As a johnny-come-lately to this, something obviously thrashed out millions of times for the past two millennia, to me it’s a very telling omission or reinterpretation indeed. Think we might be talking Chaucer or Luther here.

Here’s what looks like a Protestant version:

This continues over at UHC-WP and let me explain why. I see UHC-WP as personal writing, including any of mine, something which might even just appeal to ourselves alone, probably not our usual, not ones which would appeal to all.

Hence my “song for myself” was not run at HQ … it was run over there. Similarly, should Steve wish to run that Boston ditty over there, as it means so much to him, then that’s the obvious place. I’d signpost it from here. To explain further, Deryl today ran this about X:

Yes, that’s an issue over there … I lose people all the time, e.g. landscape art mutual followers who see my politics and that’s me dumped. Similarly, I was dumped by middle-class lady Xers who are duped by Nige … it goes on the whole time.

So … the post on The Second Commandment is HERE.

 

This could have been done by embedding the film, except for the review and AKH’s comment:

(1056) Approaching elevenses. Binn finking about sidebar comments … those in the screen window when you come to HQ (at the moment Penseivat and maybe Fido) don’t need signposting until other comments push them down the sidebar, then I’d signpost as a post item, if it has links attached, not X).

Three Voices, One Old Song, and a Nearly Perfect Moment

In 1976, on a simple stage lit by warm golden lights, Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, and Emmylou Harris sat side by side. Dolly held a guitar, her blonde hair glowing under the lights. The three of them began to sing “Bury… pic.twitter.com/PHl5QIcgxl

Now, having listened to their dulcet tones, time to turn this sour, as is the Unherdables wont. I don’t mean on these three themselves, I mean on the whole US country music scene, behind the scenes. And I don’t mean just the drinking and debauchery, nor even the drugs.

I’m thinking specifically of Kristofferson and the DID trauma training. Many know of Bob Hope … a way down that rabbit hole is Joey Heatherington’s messed up life … and Dick Cheney has been mentioned by some women, apart from his shotgun skills … but someone like Kristofferson gets clean away with it (allegedly).

It’s a nasty scene. One worth exploring is Tammy Wynette, though she’s more in the messed up category.

11. Fido has an article on fires

| https://farn.org.ar/en/patagonia-wildfires-impossible-to-stop/

“Wildfires in Argentine and Chilean Patagonia have burned more than 90,000 acres of land since January 5. In Chile alone, at least 18 people have been killed this month as a result of the fires. While efforts to contain the flames are ongoing, outbreaks can rapidly reignite with a single gust of wind or heatwave.

“There was a confluence of many climatic factors,” said Andrés Nápoli, director of the Environment and Natural Resources Foundation (FARN). “This year has not had enough snowfall; there are low humidity levels and a high accumulation of combustible elements in the forest” — a reference to monoculture pine plantations, which act as “powder kegs.”

Compounding these conditions, Milei’s government defunded the forestry law that allocated resources to protect native forests. Firefighter salaries have fallen below $500 a month, under Argentina’s poverty line for a family of four. As a result, communities have stepped in, creating makeshift firebreaks with chainsaws, rakes, hoses, and other everyday tools. Firefighters continue to work on the front lines, often taking on second jobs just to survive.

Conspiracy theories have circulated claiming that Israeli citizens are responsible for the fires or, as suggested by Argentina’s president Javier Milei, that they were deliberately started by the Indigenous Mapuche people in Argentina and Chile. The prosecutor investigating the case, Carlos Díaz Mayer, confirmed that accelerants were found at the site where the fire likely began, but there is no evidence to support these claims.”
