"Titanic - The Musical" - Lincoln Theatre Company - Opening Night, September 13, 2024


Excellent show up in Lincoln!

Bows.

Loud and Proud Democrat!

Because of this recent "concept" of an assassination attempt Republicans are now asserting that if Democrats say ANYTHING AT ALL about ANYTHING, it's incendiary, dangerous rhetoric. 

What a bunch of whiny, triggered snowflakes! Join me in being a loud and proud Democrat!:
The idea here seems to be that Republicans can say anything they want, about anyone they want, and it’s fine. “They’re destroying our country,” Trump charged during last week’s debate, falsely accusing Harris of—among other things—being a communist and supporting the murder of babies. But if Democrats object, they’re being divisive.

Big Harvest Moon Coming Up!

In this year of maximum lunar standstill, the moon is almost as far south as it ever gets. Several months ago that would have occurred at full moon, but it looks like it’s shifted now to first quarter. In two weeks, at last quarter, the moon will be nearly as far north as it ever gets. This year, 2024/25, the moon will wander like crazy across the sky.

Watching The Tropics

I'm keeping an eye on the moisture from Tropical Storm Ileana, as it crosses southern Arizona and plunges into New Mexico. Maybe some rain! 

Potential Tropical Storm Eight is about to transition into Tropical Storm Helene off the coast of the Carolinas. Heavy rain. 

Tropical Storm Gordon is weakening far out in the Atlantic, and poses no threat to anyone. 

There is a suggestion of storminess traveling from the Caribbean across Cuba and up Florida's east coast in about a week, but it's too early to say whether any of it reaches tropical storm status.

"The Critic"

This is an excellent movie! Saw it over at the Tower Theater.

 

Time For Laura Loomer's Fifteen Minutes

I've been trying to understand Laura Loomer a bit better. She was born in Tucson in 1993; daughter of a doctor, with a mentally-ill brother, and part of the Jewish community. I was in Tucson from 1980-88, and had some contact with the Jewish community there. Maybe just having been part of the milieu I might have gained some special insight on her upraising. 

But no. There's that extra element. For example, just by having been in Los Angeles in the late 60s doesn't mean you understand the Manson family. With Laura Loomer, that element seems to have come from childhood neglect, and that most-toxic of babysitters, being plopped in front of a TV tuned to FOX News. Everything else follows.

Cats and Dogs


And that's we have a Stable Genius!
