This is whom Isabella Thorpe would want to be during the Harlem Renaissance. She wouldn't manage it, but she'd want people to think of her like this:

Irene Dunne and Myrna Loy in Thirteen Women (George Archainbaud, 1932)

Cast: Irene Dunne, Myrna Loy, Ricardo Cortez, Jill Esmond, Mary Duncan, Kay Johnson, Florence Eldridge, C. Henry Gordon, Peg Entwistle, Harriet Hagman, Edward Pawley, Blanche Friderici, Wally Albright. Screenplay: Bartlett Cormack, Samuel Ornitz, based on a novel by Tiffany Thayer. Cinematography: Leo Tover. Art direction: Carroll Clark. Film editing: Charles L. Kimball. Music: Max Steiner. 

Myrna Loy was born Myrna Williams in Helena, Montana, but you wouldn't know it from the way Hollywood often cast her at the start of her career in the '20s and '30s. Her role in Thirteen Women is probably the purest example of her work as the stereotypical sinister Eurasian. She plays Ursula Georgi, whom the cop played by Ricardo Cortez scorns as "Half-breed type. Half Hindu, half Javanese, I don't know." (Actually, Cortez himself knew something about crossing ethnic lines: He was born Jacob Krantz in New York, but Hollywood changed his name to capitalize on the vogue for Latin lovers like Rudolph Valentino and Ramon Novarro, and later claimed first that he was French and later that he was born in Vienna.) Ursula seeks revenge on the women who belonged to a sorority at a girls' college and blackballed her when she sought admission. She seeks out a phony seer known as Swami Yogadachi (C. Henry Gordon), whose horoscope readings the girls sought out, and hypnotizes him into sending them poison-pen readings that predict dire events. Two of the girls, the sisters June (Mary Duncan) and May Raskob (Harriet Hagman), have become trapeze artists, and June is so unnerved by the fake reading that she lets May fall to her death during a stunt and goes mad as a consequence. As others fall prey to Ursula's schemes, some of the survivors gather at the home of Laura Stanhope (Irene Dunne), who thinks that their hysteria over the deaths is absurd. Laura is the single mother of a son, Bobby (Wally Albright), who is one of those cloyingly cute movie children -- he calls her "Mumsy." But even Laura's calm vanishes when Ursula makes Bobby her next target. In addition to being stupidly racist, the movie is sheer hokum, a cockamamie blend of revenge thriller and police procedural, and it was not much of a success at the box office, even after RKO cut 14 minutes from it after test screenings -- one of the reasons why we learn the fates of only 10 of the 13 women. One of the performances cut to only four minutes was that of Peg Entwistle, who played Hazel, the one who kills her husband and goes to prison. Entwistle was reportedly so despondent about her movie career that she climbed to the top of one of the letters on the Hollywood sign (reports vary on whether it was the H or the D) and jumped to her death. As for Loy, this was her last outing as a Eurasian vamp: The Thin Man (W.S. Van Dyke, 1934) changed her screen image to that of the witty and soignée wife, most often of William Powell.

“I expect Trump to continue fully supporting Israel and Netanyahu in his military campaigns in Gaza and Lebanon, with even fewer ‘redlines’ than Biden; he would seem to prefer a quick end to the fighting, but this means Israel will have carte blanche from the US to do whatever it needs to do militarily to accomplish this”

“Less emphasis will be put on meeting Palestinians' humanitarian needs and probably none at all on Gaza reconstruction and a political horizon based on a two-state solution,” he added.

“In the next few months, I think Israel will ignore any cautions from the Biden administration, knowing that it can count on Trump's full support when he enters office."

god rest ye merry gentlemen

“should we help them?”

mary looks up from the paper chain to one of the new girls. it’s the little blonde with the broad texas drawl, karen or carrie or something. gail, who’s name she couldn’t forget if she tried, is giggling with some captain with a pointy chin that reminds mary of an elf. at least she’s festive, if lazy. she follows her gaze to where the boys are decorating in a way that’s courting several head injuries. she shakes her head. “no, they’re fine.”

karen-carrie frowns a little. “should they be standing on the stools?”

they shouldn’t but nell’s the nearest nurse. mary isn’t about to concern herself with them when nell can take five minutes from tinsel to handle it if someone takes a header. should sam be standing on a bar stool and bashing at a cobweb with a pool stick? of course not - she knows that but he’s a grown man. the new girls have only been here two days. they’ll figure it out and if they don’t in the week before nell leaves, then and only then mary will acknowledge that she and helen are fucked.

“they’re adults,” she says finally. karen (her name must be karen) scoffs and goes back to her end of the paper chain.

this is far from mary’s first rodeo when it comes to organizing a christmas party. when it comes to celebrations, she leaves those to the men and has to keep her mouth shut about the decorations. christmas is all hers - she’s been putting them together since boston, through to london, and now here. she does love christmas, in all its chaotic glory. she misses christmases at home with the dunnes under one roof, the whole pile of them at her grandmother’s in brookline to play rummy and drink for three days straight. that she feels a fondness for even her cousin edith, who makes gail look like a cakewalk, is probably a sign she’s been overseas too long.

“holland!” she barks, dragging herself out of holiday nostalgia. “i don’t think she needs that much supervision to put up tinsel.”

across the room, elliot quickly drops his hands from around nell’s hips and at least has the grace to look shamed. nell gives her a dry look and says something to him that makes him grin and put his hands right back.

feeling impotent and powerless, mary turns to the new girl. “karen-“

“carrie,” she corrects.

“carrie, could you get gail to stop playing slap and tickle and do some actual fucking work?”

she finishes one last loop and stands, straightening her blouse with a righteous tug. “gladly.”

she stalks off and mary surveys the room for more people to boss around. the boys seem to have a hand on their tasks, as chaotically as they’re choosing to go about it. she glances over in time to see holland sweep nell down from the step ladder with a flourish that makes her laugh. mary is delighted to see her best friend happy but at times like this, it tends to make her feel a pang. luckily, grant cuts through the clubhouse at that moment, looking far better than a man in a sweater and leather jacket has any right to. he waves hello and tries to keep moving but she flags him down and draws him over.

“don’t you want to stay and cut meteorologically correct snowflakes?”

he rolls his eyes and pats the fat file and diagrams under his arm. “meeting.”

“bah humbug.”

“hah. cute. this the one for the kids or-“

“hatcher’s making punch so definitely not.”

“the one that he calls embalming fluid or gasoline?”

mary glances over at the bar where hatcher is merrily negotiating the purchase of booze on his tab. “looks there’s gin so gasoline. he’s going to put a chunk of holly in it to make it festive.”

“christ,” grant blanches and mary laughs. “last time i drank gasoline, i was hungover for three days.”

“i was legally dead for at least an hour,” elliot says. he and nell have joined them over at mary’s supply station, his arm slung around her waist in a way that makes her feel irritatingly lonely. “and then i was hungover for three days.”

“did you eat the fruit too?” grant asks this with a tone of desperation to corroborate that someone else was dumb enough to eat the fruit.

“yeah, he got me with a piece of apple.” he kisses nell on the temple. “don’t eat the fruit, honey.”

nell wrinkles her nose at him adorably. “i know not to eat the fruit.”

“couple of amateurs,” mary says mournfully and nell laughs. “rule number one: never drink a hatcher original.”

“only what he can’t spike,” nell quips, quoting mary from a few months ago.

“exactly.” deciding that the paper chain is long enough and that carrie and gail can pick it up, mary stands and rubs the small of her back. “kirkpatrick, meeting. howard, you and me on snowflakes. holland, take the ladder over to kinney before he breaks his neck.”

holland rolls his eyes. “sir, yes, sir.”

“a woman as bossy as you needs a whole army to command,” grant says before heading out.

mary decides to take it as a compliment.

Il y a longtemps, les enfants regardaient les nuages en s'imaginant les formes les plus fantasques : ces masses blanches venaient d'Orlaïs ou d'Antiva et promenaient des chars tirés par des chevaux aîlés, des moutons heureux de jouer et des dragons dangereux. Cette allégresse s'est transformée en peur quand les moutons ont été abattus, que les chevaux ont henni de terreur et que le dragon a survolé la cité. Que c'est triste de lire les témoignages des auteurs contemporains vantant les jeux des enfants : ils sont souvent le signe d'une raréfication de leurs apparitions.

Il y a quelques mois encore, des jeunes gens admiraient les nuages en y projetant leurs rêves et leurs espoirs : des belles histoires d'amour, des élans de fraternité, des ambitions de grandeur et des oublis de décadence. Ils refont un monde qui tremble et menace de tomber. Ils fêtent sous le lustre de la salle du trône ou autour d'un arbre pluricentenaire. Ils construisent, rêvent, pleurent et rient alors qu'ils voient leur avenir s'effondrer, leurs vies menacées par un impôt exorbitant et par le besoin de bras armés pour défendre leurs murs, leurs maisons et leurs possessions…

Il y a désormais des adultes qui observent les nuages avec une crainte qu'ils ne cachent plus. Les réfugiés ne les précèdent plus, désormais : ils sont le dernier signe d'une apocalypse terrifiante. Frères et sœurs chantristes relèvent pour des températures bien élevées pour l'hiver et décrivent une dérangeante couleur pourpre. Thédas entier a les yeux rivés sur Starkhaven avec l'espoir que ses hautes et épaisses murailles arrêtent la marée de l'Enclin : je lis aujourd'hui encore les attentes des salons orlésiens et les refus des antichambres tévintides ; je découvre les plans de la Garde des Ombres et les préparations des autorités princières ; je devine la peur et les doutes de ces âmes qui cherchent la protection d'une place forte surpeuplée.

Les nuages n'auront bientôt plus de forme, plus de souffle, plus de couleur : ils isoleront Starkhaven du reste du monde alors que les engeances assiégeront la Cité des Princes. Une issue inéluctable ; le début de la fin ? L'espoir demeure, pourtant, aussi inaudible soit-il : sinon, je ne serais pas là pour vous transmettre leurs histoires…

Statistiques

Ainsi tomba Thédas compte actuellement 51 comptes pour 49 personnages validés ! Les Factions sont globalement toutes équilibrées, sauf la Garde des Ombres qui a un désavantage.

Prédéfinie mise à l'honneur

Nom : Saoirse Dunne. Âge : 38 ans. Genre : Féminin. Peuple : Humain. Nation d'origine : Marches Libres (Starkhaven). Occupation : Capitaine de la Garde de Starkhaven. Religion ou croyances : Chantrie andrastienne. État civil : Libre (non mariée).

La valeur d'une femme ne se lit qu'au travers de son mérite : ce que les uns obtiennent avec faveur, ce que les autres perdent par fragilité, ne méritent que mon mépris. Je n'entends pas leurs plaintes et je fais taire leurs gémissements insupportables. Ma famille, certes noble, n'est qu'un nom parmi les plus anecdotiques de la cité : je n'ai réussi à devenir capitaine de la Garde de Starkhaven qu'au sacrifice de ma sueur, de mes larmes et de mon sang. Un bien maigre prix à payer pour protéger la cité et ses habitants des temps obscurs qui se Dévoilent. Maintenant pourtant que je suis au plus haut, je ne sais où regarder pour avancer : dois-je donc baisser les yeux de mon soleil pour redouter cet Enclin qui nous privera de toutes nos chances ?

Scénario mise à l'honneur

Nom : Ashatarsylnin Virnehn, dite Nin. Âge : Entre 25 et 30 ans. Genre : Féminin. Peuple : Elfe. Nation d'origine : Dalatiens (Clan Tanassavir Elle a été formée par son père, maître artisan du clan, mais son occupation actuelle est libre. Religion ou croyances : Panthéon elfique. État civil : Fiancée.

Cela fait quelques années qu'elle se sent enfermée dans le clan Virnehn et déçue des décisions de certains de ses dirigeants. Elle a l'impression que certains événements auraient pu être mieux gérés, certaines alliances maintenues, certaines règles modernisées… Nin est tiraillée entre sa loyauté envers sa famille et les Virnehn d'un côté, et son désir de liberté et de justice de l'autre. Elle espère que sa visite au clan Tanassavir lui permettra de prendre la distance nécessaire pour démêler son ressenti. Elle n'a pas le pas assez léger pour faire une bonne chasseuse mais possède un très bon sens de l'orientation et est extrêmement douée de ses dix doigts. D'un caractère affirmé, Nin sait ce qu'elle veut et pose facilement des limites. Elle communique beaucoup et avec franchise (parfois trop). Elle se montre protectrice avec ses proches, mais elle n'hésite pas à les secouer un peu quand elle juge qu'ils en ont besoin. Voir plus...

Organisation mise à l'honneur

Comme le Cercle de Starkhaven est situé dans l’enceinte même de la vieille ville, la garnison principal de l’Ordre y est adjointe : d’aucuns diraient que ce n’est pas la palissade derrière le parc qui sépare les mages du peuple, mais bien les dizaines de templiers en service, allant et venant à leurs affaires dans leurs armures étincelantes. La cité étant grande, ils logent parfois temporairement dans les garnisons des gardes, mais reviennent toujours prendre leurs ordres au Cercle.           Il est difficile de croire que l’Ordre des templiers se tient aussi neutre qu’il le devrait, tant il est devenu avec les années le repaire des enfants nobles, havenois et étrangers, dont on ne sait pas quoi faire : c’est d’autant plus remarquable avec cette tradition des Vaël qui veut qu’un de leurs enfants s’engage dans la Chantrie. Nombreux sont leurs fils au cours des derniers siècles qui ont fini Chevaliers-Commandeurs ; et cette habitude fut souvent suivie par les nobles familles, au point d’en agacer les Templiers plus modestes qui forment pourtant l’immense majorité de ces soldats religieux et qui aimeraient bien plus de reconnaissance. Les rapports de force et de frustration semblent néanmoins avoir été inversés avec l’arrivée du dernier Chevalier-Commandant, véritable gamin des rues dont la valeur se mesure plutôt par son dévouement au Créateur et à la surveillance des mages.           Il n'en reste pas moins que l'Ordre des templiers, étroitement lié au Cercle des mages, est respecté pour sa dévotion et son courage : pleinement intégré à la Chantrie et à son organisation, ils en sont le maillon essentiel. Le Cantique enseigne que le rôle premier des Cercles de Magie est de lutter contre l'Enclin, bien avant de permettre aux mages d'apprendre à contrôler leur malédiction, et le temps est venu pour le Cercle de Starkhaven de protéger la cité qui l'accueille. Au contraire des mages, les templier.e.s n'ont pas été réquisitionné.e.s de force, mais il doit bien rester des gardien.ne.s… et on le leur fait comprendre. Voir plus...

THE RIB PAGE 

YEAR OF THE WOMAN 

Cole Escola is killing it in Oh Mary! on Broadway!! 

***** 

Keir Starmer is UK’s new Prime Minister! ** The left took France!! America ..... Don’t let us down!! 

***** 

Is the Government of the U.S. going to run in the interest of the people as a whole, or in the interest of a small group of privileged, big businessmen? - Harry S. Truman 

***** 

I like being woke. It’s much nicer than being an ignorant fucking twat. - Kathy Burke 

***** 

N/A, a play about Pelosi and AOC stars Holland Taylor and Ana Villafane. Yes! 

***** 

Days alert: Oh Nicole, you will be missed! But a great way to send she and Eric away!! ** I love Abe and Kate working together and I hope they do Body and Soul justice. Haddie Adams is the perfect choice to bring back!!!! 

***** 

People are dying in the heat for religious destinations, dozens are killed in a stampede at a religious event in India. Is it time to ban religion? What conflicts could be eliminated with that ban? 

***** 

After my Netflix special, I’m done. - Ellen DeGeneres 

***** 

We are officially in the era of the American King/ Queen. ** Get ready for every shady character trying to be President so he can make up the rules for his own game. The Supreme Court has made a mess about Presidential power. Every lower judge will interpret official powers. ** The courts of the U.S. are supposed to rule on punishment of people who broke the laws of our country, regardless of color, gender, wealth, political position, fame and any other differences we have as individuals. It is possible the damage that has been done to our nation by Trump may heal and we might move forward towards a better stronger nation, but it is also very possible that this decision has doomed ‘the great experiment’ that was the U.S. of A.  - Craig Sicknick  ** The Supreme Court has effectively given MAGA extremists their seal of approval. - Aquilino Gonell ** We can’t count on the Supreme Court or any institution to hold him responsible. - Harry Dunn ** Should Biden use this to ban convicted felons from running? ** Biden dropped out of the Presidential race and endorsed Kamala Harris. What a selfless act and what can he now accomplish with no reelection to worry about and the Supreme Court giving him Carte Blanche?? I felt things turn when the phrase, “big boy press conference” was bandied around. That, to me, marked the end. The scuttlebut since has mentioned that Jeff Katzenberg was misleading the Hollywood supporters by not mentioning how age has creeped up on Biden. Like other times in history, we have a little too much old guard in charge. Generations are being blocked by the aged at the top. Many say that they don’t want to leave with Trump still in the mix. They feel like they would be leaving when their party needs them the most. The world moves fast and a little new blood sill do us a world of good. Harris made a hundred phone calls that first day. ** Dick Durbin announced the judiciary committee will hold hearings on the Supreme Court immunity ruling in September. 

***** 

But let’s remember what Biden has already done for this country. I don’t agree with his Israeli stance and a few other things but he has accomplished so much! His NATO press conference was awesome. It is time for Harris!! This campaign comes down to a prosecutor V a felon.  Aaron Sorkin thought we should have Mitt Romney. WTF?? Get out of here with that strategy. Trump loses to lawyers, she is perfect! The right is already spewing nonsense about her. They think she will take their straws and cows. I expect more racist and misogynistic remarks. The right does not even seem to know how to try to be politically correct. It will be sad and infuriating and scary and hilarious to watch them try. The people who idolize the serial cheater have already thrown out the theory that she slept her way to the top. Ugh!! But the facts look good for the Dems right now. Crime is down, economy is good and border crossings are down. James Carville thinks she should concentrate on corporations and price fixing.  

***** 

What? Fox news thinks voting for a woman is like transitioning? Is that true? 

***** 

One of the best interviews ever with Trump at the National Association of Black Journalists. Harris happened to turn black. - Trump 

***** 

Pete Davidson has checked into a wellness facility. 

***** 

I have to laugh when the uninformed say Harris is ignorant and has never done anything. Those being interviewed don’t seem like they themselves have been Senators, AG’s, prosecutors or Vice Presidents but perhaps they have. In a world where a woman usually works twice as hard to rise up the ladder, she is more than qualified. Serious, compassionate, fun, smart check ,check, check, check. Go girl power!! The same uninformed wonder why we can jump on her bandwagon so quickly. That is indeed the difference in being informed or not. We know her already; we pay attention. Her team is in place with a few adjustments and we have been waiting for this. She seems tailor made for this moment. The right place and the right time and history can just make these things happen. It takes a leap of faith to get where we want to be and this is it. Many great moments have come from the right person just jumping in where and when they are needed. When we see a moment, we must take it!! And, it may seem superficial but she has a wonderful smile, a great laugh and America needs a warm hug right now. I mean, Trump never smiles or laughs. 

***** 

WE ARE NOT GOING BACK!!!- Kamala Harris ** We want to ban assault weapons. They want to ban books. -Harris ** Steph Curry endorsed Harris at the Olympics. ** Kamala Harris was a hit at Comic Con after an old clip of her reading a Simpson’s quote was played. Apparently, a few years ago, Groenig and co. were looking for a politician to play along and read the quote and she was glad to do it. ** And Maya Rudolph has agreed to come back this fall on SNL which premieres Sept. 28. 

***** 

Everybody used to say, “If you only knew the Hillary that I knew.” and now they are saying the same about Kamala. Ok, let’s get to know her, give her a chance. This is an opportunity we can’t pass up. 

***** 

Trump was almost killed in an assassination attempt in Butler, Pa. The venom still spews as some wonder if this was planned by his team. We must all condemn the violence, whether it be Paul Pelosi, Gretchen Whitmer or Trump.  The shooter, Thomas Crooks was killed but he murdered a rally goer. Why is it usually young, white men who turn out to be the shooter? The people who seem to have life the easiest in this country are the most disgruntled. It was a strange scene after as the Trumpers looked so sad in all their shiny regalia. It seems the loose gun laws make the Policeman’s job even harder. Russia blamed Biden’s rhetoric for the disaster, of course. Biden called Trump right away to send well wishes and told us “This is not America.” I am afraid that it is kind of us now. The Daily Show cancelled the coverage they were going to have at the RNC. The RNC came and went with fans like Kid Rock, Amber Rose and Hulk Hogan. Nikki Haley and Ron Desantis kissed some ass. Matt Gaetz and Kevin McCarthy got into it on the RNC floor. The new VP pick, JD Vance wrote Hillbilly Elegy and is a bit too Martin Sheen in Dead Zone. He makes no bones about his love of Russia. He has openly said he does not care about Ukraine. Vance’s wife, Usha was a law clerk for Chief Justice Roberts and Brett Kavanaugh. She now works for the law firm, Munger, Tolles and Olson. Some Republicans are openly unhappy about his wife being the daughter if Indian immigrants. Some seem to disagree with the Vance pic altogether. Word is that Trump is a bit troubled at the way we are mocking his VP choice. Is he the only one who can really get away with politically incorrect? Does he not see that we mock him all the time? Is this Palin all over again? In the end, this just gives Trump someone else to blame. A VP pick for his team must know they are replaceable. ** Trump gave the longest acceptance speech ever at 90 minutes. For the first time, a teamster addressed the republican convention. There were no former Presidents or vice Presidents there. They mostly claimed they were not interested at all. That tells you everything you need to know. Why do they love a cover up so much? Don’t they have better things to do than make shit up? * *Kim Cheatle, boss in the Secret Service, has resigned.  

***** 

The Secret Service was grilled by senators. The acting director is Ronald Rowe. Josh Hawley is such an arrogant prick Do these people think if they ask the same question a thousand times, the answer will change? All agreed it has been 17 days since the incident but some think all the answers should be ready. Secret Service believe they need time to investigate so they can reach a proper conclusion. There is a process! I’m not even sure why they are being questioned before this was completed. It is sort of a waste of time. I do wonder why the site was even approved. As much as the Republicans love this ‘fired’ thing, we can’t go willy nilly into firing everyone until we know exactly what happened. I suppose a lot of future assassins are learning a lot from these hearings. ** Somebody’s got to be fired. - L. Graham ** Graham seemed to court the conspiratorial side of the story. ** On the other end, it seems we usually hear so much about the shooter and their family but that has been sort of quiet. It was alarming to hear local officials thought the shooter seemed suspicious for 90 minutes or so. Secret Service was told about him 30 minutes or so before he was killed. There are probably lots of suspicious characters at these events so it has to be a tough job. And I was with this Rowe person all the way until he said, this was a “failure of imagination”. He couldn’t imagine someone really doing this. What? Isn’t that your job?? 

***** 

The Republican party has nominated The Angry Ticket. Trump/ Vance sounds like a new sitcom, America’s Hitler and the hillbilly. ** Starbucks is providing coffee for both conventions’ first responders. They have made no donations to the RNC. ** Trump is running for his freedom and money. - Al Sharpton ** He’s fighting for his freedom. She is fighting for ours. - Nicole Wallace ** To see Stephen Miller and the rest having meltdowns over Harris is beautiful. They do not seem to know how the system works. Shit happens and this was not a big plan. If it were? Hooray for the strategy and forward thinking on stepping aside and putting a black woman in the top spot.  

***** 

The press reported that Elon Musk donated $180 mil to the Trump campaign. Musk claims the donation was much lower. Who fucking knows. ** Trump claims that he will take care of this pesky voting thing in 4 years. “It’ll be fixed, it’ll be fine. You won’t have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians.” -Trump 

***** 

Re: JD Vance... I’ve never seen someone with more couch fucker energy. - John Oliver 

***** 

Saboteurs struck rail lines outside Paris before the start of the Olympics. 

***** 

Boeing is looking deeper into their forgery’s investigation. 

*****

*****

***** 

Video game performers went on strike. 

***** 

Fred Trump III has a book out, All in the Family: The Trump’s how we got this way. He claims his Uncle Donald seems to hold the belief that handicapped people have too many problems. “Those people, the shape they’re in, all the expenses, maybe those kinds of people should just die.”  - Donald Trump at a WH meeting with his nephew, Doctors and handicap advocates.* * Scary Clown 45 told Netanyahu that if he loses, there will be a third world war. 

***** 

The U.S. arrested El Mayo AKA Ismael Zambada and El Chapo’s son, Joaquin Guzman. 

***** 

Babies are good because we’re not sociopaths. - JD Vance 

***** 

Paul Dans, director of Project 2025 has stepped down. Trump still claims he knows nothing about the ‘project’. About 140 former members of the Trump administration are a part of Project 2025. 

***** 

Tim Burchett should resign.

***** 

Wiz Khalifa was arrested in Romania for smoking weed on stage. ** Viking Jordan Addison arrested on a DUI charge. 

***** 

All we need to prove what idiots are in the world is the reaction to the not the Last Supper display in the Olympics opening ceremony. Some got their panties in a bunch and it turns out they did not know what they were talking about. Da Vinci would have loved it! ** Flavor Flav has been financing the U.S. Women’s water polo team. 

***** 

Why do films make serial killers look slicker and better looking as time goes on? The first movie is usually heavy on their grossness but by the 3rd or so in a famous case, the maniac is kind of cute. 

***** 

CBS is bringing Matlock to a new generation. The name and the profession is the only link to its past. Kathy Bates will play Madeline Matlock when the show premieres on Sept. 22. The show also stars Jason Ritter and Skye P. Marchall. 

***** 

When 6 men out of a thousand crack the whip over their fellows backs, then what the other 994 dupes need is a new deal. - Mark Twain

***** 

Weston Coppola Cage was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon and released on $150,000 bond. 

***** 

I’m not the conspiracy kind but did Trump pay Biden off to give that debate performance? When the ABC interview showed us the same and then Clooney writes a letter of concern and states that Biden was showing his age at the fundraiser he attended, it starts to add up. ** It seems we owed Biden a bit of latitude after the ridiculous nonsense that Trump spouts but the Dems do not blindly think with cult mentality the way the right seems to do. Trump is great at saving his own ass too. Just think what he could achieve if he gave a damn about anything the way he does about himself. ** Why do so many fight progress every step of the way? The constant egotistical, big $ racism should be well over by now. Slavery- reconstruction- voting rights- the Klan- civil rights- MAGA nation is all just Generational hate.  

***** 

The National Rally in France is being investigated for embezzlement, forgery and fraud. The charges stem from the 2022 Presidential election. In the recent European Parliament elections, Ms. LePen’s far right party came in third. 

***** 

Benjamin Netanyahu spoke to a joint session of congress. After months of trying to find a way to end the war in Gaza, VP Harris skipped the speech.

(Martin), Dick Van Dyke 98 years of magic and Conan O’Brien Must Go. Baby Reindeer, Shogun and the Bear got lots of love. 

***** 

Victims of the Jan. 6 mob are not happy with the Supreme Court. They feel re-traumatized. Why so much deference for the criminals? I suppose most of the Supreme Court don’t remember they are supposed to do the right thing. So many of them appear to be corrupt and birds of a feather... well, you know. ** Jay Johnson pled guilty to participating in the riot. 

***** 

The Biden age thing was a big fat mess. In some polls, Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton were both polling better than Trump. In some polls Trump and Biden are neck and neck and in some, Trump was winning. The polls told us nothing in 2016 so I don’t really trust them but it did give one pause. The talkers are putting up candidates. Bill Maher always seems to have a hard on for Gavin Newsom. I don’t really think the rest of America would like him much. Harirs/ Buttigieg sounds good or Harris/ Pritzker. I could live with those.

Cheviot and Bert the fire chief

This was chapter 14 of a family history I sent to relatives. It is revised in some respects. In order to tell more of a story, it is reprinted here. Originally posted on WordPress in September 2018.

When we last left off, RBM I had died and was buried in Spring Grove Cemetery. In order to tell the full story, it is worth having a whole chapter devoted to his adopted son Bert, RBM II. Growing up and groomed for the hotel business as mentioned in the last chapter, he wanted to make something of himself. This was clear in his letter from the Hotel Sterling on December 22, 1901, asking Santa for a magic lantern, candy, a track, and some wheels for a train. He also wished for some books and games. As noted by RBM III, Bert suffered in comparison to his natural-born brother, Stanley. A postcard since lost shows him standing behind a counter in a hotel lobby in Des Moines. At the age of 16, in 1907, when he was trying to free a corn cob caught in the machinery, he suffered an amputation, which stayed with him for the rest of his life, of 4 fingers. Even with this injury, he enlisted in the U.S. Army ten years later. He served in World War I as a sergeant in a motor pool as part of the Motor Transport Corps (1918 to 1919), a vital part of the American Expeditionary Forces in Europe by managing “the Army’s new fleet of trucks.” [1] After the war, he served as an auto mechanic in a Fort Motor Company garage on 3431 Harrison Avenue in Cheviot. This contrasted with RBM I’s aspirations that he should be a hotel manager.

By 1920, living in Cincinnati on 15 Woodburn Avenue, he had further spurned his father. [2] While his father was still a hotel manager, he was an automobile salesman, with his mother Hattie having only her “domestic” duties and his brother, effectively, Stanley, having no occupation listed. In the same house, likely another hotel, were two other families, the Kaennegler and Shoebottom families. It was around this time that he began serving as a volunteer firefighter and attending services at the 81-year-old Ebenezer Methodist church (since been torn down) in Mack, Ohio, on the corner of Bridgetown and Ebenezer Roads, not far from Cheviot. It was there that he met Miriam Esther Hirst, the daughter of the minister of the church, William Norwood Hirst. Born on June 4, 1899 on 4140 Lakeman Street in Cincinnati, Miriam went with her father and mother (Mabel Blanche Dunn) on route to Capetown, South Africa in November 1900 because William Hirst was asked to serve on a mission in Southern Africa. [3] From 1900 to June 1905, the family lived in Cape Town, then Johannesburg, and arrived in Mount. Selinda in present-day southern Zimbabwe, arriving home in November 1911. On June 25, 1921, Miriam and Bert were married at Madisonville Methodist Episcopal church by a minister named O.J. Laward, with a reception afterward at 4630 Castle Place Madisonville.

In 1918, Bert would begin working as a volunteer firefighter in Cheviot, Ohio. It would be years until he would be paid for his services as he stayed in poverty. Many years later, in 1932, he would became the fire chief of Cheviot, an occupation he held until 1954 when he suffered a stroke when he while fighting a fire. [4] The town still recognizes as him as “first Fire Chief.” He had gone a different way than his father. Meanwhile, Stanley was living at the Grand Hotel with Hattie and his father. Of those at the hotel, the average age of the four boarders was about 44 years old, while for the seven lodgers the average was about 51 years old and for the seven guests it was about 70 years old.

In 1930, the census incorrectly described Bert as an insurance agent, but correctly noted that he had two children with Miriam by that point: a five-year-old son named RBM III (Robert Byron Mills III) and eight-month-old daughter named Helen. [5] They were living on 333 Roswell Avenue and within Green Township. RBM III, called Bob in the rest of this book, was born on June 5, 1924, while his sister Helen Eileen, was born on August 5, 1929. Bert would also help found the Green Township Volunteer Fire Association and was active, as Bob notes, in promoting mutual assistance compacts with neighboring fire companies. In 1934, Stanley died unmarried at the age of 33. Little else is known about his life, other than the fact that he died of nephritis caused by enteritis. There is some talk in the family about him being a “fairy,” or homosexual, as it was termed then. If this was the case, then it would add a new dimension to his story.

Putting Stanley aside, we know, thanks to Bob’s picture book, what the Mills family looked like circa 1932 or 1933 since Carol Ruth was born on October 1930:

This photograph was set before a series of photos showing a family trip to Washington, D.C. in this 1929 Graham-Paige, the car of a U.S. auto company which had been founded two years earlier by brothers Joseph A. Graham, Robert C. Graham, and Roy A. Graham. Other photographs in his picture book show the close family ties between the Hirst and Mills families, with no Packards to be found, along with other extended family members. [6] Other photos within The Packard/Mills Family History add some information, such as one showing Bob on RBM I’s favorite horse, Rocket in about 1937, and another noting how Bob learned to chin himself up from the ladders extending behind a fire truck which is shown in his family history.

A photo made available by the City of Cheviot shows the fire truck mentioned on the previous page, with Bert as the tallest person (probably over 5 ft, 9 inches) in the photo, closest to the wheel: [7]

By the 1940s, Bert was living in Cheviot City with his wife Miriam, son Bob, and daughters Helen and Carol. While he was a fire chief, none of the other family members had occupations. [8] In 1945, Bob visited Bert when he was home on leave from his military service. In 1954, he retired, living at 3517 Bruestle Avenue in Cheviot. The same year, Bert’s “quick work” saved someone “in the nick of time from a threatening brush fire.” On April 11, 1956, six years after his adopted father, RBM I, had died, he passed away in his sleep at the age of 64. For five years following, Miriam was troubled with increasing health problems related to diabetes. She died at the home of her youngest sister, Majorie, married to Victor Frame, in Mt. Washington (Cincinnati) on June 18, 1961. She was 62.

RBM I's death was related in the North Adams Transcript in June 1950. He may have also been involved in an accident in 1947. One article seems to state that he was a “retired hotel manager” by 1939. In February 1928, when RBM I was president of the Grand Hotel, he was elected as a park commissioner. Only three years earlier he was noted as the president of the Ohio Hotels' Association. RBM II had previously served one year as a high school cadet, so he had some “military experience” you could say. RBM II’s cousin, William Norwood Hirst, also served in World War I and may have seen more action than RBM II.

Of those living in the Grand Hotel, the majority were born in Ohio, Kentucky or Missouri. Others were born in U.S. states nearby but also from those farther way like Washington state, New York, and Georgia. There were few that were born in areas outside the U.S. including one from Spain and another born in the Atlantic Ocean. Also keep in mind the following definitions of guests, boarders, and lodgers from the Fourth Edition of the Webster's New World College Dictionary: Boarder: "a person who regularly gets meals, or room and means, at another's home for pay" (p. 161). Guest: "visitor...any paying customer of a hotel, restaurant, etc." (p. 631). Lodger: "a person or thing that lodges; esp. one who lives in a rented room in another's home." (p. 843). James Gerard Mc Carty, age 27, was a nephew of RBM I. He was also mentioned in a Supreme Court case (Lane v. United States) for being defrauded by someone claiming they were from a lumber company, a case which he lost. Also see here and here.

He was in the hotel business, serving as a hotel keeper and hotel steward. Nephritis is the “inflammation of the kidney” and enteritis is “inflammation of the small intestine.” See the photo RBM II & Stanley Sterling Mills within the Packard/Mills Family History and one of RBM II & Stanley within Bob’s photo book.

[6] This is interesting considering that the Packard/Mills Family History has a 1940 photograph of John Packard, Charles Packard, and RBM II in a location not currently known.

The obit also says that Bob was interning at Carter Memorial Hospital in Indianapolis in 1956 and that Bert died while living at 3517 Bruestle Avenue. It also notes that Bert was part of the “Firefighters Club of Cheviot and a past treasurer of the Ohio and Indiana Firemen's Association. He was a veteran of World War I and was affiliated with Schwab Post, American Legion, in Cheviot.” Bert was also a poll bearer at the funeral of Nellie Grant Rybolt in 1941, the wife of Clifford H. Hay, former mayor of Cheviot. Also see Gravestones of RBM II, and Miriam Hirst. More information can be gathered about the Mills family from Family Search, Ohio Probate Records, the Hamilton County Genealogical Society, and Hamilton County Probate Court. Bert “been in ill health for seven years” retiring three years before in 1953 after “serving the Cheviot Fire Department for 35 years, the last 21 years as chief,” meaning he became chief in 1935, and had worked with the Cheviot Fire Department since 1921!
