“In 2011 Arizona began to allow homemade food sales, but only of shelf-stable foods like breads and cookies. Nevertheless, the program was a success, and more than 11,000 “cottage food producers” participated in it. Then-Representative Hobbs was one of just 11 votes against the 2011 program in the House.”
It doesn’t say why she’s against it.
I think Tonio nailed it. They don’t vote for her and they didn’t form a lobby to shovel money at her campaign. Before your designer cupcakes for $7 a piece, you must kiss the ring. Lest the unwashed masses start getting silly ideas about not needing permission to breathe.

What I saw this morning was that the flight was considered successful but everything went pear-shaped during the transition to the recovery stage.
The bill, which passed the Senate 26 to 4 and the House of Representatives 45 to 11
Looks veto-proof.
THOSE KULAKS DON’T VOTE FOR ME
No one else did either.
It is veto – proof. It should pass and she can kiss my ass. Feeling a rhyme coming on today.
Doubtful. The way the game is played is, the Gov lets it be known he/she will veto. This frees up his/her party members to vote for it on the first pass. Then, when (if?) it comes up again for override, well . . . . Now, they can campaign on voting for it, without actually having a law their party doesn’t like on the books.
Yep.
I think that is what happened during the pushback against Wolf’s Lil Rona Panic orders in PA. There were two bills that passed the legislature with veto proof majorities related to Wolf’s orders: One about bars/restaurants (don’t remember the details), and the other that took school sports out of his orders. Both passed with veto proof majorities. Wolf vetoed both. Both veto overrides failed because Democrats in the Legislature flip-flopped.

No reasonable prosecutor…
It’s the gun’s fault.
I’ll be interested to see how they square the circle of not prosecuting the shooter while prosecuting others. If the shoot was wrongful, I don’t see how the shooter doesn’t get tagged. If the shoot wasn’t wrongful, why are they prosecuting anyone?
They guy that handled the gun; pointed it at a human being; put a finger on the trigger; and pulled. Well, he has no liability because some other person told him the gun wasn’t loaded. So, his gross negligence in handling a firearm isn’t relevant. The person that handed him the loaded gun, that’s the real criminal here.

A recent paper in Genome Research suggests that, for every 17 female humans who reproduced at this time, only one male human managed to pass along his DNA. What’s lacking is an obvious explanation for this pattern.
Harems, like elk?
Alpha males got all the action. Also a guess – hunting giant animals with spears is a lifestyle with an incredibly high mortality rate for young men.
Male privilege.
Not an expert here, but the game humans hunted would have been getting smaller and less deadly in this time frame.
There is no explanation. I know of no other animals that have a dominant male who gets to mate with all the females. That’s a real puzzler.
Are you saying they’re lion about things?

The professional classes (i.e. realtors and ESPECIALLY lawyers) spend much of their time making sure that their work is as impenetrable as possible to anyone on the outside. This guarantees both less competition and higher compensation.
AI will never be able to replace lawyers no matter how sophisticated it gets.
Because all the lying, contradicting and gaslighting always returns to many errors and crashes the program?
This is how Skynet realizes it must get rid of humanity isn’t it?
Anyone who has ever spent more than 30 minutes in a room with a lawyer has contemplated if ending the species would be for the best. AI coming to that perfectly reasonable conclusion actually gives me a little more faith in it.
So AI Spy vs. Spy?

It’s a weird dynamic for lawyers. Law school absolutely beats clarity and conciseness out of you. OTOH, if you’re a clear and concise communicator, you can make it far in the world of law. Many of the opportunities I have today are because they didn’t beat out all of the clarity of thought and speech I gained from engineering school & work.
What we do know is that this was a time of significant cultural change for humans. The bottleneck coincides with the Neolithic Revolution, a period of rapid technological innovation that gave rise to agriculture, the domestication of animals, permanent settlements, and a surge in transport technology. The changes in human culture might somehow have created new reproductive pressures that disproportionately impacted on males. Rather than needing pure biological fitness, the data could suggest that cultural fitness was now important, especially for men.
THE LONGHOUSE
This just reinforces my opinion that the Neolithic was a nightmare and it’s good that handsome Yamnaya steppe barbarians conquered and destroyed their societies.
Right now all of these ideas are just speculation. More research is needed to try to figure out whether there are other signals in the DNA that suggest cultural fitness was involved in the bottleneck. But, if the researchers are correct that human culture was the cause, this would be one of the more extreme examples found so far of gene-culture coevolution—human culture shaping human genetics.
It’s speculation, all the way down.
MOAR RESEARCH == MOAR $$$
Nah, go fuck yourself.
An economics professor at Duke University has called for the United States to issue reparations to every black American descendant of slaves at a cost of $14 trillion.
William Darity, who co-authored the book ‘From Here to Equality: Reparations for Black Americans in the Twenty-First Century,’ shared his plan on Tuesday’s episode of Dr. Phil.
Darity suggested the US government issue the funds in much the same way it sent out checks to millions of Americans during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.
‘It would be paid by the federal government in the same way in which the federal government has met the expenses that were paid out for the purposes of trying to deal with the great recession and also, most recently, with the economic downturn associated with the great pandemic,’ he said.
Because there is just $14 trillion sitting around…never mind that no one alive was legally enslaved or a slaver.
Where I’m from, that’s called “setting the stage for a race war.”
Chicago called and said you’re a little late with your prediction.
I’ll contribute, but the deal is that sysyematic/institutional racism and past enslavement cease to be topics of discussion. If you bring up any of these topics in any form at any time, you pay back the reparations.
LOL. Their careers and identities are completely built around those topics. There’s no way they could even if they wanted to.
I just need the ground rules here. Are we going by the one drop rule?
This is going to happen on some level at some point. The only question is how to get in on the grift.
Well, I can see a whole lot more interracial marriages.
According to 23 and Me I’m 0.1% sub-Saharan African. I’m ready for my reparations.
I’m probably a melungeon, so bring on reparations.
I am a Firster. I am beyond race, but for $5 million in reparations I will be whatever they are paying me to be.
Had a potential client I didn’t want to work with, but he had accepted my exorbitant PITA surcharge, so I felt it was worth it. I don’t remember what he said, but I said, “Oh, sure, I can do that. I’m a whore.” … … “You’re … a whore.” “Aren’t we all?” “Yeah, I don’t think this is going to work for me.”
Mission accomplished.
Blacks of Europe
Even with the complete lack of anyone actually enslaved or enslavers — might consider it if we first deduct the inflation adjusted numbers for the Civil War and Johnson’s Great Society program (obviously ratio’d based on the profile of the recipients….).
Actually, no… even thinking of having folks try to break down those numbers (and who counts or not) seems too damned racist. RS had the right response in the first place.
“It would be paid by the federal government in the same way in which the federal government has met the expenses that were paid out for the purposes of trying to deal with the great recession and also, most recently, with the economic downturn associated with the great pandemic”
See? None of US will be paying it. The government will! And just like those COVID funds, there will be no ill effects!
You say that like its a joke and not their actual sales pitch.
Second order consequences? What are those? I don’t know so they must not be real or matter.
You and I know it’s a joke, but there are still way too many people who believe that inflation is caused by Russia.
It’s pretty terrifying. All correct thinking people understand that it’s far more complicated and nuanced than that. In reality
Inflation = Population/GDP x LGBTQR + systemic racism^current number of available genders

Real fun would be all of the blacks that aren’t slave descendants – Haitians, Jamaicans, Kenyans, etc. Oh, and Obama.
It’s not about actually getting reparations in my view. Sure, there might be some true believers who actually think it could happen, but in reality the main function of the proposal is to cause objections, at which point you can point to those who object and tell those who support you that there are the racists who hate black and brown people. Then your supporters send you money.
It’s the same thing the left did with abortion for years and years, which is why they never bothered to put any actual abortion protections into federal law, even when they had all the branches of government. Similarly, the right talks a big game about securing the border and gun rights, while doing very little about either (although in fairness the last administration did move on the border to some degree). It all strikes me as a rather cynical fundraising game.
It’s all fun and games until the shooting starts.
I have long taken the position that the two major parties are really just fundraising wings for the uniparty, for exactly that reason.

Next-level progjection.
The “parental rights” movement is not new, but it is enjoying a resurgence. Adherents say they’re protecting children from harm, broadly defined. After an art teacher at a Florida charter school showed students a picture of Michelangelo’s David, parental complaints forced out the principal. Members of Moms for Liberty call for book bans across the country; books with LGBT content are at special risk of removal. The architects of state bans on gender-affirming care for minors say, falsely, that children are at risk from predatory physicians and activists. A “gender cult” destroys families, claimed conservative commentator Matt Walsh. “The child they held as a baby and raised and gave their lives to and loved and still love becomes, suddenly, unrecognizable,” he said. “I would rather be dead than have that happen to my kids.” The real sin isn’t that trans youth will suffer but that the parental grip might loosen. …
It’s possible to draw a line between Wobbema’s remarks, the push for child labor, and the right’s attacks on trans children. In each case, conservatives betray a conviction that a child is the property of parents. Because parents own their children, they can dispose of the child as they see fit. They can deny them evidence-based medical care. They can put a child to work. They can make sure a child is sheltered from the dangers of a serious education. When a child goes hungry, that’s because a parent isn’t caring for their property — and what a person does with their property is their right.
My response: Fuck around and find out.
I say we just compromise. Children can get sex changes, but they can also smoke and buy guns.
Allowing a teenager to get a job without needing a permit is a “push for child labor”. Ok.
Of course the ones pushing for child labor are those allowing lots of illegals across the border.
In each case, conservatives betray a conviction that a child is the property of parents.
Stupid parents. Everybody knows that children are the property of the state.
If children are the property of their parents, there’s no way they can be property of the state…
So you understand the problem from their point of view?
My ability to empathize with assholes is why I’m EvilSheldon and not IndifferentSheldon.
Ohio’s legislature just passed a “Parent’s Bill of Rights” that, while it shouldn’t be necessary, doesn’t seem terribly onerous to me. The biggest pushback from the teachers and admins is in relation to saying that the school will have to tell parents (that ask if I’m reading it correctly) what (if any) medical/health treatment was done at school.
Yet at most schools you can’t give a kid a Tylenol for a headache without written consent.
Exactly. The teachers/admins are saying that they don’t want to have abusers know that the abused children were treated in school, to which the people passing the bill pointed out that there was nothing in it that removed their requirement to report signs of abuse.
All of our kids’ schools did that anyway (including in Ohio). Any pushback on that just sounds like laziness to me.
Which parent’s bill of rights?
My first thought was the Alpha males kept all the women for themselves – you know, like every species on every nature show.
Are you saying they had a vagenda?
Did you fall right into her vagenda? (SFW)
Somebody claimed to have solved the male bottleneck mystery a few years ago. Essentially this was the time when we really started to get our warboners on, and since clans were family based, entire lines of males were lost when one clan or group of clans wiped other ones completely out. Models support this possibility, though of course can’t confirm what happened for sure.

Stoopin’ here, boss
A group of conservative Republican lawmakers in Montana deliberately misgendered a transgender colleague in demanding that she be censured for language she used on the floor while speaking against a bill that would ban gender-affirming medical care for children.
The Montana Freedom Caucus posted its demand on Twitter Tuesday evening — on letterhead bearing the names of 21 lawmakers — arguing that Democratic Rep. Zooey Zephyr should be punished “for trying to shame the Montana legislative body and by using inappropriate and uncalled-for language during a floor debate.”
The caucus called for a “commitment to civil discourse,” while misgendering Zephyr in the same sentence. The caucus also misgendered Zephyr in the Tweet.
“It is disheartening that the Montana Freedom Caucus would stoop so low as to misgender me in their letter, further demonstrating their disregard for the dignity and humanity of transgender individuals,” Zephyr said in a statement Wednesday. “Their call for ‘civility and respect’ is hypocritical given their actions.
Lawmakers were debating Republican Gov. Greg Gianforte’s proposed amendments to the transgender medical care bill on Tuesday when Zephyr, referring to the prayer given prior to every floor session, said: “If you vote yes on this bill and yes on these amendments, I hope the next time there’s an invocation, when you bow your heads in prayer, you see the blood on your hands.”
Zing!
Yes, that’s right. All the quitbaggers in the state of Montana will DIE if this bill is passed.
“Oh, fuck off. And yes, please keep that in the official record.”
Threatening to hurt yourself in order to force other people to do what you want, is shitty emotional manipulation at the very least.
Yeah this, Zephyr’s full of hot air.
A trial balloon
It’ll go down in flames.
Does this so-called “gender-affirming” care include mutilation by cutting off genitalia?
Zephyr began her comments Tuesday by criticizing a letter from the governor explaining his proposed amendments to the gender-affirming care bill. In it, the governor said he had met with transgender residents and said Montanans who struggle with gender identity deserve love, compassion and respect.
“That’s not what trans Montanans need from you,” Zephyr said. “We need access to the medical care that saves our lives.”
Whoa, Nancy.
Pay for expensive surgeries and drugs to satisfy my desires/delusions, or you’re all murderers.
Anyhow, the mission is already accomplished: Get everyone, everywhere to talk about gender nonsense all day, every day.

Every girl loves a fun evening out where she’s expected to sweep, right?
Possibly. My wife suggested the other night that we join a curling league.
I understand that high-level professional curling requires a lot of heavy drinking…
Why not? Everything else does, too!
I tried adaptive curling once. It was at the Chicago Curling Club. Half the building was the ice, and the other half was a little curling hall of fame, and a great big lounge area with a nice bar and wood paneling all around. A true Glibs-worthy hangout.
That actually sounds pretty sweet. I’m told there is a curling club nearby, but I doubt it’s that cool.

Eh…they demand that we call them something that many people view as a lie if not an outright assault on objective reality.
I will treat anyone with a basic amount of respect. To be polite, I would use someone else’s preferred gender (I draw the line at made up pronouns – words that didn’t even exist as far as I can tell a decade ago). If someone who has weaponized victim culture to be a cunt starts demanding things, I will call them whatever the hell I feel like calling them.
And calling an activist like this by their true gender is probably even more offensive than it, though I am not as up to date on this as you probably are.
I get ya, Count. But they make it hard. Zooey isn’t, and never will be, a woman. He denies that he is a man, and demands that you not refer to him as one.

Let me get this straight….the company that is most negatively affected by the anonymity offered by VPN services and who’s business model openly relies on and traffics in data incredibly personal user data that it sells or outright gives to giant crony corporations and government alphabet agencies to amass unimageable wealth and power wants to offer me a “free service” that would deprive them of the source of said money and power?

Ads queued up: MCU, home exterminators, vaccines…

Project Veritas’ latest
Project Veritas released a second video today exposing medical professionals who confirmed that children are being submitted to gender transitions without concern for legal restrictions that may be in place to prevent them.
A receptionist who works at the Mount Sinai Adolescent Health Center stated that they “deal with patients that come in at 10 [years-old],” and that these children “come in here by themselves” for prospective gender transitions – raising the question of whether Mount Sinai even considers parental awareness and consent before proceeding with such a transition.

At 10? Yeah, right.
I just hope they are masked while doing so.
Yeah, if it’s not a parent, then heads definitely need to roll.
Even if it is a parent it’s still obscene.
