We all have our oddball hobbies and interests. I do electronics, cooking, wine, and this weird little website. NPR Lady is a dancer. Her particular “thing” is traditional British ensemble dances, more specifically contra dancing and Morris Dancing. I am a confirmed non-dancer (which is why I learned to play several instruments). However, her hobby benefits me- besides keeping her muscles in delightful shape, her ensemble seems to specialize in dancing at breweries. So I spent yesterday at three breweries in the Finger Lakes sampling the wares while she kept her toned muscles toned. None of this is terrible, but I do want to see her do the Morris dancing in the traditional blackface. Should I mention this or should I continue having a peaceful relationship?
Speaking of fun, here’s some fun birthdays today, including a guy with a wonderful name; a guy with one too many commas in his name; a guy who would be beyond delighted with the world of 2022; Duncan Renaldo’s Sancho Panza, who seems to have a beach in Santa Barbara named after him; a guy who created a miracle by being a careless slob in the lab; a local girl who inspired one of the greatest pieces of sculpture ever created; a guy who was Snoop Dog before it was cool; a guy responsible for thousands of hours of my youth wasted in rapt fascination; the guy who put the scare quotes in “artist”; a pretty fucking awesome and under-appreciated bass player; the definitive sitcom wacky neighbor; an interesting and creative guy demonized by our government; and a guy who killed Bruce Willis.
Now we’ll dance over to Links.
The propaganda goes from ridiculous to ludicrous.

Somewhere exists a picture of me Morris dancing on a beach on Samos. I’m not shitting you.
I have no rhythm — hence I do not dance (or play instruments). Even Morris dancing. Which is ironic, for reasons I’m not going into on the internet.
This is me. I have so little rhythm that sex and walking are hard, let alone music and dancing.

“Understandably given the fact that she is now in the spotlight, it’s fairly hard to know for certain where Alissa is now.”
Typically when you shine a spotlight on something it becomes easier to find things. At least in my limited experience.
There’s also a line in there about the bud light boycott only being known in conservative circles. Funny how on Friday, at my last job that took place on a work site, I was invited to drink with several illegals after we were finished working our respective jobs and when they asked what kind beer to get, I quipped “Bud light” and they laughed. I know a year ago these young conservatives wouldn’t have laughed at such a suggestion, although they would have bought Bud light lime.
The hispanic community is not down with the trans, like at all. Much like the black community is not down with the LGBETC, like, at all. Major unforced error on the D side.

Re: “gray divorce” — seems to me it has more to do with the Boomers being the first generation coming out of the whole Sexual Revolution where marriage has been cheapened to a “get out of it when you feel like it” contract instead of a “sacred oath, until death do you part” level commitment. More people backing out of it when they don’t take it as seriously going in seems natural enough.

“Michelle Williams, president of the Houston Education Association (HEA), suggested this week that the world may no longer exist in 2035 if the Houston Independent School District (HISD) buys much more paper to use to instruct students in reading and writing….
Some HISD teachers reported that “their classes are going to be 80% paper-based,” Williams said to Miles. “You said, and I’m going to take your words, you said that children don’t have time and then we’re preparing them for 2035. It is fiscally irresponsible to pay $100 per box of paper, and it is environmentally destructive for us to use that amount of paper for 20,000 children in District 2 … 2035 will not exist if you continue to support the deforestation, because it’s going to release too much carbon dioxide, it causes soil erosion, all of those things.””

Old-growth forests are bad.
They need to be cut down for the wood and replanted.
“U.S. forests could worsen global warming instead of easing it because they are being destroyed by natural disasters”
Not mentioned: the amount of actual forest in the US. Which I am pretty sure has been increasing decade over decade.
Also not mentioned: what happens after a forest is burned or knocked down by a hurricane or whatever. ProTip: it’s not a barren wasteland forevermore. In fact, the regrowth actually sequesters more carbon than old growth.
Experts: The Mount Saint Helens volcano zone will be a barren wasteland for decades.
Like this?

but, but, the experts said!!!!
Particularly in the south.
However, the old growth wood isn’t coming back for a long time, unfortunately. I strongly dislike many things about our house but the tightly grained wood used to build it is irreplaceable. The fast growing stuff now is utter crap.
Shorter version: “I’m getting better kickbacks from the tablet distributor than the paper guys.”
Trees having economic values means more trees than ever being planted. Younger trees grow much faster than older ones, capture shit-tons of CO2, and help prevent erosion.
Amazing how full of shit most watermelons are. I heard one the other day claim that we have never had as much CO2 in the atmosphere as we do today.
Ugh. Not only has it been much. higher in the past but the geological record shows CO2 content following, not leading warming. It seems very few know that warmer liquids can hold less gaseous solvents than colder liquids.
Plus trees are farmed for paper. Idk what these stupid cuntes are waxing retarded about. And as you said, new growth is more environmentally friendly than anything. But by all means let’s prevent the removal of old growth (often dead) trees from forests. We could use more forest fires after all.
Also, coniferous forests hold less wildlife, fewer deer, ground animals. birds. Natural regenerative forests have much more diversity (isn’t that a good thing?).
I have a lot of broken and dead/dying trees from this past winter. In days of yore I’d have been cleaning them up for firewood, now I leave them to their natural fate.
Just make sure they aren’t too near the house. Carpenter ants bring termites.

“Thousands of teenagers and adults are trying to change their race through a bizarre online trend which claims just watching ‘subliminal’ videos can alter their facial structure and skin tone.
The majority of followers are attempting to become East Asian through videos which include images of models from countries including South Korea and Japan. The footage is overlaid with mellow soundtracks and creators claim watching them regularly will morph the face to achieve features which are stereotypically Asian.
Most of those parting in the ‘race change to another’ (RCTA) trend are young children aged around 12 to 15. They remain anonymous online, and tend to post clips of what they claim are progress updates on top of footage of people whose races they wish to become….
One controversial clip claims to promote a ‘mongoloid skull’, adopting an offensive and outdated term that once defined a racial grouping of people from some parts of Asia but also developed a second usage as a reference to people with Down syndrome.”

“Swindlers Used Barbie Dolls to Rob COVID Relief Program (Exclusive)
Barbie, Ken, and wax figures: Meet some of the fake personas at the heart of PPP scheme used to obtain fraudulent funds
The doll-face scam, unreported until now, accounted for just a fraction of the estimated $80 billion in fraud that plagued the Paycheck Protection Program and that was the subject of a scathing House committee report accusing financial technology companies of facilitating the taxpayer ripoff.
Called “fintechs,” the companies billed themselves as computer-savvy middlemen who could help get government money from approved lenders into the hands of small businesses struggling after the pandemic hit in the spring of 2020. The fintechs claimed their artificial intelligence software would automatically check applicants’ picture IDs uploaded to PPP application portals.
But scores of scammers uploaded the doll faces instead. And they got money – no questions asked.”

On Oct. 2021, the suit claims, MacCarthy was traveling to her brother’s funeral with her daughter Moira, then 10, via the San Jose airport, when a Southwest airline employee made the wrong assumption about the pair.
While they were in the air from California to Colorado, a Southwest employee called the Denver Police Department to “report Ms. MacCarthy for suspected child trafficking,” said the lawsuit, filed in US District Court in Colorado…
As the pair walked down the jet bridge after the plane landed, were whisked off for questioning by police, the court papers said.”

In recent weeks, at least a dozen organizations have announced plans to either cancel or relocate their upcoming conferences scheduled to take place in Florida, making a statement by having their thousands of attendees and millions of dollars flow into other states deemed safer and more welcoming.
While DeSantis’ office brushes this off as a “media-driven stunt,” tourism officials and community organizations in the state say what’s happening now may be just the beginning.
“Unlike leisure business, which is a very short-term booking window [in weeks or months], conference business is long term,” said Stacy Ritter, president and chief executive officer of the Visit Lauderdale tourism marketing agency in Broward County, Florida. “We’re booking ’26 to ‘30 now, so any impact that this might have is not going to be seen for years to come.”
As of July 26, Ritter said that Visit Lauderdale has tallied 10 events and conventions that were canceled by organizations citing recently enacted laws, policies and travel advisories. That amounts to 15,000 lost hotel room nights and an estimated $20 million economic impact, she said.
Ritter, a longtime Democratic politician in the state, said she first started to see some businesses pull back following the 2022 legislative session and the first iteration of the ruling known as the “Don’t Say Gay” law. At the time, she also received emails from leisure travelers suggesting they wouldn’t come back to Florida because they perceived it was hostile to the LGBTQ+ community.
“That trickle from last year became a little stronger,” she said. “I don’t have a crystal ball, I wish I did, but I don’t know what happens in the future if this becomes a thing, or if this is a blip. Nobody knows.”
All those lynchings are bad for business.
Serves FL right. It’s practically the Fourth Reich.
“the ruling known as the “Don’t Say Gay” law”
Such tiring bullshit.
I am convinced the only way out is for Glibertarians to rule the world, right after we figure out the correct way to do so.
Three Glibs, four opinions.
Four opinions? Those are rookie numbers. Do better.
We would ever agree on a correct way? Bwahahahahaha
The very nature of not being able to agree on a correct way would allow the market forces to just operate while we figure out exactly what is a pizza, where pineapple is acceptable and if drugs do indeed have the ability to fall out of ones ass.
We know the correct way, you contrarians just want to argue with me.
It’s a long the same lines as the “very fine nazis” lie. Could you imagine if a politician premised his entire campaign on such a blatant falsehood?
Untold riches, right?
What’s the total/trend for conferences in FL? From a statewide perspective, that’s what matters.
Doesn’t Disney have a conference facility there? I know they do in CA. How many cancellations were at Disney? I doubt anyone would cancel their conference at uber-woke Disney because they, too, are uber-woke; any cancellations there would be for the opposite reason.
Not sure those particular statistics are available, but the number of tourists in the first quarter of this year set a record. It would have been even higher, but travel from overseas was still hampered by the COVID restrictions (which are finally gone now).

“Press credentials are a Constitutional right! “
AnitaB.org, an organization of female and non-binary tech workers, said in an open letter that its Grace Hopper Celebration taking place September in Orlando will “conclude our investment in Florida, and we will not return until this legislation is overturned and the state becomes more welcoming to all.” The organization cited laws that restrict access to abortions, allow for permit-free concealed carry of a firearm, that target undocumented immigrants and that restrict educators’ curriculum especially as it relates to LGBTQ+ individuals and people of color.

It was a difficult decision for the National Society of Black Engineers to move its 2024 event from Florida, said Janeen Uzzell, CEO of the National Society of Black Engineers, which two years ago selected Orlando to serve as the host city for its 50th annual convention.
But after conversations with the NAACP, the National Urban League, legal team, sponsors, members of Congress as well as other organizations in the same boat, the NSBE decided it was best to not have the event there, she said, adding that “significant sums” of money are potentially being left on the table.
The society was formed in 1975, during the Black Power Movement; and as the organization celebrates its 50th anniversary and looks to honor its mission of increasing the number of Black engineers, the climate in Florida undermines that, she said.
After arm-twisting by the everything-is-political mafia, they pulled out. One would wish a group of proud professionals who operate in the evidence based universe would be able to resist a bunch of teary-eyed emotional hokum, but apparently not.

I’ve done contra dancing. The folks who contra dance in New England, especially closer to Boston, tend to be “Special”.

And experts say of course one of the most common ways to make sure young people register to vote is for a state to have online registration.
Few states, at this point, don’t have online registration. Among those that don’t, some explicitly require a so-called wet signature on a paper voter registration form.
Emily Eby French, a staff attorney at the Texas Civil Rights Project, says she and her colleagues hear a lot of frustration in Texas, where a law like this has been on the books for a while.
“I get to talk to college kids all the time in this job,” she said. “They don’t understand why we don’t have voter registration online because everything else you can do is online now.”
Vote.org is currently suing Texas over this law. Andrea Hailey, the group’s CEO, says its mission is to make it easy for people to register to vote. The organization has a mobile app that on average takes people two minutes to register.
But wet signature laws require people to take extra steps, like printing a form and signing it and then mailing it, which she says takes many young people out of the electoral process.
Voting is a sacred trust. It’s the most important thing ever. That’s why we cannot expect anybody to exert the slightest effort to register.
We have to get every single 18 year old registered. It’s not because we think young voters with squishy brains and little life experience will vote for free shit and good intentions every single time and keep us in power forever. It’s because we want a better stronger nation.
¡Civic duty!!1!!!
“But wet signature laws require people to take extra steps, like printing a form and signing it and then mailing it, which she says takes many young people out of the electoral process.”

Even though divorce rates for the overall population are declining, Brown says, “older adults are really bucking the trend.”
Is that because fewer people are getting married?
DePaulo, who’s 69 and lives in Santa Barbara, California, proudly declares that she’s been single her entire life. For years she’s been studying single people and pushing for their choices to be taken more seriously.
“There are many more of us than people realize who don’t see living single or living alone as some sort of burden, but instead embrace it as something that we really just love,” she says.
Living by yourself, she says, doesn’t mean that you’re alone or lonely.
And some other people just can’t bear to be alone. Maybe they can’t stand themselves.
The share of people over 65 who are living alone has remained relatively consistent in recent years, hovering around its current level of 28%. But given the large size of the Baby Boomer generation, which includes people who range in age from 59 to 77, the overall number of older people living alone is climbing, and it’s expected to grow even more.
Experts say that could have significant consequences in communities across the country – especially if more isn’t done to provide better social services.
