was communicated to me by (the Rev'd) Mrs McMurray of C. W. Dumbar The following love story of an Odjibway girl ^ it is founded on a historical incident in the ward of Canada. In 1759 Baigwaineoshee, (the White Eagle driven by the wind,) accompanied as far as the lake of Two Mountains, a party of her tribe, who descended the Utawas to aid Gen Montcalm in the defense of Quebec. While there, she received attentions from a young Algonquin, who, however, never fully declared himself. The attachment was mutual, and continued after her return to the south, where she continued to pour out her affections in these strains, which she composed to an Indian chant and often repeated. A grand niece of hers, thus heard the song, and by [?] frequent re- petition learned it. The term Odishquagumee, meaning a man at the lake of two mountains, or as it [?] literally ? at the end of the chain of water, is the Ojibwe term for an Algonquin. Ia indenaindum - ia indenaindum! Makow we yan ninemooshain wee Odishquagumee [Ah me - ah me! when I think of him - when I bring him to mind, my sweetheart, Odishquagumee, or the Algonquin] Pah bojeaun nebe naubekonig Waube megissun nenemooshain wee Odishquagumee [As I embarked he put the white wampum around my neck, my sweet heart, Odishquagumee] Keguh wejeewin aindah nuk ke yun Neen ge- egobun, ne nenemooshai wee Odishquagumee [I ^ shall go with you, he said, to your native country - I will go with you, ^ he said, my sweet heart - Odishquagumee.]

Nia !nin denau dush, wassahwud gushuh Aindunukkeyaum ke y au neememooshain wee Odishquagummee [Oh, I said to him - it is far away - my native country, my sweetheart, Odishquagumee.] Kai aubik oween, ain aube aunin Kewe naube, ne nemooshai wee Odishquag ummee. [When I [would] looked back again, he would still be looking after me, my sweetheart, Odishquagumee] Apee nay we ne nebow wisheban Aung wash agushing, ne nemooshai wee Odishquagumee [^When he was still standing on a fallen tree, that laid in ^ that had fallen the water, my sweetheart, Odishquagumee] Nyau indenain dum - nyau indenaindum! Makow we yan nin de nain dum we Odishquagumee, [Alas! alas! when I think of him - when I [bring his image to mind] think of him - my sweetheart - Odishquagumee.]

!!! Just found this transcription and translation of a love song by an Ojibwe woman who fell in love with an Algonquin man while traveling near Deux-Montagnes, QC in 1759 during the 7 Years War. I can't quite interpret her name, it looks like Baigwaineoshee "The White Eagle Driven by the Wind"

hope the editor who had Asimov interview Alf got a promotion

I had never heard of this movie until today, and this cast is loaded but the plot, as summarized by Wikipedia, makes no sense at all to me.

Still. Kristofferson! Landau! Loggia! Caan! Two Sorvinos!

and Eric Roberts, of course.

Went to the grocery with a list, but no pen, and still somehow forgot about two items until I was at the cashier.

Got them, but, man, you'd think my head would be sounder than that on a Friday afternoon.

Oh man, I forgot Pirates!

“Invade Iran and a great empire will fall!”

“Cool, thanks, oraclio!”

I've exchanged messages with the authors, and it's all pretty much basic strategy. And they also did not have a lot of time to write it, IIRC.

Yeah, this looks very much my jam.

I have that book, too!

My nine games. But, like all lists, you ask me next week and you get a different nine. These are fun to do, but variable with my mood. my9games.com

I have bought too many of these plushie platypi. They are really nice.

The Emperor has arrived.
Inspired by Crusader Kings III: All Under Heaven, this noble Emperor Platypus stands robed in dynastic splendor, a ruler worthy of any throne room.

Now, two loyal subjects shall have a chance to claim him.

Love to send blind emails like "You don't know me, but I know your work etc..." and to get an enthusiastic reply back offering to help with our little thing.

Great way to end the week.

Funny thing, I googled the name of this type of shelf and the top result was a 15 dollar guide on how to build one.

So this might be a popular solution.

Today, the internet showed me the perfect shelf, but it is $2300 and there is also no way it will go up my stairs.

Once I am done my morning edits and everyone at HQ has gone home for the weekend, I need to give my office a good cleaning and sorting.

My files are a bit of a mess, but that is a weekend job, aside from getting all the tax docs out. Floors and surfaces, today. Maybe take some measurements.

Names of Athenian Triremes: Investigating Group Cohesiveness and Social Identity in the Athenian Navy of the 4th Century BC - Journal of Maritime Archaeology The set of inscriptions known as the Naval Inventories of Athens (IG II2 1604–IG II2 1632) provide a wealth of information regarding the state of the Athenian navy in the fourth century BC.

I guess I didn’t wake up thinking I needed to know the names of the 279 named triremes ⛵️in the 4th century BCE Athenian navy, but it appears we all do. link.springer.com/article/10.1... I do like that 3.58% had animal names like Λεοντῆ (lion skin) and Λέαινα (lioness). Greek epigraphy is fun! 🪦

Kalshi employees "kind of understand that without the tweets and the streamers and all of the social-media stuff that the traders do for them, usually just for free, their marketing would be a lot harder," said Jack Campion, 20, a junior at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a Kalshi affiliate. In September, Kalshi briefly signed up a 15-year-old videogame streamer who goes by vertid online to promote its brand on X as an affiliate. A week later, Kalshi ended the partnership. "Yo brother, legal team confirmed that we can't work with minors rn," a Kalshi employee wrote to the user in messages reviewed by the Journal. "Kinda sad tbh."

adventure games from the 80s were intentionally designed to be tricky, mean and occasionally counterintuitive so that you could get stuck for long periods of time. this was called “value for your dollar”

Is this a promise? I am very tired of events.

It has been a very rough last few weeks, and I’m glad this one is almost over. Some things to look forward to next week, but also other stressful things.

I need to think about a mini-vacation. And baseball.

None of these people know anything. I am very tired.

lol what?

More and more, it feels like the lack of dangerous opposition is allowing Doug to be his most Doug-like self, which is to say, someone who once proposed a Ferris Wheel and a monorail for the Toronto Portlands
