Scene from the last Glibs meet-up.
Off today for another voyage in NPR Ladyland. The last encounter with one was full of fireworks, but not the fun-to-watch kind. Well, maybe it would be fun for OTHER people watching, but… it was bloody. She actually was a Sandalista in the ’80s, truly passionate about cutting kids dicks off if they decided to play “Let’s Be A Fashionable Tranny” with their psychotic parents, thinks there’s actually a difference between Team Red and Team Blue, and has difficulty believing that organizations in the government have an actual political agenda beyond their stated ambit. Now, to be fair, she’s a very bright and articulate woman, which makes this sort of addlepation particularly puzzling. Anyway, today’s adventure promises to be even bloodier- she’s a giant with razor-sharp intelligence who has Preet Bharara on speed dial.
Birthdays today include the originator of disposable cars; a guy without whom Disney would be another unknown failed animation auteur; perhaps my favorite comic actor (as opposed to acting comic); the definitive Jed Clampett; the inspiration for generations of pigs; Sloopy’s fantasy woman; arguably the finest female voice in classic pop; an actually interesting “public intellectual”; a guy who died before he could record my outgoing voice mail message; and a guy who was a real riot.
So I suppose we should have some actual links before the clotting sets in.
It’s like they want to keep reminding us of who the shooter was.
I find everyone in this story to be awful.
There’s one or two pieces of this way-overly-long article that are worthwhile, but it’s a great illustration of a Prog seeing that regulation is horribly stupid but is compelled by the worship of authority to defend it.
How stupid are people? Here’s another argument for “very.”
“…and then they took babies out of their incubators and left them on the floor to die.”
I’d say that Old Guy Music is appropriate, wouldn’t you agree? It’s also irresistibly delightful.
Four black people?
Steamboat Willie having sound was a big thing though.
The Fleischer brothers were better anyway.
Now, to be fair, she’s a very bright and articulate woman, which makes this sort of addlepation particularly puzzling.
Uh huh, now do religion (or lack thereof).
Appropriate (my free article this month, so long relevant quote).
That’s part of it along with the destruction of parental rights and the family but, certainly, there is a corporate class out there that would certainly prefer a workforce of carbon based machines. The Cathars didn’t have the advantage of fine tuned mass psychological fuckery that the trans movement and its enablers have though.
I like this kind of reminder of cyclical human stupidity because it undercuts people with a simple-minded focus on Marx.
“my free article this month”
I don’t even get one a month. While I understand they need to make money, reducing their readership reduces their political influence.
GoodLuck OMWC.
Seems to be more trouble than they are worth.
In today’s “Adventures of OMWC” takes us deep into uncharted waters.
“Dear Diary, today I decided to to traverse…”
From the pages of a hand written survival manual…
Where the shakey “found camera” video footage??
Why is OMWC standing in the corner?
If they operate on the basis of emotion, it doesn’t matter how smart they are. The smart ones just rationalize it better.
Quite possibly my all time favorite Taj (along with his cover of “Fishin’ Blues.”) Needs to be the theme of Honey Harvest!
Aforementioned “Fishin’ Blues.” Longish intro, but worth it for Taj’s brief impression of Bob Dylan. 😄
“The smart ones just rationalize it better.”
Indeed. Which means the smarter you are, the more likely you may be to believe crazy shit.
Maybe? I’ve known lots of dumb people who believed all sorts of superstitious nonsense. More likely, the smarter someone is the more they can believe complicated crazy shit.
Smart people tend to concentrate in academia – it’s probably that simple.
I found academia to be a hotbed of highly intelligent people who preferred to be insulated from reality.
The thing about academia is that it’s quite narrowed. There are scholars out there who may only be talking to a handful of people on the planet who care about and/or understand said niche. These people are absolutely brilliant within the confines of their field.
But when it comes to any topic outside of that niche, they are just as fucking stupid as your average college freshman watching MSNBC and proclaiming to know the best practices of an industry they’ve never experienced.
“So crazy that only someone with an advanced degree could believe it.” is a thing.
DON’T STICK IT IN CRAZY.
Dude.
My inference, concerning your dating life (it *is* dating, right? You’re not trying to hire an office assistant, are you?) is that you are looking solely at their INT, and maybe their CHA, when you should first focus on their WIS.
WIS, then CON, (or, depending on your kink, DEX). After that, CHA. Only then consider INT.
Needz moar TLAs.

Really need to define which gamming system before we start optimizing.
and are we taking adventurer, commoner, or expert?
NERD!!
I have 9 levels of Nerd, 7 levels of Geek (which uses CHA instead of INT for spell casting), and 3 levels of Dork, for the bonus feat.
“I find everyone in this story to be awful.”
Now that I read the whole thing, the nine-year-old girl seems OK.
OMWC is just upset that he didn’t get a shot at the kid.
Being very smart at one thing doesn’t prevent someone from being a crayon-eating moron at other things. People who are very smart at one thing often don’t understand this.
In fact very smart at one thing people often suffer from the delusion that they are therefore smart about many things.
To avoid that trap, I have worked hard to not be smart at anything.
Sort of Dunning-Kruger syndrome where one does not have to be smart at anything.

“Trans protests target legislation restricting drag shows, gender transition procedures for children”
Who would have ever thought the mutilating kids hill would be the one to die on? Five years ago that was unthinkable yet here we are.
Pepperidge Farms remembers when mutilating the genitals of little girls was a social outrage, thanks to our importation of certain African/ME cultural products. Even some screaming about the genital mutilation of little boys.
They didn’t have an issue with the practice apparently, just the motivation for it. If it’s in the service of leftism and possibly grooming they seem to think it’s all well and good.
You know, it would be possible to write an article that at first glance supports transgender surgery, but in the end is revealed to be advocating FGM. You just have to hide the cultural context until the reveal.
“[I]t would be possible to write an article…”
Nope, I don’t believe it. Nosiree. Not a bit of it. And the only way you can convince me is to do so.
Twould serve no purpose here good sir.
Not among our core readership, but stuff published here gets linked and may reach someone who normally wouldn’t be here and change that person’s mind. Think of the on-topic comments as a peer-review. You can also submit the piece elsewhere; we only retain the right to publish, you still own the piece and can republish it elsewhere. Or mimeograph it as a pamphlet and distribute it on streetcorners while delivering rants punctuated with your own spittle in true Glibs form.
Actually LOL

LED bulbs: I haven’t had any problems with them and I even like the light but I don’t buy the elcheapos. I hate the idea of them being mandated though. Why not just let the market handle it? If they’re improved to the point that they’re on par with incandescents people will naturally gravitate.
Because the market it icky and people may make the wrong choice.
Why not just let the market handle it?
Because that is freedom, and those who worship power don’t like freedom for anyone but themselves.
No problems here either. I got a case of them cheap from my electric company, so my neighbors probably even helped pay for them.
But… when this article is rewritten next year with “gas stoves” in place of “incandescents” THEN I will raise holy hell.
An electric car mandate is in the works, also, but no mandate to generate enough extra electricity to keep the EVs running.

It’s insane. The biggest grift in history is going to leave the rest of us scratching in the dirt for roots.
No, it’s going to end with a lot of elitists (and pseudo-elitists) fertilizing that dirt.
Eventually, I hope. I wonder what the last straw might be.
Yeah. Why can’t someone sell artisanal incandescent bulbs? Like, who the hell is out there levying the $542/bulb fines? Who are these horrible Dolores Umbridges?

perhaps my favorite comic actor (as opposed to acting comic)
Happy birthday Jerry Lewis!
I’d argue that he was an excellent non-comic actor (King of Comedy was a gem), but an absolutely dreadful comic actor.
I dare you to get your next date with HEY LADYYYY.

I think the real problem came when he started directing himself. He was pretty darn good with the technical parts of framing scenes and moving the camera, but keeping himself in check?

Narrow voting options, like not allowing them to vote in more than one state?
And here I thought only black people were too dumb to figure out how to obtain a state ID card—I guess it’s college students, too.
Relevant to Old Guy Music.
If I hadn’t posted “Queen Bee” from the Streisand A Star is Born recently I would have posted that instead.
An article from Zerohedge, posted yesterday
The headline caught my attention: “they’re all libertarians until their deposits are at risk”. It’s a slightly altered quote from someone in the article, who said: “They are all libertarians until they are hit by higher interest rates.”
The article’s author makes his meandering way through to his point, which is that we should have commodity money (that’s how I interpret what he’s trying to say). Unfortunately, he does not one time mention the problem of fractional reserve banking.
https://www.zerohedge.com/personal-finance/theyre-all-libertarians-until-their-deposits-are-risk
Should I be removing the “s” at the end of “https”?
No.
You should not visit any site without the “s”.
Your original html tag, minus the brackets, read thusly:
a href=”//www.zerohedge.com/personal-finance/theyre-all-libertarians-until-their-deposits-are-risk”” rel=”nofollow ugc”
I think the problem was the two sets of quote marks “” at the end of the url.
You can safely strip bullshit like rel=”nofollow ugc” or anything after the question mark (if there is one).
Pro-tip: When faced with a url with a bunch of bullshit at the end (generally tracking or other stuff that is not your friend) I strip that out and refresh the link to make sure it still works and link to the BS-free version of the url if it does work.
Thanks!

How many comments before someone invokes the Jews? I’ll take the under on six.
You lost that one.
But they definitely misunderstand bank deposits and unsecured creditors.
It must be because the whites supremacists are all at Palm Sunday services
It’s some ways down the comment page, but someone did say, “Mazel tov. ~the bankers”.
After that, someone said “libertarians are antisemitic”. That was followed by, “no, they are homosexual satanists”.
There was a long, multi-post explaining that fractional reserve banking artificially inflates asset prices, but when those prices deflate, and banks have to foreclose on the loans they made, and reclaim the assets that secured the loans, the banks find that the asset is worth less than the loan amount, and so fail.
So, the denizens of ZH are about as retarded as the DU crowd.
I’m starting to think most people everywhere are retarded.
Including myself.
I’ve never thought I was any kind of genius; but compared to so many people, I have to re-assess.
An article on banks on zerohedge? I bet (((the topic))) doesn’t even come up.
A new survey, drawing notice in academia, shows that 1 in 4 applicants decided against applying to a college this year solely because of the politics in its state.
The finding, long rumored in college admissions circles, has dire implications for some of the nation’s most prestigious institutions.
Is there anybody in the galaxy dumb enough to think this has not been true forever?
What a gaggle of hyperventilating nitwits.
If you don’t want to be forced into getting jabbed with experimental gene therapies, I can understand why you would avoid a whole host of states, but particularly California and New York.
There’s no state requirement in NY (or any state that I am aware of) but I am curious if “red-state” colleges require the jab. I would not be surprised if they did.
It’s more of an estimation of the general hostility to the unjabbed than anything else.
Fair enough. I haven’t experienced any such thing even in NYC but I don’t really do anything so there’s that.
Also, a bellwether for which states might require universal jabs for residents (ie, anyone within their borders) in the future.
Not sure how to interpret some of this.

Applications for the program are down 2/3rd’s.
Not sure if this is at other schools in the state.
Heap big horse-shit story.
Are they saying that horses were in the Americas prior to Europeans bringing them?
Which reminds me of something in one of Dr. Sowell’s books: the reason that Europeans discovered America and not the other way around is that Europeans had horses, who were bred to transport heavy loads of grain and the like inland from seaports, so that large, ocean-going ships made sense. You didn’t need large ships if what they carried would only rot on the docks.
Yes, that is exactly what they are saying because their oral history is soooooooooo reliable. Probably even more reliable than those stupid traditions that were literate, you know – Jews (and Christians and Muslims).
Just don’t fucking call that science.

How’s the snowpack, Fourscore?
It’s deep though it has started to settle. We’re expecting 10-12 inches more on Tuesday/Wednesday but then suddenly it shifts gears and spring springs, every day in the 40s and sunshine. It’ll go fast except we have so much it’s going to take all of April. Expect much flooding down the Mississippi. Lakes here will be full this summer.
There’s no state requirement in NY (or any state that I am aware of) but I am curious if “red-state” colleges require the jab. I would not be surprised if they did.
I bet you’d be hard pressed to find an institute of “higher learning” anywhere in the country which did not have its own mandatory jab rule.
Because, you know, SCIENCE!
“Tornado victims reveal harrowing stories of survival as death toll hits 26 after dozens of twisters tore through America’s South and Midwest: Towns are ‘unrecognizable’ and 420,000 remain without power”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11929453/Death-toll-hits-26-Americas-South-Midwest-hit-tornadoes.html
Yikes! Hope all of you are OK.
The headline caught my attention: “they’re all libertarians until their deposits are at risk”. It’s a slightly altered quote from someone in the article, who said: “They are all libertarians until they are hit by higher interest rates.”
I saw that a few times as, “There are no atheists in foxholes, and no libertarians in financial crises.”
A lot of the commenters to the article were urging ownership of gold and silver, to weather the crisis. “If you don’t own gold, you’re not a real libertarian!”
We’re so far removed from a “libertarian” banking system, I’m not sure it matters.
At this point, I just don’t want them to go full commie by ending commercial banking and will support just about anyone who opposes that along with me.
will support just about anyone
Unfortunately, that usually doesn’t end with what you hope for.
The alternative definitely ends with what I hope to avoid.
Just shut up and swallow the black pill.
Watch for the day when government benefits (SNAP, Medicare, Social Security, and on and on) are paid in Central Bank Digital Currency.
It already effectively is – it isn’t like you get an actual check let alone physical currency (or little chunks of some precious commodity).
But I can get physical currency at a 1-1 exchange rate the day it deposits. No controls on how I spend it, let alone controls mediated by ‘social credit score’ or other nanny-ism (other, of course, than what already applies to physical currency).
Otherwise, why are ‘we’ all in a tizzy over CBDC?
I am not clear, myself, on the difference between the dreaded CBDC and 99% of the current dollars in existence, which exist only in digital form. If we had a social credit restrictions on money now, in what way would CBDC make it worse when the financial system restricts your access to money? I’m not convinced that the 1% of dollars that exist as cash is really that much a bulwark against that nightmare scenario.
The distinction is one where nominally private banks act as an intermediary and one where they don’t. Under a true CBDC, all banking gets rolled up to the Fed and the Fed either gets absorbed into the Treasury or becomes so aligned as for it not to matter.
At that point, all banking is explicitly political and you have no choices left.
How apropos.
https://thepostmillennial.com/budweiser-celebrates-biological-male-dylan-mulvaneys-365-days-of-girlhood
From the article: “Mulvaney met with President Biden at the White House and received a letter of congratulations from Vice President Kamala Harris on having spent a full year documenting the gender change on social media.”
Yeah, the FedGov is pushing this movement, say I. I bet this Mulvaney character was hand-picked to do this. Probably some other guy who was transitioning for real is sitting in his room, not seeing any clicks at all on his hours of video documenting his life, and wondering how Mulvaney got so popular.
I doubt she was picked by the government. They picked her because she is big on Tik Tok.
I still would not be surprised if it turned out Mulvaney’s uncle is an FBI agent, or something.
“Mulvaney used the project to become a social media influencer, and the efforts, including facial feminization surgery and publicly taking estrogen, were successful.”
She’s had FFS, but is she on estrogen? Doesn’t look like it.
Anyway, if it’s not an April Fools joke, no idea how that is going to sell more beer.
Oh I get it, trans women are bud lights.
Yeah, oldsters are often fond of all-inclusive resorts.
Alternatively
That’s probably the sole focus of their faith, though.
More than their conservative peers, liberals voiced specific concerns in the survey about becoming trapped in a state with no abortion rights, intolerance of the queer community and Wild-West gun laws.
You’ll need the right to own a gun. It sounds like you might have to shoot your way out of there.
Rhetorical question: I keep hearing about all these bright, focused, dialed-in young women who choose their college based on abortion laws, because all bright young women go to college with the expressed intention of getting knocked up. It’s a wonder to me that these young women, in ll their wide ranging research, have apparently never heard that there are effective ways of preventing pregnancy.
They only get pregnant because they’ve been raped, and practicing contraception is just facilitating rape. As opposed to getting black-out drunk.

Good morning, Old Man!
I have questions.
Why are you dating NPR ladies?
What kind of guitar is Taj playing in that video?
Why does the first sip of coffee in the morning taste better than all the subsequent ones?
It’s the same thing for beer.
1. There are no others that I can find.
2. I do not know, but the NPR lady I’m seeing today certainly will. King Tricone, maybe?
3. Because it’s the freshest and gets the fuzz off your tongue.
2. I do not know, but the NPR lady I’m seeing today certainly will. King Tricone, maybe?
Hmm. Looks like you guessed correctly.
Pretty sweet.
I call shenanigans. That Chernobyl article took a whole lot of words to say “normally green frogs turned black.” No substance there at all.
And then found themselves oppressed by the frogs that still had green privilege?
I question how 302 feral dogs are finding food.

Oh Philly, you so crazy.

I love news sites that will put any garbage ads on their site just to make a few cents.
Speaking of LEDs- I discovered (purely by accident, of course) that a “4000” LED (I don’t know if that number represents a wave length or a frequency) seems to be a better approximation of natural light than a 5000.
Now, will I be able to find any more of those, on purpose? Probably not.
That’s color temperature, I believe. Rule of thumb – the higher the color temperature, the bluer the light.
Yes, something around 3000 is considered “warm” light, similar to most incandescents, has more red in the spectrum.. 5000-6000 would be outdoor bright sunshine, with more bluelight. 4000 somewhere in between.
The last large light fixture I bought had a selectable color temperature, but it wasn’t cheap. I definitely liked the lowest color temperature setting I think it was 2800. The other rule of thumb is for the current generation of LEDs the lower color temperature ones are generally less efficient, but not enough to matter in most cases.
Our phone-controllable lightbulbs (Yes, I know, one day they will turn on us) in our family room have adjustable color temperatures (in addition to colors and patterns and things.)
Pope Francis should have given up modern medicine for Lent.

That’s color temperature, I believe.

Warming up for the big show
Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom of California praised Walt Disney World for its “masterclass” of putting Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida “back in his place” after the company created a loophole to maintain control of its land.
“I guess there’s a new sheriff in town,” Newsom told Insider on Saturday, in a not-so-subtle reference to a comment DeSantis made when he appointed a new board to oversee Disney’s district.
“It’s Mickey Mouse, back on top,” Newsom added.
——-
During a wide-ranging interview, Newsom told Insider he was certain DeSantis would retaliate, saying he’s “incapable of not.” But he argued the Disney maneuver hurt the governor politically, at a time when he appears to be slipping in the polls when placed in a hypothetical 2024 matchup for the Republican nomination for president.
“It’s a bit of a yellow flag, if not a red flag, for DeSantis and a very perilous time for him politically, too, because he’s struggling right now,” Newsom said, calling the national attention to DeSantis an “over-hype.”
Battle of the snake oil salesmen, coming soon.
I guess there’s a new sheriff in town
The sheriff is near?
Gavin probably even made the interviewer clean up after.
Gavin is salivating at the chance to run against Trump as he knows he would almost surely win that matchup. He doesn’t want to face Florida Man as he knows that would be the end of his political career. The last thing he wants is a lot more time at home with his wife commiserating about Harvey’s fish genitals.
I have no idea who wins what anymore.
In a sane world, the elitist prick who is driving the middle class out of his state should not be a serious contender but we don’t have that anymore.
Now do all those businesses that defied you fucking covid orders, Gavin.
That’s just what I was thinking.
Newsom accused DeSantis of engaging in the feud with Disney to draw attention, and of showing “arrogance” and a “semi-authoritarian bent” in his “overreach” policies. He said Disney was defending itself from DeSantis’ “assault on their private free expression as a corporate citizen.”
Gavin “Personal Autonomy” Newsom, folks. Give him a nice round of applause.
KorpurAshuns are not people!!,!
Why did Tesla relocate corporate to TX again? I forgot Gavin, please do tell.
I wonder how Gavin would feel if a wrong-thinking corporation used a legally-questionable gimmick to tell the State of California to fuck off?

RIP CHAZ
One of the comments there is absolute truth and something that almost never is acknowledged by commies (and the first one even anti commies).
| As someone who was born in a Soviet Republic, there are two categories of people that communists immediately discard, even worse than lumpenproletariat. That is:
1. The “degenerates” — Once the revolution is achieved, Communists always, always become very socially conservative.
2. The “useless eaters.” This was written into the Soviet constitution, even: “Honest work for the good of society: Those who don’t work, don’t eat.”
Interesting, hadn’t thought of that.
We could use a little more of that here.

If I am reading it right, both the seller (The Long family) and the buyer (State Sen. Brian Dahle) were ok with canceling the sale. That should have been the end of it, no?
It seems the fair itself had a rule that all the animals it auctioned off were to be slaughtered and processed. As the mother took it from the fair itself and not the new owner they were the ones that made the criminal complaint.
It’s not clear from the article, but I suspect the sale was more of a benefit for the fair and that the animal was auctioned to the senator, but the fair was to receive the goat for a charity BBQ or something.
I believe Shakespeare summed this situation up nicely with the law is an ass.
“Climate change is real, and it will have negative impacts overall. That’s a fact.”

Really?
Negative impact for some, positive impact for others.
I notice they didn’t put “man-made” in front of “climate change”, but I suspect “man-made” is supposed to be understood, even though the climate changes despite what mankind wants or does; climate doesn’t even care.
“A Manhattan parking garage attendant who was shot twice while confronting an alleged thief — then wrestled the gun away and opened fire on the suspect — has been charged with attempted murder, police said.
The overnight worker, identified by cops as Moussa Diarra, 57, was also hit with assault and criminal possession of a weapon charge in the Saturday incident, which unfolded around 5:30 a.m. as the attendant saw a man peering into cars on the second floor of the West 31st Street garage, the sources said.
Believing the man was stealing, the attendant brought him outside and asked what was inside his bag.
Instead of cooperating, the man pulled out a gun, the sources said.
Diarra tried to grab for the weapon, and it went off — leaving him shot in the stomach and grazed in the ear by a bullet before he turned the firearm on the would-be thief and shot him in the chest, sources said.”

The Maywood-based facility, now managed by the Stepan Company, has been processing coca leaves for the soft-drink giant for more than a century and had its license to import them renewed by the Drug Enforcement Agency earlier this year.
The coca leaves are used to create a “decocainized” ingredient for the soda and the leftover byproduct is sold to the opioid manufacturing company Mallinckrodt, which uses the powder to make a numbing agent for dentists, DailyMail reported.
It is unclear how much coca leaves the Stepan Company imports annually, although the New York Times reported in 1988 that it brought in between 56 and 588 metric tons of coca leaves from Peru and Bolivia each year, citing DEA figures.”

We live in a time of magic, Shirley!
Tunable LED Light Bulbs (From 2700K-6500K)
Not sure what color temperature is right for you or your space? Why not get a tunable LED light bulb!
Tunable LED light bulbs will give you a nice range, often 2700K (warm) to 6500K (cool).
This’ll make it simple to get 4000K as well as other temperatures.
With smart bulbs, you can control the specific color from your smart device via bluetooth, Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant.
Tunable light bulbs are ideal for bedrooms, offices and living rooms. These tend to be the places where you may want to alter the specific color temperature and have a bit more control over your lighting.
How have I managed to stumble through life for so long without the ability to fine tune my light bulbs with my smart phone?
Your problem is that you are looking at the phone’s INT score instead of its WIS…
Aaaaand I’m out

I regret telling Tonio that my nickname for Saturday Zoom is “Sober Saturday”.
On the bright side, my bathroom smells like Tennessee Honey and Pepsi.
