Objectively the wrong choice. Solar and clock noon should at least match *somewhere* in your stinking timezone. That happens with Standard Time: blog.poormansmath.net/images/Solar... Spring Forward makes all the offsets on this map worse. Perma Standard Time makes sense. That's why it's Standard!

Five minutes apart on my timeline. Behold the spectrum of professional contributors to Star Trek reacting to a Magic: the Gathering tie-in. @diane.dianeduane.com @longtalljodie.com (You're both awesome, I just found the contrast hilarious. Of course I will delete this post if either of you ask.)

Two combined screenshots of Bluesky posts replying to an announcement, from Wizards of the Coast, of a Magic: the Gathering tie-in expansion themed on Star Trek. Both replies are from people who have contributed significant artistic talent to the Star Trek franchise. Diane Duane, author of numerous Star Trek novels among a wider bibliography, replies "(blinking) WHAT?!" with a dubious-face emoji. Jodie Troutman, comic artist who letters Star Trek comic books among others, replies "GIVE IT TO ME."

Had this thought and needed to evict it from my head. Enjoy.

The Gus Fring meme (a picture of Giancarlo Esposito as the named character from Breaking Bad, wearing a suit and adjusting his tie as he frowns at the viewer). There are three segments of text on the image. At the top is the word "meme." In the middle is the phrase "text description of a meme," which is what this alt text is. At the bottom, replacing the usual ending of the Fring meme "We are not the same," is "Ceci n'est pas la même," which is French for "This is not the same," making a reference to Magritte's "The Treachery of Images" (his famous painting of a pipe and the phrase "Cece n'est pas une pipe," meaning "This is not a pipe"). Honestly, reading this alt text for the image is probably stacking a whole additional layer onto this meditation on text, image, memes, and meaning. Aren't you lucky you checked it out!

And what kind of illiterate half-educated barbarian thinks Cormac McCarthy's line "As well ask men what they think of stone" is CLUNKY?!? That encapsulates the sentiment of the paragraph! "It's here, you deal with it whatever you think of it"!

A screenshot of a New York Times article, purely text. Under the banner, it reads: "You preferred human writing. You're either sharply attuned to the qualities that make for great writing, or a lucky guesser. Maybe you also noticed that human writing often includes some clunky phrases, like this passage from Cormac McCarthy's "Blood Meridian," caused by the author's aversion to punctuation: "As well ask men what they think of stone."

Jamelle Bouie, writing on the importance of valorizing neither deed nor (unduly) victim, says something I thought deserved elevating. We hear this these days in another guise: "believe people when they tell you who they are." It's just respectful - and you'll be more prepared for what they do.

A screenshot of text from a New York Times article by Jamelle Bouie. It reads, "It is sometimes considered gauche, in the world of American political commentary, to give words the weight of their meaning.
As this thinking goes, there might be real belief, somewhere, in the provocations of our pundits, but much of it is just performance, and it doesn't seem fair to condemn someone for the skill of putting on a good show."

The teenage newbie gets her name on a paper for helping out, and the value of the acknowledgement is brought home.

We know why it's called the Department of War. It's called that by lickspittles currying the favor of a narcissistic incompetent who thinks laws don't apply to him and thinks that renaming things changes what they are.

A screenshot of a news site article. The headline reads, "Trump Threatens 'War' on Chicago" and the byline is for Jacob Knutson, of September 6, 2025. Two paragraphs of the article are below a photo. They read, "President Donald Trump threatened to wage "WAR" against Chicago Saturday as his administration's large-scale immigration raids loomed over the city. "Chicago is about to find out why it's called the Department of WAR," the president said in a social media post, referring to the department he claimed to rename Friday."

A photograph of President Trump illustrates the article; he sits in the Oval Office flanked by Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and a second man in back, wearing a military uniform. A painting of Ronald Reagan smiles down on the scene. In the foreground, a bust of Lincoln bows his head with a somber expression.

The paragraph that really stood out to me. We've had a Forever War against "terrorism" overseas for decades. Without a domestic enemy it just doesn't translate into the justification for fascism that they want here. Targeting immigrants gets troops in the streets. newrepublic.com/article/1987...

A screenshot of a paragraph from a New Republic article. The paragraph reads as follows.

“Normalizing routine military support to law enforcement could create a kind of domestic ‘forever war,’ but one that is uniquely dangerous,” the Brennan Center’s Nunn told me. “As the Founders well understood, a military that is turned inward is a threat to both democracy and individual liberty.”

I have been to Abu Simbel and YES! There is indeed a set of vast and trunkless legs of stone! (Not what Shelley saw. If I understand right, he was inspired by a statue called the Lesser Memnon at the British Museum: seeing a trunk, he surmised the existence of trunkless legs abandoned somewhere.)

A photograph of one of the multistory-high beige stone statues of a seated Rameses II at Abu Simbel. The statue centered in the frame has had its upper torso broken, leaving a pair of seated legs while a large chunk of rounded, cut stone lies at an angle on the ground in the foreground. A more complete statue is to the viewer's left, and in back is a wall with carvings, a life-scale statue (about one-fifth the scale of the large ones) standing stiffly in a niche on a higher floor, and a slightly broken, headless life-sized statue low to the right, in front of a darker tunnel leading into the built-up area behind.

One more provision in the Big Bad Bill that I hadn't heard about until just now, and it's amazingly disgusting: the GOP wants to make it a risk for colleges to seek to educate poor and working-class kids. They really want education to be the privilege of the rich. newrepublic.com/article/1970...

A screenshot of a paragraph of text from a New Republic article, with a URL and sundry section headings at the top. The text reads as follows.

Most insidiously, the House bill conscripts colleges and universities themselves into debt. Under the guise of “accountability,” House Republicans want to force colleges and universities to pay back any unpaid federal loans for “high risk” students. This move is designed to penalize institutions for serving the low-income students who often struggle to pay their loans and discourage them from offering majors that are not maximally remunerative. They want to turn the working-class kid studying to become a social worker, artist, or a physician into a liability to her university.

One of the most eye-opening studies I ever saw was that Supreme Court justices ruled more often for free speech claims when the speaker was of their political persuasion - but the effect was *enormous* (and statistically significant) only for the conservative justices.

A bar graph from an analysis indicating the percentage of times US Supreme Court justices from 2014 had ruled in favor of the "free speech" side of an argument, divided according to when the speaker was conservative or liberal. Most justices have some apparent preference for free speech claims made by speakers of their political persuasion. The effect is enormous - rulings are made twice or as much as four times as often for friendly speakers - for conservative justices Thomas, Scalia, Alito, and Roberts. Statistical significance of this effect for those four justices makes a substantial argument that any convictions regarding free speech principles are at best surface level, and ignored by the conservative justices when possible to favor or disfavor speech based on its content.

Here he is still rough, but he is strong and generous, offering food to hungry English workmen and subtly digging at their industrial countrymen supporting the South and slavery.

A political cartoon from Harper's Weekly of December 13, 1862. The image is in two parts, left and right. On the left half, a fat English merchant under the sign of "John Bull Vari" (probably Variety) sells a raggedly-dressed Confederate rebel an armful of bayonetted guns. On the right, Brother Jonathan, representing the loyal Unionist Americans, is shown as a clean-shaven, muscular working man in striped pants and star-spangled work shirt, offering bags of corn and flour to starving English workmen.

The left side is titled "John Bull." Its caption reads: JOHN. "All right, MR. CONFEDERATE—the Money's all right. Call at our Little Shop again, Sir. Fit you out a Pirate, or make you Manacles for Slaves at shortest notice."

The right side is titled "Jonathan." Its caption reads: JONATHAN (to hungry English Workmen). "Starving, eh! Well, your Old Man hasn't behaved like a friend, or you would'nt have been in this pickle. But I can't see you hungry, so fire away."

In comparison, this image , from Puck magazine in 1896 (an American publication), features Uncle Sam in a much more flattering light, and suggests American-Canadian union is only a matter of time.

A political cartoon from the cover of Puck magazine, 1896. A cheerful Uncle Sam, standing next to a border marker labeled "USA," wears a gigantic horseshoe magnet around his waist, its bars labeled "Common Interests" and "Business." The magnet is pulling at a nervous-looking young lady with "Canada" written on her hat, so hard that her feet have lifted off the ground. She is held back to a post labeled "British Dominion" and "Sir MacDonald" by a band of cloth tied around her waist labeled "Conservative Majority." The image is titled "It's Only a Matter of Time," and is captioned "Old Fogyism may hold her back for a while, but she is bound to come to us." The scan is watermarked by Bridgeman Images.

Finally, in this image from 1840 we see a different (and rather ominous) Brother Jonathan, riding a rail into Canada and trampling French-Canadian rights.

A political cartoon from "Punch in Canada," 1849, titled "The Way Brother Jonathan will Astonish the Natives," with caption and additional commentary text. The picture shows an ominous gigantic figure in a suit sitting atop a locomotive labeled "American Eagle," smoking and making its way up the tracks toward the viewer. A sign nearby says "Auberge." A displeased man is caught between the rails beneath the locomotive, with scattered papers about him reading "Langue," "Crown Lands," "Nos Loix", etc. A caption reads, "Annexation comes in by the rail, while liberty lies off in the smoke."

A paragraph of historical commentary below describes the image and says it tries to argue that French-Canadians would be robbed of special privileges should Canada be annexed to America. The commentary says, "The artist's conception of Brother Jonathan is somewhat unique."

In this image from 1869 we see a simpler Jonathan, being shown Canada's ambitions for a cross-country railway. Canada says it will "stop the foolish talk about annexation," and Jonathan replies, "Wal Miss, I guess you're about right thar; but I'll believe it when I see it."

A political cartoon from Diogenes Magazine, November 5th 1869, with descriptive text, titled "From Halifax to Vancouver." A classically dressed young woman, representing Canada, points out a railroad with a banner over it reading "Canada-Pacific Railway." She is addressing a country bumpkin in striped pants and top hat with an amazed expression, representing America.

Dialogue below the picture: Miss Canada - "This is what we want, cousin Jonathan. It will give us real independence, and stop the foolish talk about annexation." Jonathan - "Wal Miss, I guess you're about right thar; but I'll believe it when I see it."

A paragraph of text below adds historical commentary about the beginning of the cross-country rail route, and mentions that the feat was accomplished in 1886.

In possibly the most famous image along these lines (Wikipedia hosted), from 1886, we see Jonathan as a Northern dandy, with jaunty top hat and cigar. Mrs. Britannia asks her daughter Canada if she has ever given her cousin Jonathan any "encouragement," to which she replies, certainly not.

A political cartoon from 1886, titled "A Pertinent Question," with written dialogue below. A standing figure, representing America in the figure of Brother Jonathan as something of a Northern dandy, is dressed in striped pants, waistcoat, and dark jacket, with a top hat, goatee beard, and cigar on which he is puffing as he leans against a column. Nearby, two women sit on a bench in full skirts of a classical style. The younger woman, dressed in a warm fur coat and representing Canada, leans away from Jonathan, and toward the older woman, wearing a crested helmet and representing Britannia.

The dialogue below the picture reads: Mrs. Britannia.—“Is it possible, my dear, that you have ever given your cousin Jonathan any encouragement?” Miss Canada.—“Encouragement! Certainly not, Mamma. I have told him that we can never be united.”

The attached snippet about Army recruiting brings up a point I think should get wider airing when we're responding to someone deriding "DEI" and the like. It's not about points on the scale for women and minorities. The benefit to the org is a larger recruiting pool, which means better candidates.

A screenshot of several paragraphs of text from an article on military.com describing a surge in female recruits as having been necessary for the Army to meet its recruiting goals last year as male enlistment dropped. The article describes the public-facing portions of the service's recruiting campaigns as having changed little, still predominantly featuring men. Speaker Katherine Kuzminski at the Center for a New American Security is quoted as saying, "It's not about pandering to women; it's about creating a professional environment accessing the best talent, where we've been undervaluing pursuing women."

If all 800 of them are not attacking at once, that seems like a large enough group to maintain a pool of mounts for whoever's on highwayman duty today. Gangs today share guns. Modern merc forces on the ocean have ships as mobile arsenals as well, see this NYTimes article:

A screencap of text from a New York Times article. It reads: "Many merchant vessels hired private security starting in 2008 as pirates began operating across larger expanses of ocean, outstripping governments' policing capacities. Guns and guards at sea are now so ubiquitous that a niche industry of floating armories has emerged. The vessels - part storage depot, part bunkhouse - are positioned in high-risk areas of international waters and house hundreds of assault rifles, small arms and ammunition.
