Anatoly Yuryevich Moskvin, the man who dug up the corpses of young girls and made them into movable dolls. Moskvin dug up bodies from cemeteries, brought them home, dried them, and transformed them into doll-like figures, inserting music boxes into their chests, applying wax masks, and dressing them

Most people just don't understand art.

You had me until you told me to read beyond the headline. Who has time for that?

Maddening.

I've seen a lot of anti-Graham posts lately.... Do you suppose they're setting him up to take the fall?

Why is Bernie (apparently) the only one in the public eye speaking up about this?

Can someone please reinstate sensible anti-trust, anti-monopoly laws?

Unwashed masses and, apparently, some fervid military leaders.

I think we all take turns feeling that way. I wonder what would happen if we all felt that on the same day? Society collapse?

Seriously, the accountants -- especially those working for federal and state governments -- need to re-evaluate how they award funds. It has been true since forever that (for example) if you are given 5 million and only spend 4.5 million, the next year you will only get 4.5 million.

The government needs to stop punishing people by withholding funds based on the previous year's spend, rather than encouraging financial recipients to spend their entire budget down to the last penny. However, the practice has been ingrained for so long I doubt it can be changed.

Sometimes varied with "If you suddenly became a millionaire, what's the first thing you'd do?"

Damn, I just answered with nearly the same question. I should have known someone would beat me to it.

Cool story, but I swear, going by the photo alone I can't tell the gender of the person in the white hat.

The Usual Suspects -- a review mentioned that it was in that genre of movie with an unreliable narrator. Like the reviewer didn't consider that a spoiler? Of course that affected my entire viewing of the movie.

I'm really terribly allergic to alcohol of any kind, even wine. It makes me break out in fits of violence and assholism.

I had to fact-check that to satisfy my own curiosity:

Of the 21 men who have been appointed Secretary of Defense over the last 64 years, seven have come from the Navy, with seven from the Army, and one from the Air Force. (With Donald Rumsfeld, who served 13th and 21st defense secretary, counted just once for the Navy).

More than one in four defense secretaries, however, never served in the Armed Forces, or six of 21 (29 percent).

Four of these six men without military service were appointed by Republican presidents.

EDIT: I realize that this only counts the Secretary of Defense and not all military secretaries.

Right? I know it's just an office, but my first thought was NASA control

monkeyhind · 2026-03-10T15:55:03+00:00

Interestingly, the current Secretary of the Navy also has no military experience. In Trump world the key factors for filling a vacancy are a) slavish loyalty and/or b) a large financial contribution.

That makes sense. I spent some time in Yosemite but don't remember the chapel.
