That’s all I got for today. I’ll leave you with a song and move along with my day.
Yeah, he doesn’t need the competition… he can funnel plenty of intelligence back to the CCP, no need to bring in the Cubans!
The Chinese hedge their bets.
It’s easier to ship the info to Cuba than it is all across the Pacific to his masters.
I think Biden is right. Why build a special facility when you can just fly balloons at will across the country?
Neither he nor his family can make money off it, so no, he will not allow this.
Needs the “I Did That!” Biden picture beside it.
Bidens bribed $5 mill each for getting a prosecutor fired – which Joe bragged about in public. So… they indict Trump for doing something perfectly legal for a President.
The Banana Republic of America.
Trump is a giant asshole. But he represents the people that know the machine is corrupt and evil and want it burned down. That makes him and all those people terrorists for daring to challenge the people in power and their hold on it. Don’t these fucking serfs know their place and that their betters should never be fucked with?
A feature / bug of banana republics are the somewhat frequent coups and peasant revolts. We had a coup 3 years ago, the peasants may get revolting.
Borderline OT in general — but given it was close to a peasant revolt up north… bit of an anti-black pill this morning if accurate. I really thought the Great Northern Twink came off not just scot-free but empowered after the crackdowns… this implies otherwise. Any of us living in America’s Hat have a perspective on the article’s accuracy / arguments?
But he represents the people that know the machine is corrupt and evil and want it burned down.
Nope. He represents a lot more people that still believe in the system than those who want it burned down.
You keep telling yourself that.
Either way, he represents the FUCK YOU vote against everything happening right now. He wins easily in a clean election (for the third time).
People want to believe the system can be reformed, not burned down. We’re as out of the majority opinion on that as we are on most things.
I really didn’t think they’d do it. How sick and deluded people are to excuse this action. What do they think happens next? We just return to some happy normal?
The whole Biden-era has been unhinged.
I think after 2020’s fortifications, and then 2022 showed them there were no consequences and they could ramp it up… they seriously don’t believe they’ll ever be out of power again (not as the Uniparty in any event). So they don’t have to pretend any more… they may still mouth platitudes from time to time, but what the people want is irrelevant… they’ll determine what the people should get (and give it to them good and hard).
This. They’re feeling their oats. They will grab every scrap of power they can get and no matter the pushback, if any, they will end up with more power than before the country went insane in 2020.
Their numbers are showing them that the orange asshole will win the election unless they so blatantly cheat that there will be no defending their “fortification” as everyone will see the election was stolen. The fucking serfs are angry. And since the machine can’t yet just tell the serfs to fuck off and there will be no vote without that confirming it is corrupt, they have gone with their option of just taking the guy out. I am betting that if their criminally evil attempts to use the law to take that orange guy out so he can’t be in the next election fails, they will just kill him. They will not just roll over and risk having this guy lock their asses up as Comey already told us.
Biden is leading Trump in every poll. Orange has no route to victory, barring something momentous that is yet unimaginable.
so why not just let him run? why is this the safer option?
there’s no reason they had to prosecute this. if anyone thinks otherwise just ask would they indict trump if he weren’t running?
Of course they would.
I have a lot to learn. I’m also fundamentally incapable of seeing trump as the threat. all I see is corruption.
Yes. If you’ve ever observed the left’s feelings about Trump, you’d see why.
The Trump indictment is a two pronged attack. The first purpose/reason is to take Trump out. The second is to send the message to his voters that the machine will not let them challenge it and will not reform to serve the people ever again.
He went against the party, he must be punished. Orange. Man. Bad.
So he gets the nom over a candidate that might win in hte general?
What polls are you seeing that in? I checked the RCP average and it’s Trump +1.8
https://www.realclearpolitics.com/
I dunno. Just random blurbs I’ve read.
Trump +1.8 may be a new development because I swear I saw Biden ahead before.
Not sure we should trust polls, not to say they’re definitely wrong but you can only gleen so much from them.
I’m going to disagree on that — I think OMB is the one thing that will motivate their base (and the Never Trumpers / warhawk neocons) enough to give them cover for fortification like 2020. Which is why they really, really want him to win the GOP primary.
The indictments serve the purpose of riling up the GOP base behind OMB to make that happen and disrupting his campaign (note all the trials are after the primaries are determined but before the election… they want him as the nominee, but tied up enough to not be able to do rallies — and they’ll sweep in with “enthusiasm for not Trump” to cover their fortification).
I don’t think they’re scared of him winning an election at all.
the republicans really hope trump become ineligible. but I don’t think there’s any energy in the uniparty gop. with trump you lose with vigor. you lose trump, you just lose.
I may be completely wrong — but I think DeSantis could pull it off. He has the culture war / results from Florida to give him credibility with the base and the mind share. I think there’s a lot that aren’t considering him because they’re still revved up for Trump — but if he stepped down, they’d pivot over and he could fire them up.
I don’t think Trump’s ego would let him do that, mind you… so I fully expect barring Desantis pulling off one heck of a primary season, we’ll get Trump as the nominee and the Donkeys will happily crush him in the states where it matters (especially since Maricopa will lock him out of AZ, and I think WI and MI have effectively flipped blue). Thinking about the EC map is black-pilling me again… so I’m going to stop ruminating on it now. grumble grumble stupid fucks rewarding dictatorial overreach grumble grumble
It’s the same strategy as they used against his Twitter supporters prior to 2020. Remember how much fewer memes there were?
“there will be no defending their “fortification” as everyone will see the election was stolen”
Well, half the country doesn’t care. At all. If the Dems win by cheating.
Of the remaining half, a sizable plurality (majority?) won’t say anything, out of apathy, muh norms, fear after J6, etc.
There are no legal mechanisms to contest or fix a stolen election. The only way to change the outcome is a coup. And that just ain’t happening.
It almost did after Trump won in 2016.
Principals, not principles.
We aren’t a banana republic, we’re a retarded republic. Please get it straight.
Bigot!
You can’t say that during Pride month.
I heard someone recently ask “When do we get to Wrath, Envy, Lust, Gluttony, or Sloth months”? He was not happy when I told him those are every day things.
Wrath is January, Envy is April, Lust is February, Gluttony and Sloth have a sliding month between November and December.
Please Explain. I don’t get that one.
Relatively new and lazy tie into J6 stuff…
Thanks for the genuine LOL of the morning.
Kakistocracy for the win.
Also, your Avatar is scary.
The wacky, wacky idea of trying to get this done via the Legislature not being one of them, obviously.
The New York gun law flavor of court ruling compliance… if we’re going to ever add an amendment, some sort of liability (organizational and personal) for knowingly pushing unconstitutional laws/actions needs to be considered. This “Oops… did I do that? Bad llama!” garbage has to stop.
It can’t be done through the legislature. They can’t get the votes. And if they could, they wouldn’t want that. But they will keep pretending they will do this because there is a large group of fucking leftards that will show up to vote for them even though they get psyched every time.
When Congress fails to pass what the President wants, the President is forced to use pen and phone. Does the legislature not understand its role is to pass what the king desires?
That was the essentially the difference between the Roman Republic and the Empire.
On the day we find out that the FBI had covered for Biden taking bribes so they could rig the 2020 election for him, the machine indicts their political enemy on charges of committing a crime they have ignored when it was committed by Obama and Biden amongst others. The machine needs to make sure the serfs know their place.
This kind of shit is what the second amendment was actually intended to address.
Yep. That’s why they have removing our second amendment right as one of their highest priorities.
There aren’t enough reasonable prosecutors for every crime.
I can certainly appreciate that they’d rather be living in their own private Idaho — but I don’t think the Oregon legislature or Congress are ever going to allow state breakups. Can’t have folks out of the control of a few urban center elites, after all.
Yup… because nothing says “Let’s go along with major body modification” like listening to an obvious crazy person. Get that woman some actual mental health care, assholes.
I’m not really qualified to judge, but Eliot Page makes a passable twink.
How dare you, that is a straight man.
I choose to headcanon Eliot as the product of Ellen unable to reconcile her love of anal.
The fact people are not just encouraging this mental disorder, but encouraging more people to get it, scares me. Remember these are the people that tell you they are socially liberal and the ones that care. They care so much that they are encouraging destructive things at the same time their policies are causing massive harm to those that that really need to be protected.
Completely organic.
This LA Times article is just full of gold.

Depends on what the voices in her head were telling her apparently.

Morning, Banjos! Love some good Johnny Cash… that song in particular worked very well for a bit of action not that long ago.
“House GOP begins to see results from subpoenas and proposed contempt resolutions”
The machine has decided it was simpler to just release the information, have their controlled legacy media ignore the revelations or better yet, lie them away, then completely ignore the fact they are criminally corrupt. Nothing will come about it because Obama’s weaponized bureaucratic machine protects its own (and team blue has sold out to them).
The House can refer charges which the DOJ will place in the circular file. They can impeach which Democrats can block in the Senate. Tribalism is an insurance policy.
Yep. The Senate and DOJ will block any serious consequences, and the media will run cover. The narrative right now is that the document is nothing, the totally impartial and not corrupt FBI investigated and found there was no wrongdoing.

The air seems somewhat clearer here today. I was wondering if the Canadians ever put out the fire their female firefighters accidentally started last month.
Satellite images show that all the wildfires started at the same time in different places on June 2nd. Seems very suspicious.
1. Lots of wildfires are started by arson.
2. Smouldering from lighting strikes + rising winds = simultanteous flareups.

Bidenomics and Its Contradictions
Competition with China has reinforced President Biden’s commitment to industrial policy, but his vision for government intervention carries risks for the U.S. economy and allies
https://www.wsj.com/articles/bidenomics-and-its-contradictions-4d76ee7d?st=4ustf3cq4xj5p4w&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink
I’m certainly on the “globalism is stupid for vital national resources” front and so am not as free trade as most around here… but we’d be talking tariffs at most. Phrases like “fed gov guides investment, industry and trade” scream “Government picks winners EVEN MORE” at best and downright fucking Classical Fascism (government dictating to private capital what they can do) at worst. No fucking thanks.

TRIGGER WARNING! The comment is so heinous, you will not believe how horrible it is…
Reminds me of this article. Wrongthink will not be tolerated, heretics!
To deal with these problems, Sullivan said, the U.S. needs a new approach, a “modern American industrial strategy” in which a more assertive federal government guides investment, industry and trade to bolster both the middle class and national security.

I still find this type of wooden house Americans seem to build a lot of strange. Houses should be made of bricks.
We are a forest people.
In some times and places we were a earth people. I have a photo of an ancestral sod house.
Romanian wolves presumably have greater lung capacity.
Looks like a normal house to me, not far from where I live now.
Brick houses aren’t so good in earthquakes.
Oh come now, they’re not so bad. You just need to… um… seimically isolate the entire structure?
Which they do in LA.
https://legalinsurrection.com/2023/06/two-major-hotels-abandoning-san-francisco-because-streets-are-no-longer-safe/
Haha!
It’s the MAGA people making the streets unsafe, right?

“Park Hotels & Resorts Inc. announced this week that it stopped making payments on a $725 million loan that secured both its 1,921-room Hilton San Francisco Union Square and 1,024-room Parc 55 San Francisco properties”
No, the hotels secure the loan, not the other way around.
The real issue here isn’t the purely local impact on a declining city. It’s how this knocks on through the finance and banking sectors.
Yeah, the same is going to happen all over. And not just hotels, but all downtown commercial real estate.
talking to some of my friends who live in SF, there is a mixture of “awesome, now we can give the homeless places to live” and “that took long enough”.
You might need better friends.
lol
Except it won’t be homeless, it will be “asylum seekers”. The actual homeless who are capable of living in a shelter already are. The ones you see on the street are not.
Ohio Glibs:
The hotel is the Fairfield Inn in C-bus. Any recommendations for good and preferably interesting places to eat? Fortunately most of the food will be provide by the match, but there are a couple of unaccounted for mealtimes.
The one outside of the 270 loop? That’s a bit out in the burbs for my area knowledge. Most of the places I know about are in downtown cowtown. The Short North is usually a pretty common destination, but there’s been some high profile shootings in the area, and the city has enacted curfews and the like (which are currently being fought over in the courts).
If you’re planning on going into the city proper, it’ll depend on what you’d like to do. There’s a decent selection of breweries, meaderies, and distilleries that will gladly take your cash in exchange for delicious beverages. If you’re looking for some retro fun, there’s both a 16-bit barcade and a Pins Mechanical there (16-bit is free play arcade games, Pins is duckpin bowling and the like).
I’ve got a soft spot for Barley’s Brewing company, as they were (if not the, then one of) the first craft breweries in the area, and they used to do a sampler platter of their beers (a sample of everything they had on tap). Elevator brewery (now operated under something else, as they sold the brewery a while back) is in a beautiful building and has some solid food. Antiques on High does sour beers, craft cocktails, and has a charcuterie vending machine.

I probably will just be in the mood for food. My day will be spent in activities of varying degrees of physical and mental exertion. Especially since it looks like my stage opens at 7:00 and doesn’t close until 5:00. I am really hoping there’s shade available or I might need to locate a beach umbrella.
That’s the one I was thinking of. Just trying to avoid giving too many specifics about the location. That’s out of my usual area when I go down there.
Assuming you’re taking 71 south through Ashland, I would recommend stopping at Grandpa’s Cheesebarn. Last time I went through there, they were back to giving free samples.
I did stop there, and I was expecting more cheese.
Thanks!
You will probably find something.
I’m never on that end of town, so I don’t have specific recommendations. Polaris area is pretty much as swanky as Columbus gets, so there will be a raft of restaurants, albeit mostly chains. If you think you’ll be run down after a long day, I wouldn’t advise trying to get into downtown. It’s a twisty maze of
passages that all look the sameone way streets and street parking is questionable.I am thinking about coming up to the match for one day just to gawk, maybe I’ll run into you.
Downtown’s not bad unless they’re working on the roads, which they always are.
Right now, I’m assigned to run the side matches and supervise the demo/sighting-in bays.
I’ll just wander around yelling
MarcoFuck You, and listening forPoloCut Spending.There are apparently 13 Skyline Chili locations in the greater Columbus area: https://www.skylinechili.com/columbus/. 😁😋
If they called it a meat sauce, I’d go “okay, sure” but it fails to meet the requirements to be a chili.
My understanding is that the Greek word for it was similar enough to chili that they went with it. Or just translated best that way, or something.
Actual chili with pasta is a thing where I grew up. So much so that news is made when a provider closes/opens:

Republicans, in the aftermath, boasted they had bent Wray to their will. “The FBI caved. Members of the Oversight Committee will now be allowed to review the record alleging a bribery scheme by VP Biden,” Chairman James Comer (R-KY) tweeted. “This record is still being used in an ongoing investigation. The FBI is ALSO making 2 docs referenced in the record available to me.”
Blah blah blah. Call me when the FBI is disbanded.
When we last left them about a week ago, the sales volume was down by almost 30 percent and I noted that they were in danger of losing their “number one beer in America” title to Modelo Especial.
In part, because of all the efforts by Bud Light to sell beer for basically nothing, the drop this week is not quite as steep as the prior week, but it’s still significant and it’s still dropping.

Deepfake. AI. Disinformation. TRUMP. This story has got it all.
Artificial intelligence is hitting the campaign trail. This week, a video from Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis included apparently fake images of former President Donald Trump hugging Anthony Fauci. It’s the latest example of how rapidly evolving AI tools are supercharging political attacks by allowing politicians to blur the line between fact and fiction.
The video, posted Monday on Twitter by the Florida governor’s rapid response team, slammed the former president’s alleged support of Fauci, who has become a punching bag for Republicans for his role in crafting the nation’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Poor Foochy. Putting him in a hug with the cartoon villain is the ultimate indignity. Those images don’t look that special. A shaved monkey could come up with them.
wut
Yeah the AI picture might be fake but Trump slobbed on Fauci’s knob often and with vigor. Everything after is just populist tea leaves readings by Trump.

“Farhan Musaji, 26, jumped a red light at a junction in his Audi A4 and ploughed into Layla Shepard as she was cycling home, before fleeing the scene and abandoning his car.
The horrific incident in Deane, near Bolton, Greater Manchester left the ten-year-old with a fractured cheekbone and a broken nose, as well as needing surgery on her leg.

“Washington judge orders female-only spa with compulsory nudity to admit transgender women with penises, after owner said facility was for ‘biological women only’ and pre-op trans activist complained
Olympus Spa had attempted to sue the Washington State Human Rights Commission (WSHRC) after being ordered to change their rules.
Now, a Washington District Court has dismissed the lawsuit filed by the spa and upheld the original ruling by the WSHRC. The Pacific Northwest state is one of several Dem-run areas where trans people are permitted to use facilities which align with their gender without question.
In her judgement, District Court Judge Barbara Jacobs Rothstein upheld the ruling made by the WSHRC and said that the measures taken to the prevent the spa from having a female-only policy had been lawful.
She said: ‘I did it! I worked with the WSHRC and got Olympus Spa (the main naked lady spa in the area) to change their policies and allow all self-identified women access regardless of surgery and genitals.'”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12176407/Washington-womens-spa-compulsory-nudity-ordered-judge-start-admitting-trans-women.html
This whole self-ID thing is just dangerously silly. Anyone who has a beard is not a trans woman. Regardless, businesses should be able to make their own rules.
Bearded women hardest hit.
Since blacks want segregation, why not repeal public accommodation laws and let businesses decide.
“Main naked lady spa?”
I’m sure that Koreans would totally refer to it that way.
Yep. With as much grift and money that is flowing their direction right now, you’d think they would just open up their own space. Once you realize that they never will, it is all about burning down that which opposes them.
It has nothing to do with whatever the business is providing, but to be declared “one of the girls”.
“All women admitted. All penises must be covered.”
That will still lead their primary customer base of women to not show up as being undressed in front of men is not what they signed up for.
But maybe the men won’t show up if they’re not permitted to expose themselves? Not sure what the kink is they’re feeding.
I don’t think this is due to a kink. This was politically motivated.
If the personal is political, then publicly spreading* your kinks is an act of political activism.

“Regardless, businesses should be able to make their own rules.”
Lester Maddox said the same thing.
GT ended up owning the building his restaurant was in. I think it finally got torn down for Olympic construction. I think it housed the Co-op offices or something when I was in school.
If I have the right location, it is now “EcoCommons”.
“compulsory nudity”
All of a sudden this is my new favorite phrase.
Are there still such things as private clubs that can admit whomever they wish? Can the Jewish country club not admit gentile golfers? Can the Muslim day care center not admit Jewish kids? Can the D.A.R. refuse to admit those who can’t establish descent from a Rev War supporter?
Replace the term ‘gender’ with ‘whim’.

Put a fork in it. The huge and clunky SAE CCS adapter plug is dead in North America. Electrically and from a communication standpoint it was interoperable with Tesla’s connector. But, for whatever reason, the SAE felt compelled to create and adapter that is like three times as large and more expensive. The fact that Electrify America can’t find its ass from a hole in the ground in terms of availability and ease of use was the final nail.

Wonder if they will be (or maybe already are) retrofit charging kits for existing vehicles.
That’s what they said. It’s a physical adapter. Nothing is electronic within it.

Hands off
Thursday’s indictment came out of a probe by special counsel Jack Smith, who was appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland. Garland has been scrupulous about not getting involved in the probe, and he said Smith would make his own charging decisions. Biden has also emphasized his distance from the probe, and the White House said it learned of the indictment from media reports Thursday evening.
They only know what they read in the newspapers.
Scrupulous about making his fingerprinted we’re not directly viable all over the entire thing.
House GOP begins to see results
Get back to me when “results” turns into prosecutions, or at the very least firings.
I wanna see the presidential debates where each candidate is participating vial jail-cam.
The Trump team is closely monitoring which members of leadership have defended him on Twitter, sources said.

What does that make emoji in business e-mails?
Right up there with “All absolute statements are wrong – including this one.”
Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., the ranking member on the Oversight Committee and the lead manager for Trump’s second impeachment trial, pushed back against the GOP.
“Dangerous rhetoric about a ‘two-tiered system of justice’ — discriminating against the rich no less — in order to prop up the twice-impeached former president not only undermines the Department of Justice but betrays the essential principle of justice that no one is above the commands of law, not even a former President or a self-proclaimed billionaire,” he said in a statement.
Raskin vowed to pursue oversight, saying Democrats are “determined to understand the full sweep of Trump’s unlawful possession of hundreds of government documents and his offenses against our government and people.”
Burn the witch.
Dangerous disinformation. Time to call in Nina.
The gall of warning people that pointing out that the emperor has no clothes is a detriment to the emperor is just stunning.

My 3-year-old came to tell me there was a “big big chicken” in our yard and you will never guess what it actually was
https://twitter.com/missmulrooney/status/1666441473007419392
I suppose my guess of “Velociraptor” was improbable anyway. (At least the modern version… cassowary).
If it were a large flightless bird, I’d have given the 3 year old some credit.
That kid either needs glasses, or more instruction on the basics of barnyard animal identification.
Or…..shit parents make up to pretend their kid said something funny.
But there was nothing funny there.
Her three old must have just watched Young Guns II

“After CHOP, the uber-left Molly Moon’s Ice Cream owner made it clear and didn’t support cops. This sign was posted to tell cops to not enter their shop, while declaring online that it supported divesting funds from Seattle Police. Now they’re suing over Antifa and BLM activism?”

Ridiculous.
Would be a shame if Antifa took a walk by their windows.

“We support CHOP but demand you to control them so they don’t hurt business.”
To be fair, the defendant isn’t SPD, it’s the City of Seattle. Perhaps she expected them to provide LGBTQ Peace Facilitators of Color in order to mindfully enact restorative justice or something.
Norway Chess final round is about to start. It comes down to the top two Americans who play today. Hikaru Nakamura needs a win, Fabiano Caruana just needs a draw. Hikaru is playing white.
Magnus Carlsen is sucking it up in his home tournament. His classic play is has been slipping lately, with him not playing it much (and giving up his World Championship title).
Magnus won the last 4 Norway Chess tourneys.

This is a great article by Martyr Made, now available for free:

I am less than half way thru…I just go to the part written by SugarFree.
Example:
The installation included witchy sayings painted in pig’s blood on white walls including: “Mix fresh breast milk with fresh sperm milk, drink on earthquake nights”, “With a sharp knife, cut deeply into the middle finger of your left hand. Eat the pain”, and “Fresh morning urine, sprinkle over nightmare dreams.” An effigy of a human infant, completely covered in pig’s blood as if a bucket of the stuff had been thrown on it, has placed in the corner of room.
*blink* I need to see a priest after reading that.
An old priest and a young priest?
MMs series on Epstein and the pedos is ridiculous. If anything, the conspiracy theories are orders of magnitude too tame.
Our elites are actual monsters.
What is it about children that’s got people (a lot more than I care to think about) all hot and bothered? I really just don’t get it.
I don’t understand it either. Then again, I don’t understand less extereme paraphilia, heck, I can’t even figure out what women see in dudes.
In short, I got nothin.
Even scarier.
They are cruel evil people. The sacrifice of innocent children was always the most powerful kind of sacrifice.
I don’t exaggerate when I call them demonic.
I don’t exaggerate when I call them demonic.
It’s true. I didn’t used to believe in Satan but those days are long gone.
I am going to be that guy, but I dont think Epstein catered to pedos, but to ephebos.
That doesn’t make it right, but it isnt QUITE as bad. We have age of consent laws for a reason, but there is a BIG difference between a 15 year old and an 8 year old.
I will agree with you about teenagers above the age of consent. Don’t like it, but having been a 15-year-old girl once, devouring Harlequins with 18yo ingenues and 36-year-old McHotties, I developed a taste for the May-December romance, so I get it, with both sides. I mean, “Don’t Stand So Close to Me” was written for a reason.
However, I don’t believe for one moment that someone who would cater to ephebos wouldn’t also cater to pedos.
Now, for something completely different. I listened to a podcast with a name-withheld self-proclaimed pedophile who had never touched a child and stayed away from children. He said for some reason, his attraction to the opposite sex stopped at the age range of the onset of puberty, and he grew up while his sexual tastes did not. He said he felt stuck in the past, to what he had been attracted to as a child.
You are probably right on that.
Breathtakingly obscene, isn’t it?
Breathtakingly obscene? Alright, I’m in.
Wow.
What the hell?
I am about halfway through it and Podesta’s art collection is creepy.

“A” talking hat. Sigh.
TL;MaybeReadLater but I did not know any of this:
Just a coincidence, I suppose.
Most of this is directly from his Epstein podcasts, which I listened to recently.
The wilder rumors about Epstein become much easier to believe given the general depravity of “elite” society. Recently, you may have seen a story about a Virginia socialite being arrested for child pornography. I was particularly interested because her ex-husband, a federal judge, was my high school classmate. She is the scion of a wealthy family of lawyers whose great-grandfather was one of the founding partners of the prominent law firm of Hunton Andrews Kurth.
Along the lines of what’s discussed in the link, it is still astonishing to me that Woody Allen’s 1979 film Manhattan, one of his most acclaimed movies, featured a 44 year old man (Allen) dating a 17 year old high school girl (Mariel Hemingway), and this was not particularly controversial.
I have never seen a Woody Allen film, so maybe I’m missing something, but I read the Wilipedia plot summation of that movie, and I can’t see why anyone would watch that.
I like some Woody Allen movies , mostly his early comedies, and hate some others. I’ve never seen Manhattan. I will also add that Night Moves, a really good 1975 detective movie with Gene Hackman, had a 16 year old Melanie Griffith doing nude scenes. Weird shit was a-OK in the Seventies.

Blame it on Rio.
“I have never seen it but by all accounts it is terrible. However, I have seen the house that it built and it is terrific.” — Michael Caine
He said it about Jaws 4, but it applies to Blame it on Rio as well.
Huh, somehow I’ve never seen that. Wonder if it’s on streaming anywhere.
It used to be, that’s how I saw it – Amazon Prime I think. No idea if it still is. It’s a pretty dark movie.
Bidenomics at work
Wall Street is feeling bullish again.
The S&P 500 rallied Thursday to end the day in a bull market, marking a 20% surge since its most recent low, reached on October 12, 2022. That brings to end the bear market that began in January 2022.
Buoyed by gains in big technology stocks, the broad-based index closed at 4,293.93 and crossed the threshold that separates a bear market from a bull market — that’s investor-speak for a period of time marked by rising stock prices and optimism on Wall Street. Investors are certainly in a buying mood: CNN’s Fear and Greed Index hit “Extreme Greed” Thursday
——-
Over the past week, markets have gained momentum, likely because of the end of the debt ceiling crisis, optimism that the Federal Reserve will pause rate hikes at its June meeting and a recent string of strong economic readings.
Cans were kicked.
The road never actually seems to end, tho.
Spend money, extend the road, kick the can.

Reality intrudes
I General Motors plans to invest more than $500 million in a plant in Texas to prepare the facility for production of its highly profitable next-generation large SUVs.
The Detroit automaker said Thursday the investment will include new tooling and equipment in Arlington Assembly’s stamping, body shop and general assembly areas for the gas- and diesel-powered Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Tahoe/Suburban and GMC Yukon/Yukon XL SUVs.
The investment is further confirmation that the company plans to continue to spend on its traditional operations to assist in funding its emerging electric vehicle business.
GM on Monday made a similar announcement for its next-generation heavy-duty pickups, which share the frame of the large SUVS. The truck investment included more than $1 billion in two Michigan plants for production of next-generation heavy-duty trucks.
The notably profitable vehicles remain in high demand, and sales are needed to assist in funding the automaker’s investments in EVs. The company has said it plans to exclusively offer consumer EVs by 2035. The automaker recently confirmed an all-electric version of its Cadillac Escalade but declined to disclose when the vehicle will come to market.
It takes money to fund vanity projects.
