Prison wardens found the body of software mogul McAfee hanging in his cell on Wednesday in what appeared to be a suicide, his lawyer Javier Villalba said last week. read more
Now it’s McAffee didn’t kill himself?
This was foreseen.
They used him as a test run for Ghislaine Maxwell methodology.
The chaos at the Greenwich Village greenspace resulted in the arrests of eight people, including a woman charged with biting an NYPD lieutenant, cops said Monday morning.
But no busts were made in the alleged beatdown of the 65-year-old vendor, who was attacked at Fifth Avenue and Washington Square North just before 11 p.m., according to police.
Maybe the vendor should have become one of the King’s Men.
I think the local constabulary are allowing this in order to frighten the scions of the elite who attend nearby NYU into buying their weed elsewhere (where the
mafiagovernment will take their rightful cut). The “vendors” at the northwest end of the park will need to find another way to make a living.Feh. It’s more than that. Deblasio and the DA are deliberately allowing the chaos to spread, in line with lefty mayors and DA’s across the country. It’s all ideological.
Well, they’ve certainly got my attention. Our return-to-cube farm day is in September. Don’t think I will be going back to my lovely Soho office given the current shitshow. Not sure how my employer will handle this, I suspect I am not alone.
*shrug* Stay away from Washington Square Park, you’ll be fine.
I’m reducing my trips to the office to once or twice a week but only because I’m lazy and WFH is a lot more comfortable.

Continuing the multifamily suburban thread from the past two articles:
I just read through a few articles on suburban multi-family development, and there are a few undercurrents that come through.
One is that they’re benefitting off of the extended good economy by putting economically unstable families into extravagant units with the expectation of actually getting a return.
Another is that culture has changed due to millennials who want the urban feel (it strokes their eco boners) in the suburbs and immigrants who want a feel more like back home, but without the urban safety issues.
Yet another is government incentives.
The suburban multifamily trend isn’t a covid thing, no matter what TMITE says. It’s a push that started after the 08 recession. It strikes me as a very precarious deal, because they have to charge relatively high prices for rental/purchase of these lavish units, and, frankly, theyre charging very economically unstable people an arm and a leg, hoping that their income/credit doesn’t run out.
FWIW, I am not seeing an end to these suburban multifamily projects coming across my desk at work. Some townships put up some resistance, most don’t. The one’s that do resist get warehouses as punishment.
Pretty much. They’re all done with HUD money, which is distorting the market severely.
Obama had a real hard-on for this stuff and slid a bunch of perverse incentives into the market when nobody was looking.
Yep. They really started showing up around here about 5 years ago. 3-4 floor apartment and condo buildings without road improvements or new schools. The cramped single family housing developments were bad enough.
The development near my house is out of control. Adding insane inventory of single-family housing AND multi-family housing butted up against the nicer areas that up until 2 years ago, made it feel you were never really in Las Vegas.
The only positive I have going for my area is a massive HAAS plant is getting built nearby and all the Raider staff driving the prices up so I can plan my exit at the peak of desirability hopefully.
But like your comment, they have put barely any infrastructure with that growth. I think one additional school, no shopping center (we have a single market for the whole area without driving down the hill), etc.
When the great panic of 2020 and papered goods hit us, it was impossible to shop at our local store because its something like 30,000 people for that store between two zip codes that have ease of access.
It was not that way when I bought merely 4 years ago this month. That is how insane it is.
Most construction in my area has been 55+ duplex crackerboxes or assisted living facilities. Apparently rich fackers in the area want to move their elderly relatives close, but not too close. I think this will eventually backfire as they pay reduced property taxes and those will get passed on to the proletariat. School system goes from bad to worse, und so weiter.
When I moved here, minimum lot size was 20,000 sq.ft. Now it’s all variances. Fucking crooked pols, and the greedy developers sucking their dicks.
Avocados or milling machines?
Milling. 2.5 million square foot plant.
Cool. The company headquarters is down here in, I think, Camarillo.
Loose credit did its work too. Single-family units aren’t much more expensive than townhomes, and townhomes aren’t much more expensive than multi-family dwellings. Most people will choose the extra couple hundred a month (less than a car payment) if they can afford it for the benefit of not sharing 1-3 walls with obnoxious neighbors.
And when not using the racism angle, developers and their government and media sycophants claim that homeless camps are due to the lack of high density luxury apartment buildings in the suburbs. Really, I see it all the time in the Bay Area. As if that person with the shopping cart shooting heroin is only there because they couldn’t come up with the down payment on a starter home.
Hundreds of homeless crack addicts have been grouped in a park in northeast Paris in a bid to keep them from roaming the streets, a decision that has inflamed tensions between drug users and local residents as authorities grapple with a spiralling drug problem. FRANCE 24 reports from Paris’s crack kingdom.
Seems more like Philly to me.
Ah, les banlieues. Where you can gaze into your lover’s eyes every night by the burning light of hundreds of torched cars set on fire by Paris’ many “guests,” most of whom are under 25 years old and have names that are variants of “Mohammed.”
Otherwise known as “Paris’ shitholes.”
(TBF, many of les banlieues are fine, but some are so bad even the gendarmes won’t go in them without craploads of armed personnel.)
The lab group here has three different spellings, and unsurprisingly each is of a different ethnicity. The only one who reads Le Figaro is from Cote d’Ivoire.
Bien sûr!
some are so bad even the gendarmes won’t go in them without craploads of armed personnel.
I have been assured by Top Men that is a right-wing myth.
Top Men that have craploads of armed personnel.
Unlike Epstein, McAfee likely did kill himself. Seventy five years old, all his money gone and his assets seized, and pretty much caught dead to rights on sizable tax evasion. He was effectively facing life at his age and decided he wanted to go out on his terms as much as he was able. At least we don’t have to be subjected to seeing him paraded in front of cameras and having to kiss a judge’s ass.
I also think he probably did kill himself.
And did so knowing that all of his previous “I did not kill myself” messaging would be there to stir the pot forever.
That’s what they want you to think.
Yeah, the mindfuck from beyond the grave.
I’m still holding out hope for the kill switch story.
I not accepting this. Yes, he was done for but he could have dished out some verbal shit here in the Banana Republic of America before checking out. You can kill yourself anytime, anywhere. “Oh, I’m going back to the USSA? I must kill myself right this second.”
Jail actually has a pretty good record for inciting suicide. It’s a shitty place and there are lots of people who just can’t stand it, literally. That’s just one of the reasons we should be more careful of who we send there.
Maybe Paris is as bad as NYC?
This feels like a legacy of the postmodern revolution to me. Western civilization decided to ignore junkies. Not that the previous regime of institutionalizing them was any better.
It’s something I cannot wrap my head around, but the left, in any country, have this weird idea that all of life’s ills stem from authority. The church, conservative gov’t, police, it doesn’t seem to matter, nor be explained to me in any sort of coherency, but they honestly seem to think that if they just let people go and do their own thing, BS like this won’t happen.
And every. single. time. you get the same results. But, they have to build on top of the previous fuck up, and it only gets worse on the back end, more convoluted, more machinations, and so on. I know these people haven’t heard of the Pilot Program Problem, but you would think they would strip out the old before building the new at least.
all of life’s ills stem from authority
TBF, they _love_ authority, when it’s being wielded by them.
Yeah, but links don’t.
Bah, that was supposed to just be italics.
I’m not convinced they shouldn’t.
I’m not convinced there’s any reason for people with divergent views on what should be done to live together under one set of rules. Liberals, conservatives, and libertarians all have divergent views on this question. Who gets their way? Who pays for the consequences?
I’d consider shitting up the local public spaces and accosting passersby to be NAP violations.
Yeah, maybe it’s a “not all junkies” type of situation, but the ignore the junkies stance seems to be to ignore the annoying NAP violations and increasingly to ignore the substantial NAP violations.
Have the proponents/opponents of Iraqi and Syria air strikes flipped yet with Trump no longer there?
I can’t even keep it straight anymore. All I know is that there are far too few opponents left.
They all are proponents in government in the first place that always want the war machine to churn along, they all agree this action was proper with a handful of voices they can easily drown out.
The opposition is mere politics for elections and they have fortified that now; even for their cross-aisle critters.
Could be worse.
You could be getting burned by Dutch Masters.

Into a new title band, with a bump in salary. No longer am I a “Principal Engineer,” I’m a “Member of the Technical Staff.”
Theoretically, there are engineering ladder ranks that pay as well a SVPs, but they are literally political (as in, to qualify for the highest “Fellow” title, you have to be on a Presidential commission and write some legislation that benefits the company).
Also one of my junior engineers (I think her title was just “Engineer, or maybe “Senior Engineer,”) jumped to management. That was pretty much inevitable — she was a desired demographic, neon hair, and photogenic.
Congratulations. I remember when we used to have MTS series before it was shitcanned.
I’ve been in the same band for 19 or 20 years now.
9 years for me. Of course, its a band with one (1) job title – mine.
Congrats!
Congratulations!
heh-heh! Yeah!, “member.”
Shuut-up, Beavis!
And, of course, Congratulations!
Congrats, especially on the “bump in salary”. Titles are nice, but…
In this case, there’s an added benefit (for me): you have to be MTS level to transfer from your current job to the staff that opens up a new fab. I loved getting this place off the ground, and was unhappy that I couldn’t open the one in Chongqing. Although that turned out to be a blessing in disguise what with how much of a clusterfuck that turned into.
Nice! I never cared much about titles but this one actually means something. Good on ya.
I’ll bet the stars didn’t see that one coming! Congratulations.
“Member of the Technical Staff.”
Is a really good euphemism.
Congratulations, nice work!

Not Adahn, on the last thread you posted this question:
What happens if they refuse to let you back in? Do you have to go to the consulate and appeal? Does Canada have to give you citizenship?
I had a vague memory that eventually Customs and Immigration have to let a US citizen enter. I did a little digging and found this document on court cases related to US citizen’s Right of Entry to the USA.
I thought Right of Entry was some concept promulgated by the usual tall foreheads at the UN back in ’48 or thereabouts which all Right-Thinking-Nations had signed on to.
STEVE SMITH HAVE RIGHT OF ENTRY!
STEVE SMITH CLAIM RIGHT OF ENTRY. AND BY RIGHT OF ENTRY, MEAN RIGHT OF ENTRY FOR PENIS IN HIKER. AND BY ENTRY OF PENIS IN HIKER, MEAN RAPE.
Great minds, Animal. Great minds.
Indeed.
Australia says “hold my Fosters”.
Yes, you do have the right to enter (eventually) when you present yourself at the border or port of entry. The US can also prohibit you from using transportation to exercise that right such as the no fly lists.
From the sidebar of the UPI website with the Iraq attack story: Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas says federal marijuana laws may no longer be needed. FTA:
Interesting stuff. I know we have a lot of lawyers and court-watchers here, does anyone thinks this portends anything or is Thomas likely alone in his thinking?
Does anyone thinks this portends anything?
Probably just a matter of getting the right case in front of the court…
I’d rather have seen them take up that case in order to strike down “public policy positions” by federal agencies that are given the force of law.
The controlled substances act is an unconstitutional power of the federal government. There is no enumerated power to ban products or services. The feds can regulate in interstate commerce and thats it. Regulation does not mean banning.
Even the prohibitionists knew that they needed a constitutional amendment to ban alcohol.
Once americans let the federal gov bans stuff, it was all down hill. Feds cannot ban guns, drugs, or alcohol (anymore).
I dont think any justice follows the constitution to the letter, which is a problem. Thomas at least tried to follow some of the constitution. I dont think even thomas thinks the 2A prohibits all gun control.
The fact that america cant even agree on the basics of constitutional powers and protections, is one of the greatest problems america faces. Most of our current tensions arise from this.
Is there anything stopping development of Bozeman’s suburbs?

To be (a bit) serious for a moment, perhaps Bozeman’s running into the same problem as Calgary did, to wit, water rights.

Paris was a shithole when I visited decades ago. Of course, I was a wide-eyed country bumpkin back then but I was still a little green when I moved to NYC 20+ years ago. My conclusion is that Paris is worse than NYC.
Uh yeah. Paris is way worse than NYC.
A little snippet of a headline caught my eye. “Racism against people of African descent.”
Which reminds me of a conversation among two black couples near me in a restaurant in Indianapolis, one day. One of the men suddenly said, “I’m not African American. I was born and raised in Indianapolis Indiana.”
How many generations does it take before you get to be of American descent?
We’re all of African descent, if you go back far enough.
We’re all of Pangean descent, if you go back far enough.
But some of us are less African (and therefor technically less human) than others, given the interbreeding of the homo-sapiens who left Africa with the Neanderthals and Denisovans.
‘Luca’ proves Disney’s Pixar wasn’t brave enough to fully commit to its first queer animated film
Luca is immediately taken by the free-spirited Alberto when he meets a fellow sea monster off the coast of Portorosso.
They’re casually physical with each other, sleeping side by side under a star-filled sky, wrapping their arms around each other’s waists, and watching the sunset together. In fact, they spend a lot of the film embracing each other — teasing that their relationship could blossom into something more.
Their relationship matures further during the end scene, when Alberto chooses to stay behind in Portorosso while Luca gets on a train to leave for school. Their touching farewell handshake lingered a bit.
All friendships are based in wanting to fuck one another.
I saw the movie. It wasn’t a gay story.
I saw it too. I didn’t pick up on anything that this article claims, but I guess I can see “queer identity” as a metaphor with the sea-monsters turning into humans angle if I squint.
Of course, Luca also heads off to school to try and bang the red headed girl was my take of the ending.
I mean people hiding your nature until you are comfortable does work for gays. or like a million things humans experience.
Yeah, it was clearly a story about friendship, but I could see how people might think something more was coming from Alberto’s side of things. The idea that any western company isn’t “brave” enough to embrace “queer” stories is especially laughable during Pride Month, what with all the major company logos blurring into a rainbow. The only hesitation behind making gay films is that it might limit the audience appeal, which is a question of profit, not bravery.
Actually I do think it would be costly for Disney to make a gay kids movie. They would make less money.
They are absolutely motivated to try and appeal to a large audience. And should be.
“he idea that any western company isn’t “brave” enough to embrace “queer” stories is especially laughable”
Don’t forget that all American universities continue to refuse to hire qualified people of color because of systemic racism on the part of academics.

Sex and sexual preference are unimportant.

Comprehensive list of all Pixar movies in which a character even has a sexuality:
Oh I guess in “up” the main character is married for a long time. Damn.
By that measure, you have the Mr. and Mrs. Incredibles with three kids.
Oh yeah; forget my bold statement. I’m an idiot.
The marriage was a sham in Up. The movie is about an elderly pedophile grooming a Boy Scout, fer cryin’ out loud.
Grooming? Hell, the old guy was trafficking the kid.
1) Woody and Bo Peep
2)…..
Yeah, thats all I got.
Cars had a love interest between Lightning McQueen and Sally Carrera.

Tried to find the old fahrvergnügen meme where one V-dub was stoinking another, but it seems to have disappeared. “Fahrvernookie”
Before memes were a thing, I think.
Maybe I’m going out on a limb here, but maybe there’s a segment of our society that doesn’t think sexuality, any sexuality, is really a great topic for a children’s movie to deal with?
Nickelodeon – “Hold my beer.”
The problem is that sexuality has been inextricably linked with family. You can’t show a family in a family movie without getting a tally point against inclusivity.

So from earlier today there was that short discussion on Judeo-Christian connection on our modern concept of rights. That sent me down a rabbit hole on the Magna Carta, and the Charter of Liberties (from Henry I). Neither of these were distinctly Christian, but instead seemed to draw more on Anglo-Saxon tradition. The Magna Carta was actually annulled by Pope Innocent III who threatened ex-communication to king or baron for holding to it. So the claim of dependence (our contemporary rights) on religious tradition/thought is pretty tenuous.
I base my argument on the fundamental role that Aquinas and Locke played in developing the concept of natural rights and their outsized influence on those that followed. Both ground their arguments in decidedly Christian terms, even though they laid the framework for a secular justification of those ideas at a later time.
Aquinas I’ll absolutely grant you as developing theory in service and compliance with Christianity. Locke I’m not quite so sure. He made a great case for tolerance, which could be more pragmatic than anything I suppose, given the religious turmoil he had lived through.
Well, rights are an ethical concept. I don’t think you can really talk about Western ethical concepts outside of the context of the Judeo-Christian tradition. To say that the Catholic church didn’t behave in ways that were unethical by those standards doesn’t really mean that those standards weren’t a function of the ideas promulgated by the church.
The ancient Greeks and Romans were as equally committed to understanding ethics, without input from Judeo-Christian sources. In the case of the Greeks more flowed from them than to them as regards all of Christianity.
None of the rights asserted in the early English statements on such draw from particularly religious sources, so far as I can tell. Parts of them seek to protect the Church from royal abuse, just as much as protecting the ‘rights’ of the nobles (and to a much lesser extent free men). On the other hand, it seems the Pope opposed these assertions since they didn’t conform with Church dogma (or were perhaps perceived as forerunners of other challenges that would be made on Papal authority).
Maybe he’s building an underground bunker.
A missile silo, I hope.
I still wish I had the money to buy the old Titan missile silo that was for sale outside Tucson. Not so much the purchase price (which I don’t recall), as the truly staggering sum of money it would take to fix it up.
And mount the remote controlled chainguns for “greeting” visitors.
There was a prison for sale in, I think Colorado a few years back for around a million bucks. A whole prison. With all the stuff a prison has. You could rent it to studios and still live in it and have a pool, track, sports facilities etc. The possibilities were endless, like the time spent there by some of the people.
The one off 395 in California (going from SoCal up to Mammoth) was sold off as surplus property some years back as well. Interesting thing about it’s location was it was right next to a bunch of observation/sensor stuff that was part of either Edwards AFB or China Lake.
Yeah, it was clearly a story about friendship, but I could see how people might think something more was coming from Alberto’s side of things.

Then he fell asleep in his oatmeal.
In order to stop them, we should employ the Obama era strategy of giving them a shit ton of money and then letting them build nuclear power plants. This will prevent them from ever getting nuclear weapons.
If we could somehow make all their nukes fail spectacularly like Reactor 4 at Chernobyl, that might actually work. Ignoring the consequences, of course, as all good “international experts” would.
Funny, but the Iraqi Foreign Minister doesn’t seem too impressed with our attacks on allegedly Iranian-backed militia.
He has to play to certain domestic audiences. The Iraqis were probably the ones diming them out…
Is he Sunni or Shia? My experience has been that most normal people there don’t give a fuck but there are a lot of not normal people there. The Iraqi Kurds really didn’t give a fuck unless it was a PUK vs PDK thing but all that was still trumped by being Kurd. The PKK, well, that is another animal altogether. None of which I care about other than having made friends there. We have no business bombing anybody.

https://twitter.com/Jeffely/status/1408500896657547268
Yeah COVID is basically nonexistent in Israel right now.
Not the thrust of the Twat thread referenced above, but whatevs.
Yeah what I’m saying is that thread is bullshit. No, the Israel data doesn’t suggest the vaccine doesn’t work.
This crap is as bad as making people take the vaccine who don’t want it.
The thread isn’t trying to say the vaccines don’t work, but as an adjunct to its main point, people with mRNA vaxxes in Israel are still getting the ‘Vid from time-to-time, which sorta punches a hole in the belief that the mRNA vaxxes actually confer “immunity.”
Well, it claims to confer like 95% immunity. So you gotta roll a ‘1’.
Immunity isn’t a binary thing. It doesn’t mean any virus you are immune to immediately bursts into flame on contact with you. It means your immune system is sufficiently well primed to prevail against the virus. You will still get infections (that is, viruses reproducing in your system), but you’ll beat them, probably without even noticing it.
Did it occur to anybody that due the the high false positive rates on the tests that perhaps that is why the CDC recommends not testing vaccinated people for reasons they tested everybody a few months ago? So is asymptomatic spread now the myth it has always been or is it cover for all the vaccinated people walking around with covid?
