U ncle Scott writes:   The other day Uncle's visiting Florida sister K1 signed up for a ... 5K put on by some pinko group here at NMU that saw her asking, "are you familiar with ... 'BIPOC'?", to the reply, "here's how I respond to that stuff" before a blinding eye-roll and summarized forty years' loathing of all identity politics/social "justice" claptrap.  She said the people in charge of the event ("about twenty people showed up" 🤣 ) were among the ruder folks she's had to deal with - big surprise, that: Uncle knows if he were an historical and cultural illiterate on a cheap power trip and with a huge chip on his shoulder, he'd be the very picture of beatific saintliness. In the thumbnail bio for one of the faculty at the local "BIPOC" retreat  that included the 5k, "a biculturally Black somatic decolonial Black [ love that ...

S p rechen of Goethe , have a look at the viral 2017 letter to the FT by Cambridge Germanist Nicholas Boyle, the third volume of whose mammoth Goethe: The Poet and the Age , subtitled In the Shadow of Napoleon , covering 1803-1809 (the OUP listing for V3 mentions a fourth volume with no further info), is  due December 28, 2026: only twenty-three more years to go till Eckermann with the paragraph closing his Gespräche mit Goethe as he beholds the immortal G lying in resplendent state: The morning after Goethe's death, a deep desire seized me to look once again upon his earthly garment. His faithful servant, Frederic, opened for me the chamber in which he was laid out.  Stretched upon his back, he reposed as if asleep; profound peace and security reigned in the features of his sublimely noble countenance.

I was amused by this promo for JFK Grocery, Indian and in Jersey City, so named it seems for being on John F. Kennedy Blvd. I must have registered when I did some Christmas shopping with another New Jersey Indian grocer back in 2022. I hear they do clandestine deliveries - it's a secret service - by motorcade with drivers wearing Nehru jackets. No relation to the DC-based RFK, Jr. Grocery, with which the HHS commissary has a contract for grass-fed beef and raw whole milk. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: JFK Grocery < jfkgrocery2024@gmail.com > Date: Sat, Jul 25, 2026, 5:01 PM Subject: Don't miss it! 20+ items on deal 🔥 Ghee 33% off, Atta $16.99, free delivery $50+ To: JFK Grocery < jfkgrocery2024@gmail.com > JFK INDIAN GROCERY ...

... Smileactives tooth polish! I 've bitched for decades about the ageism rampant in our culture, an extension of the mindless cult of eternal youth in its belief that to be older is to be worn out, decrepit, dingy, unsexy (autocorrect: "unisex"), bigoted, uncool, you name it ...

The sick twisted nerve of those a-holes! I practically vomit every time they run that ad - so I am rather pleased to find that not only do I have company, but that their Trustpilot rating from users is a Poor 2.4 out of 5.0!
