“Thank you, George Floyd, for sacrificing your life for justice. For being there to call out to your mom — how heartbreaking was that — call out for your mom, ‘I can’t breathe.’”
“Are you happy with this statement, Nan?” Kamala asked as she stalked back and forth behind a sleeping Joe, hand half down his pants, a bowl of cooling justice mush on the desk before him.
“I am very proud-sch of it,” Nancy slurred, her upper plate clapping, her track-marked bingo wings quivering. Vaccines, she had assured them. Just dozens of vaccines.
“I called for conviction and got it,” Joe said suddenly. “I am the moral center of America’s Wisconsin.”
Both women ignored him.
“He was murdered,” Kamala said. “He didn’t volunteer to die for Minnesota’s sins.”
“I can’t breathe!” Nancy said, ripping off her floral mask.
“That’s in very bad taste,” Kamala said.
“I can’t taste anything,” Joe sang. “My tastebuds are too old. They-ey-ey said they would make new ones for me.” When Nancy turned to look out the window, Kamala mimed strangling Joe behind his back. Then she softened, patted his thin hair down on his scabby scalp, and rubbed him affectionately behind one ear.
“I love you, Dr. Jill,” he told her.
“Thank you, FedEx workers, for sacrificing your lives for justice. For being there to call out to some Congresspeople — how heartbreaking was that — call out to some Congresspeople, ‘Close the gun-show loophole.’”
Nancy looked out the Oval Office window, wondering when someone would finally take a photo of her so Instagram plants could praise it as “iconic.”
“It is days like this thatsh makes me proud to be a Californian,” she said, but no one took the bait.
“Where is Newsweek?!?” she said, stamping her bloated feet.
“Thank you, Asian rub-n-tug workers, for sacrificing your lives for Asian justice. For being there to call out to your elderly co-workers — how heartbreaking was that — call out to them, ‘I can’t make a fist.”
“Protect Joe,” Major thought. “Protect Joe.” The tension in his body held him rigid under the desk.
We live in a world where everything is coming up Biden. There is no god.
It’s a horror show.
Biden’s cognitive abilities are utter shit, and the left doesn’t even bother to spin his racist bullshit statements like commenting on the “Japanese boy” who won the Master’s tournament.
Can you even imagine if a republican politician said “Japanese Boy”? I’m not a GOPer, but lets be honest about journalistic bias.
Or repeatedly called a foreign head of government by a diminutive of his first name throughout like Dementia Joe did for “Yoshi”.
Kenosha Joe!
Do we now live in a world without your firsting verbal swagger? I was disappointed. Truly, there is no god.
I have newfound respect for Brochettaward. So much so that I’m no longer going to call him Broketard.
We live in a world where everything is coming up Biden. There is no god.
An alternative take would be that this is evidence that there is a god, and he is punishing us for our sins.

I had to tell the neurology people evaluating my husband’s brain function to quit asking him who is the vice president because being woken up and immediately asked “Who is the vice president?” was really not conducive to a good day for anyone involved.
If he said, “Mike Pence”‘, would they try to get him canceled and censored for promoting the stolen election narrative?
If he replied to that question by answering, “A bucket of warm piss,” give him a prize.
YES!
Kamala should have been giggling while saying that.
Sloshed Nancy might be my favorite character here. If only that old chick from Arrested Development were still around and could somehow be convinced to play her.
She has a pretty profound speech impediment that she hides well until she really gets worked up.

Sorry, SF, but this is just too precious to not be shared
Over the past few decades, the U.S. government has spent hundreds of millions of dollars hunting down new viruses in animals, largely wild animals, in hopes of stopping a pandemic. And yet those efforts failed to find – and stop — SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, before it spread around the world.
I sincerely hope the person who wrote that has suffered some sort of blunt force head trauma. I’d hate to think s/he is just that intrinsically stupid.
NPR? More like WTF?
“For decades, scientists have hunted for undiscovered viruses before the spillover occurs.”
LOL, whut? Pretty sure if the virus is an actual threat to humans, the virus itself will let us know.
Why would we hunt for them?
Just a guess, but I’m going to say “weaponization”.
I feel dirty just typing that.
For SPORT!

Why would we hunt for them?
Why do we think we can control the climate? Humanity has a “Tower of Babel” complex.
They’re still peddling the wet-market nonsense? LOL
Very informative article. We now know exactly what they are not allowed to talk about.
Seriously, fuck off NPR.
This all goes back to covering Wuhan’s ass. No, I don’t think COVID is a bioweapon, but the idea that the virus in bats from a thousand miles away shows up in a city with a virology lab studying the same damn virus and the lab had nothing to do it at all is jizzing in a girl’s hair and telling her it’s Twinkie filling.
Even if there was an animal like pangolins in between this is an astounding coincidence that everyone just shrugs at.
^^
Occam’s Razor is crystal clear on this. If a virology lab is experimenting on enhancing a certain type of virus, and an enhanced version of that very type of virus shows up literally within sight of the lab, well, c’mon, man!
You know, I cannot refer to the city and virus in the same sentence know that Joe has solved that problem via EO, but you might just be onto something.
This is not a healthy individual.

*things we’d like to think we’re clever enough to say
Spiro Agnew?
Fun fact: an anagram for Spiro Agnew is Grow A Penis
I think that could easily be worked into the gender trainwreck of Joemala.
The justice systemmob violence worked.“This was not the system working. This was people making the system work. That’s the key,” Jones emphasized. “Don’t forget — initially, the police report said, oh, it’s a medical incident, somebody died. What do we know? The initial charging document for the local prosecutor was a joke. Literally, a piece of tissue paper that somebody sneezed on. Nothing. People rose up and said we’re not going to let this go. The governor stepped in; gave the case to Keith Ellison, who is an African-American Muslim progressive guy that everybody rallied around before to get in office. Keith Ellison put so many resources on the table. You’ve never seen a prosecution like that of anybody.”
He continued, “And so what happened is the voting worked. You can tell the young people now voting matters. The protesting worked. You can tell young people marching matters. And the truth. The fact that people got involved with their video cameras and captured it. Citizen engagement matters. So, there’s a formula now to show people we can make the system work for change. That’s what’s new.”
If you had told me a year ago that libertarians would be so upset that a cop who had over a dozen brutality complaints against him got convicted of murder of a guy who died in his custody, i would have been a bit incredulous.
I must admit, I’m glad to have this site to read. A part of me was really into the ‘he might be innocent.’ but the reality at the end of the day is, if held to a normal persons standard, kneeling on someone’s neck until they die is pretty cut and dry. Had he not been a police officer, this would’ve probably never even gone to trial, jut a plea bargain for some form of murder.
kneeling on someone’s neck until they die is pretty cut and dry
I admit I was not really following the trial, but I thought reports were that he died later, which makes it less cut and dry. Seemed more like a negligent homicide situation or some such, which is what I think Chauvin offered to plea to, since there was video evidence for that.
Not only did he die under the knee, but Chauvin stayed there for a further 3 minutes after he died.
Well, that does make it pretty cut and dry then.
Had he not been a police officer, this would’ve probably never even gone to trial, jut a plea bargain for some form of murder.
Undoubtedly true.
Horse shit.
I have told many people that if we lived in a just society an armed citizen would have shot Chauvin in the face to stop the killing of Floyd.
It completely consistent to hold that belief and to then complain about threats of mob violence perverting the justice system.
“It completely consistent to hold that belief and to then complain about threats of mob violence perverting the justice system.”
^^^!!!
My problem is not that Chauvin will have to face time for his crimes.
My problem is that the justice system didn’t work properly. There was only one outcome allowable by politicians and the mob. That’s not a good precedent.
Huh, would have thought that the left would be the party of lynching?
*except for everyone that knows their history and constant progjection of the things they purport to be against
My problem is that the justice system didn’t work properly. There was only one outcome allowable by politicians and the mob. That’s not a good precedent.
Yep. This won’t end well.
I am of the opinion that Fentanyl Floyd died of a drug overdose. Also, I hate to see someone get railroaded in a political show-trial and convicted of multiple contradicting charges surrounding a single event with a single “victim” even if that person is cop.
Yeah, from what I saw of the trial and the expert testimony, it’s not at all clear that Floyd was killed by Chauvin rather than by a drug overdose, since he had 3 times the lethal does of fentanyl in his system.

“Skewered.” heh.
Her Twitter feed went to “limited viewership” a short while ago. Looks like the replies skewering her were too much for her.
And, of course, if the cops just stood by and didn’t respond to a report of two black kids in a knife fight, well, that would be racism, too.

Is it known yet what the dispute was about?
Pink Girl called Stabby a “buffarillo.”
True story:
When I was in college, a group of Alpha Kappa Alphas was having some sort shindig and were singing their songs in front of the international student’s dorm in the wee hours of the morning.
A pissed-off Malaysian leaned out of the window and screamed at them to stop being “loud water buffalos.”
Thus began a weeks long racism brou-ha-ha, back in the days before such things were daily occurances.
OU always was ahead of the curve.
Yeah, I remember that. Wasn’t it a national news story for weeks?
I thought it happened at UPenn, and was a Jewish student using the term saying that it was a translation of a Hebrew insult.

It also wasn’t AKAs apparently.
I plead the drugs giving me false memories.
Or maybe it’s… are we in the Bearenstain universe?
Seriously, a bunch of cops cannot take down a teenage girl with a knife without shooting her several times? I mean even if she’s a buffarillo? And btw, isn’t that a ‘buffarilla‘? This illiteracy problem is getting worse.
a bunch of cops cannot take down a teenage girl with a knife without shooting her several times
I dunno. Knives are serious business, deadly weapons (literally). Shooting someone going after a third party with a knife is a clean self-defense shoot. This one doesn’t give me that much heartburn, on my basic principle that cops and real people should both be judged on the same basis when they shoot someone.
Cops should be held to a higher standard, IMO and be able to be fired for cause immediatelly.
(One can dream)
Cops should be held to a higher standard, IMO
In general, I tend to agree. Parsing out just what that standard should be is the hard part, especially if you believe they have an affirmative duty to intervene in dangerous situations (unlike regular people).
fired for cause immediatelly
Completely agree.
All hindsight here but if she were say 15-20 feet away from anyone else, yeah. She was in the act of or about to engage in stabbing another human being. Any person in that cops shoes would have probably done the same. As RC says, that knife will kill you as you flail around trying to disarm/tackle her. This isn’t an action movie and not everyone in some expert Jackie Chan master at defensive tactics.

I look stuff up for a living, you know. Not all of us get by with good looks and ditzy heiresses.

Clearly, I have wasted my time upon this earth.
Given the words and behaviors of the race grifters, mental deficients at the $x-studies department, protesters, etc. talk, is it any wonder that some white people think that forming an all-white nation is a preferable arrangement to what we have now? (I do not count myself among those, given the state of the country I can see how one could reach that conculsion, stupid as it may be).
Racial identity politics is almost always counterproductive and stupid but whites identifying and voting explicitly along those lines will be the inevitable result of all of this. It’s unfortunate but it’s going to happen.
Yep – making the whitey the one group it is acceptable to hate and discriminate against is going to have terrible consequences.
And race wars are always such civil affairs.
It didn’t have to be like this. It wasn’t like this until recently – it was done purposely.
No, it did not. I am having more and more trouble refuting your latter point.
Not at all. The Grievance Industry has been telling everyone that all their freedoms have to go because of minorities. You can’t have freedom of speech because racist people use it. You can’t have the right to bear arms because inner-city minority neighborhoods have too much crime. We can’t have elections that are even a little bit secure because black people are allegedly incapable of getting a driver’s license. We have to pay insane taxes because they supposedly need all these welfare programs for minorities (some of whom came here illegally).
Yes, sooner or later, many wypipo are going to say, “If we can’t have a country somewhat like what the Founders envisioned because of minorities, then fuck having minorities here.”
The only thing stopping that is the vast majority of people, the same ones sneered at and called racists, aren’t racists at all but rather decent people. But keep pushing until we have Northern Ireland, or the Balkans, or Rwanda.
This process has been moving at a low simmer since the early 70s. And the country mostly dealt with it.
For some reason I don’t quite understand, someone turned the knob to 11 in the last few years and here we are.

It is called ‘equity in prog-speak.’
Yes. It is clear to me that “equity” means taking away from me to give to someone else.
Holy hell. I got volunteered to provide use “expertise” for a system migration project. The contract company is basically trying to recreate a proprietary report system into a new system. And they’re right now trying to figure out which data to capture from the upstream and display it into the new system, all without direct access to the old report system to actually see what is being shown. And asking me which raw data field types are needed. Of course the end report system just displays the data, not the data type labels.
That sounds awful.
I’ve done it a few times. Depending on what the data is, might not be too bad.
Right now, I export data from an object oriented db into a relational sql database and build reports in MSRS.
I’ve used Crystal Reports a lot and really like it.
I simplified it a bit and only focused on the part I had today.
This is an ungodly tar pit. Basically it’s moving the existing longtime proprietary (meaning we didn’t build it and the ones who did are long gone and existing system is supported by a company we no longer wish to give any money to) work management system into SalesForce.
But you said it’s only reporting, right? What’s the DB?
These aren’t like end of week summary reports, sorry, I simplified it a bit too much. Or obfuscated it. The reports, which essentially is what they are, are basis for work orders. The DB is also proprietary but isn’t changing. It’s the downstream work management system getting moved into SF.
I hope I’ll be excluded from the larger migration part. Today’s meeting was enough for me.
“The DB is also proprietary”
Yikes. I saw one of those once. We called it the ‘blackhole’. I did parse some data out of that for some reports.
What you guys need, is a rewrite.
Throw away all the old data and old process, because you’re starting over whether you like it or not.
I wish. That part isn’t up to me. None of it is.
I think I’ll work my resume and the like instead.

I have mentioned, in the past, that my firm unveiled a matching gift program for social justice causes last August (2020), to much fanfare.
I’ve still got a cron job polling the site; from our company of about 9,000 employees we ended up with… 146 donations (and that may not even have been 146 individuals). Last couple of donations were late December/early January (prompted by tax deductions, presumably).
I remain unconvinced our thousands of Indian employees GAF about any of this (though I imagine the Indian woman are support of the who “let’s have fewer rapes” movement going on over there – not on ).

Here’s a good writeup about Portlandia from someone who actually lives there.
The surreal new reality of Portlandia
They used to ask you if the chicken has a name. Now they steal the chicken and burn down your restaurant.
And this has put those of us who consider ourselves “of the Left” in a dangerous predicament. I am not a gun enthusiast. I never wanted to own guns, but I do — for the same reason I would if I lived in a war zone. The civil authority has abandoned the law-abiding citizens of Portland, and in so doing it has created a new Wild West in which we are each responsible for protecting ourselves from bands of roving bandits.
I never owned guns until the left decided lethal action was moral action.
““of the Left”
See, a lot of these people don’t even understand what that term means. They’ve been deceived into thinking it’s synonymous with the term ‘liberal’.
And they won’t learn it in school. Add to that they’re too dull and unmotivated to do their own research to learn it. They just sit around and soak up the TMITE, which leads to further brain damage.
The only thing missing is that you essentially will not be allowed to defend yourself or your property. It’s not just abandoned to the mob, but the mob is de facto protected. And the Dems in the legislature are trying to further erode decent gun rights.
I also get a feeling that the author, despite all that has happened, still wants to be a leftist rather than actually examining how his beliefs are wrong and contributory to this morass. But I also understand why someone wouldn’t want to do that.
It’s almost like empty slogans are worthless.
Too busy to read the whole thing but I’ll just mention that I’ve known for a couple decades there is only one sort of person who deliberately moves to that city from somewhere else. Like my “anarchist” friend of a friend who did so. (He was a lefty shitbag.)
“don’t-hurt-me wall”
It’s really a shame and if you defend your property or yourself you’re the one that goes to prison. I feel bad for the people there.
Of course. Naturally.
The entire point is burn Western civilization to the ground.
That guy really does need to do his homework.

Progressive and Democrats have historically been pretty effing racist. Not sure who zhe is referring to as “liberals”.
I watched the first couple of episodes of Top Chef, which was filmed in Portland over the past year, and it’s fucking ridiculous. There is no mention of the riots or violence rampant in the city, just that they wanted to highlight Portland’s awesome culture and approvingly spoke about their support for the “fight for racial equality” that was taking place there. Plus of course the Covid idiocy.
I really don’t think I can watch anymore of it, and I used to love that show.
I feel a little for Bret, and wish neither him or family ill.
However, he planted the seeds for this shit and dutifully tended this garden at Evergreen for quite a while and then acts surprised when it bears fruit.
Really? I do. And I think he does too. The whole article is an exercise in avoiding the obvious conclusion that his comrades “on the Left” have proven themselves to be vicious barbarians, and that what we are seeing in Portland other Leftist strongholds isn’t some fringe aberration, but the natural course of Leftism unchecked.
I could only read a portion of the article, but it becomes easier to understand phenomenon like Pinochet and such.

They are tasked with keeping people from going postal?
“The work involves having analysts trawl through social media sites to look for what the document describes as “inflammatory” postings and then sharing that information across government agencies.”

Heh. They don’t even have the technical prowess to replace their 1990 computer equipment in the offices. I think we’re safe.

They have the capability to scan every single piece of mail I receive and send me an image.
That would seem right in line with scraping sites.

And get a good set of sharpening stones; they’re not expensive. Even the best knife in the world turns into a shitty knife eventually if you don’t sharpen it, and who has time to take them to a professional sharpener??
Dude, what in the everloving fuck is this bullshit???? Even the USPS is running a neo-Stasi spying operation?
How else can we stop all this thought crime?
So their scoop is the USPIS found “A number of groups were expected to gather in cities around the globe on March 20 as part of a World Wide Rally for Freedom and Democracy” Money well spent, nothing left to cut, the cupboards are bare…
Gotta give the Bee some credit. They have some major balls on them to not let the foot off the pedal and churn out what they have in the past 24 hours.

For a nice change of pace:
New Biomechanical Model Shows Tyrannosaurus rex Walked Surprisingly Slowly
I don’t think it’s walking speed is important if you were a target for it’s next meal. It would be how fast could they get in a burst of running gear and for how long could they maintain it? Bears sort of amble around, but they’re actually pretty fast if they decide to attack.
“There were already some studies investigating dinosaur walking speed, but they mostly looked at the legs and ignored the tail — which is what makes dinos so unique,” Van Bijlert says. “They usually found much higher walking speeds. The one we calculated is lower, but it’s similar to that of other animals.”
Like watching alligators walk around. There’s “getting from one place to another” and “catching lunch”. This article was not about “catching lunch”.
Yeah, think that the consensus is that the large theropods occupied a similar ecological niche to the one big cats now occupy. Ambush predators that were capable of getting up to speed quickly to catch prey.
Very interesting read.

Catholicism is not mainline Religion i guess.
American Catholicism, or that Italian kind?
The ones that don’t listen to the Pope.
Declining membership in mainline Protestant churches in this country is pretty well documented isn’t it?
I was mostly commenting on the idea that Mainline religion is left liberal and that we are used to this.
/looks at current Pope
You sure about that?
It’s unfortunate that the people responding to him on substack are morons.
This puts Politics upstream of Culture, and that culture can be curated if we just get the right strongman in charge.
Become them to beat them? Nope, not necessary.
Also doesn’t really make sense. In order to preserve your belief that you want to be left alone and politics shouldn’t be everything, you need to make politics everything in your life.
“Assuming practically nobody donated to both Trump and Biden, which seems a pretty safe bet…”
I wouldn’t call that a safe bet at all. What about those who donate to both as an insurance policy?
Basically, the squealy wheel gets the grease.
To delve more deeply into this, read ‘Radical Son’ by David Horowitz. Both of his parents were card carrying members of the Communist Party. That’s around the time, back in the 20s-30s, they changed their name to ‘progressive’ because back then you couldn’t just go around in society proclaiming that you’re a Communist.
To cut to the point, he said practically every conversation in their house was about politics, 24/7. The left are obsessed with it because it’s their religion.
For being there to call out to your mom — how heartbreaking was that — call out for your mom
Now do Kelly Thomas.
“I am the moral center of America’s Wisconsin.”
Minnesoda haz a sad.
And/or Daniel Shaver.
Or Ashli Babbitt or Duncan Lemp.
It could have been one of them Sodas, or one of them Consins.

Florida Man
Broward County Public Schools Superintendent Robert Runcie was arrested Wednesday morning on a charge of perjury in an official proceeding. School Board attorney Barbara Myrick was also arrested.
Runcie, 59, was taken into custody by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and has since been released from the Broward County Main Jail.
According to his indictment, Runcie lied under oath between the dates of March 31 and April 1 while testifying under oath to a state grand jury.
The former Archbishop of Canterbury??
“All BCPS employees are afforded due process, including the Superintendent.”
FIRE HER IMMEDIATELY!
They have empty jail cells in Broward County? I thought those were full of counterfeit ballots?
Just checking in, Glibs.
SF, this was hysterical. Thanks for the laughs. I’d never thought about how to write a drunk slur, so also grateful for that.
I submitted my third ramblings – sorry for not having it in time for the Tuesday slot, but I had a ton of shit dropped on me. I’m hopeful I should be able to keep up a steady pace moving forward as I just got my telework chit approved.
Gotta run for a hearing, but wishing all of Glibdom well in these “interesting” times.
Jesus H spitbucket, Nancy said that? We are ruled by morons………The rest……hilarious and disturbing.
