Watching The Blues Brothers (1980) this evening. It's one of my favs for many reasons (I'm a gen jones). Tonight I was wondering why the nazis were included in the movie, so I googled (why were nazis included in the movie the blues brothers). See the AI overview below. #NoFascism

"FEMA Ends BRIC Program, Leaving States in the Lurch" April 4, 2025
www.floods.org/news-views/f...

"[BRIC] FEMAs largest pre-disaster mitigation program..."
"FEMA Ends BRIC Program, Leaving States in the Lurch:" “The decision to dismantle FEMA’s largest pre-disaster mitigation program is beyond reckless,” said ASFPM Executive Director Chad Berginnis. “Although ASFPM has had some qualms about how FEMA’s BRIC program was implemented, it was still a cornerstone of our nation’s hazard mitigation strategy and the agency has worked to make improvements each year. Eliminating it entirely — mid-award cycle, no less — defies common sense. Cutting funding from projects already underway will leave states and communities scrambling, increasing disaster risk to families and businesses instead of reducing it. The impact of this decision will be felt for decades to come.” Link included to Association of State Floodplain Managers. "...Administration’s decision to walk away from BRIC is hard to understand. For years, Congress has provided communities a clear and consistent commitment to resilience, only to now be told by the federal government that you are on your own. It raises questions about whether the President’s Executive Order on resilience is just a ruse to walk away from the role the federal government has in assisting communities with long-term disaster recovery and to prevent those losses in the first place."

Still relevant.

Review written by Lucy Patrick of, "The Wrong Way Home: Uncovering the Patterns of Cult Behavior in American Society" by Arthur J. Deikman, 1990
"Although we live in a democracy, cult behavior manifests itself in our unwillingness to question the judgment of our leaders, our tendency to devalue outsiders and to avoid dissent. We can overcome cult behavior, [Deikman] says by recognizing that we have dependency needs that are inappropriate for mature people, by increasing anti-authoritarian education, and by encouraging personal autonomy and the free exchange of ideas." ~ Lucy Patrick, Library Journal Dec 1990 v115 n21 p144(1) Mag.Coll.: 58A2543. The Wrong Way Home: Uncovering the Patterns of Cult Behavior in American Society, by Arthur J. Deikman. Review written by Lucy Patrick.

Schotzi and Kunie. There was beauty in their strength, in their devotion. They were so very loved.

The little one was fierce. One dog to rule them all.
Black and white photo of two dogs on a leather couch. A small, greying dachshund (Schatzi) is sitting in the fore ground, and a very large mixed breed dog (Kunie) with light and dark coat is laying down behind the doxie. Both are staring off in camera to the left - something has definitely caught their attention.
