Shout-out for all our grammar trolls!

Another tidbit of good news, from Dave Weigel:

When a headline informs readers that a “former South Carolina Republican Party” official has made a shocking statement, the answer is always Todd Kincannon. Briefly the executive director of the state party, a designation that is more than enough for HuffPost or Salon hate-reading, Kincannon keeps a hyperactive Twitter schedule… If a liberal site (or a cluster of liberal Twitterers) explodes with outrage, he did his job. “Politainment is the wave of the future,” said Kincannon during one Twitter carnival.

“Said,” past tense. After having one account shut down, and after launching a new one this year, Kincannon built up a fan base of more than 50,000 followers with jokes about having Bowe Bergdahl assassinated (the next attorney general would likely be “a friend” who could pull it off) and with gut-busters like “Why do third world countries let athletes do anything besides mine blood diamonds? Your children are starving and my wife needs earrings!” Then he went silent. In a widely circulated letter to people who’d ordered his new e-book, Kincannon explained that Christmas would not come this year. “In early June, just as I was preparing to send out my book,” he said, “I received an unexpected notice from the South Carolina Office of Disciplinary Counsel that the investigation was going to continue because of comments I made on Twitter regarding a left wing political activist named Col. Morris Davis, a frequent guest on MSNBC.”…

Because I’m a devout Cynic, I’m thinking this translates “Kincannon’s trolling just isn’t getting him enough notice to make it worth the trouble of mining those sub-Stormfront hate sites for his funnies any more, so he’s hoping to go out in a blaze of possibly-profitable public martyrdom”, but that’s just me.

Apart from low humor, what’s on the agenda for the evening?

    It always amuses me that people who push for English being “the” language are woefully ignorant of its rules.

    Still celebrating San Diego City Council’s passing a minimum wage ordinance — phasing up to $11.50/hr. in Jan. 2017, with COL indexing to begin in Jan. 2019. AND five mandated paid sick days a year. It was Cognitive Dissonance Hour Doubleplus, listening to hotel flacks and restaurant owners arguing against both a wage increase and mandated sick days, while insisting that they “love” their staffs.

    One of the first speakers in favor was local hero Bill Walton. He went over his allotted time, after which Council president Todd Gloria announced that if there were no other NBA superstars scheduled to speak, everyone else would be cut off when their time was up. Walton, who had returned to his seat — and who stayed for the entire three-hour meeting, and hung around to join the celebration afterward — rose and said, “I beg forgiveness.” Brought down the house. Class act. He absolutely did not have to be there, yet there he was.

    @burnspbesq: I wouldn’t call Bill Walton a whack job; he’s just a little … out there. (Folk wisdom has it that attending more than 600 Grateful Dead concerts can have that effect.) He also, by his own admission, downed way too many painkillers over the years as a way of dealing with his various near-crippling injuries.

    Anyway, he spent his entire Monday evening downtown, at a City Council meeting, to show support for low-wage workers. To me, that’s a local hero.

    @burnspbesq: We had a local attorney here who had an audit of his trust account (having gone through it it is a bit like being on death row just waiting for the gas chamber), they told him to do a reconciliation about two months after the audit. He refused to do it. They wrote him and told him to do it again. He refused to do it. They wrote to him again and he completely ignored the letter. He was eventually disbarred, not because he had done anything wrong but because he was too damn lazy to submit a reconciliation of his trust account. It was so bloody stupid. He is now working for a furniture store and working part time for a local attorney as a high priced paralegal. There was never any evidence that there was anything wrong with his trust account, but he simply refused to do a comprehensive reconciliation with the bar.

    The last time I was audited I was a penny out and I felt like Bruno De Mali was about to walk me off to the gallows. You don’t fuck with State Bars.

    A 79-year-old retired minister in Texas killed himself via self-immolation in an effort to protest what he described as lingering racism in his childhood home — his final effort in a career marked by social activism, the Dallas Morning News reported.

    Moore had intended his act to be a grand but selfless gesture in the manner of Buddhist monks who have done the same before him.

    … He expected that his self-immolation would make national news and hoped his message of social justice would be broadcast along with his funeral.

    Moore had intended his act to be a grand but selfless gesture in the manner of Buddhist monks who have done the same before him. But his final act drew little notice. A report in the Grand Saline Sun described him as an elderly man who seemed troubled. An article in the Tyler Morning Telegraph asked if he was a “madman or a martyr.”

    Read my first solid sci-fi novel in years; Ann Leckie’s Ancillary Justice, and loved it. The basic story is about a former hive mind style AI that controls a massive war ship and hundreds of “ancillary” bodies. Essentially formerly free people who are basically recycled into bodies for the ship to utilize. Many of the view points in the book are from both the ship in orbit and what it sees and hears through it’s many bodies. I was disappointed I was done, but it turns out there are two more books coming. Now I have to figure out what to read next. Basic breakdown from Leckie’s site below:

    On a remote, icy planet, the soldier known as Breq is drawing closer to completing her quest.

    Breq is both more than she seems and less than she was. Years ago, she was Justice of Toren–a colossal starship with an artificial intelligence linking thousands of corpse soldiers in the service of the Radch, the empire that conquered the galaxy.

    An act of treachery has ripped it all away, leaving her with only one fragile human body. And only one purpose–to revenge herself on Anaander Mianaai, many-bodied, near-immortal Lord of the Radch.

    @Hal: Saw on another site a few days ago that this book was a loser. Must be one of those love-it-or-hate-it things.

    If you like hive minds, try “The Bees,” by Somebody Paul, which I enjoyed even though there is a huge glaring mistake–oddly so, since the author did seem to know something about bees. If you can get past an egg-laying worker laying a female egg, it’s pretty good.

    If I remember right, there are some ant species where workers can lay female eggs, but Apis mellifera, your common honeybee, can only produce females from fertilized eggs, which leaves egg-laying workers cranking out largely useless males. That’s why beekeepers, and for that matter the bees themselves, get very upset when too many workers start laying–they’ll drone you right out of business.( Any hive will have a few workers laying eggs, which the bees will destroy themselves, but sometimes, even with a good healthy queen, egg-laying among workers spreads like a deadly virus.)

    We also had a couple of successful ballot initiatives that helped to make the state more governable. The first made it possible to pass a budget with a simple majority rather than a 2/3 majority, which meant the Democrats no longer have to make bad bargains with a few Republicans just to get a budget passed. The other temporarily raised taxes enough to make the state solvent again.

    My GP ordered so many tests he set a new hospital record for most blood drawn as an outpatient. While I’m waiting for the results, (I have an appointment three weeks hence,) I have embarked on a new treatment regimen.

    It was invented by a neurosurgeon, for the treatment of disordered hormone regulation. (Endocrinologists think the adrenal glands have only three settings: too much, not enough, and normal. If so, it is the only organ in the body with such rigidly defined capabilities.)

    It involves a giant smoothie breakfast, serious hydration, lots of seafood, and some Defcon One level sleep hygiene; sleep mask, f.lux program on the laptop, and the only illumination after sunset is my Himalayan salt lamp. (I won it at a benefit, but I admit I love it irrationally.) I sit outside at lunch (weather permitting) so the sunlight resets my circadian clock.

    So far, three benefits: it makes me take lunch, so I get a stress break; I do feel a little bit better after only a week and a half of this regimen; and I have developed a mad love of sardines in mustard sauce.

    @Omnes Omnibus (the first of his name): You’re missing the point. In English we created an artificial rule that pronouns dance around in the nominative case, but this is not in fact the case, hasn’t been true for hundreds of years. Yet a great deal of time is spent in school and after policing vernacular pronoun usage. When was the last time you said “Roger and I” out loud?

    German has rules. Yes, German is both inflected and has a pretty rigid syntax, one which varies just enough from English to give English-speakers headaches. But to Germans it isn’t a bunch of silly rules–the word order is written exactly as they speak! It’s completely transparent, as is the spelling system. Aside from dialectical variants, accents, and contractions, and there are semi-formal ways to write all of these if necessary.

    English has rules of “correctness” that were drawn from the practice of studying Latin in English boarding schools and have little connection to vernacular English in the last 500 years.

    French tends to confine such preening to spelling, preserving word origins in amber to the frustration of millions of French teenagers. English is douchey about spelling, punctuation, AND grammar.

    It’s worse if you take English as a second language. Many programs attempt to teach both “proper” and at the same time somewhat antiquated English which means that along with an accent you’re guaranteed to be completely unintelligible to any English-speakers you may meet. The best ESL people I’ve met learned their English from movies and tv shows. You kind of have to.
