Adios, ketchup.
The Steelers have renamed their stadium. (And the new name is terrible.) Malkin is a free agent. It’s British Open Week. The DOJ is looking into the PGA’s treatment of LIV players. And that’s pretty much it for sports today.
Pay attention to me! How dare you comment on how I look! Sorry, sweetie, but you can’t have it both ways. You want to show your tits and ass in public then post it online, you better be prepared for people who don’t like to to comment as well. Either way, she got what she wanted: publicity.
These dumb bastards. You don’t drive through a checkpoint. You just cross in the desert and find a road.
Shinzo Abe was laid to rest. He was a good guy. Such a shame.
Racist a-hole.
Mmm…tacos. Of course I didn’t see anything about this racist insult from the first three places I get links from.
Damn, get some clothes on that kid. I don’t know wether to laugh or cry, but it sure looks like the Twin Cities is lost to the crazies.
“Please take care of everything for me, daddy government.” These dumbasses are gonna put small businesses out of work, all because they’re too stupid to do their own research. Well here’s a newsflash: licensing is fucking stupid, and it creates barriers for entry and ultimately limits choice while enriching the government.
Let’s roast some marshmallows. And meth.
“We don’t need no water, let the motherfucker burn. Burn, motherfucker. Burn!” These are the consequences of your actions, Bay Area authorities. Now reap what you’ve sown.

You are supposed to use a chicken restaurant.
They were delivering this to Hunter Biden’s house?
*The restaurants are for laundering money, the industrial laundry is where the drugs are made.
They were being used to import it before the lab under the laundry was running, as far as I can remember.
Ah damn, you might be right.
Chicken Trucks.

“‘Raul helped build this organization with the understanding that the diversity of this community, as distinct as the bodegas of the Bronx, as beautiful as the blossoms of Miami, and as unique as the breakfast tacos here in San Antonio, is your strength,’ Biden said”
OFFS!
I would never have known how to pronounce bodega without the brilliant aid of Dr Jill Biden.
I don’t think there is any way something called the Latinx IncluXion Luncheon could have gone well.
I learned how to pronounce “bodega” from Paul Simon.
Everyone is dunking on the stupid bitch.
Just as God intended.
OMG, this one is even better!

Jill should learn some San Antonio history.

“Well here’s a newsflash: licensing is fucking stupid, and it creates barriers for entry and ultimately limits choice while enriching the government.”
True, but I think there should be licensing for some things, but this has gotten out of hand.
Eh, I think professional organizations can do a good enough job of policing their own. We don’t need states arbitrarily determining who can and can’t engage in a profession or business.
In the age of instant information at one’s fingertips, there’s no need for the state to vet who can braid hair, do nails, conduct auctions, install HVAC systems, practice law, or perform surgery.
I was thinking for things that could impact public safety, like explosives. Although the law often doesn’t make sense. You need a CDL and a Class 2 to drive a box truck professionally, but any idiot with a regular drivers license can rent one from U-Haul.
I give those rental trucks a very wide berth on the road.
The Class 2 is only necessary if it’s over 16k GVWR with air brakes but under 26k GVWR, isn’t it? I think the rental box trucks are just under the limit.
Back in my olden days when I ran lumber yards, we had non CDL drivers for our 24′ box trucks that delivered millwork. But maybe that’s changed.
Pretty sure it varies by state.
I drove hot tubs on a flatbed (18′?) – no CDL required, at least back in the day.
::cues the 80s porn music::
Voice over: He was just a simple truck driver, little did he know the hot tub business meant special deliveries…
Watching U-Hauls ignore all the signs on Storrow Drive on the first of September is an annual event.
I was walking over one of the bridges when I watched a rental truck just nail one of the hanging rubber signs and disappear under the underpass.
I was thinking, “huh, they must cheat on those warning signs a bit” and half a second later heard this horrible screeching sound and felt everything vibrate.
They were still trying to extract the truck when I walked back an hour later.
There was a nice triple-star on the windshield – wear your seat belts, kids.
CDL drivers regularly ignored the height signs on the 4th street train tunnel on the University of Louisville campus.
You would feel the whole building shake, then see a truck opened like a sardine can.
3rd street…it has been a quarter century since I worked there.
I liked the videos at http://11foot8.com. They even have a sensor-based warning sign and last minute turn off but people still plow into the bridge.
“The GPS said to go THIS way!”
“I can’t deviate from the instructions no matter what I know about the situation.” VDOT made some horrible left exits on expressways. There is a particularly bad one just outside DC with people trying to merge from the right and cross multiple lanes to exit left. Check out https://twitter.com/hashtag/statcam?f=live for some DMV stupidity in action.
US 33 south out of Columbus, On ramp from Winchester Pike merges from the left, exit to SR 104 is on the right maybe 400 ft along. People are always cutting across both lanes of 33. If you’re a local, you just learn to look out for it.
There’s a railway bridge that crosses Ponce de Leon Avenue between Atlanta and Decatur – built as a concrete arch back when that was the very fashionable neighborhood – Olmtead-planned park and everything. Well now Ponce is 4 lanes under it. On each outboard lane, there’s a yellow diamond that says “10′ will not clear”, but you can’t see it till it’s too late to do anything about it.
The inside of the arch in both directions is all scarred up from the corners of trucks/trailers, and the faces (especially on the W side) have smash-scars on the concrete shaped just like the corners.
*Olmstead, that is…
Ponce de Leon may be my favorite Atlanta pronunciation.
For those outsiders, it is pronounced exactly like you would expect if you knew no spanish at all.
Near my folk’s house there is a low train bridge – any delivery driver has to take a long way around to get to other side of the street.
Of course there are always a few who think otherwise: https://i.imgur.com/ZDWOxJm.jpg
I can’t think of a low bridge in our area. Instead there are a lot of at-grade rail crossings, some without signals. We still have plenty of bad drivers.
There was a kid around here that wandered off and drowned. He was described as six years old, wearing only a diaper.
No one without a serious mental handicap should still be in a diaper at six.
I know some dudes that wore them in their 30s, 40s, and 50s and they got off having their lady baby them…
Needless to say those people are kept at a distance for admitting this kink shit…
I stand by my statement.
ABDLs. We have those in my world, too. Hard pass. Gross.
You want fun? You should see one of those people come on to a cancer survivor who has no choice but to wear those.
I’ve noticed a trend among younger people towards fetishes/lifestyles that promote learned helplessness and walking away from adult responsibility. ABDL’s, puppy play, etc. We have raised an entire generation of people who want others to take care of there most basic needs this will not end well.
Hey, Tonio, sorry, webdom at this URL, bounced. Is that the right address?
Oops, my bad. I assumed that was her glibmail address but I don’t have any way to look that up.
Forward it to me tonio at this_domain dot com and I’ll relay it to her through the secret admin message board.
OK, thanks.
You bring up something that had been baffling me for a while, but recently left me despondent once I admitted it to myself, Tonio: how many adults (by age) just refuse to be adults. I am now tacitly admitting to myself that most humans will sell their soul for the promise of safety/security, even when the promise is blatantly and obviously false, because being an adult, responsible and accountable, is too difficult for them.
And that my friend is the root cause of our problems in this country. Solve that and everything else pretty much takes care of itself.
It’s not limited to this country unfortunately JI: it’s a global problem.
The lack of so many to accept personal responsibility as a requirement for real adulthood is why the world is going to shit. Stupid people are far more incentivized to do stupid shit when they will not have to face consequences.
I don’t care about the rest of the world – they can figure out their own shit. We need to figure out ours.
As far as I can tell, people _want_ a boot on their face.
I think it is more about accepting a boot on your face as long as you can live with the fantasy that your neighbor is getting it twice as hard…
We’d keep a distance from you if you admitted your kink shit….

The VP of my division tells me his in-laws “own” a set of suites on a cruise ship. They live in one on a permanent basis and rent the other one out. Their retirement is one continuous round-the-world cruise.
That describes almost all of the favelas here on the west coast. A bunch of mobile meth factories (RV’s) tarps hiding cars and trucks, trash everywhere, and every six months a bulldozer rolls through. The east side of Portland is like this, Sac river bottoms, looks like Oakland is burning now. Every turnout of the freeways is like this out here. And the leftists refuse to see it.
They see it, and is evidence of the need to have socialism.
Totally ignoring the fact that 25 years ago, the number of people living in tents was literally 1% of what it is now.
Well, they are homeless now.
I had a girlfriend who loved getting rimmed, but refused to kiss afterwards. And since I preferred kissing it lead to a fight.

“Amazon is quietly developing vaccines for breast and skin cancer that will be cheaper than current treatments as firm recruits patients for FDA-approved clinical trial
The online retailer recently launched an online pharmacy service, primary care business, in-house diagnostics lab and a a fitness-tracking device called Halo.”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11004321/Amazon-developing-cancer-vaccines-partnership-Fred-Hutchinson-recruiting-patients-trial.html
The article makes it sound more like a treatment than a vaccine.
Anything injected is now a vaccine.
May I interest you in our heroin vaccine?
Go on…
“Give her the old hot beef vaccine!”
That’s because it is. The CDC changed the definition of vaccine overnight of 1 Sep 2021 (to 2 Sep 2021). They removed immunity from the definition – the sine qua non of a vaccine.
FOI emails show it was because they were getting savaged over the fact that the mRNA clot-shots aren’t vaccines – they’re gene therapies.
But you can’t mandate a therapy under Supreme Court case law; not even a life-saving one. (See Cruzan v. Dir.)
That’s why they call them vaccines – to rely upon the paradigm of Jacobson and people’s sense that vaccines can be mandated.
In SEC filings, the manufacturers referred to them as gene therapies and they’ve done so before other regulatory agencies, as well.
It’s all fugazi; the whole thing is a giant fraud on pharma’s behalf and behest.
“They removed immunity from the definition”
That’s retarded, but thanks for the explanation.
I would have never tagged you as straight edge.
He’s sick of the CDC making “The Argument” for vaccines while the people are still in “The Waiting Room” being lied to.
I have no idea if that’s a joke or… I’m not following your comment at all, Neph.
“Straight edge”?
Heh I got it.
Me too. Hint: last sentence.
It’s a type of music Ozy. Fugazi is a straight edge band.
Or at least Minor Threat was.
“You kids and your loud music!!”
*shakes fist*
“Now get off my boh-ge-da… my bojang… damn it, you know, the taco people thing!!”
It was a joke with you using the word fugazi, which was a punk band well known for being straight edge.
The proper crossing arm pose is of course with a beer in one hand, and a cigarette in the other.
When I was a teenager I really liked Minor Threat… but never cottoned to Fugazi, who were just a little too funky/strange for my simple tastes of yore.
When I was a kid, “fugazi” was the term that the local tough guys, like Hook Nose Vinny and Joey V, used to refer to something that was a fraud, a fake.
I could never stop laughing when Johnny Depp used the word “fu-GAY-zee” in Donny Brasco.
In the eye-talian neighborhoods I grew up in, the “a” doesn’t get the long “ay” English sound, but the “ah” sound.
Way back in the day (15 years ago?), I was working with actual scientists on this stuff (sounds like a similar technology) – it was activating your white blood cells to attack cancer cells. Weaponizing your immune system against cancer. Not really a preventative vaccine, not really a chemo-type treatment, something in between. Because it used the immune system, they were calling it a cancer vaccine even back then.
I think it’s arguably a hybrid, but that’s assuming it worked as advertised on human beings – and it doesn’t.
Consider this – these mRNA shots are designed to mimic the LF (lethal factor) in the nucleus of the virus, the spike protein, and not the other 90% of the virus… of what is very likely a GoF enhanced virus. i.e. A bioweapon by any other name.
So the “vax” manufacturer and FDA are pushing a never-before-used-in-humans technology that hides an mRNA bundle inside a lipid nanoparticle so it evades all of the other layers of your immune system (skin, hair follicles, nose cillia, airway tract, mucosa, and on and on) and goes directly to your own cells and instructs your own cells to make the shitty part of the modified virus – the spike protein.
In sum, they’re injecting your cells directly with the instructions for coding up a pathogen on the HOPE that this will produce “immunity.” And shortly after the trials started, they abandoned the pretense that it even provided “immunity” and instead touted it as “protecting against ‘severe’ Covid.”
It’s a criminal fraud on a level never before seen in the history of humanity. The Nazis didn’t even come close to this scale.
The technology I was involved with wasn’t mRNA. Not sure if the Amazon technology is, but I doubt it. We were working on taking a patient’s own white blood cells, activating them and reinjecting them, which sounds like the “personalized vaccines” in the article.
That’s part of the marketing. Vaccines are good (which many are). Therefore, anything labeled as a vaccine must be good. You don’t want to be one of those anti-vaxxers, do you?
I got into that argument with my (Canadian) brother – why in the hell would I want to take a poorly tested “vaccination” that doesn’t actually vaccinate. And requires more… and more… and more booster to keep it ahem “working”.
Note that I did come down with Covid in January this year. And yes it did suck – lost 10 pounds and a bunch of muscle mass since my appetite was gone. But, to be honest, I’ve had worse flus. Especially one I had in 1996 that was beyond terrible and would have killed an elderly man. Weird thing, ever since I had that flu I’ve never had another.
Jaime – I used to believe that, but I would strongly suggest that you look at all-cause mortality after the introduction of vaccines. It’s the standard we use for any other drug… but not vaccines.
Indeed, a close look shows that every vaccine rollout has been attended by massive fuck-ups by the government.
Even polio – look up “the Cutter incident” in which the manufacturer (Cutter Labs) didn’t inactivate the polio virus, so a couple hundred thousand kids were injected with active polio. Thousands got sick, several hundred were paralyzed, and 10 (at least reported) died. Read about the swine flu debacle in 1976, which had to be shut down.
Worried about “vaccine hesitancy”, the 1986 statute that limited vaccine manufacturers liability has been nothing short of a complete liability shield for big pharma. Just think about what kinds of incentives that provides.
“Shinzo Abe was laid to rest. He was a good guy. Such a shame.”

“There have been a ton in the other homeless encampments around the city,” said Tijiboy, noting that the fires often start from propane tanks or a fire that was started to provide heat and got out of control.
Ban propane.
I’m sure you can get enough Californians to vote for that.
Hell, I’m sure CARB already has the regulations lined up if they haven’t issued some already and I missed it.
Didn’t they already ban new homes that use gas?
Some cities have passed that, but it’s not statewide yet. Of course homeless camps will be exempt. Harass the normals, coddle the deviants. It’s the the Progressive Way.
We had a heck of a time trying to replace our gas stove recently in California. They wanted us to convert to electric in a state known for rolling blackouts. We’d like to still be able to cook food during our common 48 hour stretches with no electricity, your majesty.

The daughter of a friend of mine went on some feminist rant about how she should be allowed to dress however she wants without guys touching her or even staring. I told her that the reason she dresses that way it to get guys to stare at her. She at least admitted I was right. “OK, maybe they can look.”
Not in England…apparently staring is a form of sexual harassment.

A few weeks ago EF and I were walking the dogs around the block. There is one house where a friendly husky lives so we usually pause there so our dogs can get some play time.
Well out pops one of the teenage kids there … and his girlfriend. She was wearing white thin shorts that were cut so high that her ass was hanging out. And a white crop top with no bra. She – in EF’s words – looked more nude than nude. I wouldn’t – asshole alert! – let any daughter of mine leave the house like that.
When Bro Dean’s daughters were preteens and teens, he (well, his wife) had a sign on the inside of the back door; “Tights are not pants”. I told her the kids were probably just putting their tights in their backpacks and changing on the way to school. She actually looked surprised.
“the reason she dresses that way it to get guys to stare at her”
Sure… but only the right guys.
I do feel for women, though. They have to deal with a lot of creepers.
True, and I did agree with her that grabbing was out of line.

Speaking of the homeless… and using the government to hobble your competitors…
There’s a commercial on the Roku Channel (where I have been binge-watching Hell on Wheels) featuring some fat guy claiming to be an Indian chief from some tribe in California. He blabbers about how California was stolen from them, and whatnot, and then he gets to the heart of the matter. You need to vote for [law X] which will tax online gaming and sports betting, and use that pot of money to finally address homelessness.
Who the fuck sees that and says, “At last, at last, we will fix homelessness. We just needed a few million more dollars to throw at it.”
Holy shit, people are stupid. More naked avarice and back room politics is what this country needs.
Rent-seeker want to tax his competition at a higher rate. That’s all that is.
Even money says that guy is affiliated with Cache Creek or Morongo Casino.
Mmm, Barbara Eden money….
Damn your edit fairy privileges!
Cache Creek Indian Bingo and Casino,
You know Cache Creek is where the cash flows.
So his pitch is, you stole California from us, and now we want you to steal money from our casinos?
We didn’t steal California from the Indians.
We stole it from the Mexicans, who stole it from the Indians. Then the commies stole it from us.
Let’s just say, for the sake of argument, “we” started giving financial assistance directly to the bums on the sidewalk. Does anybody seriously believe they would take that money and use it to rent an apartment and turn their lives around?
80% of them will be dead from an overdose by week’s end. Half of the remaining 20% will be dead cause the others killed them to get the money to go get high.
So the homeless problem does have a (final) solution!
*insert Michael Scott grimace here*
The world/life is unfair. Some people can make horribly dumb mistakes and never face serious consequences (Hunter Biden, anyone?) while others end up dead in a ditch for making one bad mistake. I firmly believe in helping people, but sometimes you have to admit you can only help the ones that want to be helped. Not saying you give up on the ones that are lost, cause some can reach the point where they have a chance, but reality is that when you have limited resources, you will be forced to make choices. The choice today seems to be to ignore the problem. It has not worked well for the people affected.
Hmm, so we reduce by 90% – that sounds pretty effective!
You just described San Francisco.
Even money says that guy is affiliated with Cache Creek or Morongo Casino.
It’s so incredibly transparent (to us). But I’m sure there are a few million Californians eager to vote for that because they think it will make a difference.
More like they think it will make them look good.
Shinzo Abe was laid to rest. He was a good guy. Such a shame.
Maybe too early and maybe I’m the only one that feels this way, but there’s some…. let’s call it karma… that someone who upheld such strict firearm control for their citizen subjects (and not their own security detail of course) was taken out by a homemade firearm.

What do these fuckers have in mind? I swear, I’d love to see Schiff gutted like a fish; and I rather dislike that he can inspire such hatred in me.
What the hell? A bill that would have Congress completely give up it’s oversight duties?
I guess it is at least consistent with how they empower regulatory agencies — but yeah… what the freaking hell is my reaction as well… And with that unethical lying weasel pitching it as well… very very weird…
I don’t think it’s the same. One is delegating, the other is trying to remove constitutional authority from itself, which is surely unconstitutional.
The courts have been pretty clear that the current legislature cannot pass rules or laws that stop or limit future legislatures from executing their duties as they see fit.
This is so they can avoid a republican controlled congress after the November elections being forced by the people that elected hem to actually have to look in the criminal activity from congress people, like Shiff, that were involved in real abuses of power and lying to the American people for personal gain for the last 5 years…
I think there is a lot of truth in this. And I hate that what would have been a conspiracy five years ago, now seems like fact.
‘The exemption from congressional oversight is narrowly focused on the domestic deployment of troops ‘
So, potentially the most dangerous bill ever introduced in Congress?

Yeah, it’s the politicians attacking teachers that are politicizing schools.
My daughter’s class had to make an art project depicting President Obama when he won re-election in 2012. I don’t know what happened in 2016 but I doubt that assignment was still in the syllabus given that teachers at the school were taking days off to mentally process the election and crying in the classroom the day after.
I spent a semester in Sri Lanka in the 80’s, Absolutely lovely place that should be a huge tourist destination. Back when I was there the civil war was in a lull but still simmering. The country was starting to prosper despite some earlier experiments with socialism. One reason things were picking up was improved agricultural methods. I met several consultants from Norway who were introducing higher-yielding strains of rice – which along with the right fertilizers made farmers more efficient. The civil war eventually ended – and the country should have been on the way to prosperity, until they elected idiots who emulated our western elites.
The new eco-woke government quickly ruined all that with a fertilizer ban in 2021.
Banning fertilizer has to be the stupidest thing ever.
Yep, they finally topped Mao’s war on sparrows.
I bet those fancy strains of rice were GMO and did evil shit like prevent blindness
Those peasants are better off being “sustainable” than with that colonial bullshit.
The Davos crowd would like to get the global population down below 1 billion….
They will need to find ways to sanitize the most populated parts of the world….
So what you are saying is that the definition of “sustainable” might be a bit misleading?
Like when I was promised “regular” sex after getting married only to find out once a month is regular. What I really should have asked is regular and frequently.
So we should be demanding sustainable and bountiful.
Then you want GMOs and intensive fertilizer usage.
aka viagra and lube?
My fear is moves like this are by design… marxist takeover always involves some tens of millions dying from man made starvation…
Davos-man is not marxist. This is syndicalist socialism built on top of feudalism, all run by the PMC.
The only difference between marxism and feudalism is that the marxist are better at putting all sorts of noble aspirations on paper to hide the fact that they are a barely functioning feudal society. And the worker camps.
The marxists were utopians, but because they never really account for human behavior they always end up with dystopias. Like our own progressives (from the original versions to the latest) they just don’t understand why their good intentions don’t pan out, and their only answer is to DO IT HARDER.
I had more or less forgotten about the civil war there until you brought it up. Somewhere I have a book on child soldiers which included a section on how they were employed by the Tamil Tigers during that conflict.
Wonder if this collapse will cause a resurgance of the sectarian split as it creates an opening for power grabs.
They were some evil communist shits. I cheered when the government finally got fed up and just cornered and killed all their leaders.
My ex’s brother and SIL (both of whom worked for UNESCO) adopted a Sinhalese girl when the child was five or six. Some time later they introduced her to one of their friends, who was Tamil. They didn’t tell her that – only that he was also from her country of birth. The little girl, normally quite lively and outgoing, instinctively shrank away from the man. ☹️
Makes me wonder what happened before the adoption.
Indeed. IIRC, she’d been abandoned at a hospital, and some of her behavior early on suggested she’d had to compete for food – with bigger, stronger siblings? Other children on the street? I don’t know whether they ever found out.
Is she racially Sinhalese or Tamil? Those are 2 races that live side-by-side but DO NOT mix with each other.
Sinhalese.
Aren’t humans just capable of the most idiotic behavior imaginable?
Helps that most weddings are probably arranged by the parents, potentially through a match maker. Most westerners really don’t understand how most of the rest of the world works. (Myself included, but I do have a little window into it)
It is weird to think at first, but there are a lot of issues with mixing cultures. If you’re really serious about preserving your people, you probably shouldn’t do it. Most societies historically and today have shunned that, and there is probably a lesson there.
The lesson is we are very stupid apes.
What if mixing cultures is your culture?
Watch for it – this crisis will be the stepping stone for China’s dominion over Sri Lanka. They seriously need a stronghold in the Indian Ocean and their new 99-year lease on Hambantota is part of it – the foundation of a naval fortress in India’s back yard, and west of Malacca. They’ll come in as the combination creditor/savior for Sri Lanka and own it, as per the plan.
Remember, PRC is basing their empire-building on a Sino-fied version (less fighting, more buying) of the creation of the British Empire. Think of this as Malta or Singapore in that model.
“Watch for it – this crisis will be the stepping stone for China’s dominion over Sri Lanka.”
This has already happened. China was Sri Lanka’s biggest financier. They practically own all infrastructure (including the airport and port facilities). And the Chinese global empire will not be like the American one where US tax payers kept pissing away their tax money on shitholes: the Chinese empire will extract serious value out of their new colonies like good colonial masters used to do. Sri Lankans are gonna be China’s bitches just like in every other country where the belt & road project did its thing and will devolve into economic collapse of the local system.
The PRC will only gain control if they also buy off whoever seizes power next, and the guy after that, and the guy after that, until they put their own boots on the ground. They’re going to get some regimes that just tell them to pound sand, that debt is the previous government’s. And PRC boots on the ground in Sri Lanka will lead to war with India.
Look at how they handled most of their investments in Africa UCS…
Africa is also not literally on the backyard of a peer level power.
The near peers China deals with all already turn a blind eye to China’s abuses, including the US, because the Davos crowd that runs them is al bought & paid for by the CCP.
They know that, but I think they’re aiming for their boots on the ground to basically be a fait accompli after their “assistance” in bringing peace – when it’s all done they just never leave, and they’re betting the Indians don’t initiate at that point.
Right, but what I mean is that (I think) this may be the one they pick to be out in the open. They are looking for a “step up” event, to be the “big man” to the exclusion of everybody else. And coming in as a savior (feeding starving Sri Lankans and bringing peace and stability) is part of the story they want to show. I think they’d do it even if they had food shortages at home, if it fit the image they wanted to show.
I read that one of the reasons Sri Lanka’s economy tanked so hard was that the government insisted on repaying the BRI loans on schedule rather than default, and so the normal subsidies they would have been pumping into the ag sector went to China instead.
Leave aside the wisdom of having an agricultural system that’s completely dependent on subsidies for importing fertilizers–anyone with half a brain could see what the BRI was intended to do–deliver hegemony over the Third World to China.
“Be happy in your work!”
I read recently that they were hitting up India and Russia for oil/fuel, which is putting further strains on any western intervention in the problem. For good or bad, I don’t know at this point.
The full article in Foreign Policy is worth reading.
I had seen a video on it not long ago – my take-away was it wasn’t primarily “we’re Green!”, it was “we don’t have enough foreign exchange funds to keep buying fertilizer” (which, skimming that article, seems to match what it’s saying).
One of the students at gun school this past weekend was from Sri Lanka, and still has family there. It’s a horrible situation, all the more so for being completely preventable.
Daily Ray of Sunshine
Good morning, Sloop!
I don’t know wether to laugh or cry, but it sure looks like the Twin Cities is lost to the crazies.
Can you name one big city that isn’t?
I feel for the people who have businesses there, though. It’s probably getting to be time to take the L and get the hell out.
Speaking of putting the Crazy in the TC….
Never apologize
Of course CAIR doesn’t think that the apology was enough. I’d challenge CAIR to come up with video of Lutherans from rural Minnesoda driving through downtown Mpls shooting fireworks at people. Until they can, I think it is fair to say that our new Somali neighbors better get their act together because that is who I saw in all those videos.
RACIALISM!
CAIR can eat a bag of dicks.
We all know what’s going on. A quick perusal through CrimeWatchMpls will turn up dozens of these fucking criminals, arrested and bounced right out again.
In the late ’80s early ’90s the courts ruled that Somali refugees who were arrested for various things in Minnesoda could not be deported back to Somalia because there was no government there to take custody of them.
As a result, unless they did something violent, the Somali refugees were released on probation over and over again. Our govt didn’t want the expense of jailing them. The thought was that once there was a govt in Somalia again, they’d be deported.
You can guess the results. Somalis learned that burglary was a lucrative trade. And when it was time to deport them all, the various NGO’s and dogooders came out of the woodwork to plead for “one more chance” because deportation was so mean.
My dad’s buddy (someone I grew up hunting and fishing with) was a probation officer down in St. Paul and would tell stories about how his caseload had changed dramatically because of all the property theft from the Somalis.
Once they could be deported, the Somali crime wave dropped precipitously. Amazing how consequences do that.
So obviously, records including mugshots of arrestees need to be limited so you can’t do that perusing. Problem solved.
Can you name one big city that isn’t?
Phoenix? DFW? Miami?
Not entirely sure about DFW and Miami, but I don’t hear this kind of crazy crap out of those cities.
Phoenix had one significant BLM riot. Streets were cleared. Arrests were made.
Tucson also had one BLM riot. They dragged UA students out of class in handcuffs after.
Boston has been surprisingly quiet.
One BLM-related march w/ some relatively minor property damage.
Homeless presence near the methadone clinic is growing, but that’s been an issue for a while.
Maybe I’m just missing it because I don’t cross the river enough…
“New Harvard/Harris poll: Huge super-majority of Americans favor 15-week abortion bans in states. Women more likely than men to favor such restrictions; men more likely to support no limitations. Just 10% of respondents agree with federal Dems’ 9-month-abortion radicalism:”
https://twitter.com/guypbenson/status/1546176817689776129
Looks like there are going to be 50 different laws regardless.
Men that support abortion, no matter what they claim, do not do that because they support women’s right to choose. They support it because it helps them get laid more at a reduced risk.
Bingo. This “men want to control women’s bodies” thing is BS. Many men at all economic levels love that get out of jail free card.
Here’s another thing – and I’m as pro-life as they come: What woman finds it attractive for a man to be pro-choice? Seriously. I don’t get it. If you’re the sort that believes in macroevolution, then that’s a wildly unnatural proposal. If you’re the sort that doesn’t, then it’s almost certainly wildly contrary to your core beliefs.
So, are there women who really, truly hear a man say he likes the idea of killing his own (and her) offspring, and thinking “that’s really attractive”? I know the real answer is that one has to be seriously depraved to think or like that – and wer are – but good grief it’s stupid, too.
They see it as respecting her bodily autonomy and ability to control her own future on her own timetable, not as killing a child. That’s how.
I was thinking something similar.
It’s almost become a virtue signal over and beyond the actual mechanics of the process. “Choice” is nice and good and probably means that he has the correct opinions on a lot of other issues, too.
Yeah, except, it is all lip service to get to tap that ass…
‘that ass’
One weird truck to avoid pregnancy…
Euphemism?
Weird auto correct.
Though I’m sure mobile abortion clinic is on the Democrats next spending bill.
Yeah I’m mostly just griping at people being irrational, since I really answered my own question. All the rationalizations are bullshit.
“If men got pregnant …”
The zealots on both fringes are going to be disappointed to find out how much of a minority they are.
That is a good thing though. Hopefully both sides will learn that the majority isn’t with them and their views and settle down. Not a lot of hope, but maybe?
My guess is that the majority of states will settle on legal abortion until some set time (15 weeks sounds reasonable).
^^^ this right here. No one who has an absolutely pure position either way is going to be happy, because the compromise is in the middle. No one is so “pro-life” that they would deny abortions in every single case, because in some cases that means letting the mother die from pregnancy complications.
My guess is that the majority of states will settle on legal abortion until some set time (15 weeks sounds reasonable).
Yup. Elective abortions until X weeks (personally, I’d set it at 20 weeks) with exceptions to allow “non-elective abortions” to save the life of the mother and likely also to prevent major physical harm. Perhaps also in cases of rape and incest in some states.
The trick, I learned last week, with counting weeks of gestation is that they start from the day of your last period, so its automatically a couple-three weeks too long. But everybody counts it that way, so . . . . Women on, or with a history of, birth control also can not have periods for months on end, which complicates things. Technically, using that methog, one of my staff was pregnant for nearly 15 months.
I still find it deliciously ironic that the bill that got Roe vs. Wade overturned is actually not radical at all, and falls in line with the majority.
Smack dab in the European consensus on abortion – and somehow that’s bad?
Finally a straightforward poll that pins down exactly where people are in the abortion timeline. So many of these polls tiptoe around that aspect of it.
TMITE Headline: Poll reveals majority of Americans favor legal abortions.
I did see that headline somewhere in exactly this kind of situation.
The Blackhawks are completely blowing up their roster. I hear they might even trade Kane. But the good news is, if you are in the Chicago area and can play hockey, you might be able to get a roster spot.
So you’re going in for tryouts, right?

Yes! Someone turned them in after only a few days.

Pet owner pushing for trainers to be licensed after dogs allegedly injured
So we need training and credentials for dog trainers and hair braiders. Can anyone point out the requirements to become an official expert in White Supremacy or Hate Speech?
The media is always quoting experts on these matters, but I can never quite figure out how they can claim the title “expert”.
Those that can’t outsmart a fish are quick to tell me who to vote for.
The ones who are smarter than a fish, just vote for you by mail. Much easier than trying to persuade you.
Well, anyone who has ever been fishing can tell you that fish are smarter than they look. At least, that’s been my experience.
I would like to commend the gentlemanly behavior of the men here. Yesterday (at the very end of the Morning lynx):
Lesser places would have been filled with misogynistic comments like “do the carpets have to match the drapes?”, but not here. Nope we took the high road.

I’ll admit, I was pondering a terrible reply when I realized it was a dead thread.
All my replies are terrible.
I’ve accepted it.
Something something paper trail
Internal Amazon documents, previously unreported, reveal how routinely the company measured workers’ performance in minute detail and admonished those who fell even slightly short of expectations – sometimes before their shift ended. In a single year ending April 2020, the company issued more than 13,000 so-called “disciplines” in Bryson’s warehouse alone, one lawyer for Amazon said in court papers. The facility had about 5,300 employees around that time.
How much of that is directly related to labor law and and “unfair termination” lawsuits?
Working at an Amazon warehouse would suck. But bitching because they want their employees to fill orders quickly and accurately seems a bit absurd.
So I googled this nitrogen thing and got this
Impacts of nitrogen emissions on ecosystems and human health: A mini review
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2468584421000210
Considering that the economic benefits of improved air and water quality outweigh the costs of reductions measures, there is ample reason to reduce N emissions, both from agriculture and from traffic and industrial sources. – I think this claim depends a lot on how you calculate
Another relevant N form is nitrous oxide, N2O, emitted primarily in response to enhanced mineral and organic fertilizer use [2]. This is the third most important long-lived greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide and methane [3], thus affecting human health indirectly by climate change. – ehm no
Emission of N compounds to air is also responsible for an increased production of tropospheric ozone, O3, and fine particle pollution – but is this relevant in dense cities or also in farmland? does farmland concentration reach hazardous levels? does it drift in the cities, or does it disperse? I though this particulate thing was mostly relevant in cities.
It’s all a load of manure.
Human health due to: (i) direct impacts of elevated NO2 concentrations, (ii) NOx-induced O3 formation, (iii) NH3 and NOx-induced formation of particulate matter (PM), (iv) pollution of groundwater and drinking water due to NO3-leaching and (v) N2O-induced depletion of the stratospheric ozone layer.
1 2 3 are not that relevant rural. 4 I dunno but nothing worked for ozone holes till now. But I can no longer trust any of the processes behind these decisions.
Oh, I had a random chemistry question.
Do sulphur dioxide and methane react with each other?
Like this?
550-750C
Okay, so if it gets hot (and possibly with some catalysts required). Thank you.
Hmm… *Takes notes*
Sulphur chemistry in relation to water is kinda co-dependent. sulphur dioxide turns into sulphuric acid turns into sulphur trioxide turns into sulphuric acid… make up your mind!

Who decides who is the best bartender? And can we see how many men, lesbians, and lesbians trapped in a man’s body, were on that jury board so that “the best” ended being up a women?
I thought they mainly had to juggle full, open bottles and pour from five feet above the glass without spilling a drop, all while nodding sympathetically as you bitch about your no-good Spawn of Satan of an ex.
Or have an Economics degree from Boston U.
If she had been a good bartender she wouldn’t have run for Congress.
Uffda. Think of having to listen to her prattle on and on as she served drinks.
“five feet above the glass”
Tom Cruise isn’t that tall.
Without going to the article, there are several competitions. There’s even the United States Bartenders Guild. High end bartenders are in demand.

I already have a couple bartenders on the payroll. They might not be able to have a séance to make a cocktail, but they are wonderful at bringing me another glass of beer just as I am finishing one. Don’t even have to ask.
I was talking with a customer yesterday about how she recently helped a friend out to track their stolen car with the Apple Airtag tracker. The stolen car went on a little tour and then ended up in parked in Oakland. They found it was in one of these officially sanctioned homeless encampments (very possibly the one that burned). They called OPD and they sent over several officers to go in. The cops told them that they find tons of stolen vehicles in these camps, but interestingly enough, they are not allowed to enter them unless they have probable cause. When they went in they recovered the stolen car along with six other stolen vehicles and a motorcycle. I found it interesting that even though these places are stolen car chop shop emporiums that there is no check of vehicle registrations when people enter or that there aren’t periodic checks on license plates to see if any are stolen. I mean these people are getting a free place to park, shower and use the bathroom, you’d think that it wouldn’t be too much to ask to not make it a stolen vehicle fiesta.
The times are a-changin’ – my brother in law is a woodworker who rents a space in a rather skeevy party of town.
Lately some squatters moved into part of the building. The owner called the police. But… instead of the squatters being evicted, the owner got a visit from a social worker telling him all about homelessness. And some notes were left for the squatters to please stop dealing drugs.
Indeed LH. Even here in renter’s rights paradise those squatters would have been booted, although I have seen squatters get paid off to leave, but that was in cases where they were smart enough to draw up a fake rental contract and pretend to be rightful renters.
In thinking more about the Oakland homeless car navigation center, I would suppose that even though it is city taxpayer money funding that place that there is some non-profit “renting” the lot and that they don’t allow police onto the lot unless they call them for some disturbance. So you end up with a situation where taxpayers are basically paying for a place to hide stolen cars and car parts (among other entrepreneurial activity).
Since squatters are now a protected species, is the response also ‘Shoot, Shovel, and Shut up’?
Never saw that coming
A 15-year-old boy has been charged with murder stemming from the fatal stabbing of a 14-year-old boy on a New York City subway platform, authorities said.
The teen suspect, whose name was not released because he is charged as a minor, is also charged with criminal possession of a weapon, according to the New York Police Department.
——-
A preliminary investigation found that a fight or dispute between the suspect and victim began outside and spilled into the West 137th St. station, where investigators believe Reyes was stabbed on the subway platform, police said.
It was not immediately clear what the fatal fight was about.
First reports made it sound as if the kid who was killed was just minding his own business, waiting for the train, when suddenly, out of nowhere…
Well with the crazies on the platform being randomly knifed by a stranger is also completely possible.
Surprise
Monkeypox has been a developing problem for decades and the current global outbreak was avoidable, but the looming threat was largely ignored, according to a leading expert on the virus.
Dr. Anne Rimoin is a UCLA epidemiology professor and has spent the last two decades in the Democratic Republic of Congo working on monkeypox.
She said it was only when the virus spread beyond rural Africa that it sparked a global response.
“This virus has been spreading in marginalized and vulnerable populations [in Africa] for decades, and we’ve done nothing about it,” Rimoin said. “We have known that monkeypox is a potential problem for decades.”
There are now confirmed cases in Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa, the Middle East and South America. The Centers for Disease Control says there are more than 750 monkeypox cases in the U.S. — across almost every state — but Rimoin said this was certainly an undercount because there was not enough testing available.
If only we had listened to her pleas for more money. Now we’re all gonna die.
Re the video of the toddler hoodlum:
The Kansas City school district pays A LOT of money for teachers AND they have dropped their requirements for high school subjects to a bachelors in that subject as long as you promise to go to school to get your teaching cert, AND they will pay for it. They still can’t get any takers.
Wonder how many potential applicants aren’t put off by the shitty kids, but by the thought of having to join the union and sit through meetings with other teachers.
Pretty sure it’s the shitty kids. That’s where my thinking stopped and went no further. Who wants to throw years of your life, blood, sweta, and tears down the drain?
But… instead of the squatters being evicted, the owner got a visit from a social worker telling him all about homelessness.
Well, let them come live at your house, you sanctimonious cunt.
Roughly a decade ago I was in Washington DC for an IT conference. On the bus ride to the Space/Air museum I saw tents on the sidewalk, often stretched between two benches. I thought to myself that Grand Rapids – where I live – would crack down on this type of encampment. And, in the past, the police here did dismantle an entire “village” of homeless people that setup shop near the river.
These days, however, the powers-that-be seem to be intent in driving businesses and people away from the city centers. EF, when she worked downtown, had to run a gauntlet of panhandlers. Her office “adopted” one of the worst offenders, paying him weekly hush money if he would just leave them alone.
Sooner or later there is going to be backlash on all this horseshit, and I can see things getting really ugly in our major cities.
Reference….
Used to be. The turning point I saw was OWS and how those encampments were allowed to fester for months. Once those turned into visible homeless sites, the genie was out of the bottle. Then the 9th Circus, with the connivance of the City of Boise, started undermining illegal camping laws for their states. And finally that hateful dyke Kotex went after any city that dared to try to prevent camping under the 9th Circus’ idiotic ruling, instead of funneling buckets of money to homeless activists.
I watched the original Occupy Wall Street from my office across the street and now I don’t even remember what the hell they were agitating for or against.
I will note, however, that it never turned into a homeless camp once the owners ran out of patience and kicked everyone out – because that park is privately owned.
I do remember the countless Reason articles about OWS … bleh.
OWS didn’t have an agenda at first. They had meetings to decide why they were occupying. I remember that part well.
I went to a conference in Austin not long after they stopped enforcing any vagrancy laws. Took along the wife and we stayed near the famous street with all the honkytonks.
She was not happy with the aggressive pan handling and general filth there. I heard from several other women at the conference about how upset they were at being accosted by bums near the hotel/conference center.
Just imagine the squawking which would arise if Amazon paid their warehouse workers piecework rates.
“No fair! Whycome him make so much more than me?”
The Amazon warehouse south of Minneapolis employs a ton of our new immigrants. The vast majority of them seem to be very grateful for the chance to make $20+/hr despite having no employment history and a limited grasp of English.
There is a minority there though, who are lionized by Omar and her buddies who regularly promise the press that there will be a giant strike by the aggrieved workers who are tired of being exploited. Then when the time comes maybe 10-15 complainers will parade around. Omar and the other agitators then claim that there would have been more – way more – except that Amazon scared all the rest of them.
The press goes along with the nonsense every single time. They never bother to talk to the rest of the workers.
I used to work at a Walmart warehouse and they kinda did this. They set a minimum production goal. Anything you did higher than that minimum was paid out as extra percentage on your wage. So if you were at 125% of the minimum, your wage was multiplied by 1.25.
Life with a kitten is, as always, chaotic.
Running full speed, knocking over potted plants, clawing the sofa, tearing up toilet paper, etc etc… and then, like a hyperactive toddler, it’s nap time.
Aw! 😻
Adorable fluff.

SQUEEEE! So cute!
For maximum entertainment value, try two full-grown toms (neutered, natch) of wildly disparate sizes – if you can find two who generally get along – who love to tussle and chase each other when it’s Batshit Kitty Time (i.e., the humans’ bedtime.)
I have too many photos of this cat. Luckily she is a good napper and quality lap cat – when the kitten switch is turned to sleep-mode.

I still feel oddly guilty for getting this little Ragdoll. She’s been a joy but I still miss my old cat. 🙁
Getting a gallery of other stuff, and I can’t find the kitty in it. 😿
And please don’t feel guilty. Your old cat wouldn’t have wanted you to be catless.
Imgur is always weird – only free image uploader around that I know about ::shrugs::
I had one just like that. We got her and her brother, who was an orange tabby. They were from the same litter (mom was the orange one).
She wasn’t very good around adults, but she was infinitely patient with children. They could pull her tail all day and she’d just lay there and never raise a paw.
The cat that my son brought home and left with us is hitting one year old and settling down a bit. I’ve never owned such a vocal cat. He will go off on a howling tirade anytime he encounters a closed door. Then when you open it, he just looks in and wanders off.
Every morning at reveille he comes into the bedroom for 10 minutes of scratching and petting. The rest of the day he flees from me like I am a 5 star kitten kicker.
I was surprised how much I liked this: Yo-Yo Ma Plays Ennio Morricone

No two year old thinks that. Not of their own accord. And the thought would leave if not reintroduced constantly by adults.
When my sister was little she’d often ask, “when will I be a boy”? She grew out of it. She’s now married and has a kid in college. That though no longer crossers her mind. Today they’d have responded with hormones and surgery.
This is pretty good.
