OK, maybe we shouldn’t have had that last bottle. I mean, sometimes I have to recognize the passage of years and my less-than-optimal condition. But that just didn’t enter the picture when the corks started popping and the bottomless glasses started filling. And now, facing the crack of dawn and a day of manual labor, I have… regrets.
It’s a mixed bag whether to celebrate or regret people born on this date, who include a lady with (presumably) big hair; a guy famous for being tired; a guy who got high and paid the price for being right; a guy who actually did deserve to be hanged; the guy who could take credit for what Los Angeles is today; a guy who proved that no hypothesis is too outlandish for the Leftist nutcases; someone famous for throwing her hat in the ring; a guy who didn’t get ass-raped by mountain men; a guy who really and truly hated Larry David; my favorite TV cop; and a deeply weird person who can’t wait for you to tell her.

Korea used to smell like kerosene and kimchi. A lot.
It was because every shop, house and building was heated by a portable kerosene heater. I don’t know what happened to the kimchi smell, but as Korea got rich they started adding built in floor heating.
One summer I sublet my college apartment to some Koreans. When I returned it stank of cigarettes and kimchi. It took weeks to get rid of the smell.

Gotta love a woman who can be the official chief mistress of the king, and not alienate the queen.
I think the nature of man/woman relationships have varied greatly over time and place and thus the language describing it have as well.
I have no idea what ‘chief mistress to the king of France in mid-18th century’ means.
I believe the modern parlance is bottom bitch.
The great thing is, this was an official position. In Catholic France, even.
And of course, âchiefâ mistress implies there were sub-mistresses, as well.
I guess it really is good to be the king.
To be fair, it wasn’t without Biblical precedent. Although God seems to have stopped making exceptions for important men by the time Christ appeared.

It does not make sense to put a wall on a runway.
I’ve seen lots of runways that had hard stop walls and/or berms at the extreme end to prevent hitting highways or housing areas, etc.
There’s literally just a chain link fence and some gravel between Eastern Ave in Las Vegas and the far end of the LAS runways. When I first moved there it was somewhat jarring driving down the street and having planes landing right overhead (or right next to you, on Sunset).

Today is a shameful day in Texas history.
At the time of its approval, the commission said the law was expected to save at least 200 million euros ($208 million) per year and cut more than a thousand tonnes of EU electronic waste every year.
Why do I smell bullshit?
A thousand tons is 2 million pounds. Letâs say you get a new gizmo that doesnât fit the charger plug on your old charger, so you toss out the old charger, which probably weighs 2 – 4 ounces. That would have to happen 8 – 16 million times a year to get to a thousand tons.
Perhaps surprisingly, that’s not implausible.
To attribute the savings to a standardized charging port/plug, the only discarded chargers you can count are the ones tossed because your old one doesnât fit your new gizmoâs charging port. Not the ones you toss because a new charger came in the box with your new gizmo.
Ahh, but…
As part of their “green” initiatives, all of the major cell phone manufacturers stopped including chargers ages ago. And that’s “green” as in “greenbacks,” naturally.
I assume it’s also “green” not to include working links.
So by saving all the chargers in a drawer I’m saving the earth.

Indeed, on one side of the firm there millions of D-marks being dropped on new spaces for new programs for new componentry that required new tooling and new staff and new infrastructure, while on the other side of the firm other millions were being spent to divine how to reduce overheads, improve recyclability, and reduce the environmental footprint.

Losing to a twice-impeached convicted felon has left a small, but growing, number of Democrats wondering if their party brand is so toxic that they should shed the label â particularly in battleground and red states.
——-
John Morgan, the Florida-based Biden fundraiser considering a gubernatorial run, said he may launch a bid under a new party called the âCapitalist Party.â Morgan changed his registration from Democratic to independent a few years ago because he objected to the partyâs left flank and how some describe themselves as âDemocratic socialists.â
Morgan, who bankrolled an amendment in Florida to raise the minimum wage, said he would campaign as a âcompassionate capitalist.â And Florida, he said, could be where a new third party germinates.
âI donât know if Trump is a stable genius, but heâs a fucking genius,â Morgan said. âHe tapped into something the Republicans never saw, which was anger and populism on that side.â
It’s all about the messaging.
Perhaps sufficient time has elapsed that people won’t associate that with George W. Bush’s “compassionate conservatism.”
The time is now for compassionate fascism! For the good of all!!

Itâs been a week since a woman died in a New York City subway car, allegedly set on fire by a homeless, undocumented man. She has yet to be identified and the man charged with her murder says he doesnât even remember being there.
The crime has renewed focus on a set of multilayered and inextricable issues felt almost daily in Americaâs biggest city: homelessness, crime and the nationâs broken immigration system.
The killingâs gruesome details and videos from the scene spread quickly on social media, leaving lawmakers in New York to highlight the cityâs failure to provide housing, address the ongoing mental health crisis and improve public safety.
How did it get that way? The road to Hell is paved with “good intentions”.
They need to prog even harder!
If only the city had that one addition social worker taking home $400k a year in salary and benefits…
Because housing magically grants the ability to stop you from being a homicidal psychopath.
Never change, CNN.
PS. Why does it feel like this crime is being swept under the rug?
Because fuck you, that’s why?
I thought the illegal who set her on fire was staying in a hotel/shelter. IOW, the cityâs had provided him with housing.
They mean permanent housing. (Really.)
How did it get that way? By design, that is how.
Cuck.

Deidre would have a much bigger audience if she would post photos of the people who write in.
While much of the focus has been on Zapeta-Calilâs immigration status and the graphic nature of the crime, homelessness advocates said the case also highlights the struggle by state and local government to provide housing and services to people in dire need of them.
Dave Giffen, executive director for the Coalition for the Homeless, the countryâs oldest homeless advocacy and service organization, told CNN the attack underscores how deeply entrenched the issue is in the city.
âWhat is frustrating about all this is that when these horrible incidents happen and homeless people are victimized or in the rare instance that they are the perpetrator, they are used for political purposes rather than doing something to provide permanent housing and services,â Giffen said.
Further proof of the acute nature of the nationâs homelessness crisis was outlined in a Department of Housing and Urban Development report released Friday, showing the number of people experiencing homelessness on a single night in 2024 as the highest ever recorded.
Homelessness advocacy works. We have more than ever.
Greetings from sunny, not-terribly-cold Kearney, Nebraska, where we somehow scored a sweet suite and are taking our time leaving, as it’s only 6 hours to home. I will be so glad to be home. This trip has been nothing but a disaster.
Ugh, been there, done that.
You are now in Nebraska
Sorry to hear the trip was disastrous. I’ve had a few of those. I suspect family trips with my dad are the reason I never developed an interest in traveling. Best of luck on the drive home, and congrats on the suite, at least.
Yikes, sounds like I missed a good story.
Traveling the plains in winter is rarely without drama.
My uncle died. I love my uncle very much for many reasons. He was 93. My husband said, “You gonna go?” I was surprised. Didn’t really think about it. I wanted to go to my aunt’s funeral (his wife, my mom’s sister), but I was 7 months pregnant at the time, and it’s 16 hours to Orem, Utah from Kansas City, Missouri.
An idea was born.
And that was my first mistake.
It all started in the middle of Wyoming in 55+ mph winds. The driving was hard. My shoulder was aching. I asked to switch with my husband. Sure, no problem. At the rest stop, the wind tore my wallet away from me and in the catching of it (long story), I pulled my right pectoral muscle, which feels like I cracked a rib. I also lost $226 in cash to the wind, but I did NOT lose the rest of my wallet, which would have really complicated my life. Anyway, this was more traumatic for me than it would be to normal people.
So we get to Green River and I’m still upset. We stop for gas. It’s dark. I make plans to see a different aunt in Salt Lake for whenever after my uncle’s funeral. We get halfway to Evanston when the weather starts getting bad. Snow, ice. It’s so bad, it takes us 2 hours to get 60 miles.
The road from Evanston to Orem is Echo Canyon. It’s 90 miles all downhill, wind-y, windy, snowed/iced over, and in the dark. We just spent 60 miles doing 30 mph. NO WAY we are doing that. We get a hotel in Evanston. Shit falls off my bellhop cart, the snow is blowing, husband is trying to keep shit together. Lots of little irritations happening that wouldn’t be anything normally, but I hurt and I’ve lost $226 in cash, and not going to make our destination that night as planned.
The funeral is the next day at 11. We can’t get there in time. I am distressed. We decide to watch it on Facebook Live. We decide to stay another night and go home in the morning. I call my other aunt in Salt Lake and tell her we aren’t coming and she says that’s wise because the benches and valley are getting hit pretty hard. Okay.
Except, the funeral is NOT live because the funeral home had a glitch. I decide to work, so I go to the lobby where the “business center” is and it’s loud, echoey, gossipy, and the TV is blaring. The funeral is finally posted at 6p.
All that time and effort and energy just to get stopped 90 miles from our destination AND to miss the live feed.
My chest wall hurts like hell, so really, the only thing that happened after we left Evanston is that I’m in pain and can barely move. Lying down sucks. Moving sucks.
Everything else has been fine.
The last time I went through Evanston in the winter, headed for Twin Falls, Idaho, it was dry as a bone and my weather app lied to me.
So there you go. On paper, it’s nothing, but after losing my money and pulling my pec, it’s just been awful.
Holy shit, Mo.
That’s some epic disaster! Sorry you had to pull the eject handle, but I’m glad you guys didn’t wreck.
Safe travels back to home base.
Yikes! Sorry đ

Sorry Mojeaux.
And I was one of the ones suggested you go. Sorry.
Oh, no! Not your contribution or anything.
I had no inkling it would be like this. USUALLY, I get a feeling that I should or should not do something, but occasionally I chalk it up to my anxiety and do it anyway.
I mean, I got to spend time with my husband and really SEE him for the first time in a long time and how I do take him for granted, so there’s that.
I’m mostly blaming my weather app, to be honest.

Damn that sucks. But like Tundra said, at least you didnât wreck. Driving in severe winter conditions sucks. Iâve done a fair bit of it, despite living in SF as we are avid skiers and hit the Sierras as many times a winter as possible. We skied two days before Xmas and got up at 545am Christmas Eve morning to beat out a storm that was about to hit. We times it just about perfectly and it started up just as we were leaving the driveway. If we had waited just one more hour it would have been chain controls and way tougher driving conditions. For what it is worth I have found that wunderground.com has been the most accurate, down to the hour, weather forecast I have found. They have really nailed it on multiple winter trips for us. I always time drives now to make sure not to be doing mountain passes during bad conditions.
“Scientists have made a stark warning of an impending ‘Ultra-Intense Category 6’ storm hitting the US.
The prediction comes from an international team of over 60 experts who found the burning of fossil fuels has poured the equivalent energy into the Earth’s systems, heralding a dark new era of ‘mega-hurricanes.’
An ‘Ultra-âIntense Category 6’ storm would unleash winds of 192 miles per hour or higher and a rise in seawater exceeding 25 feet.”

Perhaps the messages he chalked up to bantz were more revealing than he thought, and her suspicion was well founded. He did, after all, do what she suspected him of. Nevertheless, if you have that little trust, and apparently that little reason to have any, just save the thousand bucks for a lawyer and end it. Somehow I doubt her suspicion would have been assuaged regardless of the outcome of the “test.”
Homelessness increased significantly across many of Americaâs biggest cities, driven by the affordable housing crisis, rising inflation and increased numbers of immigrants to the United States. Natural disasters also contributed, as well as the end of pandemic era homelessness prevention programs.
Another trillion bucks or so, and we’ll have this situation under control.
“A missing Tennessee teen was found alive in the Louisiana woods after having been left by a man who she met on an online gaming platform days earlier.
Alexander Materne, 28, allegedly drove the 14-year-old’s home in Tennessee before bringing her back to his home over 500 miles away in St. Rose, Louisiana.
The pair then allegedly engaged in ‘sexual acts’ after which she disclosed her age to Materne, a statement by the St. Charles Parish Sheriff’s Office reads.
At some point later, the underage female left the St. Rose location and Materne bought her a tent, food and water before abandoning her in a wooded area in Tangipahoa Parish.
Materne then traveled approximately 160 miles away, to Jennings, to celebrate Christmas with his family, leaving the girl stranded in the woods.”

President Biden privately regrets dropping out of this yearâs presidential election and reportedly insists he couldâve beaten President-elect Trump if he wasnât pushed out of the race by his own party.
Biden and some of his aides have boasted to confidantes âin recent daysâ that the president shouldâve stayed in the race and couldâve won a second term, the Washington Post reported Saturday citing multiple anonymous sources briefed on the conversations.

An inspiration to us all
After part of the iconic Santa Cruz Wharf collapsed into the ocean amid powerful waves on Monday, feathered culprits have been found to factor into the pierâs damage: seagulls.
Specifically, environmental requirements meant to protect the birds during their nesting season delayed necessary repairs to the 110-year-old structure, the Mercury News first reported.
A 2021 repair and maintenance plan for the wharf published by the California Coastal Commission states that repairs and maintenance are needed on the structure due to its âage, location, and construction material.â The plan also states that since seabirds like western gulls and pigeon guillemots are known to nest in the wooden columns that support the wharf, major repairs should take place outside of the birdsâ nesting period, which occurs from mid-February to the start of September.
That means major repairs â including the replacement of the pierâs wooden columns â must take place during what are generally the stormiest months of the year.
What are the odds the Coastal Commission will allow the pier to be rebuilt?
