Did all the female candidates look like this? It might explain they got so many votes. Am I suggesting these women were voted in out of an underhanded form of machismo toxic masculinity? Yes. Yes I am.
Mexico is also due to receive a shipment of J&J vaccines. Which is great since I know several people that would slash people’s tires not long ago to get it. Meanwhile, Mexico is sending locally made A-Z vaccines elsewhere throughout Latin America.
Unprecedented….I don’t think that means what you think it does.
Argentine president insults Brazilians:
“The Mexicans came from the Indians, the Brazilians came from the jungle, but we Argentines came from the ships. And they were ships that came from Europe,” Fernandez said, referring to the country’s many European migrants. He later apologized for the comments and said his country’s diversity was something to be proud of.
Bolsonaro obliged by tweeting a photograph of himself wearing a native head-dress, smiling among a group of indigenous people. The only text in tweet was the word “JUNGLE” in capital letters, flanked by a Brazilian flag emoji.
Hell yeah its that guy from Judas Priest!
But I don’t have a .45! 🙁
That’s very un-American of you.
Federal is a little more but free shipping if you order over $149 – which is really easy these days.
If prices get high enough, they may throw one in as an incentive.

Unfortunately, I already bestowed the GC for the thread. Plus, I always feel suck-uppy giving one of those to a post author.
I would never accuse you of that.
Do they come in Capri cut?
Man bags. Some with hidden carry pockets. Totes butch.
Those are nice, but a bit busy for my taste. I’m hooked on https://www.timbuk2.com. Got my first custom bag in 1999, finally had to replace with another in 2016. Waterproof, hard wearing, and discretely voluminous.
I also have a custom Timbuk2 as well. Can also recommend. Pre-plague I carried daily to the office and it still looks great.
I did, however, have to overcome the massive amount of smug from the company before I reluctantly pulled the trigger.
“Busy” is such a nice way of putting that. Mine was an impulse purchase. I’ve never worn it, other than at the festival where I bought it.
I’m thinking many Latin Americans are thinking, “Our lives are hard enough without importing a couple thousand Haitians to drive down wages and property values.”
I’m thinking: Oh look another poor person with a hand held digital computer that makes phone calls and plays high-def video and music. Plus it has a camera.
WMATA runs a $1.7+ billion operating deficit. Subsidies cover a little of $1 billion of that. They are currently surviving on a federal taxpayer bailout. Ridership is way down increasing losses. But they will make it up on volume.
A creative way to hide a transportation subsidy for federal workers in DC. “But tourists an contractors get to use it, too.”
Federal employees get an additional $270/month transit subsidy.
Only for the right people in the FedGov, meaning DC. I think it takes mountains for anyone outside of that cesspool to get a subsidy otherwise. At least when I was broke, car broken and was taking the bus to the ATC to get to work they said…nah, only available in certain areas.
I’m sure the DC Federales also get a significant location bonus.
They do. But not just DC.
Locality pay, bro.
^^ Tonio beat me to it. Yes most areas have their own locality pay..Houston is outrageous, Vegas just recently moved from ‘rest of US’.
[Archer voice] When do I not?
It will never end so long as transit is portrayed as a solely poor-people thing. Never mind how many well-off people use it in places like DC and NYC, it is a sacrosanct policy to price it so even the poorest of the poor can afford it. Unlike, well, any other product I can think of.
If they weren’t stupid, they would price it for the market, plow all that money into the system to make it suck a little less, and tell the gummit “you’re welcome” for having to throw far smaller subsidies at the poors.
SGammo has .45 cheaper. Screw CTD.
I tend to buy from them. CTD just spams my inbox.

Apparently an actual question asked by DDR teachers to determine if their students’ families were watching Western (FRD) broadcasts.
I would suspect all the scroool chilens this upcoming year will be getting ‘surveys’ that will be asking questions. “Now Johnny, remember, this is not for anyone else, so don’t tell your parents about it”.
West and East German television each had a kids’ bedtime show featuring an elf-like character called the Sandman. He was the same sort of character, but of course had a different look in each country.
East German teachers would show their class pictures of the two Sandmen and ask children which one they saw on TV.
I remember reading about the post-Wall discoveries of who was snitching to the Stasi.

These new female governors are the latest evidence of Mexico’s progress toward “parity in everything,” a 2019 constitutional reform requiring gender balance for all elected and appointed posts in the legislative, executive and judicial branches at the federal, state and municipal level.

Many Haitian migrants left home and tried to build lives in Latin America, but faced racism, poverty and language barriers. Now, as the U.S. rebounds from the pandemic, a growing number of them are abandoning those countries and making their way to the Texas-Mexico border.

You missed it Saturday night then.
I was in the office yesterday around a bunch of recently vaccinated people, Felt like absolute shit last night – body aches and fatigue. Worked at home today and feel fine – going to the gym shortly.
Anyone else getting sick from vaccinated people shedding? This is the 3rd or 4th time they got me.
Not recently. Unless your office is in the habit of sharing blankets…
I’m around the vaccinated all night, nearly every night. My only health complaints are age, and the seasonal allergens.
Then again, my blood is 80 proof and in Jugsy’s absence I live in a sty. My immune system is @ peak efficiency.
Not here.
“Anyone else getting sick from vaccinated people shedding? ”
Is that a thing?
It comes up on some anti-mask and Reopen groups I’m a member of.
I am skeptical of the claims.
I think the only proven case of shedding of anything from a vaccine is an early polio vaccine.
It seems rather implausible.
Not only early vaccines. It’s still present in current polio vaccines but usually isn’t so much of an issue unless there’s unsanitary conditions (via stools).
Interesting. I thought it was only the early ones. Thanks!
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6206113/#__ffn_sectitle
There can also be viral shedding after exposure to poliovirus, particularly with IPV which doesn’t protect as fully as OPV (which has its own issues).
I don’t have direct link to the comments section I perused today, but there was some discussion about having issues being around vaccinated people. Maybe some of our medical people can comment. I was just looking for long term side effects, and ended up here.
I have written off the shedding thing as psychosomatic when I’ve heard about it. The reproductive issues I’ve heard about in fertile women appears to be more legit.
“They survived, but now without her boyfriend to help support their family, her future is uncertain.”
So…where are we on that patriarchy thing ?
Sigh…
And with that statement on the website, Bar Marseille made sure that I would never patronize their establishment. I expect this shit in Glaat Kosher joints; gentile restaurants, not so much.
At least they’re being honest and telling you they’re taking it out of your pocket, if you choose to eat there.
Couching it in that smug language is eye-rollingly annoying, but I look at it a bit the way gas stations that point out the tax part of their price–they’re telling you why the prices are so high. Different motivations, but still good info in the market.
Don’t blame us. We aren’t increasing the prices of our food.
I welcome the end of American-style, percent of bill tipping. Get rid of tipping or switch to service-level tipping.
The servers must love it (not). Many in the better restaurants get 25%. Make it 18% no choice and lots of patrons will then leave $0 tip.
^^This. Right fuckin’ here.
The one that really annoys me is when the joint has one of those Stripe/Square apps that run on a glorified iPad and when you get to the tip, the options start at 25%. You can tip less, but it is a pain in the ass.
Grinds my cheap Norwegian-raised ass when they try to push you for that big of a tip. Especially when most of those joints tend to have shitty service.
Yep. I tip at least 20% for good service, and it goes up from there. I go out with a group of friends, between 6 and 15 people every week. When we go to a new place, we make sure to tell the waitstaff that if a large group “gratuity” is added to the bill, they will get that, and no more, but they can expect much more if they don’t do that standard gratuity thing.
The hiking of prices due to artificial costs imposed on them and the resultant decline in food quality should have alerted everyone to this long ago. The Biden admin puppet masters are just putting a stake in the heart of the industry.
I’m fine with it. Whichever way you wanna go.
There was a restaurant chain locally that had a lot of trendy joints. All the hipster clients were using credit cards to pay for everything so the management told the wait staff that tips from cc’s would be reduced by 3% (or whatever the service charge was) because that is what their payment processor was charging them.
A local station was out to do a woe-is-me story and the entire wait staff said it wasn’t as good as getting 100%, but they made so much more on tips at those trendy spots that they were willing to pay the vig rather than go work somewhere else.

Too Local News – Somewhat Lazy Edition: NH House Freedom Caucus on HB 417
I covered HB 417 in my Too Local News series. It’s a bill to reform NH’s emergency powers law. The Senate and House versions aren’t the same, so they have set up a Committee of Conference to iron out the details. The Senate members of the committee want to make the reforms even weaker. I received this press release from the House Freedom Caucus today. An excerpt:
House Freedom Caucus members are livid at the proposed Committee of Conference amendment to HB 417 that makes the State of Emergency powers law weaker, and further limits protections for the people from abuse of government. When the House agreed to a Committee of Conference, they fully expected that there would be meaningful dialogue and the conferees would agree to a compromise that was between the House and Senate position and that it would be beneficial to New Hampshire citizens.
HB417 passed overwhelmingly through the House on a 328-41 vote. The bill at that time required that the legislature vote to extend any State of Emergency after 30 days. Instead of the tweaking dates about how long the State of Emergency should continue, the Senate wants to allow the status quo to continue. They want to allow the Executive branch sole authority to run the state until the Legislature votes to end it.
“Other states are taking steps to address the lessons learned from this past year”, said Rep. Andrew Prout (R-Hudson), “the deal that was reported in the press on Monday, while a significantly smaller step than passed the House 328-41, included common-sense reforms that would’ve made strides in the right direction and taken a middle-ground position compared to other states that have recently addressed this. I am appalled that the Senate would play dirty politics like this and not follow through on their commitment to the people.”
There is a similar committee meeting about the budget. The only information I have on that is from article: The budget will include abortion restrictions and education freedom accounts.
education freedom accounts
So you can pick the gulag of your choice? Is there low interest financing too?
It amounts to a voucher scheme. Parents can use the state portion of school funding to send their kids anywhere.
they fully expected that there would be meaningful dialogue and the conferees would agree to a compromise that was between the House and Senate position and that it would be beneficial to New Hampshire citizens
Poor naive legislators. Conferences are an opportunity to substitute the leadership’s preferred legislation instead of what was actually passed.

“Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters launched an attack on Facebook and Mark Zuckerberg as he revealed he turned down ‘a huge amount of money’ for the rights to use one of the band’s songs in an Instagram ad.
Speaking at a pro-Julian Assange event in New York City on Thursday, Waters showed reporters a request from Facebook for the rights to use Pink Floyd’s 1979 song Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2).
‘It’s a missive from Mark Zuckerberg to me with an offer for a huge, huge amount of money, and the answer is “f*** you, no f***ing way,”‘ he said.”

I bet if he wrote a song about it, it wouldn’t be this good.
That answers my question from a few weeks ago, he’s still just rerecording the same songs with new lyrics. This song minus the Facebook reference could be on his 2003 release.
I read that a few days ago. I’m not sure who I’m supposed to be rooting for here though.
Maybe Syd Barrett…
Man worth 310 million dollars turns down ‘huge amount of money’, So stunning much brave,
Please. I hear songs from bands worth more than that on ads for diabetes drugs. Oh wait, on the teevee right now. “We will rock you” for a smart fridge.
A. In many cases artist don’t own the licensing rights to their songs, so not sure if Brian May, Freddy’s heirs, and whoever the other guys in Queen are have a say in that or not
B. Just because other people who don’t “need” the money sell their souls doesn’t mean some guy who doesn’t “need” the money and wont is laudable, show me some young up-and-comer, still driving his own tour van, and sleeping in motels who turns down a boatload of money on principle and I’ll give him/her props.
corollary to A. even if Brian, et al sell their music to Frigidaire or Merck doesn’t mean they don’t also have standards and have refused companies and causes they disagree with.
So were they trying to advertise that their users are treated like bricks?
I think “Comfortably Numb” would have been a better choice.
Well, many IG models are like two balloons.

NPR thumbsucker for today
For nearly a century, women have been closing the gender gap in alcohol consumption, binge-drinking and alcohol use disorder. What was previously a 3-1 ratio for risky drinking habits in men versus women is closer to 1-to-1 globally, a 2016 analysis of several dozen studies suggested.
And the latest U.S. data from 2019 shows that women in their teens and early 20s reported drinking and getting drunk at higher rates than their male peers — in some cases for the first time since researchers began measuring such behavior.
This trend parallels the rise in mental health concerns among young women, and researchers worry that the long-term effects of the COVID-19 pandemic could amplify both patterns.
——-
blah blah blah
——-
As part of a research study, Sugarman and her colleagues gave women struggling with alcohol use information on how alcohol affects women differently from men. Some participants had been in detox 20 times yet had never heard this information, Sugarman says.
Research from Sugarman’s colleagues found that women with alcohol use disorder had better outcomes when they were in women-only treatment groups, which included a focus on mental health and trauma, as well as education about gender-specific elements of addiction.
Cooper says enrolling in a 90-day residential treatment program in 2018 drastically changed her own perception of who is affected by addiction. She found herself surrounded by other women in their 20s who also struggled with alcohol and other drugs. “It was the first time in a very long time that I had not felt alone,” she says.
In 2019, she returned to UNC-Chapel Hill and finished her degree in women’s and gender studies, even completing a capstone project on the links among sexual violence, trauma and addiction.
Although Cooper says 12-step programs have helped her stay sober for 3 1/2 years now, a downside to those efforts is that they are often male dominated: educational materials written by men, advice geared toward men, examples about men.
Cooper plans to return to school this fall for a master’s degree in social work, with the goal of working to change those gender disparities in the field.
tl;dr- It were teh patriarchy what dunnit.
Maybe they should serve more Chardonnay at the program meetings
“As part of a research study, Sugarman and her colleagues gave women struggling with alcohol use information on how alcohol affects women differently from men. Some participants had been in detox 20 times yet had never heard this information, Sugarman says.”
Why is the info withheld? Not sciencey enough? Not feminist enough? What?
And how important is the information?
Do you honestly think someone that has been in detox twenty times is going to change their behavior based on that information?
Asking the right questions, here…
Too much math. They didn’t want the women’s brains (that were already suffering from a hangover) to explode trying to solve the differential equations in the informational packet.
Ok, I’m sure someone that has gone to detox 20 times is a reliable narrator
Are you saying someone who has been to detox 20 times is a mad dog?
In case you’ve never been married, I can assure you, no matter what problem you care to name, it’s a man’s fault.
See The Babylon Bee story on why all referees should be women.
You’ve come a long way, baby.
“In 2019, she returned to UNC-Chapel Hill and finished her degree in women’s and gender studies”
So she was better off drunk?
All her problems will still be someone else’s fault, but now she’ll be able to prove it with gobbledygook.
Ya know, I don’t even disagree with that. Men and woman are psychologically different (not inferior/ superior, just different) and treatment plans for mental illness and substance abuse should be tailored accordingly.
I just wish it were acceptable to consider those innate differences all the time, not just when it’s in service of some feminist cause (“woman are better at…” or “we need to provide women with free ______”)
This. My first thought was how did they let that slip through?

I was reading all the shit that the Swamp is throwing at Kamala lately. The stuff about how Biden is secretly setting her up to fail with his 4D chess was especially amusing.
Pepperidge Farms remembers when Kamala had to make all the calls to the heads of foreign states at the beginning of this administration because Grandmaster Biden wasn’t up to the task.
Creepy Joe just says and does what he is told to do, if he can manage it. If I had to speculate…People like Soros, the International Economic Forum, The Chicoms, and the heads of the big tech companies are calling the shots, but I am just spitballing.
Are Biden’s handlers setting her up to fail? I’m sure she can manage that all on her own.
The upside to rigged elections is that the people in power get to pick and choose. Kahhhhmala cant fail on her own if voters have no say in it.
If you fail but the MSM assures us you’re a genius, have you actually failed at all?
Putting this comment here since the discussion is so far upthread and I am running around like a chicken with my head cut off and cant keep up.
The whole point of the Biden admin’s policies and the pandemic economic suicidal policies is to kill any remnant of a free market. They are rushing headlong into some kind of globalist socialism just like the left always said they would do. In other words, international communism.
I know I might get in trouble like Chuck Schumer, but cicadas are the retards of the bug family. These idiots land on the ground and trip over on their backs, then fight to get upright. And they land on anything when their goal is to land on a tree branch; they land on people, cars, brick walls, just about anything but a tree. And I live in an area that has a crapload of LARGE trees – plenty of branches. How do you miss that?

Coming to the U.S. next….
Need to get caught up on my Dalrymple (picked up some books of his essays about 11 years ago…looks like I can get his current writings here).

Saw that yesterday – good stuff. Orwell is spinning in his grave.

That’s a rather large group of aircraft.

My new favorite quote from Adam Carolla – “Someone asked me if I was a racist, and I said ‘I’m on the spectrum’. But I don’t consider myself a racist. I do have certain thoughts about certain groups so I guess that would put me on the spectrum.”
From Reasonable Doubt on 5/29.
Carolla’s alright, a funny guy with a mostly sensible head on his shoulders. He does some of the best rants in the business.
I’m not Racist, but if you want to play that game let’s go,
/sick of the racebaiting crap
“Can I ask you something?
Are you a faggot?
See, you asked me if I was heterosexual; I asked you the same question, only I was clear about the answer I was looking for.”
To me racist = “someone who divides humans into arbitrary groups based upon arbitrary secondary external characteristics”
As far as I am concerned the only race is the human race.
Apparently that makes me a “racist”.
As I retreat further from human contact.

Not it.
Wonder how many calls to the national anti-radicalization hotline that will generate.
Trying to log in to my 401k on my new computer, and Prudential simply isn’t sending me any emails for two-factor identification.
I got a feedback popup, but the site logged me out and redirected me, getting rid of the feedback popup, before I could finish typing….
What’s your user name and password? I had this problem the other day and can fix it for you.
The stupid two-factor authentication my work installed on our HR site (?!) sent me into an endless loop of opening the authenticator app on my phone which didn’t work because my email wasn’t set up in it, back to the website which didn’t work because it wanted me to use the phone app to authenticate my email address, round and round.
You’re going (or being routed) to the wrong website.
And sorry. A lot of bitch-ass “cyber-insurance” companies are requiring this bullshit to maintain coverage…
Solved it by calling our IT help desk (who are always very helpful) who reset the app.
I shudder to think of having to settle it by calling some other BigCorp’s help desk.
Fuckers at work wanted us to install Microsoft Teams on our personal phones in addition to the work computers it’s on, in case the server malfunctions and we have to log off our computers completely. The download was “only” ~50 MB, but I couldn’t figure out how to turn off the notifications, and when I uninstalled it, it freed up over 300 MB of space on my phone, which as it is is rapidly running out of space.
(I need to get a new phone, but thanks to the fucking coronavirus panic shutdowns, the chip shortage means the cheaper models I was looking at are all out of stock.)
Getting back to Prudential, I also logged on to webmail to check the spam filter — the mails weren’t there, either.
Yeah, Teams is a hog. My company won’t let us use our phones for any company business without installing some snooper app on it. Even my boss was like “fuck that” and therefore I am too. It means I can’t get pestered with emails 24 hours a day or get a refund on my bill. I can live with that.
Project Veritas just posted an interview with the Fox reporter. I’m about a third of the way through, and so far it’s a mix of her being unhappy that superiors make decisions on what stories to run based on viewer demographics and spiking a HCQ story. I think this might be a let-down, but I’ll keep watching.
Just finished, not a lot there in my opinion, The club scene* interview with her co-workers was quite a stretch, “people fight over ad spots and the biggest spender gets the spot.” Well no shit.
*it looked like they were in a club and sounded like the music was pumping, but I could be wrong and unjustly stereotyping these women. and for that I pre-emptively apologize.
I see Wells Fargo just closed her bank account for wrong-think.
