That’s all I got for today. I’ll leave you with a song and move along with my day.
Trump is done. Finished.
The walls are closing in?
Democracy is saved.
I have seen in some places people have been calling it “The Democrcay” now. I hate our society.
The society.
No OBE, I think it’s “Our Democracy”. And when I see that, I just substitute “Our Bureaucracy”.
Home Prices Soar to Record High – this means the economy is great and the incumbent should be reelected
Means that all Chuck Schumer’s new voters have to live somewhere and (despite his best efforts) the law of supply and demand has not been revoked.
High home prices, high inflation, high interest rates. What’s not to like!
These days when I hear young people complaining that they can’t afford to live like their parents did, I do feel for them. This economy is shit.
Boomers rejoice.
Why would we rejoice? We lived through the 70s and 80s once; we have no desire to repeat that misery. Despite the awesome music lol
Boomers love talking about how their wealth is tied up in their home.
No I don’t
The jury got the Trump case with instructions by the judge to convict.
Will be interesting what comes out today on the instructions for sure.
You expected him to break character at this point?
Ramaswamy buying part of BuzzFeed seems like a dumber, cut-rate version of Musk buying Twitter.
8.4% doesn’t give you control. And who cares about BuzzFeed?
BuzzFeed is coming back just you wait.
I guess if you gut it, completely change the culture, the concept, and give it a new name, it just might work.
Right?!
Yes. Why waste your money there? Do they have some cutting edge tech he wishes to repurpose? Is this just for his amusement?
The goodwill, brand, and credibility are worth whatever he paid, I’m sure.

Guilty verdict before noon or after?
after so one side can pop open the champagne and the other the whisky or whatever it is you Americans drink when things do not go your way
It’s 5 o’clock somewhere. Make it a Kentucky 75 or Bourbon & Bubbles.
Bourbon & Bubbles
That sounds horrible.
Whisky & Soda!
Hung jury is what I am guessing. Then again, we don’t want critical thinkers on juries.
Guilty verdict before noon, expedited appeal to the SC by 14:00, acquittal by the SC by 14:30
It’s rare for prosecutors to appeal a “not guilty” verdict as that looks bad. But this may be one of those rare cases.
The appeal would go to the federal Second Circuit based in NYC. Even if they put it on the rocket docket it would be weeks or months.
Trump taken off the inaugural podium in chains! Biden moves in before anyone can stop him and places his hand on the bible and is back for another term.
The fix for a guilty verdict is definitely in, since the Biden team is set to make a statement about the verdict.

Housing market makes no sense to me. I have to assume that so little is on the market, possibly still working out the kinks from the lockdowns. I wonder if the mobility numbers are also down?
There are none for sale right now in my development (per Redfin). Which does seem off.
Same around me. Normally, there would be at least a dozen or two, even in this rural area. Right now, not even a handful.
We illegally imported millions of people who need a place to live. All the cheap houses were absorbed entirely, leaving only expensive ones. In bigger cities you can’t even build anymore because of NIMBY, so prices will just keep climbing.
We are Brazil now. Third World cities spiralling down. European descendants still the majority in some of the hinterlands.
Sure that would tighten up the bottom end of the market, but the question is – is that what is really the driving force? I doubt housing illegals is really it.
With high interest rates, you’d expect prices to drop so those houses sell. So I’m not sure either.
Everything will sell at some price. Just have to establish where that is.
Were it not for government interference the high prices would see a boom in construction. People have to live somewhere, even if it’s on the street.
Sure. This is why groups like the Sierra Club were adamantly against unrestricted immigration. I don’t really want my entire country paved over for apartments.
Urbanization in the US only covers about 3% of the total land. It could triple and still not hit double digits. Essentially all of the US population growth since 1940 has been in urbanized areas while rural population has remained flat.
Joni Mitchell can take that big yellow taxi and shove it somewhere.
Nobody is selling because they can’t afford to give up their 2.5% mortgage. Meanwhile supply is zero because of immigration.
Ding ding. The market for existing houses is locked up at the moment because of the rate swing.
Construction costs haven’t come down, so new houses still cost as much or more to build and are even more expensive with mortgage rates back to normal.
Throw in the fact that incomes have stagnated for most people, and income lags prices, and yeah, the housing market is fuckity-fucked.
And no one in a current home wants to take a haircut.
Right now, no seller has to take a haircut because there are so few options for buyers.
I’m working for a real estate company right now and the differential in interest rates is 100% the reason that no one is selling. You’d end up paying the same (or more) for a smaller condo or house if you sold now.
Everyone is hanging on, hoping the interest rates go way back down again. The problem is those 2.5% rates were the extreme outlier. I don’t think they are going back down there again for a loooooong time.
Yup. One of my coworkers (who is nearing retirement age) bought a house with a buydown & is counting on a rate drop to refinance. I just nodded along during the story telling. Didn’t have the heart to say anything.
Combine that with a shit economy overall, and people right now do not want to assume additional financial burdens, not when they might get laid off, not get their annual, etc.
This is what a slowdown really looks like.
(although, I am thinking about selling my rental prop out here for 500K, and buying a few in a cheaper market.)

In that case, just cancel the convention.
Their Ohio scheduling failure notwithstanding, this would seem to me to actually maximize the chances of protests at the convention. I thought plenty of Donks weren’t crazy about Brandon and would view this as just too much of a behind-the-scenes move that means the whole convention is even more of a sham than it would otherwise be.

How the far right is winning over young Europeans
Rightwing populist parties are making inroads into a demographic fed up with economic insecurity and immigration policy
https://www.ft.com/content/e77e1863-5a78-4d16-933c-6a665a66f261?shareType=nongift
Eric Liebegut, an 18-year-old printer’s apprentice, already knows who he’ll vote for in next week’s European election — the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD), a party he says offers a clean break with a gloomy present and a bright vision of the future.
“All the others have been calling the shots for long enough,” he says. “Now it’s our turn.”
Liebegut, who sports a hoodie with the words in German “Homeland is Future”, is typical of a new cohort of young Europeans succumbing to the siren song of rightwing populist parties, with their seductive mix of ethno-nationalism, anti-wokery and conservative values.
His choice might once have seemed bizarre. The AfD was set up in 2013 by a bunch of stuffy middle-class economists outraged by the Eurozone bailouts. But in recent years it has acquired a subversive counterculture vibe that has earned it a legion of new fans, particularly in east Germany.
In France, a surprising 36 per cent of 18- to 24-year-olds back Marine Le Pen’s National Rally (RN), while 31 per cent support Geert Wilders’ Freedom party (PVV) in the Netherlands, which won last year’s elections and has just formed a government promising the “toughest asylum law of all time”.
Meanwhile, a recent survey found 22 per cent of Germans aged 14-29 backed the AfD, up from 12 per cent in 2023. No other party enjoyed such support in this age group.
Maximilian Krah, an AfD member of the European parliament who is leading the party’s list for the Euro elections, says the far right has been helped by the “unbelievable unattractiveness of the left in its current form”.
In the 1960s and ’70s, the era of hippies, Woodstock and the anti-Vietnam war movement, it had strong appeal for teenagers. But “these days, it’s pretty uncool”. “I mean — vegetarian food? Cargo bikes? Give me a break.”
Like Vox, the AfD also presents itself as a way out for young men frustrated by “woke” ideology, who reject a status quo symbolised by Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s coalition of social democrats, Greens and liberals.
The left is “pushing a “degrowth” agenda which is basically promising young people they’ll be poorer than their parents and grandparents” and “telling them they have to make sacrifices to save the climate”, says Krah. “With us, they won’t have to sacrifice anything.”
In my town most building has basically come to a standstill because of the interest rates. There is a long list of projects in various stages of incompletion that are waiting for better times.
Yes, and costs of building supplies has skyrocketed too due to inflation.
And if supplies moving are sluggish you get a glut of inventory – which will ripple backwards into production of those supplies getting slowed or stopped. Just when we might have been recovering from the lockdown disruption.
Fun times! Biden might catch a break by losing the election.
Yes. I sense a complete replay of the 1980s.
Yeah, that too.
I’m having some work done on my cabin, contractor informed me yesterday that the cost of materials has skyrocketed and of course will affect the repair price.
OTOH he’s happy to have a project right now.
Builders are putting up a lot of apartment buildings in Sodom-on-the-Sound and some of its suburbs. Not many single-family houses anywhere around the area.
We have lots of “townhomes” going up by us…a few single family homes, as people are still fleeing Cook County.

It says a lot about the stupidity of voters who think a mayor should have fuck all to do with Gaza.
Look at that sullen, angry picture too. That’s a guy who never laughs. WTF would you vote for him?
If I lend Gaza my vote, what will Gaza do for me in return?
Kill some Jews? You do want the Jews gone, right?
just some?
Daily Ray of Sunshine
I worked a bunch of hotels in my college years and I can’t imagine how pissed I would be if one of mine was turned into one of these shitholes.
I don’t think there are more hotel staff there in the traditional sense.
More like janitorial and some modified housekeeping services.
What I’m saying is the hotels either went fully immigrant or regular guests.
I’m not aware of any in Manhattan serving both.
Regular guest aren’t a steady flow of State monies, of course they will take 100% occupancy at top dollar rates.
I’m with OBE. I’m guessing that a lot of the hotels that are taking the ImmiGrant money are also cutting back entirely on maintenance, amenities and staff. They are going to pound the govt checks and let the property go to hell. I’m guessing most of the hotels doing this were on the backend of their life cycle and were due for major renovations.
When the ImmiGrant money dries up, they will do a teardown or complete renovation and get back into being a real hotel with a new property.
I would not be at all surprised if one of the conditions the city agreed to was no layoffs.
And now for some good news…
Gov. Ron DeSantis and Florida Republicans have spent years aggressively turning the state into a haven for school choice. They have been wildly successful, with tens of thousands more children enrolling in private or charter schools or homeschooling.
“If your product is better, you’ll be fine. The problem is, they are a relic of the past — a monopolized system where you have one option,” Chris Moya, a Florida lobbyist representing charter schools and the state’s top voucher administering organization, said of traditional public schools. “And when parents have options, they vote with their feet.”
When you’re literally giving your product away (education) and people still pay extra to the tune of thousands of dollars a year for it. You’re doing something wrong.
government *something* losing money on a whorehouse
If I recall correctly, they couldn’t even operate the Mustang Ranch.
Wut? Florida Kid gets their own private classroom? I think I see some overhead that could be cut.
On the topic of reinventing the wheel, I was reading up on some common serial communications protocols because I was going to implement them in the upcoming iterations of my project. I’d thought I might need to use the Raspberry Pi to program a periferal (because it has network access and can directly talk to the periferal) and got annoyed that the code examples use libraries rather than include the implementation directly.
So I went to read up on the same protocols on the MSP430 series… only to find out it handles them natively on hardware, so you’d be using delivered libraries to trigger the native implementation.
I would have to go out of my way to reinvent the protocol implementation, and for some reason I’m annoyed that it’s been made too easy.
Uffda. I remember having to learn how to write a native serial protocol using assembler code in college for some microprocessor class. You don’t want to have to re-invent that BS UCS. Trust the libraries. They’ve been around forever and are way better than anything you will write.
No knock against you, but those libraries were developed by thousands if not millions of devs over decades. As smart as you are, you aren’t as good as the world.
What about all the dumb people dragging the world down?
The dumb people don’t get their branches committed into the main branch. (I can’t believe they won’t approve my PR! ELITISTS!!!)
The devs who contributed to those libraries were the rare smart folkx that are distributed throughout the masses.
I just remember how hard it was to get the serial port to work under ideal situations. Any small deviation would instantly wreak havoc on the port. It was an eye opening experience in how “real” code was 95% error handling and 5% functional stuff.
Getting commits to the main fork is more about your community membership schmoozing than the quality of your work.
The last code I wrote was in 1993 for a serial port handler on a DSP running naked without an operating system.
You don’t need operating systems.
This is a really great read. I cannot recommend too highly.
[we’ll see if the double tags work]
Definitely interesting, and worth the read. However, it skips over a lot of the macroeconomic arguments for libertarian/classical liberal policies. Also, I’m pretty sure if I took any of the personality tests the author suggested, I’d be high on disagreeable, but mid-range at best on conscientiousness. //Looks around at very messy office, projects that have been half done for a long time, unfinished books, etc.
The Frenchies might be inept at most everything, but they sure can protest in a fun way. If only our elite colleges could turn out clever protests like this.
Protesting – in particular, radical acts of rebellion – are embedded in the French’s relationship with the government – if embedded are they really radical?
It occurs to me that divining meaning through celestial or cartomantic signs is not too dissimilar from troubleshooting via some of these error messages.
What? You want error messages to be useful? My, aren’t we entitled.
Since I wind up fixing the problem, they must be useful somehow. I could not begin to tell you how though. Undoubtedly there is a mystical intuitive connection at work.

The HIPPA allegation was genius. I don’t think I would have thought of that.
So, they’ve been Misunderstood?
@Sensei
“Best wishes in your future lawsuits”
… because a dumbass like you is going to get sued again.
“You also divulged patient names and information to me asking
me to complete charting on them after* you terminated me “effective immediately”, which (as you should know, as you have been a healthcare worker for longer than l’ve been alive)
is a blatant HIPAA violation.”
Probably not. HIPAA has a definition of the “workforce” that you are allowed to disclose patient information to that is broader than “current employee”. I think I could make a good argument, at a minimum, that she remained part of their workforce for purposes of completing charts. This is a pretty routine practice, often tied to qualifying for a severance payout, but common nonetheless.
Another thing is, you can’t “complete” a chart on a patient unless you have been treating the patient and already know their name and have had access to their info. It’s unlikely they disclosed much of anything to her for that purpose, and if they did, it was allowed as in connection with treating the patient.
My take after reading those emails – they are better off without her.
Finally, an OCD pet peeve: HIPAA has two As, not two Ps.
I always mistype that!
But yes, you are best off without her. Just get rid of her less idiotically.
HIPPOAA!
One other thought: if she had refused to complete the charts, she might have put her nursing license at risk for patient abandonment, depending on the state, of course.
Seems like an easy solution. Trespassers are trespassers.
Free bacon!
Well, someone thinks they have the cure.

They removed the “not guilty” checkbox, I assume.
“Guilty” “Extra Guilty” “Super-Duper Guilty”
There is the kicker. You can consider FECA but at the same time, the judge didn’t allow the former FEC guy to even explain what the law was cause reasons.
So the the jury doesn’t have to agree that the defendant committed a particular crime.
You would think at this point even people who hate Trump would see that is complete horseshit.
That is exactly what it is. Choose your own adventure and no matter the path, it leads to one verdict. What the judge decides it is.
You can agree he violated a federal law without a conviction in federal court.

“Lawmakers’ horrific plan to turn NYC into ‘Sin City East’ by OK’ing prostitution ”

It’s not like the government seems able to enforce the existing law.
“An embattled woke district attorney in California has been mocked for planning a “ridiculous” press conference to announce her “Chinese name” — months after she was accused of being disrespectful towards the Asian community.
Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price had been set to host the naming event in Oakland on Tuesday to mark Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, before her office canceled the appearance at the last minute without giving a reason, ABC7 reported.
News of the press conference — and its abrupt cancelation — sparked immediate backlash as critics accused the black DA, who is facing a recall election in November, of cultural appropriation….
Local politicians have been adopting Chinese names in the area for several years, in part, to become closer to the local community.
Vice President Kamala Harris was among the first to do it when she was running to be San Francisco’s DA back in 2003.”

Vice President Kamala Harris was among the first to do it when she was running to be San Francisco’s DA back in 2003.”
Let me guess, “Su Kon Dik”?
I’ve seen it done in NYC, but without the announcements and virtue signaling.
You have people campaigning in large Chinese immigrant areas with ads in Chinese. They adopted a Chinese reading (or spelling) for their name.
Kristi Noem should announce her new Lakota name to win more votes from the Pine Ridge rez. I’m sure that that would be OK too.
On reflection, Noem wouldn’t have to change her name to win the Sioux voting bloc. All she’d have to do is eat that dog that she shot and the tribes would love her.
You’re just into chicks who eat dogs.

Lager is seen as ‘the safe option’ for British drinkers because the beer sector “fails to communicate its huge range of aromas, colours and flavours in consumer friendly language”, according to report findings.
https://www.thedrinksbusiness.com/2024/05/lager-is-safe-option-for-british-drinkers/
“She explained that in the recent Gender Pint Gap: Revisited report, women’s collective Dea Latis asked all respondents in the survey to name their favourite style of beer and “28% of women responded “Don’t Know” to this question, compared to only 9% of men,” which she said led the group to question: “Could there be a big education piece which the beer industry is failing to meet?””

“Native American groups allege Met Museum curator is heritage-faking ‘Pretendian’: It’s ‘genocide again’
Native American campaigners are raising questions about the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s first-ever curator of Native American art — claiming she does not belong to a federally recognized tribe in the US, The Post has learned.
Patricia Marroquin Norby was hired with great fanfare in 2020, after what the museum said was “a long and competitive search,” as its “inaugural Associate Curator of Native American Art” in its American Wing.
For years, Marroquin Norby, 53, described herself — including in legal filings — as “Apache,” “Eastern Apache” and “Nde” as well as “Purepacha/Tarascan,” an indigenous group from the northwestern part of Michoacan, Mexico….
“The Met really needs to educate themselves about American Indian sovereignty,” Costantino said. “They are so obsessed with DEI [diversity, equity and inclusion] that they are not doing their due diligence, and when they don’t do the work, they are doing a disservice to the Native community, to people who have suffered erasure. They are just erasing them again.””

If being a minority is such a disadvantage, why do white people keep pretending to be minorities?
Sure is a mystery.
Maybe all she had to do was put her tribal affiliation in her email sig? Some real Indians in SoDak are being erased via email.

The right to live without fear that your domestic abuser can access legal firearms and then murder you with them (U.S. v. Rahimi);
And the right to have a place to sleep, even if it’s in public (City of Grants Pass v. Johnson).
Others relate to the preservation of democracy itself:
The right to use social media platforms without being bombarded by misinformation about vaccines, COVID-19, or election interference (Murthy v. Missouri);
Forcing hate speech and misinformation into our social media spaces (Moody v. Netchoice);
Or whether the expertise of federal agencies like FDA, EPA, or HHS will give way to the conservative ideological policies that put people’s right to health care, safe drugs, and clean air at risk (Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo).

Sounds like someone doesn’t understand what rights are.
Rights are infinite if you survive birth.
Four more years
Asked by a reporter why the president’s reelection campaign decided to hold an event at Trump’s trial, his communications director had a simple answer: “Because you all are here,” Michael Tyler said.
“You’ve been incessantly covering this, day in and day out,” Tyler continued, later saying the Biden team would seek to remind voters of “the stakes of this election.”
——-
The Biden campaign decided over the weekend to authorize a “guerrilla-style” campaign event near the courthouse in an effort to break through the non-stop cable news coverage of the Trump trial, according to two people familiar with plans and granted anonymity to describe them.
By any means .
My interview with the FL Department of Children and Families was quick. Turns out there is video of me being punched and who instigated the altercation. It seems the end result will be 3 fewer juvenile delinquents disrupting learning in that school.
So yay me, I guess.
🥳
Exoneration
juvenile delinquents – it is not their fault its society
but yay you
And yes, I was imagining my Florida Man fight music while I was defending myself:

Good!
Were you wearing one of those nice blazers when you were punched? I care about your professional image for future personal branding opportunities.
I was wearing the checkerboard shirt you sent me at the time. It is now battle-hardened.
Excellent! Project Derpy continues. Soon you will influence the world, or at least a sizeable portion of the South. Stay on brand!

I wonder if my insurance will cover that.
2 interesting clips I found yesterday:
Mohamed Morsi (also spelled Morsy), the fairly elected president of Egypt who was quickly overthrown, gave an interesting interview. I surprised that he speaks English. He was eager to build a stronger relationship with the US. So much for that.

And here’s the repugnant George Stephanopoulos beclowning himself in an interview with former Iranian president Ahmadinejad. For some reason, George was convinced Bin Laden was hiding in Tehran. Evidently George knows nothing of Al Qaida or Sunni-Shia animosity.

“Mayo Clinic Refuses To Give Popular YouTuber’s Mother A Lung Transplant Because She Hasn’t Been Vaccinated Against COVID-19
On the Mayo Clinic’s website, the healthcare provider claimed that “because end-stage organ disease and immunosuppression weakens the body’s immune system,” transplant patients, both pre and post-op, are allegedly more at risk to catch COVID-19. They recommend following guidance from the CDC for those who need to take extra precautions; however, the linked page has since been removed from the CDC’s website.”

Does the current vaccine even do anything?
Turning a cartoon truck further into a cartoon. That said I actually like it.

Many close to Biden have expressed private frustration that the media is obsessed with Trump, making it difficult at times to garner attention for the incumbent. But the people familiar with the decision disputed that the stunt was born out of desperation, even as Biden has narrowly but consistently trailed Trump in the polls.
Joe is a lot like Marley’s ghost.
Like I said before upthread, you have two camps in his campaign/WH team and the stupider, younger camp is controlling it. They think this is an own and will get the yoots on their side.
They just need more influencers!
That is a massive improvement.
I was discussing the Telsa truck. Argh.
Turning a cartoon truck further into a cartoon. That said I actually like it.
It’s a distinct improvement, in photographs. Whether it works in “the flesh” is an open question.
My question exactly. As far as the finish/wrap goes, is it a thirty-foot truck, a five foot truck, or what?
Not unexpected result, but looooove the headline:
While the trial is expected to continue at least through Wednesday and Thursday, Biden and his campaign still do not intend to directly address the trial until a verdict is reached.
The president’s first remarks about the trial are expected to be about the need to respect the outcome and will not be overtly political. And they will likely be given in an informal White House setting — like answering a question from a reporter on the South Lawn — rather than in some sort of official address, according to the two people familiar with the plans.
I sure hope everybody hits their marks and remembers their lines in this spontaneous off the cuff exchange.
I contacted the Special Operations Recruiting Battalion today. Won’t be surprised if they turn me down. I checked the boxes for Civil Affairs, Special Forces, Explosive Ordnance Disposal, and Psychological Operations. There’s a waiver for everything. We’ll see what happens.
Just got a call back from them. He said to re-enlist again, but I’d need a waiver for that. On the plus side, I wouldn’t have to do basic training again, but I would need to do airborne school and get back in shape. I guess I should go meet the recruiter again if I’m serious. Looks like Civil Affairs and PsyOps are my best bet. I’m a bit too old for EOD and Rambo stuff.
Hate comes to the suburbs
A neighbor of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito called police in 2021 following an exchange with the jurist’s wife, claiming that someone needed to “make her stop,” according to a report Tuesday in the New York Times.
“Somebody in a position of authority needs to talk to her and make her stop,” the neighbor told police in Fairfax County, Virginia, according to a recording of the call reviewed by the Times.
The call was placed by the husband of a neighbor who exchanged words with Alito’s wife, Martha-Ann Alito, after the neighbor put up yard signs critical of Republicans. Justice Alito told the Times in a statement earlier this month that the flag was hoisted in response to a “neighbor’s use of objectionable and personally insulting language on yard signs.”
In this house we don’t believe in consequences.
Comment *
I think there’s an awful lot of those. 🙁
Days later, the Times published images of a second flag – the Appeal to Heaven flag – hoisted at Alito’s home in New Jersey. That flag, which has a history dating to the Revolutionary War, has also become a symbol for Trump’s supporters.
It’s too bad the British lost.
