Carol Tannenhauser: "A Q&A With Upper West Sider Paul Krugman: On Commercial Vacancies, Why Tall Buildings Are Good and Robert Moses Wasn't So Terrible" (West Side Rag) WSR: Do you think Trump will make it to the debate stage, to the election? Do you think there's any chance he'll be removed from office?
PK: Again, God knows. But, so far, no one has gone wrong by underestimating the commitment to principle of Republicans in the Senate. They've always lived down to our worst expectations. The odds that they would convict are extremely low.
WSR: You sound very distressed.
PK: Oh, this is scary as hell. The idea that we could lose our democracy, not ten years from now, but a year and a half from now, is very real to me.

"THERE IS NO LAW!" [Trump] elaborated. "THERE IS NO MORALITY! THE OLD GODS ARE DEAD! I HAVE KILLED THEM! FAITH IS HYPOCRISY! WHEN THE STORM CEASES, I WILL BE ALL THAT REMAINS! I AM LAW UNTO MYSELF! AFTER ME IS NOTHING AND BEFORE ME WAS NOTHING! THERE WILL BE NO JUDGMENT! THERE WILL BE NO REDEMPTION! NO ONE IS COMING FOR YOU!" Several Republican senators went on TV and confirmed, "He wouldn't be this brazen about something if it were actually illegal, right? I mean, right?"
Mary Beard: Telling a book by its spine (TLS)
For all the faffing about the cover, I don't think most of us think about the spines. But today a friend tweeted that he had been unpacking his library and was announcing my SPQR as the most visible spine on his shelves (and indeed, in the pics, it really looked so).
Mary Beard: Pan and the Goat (TLS)
One of the modern popular favourites amongst the Roman sculpture discovered at Pompeii and Herculaneum is a raunchy piece depicting the sex-crazed god Pan making love to a female goat. The curiously human position of the copulation has always intrigued, as well as the fact that it was prominently displayed in the so-called Villa of the Papyri at Herculaneum. What did it mean? Was it some kind of expensive joke? Or a more elegant meditation on the nature of sexuality?

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, legally Koninklijke Luchtvaart Maatschappij N.V. (literal translation: Royal Aviation Company, Inc.), is the flag carrier airline of the Netherlands. KLM is headquartered in Amstelveen, with its hub at nearby Amsterdam Airport Schiphol. It is part of the Air France-KLM group, and a member of the SkyTeam airline alliance. Founded in 1919, KLM is the oldest airline in the world still operating under its original name and had 35,488 employees and a fleet of 119 (excluding subsidiaries) as of 2015. KLM operates scheduled passenger and cargo services to 145 destinations.

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. KLM went out of business after the German invasion of May 1940 until the end of 1945, when KLM resumed service just a month after the German surrender. Several KLM airplanes and crews were stranded abroad during and after the war started, and 6 planes and crews continued to fly, but for a British airline, during the war. One former KLM passenger plane was attacked three times by the Luftwaffe and the final attack resulted in the loss of all passengers and crew.

KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. Second oldest is Australia's Quantas Airlines. I was at Airventure in Oshkosh, Wisconsin in 1997 (I think) when Qantas flew in with a 747 full of Aussies in full regalia: cargo shorts, Safari shirts and hats pinned up on one side. They stayed for several days then piled back in the 747 and left for home but not before the great big airplane, the Queen of the skies, did a few low passes down the main North/South runway and then pulled up in a mighty climb and were off to the Antipodes straight away. Fun to watch!

• For a while, Michael Sembello, although he preferred jazz, played guitar for Stevie Wonder. A friend got Mr. Sembello to audition by pretending that they were going to a place to jam, but he did mention that Stevie Wonder would be present. When Mr. Sembello found out that it was an audition, he was ready to leave immediately. For one thing, about 200 people were there to audition, and the wait would be very long to play. His friend, however, waited until no one was looking and erased the first five names on the audition list and put his name and Mr. Sembello's name first. Mr. Wonder was going in a different, more jazzy direction at this time, and so Mr. Sembello had an advantage on the other guitarists although they knew the Stevie Wonder catalog of hits. Mr. Sembello remembered, "It was kind of like a game show for guitar players: if you hang in there you got to stay, but if you screw up you were eliminated." Mr. Sembello got to stay. At one point, Mr. Wonder played some songs from an album that had not yet been released, but Mr. Sembello "copped the changes immediately." When Mr. Wonder asked him how he was able to do that, Mr. Sembello replied that he had a good ear. Mr. Wonder asked if he had heard the new album, and Mr. Sembello replied that he had not. Mr. Wonder asked an assistant, "Is the album out yet?" No, it was not. Next question: "How the hell do you know these tunes?" "I don't know the tunes. I'm just guessing where you're gonna go." "You've got the gig." "I didn't come here for no gig - I just came here to jam." Mr. Sembello ended up taking the job. He said about the experience of working for Mr. Wonder, "I had all the technical ability in the world and could play like the fastest guitar player in the West, but he was the one who taught me the most about feel."
• Arthur Whittemore and Jack Lowe became a two-piano team by accident. In 1935, when Arthur was 19 years old and Jack was 18 years old, Arthur's aunt invited him to visit her in Puerto Rico. Arthur wanted his friend Jack to come with him, so he told his aunt that he and Jack were a two-piano team and so Jack had to come, too, so they could continue to practice together. His aunt invited Jack to visit, and she arranged a two-piano concert for Arthur and Jack to play in San Juan, Puerto Rico. As soon as they found out that Arthur's aunt expected them to play a two-piano concert, the two young men immediately began to practice together. They had no music for two pianos, so they transcribed famous musical classics. The concert was so successful that they decided to continue working as a team. This is fortunate for music history because they were so good, and because both were so gregarious that they probably would not have worked as solo piano virtuoso pianists because they would have hated being lonely while traveling on tour. One of their prized possessions was a letter from twentieth-century French composer Francis Poulenc, to whom they had sent a copy of their recording of his Concerto for Two Pianos and Orchestra - the orchestra was the New York Philharmonic, conducted by Leonard Bernstein. Mr. Poulenc wrote, "Your performance of the Concerto, like that of [Vladimir] Horowitz of my Toccata, is the one for posterity."
• Mariah Carey worked hard to become the major musical success she is. When she was a teenager, she got very little sleep. During the day, she worked in a restaurant, and at night she went to a music studio, writing and recording songs until 7 a.m. Then she slept for "a couple of hours," she says, and woke up and did the same thing again. Some of her older musician friends were amazed at what she was doing. They would ask her, "Why are you working so hard?" Ms. Carey says that she knew that they were "loafing about in the middle of the day," and she would think, "Because I don't want to be like you." Her first five singles all reached No. 1 in the United States. She has a bit of a reputation for being a diva, but she says, "I try not to be a jerk. I really do." She also says that rumors about her are just that: rumors. For example, she says, "They said I wouldn't come into a hotel unless there were petals on the floor. I'm like, do you really think at 3 a.m. I give a s**t what I'm walking on?"
Ah ha ha! Have you heard about the idiot scam conservative guys (the same two who tried to smear Mueller and later Buttigieg) Jacob Wohl (he of the unzipped trousers) and Jack Burkman saying that they have a 24-year-old Marine who has been having hot, kinky sex with Elizabeth Warren for months?!
OK, we all know it's a lie. Second, if it were true, more power to her.
As some suggested, she ought to have shirtless Marines carry her out on a litter to her rallies like Billie Jean King's entrance to her match with Bobby Riggs--or pass out copies of the flier accusing her of this affair at all her rallies to get people excited about voting for her. Or still as others said, considering her stamina, it's a miracle she hasn't killed the guy.

The Beatles' "Abbey Road" album has returned to the top of the British album charts 50 years after its first release.
"It's hard to believe that Abbey Road still holds up after all these years. But then again it's a bloody cool album," former Beatle Paul McCartney said in a press release.
Featuring such songs as "Something" and "Come Together", "Abbey Road" was the second-last album released by the Beatles before their acrimonious split, although most of their final release, "Let it Be", was recorded before the "Abbey Road" sessions.
Its initial 17-week run at number one ended on Jan. 31, 1970, and it returns to the top of the charts after a gap of 49 years and 252 days, a feat certified as a Guinness World Record.
The 50th anniversary of "Abbey Road" was marked last month by the release of special deluxe edition.
MSNBC host Rachel Maddow will provide the snarky voice of gossip maven Vesper Fairchild on the CW's new drama Batwoman, which premieres at Sunday at 8 PM and stars Ruby Rose as Bruce Wayne's cousin, Kate Kane, aka the fierce vigilante called Batwoman.
Deadline has confirmed that Maddow will portray Fairchild, a media personality who had a romantic relationship with Batman's alter ego in the pages of DC Comics. Maddow has not filmed any appearances for the show, however, and the plan in place is for her Fairchild portrayal to be a voice-only role. The media personality will be heard (but not seen) as the taunting commentator reaching the city's denizens via radio broadcast or audio-only media.
In the pages of DC Comics, Vesper Fairchild was introduced in 1997 as a love interest for Gotham City's most eligible bachelor. In a 2002 story, after about three dozen appearances, the character was murdered inside Wayne Manor and Bruce Wayne was framed for the crime. Fairchild already has a mention in the Arrowverse continuity that connects five of the CW's DC adaptations (Arrow, Supergirl, The Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, Batwoman); she was alluded to in passing last season on Arrow and cited as a former flame of the title hero, aka Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell).
The host of MSNBC's The Rachel Maddow Show is on a promotional tour for Blowout, her book that came out this week and tops Amazon's nonfiction bestseller list.
Swedish climate campaigner Greta Thunberg has responded with wry humour on Twitter to patronising comments made about her by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The 16-year-old changed her Twitter biography to say "A kind but poorly informed teenager" after Putin described her in these terms at a Moscow forum this week.
US President Don-Old Trump (R-Putin's Bitch) also attempted to crush Thunberg, only for her to use his own words against him.
After her speech at the UN, Trump mocked her tone on Twitter, saying she "seems like a very happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful future."
Thunberg later changed her Twitter biography to read: "A very happy young girl looking forward to a bright and wonderful future."
Indiana officials have approved a new permit relatives of 1930s gangster John Dillinger had sought to exhume his Indianapolis gravesite.
The permit approved Thursday by the Indiana State Department of Health calls for the remains to be exhumed on Dec. 31.
Dillinger's nephew, Michael C. Thompson, applied for the permit last month after he and another relative obtained an earlier permit calling for a Sept. 16 exhumation.
That exhumation did not occur after Crown Hill Cemetery officials objected to the exhumation. Thompson is suing the cemetery, seeking a court order to gain access to the grave.
Thompson has said he has evidence Dillinger's body may not be buried there, and he may not have been the man FBI agents fatally shot outside a Chicago theater in on July 22, 1934.
The Earth just had its warmest September on record, tying a mark set in 2016, according to data released Friday by the Copernicus Climate Change Service, a European group that measures the planet's temperatures.
Globally, September 2019 was roughly 1.02 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than the average from 1981-2010, "making it the warmest September in our data record, although virtually on a par with 2016," the group said in a statement.
"Regions with the most markedly above average temperatures included the central and eastern USA, the Mongolian plateau and parts of the Arctic. Much below average temperatures were only recorded in a few regions, including southwestern Russia and parts of Antarctica," the group said.
The data continues Earth's hot streak, with June being the warmest June ever, and July the warmest month in recorded history, according to AFP. August was the second hottest August since records began. This all contributed to the warmest summer on record for the Northern Hemisphere, according to data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.
Netflix Ads BannedAcross Its Entertainment Networks
Disney
Disney has imposed a ban on advertising for Netflix shows across its entertainment networks, including ABC, FX and Freeform, though ESPN will continue to accept such spots.
The move is a sign of the increasingly competitive times, as the media and tech sectors are engaged in a high-stakes battle for streaming supremacy. Netflix spent nearly $2 billion last year on advertising and, given its $15 billion annual spending on content, will be continuing to promote its wares aggressively. Technology writ large is a major category for the TV business, helping keep traditional networks' $75 billion annual ad haul intact despite headwinds from declining ratings to digital rivals of various kinds.
Disney is launching its own direct-to-consumer service, Disney+, on November 12. Apple will debut its subscription offering, Apple TV+, on November 1. WarnerMedia and NBCUniversal are readying major streaming outlets for launch next spring. In advance of launching Disney+, the parent company has begun pulling back content it had been licensing out to Netflix and other platforms. The first streaming window of Toy Story 4, Captain Marvel and other recent theatrical releases will be on Disney+ instead of Netflix.
Broadcast networks have been awash in streaming ads lately, as Fox's broadcast of the Emmys last month vividly illustrated. While the overall number of scripted originals keeps climbing, the growth is being powered by streaming, with linear networks holding steady with their output. ABC has served as a launch pad for many streaming campaigns. Netflix's first ad for Martin Scorsese's The Irishman aired during this year's Oscar telecast.
Disney had initially looked to ban all competitive ads, but then reversed course and agreed to accept ads for Apple TV+ and Amazon shows, but kept Netlfix on the no-fly list.
The U.S.-China trade war has dealt heavy blows to the American economy, and President Trump (R-Grifter) has indicated that the U.S. will not back down.
Yet as the tensions between the two countries carry on and the tit-for-tat tariffs continue, the economic consequences are apparent in various sectors across the U.S., from agriculture to manufacturing to even lumber.
"Remember, we were told that the trade wars are easy to win," Doug Barry, senior director of communications and publications for the U.S.-China Business Council (USBC), told Yahoo Finance. "That was just as they were beginning a year ago. We found that not to be true, they're not easy to win."
Barry added that "not only aren't they easy to win, but the unintended costs of a trade war are far more significant than most Americans ever realized. That's the wake-up call - when you start engaging in this kind of conflict, there doesn't seem to be a bottom to it."
According to the USBC's 2019 State Export Report, the U.S. saw a 7% decline in goods exported to China between 2017-2018. And 36 states exported fewer goods to China in 2018 than they did in 2017. This is likely tied to the tariffs spurred by the trade war.
A fourth gravitational wave detector, this one in Gifu Prefecture, Japan, will join the global search for cosmic events that cause ripples in spacetime, beginning this December.
The Kamioka Gravitational-Wave Detector (KAGRA) is in its commissioning phase, according to a press release, and will join the two LIGO detectors in the United States well as the Virgo detector in Italy. The three facilities will share data, serving as independent verifiers of each other's results.
Like the LIGO and Virgo detectors, KAGRA uses laser interferometry to search for tiny ripples in spacetime called gravitational waves. The experiment consists of a pair of 1.9-mile-long arms buried underground. Optics split a laser beam and send it through either side of the tunnel, then rejoin the beam on the detector. A gravitational wave will cause the beams to move in and out of alignment with one another, generating a tell-tale wiggle signal.
KAGRA is the first of the major gravitational detectors to operate underground, making it less susceptible to outside noise that can produce erroneous signals. It will also be the first with cryogenically cooled mirrors, which will cut down on noise caused by heat-related effects, according to the LIGO press release.
Hot liquid that churns around Earth's outer core powers a gigantic magnetic field that's been hugging our planet since its infancy, protecting it from harmful solar radiation. But this magnetic field is known to get restless - and a couple of times every million years or so, the poles flip, and magnetic south becomes magnetic north and vice versa.
Now, a new study suggests that the magnetic poles can flip much more frequently than scientists thought. That's what seems to have happened around 500 million years ago during the Cambrian period, when Earth's creatures were undergoing evolutionary growth spurts, transforming into more complex life-forms.
To understand the workings of the magnetic field during this time, a group of researchers from the Institute of Physics of the Globe of Paris and the Russian Academy of Sciences collected sediment samples from an outcrop in northeastern Siberia.
The team found that around 500 million years ago, the planet's magnetic field flipped about 26 times every million years or so - the highest frequency ever suggested. That's "extreme," considering that until recently, five flips per million years was considered very high, said lead author Yves Gallet, research director of the French National Center for Scientific Research at the Institute of Physics of the Globe of Paris.
But perhaps "just as interesting" is that shortly after this time, within a few million years, the frequency of flipping dropped off extremely quickly, Gallet said. Between 495 million and 500 million years ago, the magnetic field started flipping at a rate of about one to two times every million years.
