Dragon 1 this is Flight.  Initiate system checklist
Flight this is Dragon 1.  We copy to initiate system checklist.

Actuators?

Go flight.

Gymbals?

Go flight

Engine Brake?

Go flight

Telemetry?

Go flight

Dragon 1, this is flight. We’re getting an update on the weather report within the hour, hold fast.

Flight, Dragon 1.  Roger that.

NOT ROGER.  SPACE SMITH NOT NAMED ROGER.  NO CALL SPACE SMITH ROGER!

Flight, Dragon 1.  Repeat last transmission?

Dragon 1, this is flight.  Copy that.  We’ll get that updated weather report, shortly.

Flight, Dragon 1.  Roger….

Meanwhile….at mission control…

“Did anybody else hear that transmission?“

”Roger dodger that.  Dragon 1 copied last on the weather report.”

”You aren’t on the radio you fuckwit.”

“Roger that, I’m not on the radio.”

”When this launch is over, I’m going to discuss my feelings with the two of you.  Its stressful enough here with this launch, this virus, the spiraling descent of American democracy into fascism, my Chow mix losing patches of fur, racism bleeding over into personal interactions in public parks…I just can’t…”

”Your finger is on push to talk you fuckwit.  Now Dragon 1 knows all about your feelings.”

Meanwhile…in Dragon 1 capsule…

”Can you believe that guy?”

”Space is no place for your feelings.”

”Apparently neither is New York.  Can you believe that Karen?  Calling the cops because a black guy intruded her bubble.”

”That guy did intrude her bubble.  He tried to lure her dog away.”

SPACE SMITH INTRUDE UPON PERSON BUBBLE

”Total alpha move.  He saw she was shit-testing him and won over dominance of her dog.  Now even her cocker spaniel knows she answers to him.”

”What are you talking about?  She lost her job for that.”

”That guy is straight up BASED.”

NOW SPACE SMITH CONFUSED

“She was in the wrong the entire time by having the dog off leash.  Now she has no job, no prospects because she’s a brutal racist, and her dog doesn’t even answer to her.  That’s how you beat feminist hypergamy.  Thats how radical feminism gets beaten.  She challenges your rightful place as the ALPHA, you put her right back down and make sure she knows she’s the bitch.”

SPACE SMITH THINK TOO COMPLICATED.  SPACE SMITH JUST RAPE ROCKET

”What?”

”BASED.”

Back at mission control…

“What is going on here?  What is shimmying the rocket?”

”Its the storm.”

”The rocket is too distraught to fly today, its trembling with fear.  Fear of the virus, fear of fascism, fear of racism seeping its way into everything…”

”All of you fucking people need to get a grip.”  A short man in a cheap suit said in the back corner of the room.  Moist patches of sweat permeated his gray, woolen jacket.  His skin tallow.  Stubby fat fingers gripped a cigarette and a small device wired to his facemask.  He clicked the button in the device to revealing the facemask opening up.  He placed the cigarette to his jaundiced lips, and took a long, sweet drag.

Who is this guy?”

”Never mind who I am.  I’m just the guy everyone calls on to save them from themselves.  ‘Oh, this virus will kill us all!  Save me Mr. Government goon man!’  ‘Its fascists coming to get us, save us Mr. Government man’.  Do you think I like being called out here to Americas wang every time SPACE SMITH rapes a rocket?  Do you think I like being the guy that has to solve everything?”

”…Yes.”

“You’re goddamn right I do.  It gives me a reason to lord over all of you cucks.”  He opened the mask again to take another drag.

“What should we do then?”

”I dunno. The government doesn’t own this rocket.  Call the owner.”

…Meanwhile…at SpaceX headquarters

“Mr. Musk.”

”Stop.  What did I ask you about that?”

”About what?”

”If you were going to call me ‘Mr. Musk’ you will do so only while wearing a pair of sequence panties, and a pair of high heels.”

”Sorry, Elon.”

”Too late for you now, you best go find your new uniform.”

”Yes Elon.”

”Thats Mr. Musk to you.”

”Yes, Mr. Musk.”

”Mmm.  Now what did you need me for?”

”You have a call from Kennedy.”

MMM. What does she want?”

”Not that Kennedy.”

The aide handed musk the phone, and left the room while trying to hop on one leg, taking off his skinny jeans.

”This is Elon…listen it is no concern to me when you launch off this spinning disk in space…Its the Jews again.  Listen, if you mess with Jews, you will lose…SPACE SMITH…I’m not commenting…

 

…on that.  Just take a red pill and leave me the fuck alone.”

Meanwhile…Back at mission control

 

”Elon wasn’t any help.  Now what do we do?”

My vagina is down here.

“I dunno .” He put out his cigarette.  “Scrap it until Saturday, throw Bill Nye on to entertain the retards with his color commentary—“

”Color commentary is triggering.”

”Perfect.  Put that asshole on TV.  Later bitches.  SPACE SMITH was never here, just blame the weather.”

    You mean like one for each day of the week?

    Or a y-k-w level typo for “sequined?”

      I was thinking the same thing. Since it’s Elon Musk, I assume sequence is correct.

    • C. Anacreon

      Regarding those underpants labeled for each day of the week, I think my college roommate wore underpants labeled for each month.

    “In the fallout, investment firm Franklin Templeton announced Tuesday afternoon it had fired Amy Cooper, saying, “We do not tolerate racism of any kind.”

    I have mixed feelings about this. She was an asshole for threatening to call the police and lie about dude threatening her but at the same time I hate when the mob gets someone fired from their job.

    On a side note, my wife a children’s librarian was reading this YA novel by a black author and thought that the book was good but at times was a little heavy handed with SJW stuff. She wanted to write that as part of her review on Goodreads but before she wrote the review asked me if that was a good idea to post that.

    I told her fuuuuuuck no. There’s always someone out there looking for a reason to create a controversy and make someone an example. Also told her that her library would not protect her and even fire her if they got one whiff of an accusation that they hired a racist. She thought better of it and decided to leave that part out of the review.

    • JD is in the United Karendom

      It makes my skin crawl to realize just how completely protected that cult has become from any reasoned criticism or frank discussion. Protected at the expense of the livelihoods and good names of principled people.

    • blackjack

      I have heard that the guy had dog treats but no dog. She filmed him and he told her to stop. She said no and he said that he would do what he’s gonna do and she won’t like it. Then started beckoning the dog with the treats. Pretty threatening, if true. Still, why can’t these petty arguments stay between the a-holes that have them? Losing her job? That’s way over the top for being a dick one day to a rando who’s not without fault either.

      • juris imprudent

        Sounds like you have it backwards – he recorded her.

      • blackjack

        If you look, she has her phone up and pointing at him. The clip we see starts with that.

      So I posted this without watching all the way through first. A few clips of Don Lemon and Chris Cuomo I hadn’t seen prior…these two are complete, contemptuous, propagandist fucktards.

  14. Gustave Lytton

    What a wonderful day. Got to watch the launch. Thunderstorms and heavy rain all day. Now drinking beer in the garage while doing some straightening and maintenance. Leftover mapo tofu for dinner.

    • juris imprudent

      No tofu, but stir fried steak, broccoli and mushrooms with fried rice (that had some finely diced leftover pulled pork – just this weird little hint of bbq flavor).

      • Gustave Lytton

        The tofu part is deceptive. It’s ground pork sauce. With chunks of the white stuff.

    • straffinrun

      Did you have any of that garlic raiyu left for it?

        No, made it mild for the wife. Hmmm… maybe I’ll add some to mine tonight.

      “Speaking Saturday, Minneapolis police spokesman John Elder, however, said that sometimes people arrested will provide false information. He says background checks are showing some people arrested have records from other areas.”

      Also, that entirely depends on who they arrest. Are the police more likely to arrest poor black people who are against them, or rich white antifa kids?

    • juris imprudent

      Chew told the sheriff’s office he became annoyed with all the noise the chickens made.

      Should have cooked it not kicked it.

    • blackjack

      Did he choke it? That’d get you arrested.

  16. Q Continuum

    What do you do with people like this?

    https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2020/05/30/george-floyd-protests-riots-violent-outside-agitators-minnesota/5291658002/

    Likely funded by the usual suspects, you can say they’re “LARPing” all day long but they view this as a war so what response do you make?

    Option 1) Treat them as ordinary law-breakers. This seems to be fairly useless since they typically use fake IDs and either way they have deep-pocketed benefactors that get them off the hook.

    Option 2) Declare them terrorists and/or irregular combatants.

    Option 3) Declare them an enemy army.

    Options 2 or 3 lead to much death. None of these options are working since even with Option 1 (which should be the way it works) they never face any accountability and are out rioting and agitating again in 48 hours.

    Thoughts?

    • Tundra

      Gibbeting.

      /Minnesotan extremely tired of this shit.

    • Stinky Wizzleteats

      They tend to commit their crimes in areas where they can get sympathetic authorities and prosecutors if it gets to that and juries if it gets to that. Good luck getting anything done before the populations in the various locales get fed up.

    • Stinky Wizzleteats

      Also, in the long term go after their funding.

      • Q Continuum

        This is what I’ve been saying all along. Isn’t shit like this exactly why RICO exists?

      • Stinky Wizzleteats

        Not sure about RICO but I suspect the feds will go after the paymasters if it does turn out that they’re bussing in agitators/rioters/arsonists from out of state. It’s conspiracy to commit all kinds of shit and actually shouldn’t be too difficult to track the funding streams down.

      • Nephilium

        No. RICO exists because it was too hard to prosecute people for non-violent crimes, so we had to have something to use against the other organized crime groups.

    • blackjack

      After the LA riots, the cops spent the whole year watching video from the news, cameras, etc. They id’d as many as possible and cruised around casually arresting them one by one. They claim they got the worst of them. My cop friend said they all worked overtime the whole year catching them. There’s at least one cop who knows all the crazies from each neighborhood.

      • Stinky Wizzleteats

        They’ll only get the stupidest among them this time because they’re the only ones not wearing masks.

    • Count Potato

      “Options 2 or 3 lead to much death. ”

      So what? They’re not people, they’re communists.

      Although, I still think option 1 works, as most of them are breaking several state and federal laws.

    • westernsloper

      In the fantasy world my brain likes to go to from time to time I would like to see the people who live there rise up in force and kick the living shit out of anybody from/or out of the neighborhood idiots burning the place down and looting.

    So… anyone have any respect left for reporters? Cop cars are being burned in Cleveland, and the article says:

    Thousands of people — nearly all wearing masks to stop the spread of the coronavirus — were scattered through downtown Saturday evening, as police in riot gear with plastic shields lined Lakeside Avenue.

    I’m sure none of them were wearing masks to hide their identity, that would be crazy talk. I’m also sure the reporter interviewed enough of the protestors to know why they were wearing masks.

      Mind reading thousands of people. That reporter is like Clark Kent on steroids.

    Minnesota nice.

    “People should be able to come together … and mourn and grieve and demand change and justice in policing and every other racist system that we have that has been part of this state,” Flanagan, the first Native American lieutenant governor in Minnesota, declared.

    “But in this moment, we cannot because there are detractors,” she continued. “There are white supremacists. There are anarchists. There are people who are burning down the institutions that are core to our identity and who we are.”

    This is an odd narrative. If you are going to bullshit at least try to make it make sense.

    • Tundra

      Why bother? 53% of the voters and 99.95% of the media will take any of these fuckos balls-deep.

      We may be in trouble, here, folks.

    • Derpetologist

      “If you are going to bullshit at least try to make it make sense.”

      Not so. The difference between lies and bullshit is that a liar knows the truth and wants you to believe something else. A bullshitter, on the other hand, is just trying to change the subject.

      This is perfect bullshit – police death of black man causes Bad Orange Man’s white supremacists to riot. It hits *all* the right buttons!

  22. Rebel Scum

    Racist!

    One reporter asked the president if he was “stoking more racial violence” by suggesting that his supporters rally at the White House.

    But Trump disputed the reporter’s characterization of his supporters.

    “MAGA says Make America Great Again,” he said. “By the way, they love African American people. They love black people. MAGA loves the black people.”

    The president said he is unsure if his supporters will rally at the White House on Saturday night but that he had heard they would.

    “I heard that MAGA wanted to be there. A lot of MAGA was going to be there. I have no idea whether that’s true or not,” he said. “But they love our country.”

    • Urthona

    • Gustave Lytton

      Proof that SF merely documents non-fiction.

    • Chafed

      Sometimes he says the right thing. He didn’t take the bait and he was inclusive. Sad trombone sound effect for the reporter.

    • Suthenboy

      The illustration is of lesbians….on an article about having sex on the first date. I dont see anything about toothbrushes there.

      • Stinky Wizzleteats

        I think new on he right identifies as a man so that’s technically hetero sex.

      • Stinky Wizzleteats

      • Suthenboy

        No. Shit.

    • SUPREME OVERLORD trshmnstr

      When dating isn’t about evaluating the other person for a life-long commitment, holding off on sex is pointless. The third date rule was a worthless rule put in place solely to bridge between two incompatible cultures.

    • Rhywun

      For clarity, though, this actually just refers to the average

      Gee, thanks for that explanation. I was super confused there.

    • DEG

      Sex on the first date happens. Sometimes sex doesn’t happen until dates after the third date.

      I figure couples will figure out what is best for them.

      • prolefeed

        I noticed that 53% of the people who responded were up for sex on the first date.

        On an entirely unrelated topic, about 50% of people are men.

    “What I heard from Minnesota officials — all of them — was that white nationalist groups are planning online, to blend into the protests and stir chaos, “using the legitimate protesters as a human shield.” What logical reason would LEFTwing groups have to burn black communities?”

    https://twitter.com/JoyAnnReid/status/1266794423221923842

    A logical reason to riot?

    • Tundra

      Dude, there are literally no historical examples of lefties burning black communities.

      You racist.

      • Rebel Scum

        And no history of black communities burning black communities. And there definitely is not a serious problem of violence in the black community…perpetrated by the black community…

    • Rebel Scum

      blend into the protests and stir chaos

      Isn’t this exactly what AntiProfa has been doing*?

      *Alongside the rioters that were already rioting.

    • Count Potato

      “Y’all do realize “antifa” is just short for “anti-fascists…” right? As in the people who confronted the nazis in Charlottesville… why would they try to burn and destroy black communities? ”

      https://twitter.com/JoyAnnReid/status/1266856009038999552

      • Rebel Scum

        the people who confronted the nazis in Charlottesville

        You mean the actual fascists that initiated the violence in Charlottesville.

        And looking at that thread, they seem to have missed the armed black people and their acquaintances that protest and are also posted up to defend their businesses. Your skin pigment doesn’t matter. Your behavior does.

    • creech

      Yes, NBC News tonight managed to twice associate white supremacists with the riots. No evidence of course. Probably the guys who assaulted Jessie Smolett drove up from Chicago?

    Gov. DeWine calls out the National Guard in OH (presumably with Dr. Amy’s permission.)

    We’re finally on our own.

    (Come to think of it, in all the excitement that 50th anniversary blew right past without a peep, as far as I could tell. Maybe there was more press about it at the opposite corner of the state.)

    • Nephilium

      No big news up here that I saw. But I generally don’t look for local news (with the exception of the COVID stories).

      I was just down in that area (Mogadore) today.

      OT, GT: I had a change of heart about Nook et al, and have taken it down from there. I hope that’s not a problem. I had to enroll in Kindle Unlimited.

    Anyone else’s city getting burned by mysterious out-of-towners? Because now apparently mine is.

    • westernsloper

      Not yet, (nor do I live in a city) but I was thinking of making a facebook account just to heckle local county commissioners with the question: If we citizens riot will you jackasses lift the covid theater restrictions? Because I can do it. I was ready to riot about eight weeks ago.

    • blackjack

      LA is going pretty good. They say there were 533 people arrested Friday for looting and other stuff. I don’t doubt that the two month house arrest lead up is helping fuel this.

      • Stinky Wizzleteats

        Who would have thought forcing millions to remain their houses for months at a time would lead to a large number of people primed for violence?

  26. westernsloper

    This guy aint no “citizen”.

    • Drake

      Nope

      • Gustave Lytton

        Agree. The weapons handling is too smooth. Too smooth for the average cop either.

      • westernsloper

        My thought as well. That is not a normal door smasher.

      • Tacit Rainbow

        SWAT or good tac team member on the force.

      • Gustave Lytton

        I watched a couple times and I don’t think it’s a cop at all. He drops the mag and cycles the bolt on the spot. I don’t see a cop immediately clearing a police weapon or leaving a nearly full mag and round lying on the ground.

      • Rebel Scum

        At any rate, a responsible individual in that instance.

      • Tacit Rainbow

        Local FOX network security.

        Just an update. Our security actually took 2 SPD ARs away from rioters and returned them to police earlier. SPD dispatch is aware both were returned. Whether there is still another one outstanding, we have no knowledge of that.

        So, someone who knows how to clear an AR.

    • Stinky Wizzleteats

      Good work whoever you are.

    • Drake

      1. Blue cities still locked down
      2. Cops and National Guard haven’t done crap
      3. The usual groups are sponsoring and fanning the flames.
      4. Cable news is covering it all night

      End even 2 of those things and this all goes away.

    • AlmightyJB

      Yeah, he looks like he’s done that before. Maybe in a sandier environment.

    • Tejicano

      CNN seemed to know what kind of guy to bring along for security in that situation. Too bad they don’t get him to consult when writing articles about firearms.

  27. SUPREME OVERLORD trshmnstr

    Quote from the AP’s treatment of the rocket launch today, paragraph 4, the transition paragraph between the high level overview and the actual meat of the article.

    The mission unfolded amid the gloom of the coronavirus outbreak, which has killed more than 100,000 Americans, and racial unrest across the US over the case of George Floyd, the handcuffed black man who died at the hands of Minneapolis police.

    Is there any question that the press is an enemy of the public?

    • Rebel Scum

      That one sentence has everything wrong with the industry that purports itself to be “news”.

    • Stinky Wizzleteats

  32. The Bearded Hobbit

    I’ve been attending TNT (we tell the normies that it’s “poker”) since the late 70’s. The day after election day 2016 most of them lost their fucking minds.

    Probably at least four of them are hard-core lunatic TDS refugees. I’ve been trying to keep my head down and my mouth shut. I got this the other day.

    I was wondering why. the supervisor of Chavin (sp?) Wasnt fired? He had 18 complaints of brutality with two resulting in disciplinary action. I feel 16 warnings and two right ups should have been plenty of reason to fire this guy along time ago and George Floyd might still be alive. That falls on the supervisor or the chief of police. Just wondering. Rioting is wrong, but no wonder there isnt trust.

    So I finally had to jump right into the machine gun fire with this.

    Haven’t we seen this same scene played out time and time again? In front of all the TV cameras the Police Chief solemnly declares that “we have fired the bad apple” and then six month later, under cover of darkness, the “bad apple” is quietly rehired with back pay. Or, alternately, the “bad apple” moves to the next town over and is hired by them.

    It’s not as simple as “racism.” Was it racism when the cop murdered the woman from Australia? Was it racism when the cops murdered all of those bikers in Waco? There was a trial a few years back where a guy shot a cop during a “no-knock” raid. The dude had been threatened before and was fearful of his life. During his trial the courtroom was full of cops (in uniform) who glared at the jury during the entire trial. The terrified jury convicted the guy (it was later overturned in appeal.) I’ve always wondered if those cops were on the clock while they were sitting in court trying to intimidate the jury. They call it “the thin blue line.” I call it “the thick blue wall.”

    The cops know that they are protected by their union and by the concept of Qualified Immunity. Cops who fuck up don’t do the “perp walk” that normal citizens get to go through. When a normal citizen is arrested his/her name is splashed all over the news along with a mugshot. Very often criminal cops are shielded from view. The cops know that “you can beat the rap but you can’t beat the ride.” They will fuck with you simply because they can and because they know that there will never be any repercussions.

    Cops know that they can get away with murder. If somehow there were consequences to their actions perhaps they would act differently. The concept of body cams is a good idea but unfortunately they are often “non-functional” whenever a cop fucks up. I would propose a ruling that if a cop’s body cam was not available then his testimony is not-admissible.

    It seems to me that there is a path forward but like all common sense reforms it has a 0.00% chance of happening.

    1. Kill the police union (in fact, kill all public sector unions)
    2. End Qualified Immunity. If a truck driver fucks up on his job and people die then he pays the price. Why are cops (and judges and prosecutors) protected from bad actions?
    3. Require cops to carry liability insurance (this goes hand in hand with 2). If you are a good cop (and I believe that there are good cops) then their liability insurance should be minimal (like some guy who has never gotten a ticket in his life.) Bad cops are a bad insurance risk so their rates are going to be much higher (like getting a DWI on your driving record). High insurance costs would make a bad cop less desirable by a future police force, which would cut out the re-hiring that I mentioned above. BTW, this has the advantage of making cops much more expensive to hire and, perhaps, having fewer cops might mean that bullshit laws might not be enforced.

    And, by way of closing, I will state that if some looter motherfucker tries to rob my store or burn my business then that looter motherfucker is dead meat on the sidewalk. A few dead looters in the street means that I won’t have to worry for the rest of the evening. Protest all you want (part of the now-dead First Amendment). Thieves get shot.

    Will see how it turns out

      I made the mistake of letting my mask slip in the ‘nonwork’ slack chat at my company. Although I tried to speak in a language that they’d have more trouble refuting.
      [proggie commentary about the need for gun control]
      me: i disagree simply because any limitations end up being discretionary based on who is in power, and tend to disfavor the poor, and powerless, who are precisely the people who most need to be able to defend themselves. it doesn’t matter what the law is, rich people will always have guns. the only thing that gun control does is keep poor people from defending themselves
      [proggie moderation about how they believe in the 2nd, but some weapons, people shouldn’t have]
      me: but now that they’re out there, without a special super secret brain wiping device, they’re out there. we can’t put the secret to gunpowder and ballistics back into a box. hell, anyone can even 3D print a gun. why not just let people arm themselves and charge them with murder when they do it wrong? i live in a county with an extremely high concentration of gun ownership per capita. know what? i don’t even bother closing the front door of my house unless i’m leaving for more than several hours. we don’t lock the house unless we’re leaving for more than 24. part of that is because the likelihood of encountering someone armed when committing a crime in my area is extremely high. part of that is also because, i know all my neighbors are well armed, and if something really happened, i wouldn’t have to wait on the police. i live in a largely blue collar neighborhood, and people are polite, mind their own business and most of them have guns. i would very much like people in poor neighborhoods to have the same level of independent security.
      [insert total silence in response]

      • blackjack

        I never know when to keep my mouth shut. I agree with you. Gun control screws the poor. Most laws screw the poor. The people in my town have been cheering all of these Covid laws because they can all afford to sit around for two months. They love the gun laws. Then, they tried to buy guns during this BS and couldn’t. The stupidity of giving up your freedoms will just never sink in to these people. They deserve what they get. Too bad so many decent people are getting shafted along with them. They go on and on about race. When I tell them that I care about all victims of police violence, they call me a racist. We are well and truly screwed. They just keep giving up freedoms and blaming whomever the DNC tells them to. I’m sad about it. I guess I should go back to staying on Glibs where the normal people are.

    “Ilhan Omar’s Daughter Retweets List Of “Supplies” Needed For Minneapolis Riot

    Ilhan Omar’s daughter, Isra Hirsi, helped spread around a list of supplies needed for the violent riot in Minneapolis Wednesday evening

    Isra Hirsi, co-founder of the “grassroots” anti-capitalist (their term, translated, socialist) US Youth Climate Strike, helped signal boost a list of supplies requested by the Minneapolis branch of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).

    Among the provisions that the DSA requested, were the following:

    Plywood for shields
    Tennis Rackets
    Hockey Sticks
    In addition to typical first aid tools to counteract inflammation caused by tear gas and pepper spray.

    Here’s the tweet she helped spread around, below is her justification for it:

    Want to help out your comrades protesting at the 3rd precinct (at Lake and Minnehaha?)

    Here’s a good list of much needed supplies (except for milk! Water is always better for eyewashing than milk!! Please don’t bring milk!) ”

      • slumbrew

        WTF did _that_ renaming happen?

        The answer is pander-riffic!

        … non-binding advisory question was added to the November 5, 2019, municipal election ballot for all Boston residents asking, “Do you support the renaming/changing of the name of Dudley Square to Nubian Square?” Election night results show that the question was defeated.[6]

        Mayor of Boston Marty Walsh subsequently announced that the question had “passed in the surrounding areas” near the square, and could be considered further by the city’s Public Improvement Commission.[7] On December 19, 2019, the Public Improvement Commission unanimously approved changing the name of Dudley Square to Nubian Square.[8][4]

        Amen, brother. Jay-sus, is that an eyesore.

        A million years ago, my roommate had decided to study architecture (briefly – he was a dope); he left one of his textbooks around the apartment and, in the intro, the authors stressed how important it was for architects to to carefully consider the surroundings of their buildings and not just plop down whatever strikes their fancy – paraphrasing, but it has stuck with me through the decades:

        “… like Boston City Hall, which squats like a concrete alien amongst the bricks of some of the oldest buildings in America…”

        Time has been no kinder to the building.

      • Chafed

        That’s an apt description. I know nothing about architecture. I remember the first time I saw it. My first thought was how it was incredibly ugly, uncomfortable, and out of place.

      • slumbrew

        It takes a special kind of elitist asshole to defend that building.

        The building has been subject to nearly universal public condemnation, and is often called one of the world’s ugliest buildings. Calls for the structure to be demolished have been regularly made even before construction was finished.

        Architects and critics considered it to be excellent work, with one poll finding that professional architects describe Boston City Hall as one of the ten proudest achievements of American architecture.

        Way to stay on-brand, architects.

        St. Louis County?

        Salt Lake City.

    • Chafed

      Nope. No drugs or ass.

      I guess the good people of Minneapolis will enjoy their version of the Watts riots and the resulting empty lots and burned out buildings.

        Just think of all those broken windows to rescue us from the Covid Depression.

      • Chafed

        I wonder which progressive pundit will be the first to say that.

    • leon

      the last 4 years has done a lot to expose how disconnected the media elites are. This is Akin to let them eat cake.

      • DenverJ

        The Akin’s Diet.

        Or arresting someone who defends themselves and their property against violent felons.

    I’m listening to local news. LA is really a mess. There have been plenty of jokes here about Korean business owners on the roof with rifles. I’m genuinely wondering if we are going to see something like that again.

      It’s bad, but not ’92 bad. I went up on Mulholland in ’92 and it looked exactly like Apocalypse Now. Maybe with a little time to soak. I keep getting bitched at on Nextdoor for my “privilege” because I’m pissed about losing all of my rights. Then, I get called a racist for caring about the non black victims of police violence. I’m tired of it.

      • Chafed

        I’ll defer to your first hand experience about the severity. It’s still amazing how little time went by between Garcetti saying he wouldn’t ask for the National Guard and announcing they are coming.

        I also suspect social media is contributing to the situation. That didn’t exist in 1992. I would not be surprised if, in a panic, martial law gets declared tomorrow.

      • blackjack

        In ’92, the cops literally went awol for the first three or four days. They didn’t lift a finger. That’s why there was so many “Korean rooftop store owners” Cops didn’t care a whit. From the top of the mountain, there were fires and helicopters every few blocks as far as you could see. It made it up into the valley a little. They got the strip mall down the street from my house, mainly because it had a shoe store and sneakers were big back then. It took a whole week and the cops finally came out of hiding once the peak was over. I’ll be surprised if this makes it that far.

        I will tell you this. I went to school in ’94. I went into the loan office and said ” Can’t we all just get a loan?” It cracked them up!

      • slumbrew

        Not a Nextdoor guy, but I have to think that’s like Facebook – why do that to yourself?

      • blackjack

        My wife got me on it. I have had some fun debating. I’m just pissed off in general right now. It’s kind of a bonding thing with her, really. But the people are really shitty. It gets old. It started when My car got stolen. Shoulda right quit then, LOL.

    Something all the oh-so-insightful talking heads on tv seem to be missing is that the kids out there acting up right now have been forced inside for three months because of a disease that never threatened them. They haven’t been able to see friends, go to parties, hit the clubs, play sports, do any of the usual things they do to blow off steam. And now they’re full of pent up frustration and taking it out on whatever is in their way. Yeah, they’re upset about George Floyd, but they’re also mad about their continuing denial of any healthy release of energy, and they’re letting loose in the first chance they’ve been allowed outside together without being screamed at to go back inside.

    And Don Lemon on CNN awhile ago was pontificating this is all about a nation divided by The Evil Orange Man. Fuck off Lemon. If this had been a year ago there would have just been some noisy protests rather than chaos in every city. Let people get back to their lives.

    • DenverJ

      I like your analysis.

      • slumbrew

        Agreed, spot on.

    • Stinky Wizzleteats

      Good analysis but the link between this and the covid isolation will never be made, not because it’s not valid (and obvious) but because of political expediency.

      • DenverJ

        This is also true.

    • Atreides

      Quit reading my mind!

      I just had this exact discussion today. Back in April, I had bet a friend that, by the end of May there would be riots due to the Wuhan coronavirus lockdowns. I lost that bet, but I then bet that there would be riots by the end of May. My friend tried to claim that this week’s riots were unrelated, but I argued that they are directly related. If it weren’t for the inchoate rage fostered by the lockdowns, the murder of George Floyd would have led to some local marches in Minneapolis, some national news coverage, and maybe some DOJ oversight.

    May as well resurrect this song that never really died:

    https://youtu.be/o1tj2zJ2Wvg

    It was apt during the Rodney King riots and unfortunately it still is now.

  52. Floridaman

    Some asshole threw something at my building, honestly this is making me feel nothing but hostility to these rioters and all they claim to support.

    • Floridaman

      I know it shouldn’t I should separate the protesters from the scum, but it is very hard.

      • salted earth

        They choose to stay when things get violent. Why not head home when you see people who are protesting with you throw things, light things on fire, or destroy property?

  53. Winston

    City Air will make us free!

  54. Winston

    Well if this keeps up we won’t have to worry about anti-black cops but Communist thugs. Mission accomplished I guess.

    Attacking/dragging someone holding an American flag and then waving a Mexican flag above. Great visuals, dumbshits.

    I’ve noticed that the Proud Boys are apparently nowhere to be seen. Wisdom or deciding that larping protest civil war isn’t so much fun with a group who are now full out violence with a Dem establishment to cover for them. Only a matter of time, if this keeps up, before it goes El Salvador or Northern Ireland. Someone’s going to get tired of this horseshit and start stacking morgues with these criminals and wannabe revolutionaries.

    • Chafed

      We can only hope.

    • Scruffy Nerfherder

      Portland is a commie shithole.

      Any sane person would pack up and leave before it burns.

  56. mrfamous

    Tonight’s moron fest in Old Town Scottsdale is likely going to provoke a reaction from authorities that’s gonna wind up sucking for everybody here.

  57. Sean

    Philadelphia has devolved into a shitshow too. Weak leadership is obvious. A line of police stood feet away from thugs lighting fires and they did nothing. ?

    • Stinky Wizzleteats

      These mayors standing by while roving gangs burn down their productive constituents’ shit need to be thrown out on their asses.
