Actual footage of Vince Guaraldi performing "Linus and Lucy". I'm gobsmacked that this exists, but utterly thrilled too. www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EMf...

Mudflats was also my favorite Alaskan political blog way back in the day.

And fans of that blog called themselves Mudpuppies. 😎

The Story of the β€˜Omini’ Logo Kappa has a rich history from its beginnings in 1958 in Turin, Italy, and has always been committed to upholding its Italian heritage. Since then, it has become an iconic name within the sports world,...

Kind of a cool story behind the logo (it's actually a man and a woman) www.kappateamsports.com/blogs/blog/t...

I'm Sorry to Burst Your Bubble: You Are Being Fooled About AI, and You Will Soon Feel Really Stupid The overall inability to distinguish what is real from what is fake is fueling the frisson.

Great article about hype and the AI bubble.

I keep seeing on parkas and Olympic uniforms what seemed to be the naked "mudflat girls" you see on trucks.

Turns out it's the logo for Kappa, an Italian sportswear brand.

(Still seems weird to me though)

If we can develop wearable airbag vests to protect Downhill and Super G skiers from life-threatening crashes, why can't we see the names of child sex traffickers in the Epstein files to prevent children from being raped?

As a rule, I ordinarily don't comment on people's bodies.

But so many female MAGA officials have had so much plastic surgery on their faces... but still have hands of woman in their 80s...

Throwback to Pam Bondi’s campaign ad for Florida AG:

β€œI’ll fight to put human trafficking monsters where they belong. Behind bars.”

The ad aged. The internet remembers.

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

We need to care about children and not exploit them.

We need to call out evil in the strongest possible way.

We need to stop letting evildoers use language to normalize their abuse.

We need to stick up for the victims and bring the perpetrators to justice.

We need to do better.

Now.

Like I said, I was naive.

Maybe powerful men (and a few powerful women who enable them) have always done things as horrible as what Epstein and his cohorts did.

Maybe the rich and powerful have always been able to sweep all this shit under the rug.

But enough is enough. We need to do better.

It doesn't matter what party the perpetrators belong to.

Evil is evil and every perpetrator must be brought to justice.

That goes for every Democrat as well as every Republican and every Libertarian.

This alone is horrifying enough. The girls (and perhaps some boys) were raped. This treatment ruined hundreds of lives.

No decent human being should ever make any excuse for what Epstein, Maxwell, and their enablers have done.

And no decent human being should ever protect any perpetrators.

With the cooperation of the rich and powerful, Epstein seems to have run a sex-trafficking operation for decades, among other crimes.

It's also plausible that foreign government(s) may have bankrolled Epstein to get blackmail material to use against politicians.

It's also become clearer that many of the QAnon/right-wing accusations seem to have been confessions.

Only instead of the monsters all being Democrats, it looks like a lot of the perpetrators were Republicans.

(And some Democrats. And a lot of politicians and billionaires.)

When I first started hearing about all the QAnon chatter about pedo rings, I assumed it was just ridiculous conspiracy theory BS based on nothing.

I was naive.

As details about Epstein and his friends emerge, it became clear that a large group of rich and powerful men behaved like monsters.

Listen folks, Pam Bondi was Attorney General of Florida from 2011 to 2019 so she's been covering up Epstein's crimes for a loooooong-ass time

It was traditional on some networks for Blue to indicate the GOP since Blue was often used to indicate conservative politicians in the UK.

I don't recall specifics, but at least one US network was using Red for Dems in the 1990s.

And reportedly, NBC used Red for Jimmy Carter in 1976.

Thinking back to the 1990s when different networks used different colors to indicate which party took which state in presidential elections.

The seemingly endless 2000 election left us with Blue=Dem and Red=GOP, but that wasn't always true for the 25 years before that.
