With the coming of Fall, the weather changes, the leaves change… holy fuck, it’s still 107° out. Why do humans actually CHOOSE to live in this furnace? Well, other things are changing, much like my soiled adult diapers.
Speaking of diapers, many newborns appeared on this date, including Francisco d’Anconia’s spirit animal (one of whose movies we watched two nights ago); a guy who never went home; a guy whom I fervently wish had lived long enough to witness this timeline; a true Madman; a mystery wrapped in an enigma wrapped in a Big Bambu; a scumbag Jew-hater who Team Blue tongue-bathes with adoration; a source of relief to the pigeons of Austin; and a wide receiver who was brutally fun to watch.
Some things never change, and the news is one of them.
Fortunately, there are no pics.
Blind pig. Acorn. And really, this governor ought to be introduced to the concept of woodchippers.
Someone besides us watched the debates.
Old Guy Music continues my obsession with Matt Lorenz, who manages to be a force of nature, a one man band who (fittingly) does Tuvan throat singing.
So does the Senate have COViD too? Why can’t they confirm who prez Woo Flu nominated?
Now that I fully RTFA I see that two Senators have it as well.
“Senators Mike Lee of Utah and Thom Tillis of North Carolina, among those announcing they had tested positive for the virus,”
Well they should just wear a shitty mask since “science” says it will protect the rest of the Senate.
That’s a funny rejoinder.
Both Senators are Republican. A RINO defection or two might keep them from 50 votes.
Unless they these two are quarantined for the vote in a glass covered portion of the Senate floor.
Yet, when presented with an opportunity to regain hearing, a lot of them are adamantly opposed.
There are some advantages. If I was deaf I could sleep though the night without being woken up by the neighbors arguing or cats yowling.
I don’t hear well anymore, there are some advantages. I also don’t see as well as I used to and no advantages. Life goes on, I can still read, in spite of a public school education.
We have over a dozen pairs of reading glasses scattered around the house. Maybe twenty? I know that there are three pairs in the truck. Far-sightedness sucks.

I also hear cataract patients no longer need glasses after the simple surgery, so hope for cataracts?
I’m mixed on eye surgery (although it would be nice if covered). I knew folks on my last ship whose lasik improvements only lasted a few years – not sure about PRK – but the recovery time was a big issue when assigned to a ship.
Pretty sure my Dad has had cataract surgery more than once and he still wears glasses – may also be related to age at time of surgery and other conditions.
I say the time has come to allow the deaf to use regular buildings.
that was a really cool video. I never considered things like needing wider walkways and hallways so that you can look at each other while walking in order to have a conversation. So that is a unique challenge for a place like that. And the design of classroom spaces was also interesting.
The big notion was that stairs are an impediment…. you are walking along and come to a set of stairs and you have to shut up for a minute while you go down the stairs. I can see where that would be annoying.
But then things got a little weird. “Glass elevators allow communication on the go…” WTF? Who talks to people in the lobby while they are in the elevator? That makes very little sense…
And then “transparent walls allow conversation between rooms…..’ What? That’s not really a thing… I mean, I can yell down the hall for Steve, but generally we don’t talk that way. And the whole “what about private conversations” bit really got short shrift. Why did you make public spaces so that you could have conversations with anyone from anywhere in the space in the first place? How often do you need to carry on a conversation from 60 feet across a lobby?
Things really took a turn for the weird once they brought that stuff up. They said “architects design spaces for private conversations” and showed a series of public spaces where there were absolutely no places where you could have a private conversation.
I don’t know how well I would function in deaf culture.
Someone’s been reading Zamyatin.
LOL
Yeah, a lot of these problems don’t require architectural solutions. I have conversations with my deaf daughter from other rooms all the time.
“Daughter!”
“Daughter!”
“DAUGHTEEEER!!!!!”
*Unlocks phone*
– Get down here and feed the cats
– kk brt lol, love.
That sounds familiar. We are a loud family. Lots of loud in my house. So they have all acquired the skill of not being able to hear anything that they don’t want to hear. So I can yell from 3 feet away and still get nothing.
Which, of course, results in using “dad voice”, which always gets their attention.
Which, of course, usually results in the wife getting annoyed with dad for using dad voice.
After having the tumor removed from my head I have no hearing in my left ear. My doctor really pushed for a conduction type implant. I have decided not to because I don’t want that thing stuck to my head like Frankenstein’s monster and because I know myself well enough to know that I wouldn’t care for it properly and it would become infected. So I go to work everyday and cope the best I can.
Also fuck Whitmer. It’s about time people stand up to her.
Amen to that!

That’s what SHE said.
No, he was right the first time. 3% of the US population would be 10 million.
Last summer (2019) we had a science camp for high school kids. One of them was deaf so we had to hire ASL interpreters. Yes, that’s plural. We had to have two because they have to spell each other every 30 minutes. Cost us over $6K, just for the interpreters. I was faced with either effectively doubling the camp fee or eating the cost–I ate the cost. This time.
Next time we cancel the camp.
Wow. That’s just insane!
Are there grants to help with that?
This sounds like something that could happen to us.. we have been discussing putting together a robotics/programming camp. I have been vacillating about how to do it…. the original thought came as a way for one of my favorite teachers to get paid to do the enrichment programs she does at the elementary school. I was looking at putting it together as a part of after-care and summer camps through the school system. But we also had thoughts of just doing a summer camp that was independent of bureaucracy.
Welcome to the world of unfunded mandates.
Reducing opportunities for everyone, everywhere.
A few more details…
During the academic year, our office of adaptive services provides ADA accommodations for students in classes. Summer camps, though, are extracurricular so they refused to help. The other real problem was that we just learned about the deaf kid a week before the start of camp, which limited our choices. You may be able to get some money for your programs if you plan for it in advance but independence of bureaucracy also means you have to solve your own problems.
On the other hand, we do probably a dozen summer camps of various kinds in normal years (yes, including band camp), and this is the first time this particular problem has hit us, so my long term solution is probably going to be some sort of “tax” on all the camps to create a self-insurance pool to pay for any future needs. If this is something that only happens every 2-3 years then I can increase fees by only $6-7 per camper to cover it. I have enough wiggle room in my budgets to cover stuff, it’s just that for this one I got really pissed at this “buy 2 get 1” deal that I was kind of forced into because of the short notice. We have students taking ASL classes, and with more lead time we could probably have hired them for a lot less.
Next time you tell all the parents of the children with normal hearing how much the deaf kid is costing them.
“Wait a minute. .3% of the population uses sign language? Yet every lefty function has an interpreter? I suspected it was some kind of scam, but I had no idea it was that ridiculous.”
Not so much that, but it is very easy to put text on a screen now.

Speaking of Whitmer, a small blip in the lockdown saga occurred when she banned sales of seeds and gardening supplies. I can’t wrap my head around the evil of such a decision. I may have mentioned losing my job because I was dumb enough to work in the volatile entertainment industry. Well, I got hired at a garden center recently. Apparently they’ve done better than normal business through the lockdowns, presumably as people stuck at home began projects. Now, they tell me veggie garden seeds are hard to keep in stock, I suspect people want a hedge against possible shortages.
I can’t pick who’s the worst between Whitmer, Cuomo, and Wolf.
Probably Cuomo simply because he is directly responsible for thousands of deaths.
He sleeps well at night.
Legault and Ford are in that mix.
You forgot Walz
And Whitmer, who also ordered patients back into elder care facilities.

As they should. Wear masks around those confirmed to have it, don’t wear around those who don’t have it. It’s not that hard.
I thought the masks only reduced spread from those with the CCPV. It’s as if the reason keeps changing.
The masks will save us! The masks will save us!
“Usage of face masks are strongly encouraged by health officials, to prevent the spread and transport of respiratory droplets. In this study, however, we show that a single layer of a surgical mask can atomize a cough droplet into numerous tiny droplets, thereby significantly increasing the total population of aerosols ejected during a single human cough. Although droplets of a broader size distribution are ejected during coughs, we focused our attention towards a relatively large droplet size (~ 620 ??), which shows great affinity to undergo atomization during its penetration through the mask layers. The entire phenomenon was captured using a high-speed shadowgraphy imaging technique at a recording rate of 6500 fps. The single-layer masks were found to be ineffective in restraining cough droplets while no penetration could be noticed for a triple-layer mask. This is because a single-layer or double-layer face mask causes atomization of the droplets resulting in the formation of larger number of droplets with smaller sizes (< 100 ??). These tiny droplets can aerosolize in the immediate environment and can remain suspended for a longer time. Thus, it is recommended to avoid the use of a single-layer or double-layer surgical face mask as a physical obstruction to the ejected cough droplets for controlling the spread of the COVID-19 virus."

You’d have to be living under a rock to expect that.
Ah, I get it. He’s an idiot.
Worse.
“ He said that he respected their goal to build a society without hierarchy, but that their tactics worried him since they could help President Trump get re-elected.”
He has no problem with arson, looting, assault, killings in principle. He just objects if they might help Republican win an election.
These people are broken. And I don’t know how fixable they are.
“Quinn told Stockman that these anarchist groups advertised the protests on social media and drew “cultlike energy” to demonstrations in Portland, Oregon, and Washington, D.C. Left-wing anarchist groups that are part of the Antifa movement typically use social media to organize their gatherings and protests.
It is a common misconception — and a prevalent lie — that most of these protests spontaneously erupt due to anger at police brutality. But according to Quinn, the truth is that these events are meticulously organized, with protesters being recruited online.”
Yet, the social media companies cracked down on anti-lockdown protests.
Apparently* this guy is running to be my congresscritter. VA GOP might have learned from recent mistakes. I hate to have to point it out but it is the way it is, Team Blue cannot play the race card on him.
*Mildly concerning that I didn’t know until I looked it up.
Team Blue cannot play the race card on him
Ahhhh…..
Logically, of course. But they will anyway because clearly he is an “Uncle Tom”.
Never understood the reference. Didn’t Uncle Tom eventually stand up to his master and got beaten to death by other slaves? Maybe appropriate in this case.
Exactly, but apparently very few people remember that, and think of the version from “The King and I”
So we know all the schools aren’t meeting in person, so let’s push for a tax increase.
Go ahead and read down to the budget block if you want to really get pissed. I’m not in that school district, so I can’t vote against it.
But they saved $2.5M on PPE!
I saw that line item, and am trying to figure out how the fuck the school district needed $2.5M on PPE. Were they running a required metal shop class?
I wonder who will be left standing to write the History of 2020.
I’m surprised it’s not folded into your city taxes like it is here.
This is an additional tax on top of the ones that already exist. When you fill out your local and state taxes, you have to include the school district you reside in, which can change your taxes. Of course, since the school district you reside in is based on your address, they should already know it.
Yeah, I have to tell the state my county. ?
Apparently, there is still One Blockbuster left in the world.
An it has a separate Website from the corporate one.
There are thousands of municipal libraries functioning. Old folks need their reading fix and bums need to take a leak and sleep one off.
What’s that have to do with Blockbuster?
Seemingly obsolete business models?
Last year when I was at PAX Unplugged, there was a company launching the Blockbuster Board game. It’s a fairly basic party game, but with Blockbuster branding. They sold out over the course of the event.
Talking with the company reps, they said it cost surprisingly little to license the Blockbuster name and logos for the board game.
I’m not surprised.
That game is also one of the products the last store is selling on their site.
Isn’t that most businesses?
Here’s a video of all the Blockbusters in the US coming and going.
I am seeing Biden/Harris signs sprouting. I’m skeert. I am desperately hoping Trump supporters are just not advertising because asshoes.
I’m confident about the “Shy Tory” syndrome but what worries me are the shennanigins post-ballot. That’s when shit gets weird.
I have also noticed that there are yard signs for our Team Blue state congresscritter and other Team Blue candidates, but none for Biden in the same yard.
100% this.
I’d have a Trump sign except 1) I don’t advertise my politics and 2) if I did I’d fear the destruction of my property by violent leftists.
It may be that others are like me: don’t like the guy but have no choice, but certainly not going to campaign for him.
We had a Rand Paul sign back in the day and I still have Rand Paul tee shirts. “The NSA knows you bought this Rand Paul T-shirt.”
High five, sistah! I have the Rand NEA one too. 🙂
Same. I have a strict “No Logo” rule. Either you pay me to advertise or it doesn’t get my endorsement regardless of the cause. Fuck You. Pay me!
Hey, that’s my line! But I’ll let you use it. LOL
Stolen from Goodfellas but it stands.
Oops. I never saw that.
I got it from Harlan Ellison. PAY THE WRITER!
Early punk/hippy influence. No, I’m not a walking billboard and fuck off. Funny how that was one of the only things that really grew on me from those days. That and the sores…
The Karens are out in force. Here in one Philly burb, the GOP’s internal polling showed Biden gained another one percent on Trump after the debate on Tuesday. The moms and single gals don’t care for rudeness…unless they are upbraiding some far right Nazi white supremacist who isn’t wearing a mask i while jogging in the park.
Far from a Karen, my wife thought he acted like a bully and is much more negative toward him now.
Biden interrupted him first, called him a liar, and told him to shut up. Confirmation bias and all that, but I don’t see how Trump is the bully.
Well, so Cam Newton tested positive for the WuFlu and there is chatter about the game against the Chiefs being postponed.
We can’t have the healthiest people risk catching a cold with a mortality rate of a fraction of a percent.
Sort of like Tennessee/Pittsburgh?
So, the Patriots’s white privilege is real?
I’m so glad I stopped watching football. You can’t fucking postpone a fucking game. Have you ever heard such a fucking bunch of bullshit? A QB breaks their leg and is out for the season, you don’t postpone games, that’s the ‘breaks’, pun intended. FUCK THE NFL. That is all.
Game canceled because several other Patriots players have been sent home pending further testing.
Chatter is that they’ll play it Tuesday if all comes up rosy.
Last night in Portland

How fucking stupid do you have to be to try and block a cop’s motorcycle? They’re all lucky the officer had far greater restraint than they did.
I for one welcome the monsters from under the bed.
These people also stand in front of cars while threatening the people in said cars. Do that to me and you will learn a hard lesson on the operation of a mobile 3000 pound hunk of metal.
Sadly, when antifa controls the machinery of justice, you will be arrested and process punished.
They can’t physically break you so they will go to more deceptive measures, like slinging plague-ridden rats over the city walls. They’ve been at it for fifty years.
My husband’s youngest son just called to tell us he knocked up his girlfriend. Fortunately, she seems like a genuinely decent person, from the one visit we had with them.
I’d say “he’s not ready” but then, no one really is.
Sigh. One more liberal voter, incoming.
Mornin’ Granny! *ducks*
Ugh. So it begins.
After my husband got off the phone after hearing the news, he muttered quietly to himself “Payback’s a bitch.”
aka “The fucking you get for the fucking you got.”
At least that’s how dad described me and my sister.
Possibly my favorite sitcom dialogue ever, from early “Roseanne”: Dan and R. are flirting in the kitchen with the kids present. Becky scoffs, “You guys think we don’t get your corny little sex jokes.” Roseanne replies, “You kids ARE our corny little sex jokes.”
Run in the family?
Wow, modern ultrasounds have amazing diagnostic capabilities.
/hope for an Alex P Keaton
It was the footie pajamas that gave it away.
Lol.
How long have they been together?
2 years? Something like that.
A good sign.
And they came to visit us out here in CA. So she was “introduced” to the family.
I’m hoping her liberal tendencies are just a product of being a young woman indoctrinated by school to think left=compassion.
For sure.
Almost all of them are retarded at that age.
Congratulations to all of you! Be the badass grandma I know you can be!
Hopefully. I think most of us were raised kinda squishy-left. She’ll come around when life smacks her in the face a few months from now.
“*reads Cal Cunningham’s “and you are historically sexy”*”

So what does that even mean? You’re so sexy you’ll make history, like Helen of Troy? You would have been hot in the past?
She’s dressed as a slutty Abigail Adams?
Evidently, saying “I’d rather be a rapist than a pedophile” is the best icebreaker.
“Yes, I would. If I could I surely would.”
Life is short.

Is that from Fiddler On The Roof?
It’s a Garfunkel and Simon song.
When I was a wee boy, like about 5, I used to tool around on my mustang bike with the sissy bar and banana seat humming that tune. Memories are funny things. Thanks Ted S.
