. Top federal prosecutors have said the intelligence review has been temporary halted due to Cannon’s ruling, undermining national security.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will address U.S. defense contractors later this month when he headlines the annual Future Force Capabilities Conference and Exhibition hosted by the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA).
Zelensky is scheduled to speak at the event Sept. 21, according to the program for the event available on the NDIA’s website. Oleksii Reznikov, Ukraine’s minister of defense, is also scheduled to speak that day.
News of the appearances was first reported by Reuters, which noted that the officials will speak via video link. Zelensky is expected to appeal for more weapons for his country during his speech, the outlet added.

On Thursday, the U.S. unveiled a $675 million weapons package to Ukraine, including additional High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems, additional high-speed anti-radiation missiles and more than 5,000 anti-armor systems, among other equipment.

Despite greater protections in the U.S., a variety of journalism trade groups report a significant recent increase in threats and violence directed at reporters. Newsrooms have stepped up their security markedly, with guards and metal detectors, while many more reporters and photographers now receive training in how to protects themselves during protests, school board meetings and even once seemingly innocuous sidewalk interviews.
“What I hear every day around the country is a significant increase in threats and in a sense of permission that people feel to attack journalists,” said Bruce Shapiro, executive director of the DART Center for Journalism & Trauma at Columbia University. “We’re seeing far more threats and far more actual violence directed at local journalists, in particular.”

Right. There’s more than one Sinclair station in Idaho falls, and very few street signs. Suffice it to say I did not see the Hyundai yesterday. Now I’m wondering if it’s worth it to make another attempt. It doesn’t even have a manual transmission. But they (Tiburons) are kind of cute, and not just your average ugly utilitarian shitbox.
That deal we made- we’re changing it
More than 70 House Democrats are signing on to a letter pressing Democratic leaders to not include a side deal with Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) on reforming the permit process for energy projects in a bill funding the government.
The permitting reform language was offered to Manchin to win his vote on the massive climate, tax and health care bill known as the Inflation Reduction Act that was signed into law by President Biden last month.
——-
“The inclusion of these provisions in a continuing resolution, or any other must-pass legislation, would silence the voices of frontline and environmental justice communities by insulating them from scrutiny,” they lawmakers wrote.
“We urge you to ensure that these provisions are kept out of a continuing resolution or any other must-pass legislation this year,” they added in the letter that was spearheaded by Rep. Raúl Grijalva (D-Ariz.).
We have to be able to hide behind the EPA in our continuing efforts to destroy the economy.
What Manchin should do is say “If Congressional Democrats go back on their word on this arrangement to secure a prior vote, I will change my party affiliation to Republican and we can have a new Senate Majority Leader.”
America demands to hear these voices that have been so stifled!
The abuse and misuse of the word “justice” has become rather tedious. It’s almost as bad as “equity”.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen on Friday underscored the need for a broad coalition of partners to help Ukraine recover and rebuild after Russia’s invasion, with a focus on near-term, high-impact projects, the Treasury Department said.
During a virtual meeting with Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal, Yellen also discussed the need for Ukraine’s partners to deliver expeditiously on economic assistance for the country, which has been besieged for over six months by Russian forces.

The United States is providing grants to Ukraine that will add up to $8.5 billion by end-September, the Treasury said. The Biden administration is also requesting an additional $4.5 billion from Congress to help the country cover its critical needs in the coming months.

Incantations make the economy go
Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen praised Biden administration’s economic policies Thursday during a speech at a Ford Motor Company
electric vehicle plant in Michigan.
Yellen, who spoke following a tour of the Rouge Electric Vehicle Center in Dearborn, touted the Democrat-led Inflation Reduction Act, the bipartisan infrastructure law and the CHIPS and Science Act as boons to the manufacturing sector and job growth.
Her speech came as Democrats aim to highlight their economic successes ahead of the midterm elections in November, which will determine whether Republicans can retake one or both chambers of Congress. President Joe Biden will travel to Ohio on Friday to promote the opening of an Intel semiconductor manufacturing facility.
Many of the administration’s policies conform to Yellen’s so-called Modern Supply Side Economics framework. Before the pandemic, she said, higher inequality was accompanied by slower economic growth.
“And now with an economy at full employment, we are uniquely suited for a supply-side expansion that delivers sustainable growth and reduces inequality,” Yellen said.
She also noted the Biden administration’s stabilization efforts “will put the United States back to full employment in record time” after the pandemic, declining labor force participation and the war in Ukraine weighed down the U.S. economy.
And then she hopped on her broom and flew away.
So round people up and put them in workcamps then?
“Taken together, the bipartisan infrastructure law, the CHIPS Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act authorized among the most significant investments our country has ever made,” Yellen said. “I believe firmly, they will help us achieve stable sustainable growth, and they’ll move us toward a fairer and more resilient economy.”
Next thing you know, ol’ Jed’s a millionaire.
WTF is the Treasury Secretary doing taking blatantly political positions, anyway? Remember when their job was maintaining a somewhat stable currency? I guess those days are gone.

North Korea will launch a nuclear retaliation “automatically and immediately” if KIM JONG UN is incapacitated in an attack, according to a new law, codifying for the first time that the leader has delegated his strike authority under that severe condition.
The legislation, passed by Kim’s rubber-stamp parliament, also allows for preemptive nuclear strikes if North Korea judges that foreign weapons will soon streak toward its strategic targets or state leadership.
The measure comes as the dictator vowed to never part with the nuclear and missiles program it took his country decades to build, making them more and more dangerous by the year. North Korea will “never give up nuclear weapons and there is absolutely no denuclearization, and no negotiation and no bargaining chip to trade in the process,” Kim declared Friday, according to state-run media.
