Heap o'Links Aug 24, 2020

Background: For many years, I kept up with a news links page, not original Mindful Webworks, but on this site. (Blog Heap o'Links archive) Last entry was in January, 2019. I started three blogs. "Other People's Stuff" started off with all kinds of stuff, but quickly became mostly for cat videos and similarly soft subjects. Spun off from that blog was "Other People's Videos," for videos of all sorts. Lastly, I created "Heap o'Links," for non-video news, politics, and other hard subjects. On August 19, I dropped all three blogs due to intolerable changes in the WordPress creator interface. All of those blogs' past content is still available at those links.

Foreground: At the risk of cluttering this "my stuff" site with "other people's stuff," I'm going to post a bunch of links that have no home now. Most of them would be h/t to posters and commenters on Ace of Spades, but I neglected to keep track, since I thought I'd quit blogging.

  At 23:15 in the video Joe garbles his line: "There's never been anything we've been able to accomplish, when we do it together." I've listened closely with the volume up, thinking maybe he just failed to enunciate the "un-" in unable, but, nope.

• Did Joe Biden really deliver that speech live? Probably not — Patricia McCarthy, American Thinker "It's a near certainty that the speech was pieced together from numerous takes to edit out all his flubs — made even while he's reading from a teleprompter. In short, Biden's speech was most likely some elementary Hollywood magic — just as phony as his hair, his teeth, and his 'moderation.'"
