I hate dubbed movies. I always prefer subtitles … except for #GODZILLA MINUS ONE!

Listening to the ham fisted voice actors in the overdubs brings me right back to my childhood, watching Toho monster movies on UHF channel 18.

I like 'em both ways. The dubbed voices (usually the same small group of voice actors) were half the fun. Also, often the dubbed versions are more faithful translations, since subtitles have to be read quickly and so are not always as complete.

Along with a promise to end democracy if he makes it back into the White House this year, his running mate also made a major policy statement on what they'll deliver if enough Americans choose to vote for them or if too many Americans choose not to bother voting.

I think it's criminal healthcare orgs and workers won't mask up to protect vulnerable patients. STUDY of #COVID19 and flu in ICU patients finds:

The incidence rates of ICU-acquired infections were 31.6/1000 and 9.9/1000 ICU-days in the COVID-19 and influenza cohorts, respectively. ICU-acquired infection was associated with a prolonged time in the ICU, with more difficult-to-treat gram-negative infections.

As well as leading to the permanent removal of the flag, her action ignited a wider debate about the impact of Confederate monuments in the States.

TIL about the White Revolution, a sweeping -- and mostly successful -- program to modernize Iran. One element of it ended feudalism and gave farms to the farmers, but many of them ended up worse off than they were under feudalism. This caused a domino effect that led to the Islamic Revolution.

I never respond to random texts. However, this time I could not resist. #TrumpCanSuckMyBalls #KHive #Kamala #Vote

Screenshot of a random SMS text that appears to be a poll from "Opinions USA".

The text reads: "On a scale from 1 - 10 (1 being the lowest), how would you rate President Donald Trump? - Opinions USA."

My response is "0" (zero).

No reply back from the other end. I guess they didn't like my opinion of their "president".

The polling in France was so persuasive, bolstered as it was by mis-and disinformation, that Macron himself was taken in. I don't believe the polls. I don't believe the lying liars who want to suck out all the hope. When my knees start to wobble, I remind myself that folks far more astute than I failed to read the room because of all the noise, and I grab my walking stick and start back up the hill.

Tomi T Ahonen 4 months ago • mastodon (AP)

I hear you. as a lifetime statistician, forecaster, consultant, pollster and author (and educator) I am ashamed of my industry and how it is failing voters in so many countries. It is charlatans and snake oil salesmen who know better, who use the illusion of truth when they use numbers to deceive

I also provide my analysis of all numbers of all elections and I have always been able to decypher the reality out of them, for good and for bad. So hang in there with me. We will win

Hell yah. Count me in.

Tomi T Ahonen 4 months ago • mastodon (AP)

BTW Rose, in the last cycle (2020) the pollsters ran fake polls sporadically, and media reported those, but the pollsters corrected towards the election so final polls matched reality. This time they went overboard with that, entertaining us with such lunacy, that Trump who has never gotten to 47% of the vote - somehow after Jan 6 and Espionage-A-Lago and whatnot, is above 50%. That is just absurd. BUT the pollsters knew, if they correct in next three months, their last polls ok

Kevin Leecaster 4 months ago • mastodon (AP)

Starting in 2014 or so, the Kremlin started using social media to impact public opinion.

It's obvious to me that in order to test how much impact their different approaches had they hired polling companies to measure it for them and along the way they also discovered that the mere fact of publishing poll results impacts public opinions.

They have used fake polling to keep their man Trump propped up as a viable candidate imo.

@GreenFire @Originallyrose Kremlin, Putin, yes and now. Bannon with Putin absolutely yes. And Putin of course wants to sow dischord in the West by any means, social media for him is just the latest method. I would not put this on Putin. It is Bannon's 'mind raping' (his words, not mine) via Cambridge Analytica and Facebook that did the damage in 2016. BUT yes, some Moscow funding and KGB brainwashing experts joined Bannon

@Kevin Leecaster @Rose

Kevin Leecaster 4 months ago • mastodon (AP)

I have no doubt that Bannon has been in contact with the Kremlin's agents for decades and decades.

I also suspect that Steve Bannon was involved with the fossil fuel industry, which is what the Kremlin is a member of, for a long time helping them to block climate action by spreading disinformation online even prior to the world wide web.

The same for Roger Stone too btw.

Conspiracy theories though are hard to nail the details down sadly so idk.

An absolutely delightful sidepath tag on sale at the usual place, from Cortland, New York -- I'm going to go out on a limb and say something that isn't mentioned on the listing, which is that this is from 1905. In fact seeing this helps explain the shape of a 1906 side path tag that I've been stumped by previously. The price for these, as usual, is more than I'm interested in paying, but it seems as if there is a market for them.

a metal band, meant to be wrapped around a bicycle fork frame, with "Sidepath" and the number 1212 and "Cortland Co" stamped into it. The entire band is cut intot the shape of the numeral 5.
