The #Founders ' biggest mistake was worrying only about a monarchical tyrant, and assuming that #tradition, #honor, #enlightenment, #voters, and/or #shame would keep #dolts like #Tuberville from breaking the #government.

Unfortunately, the #GOP #conservatives care nothing for tradition, their honor is performative, they equate enlightenment with "woke," they think shame is a way to attack their opponents, and their voters in our binary system keep returning them to DC.

2. "gajawadana beduwe" by K.J. Yesudas

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pRzJwhnpKAM

"gajawadana" conjugates the words gaja (गज elephant) and wadana (वदन face) to simply mean "elephant face".

"beduwe" (ಬೇಡುವೆ) is a Kannada word to mean "I plead."

Together, "gajawadana beduwe" means "I plead/appeal to the one with elephant face".

To end, here are Carnatic renderings of two popular songs on Ganesha:

1. "lambodara lakumikara" by S. Janaki
(the first song a student of Carnatic music learns)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqZQdryENoo

"lambodara" combines lamba (लम्ब) and udara (उदर) to mean "large belly".

"lakumikara" conjugates "lakumi" a Kannada aberration of Sanskrit "lakshmi" (लक्ष्मी wealth in this context) and "kara" (कर creator).

Naturally, there are many variations of this story, and it seems the story changes a bit each time it is told, but the essence remains. Also, there are many holes in the story.

However, regardless of the detail, it is important to learn and enjoy the essence, and if you can, enjoy some of the food as well. 😀

BTW the traditional dish for this day is "modaka" (मोदक)

Shiva transplants the elephant head onto the boy, resurrects him, and accepts him as a son. Recognizing the boy's courage and determination, Shiva also makes the boy the head of the gaNa.

And that is how the boy gets an elephant head and also comes to be known as Ganesha: gaNa (troops) + eesha (chief, lord).

Shiva calms down after a while and agrees to restore the boy's life. He asks his troops (गण gaNa) to bring him the head of the first being that is sleeping with its head to North.

The troops happen on an elephant asleep with its head to North and promptly bring back its head.

Irked, Shiva insists he be let in and demands that if the boy is indeed Paarwathi's son, then he should abide by the father as well. But the boy stands his ground.

Shiva is now super angry and chops off the boy's head with his trademark trident.

Hearing the boy's cry, Paarwathi comes out running and sees her son dead. She argues Shiva should have seen the boy was only doing as told and pleads his life be restored.

It just so happens that Shiva stops by to see Paarwathi, and the vigilant boy stops him too. Shiva politely but firmly informs the boy that he is Shiva, the lord of everything, and BTW also Paarwathi's husband.

The boy acknowledges Shiva but still denies him entry because his mother has ordered that *no one* should be allowed in.

On to the myth:

One day, Shiva's consort Paarwathi (पार्वति) is bathing and makes a figure of a very young boy [think about 10] from her bodily impurity [remember, myth] and breathes life into the figure. She then asks the boy to guard the bathroom door and not let *anyone* in.

The boy stands guard at the door and dutifully shoos away everyone that comes looking for his "mother".

Second, about the name: In Sanskrit, the word Ganesha (गणेश gNaesha, N is hard nasal) is a combination of two words:

गण (gaNa) which means band/army (of troops)
ईश (eesha) which means lord/chief

गण + ईश = गणेश by the grammar rule named "guNa sandhi" (गुणसन्धि )

But first, Ganesha Chaturthi is a rare Hindu holiday observed pretty much all over India, on the same day. However, it is observed with the most fervor in the western state of Maharashtra. If you're ever there late Aug-mid Sep, I highly recommend visiting "Ganesh pendaals", especially in/around Mumbai and Pune. There will be at least one organized installation in every neighborhood.

Today is "Ganesha Chaturthi", a Hindu holiday observing the birth of Lord Ganesha, the Hindu god with the iconic elephant head. Best wishes to all who observe the day.

If you don't know and are interested, here is the myth behind why Ganesha is named so and has an elephant head: 🧵

#Baehr and #Thiel lamented what they saw as the fragmented state of conservative networks, with their hidebound think tanks and intellectual centers that hold sway over right-of-center politics.

A rare bright spot on their side, Baehr and Thiel agreed, was the #FederalistSociety. Thiel had, in fact, served as president of the Stanford Federalist Society.

What if there were a group similar to the Federalist Society for #venture #capitalists or corporate #CEOs or members of the #media?

In 2008, Baehr, Hawley and others launched #Teneo — Latin for “I grasp" or “I endure.”

Hawley, then an associate lawyer in private practice, authored Teneo’s founding principles, according to the new member talk hosted by Baehr, and served on the group’s board.

Its core beliefs align with the broader conservative establishment’s: #limited government, #individual liberty, #free enterprise, #strong national defense and #civil society and belief in a “#transcendent order” that is “founded in #tradition, #philosophy, or #theology.”

Aber weil "#Tradition" ja so wichtig ist, "müssen" sie unbedingt Wein machen. 🤦

"Tradition" ist Gruppenzwang durch tote Menschen. Und #Kapitalismus ist so ein bescheuertes System. Die Verherrlichung von alkoholischen Getränken ist Symptom des #Patriarchat's.

#Tradition and the #LindyEffect are descriptive, not prescriptive, observations.

Things stick around for lots of reasons, good and bad — including, but not limited to: coercion, fear, inertia, ossification, taboo, chance, network effects, market failures, sunk costs…

Lots of wrong ideas, unhealthy habits and abhorrent behaviours are “old”.

Old ≠ good.

I placed the winning bid for this wool rug at the Navajo rug auction in Crownpoint, NM. It is about 26" wide by 30" tall and was hand-woven by Helen Kaye of Blue Gap, AZ.

The Crownpoint Rug Auction has been providing an opportunity for Navajo weavers to sell their beautiful rugs (and other crafts) to the public since 1964.

Growing up Russell Wallace lived in the Mt. Pleasant area of Vancouver’s Eastside.

He was the youngest of Flora and Ray Wallace’s 11 children. That home overflowed with singing, with his mom Flora teaching her children Salish songs and stressing the importance of preserving them.

Now Russell is passing along those teachings in workshops at the CREATE! Arts Festival in Vancouver on July 22.

We had our official first meal in the new house. Fresh homemade bread with olive oil, salt, and honey, and some wine. It's a tradition for me to bless a home that way.

Bread, so there will never be hunger. Salt, so life always has flavor. Honey, so life is always sweet. Olive oil, that there is richness and prosperity. And wine, so there is plentiful joy and celebration.

Bret Victor's "Future of Computing" talk is approaching its 10th birthday, so here it is for folks who may have missed it first time around: https://invidious.zapashcanon.fr/watch?v=8pTEmbeENF4

> The '60s and early '70s were a fertile time for #computerscience ideas, reminds Victor, but even more importantly, it was a time of unfettered thinking, unconstrained by programming #dogma, #authority, and #tradition. 'The most dangerous thought that you can have as a #creative person is to think that you know what you're doing,' explains Victor. 'Because once you think you know what you're doing you stop looking around for other ways of doing things and you stop being able to see other ways of doing things. You become blind.' He concludes, 'I think you have to say: "We don't know what programming is. We don't know what computing is. We don't even know what a computer is." And once you truly understand that, and once you truly believe that, then you're free, and you can think anything.'"

I love the way traditional or vernacular architecture tells you about the local landscape and geology. In my native Berkshire, many buildings are built with warm, orange bricks made from the beautiful Thames Valley clay. I don’t live in the county any more but I feel emotionally connected to those colours and textures. This is a bit of embroidery I’m working on whilst mulling that all over.

"It turns out that Jewish tradition is actually Jewish traditions, Jewish thought is Jewish thoughts, Jewish practice is Jewish practices, Jewish community is Jewish communities; this is the way it has always been, from proto-Jewish biblical times to the postmodern present."

- From Jonathan L. Friedmann and Joel Gereboff in this upcoming book:

Show any Kiwi anywhere in the world this poster and it will elicit 3 reactions:

1: Depending on where you are:
- INSIDE NZ: "Ha ha ha, d'ya know that poster is in every fish & chip shop in New Zealand."
- OUTSIDE NZ: "Wow, that takes me back."

2: "So you know that the best fish & chips is from [FILL IN NAME]. Best evah!"

3: "I can't remember the last time I had proper fish and chips!"

Since the 1950's, Jewish day school children in America have competed to sell Barton's chocolate door-to-door as a fundraiser for their schools. Barton's has become a favorite Passover tradition for many families across the country. Now you can continue this tradition by buying chocolate online from my son!

Sorry for the screengrab of a tweet, but this is delightful. I cannot help but read this in Iliza Schlesinger's Ye Olde Pharmacy Witch voice. For reference: https://youtu.be/Spe6jECUZfQ

Comrie Pipe Band leading the Flambeaux around the village at the start of 2023. It was snowing heavily, adding to the atmosphere. #Scotland #Hogmanay #NewYear #snow #fire #tradition #Perthshire

Kilted players of Comrie Pipe Band, with blue fairy lights on their chanters, marching through a crowded nighttime street with a dozen tall blazing torches following in the background.

Ich denke Jean Jaurès hatte Recht - #Tradition ist keine 'Denkfaulheit', sondern das aktive Auseinandersetzen mit individuellen Werten. Und das kann fordernd sein.

@sixtus
'Tradition' ist nicht das Anbeten der Asche. Tradition ist die Weitergabe des Feuers....

(Jean Jaurès)

Und dann ist #Tradition keine Denkfaulheit.

Some thoughts about midwinter (6)

Perhaps you’ll take a moment to observe the darkness, remember the light, and look forward with hope.
Whatever it means to you, Merry Midwinter, friends.

In Finnish/Nordic tradition Santa is a late import. Instead merry old Father Christmas we used to have the Yule Goat, a trickster and a fertility figure. 😁 Even now many Finns sport these straw goats in their homes come Yule time.

Kuuluuko muiden jouluun olkipukit? Mulla on ollut tämä jo pian parikymmentä vuotta. Vähän viikset rapisseet, mutta muuten kunnossa. 😁

Mites himmelit? (Mä tein ennen himmeleitä, mutta nyt en ole ihan varma, mistä saisi olkia.)

I just wanted to share my silly #Hanukkah #tradition. Every year I make a different recipe from the #JewishDiaspora every night and to prepare I make a snacks board.

This year I'm making recipes from Spain, California, Mexico, Romania, Yemen, Italy, North Africa and Cuba.

A cork board featuring yellow paper cutouts of a Hanukkah menorah, anice donuts, bunuelos, kimchi latkes, papanasi, malawach, sfinj, fried chicken and tostones.

Some of you mentioned #Krampusnacht yesterday, but, when I lived in Germany/Bavaria, it always occurred on the 6th. And it's not called Krampusnacht, it's called Klausentreiben. I've written an article about it for The American Bystander magazine, which should be out soon (my photos below).

Klausen about to attack me with a whipping cane. He's enormous, furry, horned; like an evil pagan polar bear with an enormous cowbell around its waist.

I’m new to mastodon and it’s traditions so I clicked on #latelatetoyshow assuming this was some of sex toy show and tell.

I feel like a big perv but it was an honest mistake

How was I supposed to know 😭

Thinking about #thanksgiving #tradition, great TV episodes come to mind: Mad About You "Giblets for Murray" and West Wing "Indians in the Lobby" and "Shibboleth" most prominently.

I also view it very much as an #eXvangelical project, an effort to take the 'teeth' out of toxic, harmful, (and dare I say, colonialist, white supremacist) Christianity.

I use an #Anglican framework, because I find its structures useful, (for example liturgy, the liturgical year, and its emphasis on #tradition.)

It is inevitably a #WorkInProgress, I have no idea if #HumanisticChristianity will catch on, it may not, but for me it is a kind of #therapy, working through it all.

A Muslim American Reflects on the 100th Anniversary of the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution

"Despite this rich and substantial gender equity tradition in Islam, Muslim women today suffer discrimination, abuse, and marginalization in Muslim communities."
