Here! Diagonal-ONT! Pretty Sneaky Sis.Guys! Guys! I finally found it!
Today In History
Toward the end of the year 1093, a secret plot between the Almoravids and the Moors of Valencia, which had only recently become tributary to the Cid, resulted in the overthrow of its king, Yahya al-Qadir, who had “increased their [Valencians] hatred by being a friend to the Christians” — that is, by being a vassal to the Cid. During the uprising, fanatical Muslims discovered al-Qadir trying to abscond out of Valencia dressed in and concealed by a woman’s burqa. To cries of “Allahu akbar,” the mob slaughtered him as an apostate and hurled his body into a camel dung pit. What happened next? Read on to find out, but this is one of those pivotal moments in Western history where the Muslims were turned back from overthrowing Christendom, such as the Battle of Tours and the Siege of Vienna.
Lots of room for debate here, which brings us to tonight's question:
Ted Kaczynski died this week. I've been kind of surprised by the number of people I've seen lionizing him. I think this explains the phenomenon. Ted Kaczynski’s Murderous Legacy Doesn’t Mean His Diagnosis Of The Post-Industrial West Is Wrong
In Industrial Society and Its Future, published by The Washington Post, Kaczynski argued that industrial-technological society, which he referred to as “the system,” was inherently destructive and posed a threat to human freedom and well-being. He believed that modern technology had led to the erosion of personal autonomy, the loss of authentic human experiences, and the degradation of the natural environment. Hence the manifesto’s infamous opening line: “The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.” In this I'm reminded of Joseph McCarthy. He may have been a nasty little man, and you can question some of his methods...but damned if he wasn't right about the commies.
Click through and read the thread. It's worth it.
But while the smoke clears, a more insidious development is taking place. The largely unknown Uniform Law Commission (ULC) has proposed a law that would drastically increase executive power in the United States and reduce citizens’ legal right to resist unconstitutional edicts.
I'm posting a link to this article because I can't find the clip. I saw it last week, but the article quotes most of it. First of all, being a man is hard and often lonely. Stop the presses, film at 11. I actually feel sorry for James, s/he is obviously hurt, but although s/he has “been a man” for 8 years, s/he obviously still tries to connect to other people as a woman would. Men and women are different, and growing up is when we learn how the dynamic between ourselves and others of the same sex works. James is way behind the curve. I'm horrified at some of the normal ways that I see women treating each other, and I know my wife sees some of the man things that I do as baffling. James may have transitioned, but s/he still sees the world as a woman would. My friend Demp has some suggestions for James if s/he wants to connect with men on a man's level. 1: Dig a hole 2: Light something on fire What suggestions would you make? I'll start. Pull your lawnmower out of the garage into the driveway, along with a tool box. Take the cover off of the motor, and stare at it. Within half an hour you'll have a half dozen guys staring and poking with you. These suggestions should be self deprecating and in fun. It's not manly to kick someone when they are down, as James obviously is.
