I feel that, like newspapers, the nighttime shows should have died off about a decade ago, and so must be getting carried along by the basest of advertisements and the generosity of wealthy malefactors.
My local butcher shop makes a sausage they call “The Four Horsemen” — a zesty link made with Scorpion, Habanero, Ghost, and Carolina Reaper chiles.
Every time I go there, I have to restrain myself from saying (in my best faux-Scottish accent) “I’d like the Four Whore Semen, please.”
THE DAILY STOIC RETVRNS
I like it.
“But any elected official who needs to have their laundry picked up or their belongings moved should hire a private company to do it,” he said.
What’s the point of getting elected to office then if you have to hire private services to do those things?
There’s just one unusual thing about it. For instead of the pots, pans, silks and spices you might expect, the bazaar sells only one product. It sells data — mine, yours, your neighbours’, your family’s.
I have a vague memory of reason, many years ago, having a special issue about how this wasn’t necessarily a bad thing. It dwelt on all the good things that can come from the data folks collect about you. But nothing about the bad things.
I laughed at that V. And also the Helvetic chosen one.

I’ll have to start a company selling cell phone signal blocking bags and faraday cage covers for your car’s sharkfin transmitters. I would have to assume no liability in-case they are used exclusively by disgruntled exes, police off or on duty, and legitimate business men. I’ll have to get the R&D team working on the shimmer technology from A Scanner Darkly.
Killing the 3G networks stopped my car from reporting on me.
The radio comes and goes on my 1994 Ford, so they’re just getting bits and pieces
My federal associates have told me about Internet of Things items like “smart” coffee makers, refrigerators, washing machines, etc routinely listen in and report directly back to China.
The US needs to invest in domestic production of integrated circuit, stat.
Or we could just not make or buy stupid shit like “smart” coffee makers.
Yeah, I don’t see the point of a smart coffee maker.
I read an article about smart (=WiFi enabled) Instant Pots entitled “Alexa, please burn down my house.”
Stuff like that doesn’t make sense to me. Sure, it would be cool if you woke up to fresh coffee. Or you could push a button and wait 3 minutes. But putting food in an Instant Pot and turning it on later by WiFi sounds like a recipe for salmonella.
I don’t even see the point of a WiFi sous vide. Set a temp and walk away. Every few hours glance at it to make sure it didn’t stop working. (I have had two break on me).
Bluetooth ones make even less sense to me then the WiFi sous vide sticks. At least WiFi you can check from anywhere else on the same network, but the short range of Bluetooth means you’re right near the stick already.
Clearly you use the bluetooth connection to connect to a wired device that bridges it to a real network.
My Bluetooth grill thermometer is awful for that particular reason. The grill is right next to the chimney, so I get about 10 feet into the house before the connection issues start.
My three rules of IoT devices are:
1) “it’s neat” isnt enough of a reason to put a comms chip in an appliance or device.
2) it should never connect with anything outside of the local network unless it is required for a particular function (and voice control isn’t a legit excuse, nor are software updates).
3) it should communicate in a way where you don’t need a proprietary app to connect with it.
I’m not perfect. I have some light bulbs that get permission from the CCP to turn on and off. However, they’re on a separate VLAN and they’re not making the move to the next house.

Variants!
Agamben looms large.
Though I try to stay optimistic, the number of people who sincerely wanted and waited for their children to get this (all the way back when it was 12-18yo rather than the current iteration) has been a major black pill for me. I lost a lot of respect I had for a number of my coworkers, and the pervasive attitude of fear and compliance left me feeling quite isolated as a result. Things have loosened up quite a bit since this all got crazy, but I can’t deny a lingering feeling like I lost something that I can’t ever quite get back.
Yup. There are two aspects to it, for me. One is the unmasking of a whole lot of previously respectable people as panicky idiots. The other is the lingering damage to the fabric of society. Personally, I still have to swab my nose every two weeks and I have declined good job fits because of ongoing covid policy. I know others have been impacted more acutely.
We haven’t even scratched the surface of the rot this has caused yet.
as panicky idiots
“A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals, and you know it.” [Why is it that some movie quotes are so much more true than the best of philosophy or religion?]
That was “TRUTH”.
I get to swab my nose twice a ******* week in order to go to work.
A lot of it is probably irrational. I have never had anyone say or do anything untoward to me, personally. But the way things played out, and the degree of compliance, even from myself (jumped on the Pfizer double-shot early, always wore a mask when legally/professionally required), combined with the vilification of the noncompliant, and the blatant hypocrisy/mendacity/incompetence of the government-corporate shitshow that rules us, made me feel like I was already living in a cyperpunk dystopia. Nobody wrote this exact future as a book, probably couldn’t have done anyway (fiction has to be believable in a way reality doesn’t), but it’s chilling nonetheless.
Having dumped all that negativity:
On the flip side, I’ve basically gotten a totally different view on things, which I think is much more realistic, than I had before. Maybe that thing I lost and can’t get back was the last shred of childish innocence/naivete. I’ve been exposed to, and sought out, ideas I would never have considered before. History, political science, sociology, biology; all of these fields of study, which before I looked down on but could not articulate why, I now instead find fascinating. There’s an immense amount of poorly suppressed knowledge out there, which is heretical to mainstream discourse and big institutions, but is often enjoyable to discover and enlightening to consider (even when wrong).
Interesting, I’ve had the exact opposite reaction. My minor was poli Sci. I was thisclose to going to school to become a genetic biologist rather than an engineer.
As the facade of the pursuit of truth has been ripped off institution after institution, I’ve found it all so very tedious. I don’t want to have to dive into the cross tabs to figure out if that survey is legit or propaganda. I don’t want to have to dive into the types of grants funding the research to figure out whether there was a bias introduced in the results. As a result, my interests have drifted elsewhere.
You are not alone.
“I lost a lot of respect I had for a number of my coworkers, and the pervasive attitude of fear and compliance left me feeling quite isolated as a result.”
A few months into the panic I missed my coworkers, some of whom I really liked, and was looking forward to returning to the office. As time went on it became clear to me that I would no longer be welcome and now wild horses could not drag me back there. A lot of people have been permanently damaged, or maybe they just needed a little prodding to show their true colors.
Scan the comments and drink them in. Those are your neighbors, your cousins, your coworkers, your college aged kid. They would literally take an injection of potassium cyanide if FedGov and TMITE told them it would cure acne. They would wear a chloroform soaked rag on their face if the corporate social media goons told them it would balance their humors.
Read the comments and understand that, while they may not represent the average person on the street, they do represent a growing portion of the population, a portion with zero critical thinking faculties and a big ass chip on their shoulders.
“They would wear a chloroform soaked rag on their face if the corporate social media goons told them it would balance their humors.”
That reminds me of someone writing somewhere that “The study of history is first and for most the study of human behavior.” During the Great Plague, different countries in Europe handled things differently, even countries within themselves. If some parts of France, they burned down their business centers because that’s where they thought it was coming from. Of course they were wrong. The French cities that didn’t torch their business centers recovered more quickly economically post-plague than the cities that did and some of those cities that did never recovered at all. We essentially did that here in the US.
Hide ya kids, hide ya wife…
If you really want to blow a gasket, read the synopsis of their study. It’s based on 10 symptomatic kids younger than 5. It’s sciencey.
If it’s the study I’m thinking of, those ten kids were after the third shot. There were 375 infections after the first shot and prior to the third.
So they didn’t include 97% of the infections in the analysis of the efficacy.
My next-door neighbors have a kid between 2 and 3 yo. Just a few weeks ago I saw the parents and the kid wearing masks on the street in front of their house. I suspect they were doing it because the miracle vaccines were still unavailable to the kiddo.
Yep. Super Democrat Girl down the street from me was just like that, not leaving the house, mask everywhere when she had too, etc. Man, her husband looks run ragged, but I will bet dollars to donuts he was right there with her.
The biggest problem is that now the path is paved for Covid vaccines to be added to the CDC mandated vaccine schedule for children. And many, if not most states, do not exempt homeschooled children from following the CDC schedule. This is a huge problem due to compulsory education. This is setting the stage for armed agents of the State to put parents in jail or seize children for noncompliance.
I don’t know if the government will go that far, but if Australia is our future, this is the stage being set.
I can see people getting vaccinated with lead over that one,
The lines have been drawn on the COVID vaccines.
I am reluctant to get any shots ever again. I strongly suspect they will add Covid vaccines to all future flu shots without mentioning it.
I used to get flu shots each year but my trust in these pharma/political/investor fuckers could not be lower.
I thought even WHO said kids shouldn’t get it. Has that been memoryholed?
That was in Moderna’s last fiscal quarter after they’d fulfilled all the government’s orders (which are likely being dumped into the ocean right about now.) Do try to keep up.
My wife and I both tested positive for COVID last week. The doctor didn’t even feel that it was worth testing either of the our kids. Our one year old had a runny nose and our four year old never showed a single symptom. Why the fuck would I give them an experimental “emergency” vaccine for something that could be accurately described as “a sniffle”. These people are disgusting.

Interesting, I didn’t realize they reissued Rio after they broke through on video.
Saw the new Top Gun and was thoroughly entertained. I have far fewer problems with it than the first one. It did a good job of the “familiar but new” that plagues most sequels. It also did a good job of respecting old heroes while introducing new ones. I don’t even care about the throw-away plot point about the best modern aircraft not being available for the super important mission. I’m even ok with “random rogue state” being the enemy. And, of course, Jennifer Connelly is superb. One change I would make is that “random rogue state” does not have access to the Su-57. “Random rogue state” has access to the newest iteration of the MiG-29. This 1) puts real MiGs in the movie for the first time and 2) makes the final dogfight more realistic, though I think it was handled pretty well as is. All in all, will watch again when it is available to stream.
Saw it today and I agree with your review. It wasn’t high art, but it was a good fun movie that did not have a political statement in it.
One question I have is how in the hell do Tom Cruise and Jennifer Connelly look so good at their age. I’m assuming some deal with the devil.

Mighty Zardoz – I’ve been selected for jury duty. I haven’t decided if I really wish to serve as I would be required to answer Questions 16, 23 and 25 honestly.
https://www.njcourts.gov/attorneys/assets/attyresources/jurorselectionquestionscrim.pdf?c=T3X
Q16 – Newark police continue to operate under a consent decree for a federal monitor with US DOJ for civil rights abuses.
Q23 – The Essex County Prosecutor’s Office clearly turned a blind eye to the events in Q16.
Q25 – If the court Tells me Black is White and that’s all I need know… IOW, in NJ jury nullification is nullified. It’s actually part of the voir dire!
Add a note at the bottom:
“What kind of questionnaire do the felons have to fill out?”
That already on the preliminary questionnaire!
In NJ they are ineligible.
I was implying the defendant is guilty. Why else would they be on trial?
Q16 – A person can equally believe that both cop witnesses and non-cop witnesses are lying sacks of shit.
Q25 – A person can know what the law is, and know that the courts have been consistently wrong about their interpretation of the law. That is not a belief; that is citizens correcting their employees.
“CORONAZOMBIES”

Heretic!
Paul predicts the Ukrainian government will ask for more and said the United States could not afford to keep fulfilling those requests.
“Ukraine is going to ask for $40 billion more apparently this fall,” Paul explained. “Then it is going to take hundreds of billions to rebuild the country. Look, I have great sympathy, but we do not have hundreds of billions of dollars to rebuild Ukraine. We can’t endlessly supply them with weapons. So, no — to me, it is a fiscal issue, not necessarily a military issue.”
I was disappointed to find out this weekend that my grandfather has gone all in on the pro-Ukraine/anti-Russia narrative, ignoring any and all nuance on the issue (we are of Ukrainian decent and I am of Ukrainian dissent…). But he’s old, so…
I just don’t think a US/Russia war is a good idea under most circumstances, especially not for a country that is not an ally or asset to the US.
“Look, I have great sympathy, but … to me, it is a fiscal issue, not necessarily a military issue”
This is the furthest anyone is willing or able to go at Paul’s level.
The real power of the legacy media is not its waning influence over the general population of this country, but its ability to keep 100 Senators, 435 Representatives, 9 Justices, 1 President, 1 Vice-President, and 15 Department Heads from ever stepping too far outside the realm of approved thought.
Newfields, NH prosecutor drops last charge stemming from protests in front of Governor’s house
After 18 months, Newfields Police Prosecutor Michael DiCroce is finally giving up on the case against an NHJournal reporter who was charged with a crime while covering protests outside Gov. Chris Sununu’s house.
DiCroce said he was tired of losing.
“We’ve tried eight or nine of them before Judge (Polly) Hall and she’s found all of them not guilty,” DiCroce said. “I’m not going to waste my time prosecuting the one or two left.”
NH Democrats continuing lawsuit over Lil Rona accommodations
Most Granite Staters may have moved past the “masks and lockdowns” phase of COVID-19, but state Democrats are still pursuing their months-old lawsuit targeting state House Republican leadership over pandemic policies. And in their latest filing, Democrats have raised the rhetorical stakes, insinuating that Republicans are responsible for former House Minority Leader Renny Cushing’s death.
Long-standing House rules require members to attend sessions in person in order to participate. Since February 2021, Democrats have been in court attempting to force Speaker Sherman Packard (R-Londonderry) and GOP leadership to allow members to conduct business — including casting votes — remotely due to fears of COVID-19. “They still want to do everything by Zoom,” Packard to NHJournal. “It just doesn’t make any sense.”
Seems like any involvement by the judiciary here would be a violation of separation of powers. Unless NH has a very unique constitution, the response should be “this is an internal matter of the legislative branch”.
I think that’s part of why they’ve gone to Federal court. The other part is the ADA. Their early claims, and probably the current claims, invoked the ADA.
Ah, of course. If the Civil Rights Act is our new Constitution, then the Americans with Disabilities Act is its Fourteenth Amendment.
*lifts cage on front of helmet*
Who are you, who is so wise in the ways of CON Law?!
The fearful Democrats should just wear a mask or 3. Mask are safe and effective right? That’s why they keep wearing them right?

Because Republicans are evil
Biden said Monday that he could make a decision on pausing the federal gas tax by the end of this week. “I hope I have a decision based on data,” he told reporters traveling with him in Rehoboth, Del.
A gas tax holiday would require congressional action and one White House official acknowledged it would be challenging. “Republicans don’t want gas prices to come down,” the official said. “They want Biden to suffer.”
I’m not gonna lie. I want Biden to suffer the the torments of Hell. But I want meaningful long term energy policy. not some stupid superficial bandaid which will make things worse in the long run.
That $40BN we’ve shipped over to Ukraine would go a long way to suspend fuel tax and pacify the DOT for a bit. Then again, it doesnt pay off the right people and garner favor.

Unforeseeable
Excessive heat causes more weather-related deaths in the United States than hurricanes, flooding and tornadoes combined.
Around the country, heat contributes to some 1,500 deaths annually, and advocates estimate about half of those people are homeless.
Temperatures are rising nearly everywhere because of global warming, combining with brutal drought in some places to create more intense, frequent and longer heat waves. The past few summers have been some of the hottest on record.
Just in the county that includes Phoenix, at least 130 homeless people were among the 339 individuals who died from heat-associated causes in 2021.
“If 130 homeless people were dying in any other way it would be considered a mass casualty event,” said Kristie L. Ebi, a professor of global health at the University of Washington.
130 is not half of 339.
Maybe hundreds of people are living on the streets because of the policies embraced by the “activist community” and not despite them.
Of course deaths due to cold are greater than deaths due to heat.
Also, the CDC data I found said deaths due to heat were more like 500 to 1000/yr, and that includes cases where it was just a contributing, not primary, factor
Game 3 of the Stanley Cup finals starts NOW!!!
Tampa Bay needs to get their shit in gear.
WHAT. A. SAVE.
First beer of the day. Ahhhhh! Much refresh.
A quick scientific analysis concluded last year’s Pacific Northwest heat wave was virtually impossible without human-caused climate change adding several degrees and toppling previous records.
Pay no attention to that giant yellow nuclear reactor in the sky.

Apparently, every single libertarian woman in the country is in this tournament.
Today’s average was a pathetic 35.5. I assume it’s because everyone is hung over from their crazy Juneteenth celebrations. It’s good to let your hair down from time to time, but keep your eye on the prize, people.
Tonight’s musical selection is a great tune about how much corporate radio sucks. It’s by one of my absolute favorite bands/artists. If you enjoy it check out more of his stuff.
dammit. Not a reply about “global warming”
I dunno, MikeS. All that talk of libertarian wymyn is hawt.
Good point.
