Yesterday I caught Part 2 of Rebel Moon. Once again, Zach Snyder proves he is the the ultimate, self-important, pompous sci-fi douchebag. Let’s all marvel at the intense visual spectacle that I am actually embarrassed to say took me halfway through Part 1 to figure out this is just The Magnificent Seven in space. Seriously, they even made the Asian girl a literal Samurai. My guess is Snyder wrote the screenplay without ever watching either Western film, let alone the Japanese film they hawked to make said westerns.
Is it entertaining? Sure. Does it have the annoying girl boss character? Yes, except it takes place on a moon so the super strength thing can be explained by gravity. She also technically has a backstory suggesting she actually had to acquire her skillset which is 95% applied violence and 5% sex appeal—provided you are into lesbian Sarah Connor types.
Also, I couldn’t tell if they had laser or plasma weapons, that bothered me for some reason. Shoot a guy and it has a fluorescent orange splash when it hits raises a couple questions.
¡enlaces!
Let’s start with the white pill. The chatter on TwiX is the lone holdout on the jury wasn’t a vote to acquit, it was to convict. Which means 7/8 people from the part of the state my family is from don’t think he did anything worth throwing him in prison. I won’t be surprised if they try him again.
The press is going to try to turn her into a sympathetic figure like they did initially with Trudeau, aren’t they?
Mexico detains brother of a drug kingpin.
Meanwhile, Mexicans in the US are a confusing bunch.

Never thought of Sarah Connor as a lesbian.

“Embrace the power of AND” has never seemed more apt. Assuming both in their heyday, of course.

Anyone watch Beacon 23?

Sarah Connor is not. Technically Kora isn’t either, they just make her look that way.
I still don’t get what possible authority Australia or Brazil would have over some company in another country.
I can certainly see why they’d want to try — but yeah, I fully support companies telling them to fuck off and not having some stupid international treaty system giving options for punishing companies following the law in the countries they operate in and only being exposed to other countries via the Internet.
But then we couldn’t punish other countries and other companies for stepping out of line… so the Imperial District can’t have that…..
Stupid fucking “Post WWII world order” bullshit.
I dont understand why the highest functioning, most innovative and sophisticated companies in the world cant be subject to monkey tribunals in the poorest, most backward countries in the world. They may not have any knowledge about the laws and cultures of the companies but they do have indigenous knowledge…is that what they call it?
With these types it is about money. It is always about money. Extortion is their MO. The Sioux just forgot that they have no actual leverage when they demanded that people stop trespassing on their sacred lunar ground.

I thought Star Wars was The Hidden Fortress in Space.
I thought Star Wars was The Wizard of Oz.
A friend argues there are only two plots: ‘The search for lost treasure’ and ‘A stranger comes to town.’ We agreed those were the same, told from different points of view.
He’s being overly simplistic, but it largely checks out. Just change the ‘treasure,’ ‘stranger’ or ‘town.’
I was never sexually attracted to Sarah Conner, but Hamilton CAN be quite attractive. Sarah can take me. I’m not sure if that arouses me. As for Lena, she’s always handy.
Evan dear, can you muzzle that thing occasionally? Thainks.
Nope.
(Although thankfully, kinda-sorta did with crazy-bitch ex, who WAS a (physically+) super hot, legit int’l tax lawyer in Manhattan. She’s originally from Peru, IN and we met at IU 15 years ago.

I meet interestin’ folk, I know. I kind can’t help myself it seems. Book seems Must Happen. Now, time for din-din with Dad.
I recall there were the six basic conflicts (Man vs…) and a similar number of plots.
I thought the two ur-plots were “someone goes on a journey” and “a stranger comes to town”. As you note, just different POVs.

“If you’re going to trade war, you can’t be surprised if they trade war right back.”
Trump’s “bloodbath” speech was about this exactly.
Yup… maybe it will dissolve NAFTA as a consequence and we can stop trying to regulate all of North America. (Yeah yeah… free trade argle blargle… I don’t think anything we have at the moment resembles free trade so I’d rather damned well be a protectionist being I’m a nationalist and think globalism empowers Davos. How’s that for your bubble there, JI?)
The more of it I see, the more “Free” trade isn’t.
Free trade died with the creation of the Fed.
NAFTA is as dissolved by Trump and replaced with USMCA. Mexico and Canada weren’t too happy about it.
How’s that for your bubble there, JI?
Well, we usually do well with trade, particularly since we aren’t dependent on it. And low-information voters love to be misled.
How do you come to this conclusion that “We aren’t dependent upon trade”?
Not ji (natch) but ‘we’ have all the natural resources needed to be self sufficient. Do ‘we’ still benefit from trade? absolutely but we* aren’t dependent on it., Hell most countries (outside of some tiny island nations or land locked shitholes) aren’t dependent on trade. As I tell the waitresses at my regular watering hole, I don’t need a beer but I really, really want one. We don’t need trade but we really, really should want it.
* I’m gonna stop putting single quotes around we but pretend they are still there.
We’re not going to watch it… are we?
Nothing I’ve heard about either it or the first one gives me any desire to bother. But don’t let that stop you, MS!

Surprisingly, probably the best-known pitmaster in America is a Jewish dude from Baltimore.
I have a relative who had to stop watching that and other cooking shows, for sake of blood sugar.
I had to stop watching Top Chef because it got too goddamn woke.
The Ramsey shows are more enjoyable because there is less of that stuff.
I love Pati, shes so sexy, and so wholesome.
I had no idea she was Jewish. They’re everywhere.
It’s not as if Xwixxer can just stop shipping their product to other countries. Even if they tried, black marketeers would find a way to smuggle it in.

Amid this tension, Mr Dussel says: “Mexico is putting up a big sign to China saying: ‘Welcome to Mexico!’. You don’t need a PhD to know that this isn’t going to end well for bilateral relations between the US and Mexico in the medium term,” he adds.

“Fast food chains in California are replacing staff with digital order kiosks – as a way to cut costs after the minimum wage in the state was hiked to $20-an-hour.”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/yourmoney/consumer/article-13341449/Fast-food-chains-minimum-wages-layoffs-kiosks.html
Shockingly unexpected.
They’ll probably just implement a mandatory fast-food equity tax after they figure out the electricity equity one. Communism was not just a red herring in this state.
(Most?) People won’t notice. Or say anything. Despite all the predictable reality around us.
Honestly, it’s China’s fevered fantasies (and significant investment) coming true. Everyone, different within every generation, sees The (obvious) End nearing. Like all history, it won’t end well. (Well, for us, if we’re still we’re still here. The coming generations will have life much, much better than before. Just like we did, and every other generation. Being human ain’t easy.)
“The coming generations will have life much, much better than before. Just like we did, and every other generation.”
You need to study more history. Sure, the trend over millennia is upward in some/many parts of the world, but there are a lot of plateaus and declines in there.
“talk about wanting to succeed from the US, start an ethno state in Southwest USA and calls it “Aztlán”
Sounds like a path to success.
Haha, that’s the name used in Vinge’s Across Real Time for the feudal state there post U.S.
Nothing says “open borders” like “ethnostate”.
Which one was that, Spaceballs?
Outland. Sean Connery as The Sheriff.
I enjoyed that movie. It may be time for a rewatch.
The trade war may escalate shortly.
Blinken is on his way to China to threaten them with sanctions if they keep trading with Russia. Of course China is going to tell him to piss-off. Once we start sanctioning China, they’ll have no reason to not start selling them cast quantities of military equipment to make up the difference.
The nerve of making this trip a few days after we gave Taiwan $billions in military aid is something. I doubt Tony will get a warm reception.
https://apnews.com/article/us-china-blinken-xi-middle-east-russia-210b07bcc585b9f2de14ff71951d8743
I imagine they’ll do just that but the Russians are surprisingly managing to produce more than enough for themselves on their own. I guess keeping those outmoded and unprofitable industries around for a rainy day does actually have some tangible benefits in the right set of circumstances.
The Kelly trial has been an absolute mess, from what little I’ve been able to ascertain. Numerous violations of procedure and severe misunderstandings of black-letter law were described in that single linked article.
Just based on what I could find, I would have found Kelly guilty of aggravated assault. I don’t think that you can sustain a murder charge, without provably linking his weapon to the dead body, but he did admit to pointing and firing his weapon at the trespassers, and he didn’t have a reasonable self-defense claim.
I recall there were multiple instances of trespassing on his ranch, not that it has much bearing on the specific incident.
I think aggravated assault would be the best technically correct verdict. As soon as I heard about it, I thought “Warning shots. Always stupid. Telling the cops you were firing warning shots in the direction of somebody – oof.”
I would have voted to acquit. Cartel drug mules on your property are outlaws, hostis humani generis. Also, jury nullification.

Shockingly unexpected.
‘Bout time somebody investigated this and yeah, no surprises. Of course it’s all well-funded and organized – that is what the left does.
What exactly do they need funding for? Is it for legal fees if they get arrested? I just don’t see how there’s any hard costs to loudly telling everyone that you’re not going to class and occupying spaces you’re not supposed to.
No, I will not read your article. I am lazy.
Professionally produced signage for starters. Transporting rabble in from out of town. Etc. I understand the level of organization going on here is not cheap.
I have little doubt that there are cash stipends for the protestors, too. The left has done it before, why not here?
Sorry, The Hyperbole, I don’t have names, addresses, identifying information, and voting records for the members of the organizations behind this, so I just call them “the left”. Its probably just a conspiracy theory, and doesn’t exist.
Do you know the name of the organizations behind this? that would be sufficient. You could even say the DNC, as generic as that is, at least its an actual thing and can be checked and held accountable if they did. When there is some leak about something Glibs seem to want names or it didn’t happen, but if I complain that “you people” are being unnecessarily vague, suddenly I’m the asshole.
“…suddenly I’m the asshole.” – suddenly?
Yeah, they will try him again, and others. Hopefully we start getting some acquittals.
Mexico, first woman president, not Jewish….they left something out or it is further down that I didn’t read. The word starts with a capitol C, doesnt it? Why else would they push her. I remember the glowing praise and ‘it will work this time, you will see!’ talk when Chavez was on the tise. I swear these useful idiots are as predictable as the sunrise.
I dont care. Close the border and fuck you, cut taxes. Stop giving money to the tin-pot thugs in Ukraine.
Lets flee Mexico and turn America into another Mexico! A country is a product of its culture. Culture…you cant wash that shit off with gasoline.
Wherever you go, there. you are. It aint just Mexicans. All of the native snowbirds and massholes need to go back where they came from too.
Oh, and like the nice Chinese lady said “Fuck you, there is no debate. You cant have my guns.”
All of the Chinese made stuff I have bought, regardless of where it is actually made, was cargo cult junk.

Breaking the bonds of slavery
The South is a rough place for unions. The unionization rate is around 8 percentage points lower there than it is outside the region. “The history of Southern political economy is to a great extent a history of the unbreakable addiction of Southern political and economic elites to no-wage and low-wage labor,” New York Times columnist Jamelle Bouie recently explained in a piece contextualizing the stakes of the Chattanooga vote. And the total dominance of Republicans in the South means that the party’s allegiance to representing big business — whose interests are at odds with the interests of the workers they exploit — go largely unchallenged in the region. Part of the way that manifests today is through so-called “right-to-work” laws, which make it harder for workers to form and sustain unions, in part by allowing nonunion workers to access union benefits without paying dues. This policy is the law of the land across the entire South, including Tennessee.
At long last, justice for the Working Man.
That Fain guy impresses me as somebody who would be more comfortable in a room full of Ivy League teaching assistants than with a group of people who actually make things with their hands.
“The history of Southern political economy is to a great extent a history of the unbreakable addiction of Southern political and economic elites to no-wage and low-wage labor,”
Oh fuck off. We just aren’t stupid enough to throw our money away on unions. Everything down here is cheaper as a result.
Oh look, a slavery reference. Stay classy, MSNBC.
Everything is slavery and slavery is everything. Also, it’s everyone else that’s divisive.
It’s a Volkswagen factory, and VW in Germany operates in a co-determation (“Mitbestimmung”) legal environment which gives unions a place on corporate governing bodies plus some other rights. Perhaps VW knows how to deal with unions in a non-hostile manner and this will work out. That system seems to work well in Germany.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codetermination_in_Germany
I wonder, what would you call a system where Capital, Labor, and the State each have a place a the table?
We may have shot the Nazi Party and the National Fascist Party out of office in the 1940s, but the fascists absolutely took over Europe.
It’s nothing like the NSDAP stuff at all in Germany.

Mexican authorities have detained the brother of the drug kingpin known as “el Mencho,” a federal source with knowledge of the case told CNN Monday.
Abraham Oseguera – alias “Don Rondo” – was detained in the western state of Michoacán and is currently in the custody of the Mexican Attorney General’s Office, according to a government statement.
His brother, Nemesio Oseguera-Cervantes, is the leader of the Jalisco New Generation Cartel.
It wasn’t a government action, but the sibling of the Parkland shooter went to culinary school, graduated in the top 10% of his class — and then couldn’t get a job anywhere in south Florida, due to his relative’s notoriety.
He finally moved out of state, and now has a successful career as a line chef at a high-end place in Atlanta.
Just goes to show, you shouldn’t judge a cook by its brother.
🤨
Rick Bayless versus Skip.
Speaking of movies, I watched “The Ghost in the Invisible Bikini” last night. A dopey ’60s horror comedy with dancing and singing teens. A beach party movie with a haunted mansion instead of a beach.
Better than anything Quentin Taranitno ever did.
I got my son to sit down and watch Guys and Dolls (my wife ended up watching too after insisting she’d tune out after the beginning). Enjoyed by all — though my wife stated the crazy opinion that Adelaide is just annoying (my favorite character in the film… so verging on fightin’ words!)
That was a good one. How about “Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine?”
Is that the one where the machine malfunctioned and there was no bikini atoll?
That would be good for a Thursday night.
Why can’t he shoot someone that actually deserves it?
LOL the previous article on this didn’t show her. He should also have asked her to put on some clothing.
But yeah, don’t make me root for that asshole (him).
Any chance that this teaches him the self-awareness that holding people hostage and shouting your incredibly childish and naïve political opinions at them in every possible venue is more than a bit of a dick move?
***Begins holding breath***
To be fair, he is such an amazingly hilarious asshole. Like that rant against his young daughter Howard Stern used to play all the time. He puts it to good use in many of his films.

The UAW lost unionization votes at the same plant in Chattanooga in 2014 and 2019, but this time it finally prevailed.
I wonder if the NLRB allows unlimited repetitive union de-certification votes.
Haha, I crack myself up.
One way ratchet. Strangulation of the worker.
Funny story. Way back when I was a transportation supervisor, the crew voted to certify for the Teamsters.
and 12 months later to the day voted to de-certify. Seems they didn’t get those raises they had been promised, and even lost money due to union dues.
What somehow never gets mentioned by the union is, after you vote to certify, that’s when the contract negotiation starts. It can take a year or more. During that time, you will get no raises (while your non-unionized colleagues do), no new work rules, nothing much at all really, but you have to start paying dues immediately.
When the nurses unionized at a couple of hospitals in Tucson, holy shit were they pissed when they learned this. I think it took a couple of years for the new contract to kick in. A lot of them left those hospitals.
That time the CIA overthrew the government of Australia:

RAINFALL is more of an NSA facility, despite the video title. Basically, Kerr was the governor-general (colonial era and mostly ceremonial post) and so had the authority to remove the prime minister.
***
Kerr had been involved with a number of CIA fronts. In the 1950s, Kerr had joined the Association for Cultural Freedom, a conservative group which had been established by, and received funding from, the CIA through the Congress for Cultural Freedom. Kerr was on its executive board and wrote for its magazine Quadrant. In 1966, Kerr helped to found Lawasia (or Law Asia), an organization of lawyers which had offices in all the major capitals of Asia. It was funded by The Asia Foundation, a prominent CIA front.[171]
Christopher Boyce, who was convicted of spying for the Soviet Union while an employee of a CIA contractor, said the CIA wanted Whitlam removed from office because he threatened to close US military bases in Australia, including Pine Gap. Boyce said Kerr was described by the CIA as “our man Kerr”.[172] Former ASIO chief Sir Edward Woodward has dismissed the notion of CIA involvement,[173] as has journalist Paul Kelly.[174][175]

That explains a lot.
Last week, Tampa Bay Rays closer Pete Fairbanks was touched up for three hits and two walks in a blown save loss to the Angels.
He then gave one of the greatest post-game interviews in modern sports history, combining a brutally honest assessment of his own performance with the perfect baseball “the past is over, we’ll get ’em next time” mentality.
Fairbanks has since been placed on the

TOK, you are doomed. Your journeys to Minnesoda to play hockey killed you. Sure you were on the ice, but you were next to soccer fields full of Forever Chemicals!!!!!
Because no one in Minnesoda would ever be exposed to plastic, otherwise?
And why is no one concerned for the Vikings? Maybe if they won a Super Bowl, people might care.
Sick burn. Cowboys hardest hit.
The Vikes have caused a larger negative impact on the health of Minnesodans than all the soccer fields in the state COMBINED!
That’s right next to Super Rink right? I’m heading there in 5 weeks. I’ll make sure we pack respirators.
Yup. The Super Rink is surrounded by a shit ton of soccer fields.
So me being a good guy and showing up to support you probably killed me too.

A Colombian handbag designer has been sentenced to 18 months in prison after federal prosecutors said she illegally smuggled handbags made from caiman and python skin — both protected species — to New York.
——-
The Department of Justice said in a news release that Gonzalez made bags of caiman and python skin — both of which are protected by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, an international agreement to protect wildlife signed by both the U.S. and Colombia.
Under the Endangered Species Act, the trade of such species isn’t fully banned, but requires a permit issued by the host country to be cleared by U.S. officials upon importation.
She should have used Florida pythons.
“This investigation uncovered a multi-year scheme that involved paid couriers smuggling undeclared handbags made of CITES-protected reptile skins into the U.S. to be sold for thousands of dollars,” Edward Grace, the assistant director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Office of Law Enforcement, said in a statement.
“The Service will continue to seek justice for protected species exploited for profit, and we will hold accountable those who seek to circumvent international controls meant to regulate their sustainable trade,” he added.
The case was investigated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Office (USFWS) of Law Enforcement in Valley Stream, New York, with assistance of the Miami Resident Agent in Charge Office of USFWS. The case was prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Southern District of Florida and the Justice Department’s Environmental Crimes Section

I’m not a beer expert, and I am certainly no journalismist but to my eye that’s more than ‘several cases’.
– “A truck hauling several cases of beer flipped on its side after a deer ran in its path” –
https://www.wnem.com/2024/04/23/sheriff-truck-loaded-with-beer-flips-its-side-after-deer-runs-its-path/
I’d say that fits the fraternity definition of “several cases.”
Good point.
The truck was loaded full of beer and other beverages and was on its way from a distributor in Flint to make several stops in the Thumb, according to the sheriff’s office.
The sheriff’s office said no injuries were reported.
… Although the beer appeared to be shaken.
East bound and down, loaded up and truckin’.
“Yesterday I caught Part 2 of Rebel Moon.”
#metoo. Disappointing, to say the least. The wholesome farming community was heavy handed, but I get it, Star Wars homage is going to have a kind of pulpy kid-oriented vibe. But the harvesting of grain by hand just threw me out of suspension of disbelief. They live in a starfaring civilization that is apparently short on food, and they’re using scythes and flails to harvest grain?
He’s supposedly going to do extended director’s cuts. Pass. He also set up sequels. Also pass. Too bad. I love a brainless space opera, but this one just missed the mark.
Spoiler alert: at least he killed off the boyfriend.
That’s almost as stupid as a bunch of stone age miniature bears defeating a starfaring civilization in a battle only minus the cutesie marketing oppurtunities.
“The chatter on TwiX is the lone holdout on the jury wasn’t a vote to acquit, it was to convict.”
That was the word in Tucson (and on the news), as I, ahem, reported yesterday. I think 7 jurors who didn’t buy the prosecutions case makes a retrial somewhat less likely.
They live in a starfaring civilization that is apparently short on food, and they’re using scythes and flails to harvest grain?
That would explain why they’re short on food.
“The press is going to try to turn her into a sympathetic figure like they did initially with Trudeau, aren’t they?”
Woman, yay! Jew, boo! So they have a challenge.
And what’s this “with a Jewish background” BS, anyway? Her four grandparents were Jews, so she’s a Jew. Since when did we start applying a “how observant are you” test? I don’t recall seeing “Over a thousand people with Jewish backgrounds were raped, tortured, murdered and kidnapped, but it’s not clear how many of them were observant” after 10/7.
So, yeah, they’re erasing her Jewessness as much as they can to make her sympathetic, because there’s no way they can ever say “Jew, yay!”
