Maybe discussed below, but there was a Spanish language version of Dracula filmed on the same sets directed by George Melford that is arguably superior in every way, esp. the performance by Lupita Tovar.

They shot this version at night and Browning used the rushes to copy Melford's technique, allegedly!

Ed Sheeran debuted a new song: "Head In The Sand (Wait, is this my arse?!)"

Four inches of rain and counting. We were able to do one trip around the square at cheese days including some curds and a beer before the rain started again.

The parade will probably be canceled. Every two years The parade is lead by a heard of brown Swiss cows. This year's theme was celebrating goat cheese. Figured there'd be some goats with the ladies at the front of the parade.

Hmm, turkey burgers with goat cheese . . .

My brother made them when I visited over Labor Day weekend. Tzatziki sauce was a great condiment for it.

Always Be Ithacating's avatar

Tzatziki sauce with any grilled protein is the best.

A moist and cheesy time was had by all!

Uhm ... assault. I'm not a 100% PETA fan, but they do place themselves into situations well for their protests. I mean even Ivankaka can't get an invite to NY Fashion Week runway shows!

He crossed the line to battery when he laid hands on people. "I have made the difficult decision to step down as CEO and president" [after committing assault and battery on two people. On camera.]

Hops: grrr mad's avatar

Agreed. PETA can be their own worst enemy at times, but I strongly support the general cause, although I'm not familiar with the wool issue. Animals are not inanimate objects to be endlessly exploited. And fuck Steven Kolb in particular.

I saw a movie called The Show of Shows with vintage circus footage that illustrates how far we've come in respect to cruelty to animals, it's hard to watch.

The kitty I mentioned yesterday that I met in the park was in the same place today. First I put down some dry food, she came out of the bushes and started eating. Then I dumped out a can of wet food which she ate all of, then meowed at me for more wet food! This is a cat who knows people. She did return to the dry after realizing no more wet food was coming. Today at noon is a cross country race that is looping around the park, right past kitty's favorite spot. She will hide in the bushes. But I think maybe I can get her to trust me. Hopefully all the noisy people today won't scare her away. We are scheduled for thunderstorms at race time so that might chill the ruckus down. Video from yesterday, https://substack.com/@ziggywiggy/note/c-341118732?utm_source=notes-share-action&r=2knfuc

I am leaning towards calling her Sadie, which I know I shouldn't do, don't name them, but I am a sucker for animals in need. I hope to get this kitty out of the park and somewhere safe, maybe with me, but at least get her spayed and find her home somewhere.

The Cat Distribution System has scored yet again.

Hope she can join your household! Definitely get her checked out by a vet (who can also check if she is chipped).

"President Trump said Sunday that the massive arch he wants to build between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery would become a “top grade military complex” able to host drones and snipers while storing ammunition."

.

Well gee, that's different then! I'm convinced!!! An airbnb for drones and snipers! Fucking moron.

excellent! nobody will ever know where we hid all the stuff!

Every monument he builds to himself will need to have built-in self-protection. They won't remain standing unscathed otherwise.

More than likely, they'll just be shitty construction and fall down.

I rolled my eyes so far they're stuck in the back of my head.

Hi everybody. Previously I recommended the TV series Ride or Die here. Unfortunately Amazon cancelled the show today even though it was a ratings hit this summer. A Deadine article says it attracted older women, so Amazon didn’t want it. 😡 https://deadline.com/2026/09/ride-or-die-canceled-prime-video-shopped-1237108506/ I hope someone else buys it

Opalescent Riddles's avatar

Because no older women ever buy anything on Amazon.

Cress's avatar

That’s the crazy part. The article says that women already subscribe to Amazon for shopping. They wanted the show to attract new, different subscribers.

Opalescent Riddles's avatar

Because no other show could attract new, different subscribers, and nobody ever cancelled a subscription in disgust after their favorite show was cancelled.

OMFG! Just when I thought the NYT was back to rejoin humanity (just kidding) … their Sunday crossword is using maths! No-so-basic maths, no less. The end is upon us.

Good morning … even if it’s our last.

Stanta Knows's avatar

38:58. The math was simple but tricky to get at first. The one that gave it to me was "Beatles classic with the lyric "Will you still need me / Will you still feed me"

A Tad Impatient To 86 47's avatar

Hmm. Yeah, I was trying to figure out ^7. Um, Dracula was really old? I mean, nothing is beyond reason on Wonkette. ;-)

Opalescent Riddles's avatar

I had to edit my initial response of 2^7 because I momentarily confused the number of combinations of 7 bits (2^7=128) with the value of the most significant bit in a 7-bit system (2^6=64), where the least significant bit is 2^0=1.

A Tad Impatient To 86 47's avatar

Any number … to the zero … is …

Oh right. I remember that from about 60 (thousand?) years ago. Sheesh.

Opalescent Riddles's avatar

The loneliest number that you'll ever do.

Is zero not a number? Because zero to the zero is even lonelier.

A Tad Impatient To 86 47's avatar

LOL. Is that still one? Math geeks, twalk among yourselves.

The Wanderer's avatar

Hmm . . . Cleveland @ Tampa, or Minnesota @ Chicago for the afternoon sportsball.

Fuck Tampa, I'll watch the Vikings and Bears go berserksgangr on each other.

RocktonSam's avatar

Chicago has a lot of rain to deal with.

That shitty Soilder Field sod is going to take a beating.

The Wanderer's avatar

Looking forward to it.

Allegedly he "rushed back to D.C." from "huddling with advisors" because "action is immanent", except his advisors were the golfer Gary Player, some other golfer and his model girlfriend, so, that's comforting. And look, it's Sunday, time for Market Manip™

“The president described the current choices on the table as 'wiping Iran out, letting them rot economically, or making a deal.’ He added, 'my question is, if and when do I blow the entire nation up, they better behave.'” Austin Powers would like a word...

Iran has an offer on the table. It is not what Donnie wants. However, maybe someone could get to the Diaper Genie® and convince her to convince him? Tell her it's the only way to save her one, true love or something?

Bela barely managed to avoid the actor's worst nightmare of being type cast in Hollywood.

But he never overcame his burden of being bite cast.

I've seen him in other roles. He absolutely deserved to be typecast.

Fun with local news on YT- Arkansas peanut farmers in trouble as a major warehouse lost its required federal bond due to money problems. Ooops. Peanut farmers are required by state

law to use bonded facilities for storage.

RocktonSam's avatar

Peanut farmers have been hit pretty hard lately. Mostly dry weather.

They say you'll never see a farmer in a casino.

With their job it's a gamble everyday.

We really need those 'bots in front of the news. Like Alien Supershow.
