Much madness here involving something about the moon eating the sun or somesuch. We’re on the edge of the path of totality and apparently the entire world is descending upon us to witness this event which will, of course, be totally obscured by clouds. Every state park will have full parking lots and multi-mile long backups. Tomb Raider is excited to be among crowds. I am looking for a quiet observation spot.
This is an omen for births, and so is a list of some people who were born on this day including a guy who wanted you to stop cranking the hog; the spirit animal for Brooks Robinson; the patron saint of target shooting; an evil guy who was rewarded by having the worst airport in the US named after him; a guy who was key in making modern journalism what it has become; the pride of Baltimore; star of the late, great Wonder Dog’s favorite TV show; the spiritual father of Julian Assange and Edward Snowden; a guy who almost saved us from Jimmy Carter and George Bush; a celebrity whom I have been mistaken for; a great and under-appreciated British electric blues guitarist; someone who will always be seventeen; and a complete fuckup as a prosecutor.
While the sun still exists, let’s Link.
Remembering the Team Blue Chicago convention of 1968. Here’s hoping for a redo.
So I remember the last time this happened, too. Who will be the Mexican Jimmy Carter?
My offer is still on the table.

Old Guy Music is a song I’ve played with several bands and just for fun on my own. And it features a reunion with one of today’s birthday boys.
Ha! Knew that one before I hovered… been a while since I guess right!
Morning, OMWC — another argument for space travel.. if we had it, folks who cared could just figure out their own eclipse and settle down.
guess rightsigh… guessed right. I talk gud.I was guessing Post, who was another grapenut.
Yeah, he was one seriously flaky dude.
If we turn this into another corny pun thread, Swiss will shred us like wheat through a thresher.
Damn your nimble fingers!
Though I guess we’re all cereal offenders.
Gah, the puns. Y’all just keep spoonin’ it up and see what happens when Swiss gets here.
Oh, great! Here come all the corny jokes!
He was just raisin awareness!
Well, I’m off to play some Fallout:New Vegas… Cheerio!
Been milked for all its worth
Damn… I was going for William Tell on this one.
My first thought was Lee Harvey Oswald.
That would have fit OMWC’s sense of humor better, true.
He had the great advantage of magic bullets.

If modern journalism were more like SugarFree, modern journalism would be a lot better.
Cracky and his cousins have been trying hard since at least the ’80s, I would think.
Huh… I thought she had aged out by now.
And 6 months from now we’ll find that the bomb threats were from trans-activists looking to “raise awareness” and nothing else will happen. Like the “I received death threat tweets!” this card is almost as overplayed as the RACISSS! one these days.
Heh. I remember a few students trying to “raise awareness” of how little they studied on test days, bomb threats.
… with bomb threats.
i englush gud.
I get a 404 on that link. Maybe a hoax already discovered and so the story pulled?
The story bombed
#MeToo
Can we just ship them Biden or Cackles? They’ve overachieved on that front here, might as well share the joy with Mexico….
Laughing my ass off at the weather predictions last night.
As Mother Nature is wont to do (mean ass bitch with a sadistic sense of humor) she is going to extra cloud up the exact corridor of the eclipse viewing start to finish. It has been very clear and nice here for days.
I understand a lot of people were planning on travel, lodging, etc. for seeing this non-event so of course she did. Bitch. I am guessing there will be a lot of alcohol consumed to sooth the wounded.
And to think yesterday there was debate here as to whether anybody was being snotty towards those who want to enjoy the eclipse.
*raises hand*
Is it Tuesday yet?
I think there’s a difference between “I’ll be relieved when the crowds are out of here” (I’m not a crowd person either) and “They deserve not to get what they came for”.
The last total solar eclipse that I’m going to be alive to see is not a ‘non-event’. Nice job coming across as an asshole though.
Start saving for a trip to Iceland in August 2026.
A trip to Iceland is always a good idea. Expensive place to visit though.
“Nice job coming across as an asshole though.”
*puffs up chest, raises chin*
Thank you Sir. It is always nice to have a compliment at the start of a day.
I saw one when I was in grade school. We all went out on the playground for 20 minutes with our own little camera obscuras we made in class the day before and ooooo’ed and ahhhhhh’ed for a couple of minutes. It got dark. It got light. Nothing changed and we went back to class. It is indeed a non-event. No need to feel like you missed out on a big deal.
Haley’s comet…same thing. Gfriend and I drove out into the middle of nowhere and parked. We saw it. Yep, there it is. Then we spent the next hour screwing like bunny rabbits. I remember the screwing, that was epic. The comet….not so much.
Different strokes for different folks. I was always into astronomy as a kid and when my dreams of being an astronaut disappeared (poor eyesight and asthma) I lost interest in the Cosmos as well to a degree, but when an astronomical event of this magnitude comes along, I feel like a kid again. I am fortunate that I also live in the path of totality, and hope we do get a view of it. I certainly don’t hope the weather spoils it for other just out of spite.
I’ve had some near totality viewings over the years, including the 90% thing a few months ago, but it’d be cool if I can see the 100% thing tomorrow for a couple minutes.
Don’t really get the hate for people going out of their way to try to see it, but … Glibs gonna Glib.

Some people are just wired different, I guess.
This is the most hilarious mischaracterization imaginable.
Who wrote that drivel?
It seems to be a contest between Dowd and MTG as who can be the most hysterical retard.
Someone who seriously thinks the J6 was an attempted coup. So either a brazen liar or a complete moron. (Strange bison hats lying on desks distributing podiums is no basis for a system of government!)
Coups generally involve some shooting or stabbing. A bunch of rowdy people non-violently venting, as is explicitly their Constitutional right (“petition for redress of grievances”) ain’t a coup.
Meanwhile, rioting in leftist cities day after day during Summer 2020 without being stopped by Democrat state and local leaders, including against federal courthouses…
Using projectiles, explosives, and incendiary devices while wearing body armor.
Also multiple incidents of brandishing or even using firearms during those same rioting and public displays of intimidation.
They can’t abandon that narrative – until Trump wins and they attempt to stop Congress from certifying his election. Then it will be entirely different.
Just like contesting results is a high crime, except for all the previous times it was done.
When did we first hear about tampering with voting machines? Oh yes, in 2004.
Next year will be the silver anniversary of the hanging chad.
Of course, election fraud is as old as the republic.
Given their insatiable hunger for power, complete lack or morals or self-awareness and boundless mendacity their tantrums are truly entertaining.
They are going to lose to Trump again and like last time have no clue why. I am anxious to hear their rationalizations, those should be equally entertaining.
Voters hate truth and responsibility and really just want to hear someone tell them what they want to hear but now and then truth becomes so obvious that all but the most deluded true believers cannot deny it. You know, like everyone below the upper class when they are standing at the grocery check-out or the gas pump.
Yes, voters are getting what they voted for good and hard but eventually they are going to say ‘Uncle!’.
The hell they are. Biden will win decisively in both popular vote and the electoral college. Trump wins at best one of the six swing states.
I have to wonder what could have been with a non-Trump candidate in ’20 and ’24.
Which non-Democrat do you think could win in 2024? It can’t be Not -Donald-Trump; it must be a real person.
I wasn’t talking reality nor having anyone particular in mind.
I’m just thinking Joe is so uniquely bad that the chances of him winning (or “winning”) are astronomically low, or should be.
It all depends on whether what gets counted are votes, or ballots.
Stop harshing my optimism dammit. Occasionally I manage to bob my head up in this ocean of idiocy and evil to catch a breath.
I’m interested to seeing this prediction holds up.
Nonsense. The whole thing is performance art – the overeducated commie larpers that form the core of this group are going to universally and enthusiastically pull the lever for Joe when the time comes.
Is there really that big of a debate? Aside from the Jews who are still knee-jerk Dems (most of them, sadly), the rest of the Dems seem to have landed squarely on the “Israel bad” side.
Dems that speak loudly, or Dems that vote – that is the divide of interest. We certainly don’t tend to assume that Republican leadership really represents Republican voters.
Ding ding ding
The revolution always ends up eating its own.
I think the horse has slipped its reins, and things are not going as planned.

The Vanderbilt chancellor handled it well. Bye bye asshole students.
I know it is all projection all of the time with that crowd, I shouldn’t be surprised but geeez, it continues to amaze.
Pines then pulled a Raskin. While mildly criticizing the students for their lack of “civility,” he defended their disruption of Raskin’s remarks as if a heckler’s veto were free speech. “What you saw play out actually was democracy and free speech and academic freedom,” he said. “From our perspective as a university, these are the difficult conversations that we should be having.”
Preventing others from speaking is, like, totally free speech in action, man. Why do you hate academic freedom?
She’s right.
But we’re not pretending she’s OK with non-subsidized dinosaur juice, are we?
“Whoops, how did ‘subsidies’ get in there?”

Tucson has a surprisingly good view of the SpaceX launches from Vandenburg. They go right across the southern sky for us, and the timing this time of year is pretty bang on for a sunset sky that’s dark enough to see the rocket.

I need pancakes this morning. And more coffee.
I’ve got packzi for breakfast today. I was up later than usual last night at a concert (which was totally worth it), and am working on rehydration now.

I like The Dark Night better, as well. Well, save for the third one, That said, I liked the way they leaned into the detective side of “The World’s Greatest Detective” in The Depeche Mode-Man.
You may not cook with a gas stove, but you must cool your house using propane. Makes sense.
– “if it wasn’t flammable, why would they put the safety sensor on?”
He says the new setup is, in fact, a propane-based refrigerant.” –
https://www.dallasnews.com/news/watchdog/2024/04/05/the-ac-industry-is-about-to-undergo-a-major-change-next-year-a-new-coolant-is-required/?outputType=amp
Only after attic explosions start becoming more common will they admit it is, in fact, flammable.
Didn’t we go through this coolant change before, saving the ozone layer?
Both cars and home AC have changed refrigerants in the last several years. The new thing with this change is that your AC will intentionally be shut down if a leak is detected and won’t work until it’s corrected. If it’s like the leak detectors on a cars evaporative emissions systems, 90% of the leaks will be on the system designed to detect leaks.
Can’t wait to need to plug into the fridge’s OBD port to figure out which sensor is intermittently failing!
*readies paper-clip and prepares to count blinking check engine lights.*
I think this will be something like the 4th change in allowed coolants. It’s almost like they’re trying to make AC impractical/expensive. Well, for the little people, at least.
I did a little cleaning on my AC unit yesterday to get ready for summer. Ours was just installed in fall of 2022 along with the furnace but I don’t remember what refrigerant it has. Hopefully it keeps working fine for a good number of decades yet. 🤞
Hole in the ozone layer…ugh. Same shit as global warming. Natural phenomena portrayed as man caused disaster to justify control.
Ozone is a polar molecule. The earth is a giant powerful magnet. Of course there is a hole in the ozone layer. Now that the poles are moving like mad we are doing to see that hole in the O3 moving as well. I wonder how they will spin that.
Not ozone depletion, the actual govt website said CLYMUT CHANGE!!! Herpity-derpity-do!
So no one can get their AC recharged without a retro-fit? That isn’t going to go un-noticed.
Power mongers who have achieved power very much need to stifle innovation. Innovation ultimately empowers individuals meaning less power for those in power and increases the chances of upsetting the balance of power.
Cheap energy and refrigeration along with indoor plumbing and water treatment have increased the life expectancy and empowered individuals more than anything else in the history of mankind. What we are seeing now is the deliberate destruction of those innovations or as many here have pointed out already, reversing technology to a medieval level. That has been the goal of the environmental movements all along. They dont give a fuck about the environment, they want you unable to help yourself so that people will do as their told in the hopes that they can garner special favors to improve their own miserable lot. It is pure evil.
Any substance can be used as a refrigerant or a coolant. We choose to use the ones we do because they are the most, or near most efficient. For a couple of decades they have been mandating less and less efficient refrigerants. I wonder why. They allow us to cool our houses (less heat stress means fewer old people dying from heat) and cool or freeze our food (reduce deaths from food borne pathogens).
They haven’t gotten around to coolants yet but they will. They will have to come up with some kind justification for not using water. They will, dont worry.
Also on the slate is running water and electricity. they have taken a few stabs at night time lighting (light pollution!) a few times before….that will come back. They really are evil.

One additional notable birthday today…Mememememeeeeeeee.
Not sure why I care. I long ago reached the age where I stopped doing anything very special to celebrate.
The only thing notable about this one is that I am now able to grab some of that sweet social security money before it is all replaced by toilet paper.
Or at least I could, if I didn’t still have a job. Based on my household income, if I start early my monthly SS payment will be…zero.
On the other hand, I did get a letter from AARP offering me a discount on membership dues. So I got that goin’ for me.
Happy Birthday, Sparty! 😃🥳🎊🎈🎉💃👯♀️🎂
Thank you! I am now going to celebrate by making my usual Sunday excursion for groceries, booze, cat food/litter, and other Things I Need.
Dance to the music, Sparty.
There will be plenty of time to work after you retire. Find a job that you enjoy, between SS and your paycheck you’ll come out even plus sane.
Happy Birthday, light a candle
My grandfather had the same first name as me (different middle names) so I started getting AARP mailings when I was in grade school.
Happy Birthday fellow ram and almost-an-old-guy.

“A nurse and her husband are facing sex crime charges after child porn and a video of her having sex with the family dog were allegedly found.
Joely, 53, and William Mitchell Keen, 52, were arrested on March 27 after dozens of disturbing photos and videos were allegedly discovered on his phone.
They allegedly included at least one video of Joely engaged in ‘multiple sex acts’ with the couple’s Great Dane – the world’s biggest dog breed….
The father-of-two, who goes by Mitchell, was caught masturbating while following children around a H-E-B supermarket in Spring, just outside Houston.
Further investigation led to him also being charged with indecency with a child by exposure – and the discovery of the videos.”

My Irish immigrant father lived through the cruel “No Irish Need Apply” era. I’m distraught that our mosaic may shatter.
Wait, what?
Is this coming from a Team Wedge member? They are doing everything they can to destroy the melting pot and Balkanize society.
Not to mention the No Irish Need Apply was pretty much over by the turn of the LAST century (save maybe the WASPiest of WASP areas).
Unless she(?) was born in the 19th century, that’s complete bullshit.
There was a reason for the signs. Read Thomas Sowell’s “Conquest and Cultures” book.
“The family subscribes to a racehorse theory of human development,” the Trump biographer Michael D’Antonio told PBS. “They believe that there are superior people and that if you put together the genes of a superior woman and a superior man, you get a superior offspring.”

It’s LadyCav’s birthday, as well. I got her a couple of live plants that can be indoor, and some other things, like a coffee mug and candy. I found a birthday card that had “coupons” attached to it: “One back rub”, “One Date Night”, etc.
I think this birthday will go a lot better than the one a few years ago when she, out of the blue, asked me: “Do you remember what last Tuesday was?”
I could not, for the life of me, think what it was.
You see, that’s true love. She didn’t just kick you out – she wanted to teach you a lesson you’d never forget!

A world gone topsy-turvy
Something weird is happening beneath the overall stability of the early 2024 polling — and it’s either a sign of a massive electoral realignment, or that the polls are wrong again.
Polls show former President Donald Trump is ascendant with the youngest bloc of the electorate, even leading President Joe Biden in some surveys, as less-engaged young voters spurn Biden. Meanwhile, Biden is stronger with seniors than he was four years ago, even as his personal image is significantly diminished since he was elected last time.
That would be a generational shift: For decades, Democratic presidential candidates have overwhelmingly won young voters, and Republicans have done the same with the other end of the electorate. Poll after poll is showing that’s flipped this year.
If these changes are real, it would have profound effects on the coalitions both campaigns are building for November. No Republican has won young voters since George H.W. Bush’s landslide victory in 1988, and no Democrat has carried the senior vote since Al Gore hammered Bush’s son, George W. Bush, on Social Security in 2000.
But we’re the party of edgy young anti-establishmentarians, honest.
“ , as less-engaged young voters”
Ah yes, smart, engaged people will vote for the candidate I support.
The young women are likely to vote for Biden over their lost right to conveniently kill fetuses nearby, instead of sometimes having to venue shop.
The young men are more likely to vote for Trump, since they’d like to be able to get good paying jobs so they can bang lots of young women who will want to abort the subsequent fetus.

Her hit “can’t get you out of my stomach”. Or “I should be so hungry”
That’s called a duck boat here, room for decoys, etc.
There’s also the gender gap: Trump is openly courting young men across races and ethnicities, and there’s some evidence he’s gaining ground there, while young women remain in Biden’s camp.

AP tearjerker
Forty thousand children have seen one parent or both detained in President Nayib Bukele’s nearly two-year war on El Salvador’s gangs, according to the national social services agency.
The records were shared with The Associated Press by an official with the National Council on Children and Adolescents, who insisted on anonymity due to fear of government reprisal against those violating its tight control of information. The official said many more children have jailed parents but are not in the records.
By arresting more than 1% of his country’s population, Bukele, who won reelection to a second five-year term Sunday, is trying to break the chain of violence that has ravaged El Salvador for decades. But many worry that debilitating poverty, long-term trauma and government failures to protect their children could instead fuel a future wave of gang warfare.
President Bukele is destroying the very fabric of society with his fascist law-and-order authoritarianism.
The guy who got reelected by crazy high margins because he got rid of gang warfare is gonna cause future gang warfare?

Take off every ZiG
Zimbabwe has introduced a new gold-backed currency called ZiG – the name stands for “Zimbabwe Gold”.
It is the latest attempt to stabilise an economy that has lurched from crisis to crisis for the past 25 years.
Unveiling the new notes, central bank governor John Mushayavanhu said the ZiG would be structured, and set at a market-determined exchange rate.
The ZiG replaces a Zimbabwean dollar, the RTGS, that had lost three-quarters of its value so far this year.
For great justice. It’ll work this time, we promise.
“‘Migrant influencer’ who encouraged squatting whines to NY Post that he’s a victim of ‘persecution’ in jailhouse interview
The jailed Venezuelan “migrant influencer” who viciously mocked America to his 500,000 TikTok followers and urged border crossers to “invade abandoned houses” now misses the glorious liberties he enjoyed in the US – whining to The Post this week that “I miss my freedom!”
Leonel Moreno moaned that he is a victim of unjust “persecution” Wednesday during a 30-minute-long video televisit from inside Geauga County Jail in Chardon, Ohio.
“I came here to the United States because of persecution in my country … But they’re doing the same thing to me in the United States – persecuting me,” Moreno, 27, wailed.”

“Several defendants involved in the events on January 6 have initiated a class-action lawsuit against Capitol Police officers for “millions of dollars in damages.”
Edward Jacob (Jake) Lang, who was arrested for involvement in the January 6 Capitol incident and refers to himself as a “political prisoner,” explained in an interview with Real America’s Voice the lawsuit.
Lang explained that the class-action lawsuit includes over 78 January 6 defendants and is seeking retribution for “millions of dollars in damages and injuries” that the Capitol Police allegedly caused the defendants.
“I got shot in the foot with a rubber bullet, other people were bludgeoned nearly to death, hit with chemical spray and had long-lasting lung effects and so… we are now serving 21 defendants… Capitol Police officers, Capitol Police officials,” Lang explained.”

Rhetorical shell game
There are now millions of people who are living under the anti-abortion laws the Dobbs ruling overturning Roe v. Wade made possible. I count in that number not just the women forced to face a pregnancy resulting from sexual assault and not just the women who have been prevented from ending a pregnancy that threatens their physical well-being, but both those groups’ loved ones and their communities. Then there are, of course, the women who have a child they would prefer not to have (post-Dobbs, birth rates went up in states with abortion bans by about 2%).
To be sure, there may be some who use abortion as a last ditch form of contraception, but let’s not worry about them when we can focus the audience’s attention on the vanishingly rare medical exceptions, and all those rapes.
Must keep abortion top of mind as an excuse for election results, not lackluster campaigns, idiot candidates, and election shenanigans.
“Following the South Carolina Women’s Basketball team’s victory over N.C. State, coach Dawn Staley said she thinks it’s okay for biological men to play against women if they identify as female.
In an exchange with Outkick Reporter Dan Zaksheske, Staley was asked about her stance on transgender athletes, particularly biological males, participating in women’s sports. After a brief pause and a sip from her cup, Staley responded, “If you’re a woman, you should play. If you consider yourself a woman… you should be able to play.””
