And did he ever even get to that part about 'helmet safety' and that the guy in the photo wasn't wearing one?
Oh, no, yet another topic for the echo factory to pretend that people care about and repeat over and over.
this is a lot more fun than wading in through the chan spam.

I love how Mr. Donald played the media like a standup bass. He's like this punk-rock musician and he's got his bow and his giant stand-up electric bass instrument. He just bows off a couple of hard arpeggios of 'here's the worst thing we can do' in answer to 'no one can do anything because I am the wonder-king of the world, hail the commander' bit that our gutless leader did on Sunday night.
And so then, Donald, up there on his stage, he just smiles. " oh, you didn't like that one. How about this?" and he comes up with a perfectly reasonable explanation for the views that the spouted on the previous day, and here is what we could really do, now that we know you don't like hearing that other tune.
When a master plays on the stage he (she ?) knows when it falls flat. And someone who's a master on that stage, whose had great success, he knows how to talk to the crowd. In this case he's playing the media like a master plays an antique stand-up instrument, for the crowd.
It's like some in the media, and in politics, forget who he is. Who is he? He's Donald Trump. It's not Pol Pot. It's not Stalin. It's not Queen Victoria. It's not Hitler. It's not Saddam. It's not Momar. It's Donald. And they should already know him as a person not just from his very many appearances over a period of 30 or more years in American media as a constant running gag of sorts. And when did anyone ever expect him to behave any differently than he is right now? He's a master of communicating and understands that concepts are often bantied, and words are not irreversible. Do those who hate him think he's an absolutist? If he were an absolutist with a take-no-prisoners attitude the New Yorkers would have long ago outted him as such and made him reform. So then, what, maybe he's having some kind of fit or bought with Mental Illness? Is that what the media would have us believe?
And if he were wouldn't all the people around him be able to see it? It's far fetched.
So, ya if some crack pot starts putting in actual programs to ask the rudest of questions: are you a . . . that is when to say 'well maybe that's not such a good thing to ask. When they are can't you tell? But when someone from overseas is expecting passage to America and thinks that it's OK to just enter, we can be afforded the descretion to say 'not today'. And if someone were a student of a known jihadist, then we should not just say, "oh, so his religion is supremicism, and, because of freedom of religion, we have to let him in even though his practice of religion is to limit our ability to practice our religion". So what is the argument? That if we don't let him in to the United States than we are violating his rights to practice his religion? How is that? It's not true. He/she/whatever can practice his/her/whatever religion back where they are from.
Often this comes from people who would be quick to take away other rights, such as the ones guaranteed by the first and second amendments. Many believe that there should not be any laws to establish a religion here, and that gets reinterpreted to mean that basically government must do a hands off on all religion. Some could take it even farhter and argue, with an extension of the interpretation done in the same way as other extensions of interpretation, that because government must not establish religion it must then also prevent supremicist sects, of any belief or religion, from being allowed access to our country if those members don't give up their supremacist ideologies. Such an interpretation might ban a lot of very different kinds of people and it would be based upon the way that our people feel about them. Such a kind of ban, then, is almost impossible. People would just lie about what their beliefs are. And 'our' people might prove to be major bigots.
While we are at war, and with the possibility of dishonorable war mongers continuing as leaders, we should know that some of these sects, from over there, have missions here and do us harm. And some of them seek conquest of our country. Can't we be spared people like that?
Even if there were no Muslims of the supremacist sort, other people would still harbor supremicist ideologies. Such ideologies are not limited to Muslims. So even if all Muslims were not supremicist, the problem would arise from some other sector.
So it's the absolutism and the supremicism that is loathsome. And that is not just in religion, but also in other areas, like in politics. The absolutism and supremicism of various cults of politics are also a sad plauge upon the democracies. We have to endure it. And safe passage, just let it happen. When it makes sense. But when it doesn't make sense, when it's better for them to stay away for a while while we work through our obvious issues, our friends will understand. They will accept that the mad season has not yet passed, that caution is needed. They will be OK with us needing our space. They will not force their nascent understanding of 'religious liberty' as an excuse for ignorance of an obvious invasion.
People have eyes, and they see stuff for themselves. And they have ears and they eaves drop in the aisles at the store and listen to what people say. We see the hard looks, the soft looks, and we kind of have a sense when people are inclusive and loving. But we also understand that very many people have xenophobic hangups. In the meantime, while we are at war, the xenophobic hangups of foreigners from a war zone need to not become our problem here. We have enough of our own xenophobia to deal with already in America, without importing a very virulent kind: Pan-Arab-supremacism and the weaponization of discontented youth.
Ya, so, again, I'll say it: disagree with Trump. Of course. But don't trash him. If they can trash him they can trash anyone and no one is then worth anything. You don't have to vote for him. But you should not have to hate him.

We sure do need a billion dollar idea.
. . . what if they made a giant inflatable mattress/solar cell twice the diameter of the earth and put it in orbit in front of the sun . . .
I am sure that if they did that we would then really need a climate conference. And we'd tell them to move their solar collector somewhere else.
In order to protect the Earth from near earth gamma burst we need a louvered blind system, constructed from asteroids, that will fit around the Earth and the moon. Tell that to the grant hounds and maybe they can work on something real for a change. The problem has already been solved, at least in the world of fiction. And, of course, all of the details of it were covered up and all of the players in those projects will always deny that any of it ever happened. Becuase it didn't.
At the end of the play everyone gets to go home, don't they?

Greetings from tree shaded yard!
Praise The Lord for insight given!
as an example . . . I have tried to do some introspective things as I come into awareness of my own flaws, and recognize the way I act and correct my self and make a better narrative for myself and for others.
you raise me up from far away when a memory of you lifts me!
Somethings never change nothing need stay the same ah, but on a website the constant change is kind-of the point . . .
change without continuity and tradition is often very hard to manage for those thrust into it. And thus the frame of things gives a place for the change to happen. If you violate that idea then you are coming up with something completely different and maybe no one will want to see your new idea, or use your great, new venue, because it's too far out, and very far away from what they currently care about. It's a nether or a meta and it's merely for a lark? Or does it become the next big thing? As fun as graphics are (CGI) and animation, and making a world to fly around in (like minetest, which is easy when you learn how) ultimately such a meta is a hollow place. It's a distraction during the season of gaming. It allows one to brush up on geometry and math, and architectural design, it gives people training in computer languages, it allows someone to make some graphical ideas, and pass a few hours of time every few days or so . . .
To live within such a realm really isn't possible.

previousPoem Shards just who reads, who writes these poems? off a mountain road the poet roams but only in a poem. Realizing that the empty is empty and not needing anything there. just who shows up and for what?

After 40 different versions what can one say about it anymore? It's installed in all my systems, a day earlier. There are a few minor issues, but no show stoppers.
I did some stuff with lvm to resize a root area. That took a very long time. It's on a machine that maybe just should be retired . . .

Ya, I decided to load Fedora Core 38 Beta about a month ago, and this machine kept shutting down . . . I think I finally fixed it. Tomorrow is the big release day for the Fedora Core 38. My production workstation is still running FC37. I don't know if I'll jump right on it right away. . .
my server is still resetting, or maybe I have it fixed. I decided to just remove plasma-desktop, as I don't use it. The journals were giving all kinds of errors with that, and I think that might have been the issue, conflicting with the gdm that I do use. Worst case I'd just go to runlevel 3 but, as I said in another column, I don't really even know if anyone views these pages anyway.
My production box would upgrade but the dnf says it would downgrade grum and associated tools, and that's never a good thing to do. I'm just not going to do it! anyway I'll check tomorrow when the offical release is and probably do it then. If I'm in the mood.
So now I've run every version of Fedora serving this website! that's a long time.
April 17, 2023 8:28 PM ESThere is from a year ago:
It took some time to figure out how to defeat the new screensaver built in, but I was able to. It's the biggest downside to the new Gnome.
I set the keybindings to something I don't use, and then put in a custom keybinding to use the old tool.
There are other minor things that annoy too, like the restoration of a deleted file that I always have to delete again on every FC core upgrade. The file is name camera-shutte.oga. It's in /usr/share/sounds/freedesktop/stereo

At the precipice of coding.
a mountain trail often has a place with a great view and a perilous fall if you wonder just a bit too far to one side of the trail. It's called a precipice. It's not a scary place. It's a safe place that one passes through.
OK, so I've done an update to FC34.
the biggest issue was . . . . drum roll . . .a lock up of gnome.
and if i clicked on the activities button I would need to reload (log out log back in).
I was able to run stuff without that, and thus determined a list of files that might need to be removed. I did as full reinstall of gnome as such:
dnf reinstall gnome
then I did a
dnf list installed |grep fc33
which gave me a list of files to consider uninstalling.
from that I got the following:
first odd issue:
sudo was not at first working! I had to install it! I kept the configuration file so I have my preferences still set up.
dnf install sudo dnf reinstall gnome-* dnf reinstall kde* dnf reinstall NetworkManager* dnf remove gnome-screensaver dnf remove gnome-shell-extension-desktop-icons-20.04.0-2.fc33.noarch dnf remove xorg-x11-xkb-extras-7.7-33.fc33.x86_64 dnf remove compat-openssl10-1:1.0.2o-11.fc33.x86_64 dnf remove mozjs60-60.9.0-7.fc33.x86_64
there are still some fc33 packages, (I also looked for fc32 packages, anything older that was gnome)
sudo dnf list installed |grep fc33 biber.noarch 2.14-4.fc33 @fedora gamin.x86_64 0.1.10-37.fc33 @fedora libgta.x86_64 1.0.9-5.fc33 @fedora
if removing a package also removed large numbers of other packages, I left it. For each of the few that I did remove, I always would make sure by reading what would happen before agreeing to the transaction.
now the gnome-shell is working and it doesn't lock up. So which of the packages that I removed made the difference? I am not sure.
and so after just a few short hours of install, I've got my system working in away that seems normal.
the new gnome shell moves the icons to the bottom of the screen.
I find gnome-shell to be annoyingly poppy at times. I tend to do things rapidly, and all the popping can be nauseating.
It is helpful to learn how to use dnf. I've found that the reverse history stuff works as long as you haven't made too many changes. It's a dicey, though, to try and go back to an older revision but I did it ONCE. Next time it didn't work out so well. AT that point it was installing dnf and yum from rpms.
and I had success. It's the kind of thing that when you know how to do it . . .
but there was one other trick that I needed and it was a scary way to reset a password and I did discover how to do it. I'm not sharing that one (barely remember) it's like these things exist in a nether, and it's best to . . . let the knowledge fade unless you need it. It's too scary to dwell in that space.
anyway, gnome shell is working. It's not flighty and hanging up. And all it took was to remove the old packages of gnome that might conflict with it. And now I can continue with my review.
