Greetings from Atlanta, where I’m stuck for the weekend. Originally I had really been looking forward to this trip- if there’s anything I love, it’s Georgian food and wine. I could almost taste the pkhali, the khatchapuri, khinkali, the amazing Saperavis and Rkatsitelis… and then I got here and all I could find was Waffle House and fried chicken. I am incredibly disappointed.
Though I am not in a celebratory mood, others are, especially those with birthdays today. And that list includes a guy who went insane trying to paint Dalmatians; the man who inflicted billions of clown nightmares on children; a guy who was in control; a guy who managed to be in the middle of so many parts of jazz history; a guy who represented the worst of the Reagan era; yet another great argument for term limits; a cabinet chimp who has been delightfully ineffective; a woman who really should have said, “Et tu?”; one of the great world experts in solid state physics; and a guy making a pile for watching football games.
Links ensue.
This is totally about the science, not about grifting and politics.
Well, now we know why he wants to run for president. He’s not just a grifter, he’s a remarkably stupid grifter.
“You need to learn from our culture: surrender.”
Team Red tries to pick a loser.
“He stands like a statue, becomes part of the machine.”
He made this statement from inside of a locker where he’d been shoved in.
One more reason for me to hate the UAW and wish for its ugly demise.
And the Old Man has been on a bop kick this weekend. This one appealed to me this morning.
Isn’t all fruit kosher?
From what I recall from my grocery store kosher training, produce has to be insect free to be kosher. I don’t know if that means you can just use insecticides, or if it’s up to the buyer to check it for themself.
WEF is going to be sad about that.
“one of the great world experts in solid state physics”
???
You didn’t know?
Thanks, I did not. That page looks older than you.
That was one of my favorites on my browser in the early 00’s. I stopped sending it to Jr engineers some time in the 2010’s as they didn’t find it funny or relevant.
Nowadays they’d probably report you to HR for a toxic work environment.
Probably as disappointed as I was the last time back when I couldn’t find a Waffle House that still served a country ham plate.
I mean… what the hell, guys?!?
Morning, all. Now I want some damn country ham. Sigh.
Actual country ham is a huge PITA as far as keeping stock.
/Fmr. Waffle House Mgr., Esq.
Really? That surprises me… it is salt cured and should keep for a year at room temperature, shouldn’t it? I mean… kind of the whole point and all.
I’ve bought some at Kroger when I’m back on that side of the country and ordered slices via the mail over here (the “get a whole shank from Virginia just seems like overkill” and it never quite tastes the same. I don’t know if I’m soaking it too much (tried water and cola per various recipes), too little, or what…. or maybe I’m trying to match a mythical memory moment that nothing can actually recreate… just know I used to damned well love that plate… country ham, eggs, scattered and smothered hash browns and raisin toast. Good eating.
Exactly. It has to be re-constituted. So there is a time delay. Regular wet ham, you can just set a par.
I love it without the soaking – salty and hard.
For our wedding breakfast (really a brunch) we told the caterer that we wanted real country ham biscuits. She (old lady who should have understood) priced it out and was getting close to time, and came to us like a week out with “Don’t you want normal ham? Country ham is coming in at more than $100 higher.” Nope, we’ll pay. So we joke that we had “$100 biscuits” at the reception.
Your mistake, Atlanta isn’t really Georgia. Anyone in the state outside the city will tell you that.
Frankly, Savannah is kind of a weird semi-state as well… but much more fun to visit. Going inside the Perimeter is only done when you have to.
Correct. It’s kinda like a tumor trying to consume and kill the rest of Georgia.
“He stands like a statue, becomes part of the machine.”
I like Elton’s cover better.
Keep that farkatke egg off my pizza and I’ll be happy.
I’m kind of wondering about the top-of-page image (free popcorn and fundamentalist Christian message?) Did you swing by Athens to give a lecture at UGA or something? That looks like the kind of thing a couple of the recurring street preachers would be passing out….
Christians being that kind of antisemitic is truly a feat of faith over reason. I can get the Nazi/pagan angle – reject the whole Abrahamic God thing, but not someone who will turn around and praise Jesus.
Progressives exist. Why not Jew-hating Christians?
The Jew-hating variety seem to inhabit the liberal Protestant and AME churches.
I have yet to meet one, but I go to conservative churches.
I dunno, the whole your messiah was born a Jew? I know cognitive dissonance is a theory – but really, anyone who can hold those two thoughts in their head at once – that’s more empty space than an atom.
From what little I recall I think it is something along the lines of “The Jews were the Chosen People until Christ came and they rejected Him, and now Christians are through the Grace of God and Rejecting Jews are (like Lucifer) against God’s plan” or something.
But seriously… have y’all forgotten about the last 2000 years of history? Europe was full of Jew-hating Christians not that long ago (now they’re just full of Jew-hating immigrants or Jew-hating Atheists…). It isn’t that atypical, unfortunately.
No I get the Jew-hate for rejecting/crucifying the messiah (even if it was the Romans that actually did it). But this insanity says everything about Judaism is wrong – which is the ground that Jesus came from.
This is another one of those “…in the mist…” topics where I feel like I could frankly explain EVERYTHING, being one of the resident Crackers who’s also a history geek, etc.
Just don’t feel like getting into it all.
It isn’t the history that I find fascinating/weird – it’s just the flat out contradiction, pissing all over the OT while clinging to the NT. It must take a very special kind of broken brain to do that.
Well (and again, not to get into it all):
– everybody’s brain IS broken
– they’re not “clinging to the NT” – if they really were, they’d understand it
– it’s mostly the same old tribalism you see in other interactions, with self-serving leaders finding an “other” to increase their own power
With respect to most Christians in the South (kinda where we started), you’ll generally find modern dispys, who are indeed VERY pro-Israel and pro-Jew without actually knowing many Jews (just demographics). Fringes are fringes. There are also some, uhm, “racially identifiable” elements to different fringes that everybody politely doesn’t talk about.
One of my Ranger buddies is Jewish and from Tennessee (and was an AF pilot in ‘Nam) – he says it was an interesting upbringing.
everybody’s brain IS broken
If that is true, it is a very dangerous truth. I prefer to not think it true.
Fundamentalist Christians are usually pro-Jew.
Not these folks. These are the ones that show up with their wives in tow, forbidden to say anything unless directed — ranting about all other sects (Jews and Catholics in particular — but all the other Protestants as well). This was before the Internet really kicked in… so maybe nowadays they’re just content to troll forums instead of college campuses. Dunno.
Probably missing the KKK (even though they were too moderate). Very much at the fringes — but I remember well growing up in the South that there were more than a few who believed “They were the people that killed Christ” and all. (As if it was the people and not the corrupt priest caste that he obviously clashed with the whole time… idiots…)
“He stands like a statue, becomes part of the machine.”
Day-um. Not wrong, but day-um.
“I am proud that the UAW International Union is calling for a ceasefire in Israel and Palestine. From opposing fascism in WWII to mobilizing against apartheid South Africa and the CONTRA war, the @UAW has consistently stood for justice across the globe,”
WTF does that have to do with building cars?
That was my reaction as well (glad I read down first…) — like the stupid city councils, how about all you people stop virtue signalling and just focus on whatever it is you’re supposed to be doing as organizations?
Oh wait… that’ll make ’em focus harder on screwing everyone (both UAW and said city councils)…. never mind… virtue signal some more!
Agreed. All these useless virtue signalers need to shit up and sit down.
Shut up. Autocorrect curses for me now.
Sit up and shit down also works.
Capitalist lackey class traitors! /some unrepentant Trotskyite
It is a clue that the UAW has nothing to do with building cars.
I gotta say, I’m darkly enjoying the left tear itself apart over this. Commie ratfuckers like the head of the UAW, who are normally 100% behind whatever warm body the Dems prop up in front of them, are now showing their true colors like I haven’t seen in years.
I was expecting Bill Peet.
I was expecting Walt Disney, but yogurt has more culture than I do.
I was thinking Piet Mondrian.
Right…. because the kind of people who end up working at Apple know nothing about being a nerd, kid. Get over yourself and let nerd culture be self-deprecating. Oy.
With those teeth, I thought the emoji just looked British.
“Get over yourself…”
Good advice for an awful lot of people. Guess what? The world was spinning before. you got here. When you leave it is gonna keep on spinning.
Nerds without buck teeth need representation just like women with beards.
… who if I’ve heard of, I certainly don’t remember… that bodes well for his “campaign” :eyeroll:
He’s the academic equivalent of a Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton.
His main problem, other than being a racist commie, seems to be that he can’t keep it in his pants.
If Cornel West were white, he would have trouble getting a job as a middle school teacher in Cleveland. He writes and sounds like a mediocre baptist preacher.
I dont really care about the global warming scam so much as I care how many dunces buy into it.
What is to say? Cornel West.
Weasel words: “Israel’s war against Hamas”
Truth: Hamas’s declared war on Israel – Bit off more than they can chew
“In a bid to promote inclusivity and challenge stereotypes…”
Yeah, I am out half way through the first sentence
Ladies and gentlemen behold our future leaders!
I dont know why everyone is so impatient for there to be a ceasefire in the Gaza war. It is coming as sure as the sunrise.
I think the virtue signaling for a cease fire is being done BECAUSE they know it is coming. That way progressives can take credit for it.
Well, they had one for a week. To my complete amazement, it just ended, and Israel went back on the offensive. Maybe they won’t lose the war after all.
The “hiatus and hostage exchange” aspect of it is a little novel to this situation, but the pause and restart looks more like classic, deliberate warfare than the modern “perpetual operational tempo” that we have been used to for a generation. In the media, everybody’s just been seeing the exchanges and quiet, but the IDF has been:
– resting, re-arming, and re-positioning forces
– ISR’ing the everliving crap out of Gaza, and is now about to use the knowledge gained in ways they couldn’t before.
The Gazans could, but to a much lesser degree, do the former. They don’t have anywhere close to the IDF’s ability to do the ISR part. This will make all the difference. The IDF has watched virtually every movement, listened to and located virtually every communication, etc.
Armies have done this forever, until we got into the foreverwar.
I keep hearing about fears that this will spread into a wider war. I think if Hamas is not defeated, if Iran is not put on a leash those will lead to a wider war.
This bunch we have in power now really have to go. They have fucked up everything they have touched so far and if they fuck this up it may lead to the biggest disaster in history.
Well, it ended after Hamas didn’t release the amount of agreed upon hostages and launched several missiles into Israel. So I wouldn’t quite say that Israel was the one who went on the offensive.
And they didn’t provide a list of additional hostages to release.
Not sure why you thought the IDF wouldn’t go back to grinding down Hamas once the trickle of hostages ended. I’m assuming they only reluctantly agreed to the pause for political / PR reasons – must have figured they’d lose some crucial votes in the Knesset if they didn’t get back a reasonable quantity of hostages.
By the way – try Mary Mac’s Tea Room while you’re in Atlanta.
Thanks for the tout!
You’re welcome. Hope you have a good time. I was trying to decide whether I knew of any other places to recommend; been awhile since I lived there (left Tech in ’93).
You could check out the Varsity just to say you did. If so, just order like it’s 1930 and ignore the rest of the menu – get like a grilled cheese or chili dog and fries, and a Coke. I don’t know if Paschal’s is still around (regular old country cooking). Silver Skillet is supposed to be good modern Southern food, but I haven’t been there.
Do they have London Fog on the menu? It has become a favorite tea drink of mine.
But what about Mary Mac’s Mother?
“all I could find was Waffle House and fried chicken. I am incredibly disappointed.”
So wrong. So very, very wrong.
Fuck Christmas with walnuts.
That’s a really opaque euphemism.
Ummmmmm….ok.
I am not sure what to make of this any more than I know what to make of the Britney Spears physics thing.
At least it isn’t “Fuck Britney Spears with walnuts. I don’t think even Amy would be into that.

OMWC is lucky, she might have fooled him too!
Where were these teachers when I was growing up?
Well, in this case it wasn’t a teacher.

“A California woman was convicted of involuntary manslaughter Friday in the 2018 death of her boyfriend after she stabbed him over 100 times during a “cannabis-induced psychosis.”
The jury took less than four hours to find Bryn Spejcher, 32, guilty of killing her partner Chad O’Melia as she sobbed during the court appearance, according to KTLA 5.
The couple had only been together for a few weeks when Spejcher attacked O’Melia after she took two hits from his bong — a smoking device regularly used for marijuana — in May 2018….
Officers arrived at O’Melia’s residence in Thousand Oaks the following morning to find Spejcher screaming hysterically next to her boyfriend’s blood-soaked body, still holding a knife…
When the responding officers attempted to disarm Spejcher, she plunged a bread knife into her neck, according to law enforcement.
Spejcher also stabbed her dog during the rampage, according to the Ventura County Star”

I don’t think it was the weed.
Reefer madness!
Can’t say I ever got stabby on weed. Just sleepy and desirous of watching B movies.
The only thing at risk from being stabbed when I toked was food.
I am imagining her saying “Oops!” after each stab.
There are so many arguments from all sides flying around these days about the reefer that I don’t know what to believe anymore.
I do think it is irresponsible for the gummint to wet its beak on the shit.
Still should be legal though.
Agreed.
In other words, Jordan and Egypt don’t want them, and don’t even think of asking for their assistance.
Meanwhile, western countries are lectured that they have to admit millions of false “asylum” claimants from all over the world and give them free everything.
Did Vivek drop out of the race or is he just being ignored by the media? Haley is a non option for anyone but the Republican donor class. It’s gonna be Trump unless he is unable to run for whatever reason, but I wish/hope Vivek gets the win.
He’s still in. Some of his advisors left to support Trump. I don’t know that he needs advisors.
He’s doing everything he can to crater his campaign.
Just what we need: Our own Rishi Sunak.

Ya’ll gonna get fat eatin’ that.
Not at those prices.
All the fault of the religious right dontcha know….
Whatcha wanna bet she voted Dem and will again?
So, two double burgers and a gallon of fries. And the shakes. Let’s not pretend that isn’t enough lunch to feed a family of four.
And do they not have prices on the menu?
Five Guys has always been on the expensive side. Maybe I dunno, make the shit at home. 1/2 lb of beef is about 3 bucks, buns are cheap or splurge and pay 5 bucks for a pack of 4 brioche buns. Cheese is cheap and probably have it already in fridge. Fries are not complicated to make and even baked wedges are good.
Milkshake is easy to make.
People not wanting to tighten the belt then complain when they drop half a hundred on mediocre fast food, while bitching on their $1000 phone paying probably $40/mo to use it never fails to amaze me.
“You know what? We’re done. We’re absolutely done. We’re going to start cooking at home. We’re going to start just brown bagging lunch everyday”.’

I listened to an interesting Aaron Rodgers interview on Joe Rogan’s show where he discussed the NFL’s Covid policy during the 2021 season.
Since he wasn’t “vaxxed”, he had to wear a special color wristband in team facilities and work out apart from the rest of the team outside of practice. He also had to get tested for Covid every single morning, including off days. This included testing even after he got Covid from one of his vaccinated teammates.
Then, in what I assume was a freak coincidence, all the Covid testing protocols ended the last day of the regular season. No testing occurred for the playoffs.
SCIENCE!!!!!!
Scoldy McBitchface has writ a book
Cheney has written a book about President Trump’s efforts to remain in office after he had lost the 2020 election to Joe Biden. The book, Oath and Honor: A Memoir and a Warning, is also about Cheney’s rather lonely role in resisting those efforts.
It will be officially out next week, but got an early preview when CNN obtained a copy independently and published excerpts this week, ahead of an embargo. The excerpts have produced headlines across news outlets, primarily for Cheney’s treatment of McCarthy and other former colleagues.
Cheney says McCarthy was guilty of “cowardice” in his unwillingness to stand up to Trump, according to the excerpts. She says McCarthy had told her he knew Biden had won the election and she even reports that Trump himself had told McCarthy he knew it too.
——-
While Trump surely remains the central villain of Cheney’s narrative and analysis, the CNN excerpts also include scathing criticism of Republicans generally. She calls them “enablers and collaborators” who fell in line with Trump’s false claims. And she singles out both McCarthy and his still-freshly minted successor Mike Johnson of Louisiana for sharp condemnation.
She reports, according to the excerpts, that she was shocked that McCarthy went to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida to reconcile with him three weeks after the Capitol attack. The excerpts have her protesting to McCarthy with: “Mar-a-Lago, Kevin? What the hell?” Cheney reports McCarthy replied that Trump’s staff had asked him to come because the former president “wasn’t eating” and was “very depressed.”
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
“Cheney’s rather lonely role in resisting those efforts.”
Lonely, except for half the country.
Who disses Waffle House?

Biden falls down Air Force One stairs. Blame is immediately thrown onto ultra-MAGA domestic terrorists acting under the direction of Putin and his stooge Trump. War is declared. Profit!

Global strongman fantasies
The US will need to keep up sanctions against Moscow through this decade, in order to cut Russia’s energy revenues by half, a US diplomat told the Financial Times.
“This is something that we’re going to have to stick to for years to come, as long as [President Vladimir] Putin persists in this war,” Geoffrey Pyatt said, the US assistant secretary of state for energy resources.
Restricting Moscow’s oil and gas revenues through the long term will ensure that Russia cannot promptly rearm itself for any future military operations, he added, in the case that peace in Ukraine is achieved.
——-
In response to Pyatt’s comments, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters that Moscow already considered the sanctions a long-term reality.
“We also have no doubt that the United States will continue to try to put pressure on Russia and the entire system of trade and economic relations, essentially destroying the format of these relations,” he told reporters.
Despite diminishing outlooks for Russia’s role in global energy markets, sanctions against it haven’t always proved effective, and the country’s energy output has been snapped up by other customers, such as India and China.
“The world economy is not limited to the US economy,” Peskov added.
Meanwhile, Russian oil exports have climbed despite the price cap, as its enforcement has proved challenging. The US Treasury Department has since stepped up efforts, adding sanctions against two firms that violated the cap.
Joe and the rest of the Obama “foreign policy” retreads might want to be careful what they wish for.

“”The recent decision by the Department of Justice (DOJ) to impose a $700,000 fine on Covenant Transport Inc., a Christian trucking company based in Chattanooga, Tennessee, raises significant concerns about the overreach of federal power and the disregard for the realities faced by businesses in regulating their workforce.
The DOJ, under Joe Biden’s regime, claims this measure is to resolve alleged violations of the anti-discrimination provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) by Covenant and its affiliated entity, Transport Management Services LLC.
The department accuses Covenant of discriminating against non-U.S. citizen workers by requiring specific documentation to confirm their legal status to work in the United States.”

If, as widely alleged, the US government did despise its own citizenry and was waging war on them, what would they do differently?
Playing god has its limitations
The biggest unknown as Colorado prepares to reintroduce wolves to the West Slope as early as December is where the wolves will wander once they’re released.
There is a growing concern some may head north into Wyoming and face the same fate as wolves that migrated into the state and were shot just across the state line in Wyoming.
——-
Matt Barnes, a wolf advocate and rangeland and wildlife conservationist with the Northern Rockies Conservation Cooperative who sat on the state-appointed wolf recovery Stakeholders Advisory Group, shares those concerns saying eventually some wolves released in Colorado will cross state lines, including Wyoming.
“That is a real concern, but unfortunately under the current legal structure there is nothing we can do about it,” he said. “So far, all evidence indicates when wolves leave Colorado and step foot in Wyoming they risk their lives.”
Wolves, those reintroduced and those naturally migrating into Colorado, are listed as federally endangered and are protected under the Endangered Species Act. However, wolves in Wyoming are not listed and can be legally killed year-round in the state’s predator zone, which encompasses 85% of the state, including the area just across the border from Colorado.
“The situation on the Colorado-Wyoming state line is unprecedented in modern wildlife policy,” said Barnes, who lives in southwest Colorado and has explored potential wolf corridors across southwestern Wyoming into Colorado. “A species is protected by state and federal law on one side of an arbitrary line and can be shot on sight, for no reason, on the other. Wyoming’s predator zone policy is a transparent attempt to restrict wolves to the mostly federal lands of the Greater Yellowstone area.”
These amateur zookeepers are quite a bunch of geniuses. They Should drop those wolves off in the Denver-Boulder corridor.
Just what Wyoming needs, more immigrants from blue Colorado.
Dammit, they get to shoot these ones!
“The oval shape roughly includes Glenwood Springs on the west, Kremmling on the north, Vail on the east and Aspen on the south. The area includes Interstate 70 running through the middle.”
Oh good. So, in the summer you can add wolves to the bears & mountain lions in the area.
*ponders new reality show*
Maybe the wildlife can kill all the rich Aspenites.
Meh.
A could of decades ago wolves were reintroduced in Louisiana. They have been remarkably successful. They dont bother anyone.
They are being bred out actually. Apparently dogs, wolves and coyotes like to screw and it has been a free for all for 30 years now.
I wonder how long before they will all melded together.
Was it a reasonably populated part of Louisiana, or less dense?

Their fries are garbage
Their fries are garbage
Never had ’em, but I thought their fries were supposed to be a big part of their specialness.
They suck. They’re soggy and they all clump up in the bag.
And how! if the location in Brooklyn that I visited is any indication, whole potatoes are cut in house and then only fried once. Soggiest restaurant fries I’ve ever encountered.
Yo-yo. Doubtful anyone’s ’round. Finished my first week of daycare-called-something-else for one of the most affluent communities in America.
It absolutely gets the job done, money and schedule-wise for me. It’s nothing more than expensive daycare with snacks and playtime for the kids. There is some school time stuff SOME kids work on and I’ve loved talking to them and helping them out. There aren’t many of them. That I can’t actually work with them is shit.
Newsflash to none: Girls are remarkably better behaved and focused at the K-5 level. (Onward on for many/most.)
