The trailer below is all there is, all that there is planned to be, created as an art project by one guy. Compare to the dreck pumped out by Hollywood.
A similarly-themed short film the guy produced a littler earlier. Maybe cosmic horror…maybe shrooms.
I saw a few of these weeks/months ago at local WalMarts and Targets and the like and didn’t buy them because… well, why would I? Sigh…
A masterclass in elocution by White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki:
I gotta admit this was the best laugh I had all day.
Difficulty: stuff’s in Finland.
I was directed to an online auction of space replicas. The first items were things like 1/72 scale Space Shuttles and 1/72 scale Saturn V’s and Atlases and Redstones… nice enough, but nothing out of the ordinary.
BUT THEN…
And…
And…
And…
And…
And…
And not last and certainly not least:
Gimme gimme gimme gimme…
Where would I put a 1/10 scale Saturn V if I had one? I have no friggen’ clue.
The auction appears to be a bankruptcy auction:
Online bankruptcy auction under the authority of trustee Mr. M.W. Schüller of Lexington Advocaten in Hoofddorp concerning the inventory originating from the bankruptcy of John Nurnimen Events B.V. at Schiphol. The goods are located in Finland.
“John Nurnimen Events” still has a functioning website, but was declared bankrupt in the Netherlands, so I’m a bit confounded as to what’s going on here. On one hand I’m saddened that such a collection of awesomeness was apparently not a profitable enterprise; on the other hand… it’s Finland. I’m unclear that that would be the best place for such a thing. The specific website for the “NASA – A Human Adventure” traveling exhibition is offline, though it’s archived.
Opening bids on all these things are 100 Euro each. I have no idea what they’ll go for, though I imagine shipping costs could be a bit spendy.
A followup to yesterday:
The environment will often talk to you and give you hints, subtle or otherwise, that something explosive is coming. (Feel free to interpret this in a political context). In this case, the buildup of a static charge on a mountain can often be heard in the rocks just before a lightning strike. Disregard at your peril.
It is time for the media to REEEEEEE at full volume:
Apparently it’s only just kinda sorta working, and then in a very limited way on a fraction of the platforms. But one presumes that it will get up to speed as time goes by. You don’t get assassinated and then get right up and run a marathon, after all.
I found this hyperventilatory piece particularly entertaining:
A “radical re-write of the Constitution?” Whatever could this extremist want?
Meckler went on to found Citizens for Self-Governance (CSG), now the Convention of States Foundation, a right-wing nonprofit that manages the Convention of States project, with the Koch-connected Eric O’Keefe. Convention of States (COS) wants to hold an Article V convention of the states to amend the U.S. constitution to severely restrict the power of the federal government.
Oh, Noes! Restricting the power of the federal government? What a shocking and wholly unAmerican concept!!!
According to the COS website, they want to amend the Constitution to:
Regardless of how likely you think they are to get their way, their goals are wholly reasonable to at least discus.
If you find yourself in this situation… find yourself *away* from it lickety damn split. You’re asking to be used as a lightning rod.

The Great Reset summarized:
The Great Reset is such an obviously doom-filled notion that you have to wonder why anyone would even bother trotting it out. If something like this was actually instituted, the inevitable result would be Eat The Rich and street corner guillotines. I can only see two explanations:
1: This is a world-class Trumpian troll. Perhaps the bajillionaires involved in the World Economic Forum did this as some sort of drunken bet just to see how many morons would sign up, or to see what kind of chaos could be created from the inevitable outrage.
2: Ideology. Only whackadoodle political or religious ideologies can make people who should know better actually think that planned, centralized economies are a good thing, that the wants and desires of entire populations can be scheduled in advance, that people will be satisfied with less, that people do not have self-interest or a desire to won their own stuff.
3: The ultimate reason why.
I hope these folks are doing ok, what with the pandemic and all:
That there is a labor of love. A pity it’s in the far off land of New York, under the dystopic sway of Tyrant Cuomo.
Perhaps the most important thing to take away from this era of separateness:
