TIL that in the 1630s there was a song only played in the Sistine Chapel. The Vatican kept the composition of "Miserere Mei, Deus" secret for 140 years until 14-year-old Mozart listened to it 2 times, transcribed it from memory, and produced one of the earliest records of musical piracy.

By that time it would have become public domain even in the US, so no piracy.

Christopher Wray Says FBI Not Sure A Bullet Hit Trump's Ear | HuffPost Latest News


“It’s conceivable, although as I sit here right now, I don’t know whether that bullet, in addition to causing the grazing, could have also landed somewhere else. But I believe we’ve accounted for all of the shots in the cartridges.”

".... could have also landed somewhere else. But I believe we’ve accounted for all of the shots in the cartridges."

I hate being right. I kept hammering on number of shots, who was standing where, who got hit in what order, because it tells us what Crooks was aiming at and if he misjudged windage/bullet drop or was just a shitty marksman.

If we know how many shots were fired, then we'd better find an equivalent number of bullets. Behind DJT was a grandstand of people on a stair-stepped stage, but only four out of 5-10 shots hit anything? Where are the other bullets? Did someone from the campaign conceal evidence to support the courageous-hero-rising-defiant-and-unbowed narrative?

These are details I would expect the FBI/USSS to know.

So I'm sitting down, weeding my pollinator garden (I'm plagued with crabgrass but I refused to spray, paranoid about chemicals hurting bees and honey) and my husband says, "See I'd have no idea what was a weed."
Me: It's only a weed if it's unwanted.

Russia would lose up to 1.8 million troops and take 5 years to capture the 4 Ukrainian regions it wants: UK army chief

I am afraid Putin will see this as a bargain.
Gen. Sir Roly Walker said he'd based his estimation on the "current rate of attrition of dead and wounded" faced by Moscow's forces in Ukraine, according to UK media. [...] "If they carry on as they are, it would probably take the Russians five years to grind their way to their minimum objectives of the four oblasts," he added, referring to Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia.

Not saying give up, but once 'conventional wisdom' (fabrications, speculations and outright lies) are pronounced by pundits and so-called 'journalists' it can't be retracted.

Judith Miller's lies about Iraq led us directly to war. People should have been sent to prison for that.

This is the Handmaid's Tale future waiting for us in every state if Republicans get their way. You can't have a safe, legal abortion. If you self-medicate, the hospital will call the sheriff on you and you'll get hauled off to jail.

It's only 2024 though, and federal judges still let you sue when Texas does it. This one is even a Trump appointee, but we'll still be much safer with VP Harris-nominated judges.

CynAq🤘 mastodon (AP)
@admitsWrongIfProven rich people and their fans don’t expect it to go on forever. They just believe they’re shielded enough from the real world that they will still come out on top (and alive) when all hell breaks loose.

They’re betting on everyone killing each other to bring the population down to manageable numbers, after which they will achieve sustainability without changing a dang thing about their lifestyles, if not improve upon what they have now.

That’s the reason for things like the AI push and cryptocurrencies before that. They envision themselves the rulers of a post-apocalyptic tech dystopia where traditional governments don’t exist.

Heat pump question for #yeg residents. Do you have a heat pump? If so, were you able to fully electrify, or just supplement gas heating? If fully electrified, was this in a retrofitted house, or brand new super-insulated house?

Called a recommended provider who didn't seem to think my hopes of full electrification were realistic. Want some feedback from the community.
#yeg
My understanding is that supplementary heat is still a necessity in #yeg, but that’s not really the catastrophic flaw that it’s often made out to be…
If the heat pump is adequate in -15C (to heat your house to 20C), then when we have -25C, your gas furnace only needs to provide an additional 10C worth of heat, not the full 45C difference. Essentially the heat pump transports your home to a different ‘climate’ where only minimal heating is required from your ‘traditional’ source.

Cap’n Guyliner is Mooselini with a beard (H/T Scissorhead Skinny-D)

Cap’n Guyliner and Hillbilly Effigy JDVance literally wrote the foreword for a new book by former Trump administration staffer and Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts —who is also the architect of fascistic Project 2025. The book, Dawn’s Early Light: Taking Back Washington to Save America is a rundown of why Project 2025 is such a great thing. Says Cap’n Guyliner:
“Never before has a figure with Roberts’s depth and stature within the American Right tried to articulate a genuinely new future for conservatism,” Vance writes, according to the book’s Amazon page. “We are now all realizing that it’s time to circle the wagons and load the muskets. In the fights that lay ahead, these ideas are an essential weapon.”

What ideas? Like Vance, Roberts is obsessed with the idea that the left controls major American institutions — he lists Ivy League colleges, the FBI, the New York Times, the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, the Department of Education and even the Boy Scouts of America. The book argues that “conservatives need to burn down” these institutions if “we’re to preserve the American way of life.” (Vox has requested a copy of the book, but has not yet received one at the time of this writing.)

As we all know, Our Stable Jenius, the disgraced 78-year old, 34-count convicted felon and adjudicated rapist Donald Trump has tried to distance hisself from Project 2025, which was written by many of his closest allies and the nazis who are likely to staff his next administration and will administer Project 2025.

Despite Hair Füror’s denials, Trump = Project 2025. That’s the truth, and that is the message.

So back to Cap’n Guyliner, he’s in the soup. There are many articles and thought pieces up today wondering why Grandpa Sundowner chose him, and of course how long until The Apprentice is You’re Fired’ed, including former Trump adviser Anthony Scaramucci who wonders “how many Scaramuccis J.D. is going to last?”:
He is not doing well on the stump for Donald Trump. He’s hurting him, the memes on social media are killing him, the net negatives are terrible for the vice president. The vice president on the Trump campaign is supposed to get out of the way, and he has become an issue for Donald Trump. So he could have picked Nikki Haley, or he could have picked somebody, but Trump is such a narcissist he didn’t want anybody taking credit for his electoral success. He didn’t want somebody on CNN saying, “Yeah, he won that and Nikki Haley helped him,” so he picked J.D. Vance and now he’s got to live, at least for now, with this millstone on his neck. I mean, he may or may not make it to November 5th.

The excrescence known as Steve Schmidt is gloating for obvious reasons: someone FINALLY made a worse choice than Sarah Palin!!1!
I always knew it was theoretically possible that Sarah Palin would one day be eclipsed by a candidate more dishonest, fraudulent and weird than her. In the way I know it is possible for aliens to arrive tomorrow, I’ve always known it was possible that one day someone as equally unfit and terrifying could emerge. I just didn’t think I’d live to see it.

Yet, here we are in 2024, and the man who believes Putin is our friend and cat ladies are a threat is poised to be a heartbeat away from the presidency if Donald Trump wins.

Polymarket has a political futures contract on whether Sen. J.D. Vance will remain as Donald Trump’s running mate, if you want to get in on the action.

UPDATE 1: Not that this should be a surprise, but Kevin Roberts is part of Opus Dei.

Für ihr exklusives Treffen hat sich die rechte Szene ein Gasthaus im bayerischen Gremheim ausgesucht, ein Ort mit etwa 540 Einwohnern nahe der Donau. Es ist Samstag, der 13. Juli. Im schmucklosen Gastraum mit großem Kruzifix an der Wand wurden Tische zu einer langen Tafel zusammengeschoben, an der hinter Biergläsern einige Männer sitzen, manche von ihnen scharf gescheitelt. Unter den Männern, das zeigt ein Foto, das ZEIT ONLINE vorliegt, befindet sich auch Andreas Kalbitz, Rechtsextremist und ehemalige AfD-Größe aus Brandenburg. Auch zwei Landtagsabgeordnete sind dabei. Einer von ihnen: Daniel Zerbin aus Nordrhein-Westfalen.
