Random Thoughts on TV, Movies, Gaming, Current Events and Whatever IFeel Like
SUNDAY, JANUARY 12, 2020NEIL PEART
One of the all-time great drummers, Neil Peart of Rush, died onFriday.
Rush was my favorite band for a big chunk of my life. They spoke to my intellectual side, producing progressive rock with sometimes fantastical and sometimes mature and sober lyrics that were always smart and thoughtful. Neil was the drummer and lyricist for the group. The band itself was composed of three good friends who seem to be very decent and thoughtful people; there were never any embarrassing headlines about Rush. Neil himself had been through some tragic times in his life but lived with wit and grace. A few years ago, I became aware that many of the greatest musicians on the planet agreed that Neil Peart was one of the best drummers who ever played. It made me happy. Farewell, Neil Peart. Here are a couple of tributes. The first video demonstrates his amazing gift. The second is included because Neil's reading of "Hey, is that my sandwich" cracks my son up. I also love the discussion of how to pronounce Peart.Posted by Ipecac

Want to get a good sense of where the United States is from a national security perspective vis a vis Iran and how we got to the brink of war? Click on the Tweet above and read the thread. To say it's eye-opening isn't entirely accurate because you should have suspected this by now. To say it explains A LOT is more accurate.Posted by Ipecac

Stupid-Stupid-Stupid WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 08, 2020 IMPEACHEDPRESIDENT SCREWS US OVER ON THE WORLD STAGE? For some reason (oh yeah, his narcissism), Trump likes to say that he's made the United States popular among nations again after President Obama tanked our prestige abroad. Of course, like most of what he says, TRUMP IS LYING. Proof, you say? Keep in mind that these are some of our closestallies
.
Yeah, that's pretty unambiguous.Posted by Ipecac

Labels: Not My President WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 01, 2020 HIS HOBBY IS YET ANOTHER LIE AND A CON As I've noted before,
Trump plays golf a shit-ton more than other Presidents ever did. He also bitched about it A LOT when Obama went golfing. So here are some up to date statistics:
> At this point in his Presidency, President Obama had hit the links> on 88 DAYS.
> Trump has done so on 227 DAYS. Perhaps even worse, while Obama never made any money while he golfed, Trump has made millions because he golfs at his own clubs, which he refused to divest, and charges the government for all costs. He even charges the Secret Service for golf cart use while they protect hishuge ass.
> The total cost of Trump's golf outings so far? $118 MILLION of> taxpayer money.
He really does have the best interests of Americans at heart.Posted by Ipecac

THE FORCE CONFUSES
I don't think I understand the morality of the Force. First, a quick review. (There are no spoilers for THE RETURN OFSKYWALKER).
Going from the original trilogy, the first we learn of the Force comes from old Ben Kenobi who says that one of his pupils, Darth Vader, was seduced by the "dark side" of the Force and betrayed and murdered the Jedi (who represent the "light side" of the Force). There's no more indication given what it takes to be on the dark side, although Vader is pretty murdery and supports an evil empire, so there's that. Then, in THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, as Luke trains with Yoda, Yoda talks about how the dark side of the Force is rooted in anger and aggression and that it can corrupt you if you use it. In other words, take shortcuts with the Force, and you're on a path to the dark side. But what does that really mean? Finally, in RETURN OF THE JEDI, the Emperor's goal is to capture Luke so the Emperor can "finish Luke's training" and make him an acolyte of the dark side. We know from what he does that Luke's a good guy, so is it reasonable that he would make a choice to become a bad guy? Can the Emperor or the Force make him into a bad guy against his will? The prequel and sequel trilogies pretty much back up the outlineabove.
So now I'm going to do something stupid and probably redundant of a whole bunch of existing web content that has already parsed this out a million times. I'm going to give my lazy, half-assed and ill-thought-out analysis of what all that means. I have two basicproblems.
My first problem is with the implications of this standard scenario. You train to use the Force and at some point during your training, you have to make a choice, light side or dark side. Now if you're not a mass murdering monster, who would ever pick the dark side? Only those already evil would do that and why would anyone train them? Clearly Luke and Rey aren't evil assholes, so would there really be a risk? And if there is any kind of significant risk of creating a Force-using supervillain, why would the Jedi train thousands and thousands of newJedi?
Yoda says the choice of the dark side is because the dark side is easier and more seductive, but what does that even mean? That it's addictive and personality-changing? And if you do pick the dark side, does that mean you're automatically going to be a bad guy? Or could you use the dark side abilities for good? The way it's presented, it seems like those who turn to the dark side don't have any say in the matter. You use the dark side, boom! -- you become part of a group comfortable with authoritarianism and murder at any scale. In the sequel trilogy, while training with Luke to become a Jedi, Kylo Ren is seduced by the dark side of the Force and immediately becomes a mass murdering monster. Was he okay with mass murder when he was Ben Solo? He fits the pattern exactly. And then there's my problem with the redemption of Darth Vader (as well as the attempted redemption of Kylo Ren in THE FORCE AWAKENS). Darth Vader is a bad guy. We literally see him kill a bunch of guys on screen, and he's at least an accessory to mass murder on Alderaan and presumably many other worlds. But Luke, and the other Force users in the movies, talk of "turning" Vader back to the light side. Vader is eventually turned by Luke and demonstrates this by tossing the Emperor down a shaft and saving the Rebellion while ending the Empire. Great! But does that absolve him of his crimes? Is Vader now a good guy? Does "turning" to the light side negate everything bad you've done? Isn't he still guilty of genocide? What if he had survived -- would the New Republic have tried and convicted him or is everything all good now? You can ask the same questions of Kylo Ren. So many questions. In conclusion, I don't think any of the morality of the Force was really thought out. File that one under "duh".Posted by Ipecac

TUESDAY, DECEMBER 24, 2019 IMPEACHEDPRESIDENT SAYS WHAT? - WINDMILLS (AGAIN) From a rant to the Turning Point USA loons: > I NEVER UNDERSTOOD WIND.

THEY ARE MADE > IN CHINA AND GERMANY MOSTLY, VERY FEW MADE HERE, ALMOST NONE, BUT > THEY ARE MANUFACTURED, TREMENDOUS — IF YOU ARE INTO THIS — > TREMENDOUS FUMES AND GASES ARE SPEWING INTO THE ATMOSPHERE.

What wisdom and insight. Let's unpack just a few points: * He "knows windmills very much" and "has studied it better thananybody." Uh huh.
* The windmill manufacturing industry in the United States employs tens of thousands of workers and generates billions in revenue. * Yes, I know we have a world. * Yes, the world is tiny in comparison to the universe! Ten pointsto Slytherin!
* Fumes are spewing. Good to know. * Fossil fuel plants kill almost 3000 times more birds thanwindmills.
And the loons cheer him on for this senile drivel.So, so proud.

I will admit, though, that I'm really happy he clarified that he doesn't flush the toilet ten to fifteen times. His crowd does that, apparently. Good to know.Posted by Ipecac

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 15, 2019 ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD I was a big Quentin Tarantino fan for years. Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown. Loved 'em. Enjoyed and respected what he did with Kill Bill 1&2. I absolutely HATED Death Proof. I also enjoyed his more recent movies, but he's definitely gotten more self-indulgent inhis movie-making.
The other night, Carol and I streamed Tarantino's ninth, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, which is more or less a buddy picture, telling the story of a fading TV Western star (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his stunt double (Brad Pitt). In a parallel story, a young actress, newly married to a famous movie director, wanders around Hollywood in 1969. I'm not going to do a big review, but just say that while I generally enjoyed the movie, and I thought they did an incredible job recreating the atmosphere of 1969 Hollywood, the film was way too undisciplined. Carol and I both thought the pacing was too slow and scene after scene dragged on for way too long. This includes long driving scenes, long walking scenes, and interminable housekeeping scenes (people making meals, feeding dogs, making drinks). It all comes in with a run time of 2 hours and 41 minutes. Frankly, I would have cut 30 minutes. After I watched it, I read some online reviews. To my amusement, a lot of movie-savvy folk were saying that this was Tarantino's most personal film in a long time, and one of his most laid-back and funny. While there was some humor, as expected, I didn't think it was at all laid-back. That's mostly because the entire movie was suffused with a dread and tension for me. You see, the actress mentioned above, played by Margot Robbie, was Sharon Tate. As you may know, Sharon Tate was among seven victims of the Manson family in August, 1969. Knowing that one of the main characters in the movie, and several of her friends, were going to be gruesomely murdered, took away some of the breeziness for me. (And no, I'm not going to say anything about how the movie ended.)Posted by Ipecac

THURSDAY, DECEMBER 05, 2019IN YOUR NAME
Got five minutes?
Watch the video below. You'll see corrupt, incompetent, racist, uncaring Border Patrol officers leave a sixteen year old boy to die in a concrete cell. This boy, Carlos Gregorio Hernandez Vasquez, a 16-year-old Guatemalan migrant, committed no crime. But this child's sentence for fleeing poverty in his country was death. All of this is being done in your name by the government of the United States, due to the racist policies of the Trump Administration. Oh, and on top of all of this? The Border Patrol apparently falsified records showing he was being monitored, and then lied about the incident to the press and other authorities. The whole story ishere: ProPublica

If Trump is still in office next year and you vote for him, then you're voting for this.Posted by Ipecac

Labels: Not My President WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 04, 2019IMPEACH THE MF
I've been streaming the Trump impeachment hearings over the past few weeks. If you're an American (or an interested non-American), I urge you to do the same as much as you can tolerate. Not only are the hearings a good civics lesson, but they're very illuminating regarding the sheer inanity and stupidity of quite a few Congressmen and they clearly demonstrate how much the Republican party has degenerated completely into the Party of Trump. Today's hearing in the Judiciary Committee was fascinating. Rather than fact witnesses, as we saw in the Intelligence Committee hearings, these were four law professors. Their job was to address the standards for impeachment and opine on whether Trump's actions in regards to Ukraine are impeachable. (Spoiler: they sure as hell are!) Three professors were called by the Democrats and were uniformly smart, focused and impressive. They agreed that Trump's actions were impeachable. The fourth professor was called by the Republicans and his main argument against impeachment was that he hasn't seen ANY facts from the weeks of testimony so far, and that all of this was going WAY TOO FAST and could they please slow down?!? He was not impressive, may be actually blind and deaf, and kind of adumbass.
In any event, the Republican Congressmen did a terrible job since they have no real defense for what Trump did. One of their main arguments today was that an impeachment proceeding is divisive, should therefore be bipartisan, and since not a single Republican voted to have these proceedings, they were by definition not bipartisan and therefore illegitimate. This is, of course, a standard that would guarantee no President could ever be impeached because that President's party would have an absolute veto over any proceedings by not voting for it. Yes, that is very, very stupid. (Not a Spoiler: They don't really have a firm grasp on the whole Constitution and the law thing.) The rest of their arguments were equally off-point and vapid. They'vegot nothing.

IN WHICH I EXPLAIN HOW LINEAR TIME WORKS We're coming up on the centennial anniversary of women's right to vote in America! That's great! Congress recently passed the Women’s Suffrage Centennial Commemorative Coin Act, which calls for minted coins celebrating the 100th anniversary. Yesterday, Trump signed the act among some actual women and asked a really great question! I will, in an attempt to be helpful, answerthat question.
Here's what he said: > “THEY’VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR YEARS AND YEARS. I’M CURIOUS > WHY WASN’T IT DONE A LONG TIME AGO? AND ALSO, I GUESS THE ANSWER > TO THAT IS BECAUSE NOW I’M PRESIDENT, WE GET THINGS DONE. WE GET A > LOT OF THINGS DONE THAT NOBODY ELSE GOT DONE.” Did you see the question? Trump asked why the celebration of the 100th anniversary of women's suffrage wasn't done a long time ago. That's a real big boy question! I'm old enough to remember when Jimmy Carter tried and tried and yet failed to celebrate the 100th anniversary while he was President. What a loser! And did President Obama celebrate the 100th anniversary while he was President? No, he also just couldn't get it done. What a chump. (Psst! The answer, is, of course, because it's only now 100 years since women were given the right to vote!) It's clear that Trump is the only President who could've gotten this done, and boy did he! As is well known, commemorative legislation is incredibly difficult to get through Congress. I know because I was discussing it with a friend on National Sweater Day last year. So Happy Suffrage, Women of America! Go out and use this right and vote this clownish asshat out of the Oval Office next year.Posted by Ipecac

Stupid-Stupid-Stupid SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 2019A SIMPLE DEFINITION
Whenever conservatives/Republicans want to shut down or prevent a program they don't like, they trot out the usual boogeyman that they've spent decades creating: TAXES! Just saying the word is meant to invoke such fear that the program is almost instantly renderedpolitically toxic.
This scare tactic is why we can't have nice things. For those with the fear, everything is too expensive except endless wars, new weapons we don't need, and tax cuts for rich people, which, in turn, makes other programs even less affordable. Trump is running almost a trillion dollar deficit this year because of the tax cuts for the rich. This isby design.
So, the next time you hear someone trot out this boogeyman, remember this simple definition. TAXES ARE THE PRICE WE PAY FOR CIVILIZATION. That's it. Without taxes, we don't have roads, airports, hospitals, utilities, laws, police, firemen, regulations to keep people safe, weather reporting, defense, national parks, a space program, consumer protection, and many more things that make modern life livable and more enjoyable. Nobody is dying to pay taxes and we all want them to be as low as practical. Frankly, I don't want anyone paying taxes who can't afford to do so. (That's another favorite Republican gambit. The Poors have to pay taxes so they'll have "skin in the game".) But when we give huge tax cuts to those who don't need them, we all suffer. Our civilization suffers. Let's work on rehabilitating the word taxes so it's not used to prop up the rich and played against a compassionate, effective and justsociety.

SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 2019 A PORTRAIT IN COURAGE Remember how we used to expect, or at least hope, that our Presidents would do the right thing regardless of the politics? That they would take a principled stand and stick to it? I don't know if I'm in favor of a vaping ban (I think vaping is stupid because of the nicotine but don't know if it should be banned), but I do know that pretending to support a potential solution to a problem and then bailing solely because of politics is craven and cowardly. Of course, Trump only does things to help himself, whether its vaping regulations or gun control, and quickly backs off if he perceives that a position he's taken will hurt him politically. Because he's a selfish coward and a liar.Posted by Ipecac

Stupid-Stupid-StupidLESSER CRIMES?
As we sit here on the evening before the public impeachment hearings start, let me remind you of a couple of Trump's greatest hits. And remember that these are things we AREN'T impeaching him for. > An ongoing joint investigation between The Associated Press and the > PBS series Frontline on the treatment of migrant children under U.S. > watch has found his administration jailed an unprecedented 69,550 > kids in the past year. “That’s more children detained away from > their parents than any other country, according to United Nations> researchers.”
> . . .
> In just one example cited in the investigation, U.S. officials took > a three-year-old Honduran toddler from her dad last March—keep in > mind the administration has supposedly been blocked from separating > families under a June 2018 court order—and put her into a foster > home where another child molested her. “As the days passed, she > began urinating on herself and seemed unable to eat or drink, a > foster parent said in the records,” the investigation said. > For three weeks, the dad didn’t know where his three-year-old was, > kept totally in the dark by officials. When he finally did get to > talk to her on the phone, she was hysterical, and accused him of > abandoning her. “I don’t love you Daddy, you left me alone,” > he said the sobbing child told her. Link>
We should all be horrified and ashamed that this is the United States. If you think this is okay, then you can go fuck yourself. And here's the other, coming a day after Veteran's Day. > A NEW YORK JUDGE HAS RULED THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP MUST PAY $2 MILLION > IN DAMAGES TO SETTLE CLAIMS THAT THE TRUMP FOUNDATION MISUSED FUNDS. > THE MONEY WILL GO TO A GROUP OF CHARITIES, AND THE FOUNDATION IS IN > THE PROCESS OF DISSOLVING. > THE CASE IS TIED TO A TELEVISED FUNDRAISER FOR VETERANS HELD BY > TRUMP IN IOWA WHEN HE WAS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT IN JANUARY 2016. > TRUMP HAD SAID THE FUNDS RAISED WOULD BE DISTRIBUTED TO CHARITIES. > BUT ACCORDING TO COURT DOCUMENTS, THE TRUMP FOUNDATION IMPROPERLY > USED $2.82 MILLION IT RECEIVED FROM THAT FUNDRAISER. > ACCORDING TO THE JUDGMENT, THAT MONEY "WAS USED FOR MR. TRUMP'S > POLITICAL CAMPAIGN AND DISBURSED BY MR. TRUMP'S CAMPAIGN STAFF, > RATHER THAN BY THE FOUNDATION," WHICH IS UNLAWFUL. HOWEVER, JUSTICE > SALIANN SCARPULLA SAYS THE FUNDS DID EVENTUALLY REACH CHARITY > ORGANIZATIONS SUPPORTING VETERANS. Link>
Trump only gave the money to veteran's groups AFTER he received a butt-load of bad publicity for giving charitable funds meant for veterans to his campaign. Yeah, he has a lot more to answer for than just trying to blackmail a foreign country to interfere in our elections on his behalf. That's what a swell guy he is.Posted by Ipecac

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 07, 2019 IT'S ONLY A LIFETIME APPOINTMENT. WHAT'S THE WORST THAT COULD HAPPEN? For decades, the American Bar Association has examined Presidential nominees for judges and issued recommendations to the Senate. Typically, if the ABA ranks someone as "unqualified" they are pulled from contention. In the Trumpublican party, unqualifieds get lifetime appointments to the bench.
> IN THAT VEIN, MCCONNELL STUMPED FOR HIMSELF, TOUTING HAVING GOTTEN > SO MANY TRUMP JUDGES INTO OFFICE. "MY MOTTO IS 'LEAVE NO VACANCY > BEHIND,'" HE BRAGGED. NEVER MIND THAT THE NOMINEES HE'S BEEN PUSHING > THROUGH HAVE LESS THAN STELLAR QUALIFICATIONS. IN FACT, SINCE 1989 > ONLY 21 JUDICIAL NOMINEES HAVE BEEN RATED UNQUALIFIED BY THE > AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION. MORE THAN ONE-QUARTER OF THEM WERE > NOMINATED BY TRUMP IN THE LAST THREE YEARS-EIGHT OF THEM, IN FACT. > JUST PONDER THAT FOR A BIT. PRESIDENT OBAMA DIDN'T NOMINATE A SINGLE > UNQUALIFIED JUDGE, BUT TRUMP HAS HAD EIGHT IN JUST THREE YEARS. IT > TOOK GEORGE W. BUSH TWO TERMS TO PICK THE NINE UNQUALIFIED > CANDIDATES HE RACKED UP. Obama nominated ZERO unqualified judges. Trump nominated 8 so far and between him and George W, they nominated 17 of the 21. Why would they do this? Because those unqualified, partisan "judges" will rule the way Republicans want them to, without regards to the actual law. Republican integrity in action.Posted by Ipecac

Stupid-Stupid-Stupid SATURDAY, OCTOBER 26, 2019SEE THE LIGHT
Let's talk about lightbulbs. Recently, in yet another absolutely pointless, against all common sense, initiative, the Trump Administration, in its mission to be as unbelievably dickish as possible, announced it was rolling back the Bush Administration's lightbulb efficiency standards.
This is probably because reactionary conservatives think giving up their 19th century technology for a livable planet is gay and an assault on their freedom. It's also probably because Trump thinks Obama was responsible. (President Obama did implement and enhance theregulations.)
We are now years away from the early days of "more efficient lightbulbs" represented by compact florescents, those curly-cue bulbs that originally took a couple of seconds to come on and had a weakish yellow light. The current, best available bulb is LED and can be bought everywhere. Manufacturers switched over to LED production years ago, so there isn't even a real market for traditional icandescentsany more.
Every bulb in my house is an LED. Many of them are HUE color-changing bulbs or cheaper Chinese equivalents (found on Amazon) which allow me to change the color of rooms at will, which is a lot of fun. With a wifi connection to my Amazon Echos, I can change the color, or more mundanely, just turn the lights on and off, by voice throughout my house or remotely by using my phone. I imagine most people who read this blog have already switched to LED bulbs. But in case you haven't, let's compare. - The incandescent bulb emits a LOT of heat (you know if you ever tried to change one that just blew out). LED bulbs remain cool to the touch. The loss of bulb heat also means your home is cooler in thesummer.
- Incandescent bulbs are made of glass and often shatter when dropped. LED bulbs are typically made of plastic. I dropped one in my garage this morning and it didn't break. - Incandescent bulbs last at best two years. An LED bulb lasts anywhere from 13-23 years. Imagine not having to change a light bulb for 13 or more years. - LED bulbs are available in every size and configuration. They can even replace long florescent tubes. - Functionally, there are no advantages to incandescent bulbs. LED bulbs can match any light color emitted by incandescent bulbs (soft to cool white) and more. LED also allows for color changing bulbs. LED bulbs come on instantly and most are fully dimmable. They also are made to look like traditional light bulbs, not the curly-cues. - LED bulbs are CHEAPER. Their cost has dropped to less than $2 a bulb and you make up for the difference in electricity costs. In a single year, the cost to operate a 60W bulb is around $11. To run the equivalent LED bulb, the annual cost is $1.83. This means that you save $9 minus the cost of the LED bulb the first year you install it. You then save $9 a year afterwards, and that's not even including the cost of replacing all those incandescents that would burn out. From http://energyusecalculator.com/electricity_incandescent.htm - LED bulbs reduce your electricity bill, and therefore reduce your carbon footprint, and therefore help fight climate change. In short, LEDs are cheaper, safer, cooler, longer-lasting, less polluting, more versatile, and more efficient. Like many people, you may be sitting on a bunch of old replacement bulbs that you haven't used yet. You want to move to LEDs, but you've decided to wait for all your incandescent light bulbs to burn out to replace them. DON'T WAIT. You're wasting money every day you're running those old, inefficient bulbs. Throw the old bulbs in thetrash.
If you've already replaced all your bulbs, then congratulations and welcome to the 21st century. Also, fuck you Trump and your regressive, moron Administration.Posted by Ipecac
