damn, can't there be just one good Kamla/Kamala on the world stage
From Maduro's statement on catching CIA-affiliated operatives staging a false flag operation, "The government of Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar has renounced the sovereignty of Trinidad and Tobago to act as a military colony subordinate to US hegemonic interests, turning its territory into a US aircraft carrier for war throughout the Caribbean against Venezuela, Colombia, and all of South America,, Caracas asserted.

"Then they came for the pickleball players..."

#housing #bayarea
excerpt from local news website for affluent east bay towns in California: "'San Ramon already has a shortage of pickleball courts,' said Steve Meritt, a neighboring resident and member of ClubSport. 'With all the high density housing that's going in, it is further overloading the court. Now with this project, it will reduce pickleball capacity, further straining pickleball playability. What is the city or Toll Brothers going to do to increase pickleball capacity? They're removing this capacity, so is Toll Brothers going to pick up the tab for new pickleball courts? Or is the city going to pick up the tab for new pickleball courts?'"

i don't think there is a meaningful distinction between working "in accordance with local law as it pertains to local gatherings and protests" and cooperating with law enforcement, given that local LE fabricates the methods of enforcement and the details of the laws themselves on the spot
from a January 2025 post on r/50501 "We remain committed to non-violence. 50501 is a peaceful movement dedicated to positive change through nonviolent action. We unequivocally condemn any form of violence, threats of violence, or the suggestion of using weapons in connection with our movement. There is absolutely no place for such rhetoric in our spaces. To be completely clear: Weapons are not permitted at any of our events. Our mission is rooted in peaceful advocacy, and we will not allow any actions that could endanger our supporters, the public, or law enforcement. In all of our events, we have worked in accordance with local law as it pertains to local gatherings and protesting, including pulling permits. We expect all of our supporters to conduct themselves awfully and responsibly, and disavow anything advocating for disruption or violence. Furthermore, we have a zero-tolerance policy regarding discussions of firearms, violence, or any form of incitement on our channels and platforms. Anyone who violates this policy will be immediately banned. There will be no warnings, no second chances. We urge everyone to remain peaceful, lawful, and committed to the principles of nonviolent action. 50501 stands for justice, progress, and the power of the people — peacefully. Let's keep it that way."

taking two things you've said 1) it's not a party but individual politicians with some affiliations, and 2) 3rd party voting invariably pushes democrats right, i'm left with a less extreme but directionally similar impression of the prevailing dynamic as this
MAGA guy claims to be compelled solely by being criticized as a racist, to then be so racist that he adopts actual nazi aesthetics, obviously something he was willing to do regardless of other inputs, not only making him irredeemable but also completely proving the original criticism

@josholson.bsky.social @daveanthony.bsky.social i've been binging your stunning work of anthropology, The West Wing Thing, and i've reached s3e8 where Josh predicts our exact current state of affairs based on some earlier comment from Dave, maybe your best predictive work yet? [sadly.]
excerpted transcript of season 3 episode 8 of The West Wing Thing part 1 of 4: "I mean, yeah, it's, this, and the problem is, is that this attitude still exists. You know, you can go on Twitter and you can, you know, watch the people that follow near a tenant or whoever, and they still think that if Trump goes away, then it all goes back to normal. Like, they're out of their fucking mind. Well, yeah, and that's the problem, is you've opened the door for all these people, all the folks in my Happy Little Poem, and, you know, I'll probably do five sequels, but they've all been embraced and welcomed back into the fold of something or other, so that when Trump goes, and look, I mean, you know, if we had the election today, Trump would lose in a landslide. Who the fuck knows where we'll be in five months? None of it has anything to do with how well Joe Biden is connecting with people or campaigning." excerpted transcript of season 3 episode 8 of The West Wing Thing part 2 of 4: "This guy's just doing a catastrophic fucking job and his base is fleeing him, and that's wonderful. But we're going to be left after him with all these fucking monsters who should be rejected along with him, who will have finagled their way into the hearts of good liberals everywhere, and now they're the good guys. And what do you think they're going to do? You think they're going to, like, now that they're in with the Democrats in a way they've never been before, they're going to start pushing Joe Biden to go for Medicare for all? They're going to keep dragging the party to the fucking right. And four years after fucking Biden, you know, you may have been the first person who said this to me a couple of years ago, and it was one of those things where you go, oh, yeah, yeah." excerpted transcript of season 3 episode 8 of The West Wing Thing part 3 of 4: "But now it just seems so patently obvious. You know, as we sit here with, you know, a fucking virus out of control, half the countries of the world won't let Americans into them now because we're so fucking stupid. There's no leadership on either side dealing with this thing. You've got people in the streets. You've got, you know, cops run wild, fucking murdering people. And what are you going to do? You're going to get rid of Trump, and you're not going to address any of the things that brought that stuff. And four years after it, it's insane. The degree of fucking horrifying, just absolutely identifiable fascism that is going to descend on this country when Biden or whoever his VP is loses in four years." excerpted transcript of season 3 episode 8 of The West Wing Thing part 4 of 4: "Because these idiots have just opened the door to all these fucking ghouls. We forgive you, because you don't like Donald Trump. And it's stuff like this. It's people selling the myth that these are just good people. They're good people on both sides, Dave. No, they're fucking aren't. No, they aren't. And they just don't. The centrist Democrats who talk this West Wing bullshit just don't know how dangerous what they're doing is. And they all say, well, that's what the left is, because if the left tries to push their agenda, then we'll lose all the elections. But in truth, every single poll for ages, I want to say 20 years, has shown on individual issues, people side with everything the left wants."

#SavedYouAClick
Intense periods of exercise create a build-up of hydrogen ions in muscles, leading to acidity that can increase fatigue and create the "burning" sensation felt during hard exercise. As a base, sodium bicarbonate acts as a "buffer" that counters the acidity. Taking sodium bicarbonate doesn't run afoul of World Anti-Doping Agency rules; in fact, even World Athletics, track and field's global governing body, has described it as an "established performance supplement." The benefits of "bicarb" have been known for decades, said Steve Magness, a coach and former elite runner who has written multiple books about performance. But athletes have been wary of it for just as long for an often unpleasant reason: The odds of a performance boost had to be weighed against the risk of race-wrecking gastrointestinal distress. Still, Shannon was surprised by some of his study's findings, such as that the riders using bicarbonate also were able to go faster without a change in their heart rate or the maximum amount of oxygen they were able to use during exercise, known as VOz. "What that's saying is that you're able to sort of work harder but have less cardiovascular strain and have a better performance improvement in comparison to a placebo, which was really interesting," Shannon said. "That suggests increased [muscle] contractility, which has never been seen, at this duration and at this intensity." When Magness was running two decades ago, an information gap left him to wonder how East African competitors were training. Social media and the internet have opened access to other training methods and better coaching that don't burn out young runners and created a bigger pool of strong runners, Magness said. Those young athletes are watching peers run faster than ever and believing confidently they can, too. They are powered by cutting-edge advancements Roger Bannister could only have dreamed of when he was chasing the first sub-4-minute mile - along with a basic household item, too. "What the last couple years have done is kind of shift that mindset of, like, here's the past and here's what we were able to do," Magness said. "But now the game has changed."

i hate to say it but are we heading for the plot of Caprica

[being canceled by the Syfy network is our best hope right now]
Wikipedia entry on the show, Caprica "On October 27, 2010, Syfy canceled the show, citing low ratings, and pulled the remaining five episodes of the series from its broadcast schedule. The series continued to air as scheduled on Space, finishing with the series finale on November 30, 2010. The remaining episodes were released on DVD in the U.S. on December 21, 2010 and aired on Syfy in a burn-off marathon on January 4, 2011."
