Thank goodness there are blankets on Mars.
Just when I make my peace with waiting, they do this…
“Activision Blizzard Settles Sexual Harassment Lawsuit For $18 Million”
“Mars might be 300 million miles away, but it’s not immune from trash.”
I did not see this coming. (Autoplay warning)
“Elon Tells Twitter Employees: Make It Less Boring, More Like TikTok”
Is it just me or is 2022 worse than 2020?
Yes, but at least masks (mostly) went away in 2021.
A lot of masks have been torn off, hurled to the ground and stomped into fragments since 2016.
What do you expect when it’s literally called twenty-twenty-too?
Not just you — but it makes sense. They’ve had 2 years to grind things to crap after being given too much power in response to panic-demic.
The alternate reality where people enforced election laws and didn’t let courts sidestep them is I suspect still not as good as 2020, but humming along. Enjoy your timeline, alternate me!
Not worse, but a lot more foreboding IMO. Stupidity reigns, and dark clouds are on the horizon.
Well, I’m retired now, so 2022 is pretty nice 🙂
The supply chain is worse this year
Mars, the only known planet to be entirely populated by robots.
“Observation: Only for now, meat sack.”
…that we know of. Granted, the chances are pretty slim of finding any existing life there, but I’m still holding out hope for fossils.
I’d be more interested to find out what’s under the icepack on Europa. I hope I live long enough to see that question answered.
I think I saw that movie:

Pelosi is from Mars?
I suspect the reality is life won’t develop on other planets in our system until the sun begins to expand and offer more life sustaining conditions on those planets. Of course, the sun will eventually expand to such a size that it will consume this planet. At that point the global warming alarmists can finally proclaim victory.

“In a company-wide town hall Thursday, Elon Musk said his focus would be profit, excising “boring” content, and allowing users to say “outrageous” things.”
So more like 4chan, not that he wants it more like a Chinese spy app.

SpaceX Said to Fire Employees Involved in Letter Rebuking Elon Musk
If I pull this shit on company time on company resources at my progressive financial services company I’d expect to be shitcanned. I don’t understand how all these “tech” company employees think they are so special.
They are used to safe spaces for their hatred.
It’s called SpaceX for a reason!
Groundwork being laid for an employment claim: https://www.theverge.com/2022/6/17/23172915/elon-musk-spacex-letter-fired-legal-protected-speech-nlrb
That’s a given. They knew that when they fired them.
In a sane world, this would not be about working conditions at the company:
“Elon’s behavior in the public sphere is a frequent source of distraction and embarrassment for us, particularly in recent weeks,” the letter states. “As our CEO and most prominent spokesperson, Elon is seen as the face of SpaceX — every Tweet that Elon sends is a de facto public statement by the company. It is critical to make clear to our teams and to our potential talent pool that his messaging does not reflect our work, our mission, or our values.”
Complaining about an owner’s behavior at work, sure. Complaining about his behavior not at work (“in the public sphere”), nope. And no, not every statement made by a CEO in public is a de facto statement by the company. I don’t think, for example, his statements as the CEO of Twitter are de facto statements by SpaceX. Nor do I think his observations about things that have nothing to do with SpaceX are de facto statements by SpaceX.
But, and trust me on this, the NLRB is completely off the rails, in a way nobody has seen in the past. So if they file a complaint, the NLRB will uphold it, because the Deep State hates Elon Musk.
Yup, it is of course a political attack.
That’s got to make the blood of the woke and useless run real cold.
He’s not wrong…. and one of the answers is that article someone linked a bit back (don’t remember exact link or time just now) that a lot of jobs, HR especially are to give the over educated (because college became the *must do* instead of encouraging trades where it made sense) children of the “elite” make work, effectively.
Yup. There’s nothing about a lesbian incan period blood art studies degree that qualifies somebody to do anything at a fortune 500 corporation, but yet they’re lousy with those types.
Generally a complete lack of understanding of how a company functions. You need to be doing something that adds value, for the most part.
It’s on a parallel with all the college grads who have a career goal of working for non-profits. Where, exactly, does the wealth to fund your non-profit come from if everything becomes non-profit.
“I’ve been in the private sector! They expect *results!*”
One of the the best throw away lines.
One of the things I have noticed over the years, is a company that is on the way up doesn’t worry about the small things. Like how much is spent on lunch everyday, how many extra people get hired, and so one, because the are focused on growth. Once growth stops, however it is measured, then and only then do they start bean counting.
Lots of that growth is just growth in debt; the cost per new customer usually grows too but its ignored. Then when the loans come due, bean counters are hired and they realize just how much they are losing on each new customer.
My wife sent me an article from the Atlantic (I know, I know) about how all the Urban living, smart phone assisted, lifestyle businesses such as Grubhub, Uber, and so on, are drastically raising costs. This is due not getting enough new clients aboard per the cost of advertising and competing.
https://www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/archive/2022/06/uber-ride-share-prices-high-inflation/661250/?utm_source=email&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=share
Not bad for post-2010 Atlantic. I’d be asking for too much to see the word “malinvestment”.
I’m pretty sure the likes of Home Chef, Hello Fresh and Blue Apron (there are at least half a dozen companies like these) are not making any money on me. I cancel the service once I’m done with all the discounts, switch to another company, get that company’s discounts and so on. And a couple of months later (or maybe even earlier) the first company starts sending me emails with new discounts to resume the service.

The current Twitter workers sound as spoiled as fuck, just coddled way too much.

Increased profits and increased profit margins sound like comfort and hope.
“We are the change we have been waiting for”
“Yeah, spare change”
Hope your back heals quickly, Zwak. If not, hydrocodone helps.
And have a little spare change (NSFW)
Speaking of lectures, yesterday I was at a medical conference, where one of the speakers was some old codger talking about Covid response. His ending lines of his talk were “the one thing I found most disturbing from the pandemic was the number of people with libertarian ideas out there, who are much more concerned about their individual liberty and rights than what’s best for others! These people are a menace, I’m sure you all agree. We need to think in a Communitarian way, so that we are all taking care of each other instead of only thinking of yourself. Thank you.”
Who knew libertarians were such a formidable juggernaut! 🤔
I was so tempted to stand up and say to the crowd of 400 or so, “Hi all, in regards to the last presenter’s comments, can I lead us all in a resounding chant of “Fuck off, slaver!”?
But of course, I’d prefer to still have a career, so I didn’t.
Fucking commies.
I can’t improve on that statement.
Fucking commies.
Also, fucking commies.
Even with “close x” on it, the “Sign up for Patch Notes” pop-up in the first link WON’T CLOSE!!! 😠

Too bad I won’t be seeing them.
It’s thankfully a Friday, I’m home, and I’ve got tickets to what should hopefully be a good show on Sunday. So here’s the link for the Zoom/Happy Hour/Sanity check which will be kicked off at 20:00 Eastern.
And for many of us in financial services we now have “Juneteenth” off as well.
I got three hours off, and it’s already over. 🙁
Date night with Mrs. Animal tonight, but I’ll be around (and probably drunk) for tomorrow’s Zoom.
Im a year away from wanting to move and I am getting a dark feeling I won’t be able to sell the house.
Can you sell it now and still rent it for a while?
I know my father did that once, while waiting for his new place to be built.
We are hoping we can sell one house at a minimum (in-laws are most likely moving with us) and then rent the other one. So its not as forboding I guess.
Hopefully, you’d be able to rent it out, even though being a long-distance landlord has its drawbacks.
Maybe depends on where you are, but I doubt that will be the case. There’s still a fundamental shortage of housing, and it’s likely that new construction will be suppressed more than anything.
Vegas and Henderson are still growing like crazy but Lake Mead and the Colorado River are being so mismanaged.
Should have chosen the Yes Man ending instead of letting the NCR keep Lake Mead and Camp Golf.
There’s still a fundamental shortage of housing
Color me skeptical. I’ve seen the claim made a few different times, and it strikes me as wishful thinking from most of the people I’ve heard it from. There may be a shortage of single family homes compared to those who wanted one when interest rates are 3%, but that’s a very different thing than a fundamental shortage.
“Oh, yes! Definitely a shortage! That’s why we need for you to share this house with these families…”
I hope this stuff will drive home to the public that cops are just like every other part of the government.

:facepalm:
So the public health crises you mismanaged is the reason for you to declare this? Got it. People are fucking stupid.
” racial, health and economic disparities in cities…”
I read that as “Democrats are racists.”
If you afjust for levels of obesity in different populations, much of the “disparate impact” in the health outcomes data vanishes. But no, let’s keep insisting there’s different health outcomes only because all doctors are racists, and individuals have zero accountability for their own choices, rhey should have identical outcomes regardless of what they do.
I think I know what happens next and it’s probably not going to help the tax base there.
So, OFF-TOPIC EXTRAVAGANZA!!
On Tuesday I had outpatient back surgery, which, so far, is about as fun as in-patient back surgery. I have only fallen once, spent a day to scared of the pain to get off the couch, or even slide to one side of it, have been taking the max dose of Hydrocodone at a time, and I get it, I really do! I am, however, able to get up and go to the bathroom by myself today (Zwak go potty? Whose a Big Boy!) But I am not allowed to lift over 5lbs for a month, so there will be lots of calls of “wife, WIFE.” So, I got that going for me, which is nice.
Now, back to your regular snarking.
Glad it went reasonably well, that you aren’t running an illicit opium den or plotting a new Opium War and hope the healing goes well.
And that your wife doesn’t kill you out of frustration from the “wife, WIFE”. 😉
In other words — I just wanted to tell you good luck. We’re all counting on you.
The Biden economy has even raised the cost of orphans. Not being able to carry a 12-pack sucks.
My wife is a nurse, so unfortunately she has ZERO sympathy left for me whenever I get sick or injured. I heard, “suck it up, you ain’t dying” far too many times.
But I am not allowed to lift over 5lbs for a month, so there will be lots of calls of “wife, WIFE.” So, I got that going for me, which is nice.
Brings back memories. We moved into our current palace 20 years ago. Two weeks before the move I tore my right calf walking up a flight of stairs; since I was on crutches, Mrs. Patzer handled the moving duties while I tried to keep our then one and three year old boys out of the way. 3 days after we moved in I wound up in the hospital with a DVT caused by bleeding out from the torn calf. To this day, she still gives me shit about that.
So, no masturbation for a month? Feel better zwak.
Make that lazy wife work for you. Milk it for all it’s worth.
Get your patriarch on!
Investors Bet One of the Biggest Trades on Wall Street Will Unwind
Never thought I’d learn more Japanese from the WSJ. In the picture:
米ドル – bei doru = USD
What an odd mishmash. It uses a portion of the formal word for the US – 米国 “beikoku” – wonderfully literally read as the country of rice. Plus the katakana for dollar ドル or “doru”.
Japanese uses the simplified ideoglyphs?
Three alphabets at the same time.
Hiragana, katakana, kanji.
The simplified here is katakana. Used for loan words.
I think he’s referring to this guy – 国
Might be the same in simplified Chinese. I don’t know.
It means country.
中国 Middle Country aka China. I believe it is written the same in simplified Chinese as Japanese.
Yeah, the traditional character for ‘country’ is more complicated.
It is used outside of China – Hong Kong (probably not for long), Taiwan, overseas, etc.
And specifically no. Japanese’s uses traditional. It’s just some simplified Chinese still uses the same characters as pre Mao .
Japanese has its own simplification system called shinjitai. Some of their simplified characters are the same as Simplified Chinese but most aren’t.
That’s right! I read that before and blanked on it.

Because that makes sense?
Because they’re not hiding it any more.
Exactly. It was widely known when she took the job.
Just like it was widely known she was a diversity hire, and now you’re seeing the consequences.
Dayum. That had to leave a mark.
That’s not encouraging me to ever want to visit Twitter.
“An anti-feminist backlash is in full swing, and the latest iteration is the reemergence of the bimbo — this time as a self-styled socialist.
Yes, this is anti-feminism, even if it’s coming from some version of the left, and even if it’s cast as a joke.
A significant number of young women are seeing this version of “feminism” peddled as new and edgy on social media, when really it’s just very old and boring conservatism. The bimbo, the stay-at-home girlfriend, the tradwife — these are retrograde stories sold as liberation.
The rise of the leftist bimbo is not an isolated TikTok trend. It’s part of a greater backlash against women competing with men, and of women claiming an equal right to political, social, cultural, and economic participation….”
https://twitter.com/JillFilipovic/status/1537880289325682690
“For all of the problems with so-called #GirlBoss feminism — an insulting caricature of female ambition, and a term feminists never embraced but that has somehow been used to deride an entire once-vibrant resurgent feminist movement only tangentially connected to the “female founder” and that never promised anyone could “have it all” — it was a hell of a lot better than the kind of franken-feminism that claims to be anti-capitalist when it’s not about creating new ways of living or mutual dependence, but rather… making sure men maintain a monopoly on economic, political, and social power, and a small handful of women can benefit if those men deem those women worthy. (The women deemed hot and young enough to be worthy, I should note, will at some point no longer be hot and young enough to be deemed worthy of individual male largesse, an inevitability the bimbo-proponents aren’t particularly interested in addressing).
And it’s a feminism that encourages female ambition that was “never attainable for the vast majority of women”?”
https://jill.substack.com/p/bimbos-and-the-backlash
Oh, there it is.
I don’t think anyone hired Margaret Hamilton because she was hot and young, since she wasn’t really either, but rather because she could and did develop the software engineering principles that helped get us to the moon.
The problem with feminism is that its caricature of the past is inaccurate at best and totally wrong at worst, and its solution for the present and future is to leave both men and women unsatisfied and resentful at each other, and every enterprise unable to muster the competence and ambition to achieve great things.
Filipovic is one of the dumber and more malicious thought leaders of the 21st century. She cannot tolerate the idea that people desire different lifestyles than her.
I defy a rational person to make any sense out of that.
I think Orwell had something to say about the ability to issue forth long sequences of words entirely free of any content.

Who is responsible for inviting him to Zoom?
Dude is amazingly self aware.
That might have been me: I believe I posted a “One of us! One of us!” reply to this Tweet of his, and then a link to Glibertarians.com.
(I meant “to whom should we delegate the authority to invite him to Zoom for his Official Glibbening?”. Sounds like you took care of it 😉 )
Ah, but does he just lurk, or does he have a screen name we’ve seen many times?? ::glares suspiciously at everyone currently posting::
I didn’t want to out him, but it’s MikeS.
D00d. Not cool.
No comment.
If you don’t know who the Elon is the comment section, it’s probably you.
If I had that much money, I’d replace this crappy carpet.

I actually have to dye the drapes to match the carpet. 👩🦰 😉
Lol.

Sounds like something Elon would say.
So, you are saying there is a musky scent to a freshly picked tulpa?
Should hold an auction to decide who gets to tell him to “fuck off Tulpa” first.
Did he finance the rebuild of the website?
Its definitely not me.
I think it’s pretty clear it’s Brochettaward (or whatever the fuck)
Nah. Elon would’ve Firsted by now. Bro’s just a dilettante.
It’s gonna be a shock to a lot of people here when it’s revealed that Bro is actually Trump.
Elon delivers. Bro just keeps promising.
Well the bro keeps gestating… They way the past 3 years have been, I cant rule out anything.
Geez. We’re gonna have a Hindenburg size First at this rate.
If I were Elon, I’d pay a strikingly handsome man with an unbeatable mane of golden hair and a sultry voice to represent me on the Zoom. Maybe one who also dabbles in experimental aviation.
I almost suggested you, but I figured your ego would go supernova.

Solid rant.
Flashback: The neighbor who was causing me all sorts of grief over her stash of precious metals has done exactly what my wife and I predicted she would do. She trusted her vulture friends and they vacated the gold and silver from her premises for “safekeeping.” She is now afraid she won’t get it back and is attempting to get a lawyer behind their backs. There are reports of yelling between her and her “friends” when they visit.
Mind you, there is no physical record of the assets (probably around $750K at today’s prices) so she is fucked. We warned her not to trust them, but they played on her fears and she took the bait. I half expect I’ll get a call to give a deposition since I’m the only one else who knows what was in the safe. They’re going to need a subpoena because I’m not in the mood after she slandered my wife and me.
*scrounges around for shocked face*
It was a little difficult not to smile when the other neighbors told us.
Still fucking sad, though.
A reminder that you need your people around you. Always.
It is sad and it was completely avoidable.
We were getting her set up with a trust to avoid this exact situation.
“I told you so” == the sweetest phrase in the English language.
So we’ve been sitting on the tarmac for two hours now, waiting for our six hour transcontinental flight to take off. The problem is that the equivalent of the “check engine” light is on and won’t go off no matter what they do in this reportedly brand new plane. They literally just turned off the plane and turned it back on a few minutes ago, the same as the tech reboot of “unplug it and plug it back in”, but to no avail. I have a bad feeling I’m not getting home tonight and this is after having my flight completely canceled yesterday and rebooked for today. Sigh.
“They literally just turned off the plane and turned it back on a few minutes ago, ”
Lulz. Tell them to check the thermostat.
Drink!
“Hello sir, yes, this is Boeing tech support, have you turned it off and back on?”
They should post it to the Boeing forums to see if someone else has found a solution.
There was a post in the 737Max forum, but the poster never came back to tell them how it turned out.
Ouch.
I’m flying on 737Max twice in July.
A couple of weeks ago, I was supposed to fly home on a Thursday with my mother so she could move into her new place. Got a message when I woke up that one of our flights was canceled. Found out we were booked on 2 separate flights, which wouldn’t work. Called the airline and rebooked for Saturday. Come very early Saturday morning woke up to a text saying our first flight was delayed to the point where we could not make our connection. I called the airline and was told the wait time for someone to talk to was 8 hours (after my flight was supposed to have taken off). Ended up with a flight late on Sunday with her in first class and me in the cabin.
For some reason I’m not happy.
Is there anything Hunter didn’t record?
