“The so-called revolutionaries who were busted for rioting at a New Afrikan Black Panther Party rally took a break from their yacht club lives and modeling careers to be a part of the mayhem.”
There is no such thing as a proletariat communist.
“Claire Severine, 27, who lives in Washington Heights and was charged with rioting, appears to be a signed model with the We Speak agency who had the ability to jet between Montreal, Quebec and Dublin, Ireland before settling in the Big Apple to “pursue a career in acting,” according to a modeling profile with the same name.”
Looks like it was taken down. Probably after the Post article came out.

“Hardened Hamptons party crashers are having a harder time getting into VIP bashes during the pandemic.
We’re told the clandestine crashers — accustomed to hobnobbing with the East End who’s who by giving false names or managing to sneak past security — have been stymied by stricter guest-list policies, especially in the Hamptons, where people have been hosting parties more quietly.
“The guest lists are so tight,” said a source. “It will be 100 [people] max, and no access to inside the houses. The hosts, and people running the party, know every single person.”
The insider added: “All the usual party crashers are freaking out … There are no parties in the city, and the ones in the Hamptons are unattainable.””

‘She said in her statement that she had genuinely feared for her life during the failed deportation attempt.
“In particular it was stated that if I did not voluntarily leave the Republic of Belarus, I would be taken out anyway, alive or in bits. There were also threats to imprison me for up to 25 years,” Kolesnikova said.’
She was told there would be problems for her while she was held under guard or in jail.
“The persons indicated (security officers) uttered threats to my life and health, which I took to be real,” she said.

The health screening was one person standing in an entrance tent holding a touchless thermometer. We didn’t see it even get vaguely waved at anyone as we walked through in a crowd.
Sounds like Security at a couple of open air concerts that I attended in Montreal back in 1979. Of course the Brasseries had the same rules for 14 year-old boys buying beer right next to the venue. Basically “You look like a person and you have two legs and I’ll gladly make this transaction!”

Now? Once in a while Mikoru/Browning releases a run of 16 gauge Citoris, but no dedicated trap guns I’m aware of. The 16 really wasn’t ever popular for trap, that being mostly a 12-gauge game, but sixteens were popular for a while with women and small-framed shooters. My best buddy back home in Iowa recently picked up a really slick 16-gauge Model 12 Trap that was a factory custom order a guy put in for his wife; the gun even came with the original box, order paperwork and factory letter.
Mrs. A uses exclusively sixteens, a Citori and an Ithaca Featherweight Model 37.
I think the sixteen is still more popular in Europe than it is here.

I wouldn’t dismiss them so easily. How tough does someone have to be to set a fire?
As I mentioned the rioters seem to be a mix of rich kids LARPing it and convicted violent felons. I imagine most of the real violence is committed by the felon contingent while the LARPers just run around squawking slogans and ‘being there’. For the LARPers it is what we used to call ‘A Happening’. Those types have always done this sort of nonsense.
The other contingent – public employees, primarily teachers – I am not sure what side of the fence they are on activity wise. They are commies alright, but not sure how much violence they engage in.
Brainwashing is violence.

“As the former Vice President strove to discern a world that he has largely only known via television and the internet for the past three months, his speech was classic Biden nonsense and an exercise in blatant, if comical, hypocrisy. About President Trump, he said: “He may believe mouthing the words ‘law and order’ makes him strong, but his failure to call on his own supporters to stop acting as an armed militia in this country shows how weak he is.” Biden further charged that “this president long ago forfeited any moral leadership in this country. He can’t stop the violence—because for years he has fomented it … fires are burning and we have a president who fans the flames rather than fighting the flames.”
Ah, the magic script: “fans the flames.” It was soon on the lips of every Democrat standing in front of a friendly mainstream media reporter.
The uncanny Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), who still has the nerve to appear on political talk shows (even though his experience in that arena has offered little but half-baked Russia conspiracy theories) repeated this “insight” during an appearance on CNN’s “State of the Union.” “The president is willfully fanning the flames of this fire. They believe this is helpful to him,” Schiff parroted.”

All over the world, all shades of happiness reach their lowest point shortly before the age of 50.
https://twitter.com/DegenRolf/status/1303920501845372928
This actually makes me feel a little bit better. I’ve figured my malaise was due to lack of social contact during Covid, my parents getting awfully close to their final years, and my youngest finally passing the “easy to pick up and carry” stage. I’m glad to see it’s pretty universal around my age. I’m ready for the uptick!
…any time now.
Yeah, I have to say my happiness has not increased over the past 3-5 years
My problem is I don’t know how to measure happiness.
You need a bigger measuring cup *Grandma advice*
I am not unhappy, therefore, I am fine.
Several years ago, during a morning meeting with my boss and peers, one guy says he’s depressed. The boss asks why. He says, “My wife turned 50 yesterday. That’s right I’m married to an old lady.” I suggested he trade her in on two 25-year olds. He briefly pondered my suggestion, and said, “No thanks, I want to retire.” He’s retired now.
CWAA
I should have pointed out that it was all very tongue-in-cheek.
Can confirm.
“all shades of happiness reach their lowest point shortly before the age of 50.”
I think that depends on when (or if) you started having kids.
In my case we started having kids just as I was turning 50. At this point I’m not sure I can even define happiness.
We have nothing to fear but fear itself
Claiming that the country “could’ve lost 2.5 million” people if he had reacted differently to the virus, the president justified publicly downplaying the threat of the virus, saying he wanted to “show a calmness.”
“I’m the leader of the country, I can’t be jumping up and down and scaring people,” he added. “I don’t want to scare people. I want people not to panic, and that’s exactly what I did.”
The president insisting that he doesn’t want to “scare people” will come as news to many, considering that the entirety of his presidency and re-election campaign has consisted of striking fear into Americans.
It’s noxious bullshit, all the way down.
if he had reacted differently to the virus
I am still unsure as to what the president is supposed to do. He did travel restrictions, which make sense (even if it may already be too late), and they called him racist.
That’s not how the chain of command works.
In his new book on the Trump administration—titled, Rage—Woodward reveals the inner machinations and grumblings of former White House officials, like James Mattis and ex-Director ofnNational Intelligence Dan Coats. According to the book, which was widely excerpted by the Post on Wednesday, Mattis was particularly concerned about Trump’s leadership in 2017 during a standoff with North Korea over its missile tests:
And how did his play on that show down with North Korea work? Did I miss the war?
“Rage”
LOL, perfect
In a just world engaging in this kind of projection would get you instantly tased in the balls.
By the way, how did that NK confrontation turn out?
Hmm, so Mattis told all of this to Woodward – is that what I’m supposed to believe?
Yup. You are expected to just bend over and take it….
So the guy who quit because Trump wants to stop throwing away blood and treasure on foreign wars not in the interest of the United States – he’s going to lecture us about moral compasses?

Said the Ace to the Narcissist?
I don’t get it.
Mattis quietly went to Washington National Cathedral to pray about his concern for the nation’s fate under Trump’s command and, according to Woodward, told Coats, “There may come a time when we have to take collective action” since Trump is “dangerous. He’s unfit.”
That’s some mighty thin ice.
That line overloaded my bullshit meter.
Trump’s ability to expose swamp creatures is like a superpower.
1000% Ditto
This worries me a lot. I don’t think that it’s possible to overestimate the pull that Mattis has with the military rank and file. He’s one of the very few people who could actually make ‘collective action’ happen.
Mmmm. Nah.
When you swing that far away from what you were, it vanishes in a puff….see GEN Petraeus for example.

He was an absolute rock star in Iraq, when I was there for the surge. couple years later….nada.
^^^^THIS^^^^
Pretty much. Anecdotal and all, but based on my little circle of former jarheads, there is a lot of disillusionment with Mattis if he actually said that.
Which, given Bob Woodward’s history, is anybody’s guess.
Fair point.
Still, I’m adding this to my poorly concealed inner core or rage-filled anxiety.
“There may come a time when we have to take collective action”
Bob fucking Woodward is giving a glowing, positive portrait of a general who contemplated a military coup.
And didn’t report it in real time when it happened.
I’m starting to think Watergate didn’t happen and all of his work is fiction.
How do you do that? Read exactly what I was thinking before I even thought it?

What this country needs is more inchoate panicstricken shrieking
The 190,000 American families who lost loved ones and could never say goodbye, the millions of unemployed, the business owners who went bust, a generation of kids who haven’t been in class for months and everyone else self-distanced from their regular lives now face the same question: How different would things have been had the President done his job properly?
——-
The President’s refusal to inform his nation of a building threat and instinct to keep comparing the disease to the flu as late as the end of March — when he knew it was a lie — show he flunked his date with destiny.
Instead of true leadership, Trump consistently put his own political goals — including shielding the strong economy he needed to win reelection — ahead of the advice of his public health experts. He undermined science by pursuing discredited therapies like hydroxychloroquine. As recently as this past week, he mocked journalists and his election opponent, Joe Biden, who wear the masks that scientists say are critical to saving tens of thousands more from dying. Trump also urged sympathetic governors to open their states’ economies before the virus was under control, unleashing a Sun Belt outbreak that didn’t need to be so bad.
Now tell us precisely what President Herself would have done differently. Especially the part about how she would have kept all those people from losing their jobs, or going bankrupt, or being deprived of an education.
Tell us what magic spell she would have conjured up to keep the plague at bay.
… it involves the Elder Gods.
/SF
She’d have a point if the entirety of the rest of the fucking world hadn’t gone through and done the same thing (minus Sweden of course).
Sweden had people die of Cootie-19, too.
Oh, and hydroxychloroquine works if used correctly you moron.
Well, Herself would have ignored it, and told all her buddies in the media to ignore it. And because the media exists to slobber all over Hillary’s ovipositor, CoV-SARS-2 would have ended up a minor footnote in a minor medical journal somewhere.
Maybe. Or maybe shrieking panic turns her on more than a functioning society. Who knows?
“ovipositor” is the secret pass-word. Welcome, Friend!
Oh no. What horrible cult have I joined this time?
Tell us what magic spell she would have conjured up to keep the plague at bay.
Oh lord, now I fear that SF will give us that answer (in graphic detail) in a H&H Extended Universe.
The seizures that generate my visions only show this timeline, fortunately.
What does he mean by ‘had he done his job properly’?
Collinson is such a fricken douche.
Like this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhBy2zy-Evo
If Trump “had done his job properly”, the federal government would be on a vector to employ about 10% to 20% of the people it currently does, and he would have instructed his AG to prosecute, for Bill of Rights violations, any state or local official who did lockdowns or business shutdowns or mandatory masking. And held the governor of South Dakota as a role model for said officials to follow. And made her his VP choice.
I suspect the person above holds a different interpretation.
This is one of the most shameless about-faces I’ve ever seen.
It’s like the CDC never issued a report saying that only 6% of the so-called cootie deaths were from the cooties and in the other 94% the cooties were a comorbidity.
It is my understanding that if you go to the hospital because of CCP Virus symptoms, then get pneumonia and die, it is still a valid CoVid death. This compares to regular flu deaths as well.
That report actually said 6% were from Covid alone, the other 94% involved comorbidities. It is every bit as disingenuous to read that as saying those 94% were not Covid deaths as it is to read it as saying the deaths were exclusively Covid deaths. The truth is almost certainly found in between those claims.
This. The approximate truth is to be found by calculating excess total deaths over recent past years for the given time period. Which, not only is no public official doing, but that number does not even appear to be on any internet search I’ve done.
Nothing in that screed is accurate.

Speaking to WABC, the 17-year-old explained why he attended in-person classes on the first day of school:
“I was going to school like students should be going to school.”
The guy does his own thing, for better or worse — he showed up the morning of the 8th to kick in the school year, but his teacher sent him to the principal’s office.
He was asked to leave the property, to which he replied, “Well, no, I think I need to go class. This is during class time.”
So he went back to the classroom — and carried on for the next several hours.
At the end of the day, staff told him he was suspended for five days.
Probably better for him to avoid public “education” going forward anyway.
Suspended for going to school.

The Thrills and Horrors of HBO’s “Class Action Park”
My co-workers and I were talking about this and how we all used to go there when we were younger. Even in the 1980s we all knew this place was crazy stupid, but that’s what it made it so special.
Before my time in NJ but I’ve heard many people talk about the place. Opie and Anthony used to talk about it too. People used to calibrate their risk very differently not that long ago.
When I was a kid, we used to go at least once or twice a season every year – drive several hundred miles from Rhode Island to go to action park. Man, they had some crazy shit there.
That’s some dedication right there!

“Our entire response has been hampered by the mixed messaging that President Trump has had,” said Dr. Leana Wen, former Baltimore health commissioner and a CNN medical analyst.
“And now we know that this mixed messaging is not just wrong, it’s deliberately misleading. And that’s extremely distressing,” Wen told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. “I think about all of the patients I’ve treated who have lost their lives or who have recovered but have long-term effects because of Covid-19.”
William Haseltine, one of America’s most respected health care professionals, who is now chairman and president of ACCESS Health International, a global health nonprofit, laid a devastating charge about the cost of Trump’s negligence.
“How many people could have been saved out of the 190,000 who have died? My guess is 180,000 of those,” he told Blitzer. “We have killed 180,000 of our fellow Americans because we have not been honest with the truth. We have not planned, and even today we’re ignoring the threat that lies ahead.”
Did it hurt when you pulled that number out of your
modelass? Now tell us exactly how you would have saved them. What, specifically, would you have done?What an utterly preposterous claim. And people wonder why I don’t take any of these “health professionals” seriously.
Yeah, there’s no way. A cursory perusal of the death rates around the world reveals that lie. Maybe with hydroxychloroquine it would have been better but they don’t want us to use that for some delusional reason.
The entire concept of ‘public health’ is a morass of bullshit and nonsense. But it does give guaranteed employment to a whole legion of Phds who are too dumb and lazy to make it as practicing physicians.

As I revealed on @TuckerCarlson

WHO requires this? Did WP get infected with SJW?
I blame Jocko Willink myself
Is that the guy from the old Energizer batteries commercials?
The entire military, thanks to Barry.
Yup. As somebody who first entered the US military in 1976 and ended up retiring from it in 2018 (with a long break in the middle) I can tell you that the level of wokeness that was forced into the military during Obama’s term was extreme.
He made sure the top brass was loyal to him and the left, weaponizing them like he weaponized the bureaucracy Now sinking us all. So now these fuckers can’t fie example fight a ship and keep running into other ones because the woke training requirements cut into actually training them to be Marines, Sailors, Soldiers, or Airmen.
The left sees the military as just another social justice program, which is why they thought it was cool to force tax payers to foot the bill for people that joined the military just to demand they cater to whatever pet peeve they have, regardless of how that impacts their ability to do the real job of the military (break shit and kill people that want to do that to you, for those not educated on what the military is supposed to be for).
That’s because they are trying to steal our Essence.
GOA McArthur encouraged cadets to play football (the non-fairy kind) to promote teamwork and toughness. Now we inject a philosophy that promotes whining and devisiveness. This on the Generals acting like spineless college administrators.
Just like tossing a woman in an infantry unit – it destroys morale. It actively damages these future officers’ ability to lead in combat, but does prepare them for a successful career of navigating their way up the command structure in the swamp.
Leftism will destroy the armed forces.
That have made a lot of progress already. A real war against a real military would expose all the damage that’s been done.
Given were we are headed, not sure if I should be happy or sad about it.
You can’t lay all the blame on the Left for what ails our military – it is just the frosting on the cake. The rot started post-WWII in the career management practices pulled straight from corporate bureaucracy.
Any organized military is necessarily a bureaucracy, and subject to the same ills and evils of any bureaucracy. The requirements for advancement within the organization, and of the organization within the society, will inevitably diverge from the requirements of the purpose of the organization.
It is an iron law.
It is a pretty well documented fact that in time of war the real combat leaders find their way into command postions. Even Stalin had to promote demonstrablly competent leaders that may have been found counter-revolutionaries in 1930’s Russia.
In a time of a serious war that the political leadership needs to win, with a military subject to civilian control that is true. You can clean up a bureaucracy from outside if you are on top, but it will start experiencing the divergence as soon as you stop the external control of promotion (or those in that external control stop prioritizing the goal over the politics).
Your point is true for pre-Vietnam. The military made it a point to NOT promote proven combat leaders ahead of others. After over a decade at war their were plenty of Colonels and Sergeants Major (even some Generals) with no time in Iraq or Afghanistan.
It certainly is hard to square the military that won WWII with what it has become since then. I suppose it has simply followed the trajectory of the country at large. Even stranger to think how Marshall and Taylor were roughly contemporaries.

People in Connecticut are furious with the decision to cancel high school football.
In a video tweeted late Wednesday by Dave Briggs, parents, players and coaches in the state were protesting the decision to cancel the 2020 football season and chanting “Let us play” at the state capitol in Hartford.
there is high school football in Connecticut
There’s high school football all through the great United States.
This is what infuriates me. These people probably support masks and lockdowns but somehow never gave it a moment’s thought that that MEANT.
Now they got touched by id directly and personally and they march on Hartford. IDIOTS, you should have done that with the lockdowns.
Better that people wake up late than never.
I find it somewhat reassuring. People are getting a taste of what their betters intend for them and they don’t like it.
I actually find it sad that with everything that has happened, HS football is the final straw. HS football? The nation’s children have been getting brainwashed for generations and parents just shrugged, but this… this must not stand.
I’m reserving any sense of relief until I see either torches and pitchforks or a freaking Red Wave (not a RINO/GOP surge but an honest turning back the BS) from the grass roots over the next couple years.
Football is the last straw for a lot of people.
Similarly, I think wokening the shit out of foorball is going to backfire in a way that the wokening of every other sport hasn’t quite achieved yet.
That’s why I’m hoping for some civil disobedience come Sunday. It’ll be entertaining watching the same media and police who said that the BLM “peaceful protests” were important and no risk to spread COVID say that the people (I hope) illegally tailgating are all going to die.
I’m also hoping to find a bar that’s ignoring as many restrictions as they can to watch the games in.
And, of course, that odious homunculus Collinson lets that sail right past him without bothering to ask, “How? How would you have saved those people? What would you have done differently? What specific steps would you have taken? And what would have been the ancillary effects of your response?”
The only sensible course of action would have been to protect the vulnerable population (old and/or sick) and let everyone else go about their lives. Protect means spell out very clearly what they should do to reduce chances of catching the commie cooties and strongly advise them to follow those measures.
So far everything they have done are crimes committed by the state and it did jack-shit.
From the NYP article: “It really invigorated me. I feel like my generation is finally coming into its moment,” Sragovich told the outlet at the time. “Unfortunately, that power comes from the fact we’re the ones being hunted and killed.”

Yep. Should be good.
That is the way to look at it….as bad as it may get, and I think it inevitably will get bad no matter who wins the election, it will be the only war since WWII that really matters.
It will definitely be one worth fighting as it will determine the state of liberty in this country for generations to come.
The beat goes on. Just make sure you’re the drummer.
It’s going to end soon because it will be forced too. People don’t seem to understand that’s it’s going to be worse before it gets better, the bills about to come due.

Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Wednesday that allegations about President Donald Trump, which are detailed in an upcoming book by journalist Bob Woodward, would not only cause Trump to lose the upcoming presidential election, but the GOP to lose control of the Senate as well.
In Woodward’s book, Rage, which is scheduled to be released on September 15, President Trump is alleged to have played down the threat of the coronavirus since the beginning of the pandemic. Trump also allegedly expressed his dislike for Democratic Vice Presidential candidate Kamala Harris and New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. Pelosi told MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell that Trump’s overall attitude towards other people would cause him to be voted out in November.
“I’m really excited about Joe Biden,” Pelosi said. “I think he’s going to be a great president. I never saw any hatred coming from Kamala Harris, and neither did the president. But he’s always projecting his negative attitudes onto the other people.”
We have thrown an army of hit men at him. This is the kill shot, for sure.
Is she under the impression that Trump supporters will be swayed by that drivel? The only woman more hated by Trump supporters than Harris and Ocasio-Cortez is Nancy Pelosi.
What a maroon.
That’s meta derp, a projectionist projecting by claiming someone else is projecting.
Even if it were true, I doubt Trump supporters (as opposed to people who might hold their nose and vote for Trump), will change their votes.
Woodward’s book isn’t being published by an evul corporashun, is it??
With nasty, nasty profits and everything!
?
She said, projecting.
Here’s how the BBC previewed the story: “The remark is contained in a book by the journalist Bob Woodward, who broke the Watergate scandal.”
As near as I can tell, Mattis’s musings about having to replace the President is hearsay in the book. it could have been easily confirmed by just asking Mattis, but I don’t see in the excerpt that he confirmed it.
So, swampy as Mattis may be, grain of salt. Of course, if he didn’t say it, its on him to deny it now. If he doesn’t, I’ll take that as confirmation.
There is little doubt that Mattis has a low view of Trump; whether this is specifically accurate is another question. I doubt that Mattis cares terribly about it, or that he would throw any kind of lifeline to the president.

Trying to parse this. Is he saying that, at a minimum, one’s wife should think there is a less than 10% chance she’s married to a rapist, so she doesn’t worry TOO much?
Or is he saying that the wife worrying that there is exactly a 10% chance of her husband being a rapist, is the optimal amount of worrying?
Or is he saying that, if one is a rapist, a husband should hope that his wife only has a minor, vague sense of unease, rather than being nearly certain she’s currently married to a rapist?
Think about it. If you were a wife, what would you want?

Ceteris paribus, except for a President Generic Democrat in the White House, CNN et al would be trumpeting our brave victory over the plague, because instead of the originally modelled 2.5 million dead, we have successfully kept our casualties to the low, low number of 190k.
SCIENCE has prevailed.
You mean 6% of 190K, right?
I’ve heard epidemiologists refer to it as a “harvesting event” that mostly takes the infirm who would die soon anyway.
As noted above, the real death toll will be best approximated with some analysis of excess deaths. Death data lags by about three months. I think a decent period for calculating excess deaths from the ‘Vid is calendar year 2020, so we can’t really find out until March or April of next year.
This is a nasty bug in some populations. I think the excess deaths number will be 40-60K, based on no analysis at all. Most people who die of any infectious disease die with comorbities. Often, the disease itself opens the door for comorbidities – for many people who die of flu (and the ‘Vid), the immediate cause of death is pneumonia, but they wouldn’t have gotten pneumonia if they hadn’t had the flu (or the ‘Vid). Its not as straighforward as only counting a death as caused by an infectious disease when that disease is the sole medical problem.
Excess deaths data washes out much of the noise around the question of “how many people died because of a pandemic”. There’s still a fair amount of analysis to be done with the raw data, but I think its the best way to get to an answer.
Minus the 30% who would have survived with HCL.
#TrumpLiedPeopleDied is trending on twitter, I was wondering when that old gem would come back #smartpower
Is everyone excited about Eagles vs. Football Team on Sunday?
Someone explain to me how more air movement inside a room causes suspended droplets to fall out of the air faster.

Where is our previously resident disc jockey/male fashion adviser anyway?
I haven’t seen him here in ages.
He was part of the Great Cosmo Exodus.
That’s something that happened?
Look around.

“Turbulent flow” clean rooms. Increase the air turnover rate sufficiently and the dwell time is decreased, even if the flow in non-laminar.
Pfft, I’d rather be funny than correct.
“Turnover rate” would seem to imply air changes. That’s not what they’re saying/
I would think droplets could move farther outdoors in a breeze.
Football Team’s QB #1 had an overrated rookie season, but they finally gave up using the washed up ex white extremist team RB #1 who is past his prime, but Team Owner isn’t very good. I don’t think they’ll get the oblong spheroid ball past the scoring demarcation line very much.
Dumb joke:
“What’s your favorite genre of movie?”
“Cowboys and Football Team.”
I don’t see how Washington Football Team wins 6 games this year.
They are firmly on track for the 1st overall pick.

“These pictures cry out for change. CA has invested more in wildfire prevention than any time in our history. Enacted bold climate policies. But it’s not enough.
We must do more. We need action at EVERY level. CA cannot do this alone.
Climate change is REAL.
So please — VOTE.”

Acceptance of wildfire as a natural cycle and not cramming people into warrens as well.
And they are on recess for the rest of the year.
Well at least they are on recess. Thank god.
It is not possible for me to feel more loathing towards Greasy Gav. California has for decades reduced controlled burns. A fraction of acreage gets purposefully burned in this state compared to Florida, a right to burn state. This has been decades in the making. It has nothing to do with your precious fucking Global Warming you fucking Getty puppet cokehead shitbag.
CA has invested more in wildfire prevention than any time in our history
Begs two questions:
(1) What counts as an investment in wildfire prevention?
(2) Was that a smart investment?
If Newsom is still drawing breath, then he isn’t serious about climate change.

Beware Fare Jumpers! Looks like the transit pigs are on the ball!
So, that youtube link of the nice rack last night: To be clear, she was mixing mayonnaise into the eggs before making an omelet?
Yup. That was mayonnaise.
Glad I missed this abomination.
Repost please. For science.

Winning friends and influencing people
New York Rep. Max Rose castigated Bill de Blasio, a fellow Democrat, as the worst mayor in New York City history in a seconds-long ad released Wednesday.
“Bill de Blasio is the worst mayor in the history of New York City,” the Staten Island Democrat says in the 15-second spot.
“That’s it, guys,” he adds after a brief pause. “That’s the whole ad.”
Okay.
Well, he’s not wrong.
I dunno, “worst mayor of NY” is a very tough competition.
My great-grandfather apparently hated Abe Beame with some serious intensity. Mom has said that, in the ’70s, he had a little joke he liked to tell: “Did you hear that they condemned Gracie Mansion? Yeah, they found a bum Beame in it!”
Right?!
LaGuardia was one of OG progs, Lindsay spent like a drunken sailor, Beame presided over the inevitable result when the economy nearly tanked, and Guiliani’s and Bloomberg’s faults have been discussed at length in recent years, but none of those clowns were the insufferable, hypocritical, lazy, Marxist prick that Deblasio is.
No cigarette drag or creepy smile? I am dissapoint.
That is my district. This guy has been running a series of tuff-gai ads attacking his opponent, but this is a new effort I haven’t seen on TV yet. I guess he’s angling for the “least worst Democrat in NYC” vote.
“One of the things I’m hearing over and over is people telling me their therapist will shame them for feeling politically homeless or voting for Trump AND FUCK THAT. What’s the point of going to therapy if you have to self-censor. Fire them.”

Feminist psychotherapy is a thing. It teaches that the therapist is to shame men and tell women that they are helpless victims. Super helpful for those with depression that think that they are terrible and there is nothing they can do to chang their circumstances.
Top response:
“I remember the good old days when therapists just tried to get into their patients’ pants.”
“I am always of the opinion that the more documentation and paperwork I provide, the more prepared I am.”
Spoken like a true bureaucrat.
That’s it. After years of trying, I’ve failed and been convinced by superior arguments. I’m marching into my handler’s office first thing in the morning and telling him I no longer want to be a Fed.
Are you going to use your real identity while you deliver your ultimatum, or are you going to rely on your supremacy?

Lions of Liberty reviewed Zardoz the other day: https://lionsofliberty.libsyn.com/475-zardoz-movie-review-a-half-naked-sean-connery-libertarian-future
Apparently so have many film podcasts.
For some reason I can’t load any of the tweeter links. Did I get kicked off finally?
Try logging off and clearing cookies.
Checking out. I’ve stayed rather long and impaired my plans for today. Stay golden, Pony-Boys (and mythical girls).
Bonne nuit, mustachioed one!
Finally saw the Dune trailer. They have the visuals. The actors are much closer to the right age (although still too old, but much better than the 1980s version). It may suck, but it looks like it has a chance to be okay. We shall see.
Looks promising.
But it won’t meet any inclusion requirements for an Oscar.
There’s already people complaining about that: ‘Dune’ Under Fire For Lacking MENA Representation . Warning, woke cracked, did not read.
I’m a fan of Navid Negahban. He would have fit in well.
Expecting exactly this was my second thought.
villenueve is awesome. I don’t thin I’ve seen a single film he’s done that wasn’t solid visually along with a solid story. I think it’s in great hand
The story is already solid. The key is to not fuck it up moving it to a new medium. Dont get cute.
The story is extremely non-visual. And one of the very few series set in a dystopian tyranny where you’re supposed to sympathize with the ruling family.
Not that I don’t love the books, mind you.
And the protagonist is, although more so in the second book, more anti-hero than hero.
Well most of the books…
It’s a pity Herbert died before he could finish the second trilogy.
It is not like Herbert didn’t steal it from the Koran in the first place.
The OCB stole from a bunch of works.
No, I mean the plot of the first trilogy, not the OCB. The first trilogy is not all that loosely based around the rise of Islam.
Never read Dune and never watched the 80s movie, I’m not a fan of David Lynch. But I have known of Dune for a long time, and at some time in 90s I remember seeing a copy at my grandparent’s house next to my Grandpa’s chair. Looking back I can see he was mayhaps a ‘closet nerd’. Outwardly a semi driving, bull wrangling farmer, but seeing as my ‘closet nerd’ dad watched Star Trek TOS when it aired when he was 11, I’m guessing his dad also watched that to.
I cannot recommend it enough. It is easily my most read novel. Although “I’m a Ballerina” is rapidly catching up.
^This. I also notice something new every time I read them.
Kyle MacLachlan and Sean Young were 25 in 1984.
Timothee Chalomet and Zendaya are 25 and 24 in 2020.
But, Chalomet, at least, looks like he can pull off a Hollywood teenager.
I guess they couldn’t find any young looking 19 year olds to handle the roles.
They couldn’t find any seers either. Pretending to be other people with other traits is called acting. People worry too much about adherence to the book. Either a movie works as a movie or it doesn’t but it will never be the same experience as the book it is based on.
Chani looks pretty effing young in the trailer.
Yes, I was surprised when I looked up the ages. Kyle and Sean just looked out of place trying to play YOUNG teenagers (Sting too). I think this time around looks good enough for suspension of disbelief.
I have found a flaw, at least on imdb. No listing for Princess Irulan in the cast. WTF? How can you cut her out?
Answering my own question, no listing for the Emperor or Feyd, so this isnt covering the whole book. Two or three movies? I am even more excited now. Although I still don’t know how you don’t have Irulan, she has to do the opening voice over!
I read it was going to be two movies, and there is talk of a TV series centered on the ongoing adventures of the Bene Gesserit.
This guy has been doing videos about the development of the movie since it was a rumor,
I’ve watched some of his stuff. He’s a totally committed nerd.
That was my first thought
I was wrong, but they LOOK much closer.
Yeah, I can’t believe Kyle was only 25 then. He looked much older. Maybe a sign of the times – lots of people looked kind of shitty on film back then.
We’ve reached nosepicking stage on the four hour Zoom class as people forget they’re on video.
People have their video active for four-hour meetings?!
I thought it was weird at a job interview last week when I was the only one showing video.
That’s because you were actually being screened for illegal medical experiments.
Refugee
John Sykes, a 50-year resident, managed to flee with his car and some clothes, but he watched the town burn from about a mile away.
“The school is gone, the fire department’s gone, the bar’s gone, the laundromat’s gone, the general store’s gone,” Sykes told the Sacramento Bee, adding, “I’ll never go back. … I never want to see California again.”
Do us a favor, and move to Connecticut. It’s already fucked.
““The school is gone, the fire department’s gone, the bar’s gone, the laundromat’s gone, the general store’s gone,” Sykes told the Sacramento Bee, adding, “I’ll never go back. … I never want to see California again.””
The devastation was fine when it was Antifa doing it. Happening naturally though is a cause for concern.

Surf or die
Washington Gov. Jay Inslee placed the blame squarely on climate change and promised “steps to defeat” the impact of global warming.
“We are not going to surrender the future of this state to climate change,” he said. “We are stronger, smarter and more resilient than that.” And I’ll be thinking of these fires and the communities they’re impacting when we take our next steps to defeat climate change.
Quick, convert the state’s entire fleet of fire trucks to electric. That’ll save you.
That’s Gold Five level dedication to messaging.
Enjoy the rolling blackouts, Washington.
Lies, damned lies, and public health models
South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem has dismissed a report suggesting the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally was a “superspreading event” for COVID-19 that cost billions of dollars in health costs.
Researchers from the Center for Health Economics and Policy Studies at San Diego State University in California claimed event, which attracted nearly 500,000 visitors, may have resulted in 266,796 new coronavirus cases—nearly 20 percent of the 1.4 million new cases of COVID-19 recorded in the U.S. between August 2 and September 2.
The annual event, which ran from August 7 to August 17, did not enforce social distancing guidelines and the wearing of masks in the was were not mandatory. Photographs show large crowds spilling out into the streets from Sturgis’ bars, with an outdoor concert by the band Smash Mouth also taking place at the rally.
The study described how the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally saw many of “worst-case scenarios” for superspreading occurring simultaneously.
——-
“We’re never going to be able to contact trace every single person from Sturgis,” Andrew Friedson, one of four authors of the study, told the Sioux Falls Argus Leader.
“So if we want a good-faith estimate using, at the moment, the accepted statistical techniques … this is the best number we’re going to get in my opinion.”
The review has since been dismissed by Gov. Noem, who backed the event to go ahead amid the outbreak as it provides a major economic boost to the state
“This report isn’t science. It’s fiction,” Noem tweeted.
“Under the guise of academic research, it’s nothing short of an attack on those who exercised their personal freedom to attend Sturgis
“Predictably, some in the media breathlessly report on this non-peer-reviewed model, built on incredibly faulty assumptions that do not reflect the actual facts and data.
Noem added: “At one point, academic modeling also told us that South Dakota would have 10,000 COVID patients in the hospital at our peak. Today, we have less than 70.
“I look forward to good journalists, credible academics, and honest citizens repudiating this nonsense.”
They are so desperate to “prove” her wrong, they’ll promote any lie, no matter how fantastic.
There seems to be absolutely zero proofreading going on at major publications anymore.
I’ve heard epidemiologists refer to it as a “harvesting event” that mostly takes the infirm who would die soon anyway.
As noted above, the real death toll will be best approximated with some analysis of excess deaths. Death data lags by about three months. I think a decent period for calculating excess deaths from the ‘Vid is calendar year 2020, so we can’t really find out until March or April of next year.
I think it’s safe to assume there were a lot of deaths “pulled forward” by this. Maybe next year’s numbers will be surprisingly light, in isolation.
That Atlas guy talks about excess deaths, and the press treat him like some sort of mental case.
