We didn't start the fire. Homo heidelbergensis did.

Ancient Humans Were Making Fire 350,000 Years Earlier Than Scientists Realized
Making fire on demand was a milestone in the lives of our early ancestors. But the question of when that skill first arose has been difficult for scientists to pin down

perfidy (concealing a military object as a civilian object like Hegseth apparently did) is both morally abhorrent and also puts EVERYONE in danger because it erodes existing and pretty-dang-effective norms around “don’t shoot at civilian aircraft.”

OK, now going down a rabbit hole on L'Affaire Derrida in 1993 and learning that Columbia University has NEVER had a spine.

newcriterion.com/article/laff...
No one who has followed Derrida’s career will find it surprising that, as Wolin put it elsewhere, he “deconstructs into nonexistence the gravity of Heidegger’s Nazism.” Derrida did the same thing when the literary critic Paul de Man was discovered to have written scores of articles for pro-Nazi newspapers in the late Thirties and early Forties. But Derrida does not take kindly to criticism. When he discovered Wolin’s book in a New York bookshop, he immediately had his lawyer write Columbia University Press threatening legal action. Never mind that Derrida had no case: the intimidation worked. Columbia let the book (which was selling briskly) go out of print and bullied Wolin into withdrawing a planned paperback edition even without the Derrida interview.

When we were cage & housetraining the pups, we called the cage "peehab" and would sing Amy Winehouse to the doggies when we had to cage them.

Some guy, who must have just moved to the Big City of Portland, took his Christmas Tree out of his apartment in the building on our corner and tried to burn it.

Firetrucks responded.
An idiot burning a tree in the street next to a parked car. He is holding it by the top, upright, as it burns. It is next to a fire hydrant.

#CrimeOfPassion was interesting but needed tightening, for sure, and more suspense, maybe a doublecross, around the weapon. And Stanwyck did chew the scenery; more understated would've been better, like her reaction to her ass of an editor early on. #NoirAlley #TCMParty
