Meet the New Principal of John Glenn Elementary School

afnn.us/2023/09/08/meet-the-ne…

Fox News reports that the Western Heights School District in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, has installed a drag queen as principal of the John Glenn Elementary School. Fox has confirmed that the new hire, Shane Murnan, is “a drag queen who goes by the name of Shantel Mandalay.” Although Mandalay’s Facebook account has since been deleted, the article provides screenshots of him in his full drag glory.

#quote from pa
Psychopathy is something that the majority of people can agree is a bad thing, because it is selfish rather than altruistic, and seeks immediate gratification rather than long term benefit... On the other hand, this also gives the idea some appeal - and there is a kind of envy of someone who can operate successfully in such a fashion - successfully exploiting other people to satisfy their own wants. Such characters are quite often an archetypal anti-hero in modern media and society (e.g. a life dedicated to "sex and drugs and rock and roll" - so popular an aspiration for adolescents and young adults - is basically validating a psychopathic life).

But psychopathy does not really solve the problem of evil, because it just kicks the can a bit further down the road. After all, why is psychopathy regarded evil? Because it is selfish and short-termist - yes, but then why is selfishness a bad thing (if you can get away with it)? And why is long-termism better - when nobody really knows what will happen in the future, and in the long term we will all be dead?

And, if psychopathy is bad because it cares nothing for the group - then why is the group supposed to be more important than the individual? (And which group is the most important, and why - of all the many groups of which we are members?)

My point is that the concept of psychopathy cannot replace the need for an understanding of evil; and when it is used for that purpose, then the concept has serious problems - and is itself being used in the mainstream discourse to advance the totalitarian/ globalist agenda.

how many psychopaths are actually in the population... I thought that was interesting -- 1 in 100,000... if I got this right, that means there's about 80,000 psychopaths in the world population of 8 billion...
I think it's way more than 1 in 100,000. According to forensic psychologist Robert D. Hare the figure is closer to 1 in a 100.

Hare reports that about 1 percent of the general population meets the clinical criteria for psychopathy. Hare further claims that the prevalence of psychopaths is higher in the business world than in the general population. Figures of around 3–4% have been cited for more senior positions in business. A 2011 study of Australian white-collar managers found that 5.76 percent could be classed as psychopathic and another 10.42 percent dysfunctional with psychopathic characteristics.


[source]That would equate to about 85 million psychos in the world, or people in possession of psychopathic traits. Tack on to this the approximate estimate that 1 in 25 are sociopaths, and the timeless idiom that "s**t always floats to the top" [see example of the business world cited above], you have the perfect recipe for the totally f****d up world we have.

В Балтийском море начинаются учения НАТО по отражению предполагаемой российской атаки на с…


В субботу 9 сентября у берегов Эстонии и Латвии начинаются масштабные учения НАТО, во время которых пройдет отработка действий пре предполагаемом нападении России, сообщает ERR.

Помимо отражения атаки, будет также отработана контратака. Это, по словам немецкого вице-адмирала Яна Кристиана Каака, должно продемонстрировать РФ готовность сил Североатлантического альянса постоять за себя в этом регионе.

Учения получили название «Северное побережье». В них принимают участие более 30 кораблей и около трех тысяч военных из всех стран альянса, которые, помимо прочего, проведут десантные операции и будут тренироваться наносить удары с моря по суше. От США на учениях будет представлен 200-метровый корабль Mesa Verde, который способен транспортировать и обеспечивать высадку примерно 800 морпехов.

Кроме того, во время учений участники отработают обеспечение безопасности морских путей на случай блокировки предполагаемого «Сувалкского коридора», который Россия может «прорубить» с территории Беларуси, чтобы отсечь Польшу от Литвы и получить прямой сухопутный доступ к Калининграду. В таком случае союзники по НАТО будут вынуждены использовать для переброски снаряжения, войск и техники именно морской путь.

В июне в Европе проходили крупнейшие за последнее время военно-воздушные учения НАТО Air Defender 23. В них приняли участие 10 тысяч солдат и 250 самолетов из более чем 20 стран-членов Североатлантического альянса.

#Oliver Anthony - Rich Men North Of Richmond


I’ve been sellin’ my soul, workin’ all day
Overtime hours for bullsh– pay
So I can sit out here and waste my life away
Drag back home and drown my troubles away

It’s a damn shame what the world’s gotten to
For people like me and people like you
Wish I could just wake up and it not be true
But it is, oh, it is

Livin’ in the new world
With an old soul
These rich men north of Richmond
Lord knows they all just wanna have total control
Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do
And they don’t think you know, but I know that you do
‘Cause your dollar ain’t sh– and it’s taxed to no end
‘Cause of rich men north of Richmond

I wish politicians would look out for miners
And not just minors on an island somewhere
Lord, we got folks in the street, ain’t got nothin’ to eat
And the obese milkin’ welfare

God, if you’re 5 foot 3 and you’re 300 pounds
Taxes ought not to pay for your bags of fudge rounds
Young men are puttin’ themselves six feet in the ground
‘Cause all this damn country does is keep on kickin’ them down

Lord, it’s a damn shame what the world’s gotten to
For people like me and people like you
Wish I could just wake up and it not be true
But it is, oh, it is

Livin’ in the new world
With an old soul
These rich men north of Richmond
Lord knows they all just wanna have total control
Wanna know what you think, wanna know what you do
And they don’t think you know, but I know that you do
‘Cause your dollar ain’t sh– and it’s taxed to no end
‘Cause of rich men north of Richmond

I’ve been sellin’ my soul, workin’ all day

Суд в Ростове рассмотрит дело о подрыве замначальника ГИБДД в оккупированном Бердянске


Южный окружной военный суд рассмотрит уголовное дело в отношении граждан Украины Алексея Макаренко, Дамиана Омельяненко и Артура Шашенока. Их обвиняют в теракте за убийство полицейского, Омельяненко уже попадал к силовикам и после освобождения рассказывал о пытках.

По версии следствия, осенью 2022 года обвиняемые устроили взрыв, в результате которого был ранен замначальника отдела ГИБДД в оккупированном Бердянске Александр Колесников. Позже он умер полученных травм, кроме того, двое его спутников получили тяжелые ранения. Ими, по сообщению кремлевских СМИ, были комендант оккупированного Бердянска полковник Артем Бардин и первый замглавы оккупационной администрации Павел Ищук.

Макаренко, Омельяненко и Шашенока судят по статьям о совершении теракте, участии в террористическом сообществе и незаконном обороте оружия, информация о деле размещена в картотеке суда. 7 сентября материалы передали судье Южного окружного суда Сергею Ярошу, данные об этом есть в судебной картотеке. Дата заседания пока не назначена.

Дамиан Омельяненко ранее задерживали в мае 2022 года из-за его татуировок – двух скрещенных топоров на груди, рассказывала украинским СМИ его мать Татьяна Омельяненко. Его обвиняли в членстве в националистической организации, после освобождения Омельяненко рассказал матери, что подвергся пыткам током и избиениям со стороны сотрудников ФСБ и "второго такого раза не переживет". В ноябре 2022 года он был повторно арестован с другими обвиняемыми.

"Вероятно, что (признательные) показания задержанных даны под принуждением и угрозами российских оккупантов", - говорится в публикации украинского Центра журналистских расследований.

Бывшие украинские военнопленные рассказали "Би-би-си" о пытках в СИЗО №2 Таганрога в Ростовской области: их били, унижали и недостаточно кормили. Журналисты поговорили с десятком военнопленных – женщинами и мужчинами. Они рассказали, что в ходе ежедневных проверок и допросов сотрудники изолятора применяли к ним электрический ток, угрожали и запугивали, добиваясь ложных признаний.
В июне в Ростове-на-Дону начался суд над 24 бывшими участниками украинского полка "Азов", которым вменяют участие в террористической организации, которой признан "Азов" в России, а также попытку насильственного захвата власти на территории так называемой Донецкой народной республики.
Сайт Кавказ.Реалии рассказывал об активизации силовых структур в поиске и привлечении к ответственности предполагаемых сторонников украинских националистов после начала войны в Украине. Опрошенные редакцией Кавказ.Реалии эксперты и правозащитники сомневаются в самом факте какой-либо активности "Правого сектора" на Северном Кавказе и юге России.
В июле Южный окружной военный суд начал рассматривать дело 18 украинских пленных, которых российские силовики считают участниками запрещенного в стране батальона "Айдар". На данный момент это самое массовое уголовное дело в отношении этого подразделения. Сайту Кавказ.Реалии удалось установить личности большинства пленных и поговорить с родственниками одного из них.
Ранее в Ростове-на-Дону к 16 годам строгого режима приговорили бывшего украинского военного Дениса Мурыгу к 16 годам колонии. Его также обвинили в участии в "Айдаре". Мурыгу признали виновным в прохождении обучения с целью осуществления террористической деятельности и участии в незаконном вооруженном формировании. <br> <a href="https://www.kavkazr.com/a/sud-v-rostove-rassmotrit-delo-o-podryve-zamnachaljnika-gibdd-v-okkupirovannom-berdyanske/32585424.html">&raquo;&nbsp;Original...</a> <br> <br>#Россия #Кавказ<br>

As I read up on Deno’s plan for a package registry I realise that whereas “node but better and more webby” is 👍🏻, “npm but better and more webby” isn’t necessarily a good idea.

I guess I don’t want a registry, I want something more like debian’s package archive for web modules with maintainers and managers whose priority is making sure that the package is safe and usable and aren’t necessarily involved in the making of the code that’s being packaged.

#Uncle Lucius - Makin' overtime to Keep The Wolves Away


Took my first breath, where the muddy Brazos, spills into the gulf of Mexico
Where the skyline’s colored by chemical plants, t’put bread on the table of the working man
Where the working man does his best to provide, safety and shelter for kids and a wife
Given little love n soul every day, making over time to keep the wolves away

Well I was barely thirteen when the company man, tried to dig my daddy’s grave
It happened on a French owned tanker ship, spilling poison in the Galveston Bay
Where the liquid fire filled his lungs and his eyes, silenced any mortal cries
Cold and the grip of death stinging pain, he fought like hell to keep the wolves away

For the next few years dad was sick as a dog, but he made a recovery just to spite the odds
Settlement came and we moved out of town, where the sky isn’t heavy with refinery clouds
Yeah he’s still alive he’s doing good he’s in his fifties
But the moneys running out, and he’s pinching for pennies
So goin’ for broke with every song I’ve made, ‘cos now it’s my turn to keep the wolves away

SpaceX can't get it's giant rocket up again, so to speak

Leçons, par Régis Debray (Le Monde diplomatique, septembre 2023)


#histoire #politique #Chili #Allende

Il avait vécu en épicurien ; il s’est donné la mort en stoïcien, le canon de l’arme retourné contre sa bouche. Le bon vivant Allende, ce 11 septembre 1973, eut une fin à la romaine. Cela n’était pas prévu. Qu’il partirait pour la légende. Et resterait dans les mémoires. Il y avait deux hommes en lui, et du dehors on n’avait vu, jusqu’alors, le soussigné comme les autres, que le premier : un rad-soc de bonne humeur, confiant dans la muñeca (1), aimant le pisco, la bonne chère, les blagues et les jolies femmes. Car Allende avait de l’humour, chose rare à gauche, où l’esprit de sérieux est de tradition, et ne posait pas au héros qu’il deviendrait un jour. Il n’avait ni barbe ni béret, el compañero Presidente. De grosses lunettes d’écaille, une petite moustache débonnaire, la voix goguenarde et chaleureuse, de bonne humeur, fraternel et même franc-maçon — comme Pinochet du reste. Tout, dirais-je, pour éloigner les ombres fatidiques — et tromper son monde.

Sortant de prison, en Bolivie, des semaines durant, j’ai été son invité, celui de Neruda aussi, dans sa maison d’Isla Negro, et me repens encore du petit ton prétentieux de donneur de leçons marxiste-léniniste qui fut le mien en conversant avec le président du Chili devant la caméra de Littin. Lui, le « réformiste » ; moi, le « révolutionnaire ». Un cliché. Un jeu de rôles. La boursouflure de l’époque. Ma seule excuse : près de quatre années d’isolement en cellule, de quoi se monter le bourrichon. Et rêver, bêtement, de châteaux en Espagne.

Le Chili d’alors, il est vrai, euphorique et balnéaire (mais le Pacifique est très froid), cachait bien son jeu. Pas punitive et puritaine pour un sou, l’Unité populaire. Optimiste. Pas faite pour la haine ni la hargne, passion noire et visqueuse — et lointain était le suicide du président Balmaceda, au siècle précédent. Le martèlement des casseroles, dans les beaux quartiers, ne faisait pas oublier les huîtres, de merveilleux oursins, et un blanc savoureux. Plus d’aimables créatures, un Congrès très actif, des militaires civilisés. On disait : un parfum d’Europe du bout du monde, une Angleterre en Amérique du Sud. On oubliait celle du Nord, qui en silence préparait et finançait la guerre (10 millions de dollars, pour commencer, en fonds spéciaux). Blocus, financements, sabotages et, quand nécessaire, assassinats. Camionneurs, mines de cuivre, la Maison Blanche et la CIA ne chômaient pas. Mais c’est après qu’on l’apprendra. La presse a parfois du retard, les militants aussi. Au pays de la bonhomie et des compromis de dernière minute, il n’était pas bien de penser à mal. La férocité n’était pas au programme. Allende, qui se laissait tutoyer, sans rancune, me montrait souvent, en souriant, sur son bureau une photo dédicacée du Che : « à Salvador Allende, qui va au même endroit par d’autres chemins ». On peut penser légitimement qu’un autre chemin mène à un autre endroit, mais cela semblait une aimable et très irréaliste métaphore.

« La démocratie est un exercice de modestie », disait Camus. Elle s’apprend avec l’âge et on peut abréger les délais. Je ne nierai pas que le Chili, où je suis souvent revenu jusqu’au coup d’État (attendu mais sous des formes plus ou moins gentilles), a précipité l’apprentissage d’un petit Français trop sûr de lui. L’immolation d’un grand monsieur, qui n’en avait ni l’air ni la prétention, avec, dans la foulée, tant de camarades assassinés, nous rappelle que le tragique peut encore, en Occident et sous des masques paisibles, nous sauter à la figure. Une leçon à garder dans un coin de sa tête, même quand, c’est mon cas, la tête s’est désintéressée du jeu politique. Pourvu que le cœur se souvienne que ce n’est pas toujours ni partout un petit jeu anodin. Compañero Allende, ne disparais pas. On te doit tellement dans l’Europe oublieuse comme ailleurs, un peu partout. S’en souvenir, cinquante ans après, n’est jamais de trop.

NY, NY, NY (Manhattan): Performing arts center finally opens at ground zero after 2 decades of setbacks and changed plans

People who only have experience in corporate life don't understand how hard it is to get guys to work for nothing, or worse, at great risk to their normie standard of living.

In the world of money if you manage 500 employees they damn well better put the work in or their ass is grass.

In 'the movement' the more work you put in the greater the odds that you will be doxxed, lawfared or killed.

Enrique Tarrio knows that now.

There is a notorious incident where when Star Trek was about to air the publicity photo they sent out of Spock had his ears airbrushed to remove the points because the network was worried about offending Christians as Spock looked a lot like the devil.

Notorious angry jew Harlan Ellison was obsessed with finding out who was responsible for it.

'How dare you erase our satanic heritage!'

The CEO of Warner Bros. is telling his shareholders that they are underutilizing the franchises they own, among them D.C., Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings.

Leaving D.C. aside, Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings have had good to great adaptations already. There is absolutely nothing to be gained by remaking Peter Jackson's adaptations and quite a bit to lose - mostly money.

Harry Potter had near perfect casting, with the only blight being Richard Harris dying and being replaced by a much less charismatic actor. No one will ever equal Alan Rickman as Snape.

Back to LOTR, imagine having to fill Viggo Mortenson or Andy Serkis' shoes. Even that old queen Ian McKellan is perfect as Gandalf. It's hard to think of a role that isn't brilliantly cast, King Theoden, Eomer and Eowyn are absolutely spot on.

Of course the CEO hasn't the slightest idea that franchises aren't all perpetual sliding timeline money machines like The Simpsons or... The Simpsons.

Really, that almost never happens.

tried to buy horse paste last week from a trusted supplier - nope - they said my address wasn't valid. which might have been true, since I moved, and it's new construction, and the address hasn't been all-the-way verified in the county records.

tried again today, and my card got declined. big banner on their website to call my credit union.

called the credit union, and they said there is unusual fraud activity for that vendor. They issued a temporary pass so I tried it again.

Got rejected again. I called and they manually tried to run it - nope. So I had to cancel my order.

was it really #fraud, or was it the #banksters? remember: they are the ones who lied about horsepaste. but no one's in jail, right? so they got away with (and are still getting away with) their little lie.....

I hope my horses are ok....
