No real sports news this morning. So I’m diving straight into…the links!
Scumbag pussy.
I thought this was settled at the Supreme Court years ago. Yes, I think this guy is an asshole. But I don’t see how they can prosecute him since the court ruled he has no duty to intervene. They’re trying to do an end-around on the precedent. I hope it succeeds because I thought the court was wrong on their reasoning, but I’m dubious about their chances it will hold up to scrutiny.
Just keep pumping money into this bullshit. If they made financial sense, cities and states would do it anyway. That’s how I know this is stupid.
And speaking of the Supreme Court. This is a big one. I hope they end this racist practice.
This guy will never make it as a social media influencer. Had he been one, he’d have obviously just ignored it.
“Family-friendly”
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Can we hurry up and get to July already?
I bet people in Illinois would disagree with that last statement. But they’re getting what they (a majority of them anyway) asked for, I suppose.
It’s not really legal then, is it? If the state ain’t getting theirs, you ain’t growing yours.
She seems nice. She’s almost ready to make a run for federal office.
Here’s some 80s magic. Good stuff. And here’s a lighter one. Enjoy them both.
And enjoy the start of the last week of what’s become the craziest month of the year.
“Just keep pumping money into this bullshit. If they made financial sense, cities and states would do it anyway. That’s how I know this is stupid.”
Someone connected is making bank…
Someone? Seems like everyone — all the little piglets happily wallowing in the trough while the presses go brrrrrrrrr…
There always are people that are connected and behind the fact these things keep being peddled that make more money than others!
“And speaking of the Supreme Court. This is a big one. I hope they end this racist practice.”
Who really believes that the machine created to be racist will give up that racism and suddenly actually accept applicants on merit? Meritocracies are the main targets of these people’s agenda to wreck things.
My question is whether this can flip the standings of what the “good” colleges are.
If the Ivies all give up using standardized testing and doing their secret affirmative action selections behind the scenes, might they drop compared to colleges that keep using SAT scores to decide who gets in?
Since most college is BS, I don’t think that is a big deal, but if I were hiring engineers or other STEM grads, I would rather pick from schools the selected their students on merit.
I’d rather just dissolve the hedge funds with colleges attached.
Networking needs to be seen as a form of fraud.
Networking is baked into our DNA. Networking is just tribalism, just you get to choose your tribe.
We need to redistribute high-paying jobs to introverts without connections!
/rubblerubblerubblerubble
Colleges are a fraudulent enterprise already as I am concerned. How do they get away with charging so many idiots (this probably is how they get away with it) the same amount of money to get useless or low earning degrees? I mean I get paying big bucks for a degree that puts you in a spot to make a lot of money (which makes the degree worth the investment). I even get a degree that gives you valuable skills. But most of the humanities and studies degrees these days just prepare you to be a moocher and marxist shill. And they make you pay through the nose to screw you over.
College is a bargain for most people when you do the math. You go for about 30 weeks a year for five years…that’s around 150 weeks. And you pay about $100k on average for the privilege. I can’t go anywhere fun on vacation for under $700/week.
When you think about what college has become, a five year vacation for under $700/week is a fucking steal.
That’s an interesting way to look at it, but since you can’t declare bankruptcy and discharge that debt, you will be hampered for the rest of your life financially. That long vacay is gonna have consequences, so I prefer the more expensive short term one.
And I concur with the stupidity of people that pay premium dollar to attend collage but them spend most of their time avoiding getting any value from that experience other that partying and slacking.
“Partying and slacking”
That worn-out stereotype is a pet peeve of mine. College isn’t a vacation if you’re doing it right.
I went to a humble land grand university and majored in engineering. Yes, there were definitely some partying types at that university, but they weren’t in engineering, or at least not for long. The sociology majors teased me for turning down party opportunities because I had to do homework. I kept my eyes on the prize.
Tuition + fees + room and board amounted to about $5500 per year.
If you’re after an education and not some mythical life experience, you can get it and it will pay off later, big time. Took a while, but it paid off.
The problem now is government loans. If banks did the loans, they’d not give them out for Gender Studies and similar pointless degrees, just like they turn down business loans for crappy business ideas.
/rant off
It’s a stereotype because there are a lot more sociology majors, and people getting other useless degrees, than there are engineering students getting actual educations.
Go to a land-grant university campus on an average Thursday evening, and I bet dollars to donuts there are more kids at a party than there are in the library.
I blame a good chunk of it on the devaluation of a high school diploma (mostly due to teacher’s unions / government schools not actually teaching high schoolers crap).
Everyone now needs a Bachelor’s at least to know you have some semblance of a brain where a GED/High school diploma used to suffice. So no surprise that the “free college for all… extend government schooling up through Bachelor’s!” brigade is in play. If they get it / once they get it, a Master’s will be needed… and so on. Degree inflation.
With the first four years of college realistically becoming High School 2.0 for a lot of folks — they treat it as such, just with even less parental supervision… hence the party scenes and lack of caring.
“I blame a good chunk of it on the devaluation of a high school diploma”
By design. Primary education is now baby sitting and brain washing, with most schools actively working to kill honors programs too. College then gives you at a minimum 4 more years to brain wash.
Eh, engineering students still party. I grew up in and my father taught at a top 10 engineering school, CPSLO, and the amount of partying was up in the legendary scale.
A lot of people can do both.
“What do you call someone who graduates last from medical school?”
Similarly with someone who graduates with a STEM degree. Someone who barely makes it over the finish line has the same degree as someone who busts out a perfect 4.0. Or 5.0 if you went to one of those schools.
Travel was more educational for me, generally.
“That worn-out stereotype is a pet peeve of mine. College isn’t a vacation if you’re doing it right.
I went to a humble land grand university and majored in engineering.”
My point was precisely that some degree choices require heavy work to complete (and give you careers that pay off) while others are just expensive bullshit. You can’t succeed in STEM, or economics/medicine, if you slack. But most of the humanities degrees these days are bullshit (they used to teach people to think critically, but now it is all marxist indoctrination).
I went to a military school for my bachelors in EE & AE and had to work my ass off. I got an EE masters at a school that cost a fortune (thanks for paying Uncle Sam) and also worked my ass off. But you wouldn’t believe how many kids worked the hardest at avoiding doing the work they should be doing so they can slack/party in fields outside of STEM, econ, medicine. And this was some 35 plus years ago. These days I hear it is worse.
That should be scandalous, but it won’t be for some reason.
that would require the rankings to not be in on it. seems like historical rankings influence more than they should.
You can’t fool me. That’s a man.
WHEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Can we hurry up and get to July already?
So Takei is basically telling us that we should just accept whatever degeneracy fringe groups want? I know a ton of gay people that do not feel this shit should be allowed to happen.
This book pretty much covers it.

“the madness of crowds”
Indeed.
Like the crowd that attacked that woman in NYC for not being sufficiently pro-trans.
One must support the Current Thing, or else.
The Borg say it: “Resistance is futile”..
And the horrifying reality is there is strength in numbers, so the necessity of projecting that your numbers are greater than anyone opposing you.
Instead of abandoning a perfectly good month, we should be throwing activists in woodchippers and out of helicopters.
Eventually we’ll get june back.
I say we make sure we get all months back and all activist idiocy leads to chippers.
There’s a reason pride month isn’t in January.
Shrinkage?
Heh.
Damn you!
Ha-ha-ha! Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
Is it because shrinkage is real and they don’t want to be embarrassed by flopping their dicks out in cold weather?
Not proud enough.
It’ll show up their shortcomings.
Some guys just don’t measure up.
I don’t know, there are a lot of bears and I bet some are polar. At least, judging by all the white hair.
Eventually we’ll get june back.
And Christians will get the rainbow back.
What about out of helicopters into woodchippers?
But those Trump rallies where some loner shows up with a Russian flag or a nazi flag? Those are still totes representative of the entire group right?
The vast majority of the nazis that show up (if not all of them) are feds. In authoritarian systems, the feds need to create/reenforce the “Nazis are everywhere and undermining your government” thing so they can spy and/or stomp on the law abiding people that know their government is corrupt.
You and me both – this one certainly seems blatantly illegal given all the “Thou shalt not discriminate based on race” laws at the Federal level, especially for colleges that take federal funding (that’s the camel nose they use these days, after all).
But if it is the right discrimination… its all cool these days… so we’ll just have to see. Lots of angry Asian Tiger Moms though — and for good reason. Extra funny for California schools since what’s the one demographic this state was actually racist-as-hell towards….
“WHEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Can we hurry up and get to July already?”
You think the grooming efforts will stop just because it is a new month? Didn’t a bunch of these assholes marching in NYC this weekend again sing that limerick about how they are queer, here, and coming for the kids and the media ignored it as they usually do to protect the fucking evil shit the hard left is doing?
There is no evidence in the article that she is well versed.
For these fucks well versed means she magically ignores the constitution and real law in favor of progressive bullshit.
Race was a critical part of how certain cotton planters did their work in the 1850s too…. that’s not a very convincing argument there.
Yeah… that was refreshingly honest, I guess.
I can’t wait to see the not-racist racism they come up with to replace the current racism.
I thought their argument was always that only whites, the white-adjacents, and black/brown faces of white supremacy, could be racists?
rhywun – from last night,
Yes, BL is aimed at mostly straight female demographic. Mojeaux and I have discussed briefly that there is some interest here for that among straight women, but I don’t think to the same degree as in Japan.
From a straight male perspective BL portrays gay relationships as distortedly as “hot girl on girl action” aimed at straight men here does. In other words, not at a all. BL is quite stylized usually with very sexually strong and very passive characters. But when scanning current anime synopsis it seems like more natural male romance stories are becoming more prevalent.
Was Tweek & Clyde from South Park an example of that?
Tweek and Clyde absolutely nailed BL.
It contains one of my favorite Randy lines, “I’m sorry I don’t speak Asian”.
Race is a critical part of how we do our work
The Klan agrees.
“Race is a critical part of how we do our work in higher education,”
Then you’re a racist and have no business educating people.
Can’t say anti-racism without racism.
I was watching my wife’s shows and they had a Howard university engineering professor as a character, and so I had to look up if Howard even had an engineering school. Turns out they do, but it’s a laughable ranking but at 9x the cost of the same quality school.
One of the jokes at my Alma Mater was that RIT has a College of Liberal Arts, with students majoring in those topics.
No one goes to Yale to learn how to practice law.
“It’s not really legal then, is it? If the state ain’t getting theirs, you ain’t growing yours.”
The mob would bristle at you trying to avoid them getting their beaks wet. Government sends your ass to jail if they can’t get their cut.
It is amazing that they legalize pot, but then tax it at such high levels that there is still a black market.
This is California. There’s nothing the state government can’t fuck up.
By design, I am sure..
Download this. If there is any real justice, it will be a legal defense.
They’re trying to do an end-around on the precedent.
The state needs a scapegoat.
They could call David Hogg to the stand as a witness, but he was too far away from the school when it happened to give them any information.
I’m kinda okay with the scapegoat being a cop.
Honestly, if I were his lawyer, my entire defense would be that he was not in a position to care for the kids since he was not in immediate contact with them and that the SC has clearly stated that my client has no obligation to intervene.
Then I’d tell my POS client to go back to living under a fucking rock because he was too much of a coward to try and stop the asshole who was killing kids he was paid to protect.
The US government is awarding $1.7 billion to buy electric and low-emission buses
Diesel is better.
Within days, the Supreme Court could bar them from considering race as a factor in the admissions process.
Sounds like something that already violates federal law.
Sounds like something the feds shouldn’t be involved in either way.
Too many state schools involved, too much fed money.
So, if you remove that from the equation, yeah. But until then…
I’m aware, I’m just amused at the number of ‘libertarians’ that are fine with ( some seem to be rooting for) the fed’s to over step their bounds as long as they agree with the outcome. May as well join the GOP.
And they will not just say, “Damn, the effort to pick winners & losers on racial grounds was wrong and we are going to have to give up” and then give up, but they will just try to figure out a new way to hide that they intend to keep doing this crap.
Racism is difficult to give up when it has been a party policy since the beginning.
Don’t forget the part about it being one hell of a lucrative fucking grift.
I’m a scientist.
Do you have any aspirations to be able to stand up off the toilet in ten years? Pete, you look like an obese, pre-diabetic lump who gets winded walking up a flight of stairs. For your own quality of life, you should fix that. Certainly before offering anyone else advise on their health.

You know, I detest Hotez as much as anyone, but I do have to point out that he might be right to dodge Joe Rogan in a debate.

Those glowing red eyes betray the nature of cats.
It’s adorable when they murder little bunnies and eat the soft warm insides….
Bunnies are the snickers bars of the animal kingdom.
Last fall we adopted two new outdoor cats, brothers that been abandoned by their mother. Our current outdoor cats have been with us for quite a while, but we didn’t realize how complacent they had gotten in their position until the new boys started working. The increased volume of dead rodents and birds on the front porch is appalling, it’s like a abattoir out there.
They’re trying to teach you to hunt. You clearly aren’t catching anything.
That could well be true. Now I think of it, I don’t have any room to criticize on complacency in position.

Fuck that shizz!
Wait a second here…you mean to tell me Indian tribes fought each other before the white man showed up? Why I never!

It’s a lie! All natives were peaceful, genderfluid flower pickers. I refuse to hear otherwise – if some native contradicts that FUCK THEM and their phoney traditions! LAlaLAlaLAla I can’t hear you. /modern brave enlightened souls
Heh heh. I was chatting with some people this weekend about the level of brutality exhibited by the Mexican cartels. Some vids are showing up of cartel people skinning people from rival cartels alive. You should have seen the lights go off when I pointed out to the people I was talking to that the Mexican people have a long history of bloody shit going all the way back to the native Aztec sacrifices of live people. Compounded with some real nice colonialist Spanish blood and you real have some blood thirst!
In a state where the NFL team is the Vikings.
When did Warrior become exclusively associated with Indians?
Now this is an conspiracy theory. And it could well be true for all I know.
Did Putin and Prigozhin Play the CIA to the Tune of $6 Billion?
Agree to an insurrection, reportedly start the insurrection, get paid $billions, call it off, enjoy retirement?
Saw that. I like it.
I would believe it. I felt like the CIA had been trying to turn anyone in the Wagner group for a wile. Why not take advantage and steal the money? Split it with Pooie-poo and retire.
Lukashenko in on it too. A little revenge for CIA / State Department trying to color revolution him.
The CIA and the Brits are bound at the hip. And the Brits are getting desperate as their dream of relitigating the Crimean War goes down the tubes.
Whether or not Prighozin was involved in some high-end kayfabe is probably going to be impossible to tell for a very long time, he may have been entirely earnest.
The other massive development is the Biden administration saying NO to Ben Wallace as NATO chief. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-65981272
To say the Brits are pissed off about this is an understatement. Wallace would have started WW3 in earnest, so the question becomes who in the American agencies said “no fucking way” to him. I’m guessing the DOD, because it certainly wasn’t State.
I’d say the odds of us going head-to-head with the Russians just went down considerably.

Our closest ally is a basket case. They left the EU but since most of their elites wanted to stay, they purposely screwed up the exit. Now they have sky high inflation and giant deficient. Their military is a joke and wouldn’t make a bit of difference in a shooting war with Russia. They can’t even get their new aircraft carrier out to sea because it leaks. But they are hell bent on starting a war that other people will fight,
They’re still trying to hold on to the British Empire and we’ve been helping them. It can’t end soon enough.
But they are hell bent on starting a war that other people will fight,
The best type of war. Good for a certain type of individual to make money.
Well compared to the trillions we paid in Astan for that debacle this would be a bargain.
Wagner allegedly seized control from Rostov to Moscow itself, about the same distance from Atlanta to DC, and with apparently no resistance. The “captured” cities gave Wagner troops police escorts and local military units surrendered and joined Wagner at checkpoints. Then, with the Kremlin itself in sight and enjoying wide support from the local cities and military, we’re being told Wagner and Prigozhin simply decide to call it a day.
Clearly something is happening behind the scenes. The Western media presentation is making just as much sense as the Nordstream claims (take your equally ridiculous pick of Russia blowing the pipeline up or it being rogue fisherman).
My theory:
Russia was going to redeploy Wagner to Belorus anyway after the meatgrinder at Bakhmut, and probably start integrating it into the regular army. While they were mapping out their route to Belarus, some bright spark noticed that the first leg of the route as the road to Moscow, before they take a left for Belarus. At that point, an opportunity for maskirovka and desinformatsya presented itself, which Russians are genetically incapable of passing up.
Was this a cover for ripping off the CIA? For internal housekeeping? The resolution/redeployment does give the Russians , what, several divisions that are now not far from Kiev where I doubt the Ukrainians have heavy defenses.
That part I dunno, but the story that Wagner mutinied and was marching on Moscow until it was all cleared up with a few phone calls by the Belarussian dictator is, well, highly unlikely.
No idea what to think of any of it. Sure they are a well armed brigade(?) but surrounded by 300k troops of the regular army.
Show me a real coup.
If that’s true, WTF is the CIA thinking? Do they think Pirogi would be better? Do they think a civil war in a nuclear armed country would be a good thing? I hope they are not that stupid, but I fear that they are.
Might have a point with #2, but what a way to sandwich it.
None of those a valid arguments. Don’t be naked in public, especially in the presence of children.
The Pride Parade is know for this stuff. Don’t take your kid to the parade.

New polling shows trouble ahead for Republican politicians who continue blocking any attempt at rational restrictions on guns: Young conservatives of the kind the GOP will increasingly need in the future are far more open to required psychological exams for gun purchasers and other firearms limits than are their older conservative counterparts.
The reason is hardly mysterious: Gen Z — including its more right-leaning members — have all grown up in a country drowning in gun violence thanks to older conservatives’ stubborn resistance to even the mildest gun-safety proposals. …
A separate YouGov poll in March showed millennial and Gen Z Republicans are open to more gun restrictions generally and that that support has grown.
As the chairman of the Texas Young Republican Federation told the website: “There are some concerns from Gen Z voters specifically, mainly because they’ve had to deal with it more growing up — it’s become more rampant in society.”
It’s telling that prominent conservatives can acknowledge such a disturbing fact while still maintaining the party’s unreasonable refusal to even discuss reforms like limits on high-capacity magazines, red-flag laws and universal background checks. That’s how thoroughly the party, and too much of the country, has come to view these horrors as inevitable.
Just. One. More. Law.
Assuming there’s anything to the poll, it might not be because the country is drowning in gun violence, but because Gen Z is drowning in mental illness, by their own admission.
Yep. And a lot of it is self-inflicted mental illness. Some of the common habits of the younger generations are the mental hygiene equivalent of refusing to wash your hands after using a west Baltimore public toilet…
Yeah, we are not “drowning in gun violence” at any greater rate than in the past.
The young GOP would do well to ignore that constant lies and propaganda coming from the MSM.
“I’m Mentally Ill. And I VOTE!”
too much time on their hands
too few intellectual/creative hobbies
If only these young people would realize the guns have always been there…but the psychoactive drugs being administered like candy haven’t.
👆👆👆
It will not end until they confiscate them…
Uh-huh.
The various surveys are only as good as the items that comprise them and most (all?) of the surveys on this issue are biased as hell. Also, as Z gets older they’ll be less likely to support this idiocy.
In reality, Gen Z grew up in a period of historically low crime and murder rates for this country, comparable to the 1950’s.
Very very true. Remember this whenever you see a gun violence ‘study’ that starts in 2014.
Abort your Twitter.
It’s been one year since extreme-MAGA Republicans successfully overturned #RoevWade via the #Dobbs decision. I released this ad during the midterms last fall, now more than ever, we need to stay in the fight to protect women’s rights in America.

I abandoned my local team because of Pete Rose. And I grew up in a house that had season tickets since I can remember. Hell, I went to the 1972 World Series (and sat on my dad’s lap because I was 2). I loved the Reds and I idolized Rose the way a kid idolizes a sports star with an amazing work ethic. But that piece of shit killed baseball for me for probably more than a decade. And by the time I came back around to caring about baseball again, I’d moved away from the area.
We were pretty close to the whole thing. Hell, I drove past Jonathan’s Cafe in Franklin every day on my way to and from high school. Many times seeing that asshole’s Lambo parked on the street with his 4192 license plate. And everybody in the area knew what went on in there. When he got busted, and then when he voluntarily agreed to his lifetime ban, it killed my desire to watch the game for a really long time. Fuck that guy. I hope somebody whispers “you’ll never get into Cooperstown” in his ear when he’s in his deathbed so the last thing he experiences is disappointment. Then I hope they let him in after he dies.
Dammit. I hate it when this wound gets opened.
Sorry for the rant, but that fucking guy…man, I hate what that fucking guy did to me and so many other young people who idolized him for how he played the game.
We all have a story of betrayal like this sloop. Just keep on keeping on.
I was snubbed by Ole Charlie Hustle while he was getting off the bus at Busch Stadium. Standing there in my cub-scout uniform while other players were shaking hands and signing shit.
Pete just grimaced and ignored our little asses. Fuck that guy.
You hate him because of the betting thing?
Meh, I was over Rose after 1978 when he left for Philadelphia.
He was a mediocre manager during a time when my baseball interest was at a low point.
Why should the sins of one guy be visited on a team in perpetuity? I can see your point if MLB had hand-waved the gambling away but they didn’t. I once worked with a guy who had been an equipment manager for the Reds and he said Rose was great on the field and a despicable cad in his private life.
Because I was 18 and emotional. And like I said, by the time I started caring again, a lot of time had passed and I was living elsewhere.
Emotional 18 year olds shouldnt be making life-altering decisions.
I mean, they do all the time, but they shouldnt.
Eh, it isn’t like he’s an SF Giant.

gas stoveswood fired ovens.”New York City has told pizzerias that use coal or wood-burning ovens to slice their carbon emissions by 75 percent or else face hefty fines.
Ted Timbers, spokesman for the New York City Department of Environmental Protection, confirmed the new rules on Sunday.
“All New Yorkers deserve to breathe healthy air and wood and coal-fired stoves are among the largest contributors of harmful pollutants in neighborhoods with poor air quality,” Timbers said in a statement. “This common-sense rule, developed with restaurant and environmental justice groups, requires a professional review of whether installing emission controls is feasible.”
According to the New York Post, the new rule will likely require pizzerias with pre-2016 ovens to pay upwards of $20,000 to install air filtration systems, which will include continued maintenance costs:
Next will be fire places and wood stoves.

From the sub header of the affirmative action article: Facing a possible ban on considering race in admissions, some top schools are devising alternative ways to foster diversity on campus.
Isn’t that an admission that non Asian/Jew minorities aren’t good enough to get in on their own merits?
Stop saying the quiet part out loud.
I can kinda understand. If they don’t keep a fat supply line of idiots getting admission they run the risk of the grifter programs dying for lack of students.

Yup — that’s the first thing that came to mind. They moved the first primary to South Carolina for the Donkeys, didn’t they? All part of the “Fuck Iowa already” plan.
OK. Going off for that in/outpatient assessment. I am not making a decision/moving in today. Today is just about being honest, listening and gonna think about what is best.

“I’ve made thousands on OnlyFans after letting my body hair grow – I’ll never shave again”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-12233485/Ive-thousands-OnlyFans-letting-body-hair-grow.html
No.
Are we doing kink-shaming now? Because this sounds like kink-shaming, and shaming a profitable kink at that.
The average person on OnlyFans makes less than $200/month. I suspect almost all these “I made a fortune on OnlyFans” articles are bullshit, put out there by OnlyFans, to get more people to sign up to OnlyFans.

Ew.
I don’t particularly find this lol attractive, but that is pretty much the normal state of a human being, no?
In a way the no hair fetish of modern times is kind of strange and MAP-adjacent if you think about it.
Not really modern. Romans, for example, found female body hair disgusting and patrician women would remove it. There are other examples as well.
I’m sure there are other examples, I didn’t mean to imply that it was a purely novel phenomenon.
The “normal state of a human being” also doesn’t have soap or toothpaste.
I think there is a category difference between hair removal and removing germs and dirt.
ISTR pubic hair removal started as a way to control lice and the like. So soap-adjacent.

They forgot the collards and fried chicken.
Employees accused a Toyota plant in Kansas City of being “disrespectful” after it served only watermelon as a part of a Juneteenth celebration, according to FOX4.
The company held a Juneteenth celebration at a Kansas City, Missouri, distribution center where watermelon was the only thing served to staff, according to FOX4. Employees were offended by the celebration, with one employee referring to it as racism he should not have to encounter at work.
“A slap in the face, very disrespectful, you know. They preach Black lives matter, but kind of like they were making a joke out of us,” Jarret Bolden, a black employee, told FOX4. “Acknowledge us as people. Stop taking us as a joke.”
Would you have preferred spaghetti? Fish and chips?
Borscht and curdled yak’s milk (whatever the Mongolians call that).
“Acknowledge us as people. Stop taking us as a joke.”
They acknowledge you as a person when they pay you every two weeks, dick.
Well stated.
Fried chicken and collards with cold watermelon for dessert sounds like heaven but then I’m from South. Down this way it’s not so much black people food as it is, well, food.
Always been that way, as anyone who’s seen any southern wypipo on cooking shows knows.
They should have done tacos. Then announced they were moving production to Mexico.
Its peak watermelon season.
Also, fried chicken.
Serving tacos on May 5th or corned beef and green beer for St Pattys day is still ok, right?
Tacos are always okay. Green beer is never okay.
Green beer is never okay.
It is entertaining when it comes back up.

Ummmm 1.7 billion to buy 1700 busses? Way to not even try to hide the graft. I bet you could get a rockstar’s tour bus for less than a million
First you have to pay for the study on how to plan for the buses… then the actual plan to deploy the buses… the study for the plan for the infrastructure for the buses… the plan for the infrastructure for the buses… the infrastructure for the buses…. the plan to change the infrastructure for the buses (because by now the charging standards have changed or they didn’t account for cold weather or something)… the new infrastructure for the buses…..
First you have to overcome the stupid gag rule that the Boomer GOP idiots put in place to stop govts from wasting money on studies.

But yeah, the millenial lawmakers know best.
A fancy Prevost will run you a couple mil:

That’s crazy. I saw brand new ones at an RV show for under half a million, and they had 4 levels with all the goodies.
They are quire expensive since the majority are still hand-made. That Prevost posted above is mostly hand-assembled on a chassis. The street buses aren’t much different. Very pricey to have a team of professional assemblers.
To others’ points – buses are a terrible investment. Super expensive to build and maintain. Then they have zero resale value. A few years out, a 1.5M bus is worth about 500K, and falling. Ten years out they are worth 10K.
Maybe part of the 1.7B is for grid and generation upgrades? Hah, I crack myself up.
What does a fleet of busses charging at night pull, anyway?
“We are turning down your AC, citizen – the busses need charging”
That is also true.
“Facing a possible ban on considering race in admissions, some top schools are devising alternative ways to foster diversity on campus.”
Already trying to keep their racist policies in place, in the worst case scenario.
I really, really hope the court rules the right way on this, but I think Roberts and kavanaugh are pretty unlikely to rule that way.
7-2 decision on native adoptions should also temper expectations for opponents of affirmative action.
Criticizing the government is a threat to our democracy. Or something.
Garland: “Some have chose to attack the integrity of the Justice Department by claiming that we do not treat cases alike. This constitutes an attack on an institution that is essential to American democracy… Nothing could be further from the truth.”
Fauci is The Science. Garland is The Law. Obedience is Good Think, Comrade.
‘an institution that is essential to American democracy’
Pre -Ulysses Grant we didn’t have democracy.
But you can’t hold a whole fraternity responsible for the behavior of a few, sick twisted individuals. For if you do, then shouldn’t we blame the whole fraternity system? And if the whole fraternity system is guilty, then isn’t this an indictment of our educational institutions in general? I put it to you, Greg – isn’t this an indictment of our entire American society? Well, you can do whatever you want to us, but we’re not going to sit here and listen to you badmouth the United States of America. Gentlemen!
If I believed in God, I would be asking how that level of hubris didn’t qualify for a lightning bolt to the dome right about now.
Looks like between just the problem of population bust (most rapidly aging population on the planet), and the fact they can’t pretend to have a booming economy anymore, the CCP is looking at some real shit coming their way.

I took the youngest kid to her college orientation at Indiana State this weekend. The first day didn’t go well, she thought the students helping with orientation were weird and she hated their use of pronouns. We live in a very small conservative corner of Indiana so it was a culture shock for her. But she’ll be in the business department, and those guys are all middle ages white guys who look like me. She’s in the honors program, and they have their own set of electives such as Science Fiction and Horror (they study Lovecraft), and a discussion of movies from the summer of 1982. She settled on a course about Greek and Roman culture. They also have their own set of dorms and study lounges in a building she can access with a key card. So I really like that.
I get the idea there are two sides to the school. To the general population it’s about diversity and pronouns, but they still emphasize academic rigor and they are proud of that. At least the business department and the honors college seem to be down to brass tacks.
We are very lucky, her birth mom is a disable vet so she gets free tuition and after a few scholarships, she’s taking out $2500 in loans for the year, and the out of pocket amount is about $1800. I was talking to a guy who hasn’t live in the state long enough, so his kid gets the out of state rate and he’s on the hook for $10 for ONE semester.
Make that $10K per semester.
It sounds like she found a good corner of the school to avoid that nonsense. Congrats!
I’d still be cautious, but I hope that is the case. My honors program in college (admittedly, this was new York) was ahead of the curve if anything. Luckily the engineering departments didn’t yet play that game besides going in on women in stem shit.
Why would you do this to your kid?
(Go Boilers!)
I’m a Purdue grad, Mrs. TOK went to IU. The kid wants to study forensic accounting and this was the only state school that offered it, and it’s still a minor. I do like that it’s not a huge school, she has social anxiety and I think this will be easier for her.
Peterson pleaded not guilty to 11 charges, including seven counts of felony child neglect and three of culpable negligence derived from each of the 10 victims fatally shot or wounded on the third floor of the school’s 1200 building. He also faces one count of perjury, in part for telling investigators he heard only two or three gunshots after arriving at the scene while other witnesses said they’d heard more.
These are state criminal charges. DeShaney v. Winnebago County and Town of Castle Rock v. Gonzales were both about claims under the 14th amendment and Federal law, respectively. Neither of those cases matter here.
Thierry’s former staffers told Oldershausen that in March of 2021 two flower pots were delivered to her office—one of which was eventually thrown by Thierry at her then-legislative assistant Yisel Covarrubias. Covarrubias and other former staffers alleged Thierry was upset she wasn’t told immediately when the pots were delivered.
She’s following in the footsteps of Klobuchar and Harris.

The race is on
Delaware State Sen. Sarah McBride, who announced a congressional bid on Monday, would be the country’s first transgender member of Congress if she is elected.
“It’s clear that diversity in government is necessary for us to not just ensure we have a healthy democracy but also to truly deliver for people,” she told The News Journal in an interview published Monday.
While McBride is aware of the potential to make history if she wins her House bid and the diversity her voice would bring to Capitol Hill, “ultimately, I’m not running to be a trans member of Congress,” she said.
“We must have diversity. That’s why I want to go to Congress and vote in lockstep with my progressive friends.”
Which locker room will it use for the Congressional Gym?
No, that’s not clear. In fact, it isn’t clear that it matters one whit versus integrity and competence, which appear to be negative selectors over the last 50 years (probably more, I know… see Samuel Clemens et alia).
Well, he/she has the “lying” part of the job requirements down.
There are more Libertarian voters than Transpeople in Delaware. So, surely, it will step aside to give them a voice first.
Today in Bernie Sanders acolyte is just fucking stupid news….

Sometimes I struggle in the beer section to find exactly what I want, but I will take overwhelming choices over Bud/Miller/Coors as my choices.
I often spend forty minutes, OR MORE, deciding between ribeye or strip…
¿Porque no los dos?
(Though, seriously, get the ribeye).
Sometimes I get ribeye’d out.
ribeye…meh.
I don’t spend that much time cooking and eating it.
Weird flex.
If those bastards try to take away my choice when deciding what brand of crickets I get my protein from, I swear I’ll…… Well I’ll be really mad.
The variety at the grocery store has become overwhelming, @flamingpetty writes. “Single-option stores” may be the solution.
Commu-fascism is always the solution with you cuntes.
We have single option stores, but between Aldi/Trader Joes/Costco/etc, the selection of which SOS store may be overwhelming to these people.
SOS doesn’t work because Aldi cottage cheese.
Friendship is the only cottage cheese I will eat. The bigger brands don’t get it right.
I don’t eat cottage cheese, but the Aldi brand dairy (Friendly Farms?) for everything else has been fine. Some of the private branded items are crap like the Aldi Pringles, but then there are the Aldi Jalapeno chips.
I’ve never been to any of the stores mentioned; do they really only sell one brand of everything?!
Trader Joe’s yes. Aldi mixes in some name brand items.
Generally as single “store” brand.
I bet that twit has no trouble at all picking candidates when voting.
I’ve lost track of which Soviet defector wrote this, but related to this thread:
“I stood in the aisle looking at every imaginable variety of toothpaste. An explosion of colors, sizes, & flavors. And I was paralyzed. I could not decide. I saw Americans walk to the display & easily make their choices—but I could not. I realized in that moment that I had never really made a choice in my life. The State had assigned me to my school, my profession, my apartment, my job. Even when consumer goods were available, I had only one ‘brand’ of shoes, soap, or…toothpaste. Standing there among these Americans so easily making decisions about matters large & small in their lives—I felt like a child among adults”
“According to the American Time Use Survey, an average grocery trip takes more than 40 minutes.”
…………………..
“In fact, the basic task of feeding ourselves is replete with microdecisions.”
We need to get back to a more sensible time when people spent every waking moment trying to scrape together a meal.
At 32 years old, McBride jump-started her political career more than a decade ago, when, as an intern, she became the first openly trans person to work in the Obama administration. She also served on the steering committee of Trans United for Hillary, a group that aimed to organize trans people and allies to support Hillary Clinton’s presidential bid in 2016.
Three years ago, McBride gained more than 70 percent of the general election vote to win her current Wilmington-based state Senate seat — and ran unopposed in the following election.
Thing of the People.
A normal person would see a therapist, but an intellectual wants to completely reform society. As he said, “People need less choice, not more.”
Life was so much better and simpler when the servants just put food on the table in front of you and you ate it.
Employees accused a Toyota plant in Kansas City of being “disrespectful” after it served only watermelon as a part of a Juneteenth celebration, according to FOX4.
They should have served fish heads and rice.
My bet: There were hot dogs and other things, but those went fast and the only thing left when that person arrived was watermelon.
That does seem more likely.
Not only that, but they were guilty of overserving!

AI generated porn based upon user-provided parameters. Not really sexy, in fact totally bizarre a lot of the time (one attempt created two women with only one set of legs, another created a woman with a penis for a tongue). Interesting nonetheless to see what the computer comes up with.
Oh damn. Link didn’t work.
With apologies to the B-52s…. “Lovecraft, baby — Lovecraft!”
Oh lord… as if the body horror that AI already comes up with at the baseball stadium or whatnot wasn’t already unsettling enough.
Finally some justice for the poor downtrodden pubsec unions in Minnesoda. They won’t be anyone’s political pawns anymore!!!
This is going to work out great. One of the DFL’s biggest supporters is now able to really plunder the public coffers without those meanies in the GOP being able to stop them.
And in super-fucking sad news…a super nice guy has passed away.
He was my neighbor. They loaded him up on the gurney Saturday afternoon and he was sitting up and seemed ok. But the local sheriff’s dept had been sitting out in front since that evening and we were just hoping it was in support for his family, not sitting vigil.I walked across this morning to see how things were going and they told me he’d passed.
Shit. Kenny was a really nice guy.
Uh oh, TPTB are up to something. I this comment will look weird shortly.

DEMOCRACY!
There is little doubt Biden will coast toward the nomination. While early polls have shown surprising amounts of support for Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist with many views outside the party’s mainstream, the Democratic National Committee has not scheduled any primary debates and is slated to strip convention delegates from candidates like Kennedy who compete in unsanctioned nominating contests in Iowa and New Hampshire. Interest groups who could provide important backing for a challenger are instead flocking to Biden’s side.
“If anyone had the balls to take him on who is legitimate — like a [Michigan Gov.] Gretchen Whitmer or a [Sen. Raphael] Warnock — they’d become a legend and they’d be the nominee,” the progressive Democratic strategist said, requesting anonymity to freely criticize their party’s leader. “But the thing is, you can’t take him on, because there is no primary. There are no debates. There’s nothing going on.”
The fix, she is in. We’re all so very fortunate Biden saved us from the autocratic manipulations of the dastardly orange man.
Slated to strip convention delegates from candidates like Kennedy who compete in unsanctioned nominating contests in Iowa and New Hampshire…
Democracy indeed!
. . . . strip convention delegates from candidates like Kennedy who compete in unsanctioned nominating contests in Iowa and New Hampshire.
As someone that is sick to death of the circus around the caucuses, the Dem party can go fuck themselves over the methods used to derail Iowa and New Hampshire.
Democrats don’t really do elections. They rig them.
Eh, I think Biden is done.
When whoever (probably the DOD) nixed the Wallace nomination for NATO chief, they effectively called an end to full-blown war with Russia.
I don’t think it’s coincidence that we’re now seeing more and more information on Joe’s corruption. They’re going to retire him.
The real question is who we’re going to get in his place. Gruesome Newsom is probably first in line.
Yeah it won’t be RFKJr and I don’t care how much support there is.
It will be an empty vessel that the Borg can fill with its evil plans.
The Drive-Through: Threat or Menace?
Drive-thrus promise hungry drivers ease, convenience and a juicy burger. But long lines of cars waiting for orders spill out into U.S. roads in every state from chains like Chick-fil-A, McDonald’s, Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts. And city officials, urban planners and critics say the model is failing modern cities.
Magnets of traffic and congestion, drive-thrus discourage walking, public transit use and visits to neighboring businesses. They also lead to accidents with pedestrians, cyclists and other cars, and contradict the environmental and livability goals of many communities.
A host of cities and regions want the sprawl to stop: Atlanta lawmakers will vote this summer on whether to ban new drive-thrus in the popular Beltline area. Minneapolis; Fair Haven, New Jersey; Creve Coeur, Missouri; Orchard Park, New York, and other cities have banned new drive-thrus in recent years. Some cities in Southern California, such as Long Beach in 2019, have passed temporary moratoriums blocking new developments. Restrictions have also been considered in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Mesa, Arizona.
Won’t somebody think of the poor city planners and urbanist elites?
*Personally, I hate drive throughs. Never use ’em. Also, they left off the worst violater, In n Out.
Trending now:
How dare they eat food!
I don’t like drive throughs because I don’t like eating in the car. It always leaves a mess, and I like having my food on a table while I eat it.

Huh, that worked for once.
“We’re here, we’re queer, we’re coming for your children”
Forty year of outreach upended in less than a year.
Update on the coup that wasn’t
“@YouTube has SUSPENDED @BlazeTV over my recent video covering Ellen Page’s mental illness, specifically her admitted experiences with self-harm & her “trans” identity.
We are NOT bending the knee to censorship, so here’s the full video that got @BlazeTV nuked:”
https://twitter.com/TheLaurenChen/status/1673043240684257280
Suspending people over deadnaming is stupid, especially if they are already famous. Any movie clip or old video with the actor’s name on YouTube is still going to be “Ellen Page”.
But chains trying to address congestion by adding more lanes just encourage more cars to come. Accidents are so common that personal injury lawyers around the country specifically advertise to people injured at drive-thrus. Experts say pedestrian safety can be improved by tightly managing access along arterial roads and locating drive-thrus away from them.
Drive-thrus also do not support neighboring businesses, Dixon of Stantec said, as people typically just grab their food and drive off.
A better, safer fast-food model in these areas are restaurants and bars with sit-down options that contribute to walkable neighborhoods, he said, or on the first floor of multi-floor buildings.
Why can’t we force people to behave as we prefer? The world should conform to the clockwork universe in our heads.
“chains trying to address congestion by adding more lanes just encourage more cars to come”
Giving customers what they want? Can’t have that.
“Drive-thrus also do not support neighboring businesses”
As opposed to people who sit down at fast food restaurants.
Are they planning to ban take-out, too? Because drive-through is just take-out through a window instead of over a counter.
“How we gonna class up this place with all the poors driving in for cheap food?”
