The Tea Table By Sara Lippincott (www.edge.org)

SARA LIPPINCOTT (1938-2023) was an editor specializing in nonfiction who edited some eighty books about science for the general public including bestsellers such as Bill Bradley’s Time Present, Time Past, Timothy Ferris’s The Whole Shebang, Lee Smolin’s The Trouble with Physics, and John McPhee’s Pulitzer prize-winning...

Jim Benton is a gift to us.

Easy there, Sisyphus. Leave some boulder for the rest of us.

Suspect in Maine shooting rampage is dead from apparent self-inflicted gunshot, authorities say (www.cnn.com)

Card’s body was found in an area near a recycling center from which he had recently been fired, a law enforcement source told CNN. Earlier this week, authorities had found Card’s vehicle abandoned after the shooting near a boat launch in the Lisbon area....

MonsiuerPatEBrown,

If anyone that might have read John Tipton’s translation of Sophocles’ then that person knew that the shooter had killed themself.

MonsiuerPatEBrown,

I think that at least one should be saved for just paintball.

MonsiuerPatEBrown,

It is just called humor, here. And would you have preferred laser tag ?

MonsiuerPatEBrown,

you can make one called PumpkinDrama

This is exactly what one should expect from these circumstances.

The entire point of the “militia” was the US to have no standing army as the founding fathers thought that standing armies made tyrants of any leader.

Now instead we have the biggest standing military on the planet, a national/state/local paramilitary groups called “the police” jailing the largest percentage or number of humans anywhere on the planet, and an crazy armed populace of want to be heroes.

Bless their hearts!

We are living in a constant Mexican Standoff from these three groups; and fuck all i am so sick of it.

His name was Dexter Wade.

The gun that unmade America was built to address a secret, long-suppressed problem: The American fighting man just wasn’t that good at fighting. And if the AR-15 is so feared these days, it’s because it’s brought that sub-competence to the civilian world, where now literally any idiot can use it to unleash mayhem and death.

MonsiuerPatEBrown,

that is a great marketing angle.

MonsiuerPatEBrown,

so they are going to just leave Dehance! on the table like that ?

Also he didn’t get to leave with the box he choose. He was forced to trade boxes with a rude person or he was really rude to someone else that lives next door that he would then go ask for the directions after calling the other person dumb earlier

yellow laser beams

Met her at the Star Wars convention.
Did I mention she was looking for love?
Had to call her bluff, “Lady, you don’t mean how that sounded.
The thousand-pound dude in the ‘no fat chicks’ shirt’s astounded.”
Thought she’d take it back, revoke, rescind, rewind, retract.
“You heard me,” she said, “I want any man here
to descend in the cave where you conquer the fear,
and I’ll steer you to side of the force that you choose.
Somebody’s man enough here — now who?”
This girl, now you have to understand,
would not look out of place on the arm of an attractive man,
so the geeks in attendance got jaws on the floor. One extends his
saber but he tripped on his cloak. I stepped to the front then I spoke:
“I ain’t spitting game, look, I got a Wookiee hat on.
But these guys here are used to getting spat on
by girls. See, you put em in shock.
And this ain’t the right con to quote Mister Spock
but it’s highly illogical to me.”
Girl looked in my eye, said, “is your mind free?

‘Cause I got something for you. It is shiny, it is clean.
Come on up and I’ll adore you with my yellow laser beam.”

Sitting in her room upstairs,
watching her wind up the buns in her hair,
I declare that “I’d like to be Luke
unless that’s a little bit too perverted for you.
I could be Jabba, a Jawa, an Ewok
when we talk, ‘oo ga la gee bla!’
Wait — I seen all the flicks, all the books that I read,
don’t remember any character tied to the bed.
But that’s all right, I’ll just pretend that I’m encased in carbonite.
And why that’s a nice gold bikini; you make that?
Shows off what you got, no mistake: that’s
one fine view of Chewbacca you’re giving me.
Lower that down here, we could be living the
linguistic lifestyle of the protocol droid.”
Here comes the part where I’m not overjoyed.
“Fire!” she said, and before I could scream,
got a steaming mouth full of yellow laser beam.

MonsiuerPatEBrown,

I hope that they do insulin next.

The radio is on all the time at my house.

Locally we have 24/7 classical, 24/7 Jazz/Blues, 24/7 bizarre college, 24/7 FUCKYEAHROCK, 24/7 FUCKYEAHOLDERROCK, 24/7 Talk radio, 24/7 HipHop/R&B both old and new school, shortwave, and whats your 20.

And I don’t need internet for any of that. that said I do use mp3 (hallelujah and Amen break for that) and youtube for finding this and that.

But all of those stations have shows that I tune in for specific content.

Bach’s lunch

commercial free fridays

Breakfast with the Beatles

A weekly show about movie soundtracks

A weekly show about young jazz and classical musicians

A bollywood show

and all i have to do is mute or change station to escape commercials or pledge drives.

cost to my bandwidth: zero

radio is where it is at still to this day.

MonsiuerPatEBrown,

I believe that. It is a lucky situation.

That said, streaming radio sucks everywhere.

MonsiuerPatEBrown,

santa shows that rich kids are gooder and nicer than less rich “kids”

MonsiuerPatEBrown,

I don’t think so.

I have found that reading challenging texts out loud has helped my writing, reading, listening, and speaking.

People mock me for it. But it develops an active vocabulary faster than anything that I have stumbled upon for myself.

MonsiuerPatEBrown,

dude doesn’t know about the moving invisible X close buttons on the second set of popover popunder pop pop! invisible ads. What a n00b.

MonsiuerPatEBrown,

This is one of those things that makes me proud of the FBI.

I know that labor rights are hard slanted toward capital in the United States for things like the most common theft in the US: wage theft isn’t even a crime. It must be resolved in civil not criminal court.

So the fallout will be a good way to judge how effective the US and the FBI are at dismantling that oppressive plantation.

MonsiuerPatEBrown,

nice try, machine elves.

    MonsiuerPatEBrown,

    this argument again ?

    if you make the grid more reliable or give domiciles batteries then there is no problem with electric cooking these days.

    but if you live where there are lots of tall trees and people like the tall trees and the tall trees are nice and keep up the quality of life but the tall trees come done all year round in storms and you lose power for upto 24 to 48 hours at a time repeatedly over and over again year in, year out, then forget your electric stove unless I have a battery to run it.

    so we can upgrade our domiciles when they upgrade the grid.

    Sound fair ?

    MonsiuerPatEBrown,

    Rome didn’t start putting up walls like Hadrian’s until the end of the empire. The Rome of Pax Romana had no limits.

    FYI

    MonsiuerPatEBrown,

    gosh i used to pour over every DND book I could find.

    I remember the first time I saw Deities & Demigods. I could not put any of it down. I loved the black and white ink drawings of the books of the generation of DnD I call mine.

    MonsiuerPatEBrown,

    There is no fiber to the curb, and DSL rolled out in the US starting in the late 1990s.

    Since then we have cable internet added to the mix.

    US broadband speeds are like the US minimum wage.

    Slavoj Žižek’s Freudian-Hegelian interpretation of Mary Shelley’s story is worth investigating especially in relation to Shelley’s family, the French Revolution, and transgressive sexual politics.

    They say it all started out with a big bang. But, what I wonder is, was it a big bang or did it just seem big because there wasn’t anything else drown it out at the time? –Karl Pilkington

    why does everything have to become about gender ?

    Not without destroying Citizen United legal premise first which I am also in favor of doing.

    Right now spending money == free speech

    Then giving loans is free speech, too. That is the the tackle.

    I stood up for Newsom for his CalRX. He would have kept my respect for allowing cannabis Cheers to be a thing. We need a third place back.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third_place

    MonsiuerPatEBrown,

    Newsom created CalRX which is a California state based insulin producer that sells 10/mL for $30 to people with or without insurance to anyone in the entire country.

    npr.org/…/california-contract-cheap-insulin-calrx

    The state-label insulins will cost no more than $30 per 10 milliliter vial, and no more than $55 for a box of five pre-filled pen cartridges — for both insured and uninsured patients. The medicines will be available nationwide, the governor’s office said.

    Pick your battles.

    “pretends to be poor” == “not into conspicuous consumption”

    MonsiuerPatEBrown,

    I didn’t believe in astrology until!

    I read that as we leave the age of Piscean Age of hookey bullshit and then enter the age of aquarius hookey woowoo bullishit that humans are leaving a time of Christ and entering a time of

    Proponents of medieval astrology suggest that the Pisces world where religion is the opiate of the masses will be replaced in the Aquarian Age by a world ruled by secretive, power-hungry elites seeking absolute power over others; that knowledge in the Aquarian Age will only be valued for its ability to win wars; that knowledge and science will be abused, not industry and trade; and that the Aquarian Age will be a Dark Age in which religion is considered offensive.

    … and that for a moment made me go … huh.

    MonsiuerPatEBrown,

    Or that is the teeny tiniest wee little shark evar

    MonsiuerPatEBrown,

    yes i can believe that at some point in the future we might look at burning rocket fuel to take water and dump it on Mars as not having been a good use of earth’s resources.

    MonsiuerPatEBrown, (edited )

    The way is to do something with that is wear something visibly your brand but not provably you. So then you can copyright strike them, trade mark attack!, and re upload and monetize.

    stay with the game or get played

    MonsiuerPatEBrown,

    I would like it if web comics started to engage in drawing backgrounds.

    MonsiuerPatEBrown, (edited )

    They don’t gotta do nothing. They choose to do that work and release it into the public. People that do that should be prepared for the thoughts and opinions of others without wilting.

    Its just a web comic, dude.

    And I would not have asked it of someone that I didn’t think clearly capable of it. I just think that background adds lush and life and places for more gags.

    MonsiuerPatEBrown,

    If you can save up for a deposit for a house then you can always put that into the stock market so that you can lose it there right before a housing crash comes.

    There is no reason to be set up to fail in just one way. You have to fail/hussle … fussle if you will.

    MonsiuerPatEBrown,

    I really like poetry. It is the un-nail-down-able nature of poetry that I seek and shiver.

    MonsiuerPatEBrown,

    Social security is a socialist policy.

    As is Medicaid and Medicare.

    As is SNAP and EBT.

    I live in a country with socialist policies already.
