Well, it’s been a nice weekend here in Arizona. I must be getting acclimated to the heat, because I was able to comfortably sit on the back porch with my coffee this morning until it got up to 98! Of course, the humidity was only at 5%.
Anyway, I’m now off to make dinner.
Here’s a Sunday Night Open Post!
And you were in the shade.
Asking Cops The Same Silly Questions They Ask Us – Arizona Cop Gets Flustered short version
Re-posting from the last post because it entertained me like a mug.
We don’t know for a fact that Officer Mike Jardine actually fucks sheep. But the accusation is out there and he needs to address it.
Sources familiar with Officer Jardine’s thinking say he fucks sheep.
and like a tard I just commented in the ded thred
“My skeptical side says that seemed scripted…..but I want to believe thats real”
Yeah…..yeah, this.
My Zod! That was refreshing. I know where I’ve heard that before but it was always in the other direction. – and now that everybody has seen the first 15 minutes of the movie Full Metal Jacket we all know what they patterned their questioning process on.
“May I be in charge for a while? Thank you very much!”
Holy shith that guy has balls of steel.
WaPo and NYT only wish they had real stuff like this besides those pretend bootlicking narrative creationists they have on staff.

Nice low key weekend for me… The first since March. A bit of unpacking, but otherwise did a whole lot of nothing.

Nice collection. A lot of good choices. #53 takes first place based on her instagram feed.
I like small butts and I cannot lie.
You are the only one here with good taste.
Please include me in the small tight butts fan brigade.
I like big tits and I cannot lie.
# 56 reminds of the time I was walking on the beach in Maui with my sister and bro in law a few years back and came upon a similar view. Sis says under her breath, “I would never let my daughter wear that”. “Sure glad she is not your daughter” was my reply. She wasn’t impressed but whatever.
Where was this during GlibFit?
Watching a scene of Godzilla trashing a city I can only think that someone went through all the effort of creating these miniature buildings knowing full well their only purpose was to be stepped on by a guy in a rubber suit…

Oh, no. There goes Tokyo.
And after everything else that has happened this year I wouldn’t be surprised if, during my evening walk, I gazed over towards Tokyo Tower and saw it being knocked down by a 40-story tall, fire-breathing lizard.
That lizard would be wearing a MAGA hat, cuz everything is political now.
Or not.
So headed to Munch’s for the Trumpo setto?

/I mean, you aren’t wrong.
Good song.
Now I want to listen to BOC.
Veteren of the Psychic Wars would fit the mood right now.
Yeah, happened to me, too.
Astronomy was an awesome song as well.
I saw them in ’93, I think it was. Started a very looong downward spiral for me, unfortunately. Not that BOC, nor the concert, actually did that. It was simply the beginning.
My roomie and I used to listen to BOC while playing StarCraft back in the 90s. I always made him quit the game when VotPW came on. That song was like taking the angst of Vietnam and fucking freebasing it.
Man, I just listened to that song for the first time since I went from Republican over to Libertarian- largely because of our wars in the ME. It is so poignant. Especially when you think about how the narrator’s wounds are invisible….That he keeps fighting while no one sees the damage being done in his mind.
That is so like the war in Afghanistan (and even Iraq) after Obama took office. These soldiers became invisible. They were suffering real wounds but no one cared. They even had the gall to call this victory.

The violation complaints are predominantly from Manhattan & the Hamptons. Lots of violations of social distancing, parties in the street, restaurants and bars ignoring laws.
Enforce the law or there will be state action.

I bet he’s a blast at parties.
He can always whip out his metal nipples.
Got nuthin on Schumer tho….
Maybe he should have locked down NYC and let the rest of the state get on with our lives.
You’re so provincial.
Derp, thank you for the good conversation in the previous thread. I appreciate challenges to my beliefs.
Weather was perfect in NJ. 70 degrees and low humidity – never happens for long here. Went hiking both days.
I snuck over the river today to see my mom for a lil bit. The weather was excellent, though it was pretty nice in PA too…and our air is cleaner. ?
Just as unfree…
Yeah, I couldn’t make the freedom joke. *sad tombone*
Though I have been able to buy guns throughout the shutdown.
Gauleiter Wolf asked the state Supreme Court to intervene immediately. We’ll see what happens on Monday.
I’m strangely hopeful.
I can’t hear about driving across the Jersey state line without thinking about barefoot girls sitting on the hood of a Dodge drinking warm beer in the soft summer rain.
I can’t help but think of that poor woman who almost went to prison over a bullshit gun charge.
I can’t help but think of Carlin’s joke:
“New Jersey…The Garden State. If you’re growing smokestacks, yes.”

It was actually chilly here in NEO. Low 60’s for most of the day. We’re supposed to get up to the 90’s by the end of the week. While I love the midwest, I don’t love the random temperature swings.
About 70 or so and windy today.
I had a late lunch outside at the local Irish pub. They’re going to open up indoor dining thanks to the Clown Prince’s gracious and magnanimous deigning to lift his restrictions. They won’t open on Monday when the change in restrictions take effect (*), but on Wednesday.
I asked if they would open the bar area. I know of one other place that won’t open the bar area and another place that is not sure what they will do. The current restrictions from the Clown Prince are that mingling at the bar is not allowed and patrons must be six feet apart. The Irish pub said they’d open the bar area but somehow keep people six feet apart. I suspect, based on other things we talked about, that their attempts will be just enough of a fig leaf to keep the police and liquor commission off their back.
I’m cancelling my time off tomorrow which I intended to spend at the bars. It’s not worth it at this point.
Later this week the temps are supposed to be up in the 90s.
I’ve noticed that the more commercial (aka recognizable) places are hewing to the mask requirements. Those that are more struggling to get by DGAF. Others are in the middle of the two, staff haphazardly wearing masks, no clientele wearing them.
Unfortunately in my neck of the woods, everybody in the businesses seem to be wearing the masks.
The liquor store even had a sign out front saying customers have to wear them to flatten the curve.
Hospitalizations in New York have been going down since mid-April.
There’s a reason I’ve been driving to New Hampshire to go grocery shopping. And it’s not just because it’s a nice drive.
I don’t remember what the Clown Prince’s mask requirements are for restaurant staff. I think staff have to wear them while dealing with customers.
The places in question are in Nashua and subject to the Nashua mask ordinance. I’ll say that compliance varies widely. More than a few people are sick of it. June 18th is the hearing date on the mask ordinance lawsuit.
I’m cancelling my time off tomorrow which I intended to spend at the bars. It’s not worth it at this point.
My mind says in these trying times any time off is worth it. I don’t go to bars though.

Never have kids.
Kids are the worst.
I’m reminded of a ditty from the 1930 film Just Imagine:
Mothers tell your daughters, never, ever wed!
Mothers tell your daughters, shun the married bed!
Although I find that good advice, one drawback I can see:
If Mom had followed that advice there wouldn’t be a me-eeeeee!
If you do have kids, please–for the love of God–teach them proper grammar.
Some of the most hilarious shit I’ve ever seen. CHAZ has a subreddit.
https://www.reddit.com/r/CapHillAutonomousZone/
Unfortunately the best post got deleted by its author. They were presenting something about having a “council” to arbitrate disputes inside CHAZ. First it was going to be a black man, a black woman, a (black) trans person, and a white woman. Then they deleted the white woman. Then they added all kinds of different ethnicities. Then they added people who had been convicted of crimes. Then it was that women would worry about reporting sexual assault if people who’d been convicted of sexual assault were on the council, and then they decided that only 50% of the criminals on the council could’ve been convicted of sexual assault.
Thankfully Google cache saved it.
The same person who posted the above also responded like this to someone who had their shit stolen.
A+ comedy.

Here’s the thread (with a lot of removed comments). Highlights include “Jews? What are they?” and “It’s not homeless peoples’ fault they might rape someone” (in reference to edit 9)

Totally not antisemitic reply. Why is antisemitism the one completely accepted prejudice by the left?
I’m not on the bottom? Excellent. Sign me up.
They don’t hate Jews, just Israel.
Somehow that makes sense to some people.
“They don’t hate Jews, just Israel. ”
And of course they hate the Israelis – but somehow this in no way means they hate the Jews.
When the CHAZ falls, they are going to have to burn it to the ground and salt the earth it sat on. That place probably makes Wuhan wet market look like an ICU room.
Oh, it’s not CHAZ anymore. It’s CHOP (Capital Hill Occupy/Occupied Protest).
I’m finding it increasingly hilarious. I hope they let them go forever.
It’s funny now. But, it eventually will devolve into mass violence and murder if it goes on long enough.
I think the bikers for Trump are due in tomorrow.
I’m really hoping this doesn’t happen. Watching this thing collapse from within will be a great object lesson for the rest of the country on what happens when you put these fools in charge.

Good. Now I’ll ready my popcorn. Watching half-assed revolutionaries pwn themselves is way more fun.
I agree. We should be able to hear the implosion nice and clear just about anywhere.

It’s fun to see The People’s Revolution rot and collapse from within in a matter of days. What’s amazing is that it has never occurred them that the individual is the smallest minority, making their collectivist demographic bullshit irrelevant.
Oh come on. That can’t be real.
“Edit 7: We’ve heard your concerns about the Asian non-male seat representing all Asian subgroups as if they are a monolithic identity. That wasn’t our intention. We will replace the Asian non-male seat with 12 mini-seats..”
Oh…thats beyond parody. I only hope the autists @ 4Chan got in there and typed that.
They might have convinced me right up to “We are placing a cap of 50% on the proportion of Council members who have performed one or more premeditated sexual assaults or rapes in the preceding twelve months. Homelesspersons and disabledpersons are exempt from this cap.”
That is over the top. No way anyone really said anything more than 33% within 24 months.
That is fucking hilarious. Do you have a link to the Google cache? I want to share this with my wife.
I was able to comfortably sit on the back porch with my coffee this morning until it got up to 98! Of course, the humidity was only at 5%.
I was in Austin in late August/early September about eight years or so ago. I went hiking in McKinney Falls State Park one day when it was 100 degrees or so but with low humidity. It wasn’t that bad when I could get out of the Sun.
On that trip, the last full day in Austin the weather broke. The temps were 90 or so in Austin. I took a drive out to Fredericksburg so I could visit this fine establishment and walk around the town a bit. It was 80 or so in Fredericksburg. I came close to understanding why Texans wear heavy jackets when the temps get into the 50s.
98! Of course, the humidity was only at 5%
if only there were some way to prove this graphically
I’ll send you some outdoor nudes when it hits 100.

Mine gets bigger.
Now, I’m not a huge NASCAR fan, but it’s one of the only games in town right now, so I’ll watch.
Generally, I’ve found that race fans don’t mention the sponsor of a race, but only the track, i.e.,
Q: Where dey runnin’ at this Sunday?
A: Talladega (or Bristol, Vegas, Atlanta, etc)
There’s a wee part of me, though, that thinks that NASCAR timed the banning of certain flags at their events to distract from the fact that today’s race in Homestead is the Dixie Vodka 400.
Dixie Vodka? DIXIE!!??!!11? Now wait just a cotton-pickin’ minute. I so just can’t even right now!
I wondered if the usual suspects had found the name of the sponsor’s product problematic. A quick search did not disappoint.
Maybe it’s made by non-Mormons in Utah’s Dixie?

I’m sitting on my stoop enjoying a cool but pleasant PNW afternoon, drinking Hofbrau Original from a stone tankard. It would be perfect if my white trash neighbors didn’t live in their back yard. Some old crone over there has a smokers cough that is near constant. I feel bad for her but hearing someone hork phlegm every 30 seconds kinda detracts from an otherwise perfect afternoon sit. I’m sort of amazed she doesn’t keel over.
Rule 34 suggests that’s a turn-on to somebody.
Phlegm porn.
I’ll take your word for it, no way I’m Googling that.
PNW? I thought you lived in WVa?
Moved last fall
If the police were killing more whites people, BLM’s entire argument would evaporate. Imagine your philosophy was dependent on more murder.
That seems to be what they are gunning for, not less police murder, just murder in proportion to the demographic.
I think were done less because the populace no longer values liberty, and more of a function of being a nation of mouth-breathing morons.
It’s the inevitable conclusion you arrive at when you define “privilege” to mean absence of oppression*.
*The laughable assumption that the state doesn’t oppress whites
Part of me feels like, deep down, for your average grievance monger, ending oppression doesn’t go nearly far enough, they need [insert privileged group] to experience oppression for as long as they see fit to settle the score.
Getting even.
The driving urge for all grievance mongers.
Lol, getting even with the cartoon-villain caricatures that live in their head.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Left-wing ideology is an emotional reaction to a profound sense of inadequacy.
Keep saying it. It’s true.
Getting power.
“Getting even” suggests they could be satisfied if the situation was made equitable.
That’s demonstrably not true.
No.
It’s never gets to even.
There is always a new grievance.
It’s not mind reading to make that assumption. They aren’t against stealing through taxation.

They just need to be in charge. Then everything will be rosy.
British blogger David Thompson talks a lot about how “social justice” is a way for a certain type of person to get their inner sociopath on while claiming to be virtuous.
Yes. It attracts all sorts of insecure assholes with all sorts of malignant desires.
Considering I watched some of DC protest today, where the majority of the crowd proceeded to scream ‘Go away Karen’ and ‘Black Lives Matter’ and “Fuck Off!,” spent a good fifteen minutes screaming at her to leave….. because she was protesting police violence in general, not just police violence against blacks, I think you’re probably right.
Which is why you won’t catch me within miles of any of those marches. If they wanted to get in on protesting police violence in general, I’d be right with them, but you go down to one of those marches, and shout “Kelly Thomas,” “Tony Timpa,” “Daniel Shaver,” “Justine Damond,” “Sal Culosi” in response to “say their name!” you’re more likely to get your ass beat for bringing up non-black victims of police violence than you are to get a positive response.
It’s getting creepy, too. At the beginning, you could find all sorts of livestreamers tracking the protests on the ground. Starting last night, they started aggressively chasing off anyone who was recording them.
If you join the protests at this point it doesn’t matter what you believe you are doing, what you are actually doing is abeting communism.
I considered attending the reopen rallies. That was one of the few causes that getting out in a crowd and protesting seemed to make sense to me. But americans been protesting police abuse off and on (even burning cities down) for decades and it’s done little to nothing to fix it. I don’t see marching this time fixing the problem.
Rioting for police reform is as counterproductive an act as I can imagine. Instead of persuading people that cops are too violent you create images that tell them cops are not violent enough.
I wasn’t even getting into the riots. I’m a rooftop Korean fan, and think anyone attempting to destroy private property like that deserves to be shot.
The protests themselves bother me, at this point. The free american that I am finds kneeling for anything offensive, not to mention out and out prostrating yourself in the street. All that image evokes in me is disgust, not a sense of unity or healing.
Are you kidding me??
https://youtu.be/YqdeA3WiTSE?t=168
After a week of riots I think it is disingenuous to differentiate between the two. At some point when you keep protesting while the riots are happening you are identified with the rioters. I am not even saying you have consciously decided to affirm the riots, just that if you want your cause to remain seperate from the rioters you have to go home when they show up.
I’ve been watching the DC protests primarily, since that’s closest to my location. After the battle at St. John’s cathedral, the marches in DC have remained almost entirely peaceful, with the crowds yanking back the twits trying to agitate, and the police staying far enough away that they don’t end up in confrontations.
I’m worried they won’t stay that way, though, since they started chasing away anyone recording them starting Friday night.
I don’t think it’s helping though, and I’m just watching to see if things get worse or not.
Those white people would’ve been killed worser if they were black.
Well didn’t whatsherface the poet say that she’d like to see a black cop kill a white teenager to even things up, or something like that? Statistically, about twice as many white people are killed by police as black people, although it’s proportionally fewer, and I’d assume at least one of those instances involved a black cop. So, we should be able to stop making this about race now, right? Can white people not be expected to kowtow to black strangers in public demonstrations? Can HBO put Gone with the Wind back on again?
What kills me about the whole thing is the notion that every single black person in America is at risk of being murdered by the cops. Just because the risk of something is higher in one subgroup doesn’t mean that it’s a very high risk at all.
2009 census: 38,093,725 black people in the US
According to Statista: 235 black people shot by cops in 2019
(I realize that these are two different years since I couldn’t find black population numbers for 2019, but it’s close enough as you’ll see, and even if the black population went up, it would only prove my point further)
235 ÷ 38093725 = 0.000006169
Not a very big risk, is it? And keep in mind that the 235 number includes both justified and unjustified shootings.
Ironically, the Black Lives Matter crowd is committing the same statistical fallacy as actual racists who insist that all black people are prone to criminality just because they’re more likely to have a criminal record. They’re ignoring the rule that a highER risk does not mean a HIGH risk.
As a pasty, I’m told I just can never understand, so yes that dress makes you look fat.
Not sure if y’alls have seen this one yet but Fredo gets pwned.

Fredo butt-chugs for sure. I’m not sure what, but he definitely butt-chugs something.
Yup, we saw it, and Crissy Poo got pwned. The First Amendment, you gotta look it up *crunch, crunch*…
That clip is everywhere. Is it: “even simple guy that eats raw ramen can see how stupid Cuomo is” that made that go viral? Or is it because the sensation of eating something so awful is evoked in your soul?
I was kind of surprised to find out my husband had never heard of smashing up uncooked ramen, then sprinkling the flavor packet on it as a crunchy snack. I did that shit all the time when I was young and poor. Maybe it’s a regional or a poverty thing?
Imagine munching on some uncooked spaghetti noodles. That’s how I feel when I see that.
Ramen noodles cook in all of three minutes. They’re way softer than spaghetti, so they end up being more a mix between kettle cooked potato chips and crackers.
3 minutes is all it takes to make it taste much better. That and fire, water and pot. White people are cavemen. 😉
I eventually got a microwave, and I had a bowl that was just the right size so that if you got the noodles submerged, the ratios were perfect to cook it.
I identify as american. If I have to get into genealogy, my father is half japanese and only arrived in the US when he was eight years old. Perhaps it was the mix of being dirt poor and an asian transplant to northern Louisiana that informed his snack choices, but I learned it from him.
Dunnit. Never tried ramen and hot sauce though. I am intrigued now.
That sounds disgusting, even when I was poor, I cooked the ramen.
You cook the ramen when you want to pretend you’re getting a hot meal. You crush the ramen and sprinkle the flavor packet on it and eat it when you’re too poor to afford real junk food.
*shakes head*
No. Just… no.
Yup. I mean, yeah to the “no”…
Screw it. That shit is nasty enough. Crunching it is ???
#metoo
I’ve never seen anyone do that.
I didn’t know ramen existed until my sophomore year in college. It was a tevelation. Meals! 10c!
I was more shocked when I found that Maruchan sells a $2 single pack – their “gold” variety.
No, I did not pay to find out why they think it’s worth $2
I buy this Korean brand for like $1.50 each – bigger than the cheap ones and extra spicy with some freeze-dried vegetables. I add an egg and some sesame oil – yummy.
The thing is, except for the color, it looks identical to the $0.10 version, so I’m not convinced the $1.90 would be well spent.
I bought the cheap ramen by the case. I would throw leftovers in it. Cheap leftover meat or fatty burger. I would alternate that with generic mac and cheese that I made with water, because I couldn’t afford milk. Not a healthy period in my life.
I’ve never heard of that either. I’ll have to try it.
I have eaten chow mein noodles as a snack food. Also the leftover French-fried onions from the obligatory Thanksgiving green bean casserole (which is why I volunteer to make it every year. Also because it’s idiot-simple.) But not raw ramen.
The two examples you cite are fried before packaging.
Yup. That’s why they’re awesome as snack food. Fry the ramen, and I’ll try the ramen.
I would rather have potato sticks than either those things. I have bad memory’s of my mom’s chow main from a can. It was terrible.
That.
I do as well, But, the issue wasn’t chow mein noodles. Those f’ers rock.
I eat the French’s caramelized fried onions for a snack.
I get the bagged kind, usually–the ones you find in and around the produce section. But, yep; a pre-bed snack (or, meal, even) many a time.

Meh, the moves the two girls on the right have make me think they are out of work strippers. I guess they could be gay. Doesn’t matter.
OK, dudez, I’m a share a secret with you. When we call someone gay these days, it does not mean homosexual, it means they’re a fucking dork. Start up you way back machine and catch up.
GAY
That is spelled Gayyyyy!
Here’s my question.
Since the city has abandoned the property owners, businesses, and residents of CHAZ, that means there’s no sales, property, or income taxes owed, right?
I crack myself up.
Nearby city is instituting a public safety payroll/income tax. It goes into effect 2021. Waiting for the same city council that said there wasn’t any money in the existing budget for safety to join the defund bandwagon. And nix the new tax. Hah hah!
Open post is racist! Ya’ll been cancelled, start apologizing!

I should start selling “My neighbors are progressives.” signs.
Change are to were and add a death’s head.
This sign is endemic in my neighborhood:
In this house We Believe:
Black Lives Matter
No Human is Illegal
Love is Love
Women’s Rights are Human Rights
Science is Real
Water is Life
Injustice Anywhere Is a Threat to Justice Everywhere
I’ve posted this here before but I would be super stoked to put out a Glibs version of this in my yard.
Shit, I saw that sign on my ride yesterday.
My version:
All lives matter (even unborn ones)
Immigration means respecting the laws of the country you want to move into
Marriage is between a church and its patrons.
Taxation is theft
Taking income is slavery
“Virtue Signaling Doesn’t Impress This House”
“Fuck Your Yard Signs”
That’s a handy marker of people to not interact with.
I’m a libertarian and by definition single and solitary.
I’d like to say that social-distancing has been an egregious violation of my rights (it is), but in practice I’ve barely noticed.
A bunch inane tripe.
At least it helps you identify the idiots.
We ain’t got that shit in my neighborhood.
Lower S. Hill……gentrification in progress
Shadle for me. When I was looking for a house in the before times, I think it was below 11th street that things started to get shady.
That’s right about where I am. A weird mixture of super expensive renovated houses, high and low end apartment buildings and what I’m fairly certain is section 8 housing. I’ll give you a guess which houses are doing the virtue signaling.
This place is turning blue 🙁
Just after I moved out here, we voted Tom Foley out of office after he sued the voters over term limits and voted for the Clinton AWB.
I looked at a house somewhere on 11th. It had chain-link entrance that looked like the entrance gate to the weapons storage are at Fairchild. I passed on that one.
It seems like it’s definitely bluer since I lived here the first time. Its anecdotal but this time around it seems like I meet far more people who mover here from Seattle or California.
I feel like I should make a comment here…
There’s very little of that sort of thing in my neighborhood either. One reason I live here.
OK, so what’s the “Water is Life” part about? Did they just figure the list was too short and threw some extra pablum in there or is it in reference to something?
Needed some reference to environment for that watermelon cred.
I think that slogan started with the oil pipeline protests at Standing Rock a couple years ago. At least that’s when I started seeing that more often.
Side note: I have a poet / activist cousin who organized a group to go to Standing Rock. They raised money and brought portable solar panels to “harvest light”, in North Dakota, in the winter. Yeah, him and his wife are idiots. Two months later I seen some of those same panels in a giant garbage piles when looking at pictures of the cleanup.
Oh god, I hate that fucking sign.
As far as I can tell, the only people who are literally arguing that science is not real are postmodernist Leftists.
“Sex, Rx, and HEx?”
I like it!

Next door to that will be my custom cabinets/adult toy store. Fine Furniture and Fisting.
Your brothel would have to be full of and cater to Non-binary gender-fluid otherkins, your pharmacy would only be able to exist if the drugs were comprised of local sourced, farm- to-table drugs and your explosives would have to be fair-trade and certifiably sources from women-owned manufacturers operating in conflict-free war zones.
I can probably fake the paperwork on most of that.
Oh, and by the way, you have to provide these services free of charge, comrade. Communism is just about sharing, after all,

Heartbreaking story of rookie trader who racked up $700K in debt: ‘Finance isn’t worth losing your life over’
I’m curious to how much truth there is to this post. I know that Robinhood had a now fixed glitch that enabled users to burrow nearly unlimited amounts to put on options. That’s the only way I think anyone could rack up 700k in debt on the app without buying in for that amount.

I just kicked it on the Front Porch and akshually had to put on pants cause it was chilly, and came in cause it was….chilly. Its like 68º here.
Fuck this. I’m getting my 10 minute, ¥1000 yen haircut.
I tipped my barber $27 last week. Korean immigrant, sweetheart single mother of two, who has yet to receive a dime of unemployment and did hard manual labor on a local farm to make ends meet while the government forcibly shut her down. But she’s Asian and therefore basically white and totally privileged.
And yet, I’d guess she doesn’t consider herself a “sucker” for doing what she could do to take care of her family and herself during that time. Frame of mind is everything.
Not at all, she just keeps on going. The Korean community here seems to be pretty tight, so at least she has that to fall back on.
So much of succeeding in life is about attitude. I wish I knew where Bob’s barber is, so I could seek her out for a trim. That is, if she did a good job. 😀
OK.
Did she do a good job?
She always does. I wish she’d straight razor the edges but for $13 I can’t complain.
Fuck this. There’s a 40 minute wait at the 10 minute barber.
Today, this American Crow landed on the SW corner of my deck post and started talking. Man, those things are loud and big. My wife got out her call and was trying to film him. We’re disappointed that he was only there sitting for a minute and making the class ‘Caw’ sound, very loud and then flew off. First one we’ve had here almost 8 years.
The weather here is near perfect, like 75 F and 40% humidity.

On This Day in History: Ten years ago today, a beloved SW Ohio landmark was struck by lightning and destroyed by the resulting fire. It had already been immortalized in song, and the songwriter added a fitting final tribute.
I can’t believe it’s not Fabio.

Would have been cancelled this year anyway. Jesus was totally racist, I’ve heard
Definitely anti-Semitic
My favorite story about that statue: One December (long before it was destroyed,) a coworker approached me on a Monday morning and asked, “Have you ever seen a big statue of Jesus along I-75 on the way to Cincinnati?” I assured her that I had. She huffed in disgust. Over the weekend, she and her husband had driven from Dayton to Cincinnati for his employer’s Christmas party. While there, my coworker had a little too much to drink (which is to say, because she was the biggest lightweight I’d ever met, she’d had a drink.)
On the way home, she saw the statue and cried out, “Oh, my God!” Her husband asked what was the matter, and she cried, “It’s Swamp Jesus!” (If unclear from the picture, it was surrounded by – and appeared to rise from – a pool of water.) Her husband proceeded to claim not to know what she was talking about, assuring her there had been no such thing. He had her convinced she had hallucinated it.
+1 husband. She’d have been fun at Woodstock.
Indeed, he’s great.
Or maybe it was Elvis, you know they kinda look the same.
And they rebuilt it with lightning rods….
From what I was told, The Solid (crack) Rock church was established to support the horse farm on the other side of 75. The horse farm was a front for drugs, and they needed a place to launder money. Jungle Jim Liberman was in on it, too.
/so I was told
I have always regarded that lightning strike as the best evidence that God exists, and has taste.

According to the sports news guy, Major League Baseball and the Players’ Assoc. are far apart on launching a season this year. I’m a big baseball fan, but I’m now in a position of not caring if there’s a 2020 baseball season or not. F*** both sides – billionaire owners who leach off taxpayers for new stadiums and pampered whiny players who make $5 million for hitting .225. How say the rest of you who are fans?
Same same. Fuck everyone involved. My interest was already waning a bit, this may be the nail in the coffin.
Too many teams and too many games
/every sports league
.225? I say pitchers might be underpaid.
I stopped following baseball after the second strike. Fuck ’em all.
There’s a big haircut to be taken by everyone, but some people still think they’re going to escape.
Players want to be payed pro rata, and MLB management agreed to it. But, as we horse traders say: too good a deal is no deal. You can’t pay players pro rata based on contracts that were based on full stadia.
Hurt feelings don’t move the numbers. A good faith answer would be based on a fraction of the take, whatever that turns out to be; some fair fraction should be paid on the fly, and all accounts should be settled when the season’s books are closed.
Ownership is playing its only card: cancelling everything. There’s nothing wrong with that if they’re happy carrying taxes and maintenance and not making a dime for it all year, and there’s nothing with the players’ rejecting it, but that means fewer Maserati for everyone. Little guys will get creamed by this if they can’t live on a budget, but that was always the case to the extent that the specter of being sent down always looms. Big salaries should take the pass: save the arm or the back for next year and spend some time with the kids.
The answer should be that the same fractions of good and bad accrue to everyone as before: salary, overhead, the gate, various expenses. That’s nothing that can’t be estimated on the back of a Chinese takeout menu in an hour, and it’s the most that anyone can hope to salvage from the year; all other options net everyone less.
Don’t care about baseball but it’s the same story for every other sport.
Whatever comes back is going to be full of whining and wokeness – yay?
Spent the weekend weeding and doing laundry. Just three more days to go until we embark on our big road trip. Turns out, that while we did not win the initial round of lottery tickets for the 3rd of July show at Mt Rushmore (I never win the lottery, dammit) there’s still a slight hope, because recreation.gov said they’d be releasing a limited number of additional tickets to lottery applicants on the 17th. Fingers crossed, but truly, South Dakota appears to be the one state that simply does not give AF about coronavirus so all their fireworks shows are going on as scheduled. Even if I don’t make it to Rushmore, I’ll still get the big bang.
“Even if I don’t make it to Rushmore, I’ll still get the big bang.” Yes. Yes you will.

Since when do you continue to collect a paycheck after resigning? The Atlanta PD chief got the same benefit.
It’d be interesting if she’s related to Lord Acton.
When she was first appointed to the job last February, Acton spoke about her belief in holistic health, in paying attention to all the factors contributing to wellness and illness, in reforming the state department and working with local health workers.
Instead, she became the face of Ohio’s response to the novel coronavirus. For some, she was a steady leader during an uncertain time. For others, she was a heavy-handed bureaucrat who destroyed the state’s economy.
None of that was what she wanted.
Awww.

Just wanted to add that, for anyone thinking the CHAZ shit is gonna implode soon, I highly doubt it. They won’t be able to function on their own, like a commune typically would. But, there are way too many Richie Riches out there looking to support them, and forking over $ is far easier than actually doing something; like, go live there.
I don’t think it won’t go down in flames…just that it won’t happen all that quickly.

I’m sure the city of Seattle will find some way to support them and paper over the loss of control. Neighborhood empowerment trial perhaps.

I’m like half-joking.
Hey, that cash has to go somewhere.
And half correct.
Occupy Wall Street lasted two months. And that was (is) private property, FWIW.
While there are certainly parallels there, I’m not sure they’re all that comparable, considering this time around, it’s about “civics”, and, government, moreso than the stocks and bonds set.
Like I said, I could be wrong on this, and I hope I am.
It was about free shit and partying, and so is this.
So very much this.
Oh, I agree about the “free shit” part. But, what’s getting reported doesn’t look like partying just yet. They have way too many struggle sessions to host.
*snort*
Dude–if you think that looks like a ‘party’…I can’t even right now.
I’m surprised they aren’t trying to grow food on that astroturf.
I mean it can stay like that for 50 years 6 blocks and shit. It won’t mean anything.
There were many lefties on the interwebz comparing it to Copenhagen’s Christiana. With a sufficiently benevolent government a small community of scroungers ne’er-do-wells and artists can last a long time.
Interesting that Christiana got the comparison, since that was more opportunistic squatting than what Antifa is doing.
I’m hoping that when those biker groups show up and Big Dog their way past the “security” dude into the CHAZ the entire zone situation is going to be taking one giant leap towards MadMax Thunderdome. That will be entertaining.
In the office on a Monday first time since March. I don’t like it.
Also I am fat and out of shape and fat. I feel the fact that for 3 months I did not walk my usual 5 kilometers per day to and from work. I need to get my shit together. This don’t work no more. I don’t even click glibfit cause it is too depressing. I would never have thought I would reach 90 kg in my life. Goddamnit.\
Also good morning glibbies.
You could try a few days in the hospital – I lost 11 kg that way.
The problem with losing weight in the hospital as a strategy is that you tend to lose a lot of muscle mass which i want to avoid
Well, if you’re going to be picky….
90=198.416….not since 5th grade.

Bought a new drill (the chuck on mine seized up and even with WD-40 baths I couldn’t get it to open up.) and some heavy duty drawer slider hardware today. The plan is to make the permanent storage spot for my new PC build slide out like a server rack to make maintenance easier. I’ll probably fuck it up somehow.
That’s the spirit!!

Also–How to do it
Another two week lay-off and EA just got to Steam, and started with a sale. So I bought Mass Effect: Andromeda for $15. I’ve heard it wasn’t good, but at least I get to simulate having sex with an alien. (Despite the complaints about ME3, I liked everything except the final scene)
I played both of those. I have no point of reference, so I don’t really know how bad they supposedly are–I enjoyed them enough, and have forgotten most everything having to do with either.
I played all 3 original Mass Effect Games, and loved them except the ending to 3 (it was billed that every choice you made through all 3 games would change the plot outcome, then ME3 ended by choosing between 2 different endings (no matter what choices you made in the other games) where the only difference (in the original release) was what color the explosion was (patched later to be a bit more different). Andromeda doesn’t take into effect any choices made through the first 3 games (as far as I know) and was slagged by critics. But I’m bored with the games I have now, so I’ll give it a shot.
Will you in the end get government $$ for these layoffs?
Everyone else I work with has already gotten their lucre. I, on the other hand, haven’t received anything and expect I won’t, I’m the guy that gets screwed over like that.
Ugh–showing off your privilege again. SMDH
I had to contain myself when (during one of my working weeks) a co-worker was all pissed off that she hadn’t been laid off yet. She deserved that paid vacation! While I’ve spent the last 2 months not getting paid for every other 2 weeks after being unemployed the few months before, and getting low wages and low hours for the last several years I was employed.
I think a beating is in order.
Are you not filing or are your filings not be processed?
I am also self-employed. I have a regular client that pays $75 a week, that must be investigated! Even though that was all worked when I was unemployed to start the year, it must be investigated again! And it seems because they killed so many jobs they can’t keep up I don’t think they are doing any ‘investigations’. Even though self-employed people are covered under the federal bill, Wisconsin didn’t have that set up until after I had started filing for my first lay-off, and to switch would have probably fucked things up even more.
Sorry, that sounds like a bureaucratic mess. Keep on top of it and hopefully, you’ll get the money sooner rather than later. (I have no idea how any of this works.)
Still, even with the government fucking things up for me, I’ve made if not as much then a little more than I made by this point last year, so as one of my many theme songs says, it’s better than it was.
I thank you all for being here. I’m gonna try and

F-15 splashdown in North Sea. Inshallah the pilot managed to successfully activate his magic rocket chair and parachute. Fortunately it looks like the weather is unusually pleasant out there today. I saw an Osprey heading out earlier.
An Osprey? Do they want a second crash?

Continue the Osprey and defund the Warthog. This is it in a nut-shell. No more murder machine that kills the enemy and more murder machine that kills Marines.
