In one 2011 email, Gelernter recommended an undergraduate student to Epstein for an editorial position in part because she was a “v[ery] small goodlooking blonde”.
Fucking psychopath. Not sorry Ted blew off his jerk-off hand.

In another post, I mentioned that he may have been correct all along, and the people he targeted had it coming, except for the innocent ones. Ted was a bit sloppy on that regard.
I got savagely downvoted.

Arwin Meiwes had full consent from his cannibalism victim, and he’s serving a life sentence anyway.

Some of it goes back to one of those dumb Bush wars when France refused to allow American warplanes to fly over their airspace.
Republican Congressman threw a tantrum, and did important stuff like rename French Fries to Freedom Fries in the Congressional cafeteria… Not kidding.

You’re not Gay just because your weenie won’t work. Gay weenies work just fine. That’s why Gay is so popular.

Fair enough. As a former owner of a public retail business, Ill bet this proprietor has a great relationship with his customers.

They would have, but it was a standard white birthday boy. If it had been a Latino kid, watch out!
- Comment on Families in New York City demonstrated against a proposal to allow cars in a local park. A politician showed up in a car to mock them 2 days ago:
How does anyone rack up 38 tickets. I got a parking ticket on a visit, and when I came back a year later, my car got booted, and then towed. It was a major pain int the ass to go to the courthouse, only to be told I needed the registration, so I had to go to the tow yard, and get the registration from the glove compartment, then go back to the courthouse to pay all the fines and towing and storage costs. For one parking ticket.
She’s got 38 tickets, and is still driving her car? Politicians should NEVER get away with this shit.

Today, it looks like the Brooke Shields situation was normal for the time, but I assure you that it wasn’t. Plenty of people called out the behavior of those around her, and it led to the tighter restrictions on childhood sexual exploitation that we see today. There’s a reason why Brooke Shields is pretty much a solo act - when Hollywood handlers tried to cross boundaries with her, they got slapped down pretty quickly, and nobody really followed.
- Comment on A Statement From The White House 3 days ago:
He always looks like someone has a gun in his back at these things.
This guy has obvious Imposter Syndrome, and is desperately afraid everybody will notice that he’s astonishingly incapable of his job. At least Dan Bongino recognized that he was in way over his head, and bailed before he did anything too historically terrible that his grandchildren will be ashamed of.
All the rest are going to be despised and denied by their descendants.
- Comment on What's going on with Olympic skiers and penises? 4 days ago:
I saw that an addition of only 4 square centimeters in the crotchal region translates into a 5% increase in lift, and an increase in distance of 5.8 meters, which is a significant advantage. So it makes sense that they would do whatever is necessary to gain that extra coverage in the crotchal region.

That’s what I would figure. Sweet potatoes are more like gourds, pumpkins, etc, than actual potatoes.

Potatoes are best in the Air Fryer.

Cook it long enough, and the potato starch will thicken it up.
- Comment on Where can I get a set of furry train tracks to complete the scene? 4 days ago:
Dudley DoRight cartoons were popular in the mid-60s, and featured Dudley as the Royal Canadian Mounty, the beautiful sweet Nell, and villain Snidely Whiplash. Snidely was always kidnapping Nell and tying her the train tracks for some reason. It was pretty much the same plot in every episode.
They may have been from the same studio as Rocky And Bullwinkle.
- Comment on Does it happen when the law arrest a drug kingpin or whatever and they off the cops something like 10mil a piece to let him/her go? Has anyone ever actually taken it? Or is movie trope? 5 days ago:
It was common in Colombia for cops, judges, and politicians to be given a choice - cooperate, and get paid a LOT of money, or you and your entire family can die. That’s a pretty easy choice.
The cocaine cartels had so much cash that they spent thousands of dollars a month on rubber bands just to bundle the bills, and they lost hundreds of thousands of dollars a month to rats eating the cash. Giving hefty cash payments in return for protection was better than losing it to rats.

Yep, straight to Palantir.
In 10 years, when MAGA has everything locked down, and you complain about something online, they’ll put out a BOLO, and instantly, the entire network will start checking every camera for your face, and within a few minutes they will have a timeline on your movements for as far back as they want, including every time you enter or leave your house. If you aren’t in your house, they’ll find you out there somewhere, and immediately dispatch ICE Apes to find you, detain you, and send you to the nearest work camp, where you will be leased out as a slave to some corporation.

Yeah, that’s my first thought. Kinda cool, but I could see stepping off an edge and going down hard on a table or something. I wouldn’t even care if it was me, I fall down all the time, but I’d be concerned about others, like my wife, or my mom, or my son.

That would be hilarious.

Valid.
My issue with country is the same as any genre - about 90% of it is actually pretty mediocre, at best. About 5% is pretty good, and 5%, maybe less, is really great. Chris Stapleton? As good as it gets in any genre.
The main problem with most country music is the lyrics. You can literally play Country Music Bingo, with squares that include Jeans, Boots, Cowboy Hats, Trucks, Beer, Bars, Dogs, America, Country Girls, etc., and that gets old, and stupid, really fast. OTOH, you could say nearly the same thing about Classic Rock, singing about partying, cars, etc., and Metal gets really weird.
But Country MUSIC? Like the song says"Nashville Cats, play clean as country water…"

I grew up in the 60s, 70s and 80s, so I love Classic Rock and New Wave. But I also have a degree in music history, so I know classical music inside and out. When I was a teen, and my friends all worked at McDonalds, I was playing gigs in a 15 piece Big Band, so I also love jazz.
Then I got a job with a major record label, managing all the fun genres - classical, jazz, world music, blues, soundtracks, etc. Since then, I’ve worked for many classical labels, jazz and folk labels, a really cool Chinese label that recorded ancient Chinese folk, classical, and indigenous music in perfect audiophile sound, etc. One of my favorite tracks is an old guy in Yunnan province, who plays a LEAF. Just puts it between his lips, and blows, playing beautiful melodies with subtle nuances, on a fucking LEAF!
After decades of listening to, playing, and writing about all sorts of music, I don’t really hear it in terms of styles or genres anymore. It’s all just music to me, and while it’s kind of cliche, it’s just broken up between good and not so good music, and frankly, I decide which is which based on my own trust in my own musical taste. You are perfectly welcome to disagree. Doesn’t bother me at all if you like something different.
BTW, I say “not so good” music, because I would never disparage a genuine musician who is genuinely expressing themselves musically. I may not like it, and it may not be played or recorded well, but they’re a musician so I respect their art. I don’t care much for Metal, but I get it. I can even like a lot of it from a technique perspective. A lot of those guys can really play, I’m just not big fan of the music that results. I feel that way about a lot of country. Great playing, not a fan of the music so much.
OTOH, scum like Kid Rock, who use their “music” as propaganda to oppress others, including musicians, deserve hatred from the true world of music.
