I worked a bit too much this past weekend – and now my manager is off today, laid out by Shot #2. I think this has been one of the lesser days, in terms of productivity, in a while. But I have managed to slap together…er, lovingly handcraft some links for you lot.
- E-papers, please. (TW: Reuters “analysis”) Poor Europe, if she only had some experience in requiring some sort of identification documentation…
- Anyone with a basic understanding of biology prepare for a mighty eyeroll (“It is intelligent even though it has no nervous system,” she added. “It is capable of learning, memorising but also of transmitting information to its fellow creatures.”) [Oh, and no, she is not describing Congress]
- In 1986….”Hey, Yuri, you hear alarm?”
- The headline should be taken literally, not in the more exciting way.
So go do that commenting voodoo, that you do…
That is my line!
So Well!
He left it off because he keeps squinting at the quality of our commentary.
Get a shitload of dimes!
“It is intelligent even though it has no nervous system,” she added. “It is capable of learning, memorising but also of transmitting information to its fellow creatures.” For example, it can find its way through a maze.”
Plenty of living things without a nervous system can communicate. No idea about the maze thing.
I don’t really think she is using “intelligent” and “learning” properly.
But they are fascinating, if they do indeed have more than one nucleus per cell.
Don’t slime molds do that too?
Slime molds fill the maze to find the nutrients, then retract from any areas not necessary to connect to the food sources, leaving a thin line along the most efficient route.
True story: I couldn’t get into the HBO production of Chernobyl due to the Brit accents. Really just took me out of the story.
I know, I am weak.
I assume you hated The Death of Stalin, too?
Oddly no. It was a comedy so I guess that helped.
I couldn’t get into it due to not having access to HBO.
Everyone knows that no true Russian would speak in anything but a Scottish accent.
He was a Lithuanian speaking Russian, so a Scottish accent is appropriate.
I was in boot camp when Chernobyl happened. Which means we are somewhere near the anniversary of Reagan bombing Libya.
Line of Death
Our dorm had a party…”Line of Dance”
I watched it with my dad who worked on nuclear power plants in the 70s. He had a lot of insight about the shitty design.
I read a detailed report on it once. The crazy Ivans decided to run half-baked experiments on reactor with no containment dome. The live reactor core ended up in the parking lot.
The only TV show on Chernobyl worth watching is the one where Team Scorpion goes to Chernobyl to contain the fallout.
I miss Scorpion so much. Dumbest television show ever created.
“The headline should be taken literally, not in the more exciting way.”
I’m not saying it was aliens.
I couldn’t roll my eyes any farther back in my head when I saw that.
That “It was Aliens” guy with the crazy hair had an amusing cameo in Resident Alien. I think he is in on the joke.
He’s made a living as “Cazy hair alien guy” on the covention circuit. He’s in on the joke.
I potentially have an entertainment project that he will be a part of (behind-the-scenes consultancy)
If you meet him, let us know what he’s like in real life.
If I recall one of the glibs does know him, or is it that their wives are friends?
If I had hair like that, I would not have a wife.
I would have a lady…
Not for nothing, but I took some math and engineering courses with the Mission Commander for Dragon Endeavor. We were in the same class at trade school.
A “rough” school was it?

Census releases House apportionment for next decade
Texas will gain two congressional seats, while a number of Northeast and Midwest states will see their delegations shrink slightly, according to the new apportionment figures released Monday by the Census Bureau.
Texas, which had 36 congressional seats for the past decade, will elect two additional members of the House in next year’s midterm elections. Other states that will add a single House seat: Colorado, Florida, Montana, North Carolina and Oregon.
Meanwhile, seven states each lost a seat. Other than California, they were all east of the Mississippi River: Illinois, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.
Clearly we now have to expand the House of Representatives.
To about 11,000 representatives. Have 435 do the actual work and have the rest simply vote up or down on the legislation.
I have toyed with the idea of selecting members of the House selected in the same way jury duty is doled out. Perhaps you are only selected for one vote or a whole term, I dunno … just an idle thought.
I wonder what the apportionment would look like if they redid the census right now.
That being said we need an amendment to require a census every five years. People are much more mobile these days.
California gains seats instead of losing one?
Do mean from illegal immigration? Because I read people bailed out of NY and CA in droves. I’m surprised GA didn’t pick up a seat too.
Yes, because under the Biden control, illegal aliens would be counted as part of the population, rather than citizens and lawful permanent residents excluding illegal aliens and other temporary non-residents.
Don’t worry. The Douglass Commonwealth will pick up a seat in the House and 2 in the Senate to help offset any losses.
If Cali is going to loose one, we all know who it should be. And who it will be.

Bullshit.
“So, without censorship of some sort, they win we lose.”
Welp, there it is.
Both sides to this. The GOP and the Dems are always moaning about how the other side has an edge in public debate because they have no morals and are willing to lie and say anything. They on the other hand are shackled by their high minded civic principles.

No need to embrace even more evil to push it.”

I can hear Daddy Warbucks snickering in the other room
But corporate America’s newfound support for more public investment is not a temporary phenomenon. We are witnessing the most profound realignment in American political economy in nearly forty years. President Ronald Reagan summed up the conventional wisdom that reigned from the mid-1970s onward in the United States: “Government is not the solution to our problem, government is the problem.” Economists, policymakers, and everyday Americans alike generally accepted that markets, unfettered and free, are the best way to create economic growth.
That ideology began to crack after the Great Recession, and in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, it has collapsed. The rise of ethno-nationalism on the right and democratic socialism on the left testify to the growing disillusionment with the conventional wisdom of how government and economics are supposed to work.
It’s not just the fringes questioning free market orthodoxy in a time of disease. Cross-partisan supermajorities of Americans want some of the biggest companies of America to be broken up, significantly higher minimum wages, a wealth tax on billionaires, and believe significantly more public investment is required to create economic growth.
——-
The new managed market paradigm is bigger than Bidenomics or any particular economic agenda—it is a story about how the economy works.
We went from living in a country where markets couldn’t be touched to one where Americans believe the state has an important role in managing them to create prosperity. What killed off free market mythology, and what will come next?
Industrial Policy is not only possible, it is necessary. All those other guys just weren’t doing it right.
Hi-ho Silver! Awaaaaaay!!!!
The new managed market paradigm
Needs a snazzy logo… maybe a bundle of sticks to show how united business people are, centered around some representation of the beneficial government…
And a catchy tagline, like “Stronger together”.
“I’m with it.”
“Work will set us free!”
What killed it off was that Big Corp was about to go under and in return for a bailout they became Big Gov’s bitches.
True for banks and automakers. Not so much for other corporations, though.
Oh, and whatever industry Boeing is in. I’m not sure word to use for “making planes that intentionally fall out of the sky”.
Cruise missiles.
Well, I suppose. The passenger seats seem unnecessary, though.
If you look at the revolving door of CEO’s, you can see how controlling banks and automobiles definitely gets your nose under the tent. Sure you may not be CEO of a bank or a car company today, but that doesn’t mean you won’t be 5 years down the road. And I’m pretty sure Big Gov is keeping tabs on who is towing the lion.
True. They’ve already got these companies quasi-nationalized; taking it further to either other industries, more power, or both, seems like the logical next step. And of course, there are lots of sinecures to reward your friends with along the way.
A little bit of Venezuelan Bolivarianism right here at home.
We went from living in a country where markets couldn’t be touched
What country was that?
Pre-Wickard US.
Wickard ended the individual’s right to participate in markets without state permission, but I’d say West Cost Hotel is where the state’s supremacy over markets was really established.
Justice Robert’s vote was the one that that overturned the previous precedent.
The more things change, the more they remain the same.
If you can make it all the way through that Time blather, you’re tougher than I am.
“Multiple members of a white supremacist group in rural Georgia have been charged with killing a ram and posing with its head following a ‘ritual sacrifice’ that involved them drinking the animal’s blood while they were training for a race war.
Five members of The Base were charged earlier this month with killing the ram during what authorities have said was a ‘ritual sacrifice’ at the group’s training camp in the small Georgia town of Rome back in 2019.
Patrik Mathews, William Garfield Bilbrough IV, Brian Mark Lemley Jr., Brandon Gregory Ashley and Duncan Christopher Trimmell have been charged with aggravated animal cruelty by a Floyd County grand jury, according to an indictment obtained by the Rome News-Tribune.”

Actual white supremacists?
I see 8 LARPers.
So three actual supremacists in the group photo?
Could be. The recruiters for white supremacist groups are going to use the “might as well be hanged for a goat as a lamb” argument. We may see in actuality an increase in white supremacist members/groups.
Doesn’t “al queda” translate into English as “the base?” This has to be something the FBI ginned up.
1) As a non-religious person, it seems to me that nailing these guys for animal cruelty is going to be a slippery slope for other religions. The Bible seems chock full of examples of people killing goats and sheep to placate doG. I’m sure that the 1A implications will be overlooked because these are icky white supremacists.
2) St. Paul better do an extra good job vetting the people who adopt this “white furred” goat that was found wandering the streets. The poor thing could find itself supper for a bunch of Minnesoda Nazis.
Goat on the lam?
Better than Goat on the Spam.

The wrangling over vaccine passports resembles last year’s debates over contact-tracing apps, which some experts thought could help stem the pandemic but mostly foundered in the face of technical bickering, lack of uptake, and huge waves of infection that rendered them mostly moot.
This wrangling is why I think vaccine passports as described in the article will fail.

Where would we ne without experts?
As companies scramble to cut hours and change operations, some experts also recommend raising wages, saying it could provide a more permanent solution to the worker shortage.
——-
Experts say that a number of factors are making it difficult for companies to hire, despite an unemployment rate of 6%.
Enhanced unemployment benefits, workers’ concerns about catching COVID-19, and the rapid reopening of businesses are all cutting into the number of potential candidates. Even before the pandemic, many lower-paying jobs were struggling to hire.
“We’re going to go back to that really competitive marketplace for labor,” said Marc Wulfraat, the president of logistics consulting firm MWPVL.
“It’s going to be a shock to companies that are paying low wages,” Wulfraat added. “They’re going to be the ones that are hit the worst, because all that low-wage labor is going to find a home elsewhere — where there’s more money to be made.”
Well, duh.
Everybody knows those fast food places make like 10.000% profit on their menu items. It’s just greedy CEOs and shareholders stealing from their employees.
Well, let’s see. If the pool of workers is unchanged, then rapid reopening shouldn’t be causing more than very transitory blips in the employment market.
And worker’s concerns about catching the ‘Vid would probably not keep most of them out of the market if the alternative was losing their house, car, and eating privileges.
So that pretty much leaves enhanced unemployment benefits. Which, oddly, will fund workers who are “too afraid of the ‘Vid to get a job” and also shrink the pool of people willing to work.
Good question. Where would we ne?
Serves us right.
Why didn’t anyone think to fortify the census?
Whooo. If you had found those extra 90 people, Minnesoda would have lost a seat.
What is the conversion anyhow? NYC residents are counted as 3/5 of a human?
I find it hard to believe New York actually has 4% more people than in 2010, what with everybody fleeing.
Or that Minnesota should have lost a seat when it gained population slightly faster than the country as a whole if the Census is to be believed.
I’m wondering if this count is before or after they make “adjustments” for illegal humans.
“No human is illegal.”
Clearly they thought that would be enough to fortify the census and miscalculated.
Big metro centers are immigrant magnets. The loss of residents to other states is backfilled with immigration.
^^this. IIRC, the US would be shrinking in population but for a roughly 1M annual immigrant uptake.
After checking out the stats, it looks like ~1M annual immigrants and ~1M natural growth in population.
*brain melts*
It took them long enough, you think they could have massaged 89 extra people.
Or if they’d just mailed forms with Self-addressed stamped envelopes.
I didn’t answer the census because they wanted me to go to a government website. Those can’t be trusted.
I’m going to be pointing out that Cuomo’s management of the ‘Vid killed so many New Yorkers before the census that he cost NY that seat.
Between Sloopy’s OSU protesting in favor of knife fights and this story from Ezra Klein advocating for a vegetarian moonshot (given OMWC praise for herbivores), I’m beginning to think TPTB have some issues.
Even for Ezra, this pile of writing is incredibly derp rich.
it wouldn’t take much money
A billion here, a billion there, before long you’re talking real money.
I’m sure you could easily talk Ezra into attempting to milk a bull, given his vast knowledge of agriculture.
Love the way he slipped that in there. I mean, sure, the Official Story is that the ‘Vid came from a wet market, but that seems an awfully long reach from “we must abolish chickens, cows, and pigs”.
Read the article, he goes on an on about how living with animals leads to all sorts of virus transmissions from the animals to the people.
He never acknowledges the upside. Would Europeans have been able to colonize so much of the Americas if the natives also had immunity to the viruses that come from living with animals?
I thought the Chinese wet market theory of COVID was racist. I can’t keep up.
I see precisely one “barnyard” source of pandemics in there – pigs. The rest is mostly handwaving, and while transmission may have come from eating monkeys or birds, I don’t think its been demonstrated.
This also falls into the global warming trap – it doesn’t matter what we do here, if the Bad Thing is still going on overseas. Has there been a single pandemic that actually originated in the US, other than the Spanish flu (which they are still arguing about)?
India – vegetarian central- has the worst cv19 outbreak at the moment.

Credit Suisse analyst Lauren Silberman told Insider that companies are going to have to improve their pay, benefits, and culture to combat hiring difficulties. Companies’ values are increasingly important to workers, Silberman said, making a chain like Starbucks that has invested in building a reputation of social consciousness potentially more attractive to workers than some of its fast-food rivals.
Golly, Mister Business Expert, you’re a genius. That’s easier to do when you practically conjure revenue out of thin air, like some tech companies we could name.
Companies’ values are increasingly important to workers, Silberman said, making a chain like Starbucks that has invested in building a reputation of social consciousness potentially more attractive to workers than some of its fast-food rivals.
Does Silberman have even a shred of evidence supporting this claim? Because I’ve never seen a shred of evidence that working as a barista at Starbucks is any more “prestigious” than working at any other coffee shop. This just stinks of BS palmed off on people wishing their political proclivities actually did have any objective value.
We’re way overdue for a major correction that starves some white collar workers.
So this is going to be a column about finding a way to work with humanity’s growing appetite for meat rather than against it. All we need to do is replace the animals, or at least a lot of them.
Something something Soylentburgers are the best!
Wasn’t the appetite for meat already, there from thousands of years of evolution?
Quiet, you.
Evolution through natural selection, aka survival of the fittest, is something that progs insist be taught in government school biology classes, yet do everything to fight against in their social policies.
I remember an anthropology teacher saying that early hominids (with their growing brains) watch lions and other predators eat meat and spend most of their time sleeping and thinking “that looks better than this constant searching for plants and spending all day trying to chew up tough roots”. We started scavenging from kills and then to hunting on our own.
At least that is how I remember it 30 years later.
The world is no longer free.
Who’s got Mexico, Costa Rico, Dominican Republic, Albania, and (North) Macedonia on their “what’s left of the free world” bingo cards?

But I like Ticos. Costa Rica is on my list of places to retire to.

Nothing bad happened. There was no drama. The memorial service was lovely and upbeat, but people cried anyway.

Mom and I only got aggravated with each other a couple of times. And when I got home, I made my children carry my luggage in.

“All the cool people in this family will be meeting next weekend. The scaredy-cat losers will be zooming in.”
I can also see the opportunity to duck out on the obligations “man, I would so like to come to the family reunion this weekend, but I’m worried about getting the Rona so I’ll be staying home” (which would be especially delicious in my case because the insufferable proggies in my family would be flummoxed as how to respond).

Speaking of cancel culture, you can now be fired for racial slurs yelled by your wife.

I’ll be interested to see if this guy’s union saves his job, or if they will throw him to the mob.
This is a case where I’d be hard-pressed to say the union wouldn’t be in the right. From the sound of it, the guy isn’t even accused of using racist language himself, but it’s his wife who did so. The state firing him sounds like they didn’t have legitimate grounds.
If you watch the video, it looks like the guy is doing his best to drag his wife back to the house.
In this case, I think the union would be 100% in the right to protect this guy’s job.
Not the first time. A soccer player (Google search says Aleksandar Katai) was fired for his wife’s tweets last summer.
You mean a man isn’t responsible for his wife’s actions. What kind of world do we live in now?
Well, clearly the guy has a responsibility to keep his woman in line. It’s the woke thing to do.
*chortle*
Well, she can’t be forced to testify against you, so clearly the ramifications have to go the other way, or you’re sexist or something.
So when do we start holding parents responsible for the actions of their stabby or otherwise murderous children?
No excuse, but she sounds drunk as hell.
I’m not clear as to why the protesters were there in that particular location.
They lived next door to the DA who is in charge of prosecuting the cop who shot Daunte Wright. The mob traveled way the fuck out (30 miles) to another city to let the DA know they knew where he lived.
I can see getting a bit peeved when a shit ton of activists show up in my neighborhood because they are intent on intimidating someone who lives there.
Well okay then. So the corrections dude lives next to a DA. So either the DA makes shit for dough, or the occifer [sic] is padding some OT. It kind of looks lower middle class to me.
Either way the wife is a stupid racist twat, and the cops should be arresting people for disturbing the peace.
The DA is going to get removed for sure.

Trying to intimidate a prosecutor can carry much heavier charges than that.

As soon as I figure out which of my ancestors oppressed my other ancestors, I’m going to launch a campaign to cancel myself and demand an apology.

My childhood hometown has been colonized by people from SF and Berkeley* and those signs are everywhere.
*Nobody is really from those cities, but they pass through on their way to screw up other places.
Word
We have those signs everywhere. It pisses me off because, while I’ve always known these retards were everywhere, I used to could give them the benefit of the doubt. Now, once I see the hate gets no love here bullshit, I know what a retard I’m dealing with and I can’t shake that fact.
Those people are also more likely to vandalize other signs they don’t care for, as has happened in our neighborhood.
Actually, my father was born in SF (St. Francis) and my mother was born in Berkeley (Alta Bates) And her father was born there and her grandmother! We go back.
I just thought of another one
“WILL TRADE CARBON CREDITS FOR LAWN SERVICES”
“LEGALIZE WEEDS”
Nice
OOooooooo…..
“WILL TRADE VIRTUE SIGNAL POINTS FOR LAWN SERVICES”
“OPEN BORDERS NOW! STOP DEPORTING MY GARDENER!”
STEVE SMITH NO SPOON, HE FORK!
“Vote-shaming is a former of settler-colonialism”?
What does that even mean?
We need a Glibs yard sign. I’ll kick it off:
In This House, We Believe:
You should stay off my lawn.
Tulpa should fuck off.
Needs moar aggression.
“Fuck off, Tulpa! All your orphans are belong to us.”
NAP violation!!!
“Many different things, because we’re individual people and not a hive mind.”
“Yes, we’re all individuals!”
“Yes, we’re all individuals!”
Some of you are squirrels.
The Bigfoot sign is a classic for the ages.
*grabs crotch* I got your digital health pass right here.
It’s good to check for testicular cancer regularly. Carry on.
If Chafed rolls by, that Rogin/Goggins interview was great. Thanks for that post dude. I needed that.
Dave Smith announces a bid for the 2024 LP Presidential nomination:
https://youtu.be/7bvy7iS_B9c
I’d vote for him over anyone else, that’s for sure. He could get a lot of eyes to look at the LP favorably and create a buzz, the priority shouldn’t be winning anyway. He could be a kinder, gentler, saner McAfee.
And he would never say we need to be anti-racist. Whatever the fuck that means.
If you don’t know what it means, then why are you knocking it?
On a serious note, I don’t know enough about big L party system to even know how to make that happen. I do know the CO Libertarian party is pretty much green commi’s from what I can tell. I don’t know. That would take effort on my part that I am not sure I want to invest.
C’mon Sloper, It’s not enough to be passively non-commie, you need to be actively anti-commie.
It can be done. The Mises Caucus took over the LPNH and kicked the woke crowd out.
To be honest I’m not that familiar with the LP either as I always considered it to be a bit of a basket case, at least on a national level. Dave seems to be a good guy though and a non squish so he’s as good as can be reasonably expected. I have nothing against big L libertarians if they do it right.
one would assume, with “liberty” right there in the name, that you could safely vote for them and they would actively promote liberty. When they lost that, they lost me. I ain’t really willing to keep protest voting for somebody who’s just gonna force people to bake cakes and then campaign for Hilary fucking Clinton. One strike and they’re out.
Oh yeah
Californians hoping to remove Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom from office have met the state’s minimum number of valid signatures to push a recall election forward this fall.
County officials have verified 1,626,042 signatures, according to the California secretary of state’s website. Recall backers needed at least 1,495,709 valid signatures to qualify, which represents 12% of the votes cast in the state’s last gubernatorial election.
Now, they’re having a 30 day period where signers can “request” that their names be removed from the list. Gavin’s got his fingers crossed, LOL!
I didn’t realize he couldn’t just run again so this is actually meaningful. Good on Cali although it’s conceivable they could end up with worse.
We will likely get worse. The point is to punish this prick and to end his career. He was going to try and move up to screwing the rest of the country too. You’re welcome, America!
thanks
really? didn’t know that.
