Letting go is hard but anything worth doing is always hard. When you let go you free yourself from the burdens of what you were holding on to. Take it easy, man.

@Samsai I'll admit that I'm no expert on the Soviet Union so I appreciate your correction. I suppose at the very least Soviet Russia and Capitalist Russia would be blocking ProtonMail for very different reasons. Soviets were to defend against Capitalism, whereas Capitalist Russia is doing it to prevent people from evading #SurveilenceCapitalism. Hence why I feel Capitalist Russia is more appropriate for the reversal. As in, in Captialist America, Google searches you.

Melting Rot – Infatuation with Premeditation Review By SaundersWhen in skilled hands, death and grind go together like all the finest combinations, whether it’s peanut butter and chocolate, beer and pretzels, or good old mac and cheese. The tasty combo applies to the musical inclinations of Illinois wrecking crew Melting Rot, as they unleash their second LP and follow-up to 2021’s Blood Delusions debut. Admittedly unfamiliar before dredging this one up from the promo sump, the trio feature combined underground experience with various lesser-known acts, forming way back in 2017. Citing the likes of Regurgitate and Excruciating Terror as comparisons, and featuring a guest spot from Exhumed legend Matt Harvey, can these unheralded deathgrind loonies make a sizable impact in the ever-crowded realms of the underground?
Following a short sample, right off the bat, Melting Rot lay their gnarled cards on the table, unleashing a rugged, relentless frenzy of old school grind values and groovy, gnashing brutal death, complete with incomprehensible, uber low vox and occasional deeper variations or grindy highs. It’s a tight, violent, take-no-prisoners approach, done and dusted in a mere eighteen minutes. Melting Rot flip between d-beaten bursts and blasts of crusty grind, to thuggish brutal death depravity with raucous energy and tight musical chops. Revelling in the relative uncomplicated nature of their sound, Melting Rot draw influence from the likes of Exhumed, Carcass, and a more straightforward Benighted.
Sporting a robust, extra beefy production job, Infatuation with Premeditation boasts a killer guitar tone, cutting a nasty swathe of distortion and welcome oomph to the ample supply of meaty riffs and piledriving grooves littering the album. At their most potent, Melting Rot dish out gnarly examples of their bruising deathgrind attack. Barnstorming cuts like the viciously grinding, punkish throes and infectious riffs of “Human Pavement Splatter,” crunching grooves and ripping powerplays of “The Surgeon was Comatose,” and thrashing melodicism cutting through the otherwise blunt force savagery of “Aiming for Construction Workers” highlight Infatuation with Premeditation’s stronger writing. Not to be discounted, “Open Casket Vomit Spew” injects Necroticism-esque flair and crunch, while “Morbid Infatuation” adds buzzsawing Swedeath riffs into its punky grind skirmishes. It’s nasty, unsanitized stuff, refreshingly free from modern polish, ensuring the material retains its dirty, rusty edge.
There are no glaring weak links, just a handful of moments where the writing bleeds together slightly, leading to fleeting moments of faceless brutality. Meanwhile, the vocals are a mixed bag. The multi-pronged attack largely defaults to the predominant gurgling lows, while serviceable, they lack variation and are fairly one-dimensional and monotonous in delivery. When occasionally cut with the shattering highs and other lower growl variations, the vocal impact is more effective. Shifting the balance would have worked wonders. Otherwise, Infatuation with Premeditation ticks all the boxes for a rollicking good time for deathgrind fiends. The brevity leaves you wanting more, and while long-term mileage is debatable, overall, Melting Rot swing hard and largely nail the impact. The subtle dynamic shifts between their higher gears are well executed, while the album is fueled by relentless energy and filthy, bludgeoning riffs, packing a mean, headbanging punch.
Melting Rot delivered a punchy, efficient blast of deathgrind goodness on Infatuation with Premeditation, featuring a short, sharp collection of nuggety brawlers falling in the solid to very good bracket and hinting at potential greatness to come if Melting Rot continue to sharpen and hone their songwriting skills. As it stands, Infatuation with Premeditation is a strong 3.0, an entertaining platter and recommended listen for deathgrind enthusiasts who like their deathgrind extra riffy and their grooves bloody and beaten.

⇅ 📜 Some history-changing events or trends were easy to see as they started unfolding. Just consider the various actors and their real motives and objectives. 🤯
Democracies, imperfect as they are, had opportunities to react and either prevent or mitigate nefarious developments, or they could just choose to not care.
I saw through #putin when the assassinations of critics first started. (NB. he already had neoimperialist track record!)
I've watched #CCP's *actions* through the eyes of its victims while listening its manipulative win-win BS. (never in doubt)
I knew America's 'Iraq adventure' would, besides a few other things, destroy #USA's standing in *most* of the world... (the wild exhilaration of Chinese nationalists was the icing on that cake)
#trump? One of the easiest characters ever to see through... (which makes all that followed all the more shocking...!)
As a natural 'liberal democratic' friend of tolerant and secular Indian republic — always an ideal — I've watched the rise and rise of the intolerant hindu nationalist populism with concern and sadness.
💥 I didn't foresee the Gov't of #India assassinating a political (religious) opponent — a citizen of #Canada —on Canadian soil and then revelling in its ability to execute the deed and to taunt the elected leader of the 'target country'. With apparently most of India 80% Hindu population — including the opposition — celebrating this new-found audaciously extraterritorial muscularity. 🙋️ (me=fail)
June 18, 2023 — the day Hardeep Singh Nijjar was gunned down outside a Sikh gurdwara in Canada — may well mark brave new #Hindustan's coming-out party.
Now, I get the "why" without accepting the act's necessity. It's the "how", "where" and what followed that mark a new era. A hindu-nationalist India is *not* even interested in being full buddies with liberal democracies on a 'fundamental' level.
This actually exhaustively explains #Modi's solid attachment to the #CRIBS#BRICS alternative formula and Modi taking India into the "Shanghai Cooperation Organisation" (SCO) in 2015.
But just how far down the rabbit hole is the dominant Hindu electorate willing to follow, with "the greatest democracy's" closest allies consisting of a motley crew #AxisOfDespots whose sole unifying drive is "liberal democracy delenda est"?

Enjoy the Silence by #bottlecapmermaid
#MDZS #ficRec, #xuexiao, rated M, 2.3k words
In which Xue Yang gets a taste of his own medicine from a marvellously dispassionate Jin Guangyao, but still ends up in Yi City.
This is a fic I’ve been thinking about regularly for over five years now. The commitment to (or revelling in) the violence of the concept would have hooked me even without the follow-through on what happens afterwards.
Do read the tags, and be aware that there’s also finger injury at the start.

CW: just a bit of fun assassination movie review
Watched "The Hitman's Bodyguard" (2017) on Sunday and "The Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard " (2021) on Monday.
The 1st had a European Dictator (a "Belarussian" played by Gary Oldman) on trial (in ... Amsterdam ...) who was charged with various offences (moneylaundering, maybecheatingatgolf, massmurder).
The 2nd had a Greek crimeboss (played by Robert Rodriguez) carrying out a plan to cut a main European data cable.
So, no doubt very inspiring for some ...
Anyway, I enjoyed the almost 1950's madcap comedy whipsnap sharp dialogue but with cusses; Ryan does his thing, Samuel L does his better thing and Salma basically plays her DuskTillDawn role, Santánico Pandemonium, but times a thousand.
The series is like Bruce Willis' DieHard movies (infrastructure weaknesses) and a parody of the Tom Cruise MissionImpossible films (ridiculous ass-pulls but revelling in the ridiculousness of the ass-pulls even moreso than MI does).
Salma's "Sonia Kincaid" reminds me of the unreconstructed & post-reconstructed personality of Angelina DiGriz from the StainlessSteelRat book series (we never find out Angelina's real name but she takes Jim's surname on marriage).
Angelina is a megalonaniac psychopath with a murderous version of a Nihilistic personal philosophy). Psychopathy was a big thing in the 1950's post-WorldWarTwo era with the Nature vs Nurture debate being on the minds of intellectuals in the West.
Sonia is a conwoman (so like Jim & Angelina) but opposed to capitalists and crimebosses (so she's unlike Angelina but more like Jim in that respect (Jim likes scams and bank robberies).
She is quick to violence when others she cares about are in danger (or threatened). She bears grudges.
(Salma, of course, acts/works well with Robert Rodriguez.)Samuel L's "Darius Kincaid" reminded me of his role in "51st State" (the pharmaceutical genius Elmo McElroy). Despite having a surprising personal reason for "choosing" their lives (Elmo as chemist, Darius as a hitman), his characters drive the stories providing forward movement (and action) where exposition for other characters's emotional lives would stop the plot (Darius turns out to be the one responsible for most of the turmoil in the characters's lives).
Ryan's "Michael Bryce" is essentially a good man trying his hardest to be excellent in his job as a certificated licensed bodyguard. He then hits this patch (the movies) where he is constantly frustrated by his own desire and incompetence to achieve that recognition but also will push respectability (in others's eyes) away to maintain his ethical code. Michael is a combination of John Cusack's Martin Blank from Grosse Pointe Blank (for which we have to thank Lee Marvin in Point Blank (but not Mel Gibson in Payback)) and John Cleese's Basil Fawlty from FartyOwls.
There's a sequence in the 1st film where Michael & Darius are in a stolen car and Darius claims he needs to pee - it's at about 45mins in and is four minutes of low-action high-comedy with a tad of "of course that had to happen now".
I got a lot out of these films, but there was also something else ... I'll be seeing you.

The Modest Jazz Trio - Good Friday Blues
A really nice, previously unavailable/obscure album featuring young Jim Hall (guitar) as the leader, Red Mitchell on piano (even though he usually plays bass), and Red Kelly on bass.
Yes, somehow two Reds. Who’d a thought.
This is a nice set of blues and standards, given a great presentation.

Endless protection recap and analysis (currently watching)
Prosecutor Lin Zhi Tao and assistant prosecutor Bai En Yu are members of a special juvenile prosecution team that focuses on the judicial protection of minors. They come across crimes that test their emotional strength, but despite the horrifying cases, they have to fight for justice of one of society’s most vulnerable: The children.
ℹ️ This post is currently being updated as I watch the show. Do return to the page as I will be updating it.

- Episodes 4-5: Thieves
- Episodes 6-9: Boat Trip
- Episodes 10-14: The past
- Episodes 15-16: Hoodie girl
Episodes 1-3: Bullies
The crime
A young student is bullied so much that he jumps off a building to escape his tormentors.
We meet our justice warriors
In these episodes, we get to meet our main protagonists, Lin Zhi Tao, a no-nonsense prosecutor, and Bai En Yu, a corrections officer at a juvenile corrections facility.
Originally, I watched this without subs, and since my Chinese reading is shit, I couldn’t quite get most of Vengo’s dialogue. (I love ya, Vengo, but please remove those marbles from your mouth lol).
The crimes are so… difficult to watch (sobs).But anyway, I really, really hurt when I see young people suffer in any way, even on TV, which is why after the ferocious bullying in the first few minutes of episode 1, I wondered if I could continue. It was heartbreaking, and I was actually quite surprised at how graphic the bullying was.
But I believe it served a purpose. The head bully was hardly remorseful, and when Lin passed a relatively light sentence, I was also as incensed as the mom.
However, the drama shifted to Bai’s perspective, where we see that while he’s tough on his young charges, he is also caring in his own way. He wants the head bully to be reformed—we can see that—but he’s proving to be a tough nut to crack.
Hilariously, Lin and Bai butt heads in episode 3, and since we know they’ll end up in that special Juvenile Crime division that Lin has been transferred to, this is going to be SO FUN.
I can understand Bai’s perspective. In his mind, Lin is just a pencil pusher who doesn’t get to see the young criminals daily. She only knows how to execute the law. While Lin can execute the law according to rigid parameters, Bai doesn’t have that luxury. Kids are already hard to deal with—delinquent kids?? It’ll be interesting to see both of them exasperate each other.
The limits of the law
I wonder if Lin regrets executing the law so rigidly in the bullying case. I can’t decide if what she did was right or wrong because I’m with the mom—8 years is a slap on the wrist for someone who caused another child to jump off a building in desperation to get away.
Lin’s childhood was not a cakewalk
While the cases are so tough to watch, at the start of episode 3, we see siblings who live under the tyranny of their abusive father. I believe that’s Lin, as we later see the child talk to Lin’s superior.
But I wonder if her actions were the reason why she was ostracized by her community—because she dared to sue her dad, and somehow… her mom still defended her dad despite it all… and chose to oust her daughter instead? Oof.
I really love the characters so far, and I especially like the gregarious Bai, who adores his wife. What a refreshing character to take on, and I’m glad Vengo Gao got a chance to play him. I’m so used to seeing him in idol dramas; I hope that he truly makes the leap to the “Uncle Circle” soon, though I’d miss his white-haired Emperors ;D. He’s so far from the usual suave characters he plays that I’m delighting in the chance.
I also like how multi-faceted the drama is. They don’t portray the juvenile delinquents as irredeemable but show that they’re probably the result of their environment. I find myself unexpectedly rooting for them. 🙂
Yes, even the head bully!
Episodes 4-5: Thieves
The crime
Children are being used to rob people. I definitely cried a little (inside, anyway) when I saw how they were “trained” and “punished.” And if that isn’t bad enough, they’re later stuffed in suitcases and sold. I really am wincing at the fact that these are based on real cases. The poor kids :((
Bai’s human touch
Poor Bai—his favourite charge, Lu Sheng, is back in detention. It appears that he’s been forced back into the criminal ring that uses children to steal, and he’s probably not telling the truth because he wants to protect his siblings, family, and the kids in that ring.
Bai has his heart in the right place: he not only cares for the kids but also knows how to read them and get them to reform. However, his hot-headed ways and rough, in-your-face interrogation methods do not work outside the detention centre, methinks. Still, he has street smarts and instincts that the prosecution team doesn’t have.
Like the director said later, she hopes Bai will give the team the “human touch.”
Lin’s methodical way of prying the truth out of criminals can really complement Bai’s out-of-the-box ways.
(I LOLed at Bai’s method to get into Lu Sheng’s family flat after Lin failed. He pretends to be on Lu Sheng’s dad’s side and drinks with him, which incenses Lin’s assistant, who thinks that he’s breaking the law and “drinking on the job.”)
Notes
- Don’t you think the opening sequence is creepy? The crimes that we’ll see in this drama are hinted at in a series of ‘playful’ dioramas. Cute on the surface, but upon closer look, they hint at darker stories.
- I love how Bai dotes on his wife! We all want a hubby like Bai.
- Lin’s request to revoke Lu Sheng’s father’s guardianship—is this another clue that the kid who wanted to sue her father was Lin? I wonder if she’ll succeed.
- Not gonna lie, I thought Lu Sheng would get a harsh sentence. Thank goodness he didn’t, or else I’d wonder what the hell is wrong with the prosecutors (like I wondered in the first ep).
- What in the world was Bai doing on that roof with the drum? Was he beating the drums to give Lu Sheng a soundtrack while he’s testifying before the prosecutors?? ;D
I noticed not only were they using cash but also those old “boring” hand phones! I wonder why I never noticed before, but this drama must’ve been set before 2010.
Looks like Lin’s troubles with the first case aren’t over??
Episodes 6-9: Boat Trip
The crime
A family boat trip ends in tragedy as a child is killed. The culprit appears to be a young girl, but our prosecutors are not that sure.
I kinda like the office
Our heroes have a rough start to the latest arc. First, Lin had to save the mother of the dead bullied kid from swan diving off the same ledge her son did. Then Bai realised his dream job is a dream – the kind you can only appreciate when you are asleep! He’s flabbergasted that the prestigious job he had fought so hard for has an office in a janitor’s store room. But at least it’s roomy and has an ensuite toilet!
The criminal isn’t as obvious as I thought
This arc got me thinking that some people just shouldn’t be allowed to procreate. Honestly, I really disliked the little girl bully so much that I was convinced the arc was all about how to convict a child psychopath and the ethics of doing so.
But it turned out that the true psychopath was the father of the kids, who made my skin crawl with his selfishness.
His mistress wasn’t any better, her having colluded and even pressured the father to kill the kids. Her begging to be let off from the death penalty towards the end made me shudder a little at her selfishness.
Unfortunately, I don’t think the little girl bully is going to grow up normal. Pretty sure she’s going to be a full-blown narcissist when she grows up and do something criminal.
And thus I go on a philosophical bent thinking how society’s ills often stem from shitty parents, and if only we had an AI for that to anticipate or predict bad/evil parenting …
Some other notable stuff
- I have to say this is such a creative way to interrogate kids.
- We get a clue what the diorama opening scenes are for! As the psychologist explains, it gives children a safe way to talk about the harrowing things they’ve gone through. As I mentioned in the last recap, each toy in the opening scene signifies a crime, and this time, it’s a boat and two empty life vests. (oof)
- We get confirmation that Lin is indeed that girl who sued her father and sent him to prison.
- We also find out that her family ain’t that grateful for her actions.
- So, in that sense, this case is really meaningful to Lin. That scene where she flinched at the sight of the wire coat hanger. Phew.
- Bai continues to demonstrate that his bad temper is not an asset in the interrogation room (I wonder if he’ll be dinged for that in future episodes). However, his out-of-the-box detective work, instincts and deft ability to handle young juvenile kids is definitely an asset to his more by-the-book teammates.
- Narcissists are often paired with Enablers and the father’s mother is an Enabler with a capital E. Lin and Bai got extremely frustrated by her not doing anything to prevent her grandkids from being abused. I got wanted to throw something at her when she said her son was a “good man, it’s just that he loses his temper”. Eurgh (screams into pillow). I think Lin is especially upset about this because, and I’m guessing, it reminds her too much of her mother who begged the police to release her husband.
Who is the mysterious kid in the hoodie?
By the way, there is this mysterious kid who spoke to the bullied kid’s mum, and I wondered if she somehow goaded her to jump off the building?
Even Lin remarked that the woman was probably being manipulated into doing so.
Are we dealing with a genius kid psychopath or something?
Episodes 10-14: The past
The crimes:
A teenager is about to be prosecuted … for running a porn distribution ring.
Teen biker gangs are causing havoc and Bai Enyu wants to solve this problem without the law stepping in.
Don’t do porn, ‘mkay?
These episodes are relatively placid and less intense than the earlie episodes. (You know what this means—intense, heart-wrenching cases are coming soon!)
I have to say, my main reaction to the porn ring story was, wait, omg you can go to jail for this in China? Half the world would be in prison if this was a law in their countries!
But the distinction to be made here is that prosecution only happens if you profit from it, and this teenager has been earning money from his chat porn distribution ring.
Meanwhile, we’re introduced to his rather unstable tiger mum who screams at him the moment he shows interest in a friend who happens to be a girl? Geez, no wonder he’s turning to porn, mum.
Anyway, our prosecutors are pleading for leniency from the government as he seems to be a good and smart kid. Prosecution could mean that his life is ruined forever, after all.
Our second case is a little more serious but not intense either. Instead the case offers an insight on Bai. Well, our cheerful detective/prosecutor was a delinquent himself!
However, he turned into a new leaf when, during one of his fights, a friend was killed and another was maimed. And it was kinda sweet that his wife was a part of the gang, which meant that she was his childhood sweetheart.
On the whole, I found the biker arc predictable, but it’s nice to see Bai talking to a modern, younger version of his teen self, and being able to stop him from ending up hurting someone (and possibly derail his life).
Bai tries to play therapist to Lin (spoiler alert: not working well)
Lin meets her enstranged brother. Not a happy moment for all.We also find out that Prosecutor Lin has a problem with her brain. Like, a physical one, in case you’re wondering.
Bai also finds out that the shop he’s been patronising and where Lu Sheng, his reformed delinquent progete works – the owner is Prosecutor Lin’s brother.
This becomes a rather awkward moment for Prosecutor Lin when she comes face to face with a brother she’s been estranged from for 16 years. Little brother has a big heap of resentment against his sister for leaving the family.
Bai, Lin and her brother need therapy. You are not a therapist.These episodes were slow, and it took me a while to get through them. But I did like the character moments in episode 14, especially with Lin and her brother. Bai in his bull-headed way tries to force a reconciliation which goes as well as you can imagine.
I suspect that Lin feels immensely guilty for what happened after reporting her father and putting him in jail. It didn’t help, from what I can see, that the family didn’t support her decision but turned against her instead. It was the right thing, but it resulted in ostracisation from the community and the very people she tried to protect. After a betrayal like that, can you blame her for staying away?
Oh gawd, someone please hand me a shovel so I can do some violenceMy thoughts so far
This arc was rather boring, to be honest, but maybe it’s due to my short-attention span brain being distracted by prettier fare like Feud and The Princess’ Gambit.Still, it’s again, delightful to watch Vengo Gao in such a good role. I’ve only seen him as an aloof heavily emperor, an aloof kinda-vampire and aloof swordsman – you get the idea. So, to see him just let loose as the brash, hot-tempered but good-hearted corrections officer is such a delight.
I’m also liking how each case isn’t predictable. I always think that I have pinned down the culprit, only to be surprised each time.
And after watching the chaos that is The Princess’ Gambit and other idol dramas, I really appreciate the plain ol, logical and good scriptwriting. You do wonder why idol dramas just can’t do this while dramas like these can?
Episodes 15-16: Hoodie girl
The crime
Prosecutor Lin is lured to the KTV lounge where she had caught the business hired under-aged girls. There, she ends up being trapped in a burning building.No guesses who the culprit is: Hoodie girl, Ning Kaitong (Li Xi Yuan).
She’s young, not even of legal age, but frighteningly smart.
So smart, in fact, that her psychopathic, serial-killer-like behaviour is deeply concerning.
We’ve seen her from the very beginning of the series, appearing near people connected to Prosecutor Lin’s cases. She goads the victims into doing terrible things, even attempting to convince a woman to commit suicide. These actions are undeniably scary.
Yet, what I love about this show is that they could still make me care for a character like Kaitong.
She’s not acting this way purely because she’s psychotic, but because she’s extremely bitter.
Prosecutor Lin sent her mother to prison, and she blames Lin for destroying her family.
This resentment comes to a head in these episodes when she lures Prosecutor Lin to a KTV building and sets it on fire.
Lin nearly dies but is saved by his brother. The only silver lining is that this incident finally forces Lin and her brother to reconcile. (I found it hilarious that Bai’s earnest efforts through food and meet-ups failed but a burning building succeeded.)
Meanwhile, Kaitong’s malicious ability to frame others for murder and manipulate people into deadly situations is something our prosecutors cannot ignore.
I’ll admit it now, I’ve never hated a minor character so much. Kaitong shows no remorse, fully believing that Prosecutor Lin deserved it and smugly smiling when the rest interrogate her, revelling in the fact that her youth protects her from tougher actions.
She smirked when they were forced to let her go. And, honestly, I thought this was the route the drama would take – we would see her going through counselling and “education”, and by the end of her arc she’ll be remorseful and sorry. Urgh.
(Fortunately, the prosecutors were as hard-assed as I was and tried to find a way to rein her in. I mean, seriously, having a kid who nearly killed someone grow up to adulthood and become god knows what is a scary thought.)
At that moment, I thought, “This girl belongs behind bars. She’s a danger to society. And this whole arc is about tossing her in jail. Bring it on!”
But Show surprised me again by giving me a twist that made me feel sad for psycho hoodie girl.
Throughout the series, we get hints that Prosecutor Lin is keeping a secret for the girl’s mother—one that the girl probably should know.
However, the prosecutors eventually find a way to hold her accountable. They discover she’s not the biological child of her parents—she was adopted and is actually older than she appears. This means she can be prosecuted.
When she’s brought in, she’s still smug, believing that she’s already accomplished her primary goal of hurting Prosecutor Lin.
But then, the secret comes out: her mother had assisted her father in committing suicide to secure insurance money for her education. Her mother went to jail for this, and before dying, she urged her daughter to live a good life and asked Lin to keep her true intentions a secret.
The tragedy hits hard when the girl realizes she has wasted her parents’ sacrifice.
As she stood in the dock, hearing her sentence, she broke down, understanding that everything she did was for the wrong reasons.
Not so smug now, huh?Worse, her mother’s sacrifices and suffering were in vain. All her mother and father wanted was for her to have a good university education so that her smart brain could be used to build a better life. Instead, Kaitong used her intelligence to destroy the lives of others, and ultimately, her own. She wasted not just her life but her parents’ lives.
For Kaitong, there’s no worse punishment than realising that her actions rendered her mother’s suffering useless.
Will she get to be a productive member of society once she’s released? The stain of “attempted murder” isn’t something you can rub off easily, especially in a strict society like China’s. I doubt she can be a leader in the government, or even in corporations … what a waste of talent.
This storytelling is what I love about Endless Protection – it’s never straightforward. There are red herrings, surprises, and layers to every mystery.
This arc wasn’t violent, fortunately, nor was it action-packed, but the final scene at the courtroom delivered such a punch: Don’t waste your life. Don’t waste your intelligence on revenge and evil.
And can I say that I’m amazed by the young actress’ performance? In fact, all the young actors in this show were absolutely brilliant. If there’s one reason to watch Endless Protection (among many) it’ll be this.

Melting Rot – Infatuation with Premeditation Review By SaundersWhen in skilled hands, death and grind go together like all the finest combinations, whether it’s peanut butter and chocolate, beer and pretzels, or good old mac and cheese. The tasty combo applies to the musical inclinations of Illinois wrecking crew Melting Rot, as they unleash their second LP and follow-up to 2021’s Blood Delusions debut. Admittedly unfamiliar before dredging this one up from the promo sump, the trio feature combined underground experience with various lesser-known acts, forming way back in 2017. Citing the likes of Regurgitate and Excruciating Terror as comparisons, and featuring a guest spot from Exhumed legend Matt Harvey, can these unheralded deathgrind loonies make a sizable impact in the ever-crowded realms of the underground?
Following a short sample, right off the bat, Melting Rot lay their gnarled cards on the table, unleashing a rugged, relentless frenzy of old school grind values and groovy, gnashing brutal death, complete with incomprehensible, uber low vox and occasional deeper variations or grindy highs. It’s a tight, violent, take-no-prisoners approach, done and dusted in a mere eighteen minutes. Melting Rot flip between d-beaten bursts and blasts of crusty grind, to thuggish brutal death depravity with raucous energy and tight musical chops. Revelling in the relative uncomplicated nature of their sound, Melting Rot draw influence from the likes of Exhumed, Carcass, and a more straightforward Benighted.
Sporting a robust, extra beefy production job, Infatuation with Premeditation boasts a killer guitar tone, cutting a nasty swathe of distortion and welcome oomph to the ample supply of meaty riffs and piledriving grooves littering the album. At their most potent, Melting Rot dish out gnarly examples of their bruising deathgrind attack. Barnstorming cuts like the viciously grinding, punkish throes and infectious riffs of “Human Pavement Splatter,” crunching grooves and ripping powerplays of “The Surgeon was Comatose,” and thrashing melodicism cutting through the otherwise blunt force savagery of “Aiming for Construction Workers” highlight Infatuation with Premeditation’s stronger writing. Not to be discounted, “Open Casket Vomit Spew” injects Necroticism-esque flair and crunch, while “Morbid Infatuation” adds buzzsawing Swedeath riffs into its punky grind skirmishes. It’s nasty, unsanitized stuff, refreshingly free from modern polish, ensuring the material retains its dirty, rusty edge.
There are no glaring weak links, just a handful of moments where the writing bleeds together slightly, leading to fleeting moments of faceless brutality. Meanwhile, the vocals are a mixed bag. The multi-pronged attack largely defaults to the predominant gurgling lows, while serviceable, they lack variation and are fairly one-dimensional and monotonous in delivery. When occasionally cut with the shattering highs and other lower growl variations, the vocal impact is more effective. Shifting the balance would have worked wonders. Otherwise, Infatuation with Premeditation ticks all the boxes for a rollicking good time for deathgrind fiends. The brevity leaves you wanting more, and while long-term mileage is debatable, overall, Melting Rot swing hard and largely nail the impact. The subtle dynamic shifts between their higher gears are well executed, while the album is fueled by relentless energy and filthy, bludgeoning riffs, packing a mean, headbanging punch.
Melting Rot delivered a punchy, efficient blast of deathgrind goodness on Infatuation with Premeditation, featuring a short, sharp collection of nuggety brawlers falling in the solid to very good bracket and hinting at potential greatness to come if Melting Rot continue to sharpen and hone their songwriting skills. As it stands, Infatuation with Premeditation is a strong 3.0, an entertaining platter and recommended listen for deathgrind enthusiasts who like their deathgrind extra riffy and their grooves bloody and beaten.

Melting Rot – Infatuation with Premeditation Review By SaundersWhen in skilled hands, death and grind go together like all the finest combinations, whether it’s peanut butter and chocolate, beer and pretzels, or good old mac and cheese. The tasty combo applies to the musical inclinations of Illinois wrecking crew Melting Rot, as they unleash their second LP and follow-up to 2021’s Blood Delusions debut. Admittedly unfamiliar before dredging this one up from the promo sump, the trio feature combined underground experience with various lesser-known acts, forming way back in 2017. Citing the likes of Regurgitate and Excruciating Terror as comparisons, and featuring a guest spot from Exhumed legend Matt Harvey, can these unheralded deathgrind loonies make a sizable impact in the ever-crowded realms of the underground?
Following a short sample, right off the bat, Melting Rot lay their gnarled cards on the table, unleashing a rugged, relentless frenzy of old school grind values and groovy, gnashing brutal death, complete with incomprehensible, uber low vox and occasional deeper variations or grindy highs. It’s a tight, violent, take-no-prisoners approach, done and dusted in a mere eighteen minutes. Melting Rot flip between d-beaten bursts and blasts of crusty grind, to thuggish brutal death depravity with raucous energy and tight musical chops. Revelling in the relative uncomplicated nature of their sound, Melting Rot draw influence from the likes of Exhumed, Carcass, and a more straightforward Benighted.
Sporting a robust, extra beefy production job, Infatuation with Premeditation boasts a killer guitar tone, cutting a nasty swathe of distortion and welcome oomph to the ample supply of meaty riffs and piledriving grooves littering the album. At their most potent, Melting Rot dish out gnarly examples of their bruising deathgrind attack. Barnstorming cuts like the viciously grinding, punkish throes and infectious riffs of “Human Pavement Splatter,” crunching grooves and ripping powerplays of “The Surgeon was Comatose,” and thrashing melodicism cutting through the otherwise blunt force savagery of “Aiming for Construction Workers” highlight Infatuation with Premeditation’s stronger writing. Not to be discounted, “Open Casket Vomit Spew” injects Necroticism-esque flair and crunch, while “Morbid Infatuation” adds buzzsawing Swedeath riffs into its punky grind skirmishes. It’s nasty, unsanitized stuff, refreshingly free from modern polish, ensuring the material retains its dirty, rusty edge.
There are no glaring weak links, just a handful of moments where the writing bleeds together slightly, leading to fleeting moments of faceless brutality. Meanwhile, the vocals are a mixed bag. The multi-pronged attack largely defaults to the predominant gurgling lows, while serviceable, they lack variation and are fairly one-dimensional and monotonous in delivery.

Most of the time I can avoid insects. I even plan for them when I can. I have fly screens to keep the flying ones out of the house and sticky stuff to catch them if they sneak in. I regularly clean floors and bedding, and I use extendable dusters to clear corners and ledges of spider webs.
Today, though, I encountered two unfamiliar bugs. The first revealed itself when I was on my patio. I noticed that one of my potted plants was housing lots of small white bugs, or nests, or cocoons on the underside of lots of leaves. I didn’t know what they were, so I took a couple of pictures.
A Google search suggested mealybugs, but I wasn’t convinced. The mealybug pictures weren’t quite the same as the thing I was looking at, but they were pretty close. Given my doubts and lack of insect-awareness, I decided the bugs had to go. I donned some of the latex disposable gloves that I had bought during the pandemic and went out to strip that plant of infested leaves. Once I started turning branches upside down, though, I realized the problem was bigger than I had thought. Stripping leaves would not be sufficient. I had to prune whole branches.
I clipped away at that plant (which I inherited from the previous owner and still cannot identify) and I removed most of the lower branches. Once I had filled a large Ziplog bag with bugs and branches, I thought my work was done.
What I had not anticipated, however, was the hour-long cringing spine-chilling that comes with bug-association. The shivers stayed with me much longer than I would have thought. Then, just as I thought I was over it, I looked out of the living room window and realized I had missed some bugs. As the sun shone on that darned plant, I saw that I had missed a few.
By this time, though, I was mad. Bug-shivers be damned. I was going to annihilate those beasts. I took up my garden hose, turned the dial to an insect-defying jet, and sprayed it on the undersides of those renegade leaves. I had to hold my ungloved fingers under the leaves to reach my goal, but ultimately all the white bugs were gone.
https://en.
wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithobius_forficatusThen, as I sat in my recliner revelling in my glory, I saw a centipede crawl out from under the couch. How dare it! I am ready for you, centipede! No creepy-crawly shivers going on now. I am getting you out of here!
I pulled a file folder off my shelf and scooped that creepy thing up faster than a centipede can crawl. It actually paused in shock for a moment, but then I flung it out of my living room onto my patio so fast it thought it had entered a new dimension.
It hasn’t experienced Back to the Future, exactly, but that bug has now joined the same universe as the remains of those insects I ejected from my patio plant. I hope they find a bug DeLorean to take them away from here. Otherwise I may have to take more drastic measures. I’m working on the flux capacitor as we speak.

#Musk #Billionaires #Ford #Fordism: "What Musk displays is less fealty to technocracy as Jonathan Taplin would have it – in the sense of subjecting decision-making to a utilitarian calculus – and more what the critic John Ganz has called “bossism”. This is a commitment to the inviolability of hierarchical chains of domination, and a revelling in the sadistic surplus of power offered by that status.
The business bookshelves groan with biographies of asshole innovators. The usual justification, which Isaacson supplies many times here as he did in his biography of Steve Jobs, is that the gains are worth the collateral suffering. “Could he have been more chill and still be the one launching us towards Mars?” he asks rhetorically. But attending to Musk’s description of his goals, we see that he is not launching “us” to Mars (unless Isaacson hopes his frequently puffy biography will win him a berth). Musk’s goal of leaving this planet “before civilisation crumbles,” as he put it as recently as April 2023, is defined by the stringent selection of a few refugees from a dying world. It is a scenario reminiscent of Isaac Asimov’s Foundation series, favoured by Musk, or the satirical Adam McKay film Don’t Look Up.
Where Fordism and Teslaism differ most is that for Musk it has never been about a rising tide lifting all ships. It’s about a geyser of rocket fuel lifting one particular ship – literally the Starship – to take him and his (at last count) ten offspring far away from the zombies. What’s good for Tesla is good for Mars is good for the Musks. On the software billionaire Larry Ellison’s private island in Hawaii, Musk lifts his young son, X Æ A-Xii, up to a telescope and says, “Look at this, this is where you are going to live someday.”"

Memorizing wonderfully 61 – 1 Corinthians 6:9 Unrighteous shall not inherit
## I CORINTHIANS 6:9
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit
BE NOT DECEIVED:

Eph 5:3 But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as becometh saints;

Memorizing wonderfully 61 – 1 Corinthians 6:9 Unrighteous shall not inherit
## I CORINTHIANS 6:9
9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit
BE NOT DECEIVED:
neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit
THE KINGDOM OF GOD.
*
To remember
Le 18:22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
Le 20:13 And if a man lie with mankind, as with womankind, both of them have committed abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
De 22:5 A woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment; for whosoever doeth these things is an abomination unto Jehovah thy God.
De 23:17 There shall be no {1 } prostitute of the daughters of Israel, neither shall there be a {2 } sodomite of the sons of Israel. {1) Heb kedeshah; See Ge 38:21. 2) Heb kadesh }
Jud 19:22 As they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, certain base fellows, beset the house round about, beating at the door; and they spake to the master of the house, the old man, saying, Bring forth the man that came into thy house, that we may know him.
Mr 7:21 For from within, out of the heart of men, {1 } evil thoughts proceed, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries, {1) Gr thoughts that are evil }
Ro 1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto {1 } vile passions: for their women changed the natural use into that which is against nature: {1) Gr passions of dishonor }
Ro 1:27 and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another, men with men working unseemliness, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was due.Col 3:5 Put to death therefore your members which are upon the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry;
1Co 5:11 but {1 } as it is, I wrote unto you not to keep company, if any man that is named a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such a one no, not to eat. {1) Or now I write }
1Co 6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body.
1Co 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
2Co 12:21 lest again when I come my God should humble me before you, and I should mourn for many of them that have sinned heretofore, and repented not of the uncleanness and fornication and lasciviousness which they committed.
Ga 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these: fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,
Ga 5:20 idolatry, sorcery, enmities, strife, jealousies, wraths, factions, divisions, {1 } parties, {1) Gr heresies }

#Musk #Billionaires #Ford #Fordism: "What Musk displays is less fealty to technocracy as Jonathan Taplin would have it – in the sense of subjecting decision-making to a utilitarian calculus – and more what the critic John Ganz has called “bossism”. This is a commitment to the inviolability of hierarchical chains of domination, and a revelling in the sadistic surplus of power offered by that status.
The business bookshelves groan with biographies of asshole innovators. The usual justification, which Isaacson supplies many times here as he did in his biography of Steve Jobs, is that the gains are worth the collateral suffering. “Could he have been more chill and still be the one launching us towards Mars?” he asks rhetorically. But attending to Musk’s description of his goals, we see that he is not launching “us” to Mars (unless Isaacson hopes his frequently puffy biography will win him a berth). Musk’s goal of leaving this planet “before civilisation crumbles,” as he put it as recently as April 2023, is defined by the stringent selection of a few refugees from a dying world. It is a scenario reminiscent of Isaac Asimov’s Foundation series, favoured by Musk, or the satirical Adam McKay film Don’t Look Up.
Where Fordism and Teslaism differ most is that for Musk it has never been about a rising tide lifting all ships. It’s about a geyser of rocket fuel lifting one particular ship – literally the Starship – to take him and his (at last count) ten offspring far away from the zombies. What’s good for Tesla is good for Mars is good for the Musks. On the software billionaire Larry Ellison’s private island in Hawaii, Musk lifts his young son, X Æ A-Xii, up to a telescope and says, “Look at this, this is where you are going to live someday.”"
