Just a note to you field hands. I tried posting an article a few days ago and it was shot down by the gatekeepers at Google. Why? Because they thought that it was offensive. (I can assure you it was not.)
Those of you who know me know that I do not post offensive content. (At least not anymore.) I allow offensive comments, because I believe in free speech, but my posts are never offensive.
The problem is that there are not a lot of folks at Google who look like I do, and they do not understand that that when I write the word ***** it is not meant to be offensive. The fact is, most of the people who look (and think) like I do consider the phrase field ***** a term of endearment. They are not offended by it, and neither should anyone else. As for the phrase house *****, it should be no more offensive than the words snob, or clueless. If I had written an article about snobbish or clueless people, I am sure that it would have been allowed. But such is life with the new gatekeepers. They decide what is offensive and what is not.
Maybe at some point I will be allowed to repost the article, but for now, I am reconsidering my relationship with Google.
Sadly, after over fifteen years and millions of page views, it might be time for a change.
I saw the link to that post on Comrade Misfit's sidebar, but it only led to a page saying "no such post exists" or some such horse shit.

Comments sometimes also disappear mysteriously, without even any note explaining what happened, such as “deleted by blog owner.” I had assumed this was the work of some sort of software algorithm that automatically deletes what it thinks constitutes offensive content because it contains forbidden keywords or something.
ReplyDeleteNote: Most of my deleted comments were not remotely hate speech or anything close to that. But the algorithm is an idiot and can’t tell the difference.
I had a similar experience to dinthebeast. It made me wonder if I was going crazy.

A homeless man having a mental breakdown related to his lack of food and drink, just murdered on a New York subway train, by a chokehold which lasted for 15 minutes. Shades of George Floyd's murder. The murderer, a veteran, confronted the man, then got behind him to administer the chokehold. Police, when this hold was still legal fifty years ago, usually only held a suspect in this chokehold for less than one minute, during which time most people will surrender. Apparently, Jordan Neely was resisting the chokehold for well over ten minutes. Then after death occurred, the veteran held the man in this suffocating hold fully two more minutes to ensure death.
ReplyDeleteMayor Eric Adams warns us not to jump to conclusions. Subway passengers regularly help other passengers. Let us not assume that this was a murder while it is "still under investigation."

Brace yourselves for an onslaught of fear-mongering, racist lies from Republicans as Title 42 comes to an end.
ReplyDeleteTitle 42 was the Trump-era order that basically blocked people from applying for asylum, as part of quarantining the country to keep out COVID. Of course, Trump closed the borders way too late, with regards to the much larger number of people entering on travel visas, so blocking entry of the asylum seekers didn’t actually matter. We ended up with massive infections and deaths anyway.
In any event, now that COVID levels are much lower and the pandemic is effectively over (unless some new strain evolves that sends us back into crisis mode again — fingers and toes crossed that that doesn’t happen!), there’s no longer any excuse for this, so normal asylum applications will resume, and Republicans will collectively shit their pants over this.
And then there’s the impending chaos of the debt ceiling. Either Biden is going to have to play chicken with SCOTUS by exploiting some sort of shady legal loophole in order to evade/destroy the debt ceiling, or else Republicans are probably going to cause the federal government to default on its loans and thereby crash the economy. I do not see Republicans backing down on their dumb extortion demands under Speaker of the House Marjorie Taylor Greene, and giving in to those demands would be insane and morally reprehensible.
ReplyDeleteAnd no, McCarthy isn’t the actual speaker. Marjorie just lets him hold the gavel so he can feel important.

If true, then these fairly petty offenses are hardly going to result in the trial of the century. Fox viewers have been led to believe Hunter is the new Pablo Escobar, so they are going to be very disappointed if a judge sentences him to ... probation and a fine.
And even more disappointed when it doesn't meaningfully impact Hunter's dad's election chances because nobody outside the Fox News-consuming bubble gives a crap about this nonsense.

“A new Alabama bill would charge women with murder not only if they have an abortion - but if the state decides their miscarriage was caused by recklessness or negligence”
ReplyDeleteThe criminalization of “reckless” miscarriages was de facto happening in several states already (usually involving pregnant female drug users). But it will be a big deal when the first state officially decides that women who get abortions are murderers. It seems possible this is on the horizon.

ReplyDeleteThis is such an insane and illogical talking point. And ironic, since the people throwing it around are mainly fascists.
1) Jews in Weimar Germany were less than 1% of the population. When the government decided to exterminate them, they had no meaningful chance to resist, guns or no guns. And, by the way, Jews DID have guns in Weimar Germany, before the Nazis took over. But like I said, that didn't help them. Their only realistic option was to flee.
2) Equally, civilian guns are no protection against tyranny here in the United States. Our government has the most powerful military in the world.
You may have an AR-15. But the feds have tanks. The feds have Apache helicopters and drones equipped with hellfire missiles. The feds have flame-throwers and white phosphorus munitions and bunker-busting bombs. If the U.S. government goes bad, you are not going to defeat them with the small arms you bought at the local gun shop. That's laughable. If they want to stomp you, you are getting stomped.
3) Most importantly, everyone knows you don't want to own guns in order to defend against tyranny anyway! YOU WANT GUNS IN ORDER TO FIGHT DEMOCRACY. You think you have a right to start shooting people if the majority of citizens happen to vote in a way you don't like. Sorry, no you fucking don't.
Yeah, take your AR and pick a fight with the US government, I dare you.
ReplyDelete-Doug in Sugar Pine
“Yeah, take your AR and pick a fight with the US government, I dare you.”
ReplyDeleteMaybe he will. Fascists are dumb enough to do this. Every so often, there is an outburst of Tim McVeigh-style violent assaults on the government, resulting in the self-styled “patriots” getting annihilated.
The major danger, though, isn’t that fascists overthrow the government outright, by force, which is very unlikely to succeed. The danger is that liberals let them sneak in the back door, by stealth.
The fundamental problem for everyone who cares about democracy is: How do you stick up for fundamental civil liberties that are the bedrock of a democracy, like free speech and due process, without allowing them to be abused by fascists, who hate democracy and would revoke these rights in an instant if they got hold of all the levers of power? Trump has already given us a preview of what that looks like.
And then there’s the money problem: A lot of rich people quite like the idea of fascism, and are happy to fund it.

DeleteDoug, them there dams aren't used for flood control, irrigation or power generation. Seems all they do is hold back progress of fish and recreators. Good things are worth waiting for. Sounds like this time they will be disappeared and make people happy.
ReplyDelete“Doug, them there dams aren't used for flood control, irrigation or power generation.”
ReplyDeleteNo, they are used for power generation. But the amount of power they use is relatively modest — estimated at 2% of the power generated by the local power company.
Also, the dams create one or more lakes upstream. The people who live along the lakefront aren’t happy that it will be taken away. Obviously, if you bought lakefront property, you aren’t happy when it turns into nothing-front property.
These negatives were deemed to be less important than the environmental benefits of removing the dams.

“30 tons of ammonium nitrate are missing from a railcar shipped from Wyoming to California.”
ReplyDeleteThe story is indicating that the authorities think the ammonium nitrate gradually fell out of the rail car over the course of its travel, because somebody left a gate open.
Hmmm. I guess the rest of us have to cross our fingers and hope that’s what actually happened. Thirty tons (!) sure sounds like a hell of a lot of explosive material to just go, “Whoops, guys, it fell out.”
I paid 26 bucks for 4 lbs of ammonium nitrate (21% nitrogen, 24% sulfur) from Dixondale Farms onion farm in Texas. It is used to boost onion growth during bulbing growth and works really well.
ReplyDeleteI figured the rail car was hijacked by white scumacysts since there a lot of militias out that way and Wyoming antelopes are incapable of opening under car doors.
ReplyDelete"I tried posting an article a few days ago and it was shot down by the gatekeepers at Google."

It is advertised as onion fertilizer and i suspect it would bve excellent for asparagus in moderation. I buy it for onion plants and it makes a big difference when you feed onion bulbs that are just starting to grow.

The officers who are taking him up on the offer are obviously interpreting “not woke” to mean police brutality and extracurricular violence is perfectly fine in the Sunshine State.

ReplyDelete"The hills we climb" poem read at Biden's inauguration banned in Florida. And here we thought Republicans were for freedom. I guess we're not free to read a poem by a young Black women. WTF?
“‘The hills we climb’ poem read at Biden's inauguration banned in Florida. And here we thought Republicans were for freedom. I guess we're not free to read a poem by a young Black women. WTF?”
ReplyDeleteThat’s what happens when there’s an insane rule that says even a single parent’s objection is enough to cause educational materials to be banned from the curriculum. It won’t be long before there’s nothing left for the school to teach anymore, and they just close the doors and let everyone stay ignorant.
In this particular case, the one parent is a mom who alleges the poem contains “hate messages.” (Apparently, any kind of demand for political reform constitutes a hate message.)
Also, she thinks the poem was written by Oprah. And obviously, Oprah is very dangerous. :-D
“It won’t be long before there’s nothing left for the school to teach anymore“
ReplyDeleteOh they’ll have plenty to teach. They can teach that the constitution was written by Jesus, Black people enslaved white people, the north invaded the south because they hated Black people and trump is the greatest president in history. Lots to learn.
That is indeed a powerful and well-written poem.
ReplyDeleteUp is down, wrong is right and love is hate. Obama, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton are race-baiters and T**** is the least racist guy you're ever gonna meet.
I'm not surprised that DeSantis banned the poem. It represents everything that he is trying to quell and put down. He is an extreme example of denial, and at the same time a manifestation of the most cherished Klan ideals. He is every old-timer NFL fan who hated the "taking of a knee." He puts old George Wallace to shame in his unabashed and pure racist thought. He's the sheriff that gave George zimmerman a ride home the night he murdered Trayvon Martin. He's the three rednecks who chased don Ahmed Arberry.
But most of all he is a big, fucking pussy. Sorry Ronald. There is nothing you can do to kill the movement any more than you can pray away the gay. Once when our nation fought hard to defeat the fascists, publishers imprinted upon the frontispieces of the war-time books this inscription:
Words are Weapons in the War of Ideas
I had a 2-volume collection of Carl Sandburgs's "Lincoln" that had this motto emblazoned on a ribbon held in the talons of a screaming bald eagle.
DeSantis is just a big sissy. Afraid of the words of one little girl.

“Politics Girl explains the debt ceiling fight:”
ReplyDeleteIn a democracy, if you want to reduce the debt, you either have to win elections, which Republicans cannot do, or you have to compromise, which Republicans do not like.
So, instead, they have assaulted democracy, once again, by resorting to a third option: extortion.
There, I explained the debt ceiling fight.
Also, Republicans do not actually care about the debt at all. Demands for debt reduction are just a pretext to block policies that protect the environment, or to inflict misery on people they hate (minorities of any kind, poor people).
