The Nation-State of California, the world’s fifth or sixth largest economy (depending on who’s talking and what week it is), is suing some of the biggest players in the oil industry for damages caused by climate change, arguing that Big Oil knew for decades that burning fossil fuels would have catastrophic effects on the planet’s climate, but that the industry conducted a “decades-long campaign of deception” to protect its profits, causing tens of billions of damage in California alone. This could be HUGE.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta filed the suit Friday in state court in Sacramento, against oil giants Exxon Mobil, Shell, Chevron (which is headquartered in California), ConocoPhillips, and the oil industry trade group, the American Petroleum Institute (API), that oily hive of scum and villainy.

Famous circus clown Emmett Kelly tries to hit an apple held by Brooklyn Dodger president Walter O’Malley with a loaf of Italian bread. They were at the New York Press Photographers’ Association dinner at Mama Leone’s restaurant on January 28, 1957. O’Malley announced that he had signed Kelly to “ease the tension at Ebbets Field.” (Rumors of desertion to LA?) Kelly had been with the Ringling Brothers & Barnum and Bailey Circus for 36 years before retiring the previous spring due to a union dispute.

✨Meet the Characters - Weisse Rose✨

Diana Horváth

Along with Marty, comes the Daughter of Ares, Diana. She's going to be doing the most ~nazifascist-punching~ of the group (I think we can notice that).

Again, some character sheet things and then some notes I kept on her!

One thing I want to point about her design is: Diana is supposed to be conventionally beautiful, hence the Farrah Fawcett type of hair, but has no personality trait of a ~traditionally desirable~ woman. 10/10 intentional :)

Age: 29, going on 30

Height: 1.60 (5'2)

Astrological Sign: Aries (hence daughter of Ares)

Languages: Hungarian, Italian, French, German, English

Heavenly Virtue: Fiercely loyal, will defend her loved ones with her life if she has to

Hellish Sin: Anger Management Issues™ - doesn't know how to process difficult emotions, so everything comes out as anger. Plays drums like a beast, though

Current Occupation: Hostess at the same high-end hotel as Marty and freelance model

Now some initial notes that made the final cut, under the cut ;)

Conventionally beautiful, appearance somewhat based on Grace Kelly

The very opposite of a trad wife :)

Very rarely wears feminine clothes

Stands up for her beliefs - and her friends

10/10 the one who's always getting into fistfights

Vicious drummer

Short temper

Kind, soft-heart though. Not soft-hearted, but she has a soft-heart. Underneath a Bastille she built to protect it

Has a hard time connecting with people

Demisexual. Understands one night stands logically but doesn't indulge because "never found someone worth my time" (important for her "platonical hate" relationship with Wolffe)

Sees herself as the "bad guy" because that's what she has always been told she was

10/10 "born brilliant, born bad and a little bit mad"

Adopted Marty as her brother in her heart

Always tried to be perfect and follow the path her family made out for her in order to be loved and accepted

Always tried to be a feminine standard example woman as everyone wanted/expected - constantly feeling trapped

Found out she has a serious chronic illness and decided to live her life as much as she can until she can't anymore

Trust issues™

Cries when Marty treats her with kindness/hugs her they are made for each other

while I'm thinking about rust's motivations, I don't agree that rust is motivated by helping people, which is the common sentiment I see when people talk about his characterization. I don't think he's devoid of feeling about it or sees it as inconsequential or anything, but even I think the line "bad men keep other bad men from the door" gets taken a little too seriously, when it's rust's denial shielding him from his reality, but also independent of reality; what he observes and believes. throughout the story we very much see very much see that they do not, in fact, keep bad men from the door. marty was the bad man in his wife and daughter's lives.

when he says things like "those kids will be in that room again" and "when I think of my daughter, what she was spared" and "you see in that last moment they invited it" along with the visit to the girl he did save in '92, kelly, it's pretty obvious he doesn't think finding the murderers or the victims saves anyone. when he says "we have a debt" he believes that debt is to those who suffered at the hands of these men, because by not catching and stopping him they've damned these women and children to infinite lifetimes that cycle them through violence at the hands of these men over and over. it's not that they help; it's that they've failed, and this is recompense, and in this way I think the statement "we keep other bad men from the door" is denial, it's his own capacity for his illusion rearing, and this time period for rust and his monologues are especially rife with this illusion. older rust being interviewed gives a very different view, that his daughter was "spared" because her death was random and immediate. "to go out as a happy child." he specifically says that growing up is too late because you've already been denied mercy, already keeled at the hands of all this degradation you'll live over and over again, but his daughter's circle is just joy and then a painless end before she can pay the price of living, particularly the price of living as a woman. his daughter is who's in mind when he sees how marie fontenot dies, and even then how kelly lives after her liberation. she's catatonic, living in an institution. the boy died in that room after months of abuse, that's where it ends for him, and restarts, so it can end there again and again.

this is a sidebar, but a detail we get is that the boy was reported missing and kelly wasn't. at the time she wasn't reported missing "yet", but then we see her living in an institution meaning she either had no family, her family didn't home her, her family couldn't or wouldn't take care her of her in her state.

the state she's in reminds me of an article from 2017ish I think, where a woman, after a traumatic event, became extremely sick and catatonic, and a researcher saw her in his residency and then after a decade or so when he's a doctor he hears she's still there and recalls she's the sickest person he'd ever seen in his career. he works with her and turns out the traumatic event triggered a severe case of lupus and her immune system was attacking her nerves and brainstem. after decades of living like this she starts to "wake up" under strenuous and experimental immunosuppresant treatment. true detective makes this connection between disease and the mysterious machinations that produce horror, evil, sin, god or whatever framework any given character uses to describe it. characters illustrate exploitation and abuse in the same breath as disease and medicine. dora lang's mother saying "why would a father not bathe his child?" moments before a migraine that makes her wail, one that came from the chemicals she inhaled at work, which also wrecked her hands. marie fontenot's uncle having a "cerebral event", a series of strokes. dora lang's addiction making her an easy target, "chum in the water". hell, even the man at the revival tent, "they gave me bad medicine. I paid for that." and kelly's state after being trapped in that trailer being catatonia, looking a lot like many people with severe autoimmune reactions. the natural world is, in a sense, chum in the water for whatever cosmic horror lays out there. on the larger scale, the various hurricanes are an ultra present detail of the story at any point in time. the hurricane's make it easier for the men their chasing to pick off victims and dump them, making them appear like victims of flooding or exposure. the hurricanes are the excuse tuttle immediately starts setting up when rust probes at the christian schools. it keeps erasing these people, erasing their records in damage, killing them or covering their killings. sometimes I'm reminded of that phrase, "when there's violence in your home, it seems even the house takes sides" how the natural -- or visible -- world we live in feel like it sides with violence we experience at the hands of both our own, and at the hands of this cosmic, spiritual bigness we struggle to wrap our minds around. in twin peaks fire walk with me, laura palmer looks at the ceiling fan at the top of her stairs and it seems like this three eyed creature watching from up there. and when it spins she knows she'll be assaulted that night. the house takes sides. a hurricane takes credit for the killing the women these men hunted.

I've completely left the topic, but in terms of rust's characterization, he wants to see this cosmic animal that connects the natural world, and he feels specifically indebted to those trapped in the cycle that will lead them always back to men who will abuse and kill them every time. for dora lang it starts with her father, then her husband marks her for death by sharing pictures of her naked to the cellmate he knew was dangerous. beth runs from her uncle. kelly, unreachable, can't remember "the giant" without living it again. he doesn't believe he's helping them at all, he believes it's his debt. he doesn't think he helped kelly, likely the only person he could be argued to have helped. while true detective is tonally unlike the average detective show in many ways, I think it's intentional that there is no active victim to save in the end. the network tv detective show, or the copaganda shows of the past two decades, like criminal minds and whatever else usually have a current victim to save, always at the last minute. in true detective, this is kelly. but in true detective we don't see her until it's already over, and it was not a show down, it was clumsy, stupid, and abject. and they never knew she was there, she wasn't even reported missing. she's rescued in '92 because we need visit her ten years later to understand how she couldn't be saved from what already happened. there is no "happy ending" because she can neither unlive this, nor has it ended. when they catch her captor in 2012, he's alone in a maze, no one to rush to safety except for rust himself.

and they don't "get their guy" either. it's pretty clear that the men they're allowed to stop are only the ones on the fringes: impoverished, felons, addicts, at the edge of society. the men in power are also guilty of these murders -- the mayor, his family, the head of an evangelical institution, clergy -- but they're not allowed to be stopped. so rust and marty are allowed to catch white trash ledoux and the abominable offshoot incestuous childress, but not the men within their society that do the same things as them. so can they really help anyone when they're only allowed to go after avatars of this violence, and not the ones responsible for a legacy of violence?

by the end his thinking has been changed by his new belief that death is the end -- he finally is lurched into that great cosmic blackness, and recognizes it; calls it daughter, father. as he dies he feels an entirely different existence that will allow him to release into nothingness, and he comes away no longer believing that all these people will be reborn into the same life, doomed to go through all the suffering of life again and again. he welcomes it. in short, he believes those who have died found peace, and this allows him to accept the possibility that all is not lost. we're trapped into a cycle of violence, exploitation, degradation, and disease as long as we live, but living does have it's night; in the end, everything will be undone.

Cabinet Endorsements

One thing that's flown a bit below the radar in this election is that former cabinet members haven't been acting like they usually do. Normally, former cabinet members will automatically endorse their former boss for re-election, but Trump's have not been doing that.

This is of particular interest because, while we, the voters, get to see the President give speeches and the like, we don't actually work with him. Presumably a cabinet member is someone who agrees with the president and who the president trusts and who gets to work closely with the president, so their opinion of the president is an important benchmark.

With that in mind, let's take a look at the 44 former cabinet members of the Donald J. Trump administration and the 2 former cabinet members of the Joseph R. Biden administration. I'll put an (E) next to the ones that have endorsed their former boss, an (H) next to the ones who haven't yet, and an (R) next to the ones who have outright refused to do so.

Cabinet Members of the Donald J. Trump Administration (R) VP Mike Pence (H) Sec. State Rex Tillerson (H) Sec. State/CIA Director Mike Pompeo (E) Sec. Treasury Steven Mnuchin (R) Sec. Defense James Mattis (H) Sec. Defense Patrick Shanahan (nominated) (R) Sec. Defense Mark Esper (H) Sec. Defense Christopher Miller (acting) (H) AG Jeff Sessions (R) AG William Barr (H) AG Jeffrey Rosen (acting) (E) Sec. Interior Ryan Zinke (H) Sec. Interior David Bernhardt (H) Sec. Agriculture Sonny Perdue (E) Sec. Commerce Wilbur Ross (H) Sec. Labor Andrew Puzder (nominated) (H) Sec. Labor Alex Acosta (H) Sec. Labor Eugene Scalia (H) Sec. HHS Tom Price (H) Sec. HHS Alex Azar (H) Sec. HHS Pete Gaynor (E) Sec. HUD Ben Carson (H) Sec. Transporation Elaine Chao (H) Sec. Transportation Steven Bradbury (acting) (H) Sec. Energy Rick Perry (H) Sec. Energy Dan Brouillette (H) Sec. Education Besty DeVos (H) Sec. Education Mick Zais (acting) (H) Sec. VA David Shulkin (E) Sec. VA Ronny Jackson (nominated) (H) Sec. VA Robert Wilkie (R) Sec. HS John Kelly (H) Sec. HS Kirstjen Nielsen (H) Sec. HS Chad Wolf (nominated) (E) US Trade Rep. Robert Lighthizer (H) DNI Dan Coats (H) DNI John Ratcliffe (H) UN Ambassador Nikki Haley (H) OMB Directory Mick Mulvaney (E) OMB Director Russel Vought (H) CIA Director Gina Haspel (H) EPA Admin. Scott Pruitt (H) EPA Admin. Andrew Wheeler (H) SBA Admin. Linda McMahon (H) SBA Admin. Jovita Caranza

Cabinet Members of the Joseph R. Biden Administration (E) Sec. Labor Marty Walsh (E) OMB Director Neera Tanden (nominated) (H) Office of Science and Tech. Director Eric Lander

The first thing we notice, obviously, is that there are a whole lot more former Trump cabinet members. This is partially because Biden is still in office so his 23 current cabinet members are not counted (it'd be a huge surprise if they didn't endorse him and they probably wouldn't still be working for him if they didn't), but it's also because Trump had way above average turnover for cabinet officials, 19 in the first four years not including the 5 who resigned due to his handling of the 2020 election results (not included because Biden hasn't reached that point in his first term yet), while Biden has had far below average turnover, only 3 so far.

So a lot more people shuffling in and out of the Trump administration, but we also notice a ton more H's than E's there. Heck, there's almost as many R's among Trump's people as there are E's (5 to 7). Meanwhile, Biden's shooting 2 for 3 and the third one hasn't (at least not that I could find) ruled out endorsing him.

Keep in mind, endorsing the nominee of your party is pretty much the bare minimum that any party operative needs to do. Imagine if you applied for a job somewhere, the first question was "do you think this company should be in business", and you answered "no". You probably wouldn't be getting a job there. In other words, refusing to endorse has some big consequences for the people doing it, not just costing them a job in the potential next Republican presidency, but locking them out of the party entirely, and yet a good deal of the people who worked for Trump disliked working with him so much that they're doing it anyways.

As I said, this tends to fly below the radar because it's kind of a formulaic ritual; of course members of the President's party who are closely tied to him are going to endorse him for re-election! That's why you should pay attention now that most of the people who've worked with Trump aren't doing so. It says something, something big.

Secretary of State Allen Dulles selected the wrong flight plan for the May 1, 1960, overflight of Russia in a U-2. Ironically, the last flight of the SR 71 landed at Dulles Airport on March 6, 1990!

Allies During World War II: The Russians were on the same side as the United States, so we shared information. We gave them lend-lease early warning radar, but what we didn’t count on was the Russians improving upon it. It was frustrating to see that the Soviets could track our U-2s in the 50s and the 60s. Project Rainbow: It was a high-priority project to help lower the radar signature. One idea was painting the U-2s with iron-loaded paint to help with radar detection deflection. (After they were painted, they were called “dirty birds”. )Another idea was a piano wire along the fuselage to scatter radar tracking.

Kelly Johnson (the head skunk at the Skunk Works) had determined that the Soviets could shoot a U-2 down. They were working on borrowed time, as his prediction did come true on May 1, 1960. This was supposed to be the last planned flight over the Soviet Union by the U-2

Around 1959, Kelly started working on its replacement, which was the A-12. The replacement for the A-12 after the “nice girl” competition between the SR 71 and the A-12 was the SR 71.

Grand Slam was the name of one of the flight plans that Chief of Staff General Nathan Twining reviewed before the May 1 flight. He called the Secretary of State Allen Dulles to warn him the Soviets would know this plan.. as Marty Knutson flew it less than a month ago. Dullas went on to pick the Grand Slam flight plan with no changes. General Twinning was right; The Soviets were ready to shoot down the U-2 with this flight plan.

Francis Gary Powers was picked for this flight by the CIA because he was the pilot with the best navigation skills. The thought was that their defenses would be down on May 1; it is the Russians Mayday. Their May Day is somewhat like our Fourth of July. The Soviets were ready for Powers they launched 14 SA-2 missiles.

The U-2’s tail was blown off. Kelly Johnson often wondered if it was the new black box that he put on the U-2 tail with electrical countermeasures that possibly had the opposite effect Instead of jamming the airplane it brought attention to the airplane. Francis Gary Powers was hand-picked for the flight because he was a good pilot but because he was alive after the crash., Some people who worked for the Agency the CIA were very angry that he did not kill himself. That was an option, but it was not mandatory. Kelly Johnson heard Gary Powers's story about the shootdown of his U-2 and he believed him. So when he came back to the United States, he hired him to be a U-2 test pilot.
