Promo Monday
I’ll be at the Kafe klatch, if you haven’t had a chance to catch up with me otherwise.
And since I don’t leave till Monday morning, feel free to let me know if you want to join the informal, unorganized, secondary Huns dinner to take place tomorrow night at City Cafe. I’ll be out of my con persona and probably very quiet, but it is what it is.
Anyway. It’s been a good con, but exhausting. Sorry if we ran away after my reading. There were a couple of you I wished to speak to, but we had a minor emergency.
I’ll try to be up early and moving around tomorrow.
According To Hoyt 
I’d been extremely surprised if you posted Promos on Sunday. 😉
Hopefully, you get rested up before you head home.

it was a minor “I have to answer this” emergency. Nothing bad.

Im not there, but as the saying goes, it’s like that sometimes.
I thought about our hostess saying there’s a shortage of competence when it took me three tries to find a gallon of milk last night at the grocery store. Then I left the candy bars I’d paid for behind.

a gallon that wasn’t leaking I meant.

People leave stuff behind all the time. They’re tired and a little distracted. So usually cashiers are alert for this to happen, but they don’t always catch it happening.

Leaking milk… I don’t know what causes that. Maybe slamming around a plastic milk container until milk starts coming out the top.

Seemed to be leaking from the bottom, so bad seams?

I was taking a couple bottles of drinking water to the shop/barn, and carried them in the bucket of the tractor. (Hey, it all needed to be there…) One of the bottles tipped over and the seam broke. This is the same kind of bottle that milk is sold around here, so one point of anecdata.
(I haven’t noticed polyethylene water bottles getting any thinner, but a lot of stuff seems to show that finest-kind Ornamental quality control nowadays. Which seems to have gone further downhill.)

Drop one, and leaking seams as well as caps are a possibility.

Drop one, and it bursts like a water balloon. Those jugs are weak.

They’re made just barely thick enough to hold the milk in under ordinary conditions. If they get jostled hard enough in shipment, pressure surges in the milk can split the plastic. Sometimes it just drips. Sometimes it unleashes a white flood.
But they’re Saving The Planet by using less plastic!

There was a video of the MOP (MOstly Peaceful?) strike on Fordow making the rounds yesterday. Taken from at least five miles away, given how long it took the sound to reach the camera — and I thought it was daylight until the fireball faded. Very mostly peaceful. So mostly peaceful you’ll wonder how that much mostly-peace is even possible. :D

Iran’s attack going in now on Doha. Let’s hope it’s a squib.

A squib, one they warned us they were sending.
The mullahs were just about done. Now, with the cease fire in place, the combatants survive and can regain strength. To again conflict later.
The ceasefire guarantees another 7 October, and an eventual thermonuclear MadMulla regime.
In 2020, the DeepState manipulated Trump’s germaphobe quirk to wreck things economic, to wreck him, and his re-election.
In 2025, they did it -again-, this time hitting his “peacemaker” button before we had a true defeat of a persistent foe, thus preserving/prolonging the MIC’s megaprofits from the eternal mideast war. Also ensuring we think we can make future -limited- strikes to end wars, instead of what we just did which was prolong the war, because
we did -not- cut the head off the fucking snake.
Again.
Mr. Trump, you got conned. Bigly. Your heart is in the right place. You fundamentally understand one should -defeat- opponents, not just poke them or one-up them occasionally. The problem is you listen to folks without souls as if they were not evil, manipulative treasonous bastards.
War is over when one side begs for surrender, or there is no one effectively left to do so.
“ceasefire” is not “victory”. “I am out of opponents” is “victory”. “They quit and joined my team” also works.
Well? What next?
The MadMullahs get some South African mining experts, run shafts a mile underground, build a new facility and put centrifuges and a plutonium breeder there. Repeat in several locations. One fine day of some significant date, Tel Aviv and NYC have oddly timed dawns in their harbors.
If the Iranian people toss our the Twelver Weirdbeards, we have a chance to avoid it. If not, the above scenario is all but certain.
Because no one cut the head off the fucking snake.
Again.
Mister president, cut the heads off the fucking snakes.
