My actual childhood home.
Mom is turning 90, so I’m heading to Baltimore to attend the party. Maybe I’ll find a cougar in her assisted living facility… and sadly, there’s no Publix roasted chicken there. Ah well.
Anyway, she’s not the only one with a birthday, we also have a guy who may have scooped Einstein; a famous sledder; the guy who figured out why some molecular vibrations looked a bit funny; the greatest composer in American history; a guy whom I celebrate on my birthday; a guy whom we celebrate on Riven’s birthday; the most fun shortstop I ever watched; a guy who challenged Social Security for crazy Ponzi schemes; a guy who was famous for driving around in circles; a guy who, at his essence, was about nothing; the very worst Star Trek captain; and one of my favorite masturbatory fantasies.
While I clean up, let’s Link.
Congratulations, you invented a lesbian bar. Expect to be burned out within the next month or two.

Why would having a shenis make you any less of a woman?
Have you been to Portland? ‘Cause that is peak Portland.
She looks good for 43.
You need to get out more.
That sounds like a slanted opinion.
Yellow journalism!
Muddling through the details in the article makes this sound like more of an activist statement than a business.
They took in a million bucks the first year, but seemingly laid out about the same amount. They say it was “profitable” but also list a couple hundred grand in investments, loans and outright donations to the cause to “keep the doors open” for a total of 6 months.
It was clear as mud, but it didn’t sound like this thing is actually profitable, despite support from big name women’s sports stars making appearances and streaming services providing extra content. It sounded more like they meant “cash flow positive” over some period of months.
I dunno. I would prefer a world where this sort of place exists. But despite this rah-rah article, it doesn’t sound like there is actually a market, beyond a sports-themed lesbian bar. (The article cites being lesbian as important a couple of times)
👆👆👆
Your average journalist can’t distinguish between a cash flow analysis, an income statement, and a balance sheet. Hell, Jim Cramer doesn’t even seem capable of it.
Cramer’s great. Just do the opposite of whatever he says.
Yes, the Opposite Kramer for the micro and Opposite Krugman for the macro strategies can make you quite a bit of money.
Proof: watch the entrepreneurs looking for investments on “Shark Tank.”
Happy Birthday to your mom, Old Man!

A law against the dangling car air fresheners?? I smell the influence of Big Febreze!
I guess panties are no longer in fashion? While not an air freshener per se…
Not in fashion after wife says “Hey, these aren’t my size!”

Nachman of Breslov (Hebrew: רַבִּי נַחְמָן מִבְּרֶסְלֶב Rabbī Naḥmān mīBreslev), also known as Reb Nachman of Bratslav, Reb Nachman Breslover (Yiddish: רבי נחמן ברעסלאווער Rebe Nakhmen Breslover), and Nachman from Uman (April 4, 1772 – October 16, 1810), was the founder of the Breslov Hasidic movement. He was particularly known for his creative parables,[1] which drew on Eastern European folktales to create mystical and mythic fantasies and which influenced 20th century literature, probably including the works of Franz Kafka.[2]

And that’s not even taking in the fact that energy grids have to be run continuously. Yes, they do go through ups & down in demand, but if the wind stops blowing, or the sun stops glowing, the grid needs backup energy immediately. That’s usually natgas, since it’s really the only source of energy that can be brought up with very short lead times.
Go tell Hochul to take a flying leap, and wear your Hank Hill t-shirts with pride.
Here’s a big pile of derp from The Nation. Very optimistic, but the author expects support and not pushback on building out 75,000 miles of new high transmission lines. Good luck with the NIMBYs on that. Oh, and the BIG NEW green energy source isn’t any of the existing ones on his charts – so, magic?
Seriously.
I thought we all agreed: unicorn farts.
I wonder if all the high rise luxury condos in NYC have installed turbines yet? Why should the hicks on Oswego and Hammondsport have all the infrastructure?
The problem here is that all the mans-on-the-street believe the “climate crisis” hogwash that they’ve been propagandized with for decades. Nobody can be bothered to question anything and until that happens, it’s down the toilet we go.
Don’t worry, it’s self-correcting.
The correction is a bit of a bitch though.

Albany Democrats reached an agreement to effectively ban gas stoves in new buildings in the future by blocking methane hook-ups to new, small, buildings beginning in 2025 and larger structures by 2028.
Propane stoves are ok, I guess. As for heating, I don’t see any ban on oil heat, did they already ban that? When people start freezing to death, maybe coal will make a comeback.
Yep, first winter where a significant number of people freeze to death and anyone prattling on about global warming (change the name all you want, it’s still the same shit) will end up on the real life version of Naked and Afraid.
I actually thought that there was a good chance of that (Russian gas pipeline off, very high energy prices, etc.) this past winter, for Europe, but it turned out quite mild.
They got lucky this time. Make the system more fragile/vulnerable and keep pushing your luck.
A coworker of mine takes the wood pallets home for heat.
I liked that the author included a bit about the governor keeping her gas stoves.

Happy b-day to yo mama, Old Man. 90 is a nice round number.
Happy birthday to your Old Mom. Maybe you could take her to see your favorite movie?
Happy b-day to the Mom, OMWC.
Speaking of post-apocalyptic Hellscapes-
I watched “Book of Eli” ast night. It was the first time I had ever seen it from beginning to end. itwas pretty good.
On the whole, nicer than Baltimore.
Denzel as a blind man kicking ass. One of my favorites.
Yeah, but my favorite for him doing that is still Man on Fire. Such a good supporting cast.
I watched Runaway Train on Tubi.
I love that movie.
A bar with a bunch of women focused on balls? seems problematic.
Problematic or intriguing?
Of all Cuomo’s crimes against the people of New York, Hochul is the worst. They should both swing.
She was billed as a “moderate” from a more “sensible” part of the state. Back in the before times when one could almost plausibly claim that not every single Democrat was fully on-board with the craziest radicals among them.

I’m somewhat surprised ABC even agreed to interview him. I suppose he presents enough of a threat that they felt they had to do something.
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/watch-abc-news-admits-it-censored-rfk-jr-interview-false-claims-about-covid-19
The rather explicit assumption is that a news network should have opinions on vaccine efficacy or anything else that they adhere to in censoring others. The corporate media has completely dropped the mask of impartiality. They’re not even bothering to hide it or explain it away now.
I’m surprised he agreed to let them interview him. He should know better than that.
Any coverage I guess…
But ABC fucked him over twenty years ago on vaccines. They deep-sixed an expose he put together with Jake Tapper. That was the beginning of their feud. They despise each other now.
I wonder whether he suspected they were going to do something like that, and went along to allow them the chance to pull the mask off and show their true colors. Not sure if he’s that smart/savvy.
Monstrous bigot
On Friday, Gianforte signed the bill banning gender-affirming health care for minors – the first to reach his desk. Kaitlin Price, a spokesperson for the governor, said Gianforte is “committed to protecting Montana children from invasive medical treatments that can permanently alter their healthy, developing bodies.”
What ever happened to all that stuff about “developing brains” anyway? Where are the people who used to run around saying children had to be protected from their own ill considered irreversible choices?
They’re still quite active and they’re the same people pushing hormones and surgeries.
When will this stupidity be over with?
The meeting between the governor and his son comes at a time when more than 400 anti-LGBTQ bills have been introduced in state legislatures across the US – more than twice the number introduced all of last year, according to American Civil Liberties Union data as of April 3.
If “stay away from kids” is considered an attack on a community, maybe that community deserves to be attacked.
Maybe anti-T, but the T are actively against the L and G parts of the alphabet soup.
That’s impressively mendacious.
I still don’t know WTF the Q is, but the Ts being deliberately anti L, G, and maybe B if one believes in its existence kind of gives the game away.
I prefer anti-child mutilation, much closer to the truth.
Good, because my state just allowed the state to cut off a kids dick their dick and if the parents protest, they can take the kid.
In a statement on Twitter, Montana House Minority Leader Kim Abbott, a Democrat, said the measure “eliminates the rights of health care providers, the rights of parents, and the rights of children.”
“I’m deeply dissapointed in the Governor for signing this bill into law and prioritizing poisonous political rhetoric over Montanans’ fundamental liberties,” Abbott said.
The Human Rights Campaign condemned the governor for signing the bill that would “make it effectively impossible for health care practitioners to provide age-appropriate, best practice, gender affirming care to transgender youth.”
“It would also forbid state employees who work with minors from ‘promoting’ treatment for gender dysphoria, chilling the ability of educators, public health workers, child care workers, and employees of state medical facilities to be able to do their job,” the advocacy group said.
Montana Human Rights Network described the law as “discriminatory” and said it “contradicts established best medical practices and prevents transgender youth from getting the safe, lifesaving care they need to live as their authentic selves.”
“The Governor’s decision to sign this bill, despite overwhelming testimony from transgender Montanans, parents, and medical professionals is deeply disturbing,” the statement continued.
What the world needs most is more overwrought inflammatory bullshit.
I do enjoy Democrats defending the “rights of health care providers”. Yes, won’t someone think of poor Aetna?
I think “Big Oil” might be the only corporations that are still disdained by the rapidly fascisizing left.
Even Europe is starting to back off from the fraudulent nonsense about “established best medical practices”. I’m starting to think that American politics is broken beyond repair.
OMWC was raised in a pothole.
Luxury!
That dangling air freshener is just going to be replaced by “didn’t come to a complete stop”, “failed to maintain signal till lane change was complete” or “speeding”. These are three bullshit reasons I’ve been stopped even when not the case. When they want to stop you, they’re going to stop you.
Yes and no. Those have always been there.
The difference is that the air freshener thing is explicitly aimed at black people. I didn’t actually know that there was such a statute saying that one could get pulled over for an air freshener, but the article very much seems to say so. And (at least in my decades of observation), black folks are far, far more likely to use those things than white people. The pols and cops can mouth any “safety” rationalization they want to, but it’s BS. Having a “we can pull you over because of an air freshener” thing is overtly aimed at giving them an at-a-glance reason to harass blacks.
ISTR from my youth that New York has had such a law for decades.
But DrOtto is right – they don’t need a new law in order to pull you over if that’s their goal.
I’m not aware of such a law but in my experience a large number of hired car service drivers use them here in NYC and few of them are black. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I have a pine tree air freshener handing from my mirror and have never been stopped for it, but I’m a honky so I got that going for me.
I do bc it’s cheaper than the Glade dash ones I used to buy.
I should start a company to sell LED tail-lights with a one inch thick lucite cover. Think of the lives it would save.
Off topic, have any of you been able to install Brave on a new MS computer? I try to get around it, but it just keeps telling me it’s not from the MS Store.
I know, assholes, that’s part of the reason I want to use it.
I put an external hard drive in the USB port of my MS computer, put Linux Mint on the hard drive, and put Brave on that.
I’m assuming “new” = “Windows 11. I asked my husband, but he doesn’t know other than “Ms protecting their market share.” Also, my web-based current MT gig forces the use of Edge. So all that to say is, I think that’s a Windows 11 problem, and so I googled how to install Brave on Win11 and there were loads of vids.
Also, Win11 doesn’t let you dock your taskbar on the right, as one does. I just don’t know what I’m going to do when I get there. I hope ClassicShell can fix that.
Go to Settings – Apps – Advanced App Settings and make sure the option “Choose where to get apps” is set to “Anywhere”.
If you have no reasons to use Microsoft products at all, switch that PC to Linux. Otherwise the suggestion to make an SD PC with Linux Mint and Brave is a good one. Also Pat’s recent articles on Brave vs Firefox indicate Firefox may actually be the better choice.
I am a Vivaldi fan when it comes to browsing. Mostly because of the ability to have side tabs, but also because they’ve stripped all the tracking code out of Chromium.
Firefox is a piece of bloated shit.
I like Brave because it’s light.

A February Siena College poll found just 39% of registered voters support banning all fossil-fuel burning equipment for new family homes by 2025 and all construction by 2029.

Business has been good, despite the niche business model and record inflation sending food and beverage prices soaring. The Sports Bra brought in $944,000 in revenue in the eight months it was open in 2022, according to documents reviewed by CNBC Make It.
Hmm….. I did a little math. A local pub used to have a club night on Fridays and Saturdays. The manager once told me how much revenue they averaged for those nights at its height. At its height, those two nights, and just the club night, would pull in about a third of that in revenue over eight months. That’s just the two club nights a week. I don’t know how much the pub pulled in for lunch, dinner, or any other time it was open.
I guess maybe in this post Lil Rona Panic era (the pub I mentioned dropped its club night because after the Panic the night brought in nowhere near the same amount of money), that amount of revenue over that amount of time is good.
Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) said he believes the White House staff “overprotects” President Biden, arguing that him giving more press conferences and participating in primary debates for 2024 would actually help him.
The prospect of having Biden giving more press conferences and debates makes me want to change my mind on popcorn.

Gorgeous day here – I think a hike is in order.
What are y’all up to?
How are thet doing on common sense rock control?
Colorado’s governor signed four gun control bills Friday, following the lead of other states struggling to confront a nationwide surge in violent crime and mass shootings, despite a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling that expanded Second Amendment rights.
Before the ink was even dry on Gov. Jared Polis’ signature, gun rights groups sued to reverse two of the measures: raising the buying age for any gun from 18 to 21, and establishing a three-day waiting period between the purchase and receipt of a gun. The courts are already weighing lawsuits over such restrictions in other states.
The new laws, which Democrats pushed through despite late-night filibusters from Republicans, are aimed at quelling rising suicides and youth violence, preventing mass shootings, and opening avenues for gun violence victims to sue the long-protected firearm industry. They were enacted just five months after a mass shooting at an LGBTQ club in Colorado Springs.
Never let a tragedy go to waste.
Impossible. Reason told me that Polis is a libertarian.
I heard Polis will be replacing Ted Galen Carpenter at Cato.
LOL
And Welch, who’s been a big Polis booster, just posted a piece at TOS that trashes RFK for things he said 10 years ago. I’m not a big RFK fan, but Welch managed to get through the whole piece without even a hat tip to Kennedy’s critique of crony capitalism.
Welch is a twat.
RFK Jr ain’t the second coming of Christ, but FFS, he doesn’t want WW3 or to forcibly inject your children.
That, and the Deep State hates him.
The fact that everyone in the Cathedral hates RFK2 gives him automatic good guy status in my book.
RFK is right on Covid and wrong on a bunch of other stuff and that’s OK in my book. At least he’s upfront and honest and principled even if I disagree with him more often than not.
That’s the way I see a lot of these things. Anti-statists are in the minority in the US. It’s unlikely we’ll see a politician any time soon that reflects even 50% of our views. So you align with one person on one issue but not everything else, e.g.: “look, I disagree with Rep. Kennedy on most things. But he’s absolutely right on opposing vaccine mandates and demanding an enquiry into connections between the public health establishment and the drug companies.”
How hard would it be for TOS to write something like that?
Note: the thing that RFK said that Welch attacked him for was suggesting that the Kochs (among others) should be locked up for their attitude toward climate change. (i) terrible statement; (ii) I guess Welch felt the need to defend the hand that feeds him.
How hard would it be for TOS to write something like that?

Polis also signed a bill banning the provision of drugs to women who take the abortion pill but have second thoughts.
Fucking monstrous.
In their speeches about rolling back legal protections for gun manufacturers, lawmakers looked often to Sandy and Lonnie Phillips, whose daughter, Jessica Ghawi, was slain in the 2012 Aurora theater shooting. The parents tried to sue the companies that had sold the shooter ammunition and tear gas but were unsuccessful. Ultimately, the couple ended up owing more than $200,000 in defense attorney fees and had to file for bankruptcy.
They were encouraged by Moms Demand Action and the other anti-gun groups to sue, and then were just abandoned when they lost their bullshit case. They’re apparently too dumb to know who their real enemies are.
I remember that. CWABOA.
Hung them out to dry, after all the BS that got spread around.
We’re not going to ban your gas stove but if we were it’d be a good thing. Also, we’re banning your gas stove…these people are getting on my last nerve.
“But it’s only new construction!”
Narrator: NYC has already put a ban in place on existing construction.
“rosaries, which many people use to bless their car”
Or indicate membership in which latin gang…
“”They’re pulling them over, not because they’re concerned the dangling air freshener is going to cause an accident. They’re pulling them over because they believe they’re going to find guns or drugs in their car,” Ford said.”
Both of which should be legal in the first place.
And it goes without saying that the “rosaries and handicapped tags” thing is window-dressing applied to the original statutes to make them seem like they’re not actually targeting blacks. I guaran-dam-tee that if somebody pulled the actual stats from all the intervening years, they’d find that the number of folks pulled over under those pretexts would approach (or actually be) zero.
Meanwhile, back at Fantasyland
California air regulators have adopted two landmark rules setting aggressive zero-emission requirements for fleets of heavier vehicles and locomotives, a move expected to drastically cut pollution near ports and rail yards and alter the way goods move through the American West.
In a marathon two-day hearing, perhaps the most consequential session of the year, the California Air Resources Board voted to set an age limit to retire old locomotives while establishing a regulatory framework that requires operators to set aside money to upgrade to cleaner engines and eventually zero-emission powertrains.
In a second vote Friday, the board enacted a rule that will accelerate the adoption of zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty vehicles in all public and many large private fleets — a regulation that will necessitate more than 1 million new electric freight trucks, school buses and delivery vehicles over the next 25 years. Arguably the most notable provision will require all cargo trucks entering California seaports and rail yards to be zero-emission by 2035.
“a move expected to drastically
cut pollution near ports and rail yardsincrease costs and alter the way goods move through the American West.”They only want what’s best for us. We should go back to moving freight by mule train.
California is going to be the completely deindustrialized land of the uberrich and the desperately poor. Steer clear middle class, I don’t think they like you.
California, the place that will lecture you about inequality while increasing it themselves!
This hits all of us. A lot of freight moves from the coast to other states.
Yes, all the stuff we buy from asia.
There’s a lot of knock on effects. And it’s intentional.
And if Goodamn Washington would quit being California’s retarded little brother, we could eat their fucking lunch.

Hey, a Bloom County meme. Nice.
I see OMWC grew up in a tony neighborhood. I grew up a block from here.
The really cool part about this, unmentioned in the article, is that access to the platform is elevator-only because the station is buried deep underground. I don’t think I’d want to get on that elevator now, as I frequently did as a seven-year-old.
Pretty station. What a shame.

Not bad. I left as she jumped on. Many martinis for me.
The votes demonstrate how California, a titan of clean air policy, has become increasingly ambitious in its quest to curtail pollution from the transportation sector and eventually zero out the state’s carbon footprint. In the last year alone, California has also banned the sale of new gasoline cars by 2035 and set requirements that an increasing percentage of annual truck sales be zero-emission vehicles.
In turn, California’s national influence has grown under a presidential administration that seems to welcome its pacesetting environmental agenda, and a collection of states have chosen to adhere to these more stringent standards rather than those at the federal level.
Minority rule is only bad when we say it is.
They’re just thrilled about pricing out the poors, aren’t they? So progressive!
I wonder how many men wander into THE SPORTS BRA thinking it’s something else and end up having a beer or two anyway.
As I said yesterday, I’d go in there to watch women’s rugby or World Cup ski racing.
I can do without golf,no matter who’s playing.
Isn’t there a Q-worthy golfer playing now? I’ve seen her in a few ads and wouldn’t mind puttering around with her for a few holes.
Just think of all the jobs created when giant shipping facilities sprout up on the California border to transfer freight from California-only trucks.
The locomotives rule, however, will be the largest reduction in air pollution from state regulators this year, eliminating 7,400 tons of fine particulate matter and 386,300 tons of smog-forming nitrogen oxides by 2050.
“This locomotive rule is going to have one of the biggest impacts I’d say out of any of California’s clean air regulations,” said Yasmine Agelidis, senior associate attorney for the environmental nonprofit Earthjustice. “Locomotives have not been regulated by any entity at the state, federal or local level in the past 15 years, so railroads have been allowed to pollute recklessly.”
Ban locomotives. They serve no useful purpose.
If only their farts didn’t smell so sweet, we could ban them too.
I remember when genital mutilation of children was seen as the barbaric practice of third world cultures.
