post:
 There was an armed robbery in front of a home in my town last night that was captured on a Ring camera. A couple was walking from their driveway to their front door, and a car pulled up and three guys jumped out with guns, asked for their phones, the woman's purse, etc.

I live in the suburbs north of Chicago, which are generally relatively safe and don't experience anywhere near the level of crime that plagues the city of Chicago. Something like this is incredibly rare, but more and more, criminals, bangers, and now many immigrants living in Chicago are spreading out to hit the surrounding suburbs.

I took a look at the convos about it on Facebook. Naturally, the story is being shared hard by local Republican groups who want to blame Illinois, a Democrat run state (where we do indeed have concealed carry), want to blame Dem voters. Their posts and comments are full of the same tropey pro-gun, "this wouldn't happen at my home!" "Blue states aren't safe!" stuff, along with "they should have been concealed carry people!" despite the fact that even with concealed carry laws, not everyone wants to or needs to become a gun owner.

The level of myopia amongst these pro-gun people is really astounding but not surprising. They blame blue states for their laws and leadership when they see a crime happen there, yet willfully disregard the very real fact that in every single red state across the country, every single day, crime occurs, people get robbed, people get killed.

Like, do people even stop and think about that as they so singularly blame blue state crime on blue state policies? What do they blame red state crime on when red state policies exist in those states?

It makes my brain hurt.

There is indeed an ever-present crime problem in Chicago, and it does at times spill out into the suburbs. Gang problems in the city, and the influx of immigrants who are committing crimes, is growing (note: not ALL immigrants. There's been a steady increase in arrests of immigrants who committed crimes here). But the way those conditions get blamed in the context of a blue state, as if to say those are the only places that crime exists, is so outrageously ridiculous.

comment: They took their phones, a purse, and stole their Jagaur SUV, which was found hours later abandoned.

comment: I don't think there's a crime anywhere in or around Chicago that's committed without stolen cars anymore.

For X: it's like 60/40% right/left
For Bsky: it's like 5%/95% right/left

Observations from usage over a few months.

Also: a funny situation lately that on X a lot of people ask Grok or Perplexity bots for clarifications on a lot of right people posts and there are a lot more community checking, while on Bsky it's basically non-stop dunking on Trump regime, Reps and righters.

Bsky also just introduced blue check marks, but they basically mean nothing for now. A lot less bots to none on Bsky, while on X the bots problem is getting out of hand.

 No skin cancer!

The thing beside my nose that clearly looks like basal cell carcinoma showed no cancer after the biopsy and is just a benign mole. What a relief, especially after the week I've had last week.

Ended up in the ER last Thursday afternoon with the most horrible stomach pain you can imagine. Might have been food poisoning, dehydration, and stomach irritation from spicy wings I had after a 24 hour water fast.

I couldn't even lay in any position to get comfortable. Could not stand up straight or fully exhale. Three up three times at home, couldn't even keep down Pepto Bismol. An Immediate Care doctor had one look at me and said "you don't look good," wondered if I had an obstruction in my stomach or intestines. Sent me to the ER quickly, had to wait a couple hours, couldn't sit still, could barely walk, and right as I was throwing up in the lobby, my wife arrived back after taking our kids to a neighbor's house, and right as a nurse came with a wheelchair to get me to a room because I couldn't even stand up.

Pretty much had a full blown panic attack on the way to the room, balling my eyes out the pain was so intense.

Hooked me up to an IV, drew blood for tests, gave me fluids and nausea meds, and morphine, which did nothing. Absolutely nothing. Then gave me Dilodid (like 6-8x stronger than Morphine if you're not familiar with it) and within 15 minutes it was like all the pain faded away, I got drowsy and fell asleep.

Had a CT scan and x rays, and NOTHING. No obstruction, no organ issues, no heart issues. Stayed for about four more hours, pain meds wore off and pain came back somewhat, decided against staying the night, went home at 12:30am, my wife picked up my. prescriptions at 2:30am, took them by 3am, and a melatonin, felt better, fell asleep, woke up at 9:30 Friday, still really worn out but the pain was completely gone.

Craziest pain I have ever experienced. If they had found something that required surgery, I would have been like "DO IT. DO IT RIGHT NOW. WHATEVER IT TAKES"

comment: Great nose news! Second issue sounds like gall bladder stones. My partner and some of her family had them for years. Worst pain they ever had.

comment: Fist two took yrs to diagnose. 3rd one told the doctors and it was diagnosed straight away. Then my dad had same symptoms that would appear from nowhere.

comment: we told him to ask for gall bladder check. That was it. Simple op - fixed. Can be set off by fatty / spicy food.

comment: Well, that was quite an adventure.

 Tesla profits drop 71% on weak sales and anti-Elon Musk sentiment.

Tesla’s flailing sales figures have put the company closer to the red than it has been in years, according to financial results released Tuesday, threatening one of its biggest advantages over other EV players.

The electric automaker reported $409 million in net income on $19.3 billion in revenue after delivering almost 337,000 EVs in the first quarter of the year. The company’s net income reflects a 71% drop from the same quarter last year.

topic_title: recent vinyl finds

post:
 Bits n bobs that I have picked up in the last few weeks.

I got this for the Pink Floyd cover version (a collecting side hobby if ever there was one) but turns out to be not that different from the original (!?) I was hoping all the tracks would be sung by kids, especially Going Underground but it's more like an old TOTP album of dodgy cover versions. The only copies I could find online were on brown vinyl (appropriate for such a shit album) but for some reason this one is on white vinyl.

I was best pleased with this great pair of compilations of weird garage and freak out 60's singles linked with samples from trash movies & TV, one was a test pressing too.

I got this for the stupid sleeve.

I got this for the sampling possibilities.

Album & single charity shop finds.

First UK pressing from 1970 with no EMI logo on the label.

geddit?!

A classical 8 piece group recorded in Ambisonic UHJ surround-sound, sounds like Radio 4 closedown music.

A one sided promo of electronica & spoken word some copies came with a book, this one doesn't.

An excellent, lost funk & soul gem released on Holyground in 1972. This is John as in John Paul Joans eccentric Led-Zep-member-name-nicking Northern comedian, who made the Top 30 with The Man From Nazareth.

A Beatles cover version which went to #1 in Australia by Elvis Costello's dad, yes really!

In 1979 John Lydon dismissed the writer/performers of this song (aka Hudson/Ford, The Monks, Strawbs etc) on the TV show Juke Box Jury and they tried to get their own back with this lame tune first issued that year. For some weird reason they changed their name 9 years later and reissued it with a B side featuring a faithful cover of John Otway's Oh My Body (Is Making Me), it was still crap.

Lovely 4 track E.P.

topic_title: Stand-up Comedy

post: I'm looking forward to this


post:
 I don't pay a lot of attention to modern stand up comics, but a random assortment of YT videos recently led me to see that - and correct me if I'm wrong - there's a growing trend of these total bro comics growing in popularity? And they've all got podcasts and they're even kind of having beefs amongst themselves and spend more time critiquing others' routines and jokes than doing their own work? And the comedy is evolving to a bit more of an observational insult / put down than anything else?

I don't even know if that makes sense, but from some comments and videos I feel like the comedy scene is massively different from what it was even 10-20 years ago, where it seemed like everyone supported each other.

Thoughts?

comment: I see the reading here not as album that is perfect for you but perfect within itself.

comment: not as *an album

html_comment: not as *an album

comment: Which doesn't mean that all the pieces in the album has to perfect themselves but essential to the album being what it is.

comment: But if an album is perfect for you it's your perfect album. It's just different readings.

comment: Indeed. Therefore Krassy's point of some being far from perfect is purely subjective in that sense.

comment: That is to say, that I don't consider my favorite albums to be perfect ones.

comment: It's like asking "What's your idea of ȧ perfect date?" and people answering "March 25th".

comment: Saying that March 25th is perfect or far from perfect are both subjective readings of the date.

 Its a pretty insane time for high quality indie games, so here are four different ones you may or may not have heard off.

Blue Prince - A Myst rogue-lite puzzle game.
Each time you open a door you get three room options to put down. Your immediate aim is to get to the 46 room of the 45 room mansion... prepare for many other things to spiral out before you get there.

Obscenely clever game, though you may not see it for the first 4-5 hours.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 - Turn based RPG.
First released game from French developer Sandfall. Each year everyone above a certain age are instantly wiped off the face of the earth, this year its anyone age 33. So you set off on a expidition, like many before you, to try and stop this from happening.

Is currently the videogame that have gotten the highest review score this whole year.

Bionic Bay - 2d platformer
A pixel 2d platformer where you can manipulate time, gravity, and switch place with objects. Think the trailer does a better job at explaining it than I can.

Skin Deep - Immersive sim where you rescue cats on spaceships
Its a weird premise, but seems to have a lot of humor in it and some cool gameplay. Blast out windows to send enemies tumbling into outer space, crawl though air ducts and come up with inventive solutions.

Out next week.

 Valerie the dachshund is found safe and well after 529 days on the run on South Australian island

Valerie the miniature dachshund, who went missing on Kangaroo Island way back in 2023, has been rescued by conservationists.

Georgia Gardner and her partner, Josh Fishlock, from Albury in New South Wales, were holidaying on the island in November 2023 when Valerie escaped from her pen at their campsite at Stokes Bay before running into the scrub.

Despite some initial sightings and extensive search efforts, Valerie was not seen again until recently.

“She never left my side. She was not a very outside, rough-and-tough dog. To think that she even went one night outside in the rain, oh my gosh. To think that she’s gone a year and a half is incredible.”

 Someone I know went to college for six weeks in 1998, quit, and never went back.

They eventually found there way into starting a small business that has nothing to do with what they studied, and in which they've been really successful and made a name for themselves from.

They still refer to that six weeks of college by saying "when I was in college..." "bet you didn't know I went to school to study [field]...." And they still list that school in the present tense on FB, aka "Studies [field] at [school] - 1998.

Why? Who cares? They seem to love that people will assume they either went for most of what you'd expect them to have gone for and just didn't finish, or that they graduated. They've been so successful that their business is well known and and they have every reason to be proud of, so why this apparent need to talk about the college they barely even went to?

topic_title: Show your latest Pics

post:
I saw a post on FB mentioning Frank Sanazi was playing a free show at some old blokes birthday party in a rough pub in an even rougher part of Dundee tonight. So I went along with my wife for an evening of alternative entertainment and we were not disappointed. There were about 50 folk there and most if not all were there for the birthday party, so we probably stood out a bit especially as there were no seats left and we spent the whole show leaning on the bar. It was cheap drink and free food and 2 half hour sets of Frank doing his cheeky mix of jokes and crooning.
In the break we sat in the other (quieter) bar and Frank wandered in and beelined to us, as we probably looked the least drunk folk in there. We chatted to him for 20 minutes about his comedy show experiences from Glastonbury to his forthcoming show supporting a re-formed Fine Young Cannibals at the London Palladium later this year. He was a lovely, funny chap although very pissed off that the birthday guy who hired him insisted that the Hitler image he performed in front of stayed where it was. It wasn't quite right but was so typically Dundee on a Friday night it kinda worked and the crowd were in stitches the whole show through, so a splendid time was had by us all and I managed to take a couple of pics.

comment: It was not the image Frank wanted behind him, he complained but the guy who's party it was happened to be dressed in Stormtrooper gear...

comment: so it was all a bit odd really, don't think Frank wanted to rock the boat, making sure he got paid. It was NOT a Nazi Party, although that joke was made.

comment: Halfway through the big fella in the top pic threw up over himself, staggered out of the room and I never saw him for the rest of the evening.

topic_title: UFO of the day

post:
 Recently had a spare camera converted to Full Spectrum+IR. Best decision I've made. While photographing UAP with a stock camera tuned to visible light is possible, soon after I converted the camera,
imaging these objects became super consistent. Like a night and day difference.

There seems to be so many different objects hidden in the IR spectrum. Below are only a couple examples of objects I have photographed. I am shooting stills in continuous mode @ 5 fps. This enables me to get the highest possible quality out of the image rather than shooting 4k video. But I also have really interesting 4K Infrared video.

You guys are going to trip out when you see the other images I've been taking with this camera. Can't wait to share the rest.

I've started to notice these streaks in many images. I originally thought they were meteors flying through the atmosphere, but they were happening a little too often and funny enough, capturing a meteor under these circumstances is more rare than a UAP. I got lucky with this one as I captured enough frames to create an animated sequence. Details in the .gif

This one below was my first attempt at creating an animated sequence. This is a typical capture of the objects the UAP researcher and I have been studying. I do believe I have captured a clearer image of these objects. They are roughly the size of a basketball, maybe a little larger.

 I've had a ridiculous day booting today, up early I hit a new boot in Arbroath next to the football ground at 7.15am, late I know TELL ME ABOUT IT. So I left home picked up a black McD coffee en-route and sauntered into the field to have a wander. The fruit & veg man was there, always a good sign, and I got about 3/4 the way along a row and there's a bloke kneeling down in the familiar digging pose. I stood behind him to see what he was looking at as he flipped by original Mothers of Invention, Kevin Ayres, John Martyn albums, picking out the Genesis, Tull, Hendrix and Floyd, all originals in super clean nick (as far as I could tell by the sleeves). He got up asked how much they were, the woman said her husband, who was standing next to her, wanted a pound each, but I'll let you have them for 50p each (!!) Jeez, god knows what he got tbh as I got down and pulled 25 in under 25 seconds including pink Island John Martyn, Andwella, unboxed Harvest albums by Kevin Ayres, BJH and others. But best of all the Omega Red Star album, I never even checked condition of any of them but when I got back to the car most look hardly played, just incredible for a collection like this to come out so cheap. I paid £15 for the lot as I was hardly going to give her £12.50 and she even gave me a canvas bag to put them in, crackers.

So happy as a clam but with a tinge of what I must have missed by minutes, curse you McD and your reasonably priced coffee! I headed home for breakfast and after porridge (I have a very Scottish wife) I headed out to the lunchtime boot that kicks off on a village green about 20 miles from me at 1pm. Arriving early so I could wander about and see what was out as they do like to tell the sellers here that there is NO SELLING BEFORE 1pm. So strict, but for me it means I can see where the records are and hit those stalls first. One bloke had an incredible amount of 70's African & Indian albums and singles, I spent £60 with him, another lady had obscure labelled 7" from the 80's at 50p each so I basically spend all the money I had on me except for a fiver. As I was leaving a woman came up to me asking if I was still looking for records to which I replied erm, yes, "well go to the charity shop on the village high street it's open today and they have loads of records." So I did and they did indeed have more bleeding records albeit weird folk stuff, I spent £6 as I found a pound in the car and I came home and played many of them, cleaned some and watched my team win 5:1 and The Championship. So it has been a tiring but rewarding day but unfortunately this doesn't happen every weekend.

post: Another recent animated sequence. This one has an interesting horseshoe shape. Like I mentioned previously, there seems to be many different types of UAP in the sky at any given time. I can photograph numerous airliners coming in for landing and get a mix of different UAP. Helicopters get buzzed by these things too, but airliners can get buzzed/tagged multiple times at once.


topic_title: Russia-Ukraine Invasion

post:
 I've never understood Ukraine's claim on Crimea, other than they somehow inherited it when the Soviet Union collapsed.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hi…

It was held by greeks for thousands of years, then mongols, tartars, ottomans cossacks and finally Russians.

A survey in May 2013, asked respondents what language they spoke at home:

82% Russian
10% Crimean Tatar
3% Russian and Ukrainian equally
3% Russian and another language equally
2% Ukrainian

Giving up Crimea is a non-starter for Zelensky when it comes to the peace deal so I'm obviously missing something...unless it's to prevent Russian claims on other former lands? Both in Ukraine and former soviet republics?

[User] Beeswax

comment: like you said everyone loved to fight over that piece of real estate for thousands of years. no need for legitimacy.

[User] Continuity

comment: One could compare it to Kosovo, it's a very similar situation. And Serbia's claim is equally dubious.

comment: But the problem Zelenskyy is facing isn't just Crimea, but three legitimately-Ukraini... provinces in the east of the country. If he gives up Crimea, it might

comment: ... weaken his hand for the three _actually_ Ukrainian territories.

comment: And also: any concession on territory feeds the perception Russia is being rewarded for its aggression, and it's not going to make the Baltics, Poland, or some

comment: ... Balkan countries in the potential future line of fire very happy.

comment: Further: it gives Russia 100% acess to the Med if the get Crimea. Ask especially Greece, Cyprus, and Malta how they feel about that possibility.

comment: Yeah continuity, that seems like the most plausible explanation. Ideally Russia takes crimea and withdraws from the three other provinces... but good luck :(

comment: This is unfortunately so, at least until someone in the US has a sudden, real revelation about Putin's trustworthiness.

Lawmakers in New York state are moving to shut down Elon Musk’s Tesla dealerships in yet another blow to the billionaire CEO.

New York State Sen. Patricia Fahy and other lawmakers are fighting to remove a waiver that allows Tesla to operate five in-person dealerships in New York, instead forcing the company to sell their vehicles through dealer franchises, The New York Times reported Sunday.

The Rhinoceros Party,
officially the Parti Rhinocéros Party,[2] is a Canadian federal political party. It originally existed from 1963 to 1993. It was refounded in Montreal on May 21, 2006, and was registered with Elections Canada on August 23, 2007

The Rhinoceros Party's basic credo, their so-called primal promise, was "a promise to keep none of our promises"

Serious parties currently underperforming the Rhinos:
Libertarian
United
Marxist-Leninist
Canadian Future
Centrist
Communist

comment: I'll create a post with a small tutorial with my approach on how to photograph these objects. If you are familiar with a camera, the better. But you can...

comment: For really dim objects I think full range is the way forward. I'm excited to see what I can get on my 10" Dob.
