That son of a bitch old man called me in the damn shower trying to find someone to cover for him. The worst part was I was in the middle of a webcam and my customers for some reason al wanted to watch me wash my hair. What’s he doing? Only this.
The old man is costing me business here. I don’t want any shit from any of you. Oh “these links are lousy.” Winston’ Mom “never shows the goods”. She’s such a “heinous bitch”.
…and so.
John Lennon was killed by the CIA.
Merick Garland will not go to prison for lying to Congress.
This move would be the most on brand fuck up he can possibility make in a streak of on brand fuck ups. I give it 15:1 odds.

So NPR Lady is really Winston’s Mom?
Well, that answers a lot of questions.

Looks like the Desantis-Trump spat is heating up?
I think most people want more than trump to say ” i was cheated”
I’m curious as to who is funding that PAC.
Ramping up the Ron-Don fight only benefits the Democrats.
Another Lincoln Project?
DeSantis is having a campaign event. Meet us there with your tiki torches.
Speaking of tiki torches…aren’t they trying to prosecute people from the Charleaton rally for that?
yep
Trump’s whining and biting the hand of one of the few governors who’s actually doing a decent job is fucked up and the crybaby routine is getting old. Trump has shown himself to be both ungrateful and a pussy.
Maybe so, but if DeSantis wants to win, he needs the MAGA vote.
Splitting the potential GOP voters into factions that hate each other isn’t going to win any elections. They don’t vote party line no matter the candidate like the Democrats do.
That’s a problem entirely in the hands of GOP voters. If the Trumpaloos want nothing but entertainment (hur-da-hur) then when they get shitty govt they can all just STFU.
So much this. And I’m tired of the excuses for him helping to lock down the country. Kemp opened GA first and Trump shit on him. Then DeSantis opened FL. Trump might have started asking for advice from someone other than Fauci and Birx. But he didn’t. He got rolled and was too arrogant to realize it.
If Desantis is smart he will sit this one out. Let Trump burn himself out, as you know Don is going to get the nod or die trying. Ron is only in his 40’s, so he has time.
Plus, the deep state is going to keep digging, and will assure that a Dem wins this go-round unless there is Regan levels of pushback.
Absolutely.
I don’t see how they can have a primary contest without a Ron-Don fight, so there’s that.
I’ve seen some speculation that House Bush is behind the latest DeSantis push… and speculation that DeSantis is his own man.
I haven’t done any digging into the PAC to find out.
She’s such a “heinous bitch”.
Who would say such a thing? We all know she has a bitchin’ heiny!
I don’t do Twitter so I may not fully appreciate the magnitude of the situation, but doesn’t the “blue check or no blue check” seem to be the First World Problem of all First World Problems? 🙄
The most able-to-pay people screaming gimme my free stuff! I don’t think the First World should consider that a problem.
It’s the tech version of “Don’t you know who I am?”
Back to the bailey!
Sounds like plain old horseshit to me.
“Woke” means arrogating the language of tolerance while really being a nasty, controlling bully.
That is some high-quality derp. Too much to even try to unpack.
Similarly, any attempt to teach the children to be kinder to their peers could be construed as social-emotional learning: far too “woke” to teach in an Oklahoma public school.
Why do I smell bullshit?
‘Cause you know it teaches hate to anyone outside the liberal bubble?
‘could be ‘
Sure, Jan.
As much of a lying, politicized, vindictive, dickhead, sack of shit Merrick Garland is, I’m just glad he isn’t a Supreme Court Justice so…could be worse?
It could always be worse
He still can be. Dem President and Senate, so he’s a heartbeat away.
He’s certainly proven himself to be the Dems’ dream candidate for that position, and not the “moderate” they were trying to position him as the first time around.
Krugman: He’s a whiny bitch but I’m glad he’s still on Twitter. He’s a valuable wrong all of the time so just act on the opposite of what he says prognosticator of economic trends, kind of like Jim Kramer but less mentally ill.
These links are lousy.
I hope you demanded to speak to the manager about it and ask for a refund.
Can I just leave a shitty Yelp review?
So, are you saying Winston’s moms name is Karen?

Sad. When my kids were toddlers twenty or so years ago we’d spend the occasional weekend at the Inner Harbor. There was plenty to do, the aquarium, decent restaurants, catch a ballgame at Camden Yards… Good times. The folks in charge there could fuck up a wet dream.
I remember going to the Inner Harbor a few time when I was a kid. I even remember that mall.
Wasn’t there a mayor about 30 years ago who was being touted as some kind of libertarian? How do voters in these shit holes put up with it? You should see the candidates in the Philly Dem primary for mayor. Everyone of them is going to “crack down on crime” and put in “emergency measures to get guns off the street.”. Yet all but one of them are long time city council members who have done nothing along these lines. But with an election looming they are suddenly a combination of Frank Rizzo and Dirty Harry.
Mornin’, reprobates.
I guess I should order some hot dogs from upstate NY, they seem to have magical properties. Or maybe some lemonade? I love lemonade.
“Donald Trump has so deeply disparaged the state of Florida by calling it the ‘worst state,’ we … will help him leave by offering financial assistance to help him move to his beloved California,” Chris Jankowski, CEO of the Never Back Down PAC, said Saturday in a tongue-in-cheek statement.
There, Jankowski added, Trump “can be close to his good buddy Gavin Newsom, whom he loves so intensely and gets along with so well.”
Huh. They manage to be more childish than Trump.
Never Back Down is flooding NH with flyers. Yay.
That relates back to a Carlson interview where Trump was actually complimenting the guy, or at least refusing to talk smack, so it’s no wonder their ass is chapped.
It’s a race to the bottom, held in a hole, using shovels.
If you play by the Marquis of Queensbury rules when the other guy’s got a shank you’re going to lose. It’s unfortunate but there you go.
So if we could round up a couple of firehoses we might be able to solve this little problem.

Driving a stake through the heart of the energy economy
The U.S. government may soon require natural gas-fired power plants to install technology to capture carbon emissions, sources said, as President Joe Biden’s administration enacts new rules to help decarbonize the power sector in 12 years.
The Environmental Protection Agency as soon as this week is expected to unveil standards for new and existing power plants, which belch roughly a quarter of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, two sources said. The rules will replace former President Donald Trump’s American Clean Energy rule and former President Barack Obama’s Clean Power Plan, both of which were invalidated by courts.
More than a year in the making, the standards should be based on a plant’s potential to reduce emissions through carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology, according to clean air law experts and industry representatives in talks with the EPA.
Utility companies may need to decide whether they want to build new baseload gas plants with CCS technology or zero-emission renewable energy. States would develop plans for bringing their plants into compliance.
“These standards could level the playing field between new gas plants and new renewable energy,” said Thomas Schuster, head of the Sierra Club’s Pennsylvania chapter. Most new gas plants currently do not pay for emitting carbon, so the rules could make it harder for them to compete with solar and wind power.
Biden has pledged that the power business will decarbonize by 2035. According to the Clean Air Act, the standards must be based on “best system of emission reduction,” technologies deemed affordable and technically feasible.
We’ll be back to candles before you know it.
LOL
Also, “deemed . . . technically feasible”.
Belch is a totally neutral word, isn’t it.
Given this: “both of which were invalidated by courts.”
What are the chances this actually sticks? The clean air and water acts aren’t just blank slates for the administrative state to regulate willy nilly.
No, but they are gonna try, and try, and try, and…
“These standards could level the playing field between new gas plants and new renewable energy,” said Thomas Schuster, head of the Sierra Club’s Pennsylvania chapter.
Levelling the playing field by making cheap energy just as expensive as ‘renewable’.
I thought “green” was already cheaper so why are we throwing more billions at it?
Hush, you!
OT, don’t recall who is the Spurs fan here – but they’re going to want to avert their eyes from the match underway.
*tap tap tap*
Whoa.
Looks like the team has given up. Forget Champions League, they might not qualify for Europe at all.
They manage to be more childish than Trump.
Junior high lunchroom social hierarchy.
Second, the Inflation Reduction Act created tax credits making carbon capture and hydrogen more affordable and affirmed EPA’s authority to regulate power plants. The law offers more than $100 billion in clean electricity tax incentives, including a 70% increase in credits for each ton of carbon captured and sequestered.
“If you’re building a new fossil [plant], it needs to control its emissions, said Lissa Lynch, director of the federal legal group at the Natural Resources Defense Council. Existing technology can capture and store approximately 90% of carbon emissions, Lynch said.
It’s practically free.
Design a power plant that burns $100 bills.
My B&W book says papers gives up about 7000 BTU/lb. I cant find anything on currency, since its more of a weave with cotton.
But Im sure your idea could gain traction, giving on how they’re set on destroying the economy.

The 2020s will be remembered as the New Little Ice Age ’cause there isn’t/wasn’t enough cold blocking elements in the atmosphere caused by the curtailed use of petroleum/coal emissions.

Faulty data
Two empty homes overlooking a canyon slid off their foundations Saturday in Draper, Utah, prompting the evacuations of two adjacent residences, officials said Saturday.
In October, city building officials declared two clifftop homes “unfit for human habitation” due to “earth shifting that resulted in sliding and breaks in the homes’ foundations,” city officials said in a Facebook post.
The city had been following up with the developer for months on engineering studies regarding the stability of the area, officials said.
“With the snow pack melting and creating changes in conditions, other homes in the neighborhood will be evaluated for safety concerns,” said the Facebook post. “At this time, only the two adjacent homes are being evacuated.”
“We were told there would be no more snow.”

Deep dive journalisming
The vast majority of U.S. adults have been personally affected by some form of extreme weather in the last five years, according to a new poll released on Saturday.
Seventy-one percent in the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll said they had experienced at least one extreme weather event in the last five years.
The largest portions cited extreme hot weather or heat waves and severe cold weather or winter storms, at 55 percent and 45 percent respectively. Another 30 percent said they had been impacted by major droughts or water shortages, while 24 percent had experienced hurricanes or tropical storms.
Among those who were affected by extreme weather, 69 percent said they believe that climate change was to blame. Another 30 percent said they believe the weather event was not caused by climate change, according to the results.
Overall, 71 percent in the AP-NORC poll said they believe climate change is happening, compared to 12 percent said they did not and 16 percent that said they remained unsure.
I, too, have been rained on. It was horrifying.
We have inundated the rubes with breathless tales of how every wind shift is proof of global warming, and… it worked.
I hope the poll was altered and people aren’t really that dumb.
What counts as extreme?
“Among those who were affected by extreme weather, 69 percent said they believe that climate change was to blame.”
Propaganda works.
I believe it’s aliens.
*buys more Alcoa stock*
Anyone else remember when weather wasn’t climate?
Anybody else remember when they taught the base-rate fallacy?
Nah, me neither.
Science!
The AP-NORC poll was conducted April 13-17 with 1,230 adults and had a margin of error of 3.9 percentage points.

As it should be.
LOL of course
But Earth Day may have fallen victim to its own success. Even though we face new and seemingly overwhelming environmental issues—the extinction crisis, the toxic chemical crisis, the climate crisis, acidification of the seas, the plastics tsunami—the spirit of the day is no longer mass protest. Yet current environmental problems pose existential threats to planetary and societal stability, even to civilization itself. One day out of 365 to mark the entire planet is too far a cry from the reverence and recognition owed the beleaguered planetary basis for our entire existence, for all known life.
We can’t just say “good enough” and be done with it. No, the sky must be perpetually falling. Never mind that every apocalyptic prediction for the last sixty years has been wrong, we must continue to sacrifice on the altar of Gaia.
I was around for the first Earth Day.
The world is much less polluted now than it was back then.
But progressives can’t live with that. In their minds, the world is always getting worse and more radical solutions must be implement to reverse that.

Gutting! Slashing!
On Wednesday, Republican House Speaker Kevin McCarthy unveiled a bill he claims will fulfill our debt limit obligations. In truth, the bill holds the economy hostage in exchange for slashing investments important to American families.
In exchange for a short-term increase in the debt ceiling, the speaker’s proposal drastically cuts spending for 2024, then compounds those reductions by capping investments for the next 10 years. To be clear, Republicans are threatening a default on our debt unless we gut vital programs.
Penury and destitution.
We’ll all die.
Good
‘Investments.’
For months, I have heard my Republican colleagues claim that defense, veterans’ health care and border security would be protected. This bill does not keep that pledge. It either puts this funding on the chopping block or forces further cuts to other critical government programs by more than 22%. As much as Republicans want to pretend otherwise, these caps are cuts. They would ensure that resources for critical programs remain below current levels for the next 10 years — all for less than one year of preventing a default.
Any attempt to reduce the rte of increase is an indiscriminate cut. Government dollars are not fungible. All programs are equally essential, and any pretense that government money can be shifted to “more productive” uses is nothing but a terrifying slide into anarchy.
Instead of building upon these investments to keep our communities safe, the cuts introduced by Republicans would endanger our public safety and our national security. They would make our borders less safe by allowing hundreds of thousands of pounds of drugs across our borders. They would cut law enforcement by taking thousands of cops off the streets. They put veterans’ health and well-being at risk by delaying access to health care and benefits they have earned. And they weaken our national security by undermining military readiness, damaging efforts to deter the Chinese Communist Party and decreasing our ability to recruit and retain service members.
Did I awaken in Opposite America? I could swear those were all things Republicans accused America-hating Democrats of doing.
You didn’t.
This is what they do in budget times. They’re desperately trying to make centrist voters believe they care about the things they’ve caused.
Supply and demand
The invasion of Ukraine revealed that the U.S. stockpile of 155 mm shells and those of European allies were unprepared to support a major and ongoing conventional land war, sending them scrambling to bolster production. The dwindling supply has alarmed U.S. military planners, and the Army now plans to spend billions on munitions plants around the country in what it calls its most significant transformation in 40 years.
It may not be easy to adapt: practically every square foot of the Scranton plant’s red brick factory buildings — first constructed more than a century ago as a locomotive repair depot — is in use as the Army clears space, expands production to private factories and assembles new supply chains.
There are some things that Army and plant officials in Scranton won’t reveal, including where they get the steel for the shells and exactly how many more rounds this factory can produce.
“That’s what Russia wants to know,” said Justine Barati of the U.S. Army’s Joint Munitions Command.
The army makes its own howitzer shells?
The factory — built for the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad just after 1900, when the city was a rising coal and railroad powerhouse — has produced large-caliber ammunition for the military going back to the Korean War.
But the buildings are on the National Historic Registry of Historic Places, limiting how the Army can alter the structures.
Stop it. You;re killing me.

Longer term forecast is that we’re going to be below average (for Iowa) until about May 4; I imagine you are the same.
