How a tagged-and-bagged soldier was saved from the dead

youtube.com/watch?v=f3e5NkvQXY…

Everyone in John Colone's unit thought he was dead after he was shot four times in 1968 during the Vietnam War. They were so certain, they put him in a body bag and sent him to the morgue. Lucky for Colone, the morgue had a very thorough attendant. Steve Hartman had to hear this story for himself.

For music lovers who want 15-minute to 30-minute true music stories, I've been playing in the background this guys stuff... a bunch of stuff I knew in parts, but his videos put them all together... but also lots of stuff I never knew about.

Like here's a "grunge" guy who was in Nirvana and then Soundgarden, and then became a green beret. Wacky....

Definitely read this whole thread about the eBook manager calibre adding AI slop to "chat with books", and why that's a horrible move that immediately destroys trust in calibre. Here are some highlights I especially appreciated:

Here, Calibre, in one release, went from a tool readers can use to, well, read, to a tool that fundamentally views books as textureless content, no more than the information contained within them. Anything about presentation, form, perspective, voice, is irrelevant to that view. Books are no longer art, they're ingots of tin to be melted down.

It is completely irrelevant to me whether this new slopware is opt-in or opt-out. Its mere presence and endorsement fundamentally undermines that stance, that it is good, actually, if readers and authors can exist in relationship to each other without also being under the control of a extractive mindset that sees books as mere vehicles, unimportant as artistic works in and of themselves.

One last thing about the Calibre thing for now, then I promise I'll take a break until I can coalesce some of these thoughts into something more coherent. Anyway, @whitequark@mastodon.

Dr. Mary Talley Bowden explained that none of the politicians, BigPharma insiders and Intelligence-Industrial Complex apparatchiks behind this eugenics bioterror program ever subjected themselves or their children to these deadly injections, and that all PSYOP-19 shots must be pulled from the market at once: ...

... In other words, the “vaccine” wasn’t released for COVID, COVID was released ...

Inside: Metabolizing the theory of "political capitalism"; and more!

Archived at: pluralistic.net/2025/12/06/big…

#Pluralistic

1/

The second inauguration of Grover Cleveland (1893) before a bunting-draped Library of Congress. The image has been colorized. Cleveland has been replaced with a politician figure making 'V' fingers in front of a bank of microphones; the politician's head has been replaced with Benjamin Franklin's head from a 1999 issue US $100 bill. That same bill has been matted in as the background of the inauguration scene.
