— Gabriel Malor

Happy Thursday.

I'm always surprised when Penny Arcade's comic & blog post manage to dovetail with what we're talking about, but I suppose I shouldn't be, since they're often reacting to the same news that we are. If you're new to PA, the comic is satire, the blog post is where the goods are at.

The NRCC is trying to teach GOP politicians how to run against women candidates without Todd Akinizing themselves.

Fox News has recap from yesterday's congressional hearing on Obama's end runs around Congress. Ace talks about that hearing on the podcast that'll be posted tomorrow.

Oh, hey, 2 million Facebook, Gmail, and Twitter passwords were stolen, so if you happen to use those services, you might consider changing your passwords.

Movie and comic geeks, Israeli actress Gal Gadot has been cast as Wonder Woman in the upcoming Batman vs. Superman film.

Morning, ‘rons and ‘ronettes.  Only a short piece today.

 

 

Yesterday I mentioned, in passing, the photographer Alfred Cheney Johnston.  He was a photographer known for his portraits of actors (but mostly actresses) of the 20s and 30s.  But his initial fame came from a 1917 meeting with impresario Florenz Ziegfeld.  Under contract to “Ziggy,” Johnston became the unofficial house photographer of the Follies, producing shots of single showgirls or groups of them clothed in the extravagant fashions of the day.

 

 

But after his death in 1971, a cache of nude and semi-nude photographs – many of the same Follies girls heÂ’d photographed in costume – were found among his effects.  Because of their partial and full-frontal nudity, of course, they could never have been publicly published during JohnstonÂ’s lifetime.  Here are two (NSFW, of course):

 

 

This is of showgirl Dorothy Flood:  http://tinyurl.com/d3xu33b

 

 

This is an anonymous nude from sometime in the 1920s:  http://tinyurl.com/kvh8ett

 

 

Johnston also shot what we would call “boudoir photographs,” sometimes of actresses, sometimes of society ladies.  I canÂ’t link it but, for example, actress Norma Shearer made several nude and semi-nude photos of herself as a wedding gift for her husband, MGM chief of production Irving Thalberg.

 

 

If youÂ’re interested in seeing more of JohnstonÂ’s work, you must get the book Jazz Age Beauties: The Lost Collection of Ziegfeld Photographer Alfred Cheney Johnston, by Robert Hudovernik.

 

 

IÂ’ve got a meeting to go to, so IÂ’ll see you all later.  Hope you have a wonderful day.

64 55 -

The female form tends to be fairly simple.  Or it used to be.  Large breasted women are often overweight.  Thinner women tend to be smaller breasted.

Generally speaking, when you have a combination other than that, it's due to science and surgery, not the natural  gifts from God. 

There are exceptions, of course, but not many.

Christina Hendricks is NOT an exception.  She's both scientifically enhanced, and... fat. 

There, I said it.

65 Remember a few years back when the NHS was treating people with that body dysmorphic disease that want to cut limbs off by cutting their limbs off? They put a stop to it eventually, but still... I really don't see much difference between that and people who have sex changes. It probably explains why so many are unhappy and commit suicide afterwards. I wish there were more studies available. I think they hide the results because they are not supportive of cutting your weenie or breasts off. Anecdotal but there are a lot of MSM sex changes. There was a sports guy in LA who killed himself after he had his sex change. There was the guy in NY who came out and a couple of months later went back. There are a lot more, too.

The people that waited on me at this Mcd's were not the brightest bulbs in the pack. God love em (I mean it) they were working and doing what they needed to do, but they had a lot of people working there that, if a big minimum wage increase goes through, will probably  be out of a job.

112 Azenogoth, what is Twilight but a romance novel with a badly flawed heroine and instead of a moody distant cold male lead have a stalker Emo vampire.

Another thing is, science in the fiction is becoming rarer because the writers and readers seem incurious about actually learning science.  Rarely are we seeing such as Heart of the Comet by Brin anymore.

People jumped all over Barbie saying 'Math is hard' but we are seeing that in the readership. Hence YA and NA novels are selling while SF is just there.  Even would the Posleen series from Baen be considered 'science' science fiction, take away the the technology and it could be stories of the Napoleonic Wars.  Now that I think on it, the last science fiction novel that was 'science' that I enjoyed was probably Glen Cook's Dragon Never Sleeps.

122 The only group that a hike in the minimum wage helps are unions. Most union contracts are tied to the minimum wage. Minimum wage goes up, union saleries go up. This is why thr new constitutonal amendmet in new jersey raising the Minimum wage and adjusting it up every year for inflation is so disasterous. Its going to raise prices of goods and services from the private sector and increase taxes to cover rising saleries of the public sector. Its a perfect nexus of fail.

The cobalt-60 was found, removed from its casing, in a rural area near the town of Hueypoxtla about 25 miles from where the truck was stolen. Jimenez suspected that curiosity got the better of the thieves and they opened the box. So far the carjackers have not been arrested, but authorities expect they will not live long.

Sometimes what he rights is great, sometimes it's utter crap. This was the latter. Being soaked in technology as they are, I think they sometimes overlook the obvious: there are severe privacy concerns about both public and private operated drones. And that's not just a guy out in the hinterlands saying this. The guys over at Volokh have said pretty much the same thing. For the PA guys to simply dismiss it as such, is, frankly, insulting. But as I said, they're literally soaked in tech , and to a certain extent they've conceded their privacy already in exchange for the money and fame. (although they were more alarmist about the Kinect than I was ironically) I'm not a privacy nut by any stretch, but we do have to figure out how to balance it with drones.

Although lately they've given in to what I've heard referred to as "Social Justice warriors" at pretty much every conflict. Imagine if Carlin or Pryor folded so easily. But Geekdom (like secularism in general) demands conformity of thought while pretending to embrace individuality (it's great hypocrisy.) It is why I put the "conservative" moniker before "geek" in my self description on twitter (I use "right wing" now to piss people off more). I stopped being a geek first years ago.

175 Budget negotiators are nearing a deal that could ease the way for leaders to avert another government shutdown before the 2014 elections, but only if rank and file — particularly in the House — buy into the agreement.

Senate Budget Chairwoman Patty Murray, D-Wash., and House Budget Chairman Paul D. Ryan, R-Wis., are expected to announce a framework in the coming days that would set a top-line number for appropriators higher than the current sequester levels but lower than what Democrats have previously demanded.

According to sources, the increased spending would be offset by less controversial pay-fors, including spectrum sales and some mandatory health care cuts. The two lawmakers have been meeting regularly, including a session Wednesday. Murray attended despite the SenateÂ’s recess.

But many top leadership aides in the Capitol are skeptical that any agreement between Murray and Ryan can pass the House, and those aides feel largely in the dark about what might happen after the deal is struck, with or without successful votes on it in both chambers. Republican leaders have vowed they will not shut down the government again, but how Congress will keep it open remains up in the air.

I posited to my wife last year that had I worn a "Mitt Romney" shirt to PAX, I'd have been likely mercilessly mocked, or probably worse! This from a culture that espouses the idea that "you are what you want to be" right down to the idea of gender. (Absurdity!) Unless, of course, you want to be conservative. (Libertarians can squeak by, but only because they have the proper views on drugs.) It's maddening. I watch Geek culture slowly marginalize anyone whose not a fan of bigger government, "women's health" (snark contained in quotes) and LBQRTSUV everything and weep. What should be an incredibly diverse group (by the nature of the fact that the unifying elements stand apart from the normal cultural unifiers) is in fact, quite the opposite. There is more intellectual diversity in academic bioethics than geekdom, and y'all know how I feel about the intellectual diversity there .

225 I've been watching a bit of your footy and I do enjoy it - even though I love our own Rugby League and Rugby Union

Watching those huge blokes running around is quite a sight - I've even got used to them wearing helmets - our footy blokes are almost naked compared to your footy players!

Second row player here!

Rugby looks completely chaotic and disorganized compared to American football, but is more fluid and fast-paced.  I miss playing it.

The total grab from Medicare is $700 billion. Gee, that won't hasten the go broke date any.

233 Posted by: EC at December 05, 2013 09:08 AM (GQ8sn) The cartoon wasn't even about that. This is the irony part. The joke was how crappy in game morality systems are. "Yay you've rescued 5 people, forget the other 10 we put in the cave to rescue! You're good." So they had the NPC the character never rescues recount the horrible story as the player walks off. Somehow people saw this as..supportive or rape? I'll never get that. The new hate on them is because they openly copped to not paying their IT worker market wage. To wit I say: if you have people willing to accept less than market because they want to be in your glow, PAY THEM LESS THAN MARKET. (OR differently: Market is complicated.) But again, "Social Justice Keyboard Warriors."

Sure, and I will even write somewhat lucidly.

The left is made up of two cornerstones, collectivism and some hair shirt for western civilization through multi-culti self-flagellation.

They are not really atheist they are anti Christian, they worship Gaia or Marx in varying degrees and have displaced religious magic thinking thought for imponderables with a blind deference to magic thinking on economics and human nature.

Radical Islam will kill you if you offend it too hard, AND tends to have the same rogues gallery rolodex as the left so they absorb the misogyny that pisses off part of their coalition's surface pecadillo because even a majority of that portion accept it is for the greater good of the hidden agenda.

Leftbattery is a planet ran by people with the judgement and moral fiber of five year olds.
