This showed up at my front door last night.
Foolishly, I let him in, and now OMWC is ensconced on the patio couch.
So let’s get these little gems out of the way.
No truth to the rumors that Hillary was seen in the area.

A sign of the greatest timeline ever.
A lone voice in the wilderness.
How about a little Marshall Tucker Band today?
You know your getting the straight shooting journalism when the author calls the disease “zombie like”
Yeah that was a biased article.
“highly contagious”
Yeah…. no. Prion diseases are not “highly contagious”.
Further:
“usually results in death”
Prion diseases always result in death. But how can we possibly expect a “journalist” to do some basic research? That kind of information isn’t readily available on Twitter!
Hey!
Mad Cow disease happened before Google and Youtube! How can you expect a journalismist to be aware of anything to compare it to!
Because Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy is oddly fun to say?
Wow, two links, one comment:
I’m banned for life (or life so far at least) from giving blood due to living in England for a cumulative 6 months during the mad cow years. Found that out after waiting in line for about 3 hours to give blood at the Pentagon after 9/11.
On the plus side, I got to eat a lot of steak even on a semester-abroad student budget in England. For some reason beef was very cheap during those years!
Me too! I did my year abroad for college for that exact year. Early on they said it would be restricted 20 years, but last I checked it was still current ban. *sad face* oh well.
We know Spud loves big tits as much as he might try to convince you otherwise.

“I didn’t want anyone to see that, but here we are. I am not ashamed of the private video circulating of me on Twitter. This was a recreational activity that I did with my friend at the time, for fun. Like many young people, I have grown into a world where some of our most private moments have been documented online[…]I am a proud BDSMer. I like BDSM activity,”
As goofy as this guy is, I have to give him credit for just owning it. I regularly praise G-d that social media didn’t exist when I was single.
Yeah, someone pointed out last thread that this was obviously a promotional push. Dude was ignored in the campaign until now.
“flagged to The Post by Weiner’s own campaign manager”
Missed that part…
Yeah this is a Hail Mary plea for attention.
So a Republican?
Well the primary is soon though. I guess a Democrat then..
Yeah, his manager whipped out this video. Like a good sub, he’s gonna just take what he gets.

Does your wife know that? Hopefully she left town for a while.
Was Champ found anywhere near the secret Trump passage ways? Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of Hair/Hat residue?

Nice rack!
Of course Biden had a German Shepherd. Because he seems like the kind of asshole who would use his dog to intimidate other people. Like Putin did to Merkel.
…and the Merk got over on Biden with the pipeline. Win-win-win. Even Joe was told he was a winner
Of course Biden had a German Shepherd. Because he seems like the kind of asshole who would use his dog to intimidate other people.
I don’t really get this… isn’t that the point of a large breed dog? My three German shepherds are extremely friendly with family and friends, but of of their roles is to intimidate people outside this trusted group. And it’s been very successful marking our home as a high-risk target based on some info that’s been passed on to me by others.
Now, my wife’s cousin has a Belgian Malinois that can’t be controlled. It’s bitten many people, including among their friends and family. My wife was urgently screamed at to grab our daughter and run inside when it accidently got lose and I wasn’t there. I’ve already given fair warning that I’ll put it down on the spot if something like that ever happens again while I’m present.
Biden had 2 GS. Apparently Champ was the one that wasn’t biting people. Didn’t read the article to say if he died at the white house or back in DE though.
Well, it’s a Saturday and I’m at home, so I’ll kick off a Zoom/Happy Hour/Vacation planning at 20:00 Eastern.
Wow, looks like everyone tapped out already after I left to take a phone call.

I didn’t know that was a thing. I might have to dive in so that I can properly condemn it.
They probably had to remove it to appease the bean counters.
BDSM guy is named Weiner? LOL. Is he related to Anthony?

Zack’s father, Eric Weiner, is a co-creator of the popular children’s television show “Dora The Explorer.”
Dora has done some interesting exploration…

On Thursday, only 12 people in Canada died from COVID-19. For context, in a typical year 19 Canadians can be expected to die every day from flu or pneumonia. In that same average day, 17 will die of Alzheimers, 38 will be killed in accidents and 11 will die by suicide.
In much of the country, the risks from COVID-19 have now been definitively outstripped by Canada’s other public health emergency: the opioid crisis. Two Albertans died of COVID-19 on Thursday. By contrast, in just the first two months of 2021 Alberta saw an average of four fatal overdoses per day.
The opioid “crisis” has nothing to do with “public health”, but otherwise it’s an interesting point.
Also interesting is that the one thing certainly making it worse is all the lockdowns.
True. You get an opiod death by recklessly seeking thrills. You get the ‘vid by other people recklessly being free.
The part of the article that bugs me the most is this :
”Now, as Florida’s usual world of conferences, summits and book tours start up again, he faces fines and even jail time if he so much as steps outside for a walk before his quarantine ends on Tuesday. He suspects he’s not the only one thinking hard about whether it’s still possible for him to do his job from Canadian soil.”
“This is literally like hanging out a sign and saying ‘global talent, we’re kind of on the fence about you,’” he told the National Post.
Now I really don’t know the guy nor his opinion, but I strongly suspect those people were among the firsts to call for those lockdowns and vote for Trudeau.
Sounds like the type of person that can afford to leave to a better place, say Texas and Florida, and will leave us with the mess here to clean while they go carpetbag another place and start again, having learned nothing.
Those people deserve it strong and hard, and stay locked in in perpetuity.

The trouble is, we haven’t done nearly enough rational assessment of the harms and benefits of anti-Covid strategies. Invoking the idea of existential risk to push us all into complying with behavioural rules got the Government a free pass for policies that, in normal times, would have been unthinkable. Critics of specific measures were easily lumped in with conspiracy theorists who said the whole thing was a hoax, or “just the flu”. Suggesting that baton-charging sunbathers in parks was counter-productive provoked cries of “How many people do you want to die!?”
But there is also a danger that we’ll come to see the world only through the prism of risk, whether quantifiable or existential. If no level of risk is acceptable, why not surrender our everyday freedoms forever? When will we ever reach the point of it being safe to take off the masks and sit next to a stranger? When they first announced a lockdown in March 2020, the UK government turned on the tap of fear, but I don’t think they realised how hard it would be to turn off.
Until Covid came along, that falling appetite for taking risks was a soft cultural slide. Parents worried about letting their children play outside unsupervised (as they probably did at the same age) and then worried about their child’s mental health when their social lives moved online. Intimacy was something that the young, especially, liked to postpone, preferring more casual relationships, and mediation though technology. Why risk the awkwardness of telephone conversations, when you can text instead? Culture, from comedy to Young Adult literature, was trying to be less edgy and more inclusive, by avoiding material that might make somebody uncomfortable.

Weird question…apparently my ebay account has vaporized. My username and email address are both not recognized when I try to log in. It didn’t bother me that much last year and I made a couple “guest” purchases – but I’m wondering if it would be more useful to try and get it reinstated since I did have a good solid rep #.
However…I can’t find any way to contact anyone to ask about it that doesn’t require logging in with something. It was with a hotmail account – and I’d prefer to keep all those details separate from my gmail/etc accounts. I don’t see any emails in my hotmail history about an account being disabled or anything but I suppose I could have missed them if they went to the junk folder a couple years ago.
Anyone aware of a general contact email or something else that I could use? It seems weird that my email account and username are both not recognized at all without getting a message like “suspended” or something else.
Try here: https://www.ebay.com/help/call_us?type=ContactUs&initFrom=ARTICLE&topicId=4379
If that takes you to the general help page, at the bottom you’ll see a Contact Us link.
Thanks. Already tried that but every option requires logging in. I guess they got tired of spam emails so there’s no simple “contact us” email address for general inquiries.
Looks like it might have been closed for inactivity: https://answers.gethuman.com/eBay/How-Do-I-Recover-My-Ebay-Account/how-fEt
but just seems weird not to have seen any indications/warnings/etc.
I hate Ebay with the heat of a thousand suns. I was a pretty prolific seller for a number of years, but then they started ripping me off. A little became a lot and now I just buy and only when I can’t find it from a more reputable source. Hiding from your customers doesn’t seem like a nice way of doing business either.
I’m digging E-bay right now. Between the two auctions I won today and some good “buy it now” deals; I’m cornering the market on MAD Magazine paperback books.
Buying assets, yo!
Yeah, there’s still some good stuff to buy there. It’s been watered down with their general “99 cents store” approach, though. They really went nuts on sellers and screwed me numerous times. That’s why most of what they have is new and all the cool old stuff is harder to find. I have better places to sell stuff, that aren’t trying to abuse me. I still buy when I find something I need and it can’t be had elsewhere.
I’ve only used Ebay a few times – a beer stein, a couple 80’s German sci-fi paperbacks, a 70’s world atlas… I can’t imagine where else I would look to find stuff like that?
It used to be like America’s yard sale, with everything you could imagine. They fucked with the sellers so much, that anyone who’s not a large business mostly gave up or adjusted prices to make it not worthwhile any more.
That’s why I get a million identical hits for brand new chinese stuff that’s pretty much full retail instead of all the cool old used stuff that used to be on there. They made it clear that, if you’re not too big to fail, you’re not welcome.
I can go to Amazon for that.
‘Zactly!
Yeah, I used to use ebay a ton back in college for moving used books, comic books or dvds. Once I get a new account might try a few more batches of books but gotta meet that time/money equilibrium.
I used half.com a lot more for books/movies (non rare stuff – other than some flicks) because they reimbursed you for media mail shipping etc. You just had to list your item for a couple cents less than the next guy – too easy – at least when I worked next to the post office.

The appeasement strategy is working well:
Proud #Juneteenth is now a federal holiday.
As we reflect on the significance of what this day symbolizes, let’s keep fighting to address the lasting consequences of slavery.
Next step: reparations.
Right, because no one had the nerve to call for reparations until we made Juneteenth a federal holiday.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_programme
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transitional_demand
If you have a point just say it I ain’t reading a bunch of wiki’s.
They got a national holiday to talk about how bad America was for having slaves and how America is still shit because of its effects and we need to do more to fully realize emancipation such as reparations.
You know, I really don’t care if the government thinks that America is bad. I think that the government is bad, so it balances out.
I really don’t care if the government thinks that America is bad.
Except they think that is a good excuse to increase their power over you…
“They” got a holiday, You have lost your goddamn mind.
Slavery was bad and ending it is worth celebrating. That some idiots want to foist their stupid shit on top of that is no reason not to recognize that very basic fact.
What mind?
Yes. It’s a bit odd that it’s the day the last people found out about it, rather than the day it actually happened, though. Kind of a subtle means of shifting the kudos away from the white guys who actually brought it about and focusing on the black folks who eventually got the news. Not surprising considering the newspeak employed throughout modern America.
“They” got a holiday, You have lost your goddamn mind
I was referring to the Squad and their SJW ilk lest you are trying to insinuate something…
some idiots want to foist their stupid shit
Describing the elites as some idiots doing stupid shit is quite the understatement…
You are right, I made an assumption, if I was wrong I apologize. However, that just brings us back to my original point that “they” (the squad and their SJW ilk) were going to do all that whether the rest of us celebrate the end of slavery or not. I for one am not going to allow what someone else might do stop me from doing what I think is a decent thing to do.
I thought it celebrates the fact that Texas was hard to conquer.
because no one had the nerve to call for reparations until we made Juneteenth a federal holiday.
Yawn. I don’t give half a shit about Juneteenth becoming a federal holiday, but let’s not pretend that this happened in a vacuum. The context is a racist movement gaining increased traction in society at large. Considering that almost all pro-juneteenth messages I’ve seen have been overtly racist is damn concerning. But people on the fringes advocated something in the past, so that means it doesn’t matter that it’s becoming mainstreamed on the back of this racist movement. ?
Trump actually wanted to make Juneteenth a holiday and Democrats didn’t really care until just last year. Also Juneteeth emoji has a raised fist. Nothing concerning there
Can you cite where Trump wanted to make Juneteenth a holiday??
Here:

Not remarkable that this hasn’t been mentioned lately. I see the news media treated it as some cynical ploy by Trump to gain Black votes. Biden and the Dems would never do such a thing (chuckle).
The Fed didn’t get enough advance notice, so the banking system couldn’t shut down on a dime. Thus, my credit union was open, so I had to work.
I’m confident the Bidarris administration will find some other way to shut down the banking system with little to no notice. Whether or not they then get it open again remains to be seen.
AND, more importantly, my asshole mayor didn’t have time to adopt it as a city holiday so I had to work too.
I’m fully on board with a national holiday to celebrate freedom for all Americans.
Saw an article today that made a convincing argument to ditch one of our other national holidays in favor of it, specifically Veterans Day (combine it with Memorial Day) or better yet Labor Day (commie BS). And of course arguing against politicizing Juneteenth for left-liberal causes. But of course the holiday to go will be Columbus Day.
Ilhan can go suck an egg.
I can’t see Veterans Day going away – WAAAAY too much “thank you for your service” sentiment for that to fly. Memorial Day has become “start of summer,” and Labor Day, for better or for worse, has become “end of summer.”
::shrugs:: I can live without Columbus Day. The Vikings were here before he was anyway.
::shrugs:: I can live without Columbus Day. The Vikings were here before he was anyway.
Is that you Neville?
Toss Washington’s and MLK’s birthdays. Holidays should be based on events, not people.
The more holidays there are, the less “work” the government does ( not mentioning that I get them all off too!)
Someone who voluntarily gave up power rather than rule as a king? Washington has to go.
Veteran’s Day has a real worldwide historical connection too – started as Armistice Day – and shared by all our allies – UK (and the Commonwealth), etc.
Yeah, I would rather keep that one if one of the two had to go.
Columbus day has been legally changed in Cali to ” indigenous people’s day.” Which I take as a slight to the people who made Goodfellas possible, personally.
Italian American Heritage Day.
I’m fully on board with a national holiday to celebrate freedom for all Americans.
Except this won’t be it….
Also does this day do that? Jim Crow, Women couldn’t vote until 1920 and then there is the Indians…
Also the Holiday they really want to get rid of is July 4. Notice that it is Juneteenth National Independence Day. And only two weeks before July 4. And July 4 commerates the actions of a slaveowner…
That’s Biden’s politicized name for it. Nobody will call it that.
I agree that all the usual suspects will politicize the fuck out of it, but if there is an event worth celebrating, I can’t come up with many better than eliminating slavery as a very significant advance in bringing reality closer to what was promised in the 1700’s.
I’d have no problem with it normally but the formal recognition in today’s atmosphere will be used as a cudgel and a formal admission of the guilt of the father being passed to the son. It will placate no one and is chum in the water to some.
Agreed. Time will tell. I have some small confidence that the American people will reject the worst impulses of the power-hungry.
the American people will reject the worst impulses of the power-hungry.
I admire your optimism…
?♂️ Pessimism is no healthy way to live life.
But you’ll never be disappointed!
Memorial Day or Juneteenth? Kick off of the summer riot/burning/looting season.
There are some preseason events, unscheduled at this time. Portland lost all standing by running a daily schedule, which tended to weaken the impact of the city rivalries.
I have some small confidence that the American people will reject the worst impulses of the power-hungry.
I do have more confidence in the American people than in American politicians. A point for optimism would be remembering how California voters last year rejected racist (affirmative action) academic admissions, despite the fact that their elected representatives were almost all in on it.
The Union Army ended slavery. None of the three celebrations as shown on tv news tonite (in Philly, Wilmington, and Cherry Hill, NJ) featured any acknowledgment of that fact, nor Union re-enactors. O.K., so time was short to organize, but we will see if any of the parades next year even invite participants from the Civil War descendant organizations. My ancestor suffered a bayonet wound on July 2nd, 1863 – so that’s all the “reparations” you’re getting from my family.
You’re arguing like my wife. This has nothing to do with actual reparations, this is about stealing wealth and grabbing power. And you’ll pay unless you can figure out a way to be a beneficiary.
Man, you got it lucky. My wife argues like one of us is going to die and it had better be me. I knew she was a lawyer when I married her, and when you need one (I often have) that’s when it pays off.
Oh, sorry. That’s not when she’s arguing with me, that’s when she hears something on the tv news that she disagrees with. She accepts their premise and their purported concerns as if they’re arguing in good faith and want a fair outcome. If only I was that lucky.
That’s why I put “reparations” in quotes.
Democrats are trying anything to distance the selves from the fact that they are party fo slavery, KKk, segregation, and Jim Crowe laws.
Democrats have traded in black american slavery for american slavery under socialism/communism.

More thoughts:
Juneteenth is gonna be fun when make up snow days run up into it in good snow years.
Having explicitly made a black holiday, every other racial and ethnic group will want to get in on the fun (except the Eyetalians, because FYTW). And I can only imagine the slur names for the holidays that racists, well the racists not pushing it, will come up with it.
Thanks to the success of remote learning, NYC Board Of Ed. has already announced that there will be no more snow days; kids will log on to remote learning if the weather is too inclement.
Ah, there you go…problem solved.
HAH! It never snows in Los Angeles, so we won’t even wait until then. Everyday, from now on, the teachers will retain their mute buttons and get paid even more perks and get a raise. NY is a bunch of pikers.
That’s sad for future generations of kids. There was an incredible joy in listening to the local radio station, patiently waiting and hoping to hear your school district mentioned as closed due to the blizzard. Then if you heard it, you screamed in delight and went to break out the Flexible Flyer. Instead they will get to sit at a computer all day and look out their windows at drifts they don’t get to play in.
You are correct but they can just push the make up days into the weekend if necessary. There’s plenty of Saturdays to work with.

Meh, that’s how L.A. cops work already. They scan the crowd and look for people who match the description of those they have caught before. Anyone with even a hint of fear upon seeing them get’s the third degree. If they match the profile good enough, the cops will frame you for something and think they did society a favor. Every once in awhile, they get caught. The rest just pretend it’s only that one guy. Rinse and repeat.

Newly single chick returns to the social circuit
You know what, good for her! She’s 95, newly widowed, and still has the stones to show up for something like this. That’s pretty badass.

I was in meetings at a hospital yesterday. They were cancelling all elective surgeries that might require transfusions. Between the lockdowns – no blood drives at high schools and colleges – and people who can’t donate because they are getting vaccines – blood banks are scary low.
So fucked up. Actually endangering lives just to get the upper hand on a president you don’t like for…reasons.
Girlfriend’s father (who has advanced lung cancer) missed several chemotherapy treatments because they were deemed “non-essential”.
It just pissed me off beyond belief how any opposition to the COVID hysteria religion was written off as “killing grandma because you want frosted tips”.
Fuck the lockdowns and fuck everyone who screamed for more restrictions.
That’s an interesting knock-on effect I hadn’t thought of. I wonder what other surprises are in store.
You can’t donate if you’ve been vaccinated?
Only for convalescent plasma.
For regular blood giving, there’s no waiting period if you’re symptom free (which is the same as pre covid, don’t donate if you’re sick) and received one of the three FDA approved vaccines or AstraZeneca or Novavax.
https://www.redcrossblood.org/local-homepage/news/article/covid-19-vaccination-guide-blood-donation.html
I am always somewhat skeptical of shortage announcements. Blood is a perishable product and the blood banks are dependent on donations to ensure a constant flow. The last thing they will ever say is they have enough donors, thanks, and see their supply dry up.
I am being offered $20 to give blood by red cross. I dont wear a mask and they want masks worn, so no blood for them.
Plus, I am having a moral dilemma about helping large percentages of Lefties who need blood. Fuck em. I am betting that when the numbers come in, Lefty supporters need more blood than nonLefties.

From the Bee: Nation’s Libertarians Renew Push For 365 Federal Holidays A Year
Carrying on from that, I liked Massie’s idea that the only day fedgov could do any work was every four years on Feb 29.

Walla Walla sweets are here. Summer begins.
And comments are eaten.
Two Grandaughters excluded a third one from their combo iced tea/cupcake stand being set up at the farmer’s market tomorrow. I smell family schism…
Gotta cut the fat early Festus if you plan on making a profit
Happy Father’s Day to all you real, rented or Dad-sexual Fathers out there! Get a blowie, if you can!
Who would have thought that 90 seconds of fun would turn out to be a lifetime of headaches.
Happy (step)father’s day, F!

Happy Father’s Day Dads.
Hung out with my Dad a couple weeks ago – he’ll probably call later too – but I plan on celebrating by watching the final Indiana Jones flick at the Alamo. (LC)
Got my dad a box of wine.
Dope.

SQUEEEEEL!!!!!! Man, oh man… I’ve been drooling for one of those since 2008.
So apparently the state of CO will soon start calling the “unvaccinated” to encourage them to comply. No, that is not borderline illegal. At. All.
OFFS the bodies are still fresh.

Anti-Tenor terrorism by a bass or a baritone?
But yeah – lead with the boneheaded, uninformed spouting off by the ignorant mayor.
(Maybe the driver was going after DWS?)
Narrowly missed DWS…?
So just the G community, not BLT or Q.

I’ve thought about going open carry several times since the lockdowns started. Never did though.

Good morning to this morning’s morning crew – LCDR, Ted’S, l0b0t, ‘sloper, rhy, & Sean (and you lurkers – speak up!) Happy Fathers Day, as appropriate! All is sunny & serene here at Tranquility Base, in stark but pleasant contrast to yesterday morning, though as I was pitching “camp” this morning, there were more sirens wailing down the nearby main drag than usually warranted by a “code” at the nearby retirement complex or Doc-in-the-box. Hope no one’s morning is being ruined by a structure fire.
Hope all of you are having a delightful day so far. This afternoon, TT & I will bake in the sun watching our beloved local minor league team. Much sunscreen will be the order of the day.
Good mornin.
I gots burgers and steaks to grill today. Gonna be a good day. ?
We grilled Italian sausages from Sam’s, with little cherry fry pies from the farmers’ market for dessert! 😀

Another American industry being offshored?
