So are we to assume she has been able to demonstrate this with regard to the Trump campaign?
He got away with it in 2016, and if he’s running in 2024, that constitutes the recurring basis they’re looking for. That’s how you progressive lawfare.

I regret missing Raven Nation’s late night article. First comment – 7:04 pm. My bedtime – 7:00 pm.
A lot of food for thought there. I may have to write a lengthy response.
Off-Grid Housing Gaining in Popularity in Quest for More Affordable Living
I was looking at buying a house out in rural Montana. Seems many homes there come with its own massive propane tank and generator (and sometimes even a backup), and no connection to the grid.
But can you grow your own propane?
Kind of: https://www.allpowerlabs.com/products/product-overview. Although even their smallest unit seems like overkill for a single family home.
I find wood gassification interesting as a concept, but beyond my technical capabilities. An all-in-one generator makes it more convenient, but what I’d really like to see is a way to capture and store the gas so you don’t have to consume it as it is created.
The capture and storage is more difficult and prohibitive on a small scale. Not that it can’t be done, but it won’t be fun.
The problem we can’t get over when we see those on TV, is that often you have to shit in a bucket.
At least the Portland article talked about actual revenue lost.
I don’t think it’s going to get better for the big cities as the return to office isn’t really taking, and (at least around here) the cities were dependent on the office workers’ local taxes to keep the coffers full.
I’m actually really tired of every single frickin’ economic story being mostly about tax revenue. Why, you’d almost think the entire economy exists for the sole purpose of generating revenue for the government.
In the eyes of way too many THAT is the only reason to permit economic activity.
It’s an important part of the death spiral of big cities.
The population increases, so the physical infrastructure expands to meet the needs of the population.
After a few generations, the infrastructure begins to decay. Maintaining the infrastructure, or even worse replacing the infrastructure, becomes more costly than building it to start with.
The population flees the decaying infrastructure, and the tax base collapses.
Then the infrastructure collapses from neglect.
So, the loss of tax revenue is an important bit of news. But is is only part of the larger story that gets ignored.
I’m up. I didn’t know there was a 7:00 A.m. Have to get my happy ass halfway across town for fingerprinting for a 1099 gig, then go another halfway across town for my therapy appointment. I’m tahred, waiting for all the stimulants to kick in.
Me: Yes, I know I have high blood pressure. I’m in pain, stressed, and almost always angry.
Him: You’re also on a carload of stimulants.
Me: … Oh. Yeah. That too.
What the fuck? That’s a death sentence.
Shhhh! Don’t tell them that! Darwinism shall prevail.
An entire field full of red flags popped up for me right off the bat. Yeah, let Darwinism prevail. I never had anything to do with that stuff and still won’t.
6X per year? Death sentence indeed, but then that was the goal all along, wasn’t it?

When I hear people use the term “mild myocarditis,” I want to beat the living shit out of them.
Well, it’s a good thing nobody can ever be held responsible for any of that.
“mild myocarditis”
Or “short lived, and patient recovers/issue resolves”. No it doesn’t. The main diagnostic of myocarditis is elevated troponin levels. Troponins are internal to heart cells; if levels are elevated in the bloodstream, that means heart muscle cells have been damaged and destroyed. So what ‘resolves’ is the ongoing release of troponins – i.e. heart muscle cells have *stopped* being damaged or destroyed. The ones that already were do not fix themselves and do not get replaced. If you have clinical myocarditis IT DOES NOT RESOLVE. The damage is permanent, it doesn’t resolve even when the causitive initial insult stops.
And they will still say effective.
It is effective in advancing their agenda. Which has nothing to do with people being healthy and free.
Extremely effective at bringing in a ton of cash to certain companies, who then make big donations to almost all politicians.

And there it is – Baltimore real estate is imploding, but what really matters is how much money the government will be able to extract. Screw the property owners and the other little people who are being crushed – they obviously don’t count.
And never a thought given to the idea that maybe it can be a good thing for the too-damn high rent to go down a little already.
With far fewer people coming in to the city every day, there is much less demand for city services, so why do they need the same amount of revenue for fewer people?
Unless of course commuters are being forced to subsidize vote-buying schemes that simply benefit the cohort that votes for a living.
Look, those cronies aren’t going to funnel money to themselves! And all of those pensions must be paid for those sweetheart deals that got the unions to vote for us back in the day. Priorities, man! You think we fleece the rest of the countryside around us to pay for things like roads or sewers or something? Ha!
Pensions. It’s always pensions.

Tilray to buy Shock Top and 7 other Anheuser-Busch-owned beverage brands
https://www.craftbrewingbusiness.com/featured/tilray-to-buy-shock-top-and-7-other-anheuser-busch-owned-beverage-brands/
Looks like AB-InBev is getting out of the craft segment (or at least reducing their exposure to it). From memory, I believe both Shock Top and HiBall were developed in house.
I figured that would light the Nephilium signal.
I don’t know how many other small US brands they hold.
Quite a few, but they shuttered several of them earlier this year and spun a couple of them off.
Still own Kona Big Wave which I used to like but haven’t had in a while.
I know Shock Top was. It was to compete with Blue Moon.
Of course, since they own Hoegaarden, they already have a superior product.
Shock Top, bleh. Do they make a beer that isn’t overly sweet?
I do like Breckenridge though, the Christmas Ale in particular.
I stopped buying Breck when AB bought them.
Its funny, because I didnt with Goose Island, at least for a while.
I think it was because Breckenridge had great anti-macro beer commercials, so it seemed like a total sellout.

I watched this last night. Very good movie.
unfortunately, it was on freevee, which I had never tried before. Apparently, their target viewership is promiscuous homosexuals, since it seemed as if half the ads were for some sort of HIV drugs.
Freevee is the old IMDB.tv which is now owned by Amazon.
Step up, prep up!
Just move to a state where knowingly exposing people to HIV isn’t a crime.
Promiscuous homosexuals…some bs survey recently claimed that for that crowd the average is 8x per day? Huh? What the hell, that seems like it would produce a lower life expectancy than being a pro hitman or a suicide bomber. Besides, who have the time or opportunity for that kind of foolishness?
And the other half were for Diabetes drugs?
Colitis.
All butt stuff, all the time.
Was it that one ad with Trannysaurus?
I see we’re up to 9 1/2 minutes for how long Chauvin kneeled on George Floyd’s neck. Didn’t we start at six or seven. Even Wikipedia references “almost nine” and that quote oddly redirected from “8 minutes, 46 seconds”. So the number is definitely growing.
The question no one can answer though is how was it racist?
If George Floyd was white, Derek Chauvin would only have knelt on his neck for 8 minutes? Seriously though, if George Floyd was white, and everything else happened exactly as it had, the video would have never even made the news.
Kinda like fisherman with the one they caught but you never saw.
I’ll wager that a toxicology report was not mentioned during the trial.
The judge most likely disallowed it. Can’t have any doubt cast on the culpability of the murdering white supremacist.
It was and was framed in the “If you have found someone dead with the level of fentanyl that Floyd had would fentanyl be considered the cause of death?” way. The answer was, of course, “yes”.
Still looks to me like he swallowed his whole stash when the cops showed up.
He went from coherent and cooperative to combative and out of his mind while they were talking to him. I think the cops understood what was happening. They probably should have treating him for the OD, but that’s not their job and not easy with a guy that size who isn’t cooperating.
Jabbing someone with narcan isn’t that difficult.
Did they have any with them?
Would it have worked on the level of fentanyl he was carrying?
Would it be a good idea to jab a needle into somebody who is resisting the middle of a budding race riot?
“Did they have any with them?”
I don’t know, but EMS would.
“Would it have worked on the level of fentanyl he was carrying?”
Yes.
“Would it be a good idea to jab a needle into somebody who is resisting the middle of a budding race riot?”
It sounds like there were enough responders to restrain him.
I thought Narcan was an inhalant. Or is it both?
It’s both. They make nose things that go on the end of a syringe. You can also put it up someone’s ass, which is useful for babies.

What do the fans get wrong? They don’t love her enough.

Her exploits mostly consist of self-aggrandizing proggie signaling.
What the fans get wrong is not actually tuning in to her performance. They only catch the highlight reels.
quite rightly remember that her otherworldly assist to Wambach in the 2011 World Cup was no fluke.
The article links to this clip. It’s a good cross, but also hard to ignore the Brazilian goalie’s complete fuck up.

Using slave labor and with no environmental controls on any of it to mitigate pollution.
Hey, slavery is the ultimate in green power solutions!
I’m curious – how is the federal government “protecting sacred lands” not an establishment of religion?

There’s that. And I’m curious why the federal government is prohibiting the utilization of a strategic resource.
No kidding. The difference between owning an iPhone and a Motorola. Also unlike Tesla which designed from the start for all the systems to be updated OTA none of Ford’s legacy systems was ever designed to be exposed from a security perspective to OTA updates.
Ford—like many other automakers—outsources a lot of its small electronic components. We’re talking about engine control units, infotainment units, and other specialty bits that require not just building hardware, but also building machine-level code and complex software to interact with a vehicle.
“We farmed out all the modules that control the vehicles to our suppliers because we could bid them against each other,” said Farley. “So Bosch should do the body control module, someone else to do the seat control module, someone else to do the engine control module. We have about 150 of these modules with semiconductors all through the car.”
https://www.thedrive.com/news/ford-ceo-explains-why-legacy-automakers-take-forever-to-issue-ota-updates
Hmmm… car not doing OTA updates? Wait… that’s supposed to be a bad thing?!? I don’t want critical systems, much less one ton+ heavy machinery pulling updates wirelessly and whenever it feels like — especially not given the quality record of the software industry for the last twenty years.
(Of course — I say this hypothetically… because I remain dedicated to driving my ’03 until I can’t anymore (for whatever reason that is… gas finally banned… engine craps out… I just keel over and die… who knows….)
Same here, SDF-7 (if that’s even your real name).
Given the amount of software recalls – 9 out of 10 times for mandated emissions, mileage and safety systems it is painful for both the manufacturer and the customer.

JFC, what a shitshow of engineering
The automakers assemble systems. I worked on Wall St. when GM spun out Delphi.
When they all did that everybody was happy. Now upstart manufacturers in the US and China have changed the dynamic.
It’s ridiculous. They don’t innovate on anything other than packaging and assembly.
Just put it on the CAN bus. It’ll be fine.
Precisely. A network that was never designed for security.

All I can say is on the Romanian programming forums there is a very bad opinion on the quality of embedded automotive software done at Continental and similar

Biden has created four other national monuments during his presidency — one honors Emmett Till, and the others protect land in Nevada, Texas and Colorado.
But the politics of Biden’s Western swing are broader than preservation. It is about emphasizing what the administration has already done to invest in the economy and the climate — because many Americans just don’t know about it.
Those traitorous racists at FOX refuse to tell America how wonderful their President is.

HSINCHU, Taiwan & STUTTGART, Germany & MUNICH & EINDHOVEN, Netherlands–(BUSINESS WIRE)–TSMC (TWSE: 2330, NYSE: TSM), Robert Bosch GmbH, Infineon Technologies AG (FSE: IFX / OTCQX: IFNNY), and NXP Semiconductors N.V. (NASDAQ: NXPI) today announced a plan to jointly invest in European Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (ESMC) GmbH, in Dresden, Germany to provide advanced semiconductor manufacturing services. ESMC marks a significant step towards construction of a 300mm fab to support the future capacity needs of the fast-growing automotive and industrial sectors, with the final investment decision pending confirmation of the level of public funding for this project. The project is planned under the framework of the European Chips Act.
The planned fab is expected to have a monthly production capacity of 40,000 300mm (12-inch) wafers on TSMC’s 28/22 nanometer planar CMOS and 16/12 nanometer FinFET process technology, further strengthening Europe’s semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem with advanced FinFET transistor technology and creating about 2,000 direct high-tech professional jobs. ESMC aims to begin construction of the fab in the second half of 2024 with production targeted to begin by the end of 2027.
The planned joint venture will be 70% owned by TSMC, with Bosch, Infineon, and NXP each holding 10% equity stake, subject to regulatory approvals and other conditions. Total investments are expected to exceed 10 billion euros consisting of equity injection, debt borrowing, and strong support from the European Union and German government. The fab will be operated by TSMC.

Global air and ocean temperatures soared to a record high in July, according to the EU’s climate change service Copernicus, deepening concern among climate scientists at a time when a spate of heat records suggest the planet has entered uncharted territory.
The EU’s Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) said Tuesday that the global average surface air temperature in July was confirmed to be the highest on record for any month.
July was found to be a whopping 1.5 degrees Celsius warmer than the average for the 1850-1900 period and 0.33 degrees Celsius warmer than the previous warmest month of July 2019.
——-
The data, which is collated from the measurement of satellites, ships, aircraft and weather stations around the world, follows a flurry of record-breaking heat waves across multiple regions.
Vast parts of Europe, North Africa, the Middle East and Asia have suffered from scorching heat in recent weeks, while South American countries have been gripped by record-breaking temperatures in the middle of winter.
Baby it’s hot outside.

Gaslighting is so commonly discussed that Merriam-Webster deemed the expression its word of the year in 2022, after experiencing a 1,740% increase in searches for the term. But experts say there are a lot of misconceptions around what gaslighting is and isn’t.
——-
Gaslighting is actually “a highly calculating form of manipulation — which involves the destabilization — of one individual by another over a protracted period of time,” Vermani said.
“Most commonly, gaslighting — also referred to as coercive control — is carried out by someone in a position of trust who is in close contact with the target,” she added. “It is a complex and usually deliberate means of intentionally controlling an individual, which is carried out over an extended period of time.”
People are misusing this term. It has nothing to do with politics.

That’s a man baby!
You’ve got to turn basically decent people, that have gone through their entire lives thinking “killing is bad,” into military troops that will kill as commanded without hesitation. Demonizing your enemy is an important tool in that effort.
Is that a dude?

“The most fundamental problem with the Make All Votes Count Initiative is that the open primary provision violates the D.C. Democratic Party members’ and voters’ right to freedom of association guaranteed by the First and Fifth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution,” the lawsuit stated.
Arguing on freedom of association grounds? Coming from them, that’s spectacularly bold.

nsfw maybe or not who knows with these tings
Trapped in school ipad hell. Multiple login issues for daughter’s ipad. Resolving one at a time.
I though kids these days were all tech whizzes
I hate that crap
Kids should not be in school in August! They should be out playing in the sun…errr…I mean toiling in the fields!
They shouldn’t need an iPad for school, either.
Wax tablet man?
Slate and chalk.
I got my chem by making a 4×8 blackboard and going through about 100 buckets of colored sidewalk chalk.
My apt had a 24×16 living room and it soon filled up with kids needing tutoring. I made some serious bank with that.
👍🏻
1. Yes, it’s stupid starting school this early.
2. No more physical textbooks. Everything is on the iPad. It’s good, in that she won;t be schlepping 20 pounds of books back and forth every day. It’s bad in that it is less physical interaction with the world. To me that means an inferior/limited education.
3. It was a VPN problem, the whole thing needed a cleanup and restart. Problem solved after 1 1/2 hours. What kid is going to solve that?
w0t?
We weren’t even allowed to take the textbooks out of the classroom. Our homework came off a ditto or mimeograph machine… *remembers the odor of the blue inked pages…*
Dittomaster! Mmmm.

No textbooks out of the classroom? Dude, that’s rough! 😕
That would mean the school district might have to actually replace some.
Can’t trust the students. So they were stored in the shelves by the windows and passed out when the class used them.
The school district can rewrite the History textbooks at will! 😃
Yes. There’s that too. I used fifteen-year-old textbooks in the early 1980s, with a giant list of prior owners written in the inside cover. Our job on day one was to document every damage on every page, so we would not be liable for it at the end of the year. No history could be changed on those. What would you do, add a xerox flier?

Why is it that girls’ handwriting is almost always more rounded than boys’?
That sounds worse for their eyes.
Worst tech crisis we had was when the pencil sharpener slipped off its gears.
Give her a composition book with the TV static-pattern cover and a #2 pencil.
Yes. Using an iPad does not teach important skills, like organizing your test papers and keeping all your shit in one place where you can find it. The iPad does that for you, so you ever develop the ability to understand organizing a hot mess. There are so many other negatives too, but that is a big one.

Heinous crimes
The latest charges leveled against former President Donald Trump were brought under Reconstruction-era laws. And though those laws were written to combat the Ku Klux Klan, they are precisely applicable to his brazen attempts to overturn the 2020 election.
The law Trump is charged under, also known as Section 241, is part of a series of statutes known as the Enforcement Acts (also known as the KKK Acts) that were enacted in 1870-1871 to protect newly freed Black Americans and their allies from “conspiracies against civil rights.”
That broad term is meant to capture the various, creative mechanisms that can be used to suppress fundamental rights, from going “in disguise on the highway” with hoods and guns — the statute’s explicit reference to the KKK’s terror tactics — to more sophisticated, non-violent forms of oppression.
The stakes are impossibly high, for the defendant as well as the country. The most serious charge carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison, even as Trump remains the Republican front-runner.
——-
“If this prosecutor can prove the facts as alleged, I can’t see how there would not be a conviction” unless Trump is exonerated for purely political reasons, he said.
——-
Finally, any argument that Trump lacked the specific intent to interfere with voting rights — perhaps because he truly believed he was the rightful winner of the election — must contend with the Justice Department’s descriptions of multiple instances when Trump was “notified repeatedly that his claims were untrue,” but “deliberately disregarded the truth.”
Trump’s unprecedented actions in 2020 have again taken us into uncharted territory: a current front-runner for the presidency is facing charges of undermining our democracy, and with the DOJ’s case, there is a plausible chance of conviction.
Blah blah blah presumption of guilt. The writer never even gets around to saying, but presumably this is a federal law we’re talking about.
Trump is like totally KKK anyway so it makes perfect sense.
Ah, the tried and true assertion that the seriousness of the charges are what’s important, not that it’s at best a massive stretch to say this law applies.

The solution is for men to start wearing low-slung pants and “showing some neck.”
That’s an unalloyed Good Thing.

LOCK HIM UP
And Trump hasn’t stopped attempting to obstruct justice.
On Sunday he called Jack Smith “deranged”, and in another all-caps message he accused Smith of waiting to bring the case until “right in the middle” of his election campaign.
In another post he asserted that he would never get a “fair trial” with Chutkan and jurors from Washington DC.
These statements directly violate the conditions of Trump’s release pending trial.
——-
Trump is now under the supervision of the court, as would be any criminal defendant after an arraignment.
But he will continue to test the willingness and ability of the court to treat him like any other criminal defendant unless he’s reined in.
The court must fully assert the rule of law during these proceedings, even if that requires threatening Trump with jail pending his trial. And if he continues to refuse to abide by the conditions of his release, it might be time to actually jail him.
The prosecution is free to make accusations against him. The press is free to call him names and accuse him of all manners of crimes and transgressions. But he must be gagged and locked up if necessary to prevent him from undermining the case against him.
How furiously can these banana republic monkeys shovel thier
Shit before people are fed up?
They’ve “Bolsanaro”d Trump. Anyone who paid attention to Brazil’s presidential election (where the US government was directly helping Lula, which was admitted after the fact) knows that was the opposite of legitimate. Bolsanaro could not legally advertise his own campaign because his campaign “lied” according to a make believe judge interpreting fictitious law to arrive at a preordained conclusion.
There is precedent for the current behavior of our banana republic
