    “We are in the midst of a 9-1-1 emergency in our democracy—and I’ve seen it up close.”

    I agree with the great Senator Warnock from the Great State of Georgia.

    But, as someone here says often (Kay? Betty?): Don’t tell me; show me.  If we’re in such an emergency, what is leadership doing about it? As Adam has noted, why are Senate Dems still honoring Republican blue slips? Or, why isn’t there any real discussion of fixing the the SC within the probable lifetimes of our grandchildren? I mean, my gods, why is DeJoy still heading up the USPS? (I know, that last one is almost small ball at this point…)

    Maybe we’re not in a 9-1-1 emergency…

    More storms. Lost power again early this AM… 4 times and counting. Never for more than 5 or 10 seconds, just long enough to make me have to reset all the clocks.

    Blech.

    And to top it all off, our land line telephone which has been dead to us for over a month (with the exception of one 24 hour period) has been ringing off the hook with every other lightening strike.

    Double Blech.

    And I can’t get a cell signal here. If I need to talk to someone I have to drive 6 miles and park underneath a cell tower. If anybody needs to talk to me, they have to drive here.

    I posted this piece yesterday but it was in a dead thread. Country Music’s Culture Wars and the Remaking of Nashville was really interesting, and it’s nice to see so many artists who many of us deeply enjoy are on the right side of politics.

    This was the election to replace the Republican who beat Jodi Habush Sinykin for the open State Senate seat. Unsurprisingly, the seat is VERY gerrymandered.

    Grafton Town (R+27)
    Grafton Village (D+ 3 votes, D+0.1)
    Mequon City (D+3)
    Menomonee Falls Village (D+ 9 votes, D+0.4)
    Germantown Town (D+ 3 votes D+6)

    I wonder this too. I thought the last thing I heard was that there were now enough Democratic votes on the Board of Governors to vote him out. But it seems to me that was at least a year ago. Since then … ?

    When that happened to us, it was a transformer that had been hit by lightning.  (But then the ruined transformer went up in flames, so the fire department soon showed up, followed by the electrical company worker… in the middle of a hurricane-related downpour.)

    I was given to understand that ‘blown transformers’ are rather more dangerous than just random ‘lost power’ — don’t know if this is universally true, but you might want to communicate the ‘blue light / explosion’ part to whatever drone answers your local power-outage emergency line?

    Freshly found fun fillip. The closing paragraph of an article from 1872 (.pdf file) tickled my fancy.

    By the addition of these two animals to the Menagerie the Zoological Society have now been able to exhibit side by side specimen of four (out the the six certainly known) living species of Rhinoceros—a wonderful advance when we consider that a very few years ago the Indian Rhinoceros unicornis was alone known in Europe in a living state. The two species remaining to be obtained are the Javan Rhinoceros (Rhinoceros sondaicus), a smaller representative of the One-horned Indian, and the White Rhinoceros of Africa (Rhinoceros simus). It need hardly be added that any correspondents of NATURE who may be able to assist in supplying these desiderata will not only be conferring a benefit of science, but will be liberally dealt with by the Council of the Society.

    In today’s NYT, Thomas Edsall has a good roundup of recent research into the increasing polarization “calcification” (described as ‘polarization-plus‘) of our politics.

    (Here’s a gift link). It’s called Gut-Level Hatred Is Consuming Our Politics

    Divisions between Democrats and Republicans have expanded far beyond the traditional fault lines based on race, education, gender, the urban-rural divide and economic ideology.
    Polarization now encompasses sharp disagreements over the significance of patriotism and nationalism as well as a fundamental split between those seeking to restore perceived past glories and those who embrace the future.Democrats are determined not only to block any drive to restore the America of 1963 — one year before passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act — but also to press the liberal agenda forward.

    Um, more like ‘press to restore people’s basic rights’, but whatever.

    Toward the end of the 20th century, Republicans moved rightward at a faster pace than Democrats moved leftward. In recent decades, however, Democrats have accelerated their shift toward more liberal positions while Republican movement to the right has slowed, in part because the party had reached the outer boundaries of conservatism.

    Boy howdy, that’s one way to put it!  LOL

    Seriously though: yes, we have shifted left and are now a center-left party instead of centrist mush.  The GOP has jumped off the right side of the boat and is swimming in its own deep ocean of insanity.  But I digress…

    There is a discussion of what one of the researchers call “anti-antiracism” (hmm, is there a simpler name for this, perhaps?) but there is a little bit of a distinction there that’s interesting: anti-antiracism helps the overt racists pull in quieter sympathizers by constantly, loudly, and negatively portraying the efforts of the antiracists while glossing over the efforts of the racists.  ie, what Fox does on a daily hourly by-the-minute basis.  That’s why it’s important to ignore the anti-antiracists and keep pointing out what the racists are up to.

    And finally, there’s one section that notes recent research by some Irish psychologists on how quickly and accurately people pick up on partisan signals.

    The authors demonstrate not only how ingrained polarization has become, but also how attuned voters have become to signals of partisanship and how adept they now are at using cues to determine whether a stranger is a Democrat or Republican.
    “Learning a single attitude (e.g., one’s standpoint toward abortion rights),” they write, “allows people to estimate an interlocutor’s partisan identity with striking accuracy. Additionally, we show that people not only use attitudes to categorize others as in-group and out-group members, but also to evaluate a person more or less favorably.”
    The three conducted survey experiments testing whether Americans could determine the partisanship of people who agreed or disagreed with any one of the following eight statements:

    (you can probably guess what the eight statements involved, right?  abortion rights, guns, welfare, etc)

    The results?
    “Participants were able to categorize a person as Democrat or Republican based on a single attitude with remarkable accuracy (reflected by a correlation index of r = .90).”

    I feel like the Rs are the one who are better at pulling people in based on a single issue, but maybe not.  Thoughts?

    With vehicle lanes on the Kerch Bridge damaged by a recent mishap involving a Ukrainian sea drone, Russian media have published helpful pointers for tourists returning from Crimea over the northerly overland route. Some excerpts:

    2. Refuel your car and withdraw cash [Note: bandits and soldiers always accept cash!]. Buy plenty of drinking water.

    6. On the way you will meet military checkpoints. Do everything the servicemen say. Do not be rude or push your rights….

    8. A perfectly smooth road has been built from Crimea to the Rostov region.

    9. In Melitopol in the city center, you can have a delicious lunch and withdraw cash [see note at 2].

    10. Your way lies through Melitopol…it is a 400km, 5 or 6 hour drive.

    13. Do not drive at night.

    14. Insurance policies are not valid there.

    15. The road is safe, but be vigilant at all times.

    17. Medical assistance can be sought from military and police [see note at 2].

    18. Do not go into fields or forests….

    19. Be polite and calm. Everything is built on mutual respect and patience in the special military operation zone.

    @rikyrah:

    Good morning! If I recall, several weeks back when I was gathering info on surgery for my severe Astigmatism and early cataracts, you were interested in the different lenses and options I was looking into. I went with the “Vivity Lenses.” Had the right eye done Mon.

    Very, very pleased so far. Actually I am amazed. Go back to Albuquerque for the left eye today. Doc is setting up my vision for right eye dominant for distance. He was able to get out almost all of the Astigmatism in the laser surgery and with the lens. We are hoping that I will be back to mono vision (like I had with my Toric contact lenses before the Astigmatism and cataracts got so bad). Read with left eye with no glasses. Distance with my right eye. Worst case scenario, I will have to have Dollar Tree readers. If you want more info, please feel free to get my email from a front pager.

    My only complaint is the state of medical care in my newly adopted state of NM. The doctor who did my surgery is the only doctor in the entire state that does it. I was spoiled in St. Louis with excellent medical care and access. I should have done this before I moved. Would have been less $ out of pocket. At least 12-18 surgeons who do it there.

    @UncleEbeneezer: So….. that is why I think Ducey is getting out of politics, for a while at least. The Arizona GOP is still captured by Crazy Kelli Ward and MAGA and he won’t get their support.

    I have been really cautious about getting excited about Gallego’s odds in the Senate race. AZ is a bit of a weird animal….. Registered independents outnumber Dems by a lot. They don’t have a history of working-class union life. They’ve got a large LDS population. The Latino population is large and growing, but is much newer than in New Mexico. The cities are really suburban density and have historically voted that way. And in 2022, non-MAGA Republicans won their races. Lots of factors that make it far from a sure thing for Dems. Purple at best.

    I have been thinking that, at some point, the state GOP would figure out that Trump and MAGA (and Kari Lake and Blake Masters and their type) are bringing them down. A normal evil GOP candidate like Ducey (or Jeff Flake, FFS) has a very strong chance. Better than 50/50, I’d say. But they really are doing their level best to lose elections. Bodes well for Gallego. I’m getting a bit more bullish on his chances.
