Thursday More Yarn Open Comments

Well, this is crochet on a level I can’t – won’t – don’t want – to achieve.

crochet artist creates life-sized, anatomically correct skeleton
crochet artist creates life-sized, anatomically correct knitted skeleton

we’ve seen a lot of crocheted items in the past – granted, they are mostly food but every now and then an artist will surprise with a take on knitting inspired by the body. last month psychiatrist dr. karen norberg added to her ongoing fascination with cerebral art with her anatomically correct, knitted model of the human brain. now we’ve discovered artist shanell papp who has crocheted a whole cadaver, creating bones and organs out of wool to fill this life-sized knitted skeleton.

    30.6 degrees in Bellville, Texas and 53.4 degrees in Maywood, New Jersey – go figure.

    A week from today, we’ll be back in the single digits here.

    31 degrees in my driveway, 38 degrees by the time I got to Buffalo Speedway. It was still dark when I got here. 7 degrees difference in 25 miles. Of course, there is lots more concrete, cars and other stuff generating heat when you get closer to the center of our enormous city.

    Very scary story here. Good read.

    We were too tired to think much about it that evening, but the next day we – Brad and the two remaining members of the coding team – had a meeting. We talked about what we had. Blake gave it its name: Shiri’s Scissor. In some dead language, scissor shares a root with schism. A scissor is a schism-er, a schism-creator. And that was what we had. We were going to pivot from online advertising to superweapons. We would call the Pentagon. Tell them we had a program that could make people hate each other. Was this ethical? We were in online ads; we would sell our grandmothers to Somali slavers if we thought it would get us clicks. That horse had left the barn a long time ago.

    With Democratic supermajorities in both chambers of the legislature, SB 608 is likely to pass, making Oregon the first state with statewide rent control.

    Just above freezing out here in centex. Crystal clear skies again, with bright sun that hurts my eyes leading me to believe that cataracts are setting in. As most of you know, I’ve been keeping up with the SOTU debate, and I’m assuming that today Nancy will be claiming victory by shutting down the President of the United States, controlling the venue, and controlling the message. She may be right, but throughout these negotiations, Trump is the one who has always appeared flexible and willing to negotiate while Nancy is running around the world and being an obstructionist. This deal started off with her coming up with some lame excuse about security to postpone the SOTU, which once debunked, led to to the truth which was basically something to this effect -“I’m a woman, I’m irrational, and I said no.” We’ll see how Trump eventually responds, but I have a feeling this isn’t over yet. You all have a great day.

    The article in Sarge #7 is a must read as it easily explains the turmoil we have been in over the last 30 years or so in addition to the increase of the temperature of the rhetoric.
    I am reminded of the Biblical prohibition of spreading strife after reading the article.

    For those of you out searching for Ruth this morning, I have an insider update. Seems they have drained the water from the ice beer cooler at the 7-11 on Harrisburg and moved the whole shebang over to an old service station that now serves as an ice house over on Clinton Drive. Check it out if you are in the neighborhood, and I’ll keep you posted if there are more updates.

    Makes you wonder if she is going on an around the world cruise in the hold of one of those freighters. The Dems have got to keep her hidden out until at least next year to try to prevent Trump from making another appointment.

    The joy I get from watching the destruction derby of academics around the world is, well, immeasurable.

    Inside Higher Ed:

    The introduction of quotas to get more women onto university recruitment committees in France has backfired and has actually led to far fewer female academics being hired, new research has revealed.

    A male backlash against the equity measures is the most likely reason for the decline in female recruitment, according to analysis by Pierre Deschamps, an economist at Sciences Po, in Paris.

    He investigated recruitment data from 455 hiring committees across three French universities in the years before and after the introduction of the requirement for recruitment committees to draw at least 40 percent of their membership from each gender.

    Deschamps’ modeling indicates that, had the quotas not been introduced, 38 percent more women would have been hired. “That’s enormous,” he said.

    Nor have the quotas yet encouraged any more women to apply for positions, according to “Gender Quotas in Hiring Committees: A Boon or a Bane for Women?” a working paper from Sciences Po’s Laboratory for Interdisciplinary Evaluation of Public Policies.

    “The reform has a large, significant and negative effect on the hiring of women,” it concludes.

    Word to the wise – it’s not the men’s fault. Women are much more catty and vicious when it come to hiring other women. I say that with 45 years of experience watching women hire and/or fire other women.

    Rush is going over the NY law on abortion.

    Evil doesnt’ begin to cover it. So far:

    Non-doctors can execute a violent surgical procedure on women (and babies)
    Abortion up to due date
    No protection for the baby if born alive
    Removes criminal charges for anyone who causes a baby to be aborted through violence to the mother; e.g., punching her in the stomach

    Satan is very pleased.

    Just curious ?

    When you say cot or caught, do you pronounce the verb syllable the same ?

    Cot as “aht” and Caught as “awt” ?

    Or do they both sound the same as in “hot” ?

    I’m pretty sure that some of you frequent the Power Line blog from time to time. Those guys are reasonable and make compelling arguments and comments on current events, etc. Anyway, they are pointing out that all these fairly recent leftie attacks on Catholics are setting the stage for Trump’s presumed nomination of Amy Barett to SCOTUS when they locate Ruth’s remains. The intend to attack her because of her religious beliefs, that simple. Anyway, if you don’t read Power Line frequently, you should. Here’s today’s tale about why the Catholics are being attacked.

    I am not alone and among a number of voices who began saying it back during the Kavanaugh hearings. The scam is being run on Amy Coney Barrett. It is, and has been, about assailing Catholicism since it is now permissible on the Left to hate Evangelicals, Catholics, Jews and all people of faith…

    Shannon, I got caught up in a website post and long comments section on American linguistics and history.

    They started talking about cot and caught and I never gave it a thought before. Some guys from Oklahoma were commenting about how they pronounced it the same and my reaction was WTF ? Oklahoma ???

    I say C-ah-T and C-auw-T just like I have all my life. I never realized there were so many variations and distortions across the country.

    I work with a guy from Rhode island. He’s lived here over 40 years and still can’t do Rs.

    Many years ago we all went to Dirty’s on Shepherd for happy hour. The waitress asked what he wanted to drink and he said “China Bark”. I then realized he uses the same number of Rs as everyone else, he just takes them from the right place and puts them in the wrong place.

    Went to bed early last night. So, here I am, up at 4AM, with nothing to do. Too cold and dark to go outside, plus there’s no telling what kind of animals are out there foraging. Not a store in town is open at this time of day. So, I’ll listen to the radio for a while and see what kind of mischief Trump is up to today. 32 degrees here as we speak. You all have a great day.
