I don’t care what people say, the most important historical event in my lifetime was the discovery and release of the lost Steely Dan tape containing The Second Arrangement

Teenager finds ‘holy grail’ Lego octopus from 1997 spill off Cornwall coast (www.theguardian.com)

The octopus is one of nearly 5m Lego pieces that fell into the sea in 1997 when a storm hit a cargo ship 20 miles off Land’s End, Cornwall. While 352,000 pairs of flippers, 97,500 scuba tanks, and 92,400 swords went overboard, the octopuses are considered the most prized finds as only 4,200 were onboard.

To clarify, the octopus mold itself isn’t particularly rare or expensive. The article refers to this individual piece as a “holy grail” because among the parts of the Cornwall flotsam, the “octopuses are considered the most prized finds as only 4,200 were onboard” in the lost cargo. The family in the article has been scavenging for years to collect the various parts, so this is something that is valuable to their subset of collectors but not really valuable to the typical Lego collector or fan.

Underpaid high school teacher: “Any questions on the lesson?”

Student: “Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?”

Since I expect I’ll have to suffer several members of the conservative hive-mind moaning about this tomorrow, I did some quick research beforehand:

Here is a list of those who are charged.

This video shows the Republicans trying to enter the MI Capitol.

At ~35 seconds in, several people claim to be the state’s electors.

In no particular order, I think I have identified the following:

The woman between the orange beanie and red mitts at 60 seconds looks to me like MI GOP Chair Meshawn Maddock, who is among the charged.

The woman in the bottom left corner of the screen at 3 minutes and 19 seconds in looks to me like Michele Lundgren, a GOP former nominee for a House seat in Detroit which she lost in a major landslide, who is among the charged.

The woman near the bottom right of the screen at 3 minutes and 7 seconds in looks to me like MI GOP Vice chairperson Marian Sheridan, who is among the charged.

Papa Smurf on the left at 1 minute and 1 second looks to me like GOP member Ken Thompson, who is among the charged.

The woman in the bottom left at 1 second in looks to me like GOP member Rose Rook, who is among the charged.

Steely Dan - The Second Arrangement; cassette tape of original recordings presumed lost for 40 years (m.youtube.com)

This tape was originally owned by recording engineer Roger Nichols and recently played and released by his daughter Cimcie. Infamously, an original mix of “The Second Arrangement” was accidentally erased by a studio worker and re-recording was ultimately abandoned despite the song having huge hit potential.
