FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – A dog and a woman were wounded during a shooting on Friday afternoon in Fort Lauderdale.
_
The shooting was on the sidewalk along Seabreeze Boulevard near Harbor Drive, police said.
_
A witness said a man’s dog was not on a leash and ran up to a woman with a dog.
_
“The victim’s dog got scared and bit the shooter and his dog which is when the guy pulled a pistol out of his pocket and shot the woman’s dog,” Joe Matelsky said.
I’m confused, it doesn’t sound as if the shooter was a cop?

Easy way to determine if the shooter was a cop – if identified as a “shooter” -not a cop. If a “gun discharged” – is a cop.

PAULDING COUNTY, Ga. — A Paulding County courtroom was filled with emotion as a judge sentenced a man to 475 years in prison for dog fighting and animal cruelty, marking the maximum penalty possible under the law.
I don’t support cruelty to animals, but this shit is so fucking retarded. Meanwhile, it’s like extracting teeth to get a 10 year sentence for kiddie diddlers and 2nd degree murderers.

As a growing number of cats have gotten sick or died after consuming raw pet food or raw milk contaminated with the H5N1 virus, health officials have advised pet food companies to take extra precautions to protect against bird flu.
_
In recent guidance, the Food and Drug Administration suggested that pet food manufacturers take precautions in their food safety plans, such as “seeking ingredients from flocks or herds that are healthy” and “taking processing steps, such as heat treatment, that are capable of inactivating viruses.”
Otherwise known as “cooking.” Which would kind of mean “not raw.” Which is why we developed this thing called applying fire to food about 200,000 years ago…

For over a decade, the steady decline of Britain’s pubs has been a slow-motion cultural tragedy. Recent figures confirm that the number of pubs across England and Wales has fallen below 39,000, a stark milestone in what feels like a long and painful last orders for a once vibrant institution. This isn’t just about economics or changing consumer habits – it’s about the systematic erosion of a cornerstone of British culture. Pubs have been sacrificed on the altar of public health, rising costs and political indifference.
_
Despite this decline often being blamed on the Covid-19 pandemic, the pressures squeezing the life out of pubs were well underway long before lockdowns. Rising energy bills, extortionate rents and relentless business rates have made it increasingly impossible for many landlords to turn a profit. Supermarkets selling bargain-bin booze and the rise of teetotalism among younger generations have compounded the problem. Let’s also not forget the draconian indoor-smoking ban of 2007, a decision that gutted the pub of its traditional atmosphere and drove many loyal patrons away. Add to this the stricter drink-driving laws that disproportionately hit rural pubs, and the picture becomes depressingly clear.

Mosquitos are a world wide plague.
Little known fact: Mosquitos have a fixed amount of activity and blood they must consume. The tropical ones spread that out all year long. The further away from the tropics you go the more they have to cram all of that activity into shorter and shorter windows of time. It gives the illusion that they are worse in some places than others.

They probably don’t have any paid parking…it’s only biz jets and other private aircraft (big software company is HQed here – they’re the major user of the airport). I can mop the floors, though.
And I will check out the software company for career-oriented opportunities, but those things usually take some time to get in the door, so I’ll need something I can get hired and trained right away.
I’m also going to see if there are any doggie daycares that can hire me part time.

I’m hoping that even through all the upheaval, I’ll still have a job. Sometimes it’s good to be on the operational side of things. I’ve already worked at State Dept in the past, so if they dissolve my agency and bring all its functions into State, hopefully there’s a place for me. Both of my bosses also came from State (that’s how I got the job).
I have only been unemployed for a few months since I was 22, and a few years since I was 14. That’s about 40 years of steady employment of all kinds. I have been laid off before, I have applied for unemployment before. But at 52, it’s a bit different than 30.

The CDC’s social vulnerability index and environmental justice index — tools that could show whether particular populations might face disproportionate health risks — have both been taken offline within the past week. In 2007, during the Bush administration, social scientists, geographers, and statisticians started developing the social vulnerability index (SVI), which incorporated demographic and socioeconomic factors including poverty, race, and ethnicity over the years.
The Biden administration launched the environmental justice index (EJI) in 2022. “Too many communities across our nation, particularly low-income communities and communities of color, continue to bear the brunt of pollution. Meeting the needs of these communities requires our focused attention and we will use the Environmental Justice Index to do just that,” then Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra said in a press release at the time.
Since stepping into office, Trump has tried to undo previous administrations’ work to address health disparities when it comes to race and gender. In an executive order Trump signed to undo Biden-era policies, the president wrote that “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI) has “corrupted” government institutions.
He has gutted public health. Everyone will die.

He also claimed that “climate extremism has exploded inflation and overburdened businesses with regulation.” During his first term in office, there was a near 40 percent decline in the term “climate change” across websites for federal environmental agencies. It’s too soon to know what the damage might be this time around, but some webpages have already vanished. The US Department of Transportation’s “priorities” website has removed pages on both “climate and sustainability” and “equity.” It follows an internal memo sent this week instructing USDOT operating administrations to identify and ultimately “terminate” Biden-era activities relating to climate change and DEI.

In addition to Black History Month, the agency also ordered the suspension of events marking Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month, National American Indian Heritage Month, LGBTQ Pride Month, Women’s History Month, Juneteenth, Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Holocaust Remembrance Day.

Federal agencies across the government have scrambled to comply with Trump’s executive order targeting DEI. Posts related to such initiatives have been removed from several government websites, including the Office of Personnel Management and the Homeland Security Department. Federal agency webpages that previously led to posts on diversity and accessibility resources now display a “Page Not Found — 404” error message. Agencies have been ordered to place DEI staff on paid leave while the government draws up plans for their dismissal.
Despite these orders, it appears the White House still plans to celebrate Black History Month. During her first briefing on Tuesday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt was asked if the Trump administration intended to mark the annual event.
“As far as I know, this White House certainly still intends to celebrate — and we will continue to celebrate American history and the contributions that all Americans, regardless of race, religion or creed, have made to our great country,” Leavitt told reporters before declaring that “America is back.”
But not the shit stirring commie panhandlers.

*Uproarious Cheers….cutoff abruptly*
“Wait, no capitalization, stop cheering, we misheard her…”
The Trump White House issued a proclamation Friday recognizing February as Black History Month around the same time the Defense Department issued guidance declaring “identity months dead.”
The conflicting messages came as President Donald Trump has been targeting diversity, equity and inclusion programs for removal in the first weeks of his administration. He has referred to DEI initiatives as “discrimination” and insisted that the country must instead move toward a merit-based society.
The White House proclamation calls for “public officials, educators, librarians, and all the people of the United States to observe this month with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities,” though there is no elaboration on what constitutes “appropriate.”
He’s going to round up all the black people and ship them back to Africa. Trump will host a fantastic going-away party on their behalf.
That’s a shaggy doggy.
I’m confused, it doesn’t sound as if the shooter was a cop?
Easy way to determine if the shooter was a cop – if identified as a “shooter” -not a cop. If a “gun discharged” – is a cop.
I guess you could say this is a man bites dog story, then?
I don’t support cruelty to animals, but this shit is so fucking retarded. Meanwhile, it’s like extracting teeth to get a 10 year sentence for kiddie diddlers and 2nd degree murderers.
/Michael Vick has entered the chat
I’m with you. Cruelty to animals is bad, cruelty to other humans is worse.
Correct. Wood chipper is the solution.
Otherwise known as “cooking.” Which would kind of mean “not raw.” Which is why we developed this thing called applying fire to food about 200,000 years ago…
Morning all.
Yes, it is called cooking.
Pat stirrin’ the shit already. I like it. Links would be good.
Raw food. Are we about to have the rare/medium rare/ well done discussion again?
Look Suthen, with something that isn’t ground meat like a hamburger I’ll take a chance on a medium rare steak.
OTH, this Japanese speaker is the only guy in his office who won’t eat sushi.
Listen, everybody’s entitled to kill themselves as they see fit. I’m a fan of rare beef, but you won’t catch me taking a shot at pink chicken.
I am not qualified to tell you what you like. I just give advice.
*hides raw oysters*
See, I don’t like raw oysters, but I LOVE raw tuna. Also rare steaks.
Well, we knew Winston’s mom was a bitch…
ya dirty dog!
My most definitely non Asian grandmother loved those butter cookies. I remember eating them all the time at their house.
I still like them.
Butter cookies were my go-to when I formerly had to arrange meeting refreshments for a Board which included a director who never let you forget that she couldn’t eat anything with corn or soy. 🙄 Have you ever tried to find commercially-sold cookies without corn syrup or soy in some form?
Luckily, they’re really good AND the packaging makes them look classy. My problem was that I had a hard time throwing away the empty tins, and they do start to pile up…
Without saving all those tins, where would we put notionals, unsorted screws, puzzle pieces, etc.?
I0b0t: Mason jars?
Inorite??? Inspired at an impressionable age by the Useful Pot that Pooh gave to Eeyore, I am a notorious
hoardercollector of (potentially) Useful Boxes, and Useful Tins are just that much more worthy ofhoardingprudently saving.*Suthenboy shows up to meeting bearing corn chips, Queso, peanut butter cookies and assorted soft drinks*
Squenched up face chorus begins – “I am allergic to peanuts!” “I have celiac’s disease!” “I cant eat corn or soy!” “I am lactose intolerant!” “I dont drink soda!”
“Yeah? Sorry to hear that. Dont worry, no one is going to make you eat it.” *begins crunching chips*
“That’s okay – this is pop!” 😁
GT, cut us some slack. It is too early to get comment of the day.
*down here the generic term for soft drinks is ‘coke’.
Surely you don’t insult that elixir of the gods known as Dr. Pepper by calling it “coke”!!!/never a cola drinker
That is a strange way to spell “Mountain Dew”.
I like Mountain Dew (and Mello Yello,) too, but the belches will bring you to your knees.
Hmph. One of the two things that are wrong with Mountain Dew is that it doesn’t have enough carbonation.
The other being that you can’t get it with real sugar most anywhere.
It isn’t so much the carbonation that makes the burps deadly so much as the…strong flavor.
@rhywun – yeah, Mountain Dew Throwback (made with healthy pure cane sugar) was fairly common all the way up to the pandemic around here. Then it unceremoniously disappeared. I can still find Dr. Pepper with cane sugar from time to time. It’s the only time I drink soda. With passover coming up, I’ll keep my eyes out for (((Coke))) sweetened with beet sugar. Easy to spot 2 litres with yellow caps instead of white with Hebrew writing on the cap. They used to dedicate and endcap to them at Belden’s when I lived in Houston. And would go on sale right after Passover to clear out the inventory.
The battle for Britain’s pubs
I’m glad I stopped enjoying a night at the bar or the club not long after our own draconian indoor-smoking bans.
But I wouldn’t be surprised if bars are dying in the US too since we have all of the same phenomena happening here.
I have always said that governments are outgrowths of cultures. Dictators do not disseminate oppression from above. People impose that on themselves.
Recent intersting example I heard –
“When you start running short on committed communists the inmates will take up the slack and start running the gulags”
I have zero sympathy for the pommies.
For that matter, for us either. All of this misery is self-inflicted.
Here a while back, luckily, I lost a ‘friend’
He and his girlfriend were blathering on about gender insanity and I Interrupted him. I casually said “Women, they dont have peckers. I checked. They dont have ’em. ”
He and his girlfriend were very offended. I haven’t heard from them since. I guess I rub some people the wrong way. It doesnt exactly keep me up at night.
Teetotalism among the youth? When I was a teen the goal was to be like Bluto from Animal House. They’ve taken all the fight out of these young people.
This.
There seems to be an epidemic of ‘stick up the ass’ and the related disorder of thinning skin amongst the yoot.
I think the smoking ban was a wash. There are many patrons like me who wouldn’t drink in a smoky bar. The Brits are trying to ban smoking anywhere near the pub, just to be assholes.
The real problem is that the UK is going into a deep recession thanks to their insane government.
Already the case here. And nobody cares that we’ve ceded powers to our overlords that they should not even have because Children! or some shit.
I don’t get out to the bar much, but when I do, I like to have the occasional cig as well. Fortunately, we have several bars around that fall outside city limits and allow smoking. Of all the places in the world, I got chased out of a bar in Vegas in November for lighting up. I remember when Silver City Casino was the only place you couldn’t smoke in Vegas.
Give me a strong cup of coffee and I will eat a whole tin of Danish butter cookies.

“I can’t wait until American women can’t get blueberries for their smoothies,” she said. “I cannot wait until there is a full crackdown on all small businesses”…
Tell me you’re 20yrsold without telling me you’re 20yrsold.
it is winter here and I get blueberries from Chile for about 1 dollar for 100g so I guess Americans will live
Sorry not sorry.
I am resisting being a Trump fan. How many way overdue sensible things is he going to do?
Be patient. He will do something rant-worthy soon.
Today in silly things that made Pie laugh I saw an internet conversation between an American from Alaska talking about mosquitos and a non American surprised that there are mosquitoes in Alaska cause he though only warm climates have mosquitoes and the answer was “the mosquito is the state bird of Alaska” and for some reason i found that funny.
I’ve heard the same about other U.S. states with large mosquito populations.
A popular joke in certain U.S. states. See also: Minnesota (probably on account of all those lakes.) Don’t leave cats or small dogs unattended in your yard lest the ‘skeeters carry them away!
Mosquitos are a world wide plague.
Little known fact: Mosquitos have a fixed amount of activity and blood they must consume. The tropical ones spread that out all year long. The further away from the tropics you go the more they have to cram all of that activity into shorter and shorter windows of time. It gives the illusion that they are worse in some places than others.
so can I assume there is a mosquito or two in Louisiana ?
I recall looking at some rural property in WI one summer years ago. It was mostly wooded. I was by myself, so I got out of the truck and decided to take a piss. As soon as I was, err, fully committed, I was swarmed by mosquitos. Probably a couple dozen bites, minimum, before I could do anything to defend myself.
I passed on the property.
I bought that property and have not had many visitors and then not for very long.
…and moved it to Minnesoda…
Mosquitos in warm climates have plenty of time to feed and reproduce. Northern mosquitos seem to get much larger and are in a real hurry to drain your blood.
The state bird of Minnesota is the mosquito. The state tree is the telephone pole.
I wonder if the killer fake-nun cult bears any relation to the killer transsexual vegan cult?

Joking aside, a properly functioning WHO does some good work in the world. We should have dropped out in 2020, and invited the civilized world and countries that were willing to be honest actors (i.e., not China) to join the GHO or whatever we’d call it.

Help me come up with ideas for jobs to apply to in a small town that aren’t customer-facing. Like, I don’t think I have it in me to be a cashier, but I could stock shelves or something. I was thinking of going to our little local airport to see if they had any menial jobs.
(this is contingency – as of now I’m still employed. But I’m kind of panicking.)
The Clermont Lounge is too customer-facing, BTW, in case anyone was going to suggest that.
Is the local airport too small to have paid long-term parking? A retired teacher of my former acquaintance worked for a time as an attendant/cashier at airport-adjacent parking. Minimal customer contact, and in between I believe she read.
They probably don’t have any paid parking…it’s only biz jets and other private aircraft (big software company is HQed here – they’re the major user of the airport). I can mop the floors, though.
And I will check out the software company for career-oriented opportunities, but those things usually take some time to get in the door, so I’ll need something I can get hired and trained right away.
I’m also going to see if there are any doggie daycares that can hire me part time.
Local FBO’s always need ramp rats. You get to wear a sweet reflective vest and fuel planes, and wave the glowy wands around.
Manufacturing, distribution, that sort of thing might have what you’re looking for. The airport was a good idea. You could always learn to code. Oh wait you already know how to do that, don’t you?
My JavaScript and PHP could use some work…
Any fulfillment places around? My buddy has a business that warehouses materials for companies and then picks and ships. Low key but the people in the back seem to really dig it.
Amazon…🤔
Don’t do that. Find a smaller place. You strike me as someone who would be excellent in a small business.
Agreed! Stood underselling yourself!
You’ll still occasionally interact with customers if you stock.
Grocery store night shift won’t have customers, but you do work! Retailers that stock at night would be another option, but I don’t know how many do that.
I’m hoping that even through all the upheaval, I’ll still have a job. Sometimes it’s good to be on the operational side of things. I’ve already worked at State Dept in the past, so if they dissolve my agency and bring all its functions into State, hopefully there’s a place for me. Both of my bosses also came from State (that’s how I got the job).
I have only been unemployed for a few months since I was 22, and a few years since I was 14. That’s about 40 years of steady employment of all kinds. I have been laid off before, I have applied for unemployment before. But at 52, it’s a bit different than 30.
I could check out the ranges around town, too. Maybe I can get training as an RSO (I realize that’s customer-facing, but it’s also not facing mass numbers of the general public like the grocery store, etc.)
I don’t know that that pays – seems to be a volunteer gig with the ones I’ve been a member of.
If you want to move solid objects, how about shipping clerk, or parts person at a large repair shop? Takes more knowledge and intelligence than stocking shelves, but pays better.
From your posts, sounds like you’d enjoy working on a cruise ship. Any bartender skills?
Good morning!
Thanks for the lynx Winston – you seem like an exceptional pup. You and my boy Max probably would have been pals.

The CDC’s social vulnerability index and environmental justice index — tools that could show whether particular populations might face disproportionate health risks — have both been taken offline within the past week. In 2007, during the Bush administration, social scientists, geographers, and statisticians started developing the social vulnerability index (SVI), which incorporated demographic and socioeconomic factors including poverty, race, and ethnicity over the years.
The Biden administration launched the environmental justice index (EJI) in 2022. “Too many communities across our nation, particularly low-income communities and communities of color, continue to bear the brunt of pollution. Meeting the needs of these communities requires our focused attention and we will use the Environmental Justice Index to do just that,” then Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra said in a press release at the time.
Since stepping into office, Trump has tried to undo previous administrations’ work to address health disparities when it comes to race and gender. In an executive order Trump signed to undo Biden-era policies, the president wrote that “diversity, equity, and inclusion” (DEI) has “corrupted” government institutions.
He has gutted public health. Everyone will die.
Remember what life was like back in 2005? Bodies stacked up like cordwood in the streets.
ICE raided a Mexican restaurant nearby and arrested three undocumented migrants. The article stated that one of them “moved here from Mexico 24 years ago”. None had any criminal records so they were given case numbers for immigration court and released. Local prog’s are up in arms and referring to it as Kristallnacht and this is just like Hitler rounding up Jews.

Don’t care. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
I wanna see some progs “migrate” to another country without their permission and see how that works out for them.
Fuck migrating. I had to get a passport for myself and 2 other family members to go to fucking Canada. Total cost was over $300. I had to cross at a recognized crossing, present my passports, and be subject to interrogation and search. On the way back, I had to wait in a long line and to the same thing.
I was visiting for a weekend and pumping a few grand into their economy. I wasn’t using their social services, schools, or so called healthcare system. I was visiting for a long weekend.
I guess I should have just flipped off the customs guys and tell them that borders are racist.
He also claimed that “climate extremism has exploded inflation and overburdened businesses with regulation.” During his first term in office, there was a near 40 percent decline in the term “climate change” across websites for federal environmental agencies. It’s too soon to know what the damage might be this time around, but some webpages have already vanished. The US Department of Transportation’s “priorities” website has removed pages on both “climate and sustainability” and “equity.” It follows an internal memo sent this week instructing USDOT operating administrations to identify and ultimately “terminate” Biden-era activities relating to climate change and DEI.
He’s sweeping global warming under the rug. How will anybody know the damage it does?

Just days before the start of Black History Month, employees from the Pentagon’s intelligence agency received a memo notifying them that all activities related to the annual commemoration were now banned.
According to a memo obtained by NBC News, the Defense Intelligence Agency ordered a pause of all activities and events related to 11 “special observances” in compliance with President Donald Trump’s ban on DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) programs in the federal workplace.
In addition to Black History Month, the agency also ordered the suspension of events marking Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month, National American Indian Heritage Month, LGBTQ Pride Month, Women’s History Month, Juneteenth, Martin Luther King Jr. Day and Holocaust Remembrance Day.
How will the nation survive?
I have an hour long presentation on Frederick Douglass to do for one of the church’s “Black History Month” presentations. I’m calling him a “Crusader for Human Liberty” and found five quotes from his speeches that are solidly libertarian in tone. If any of you are at all involved in, or roped into, Black history Month events make sure to push back against all the DEI commie crap that gets promoted.
And I thought church wasn’t for me BEFORE they introduced homework.
