SP is still gone, the “it’s a dry heat” trope is a lie during monsoon season, and we’re getting fucked over by idiot bankers. But that’s a story for a different day. Did I mention the monsoons? When I went out for a stroll this morning, well before sunrise, I was a bag of (((sweat))) within a minute. There are many things we’ll miss about Arizona, but the climate is not one of them.

Old Guy Music features someone who is largely forgotten (emphasis on “largely”) but shouldn’t be. Besides having mad skills as a xylophonist, he was a superb drummer and a credible saxophonist.

” He argued that human knowledge of the world is limited both by the human nervous system and the languages humans have developed, and thus no one can have direct access to reality, given that the most we can know is that which is filtered through the brain’s responses to reality.”
Pretty sure the Hindus said the same thing a thousand years earlier.
“I think Joe Biden is setting up for this country to move dramatically back in the direction of fiscal sanity, back in the direction of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights,” Cruz added.
The Texas senator went on to argue that Biden and Vice President Harris “lurched to the left almost from the opening day of the administration,” adding that “they made the decision to hand control of the Democratic Party over to the radical extreme.”
Harrison, a frequent critic of the Texas senator, blasted Cruz on Twitter in response to his comments going after Biden on Fox, writing, “you aren’t qualified enough to tie his shoes let alone speak his name disparagingly.”
Nyah nyah nyah!
I don’t know if that DNC chair is aware of it, but he’s basically equating Biden to Jesus Christ when he says Cruz is unworthy to tie Biden’s shoes.

Making us a bit rare among the Gentile nations.
Back when I was growing up, the white guys in the school locker room were all snipped, the black guys intact. Later learned this was more economic — the docs figured the white families had insurance or money, so increased profits by automatically doing that to white infants. Latinos also tend heavily (heh) towards intact.
The first intact white male I encountered had been born on a military base overseas and the army didn’t pay for that optional service.
Sometime in the late twentieth century the hippy types stopped circumcising. Currently certain Christian fundamentalists have started making a big deal of circumcision as a religious duty.

Today we stand at a crossroads. Our society knows how to afford young people grace and compassion, regardless of the crimes they are accused of committing or what they have done. We understand how to give a child the benefit of the doubt, and can accept that their youth makes them different and may shape their conduct. We can readily find proof in the way we talk about and treat white youths.

“It would have been nice if they did this for (((us))) back in the ’30s.”
The article doesn’t describe who these immigrants are.
Also left out of the article is the age of these “children”
from a link in the article
Further, extensiveresearch documents that children’s brains areactively developing until 25 years of age, and thatchildren lack the ability to effectively engage inlong-term planning, regulate emotions, control impulses,and evaluate risk and reward
But voting age should definitely be lowered to 16
And sex ed now starts at pre kindergarden.
That is why children up to the age of 25 can still be on their parents health insurance.
“the impact of this draconian practice is felt mostly by Black children, who comprise more than 70 percent of those sentenced to life without parole since 2012”
That does seem unbelievably high.
The cheat: what’s the overall number of children sentenced to life without parole? 5?
Does “those sentenced to life without parole ” refer to children or everyone sentenced to life without parole ?
I’m reading it as “children”.
Well, then it’s believable, for whatever definition of “children” they are using.

According to the sport’s governing body, Swim England, only 2% of regular swimmers are black. It found 95% of black adults and 80% of black children in England do not swim. While 79% of Asian adults and 79% of Asian children do not swim, black children are three times more likely to drown than white children.
I, uh…
Stereotypes exist for a reason.
Do Asians get special swimming caps?

It is time to extend that same grace and dignity to Black and brown children. That means we commit to seeing children of color for exactly what they are: children. That means dispensing with the worldview that renders them predatory, irredeemable, older than they are, and worthy of being tried as adults and sentenced to die in prison, and standing in solidarity with those who were sentenced to extreme terms as children. And we must mirror that shift in thinking with a dramatic shift in policy.
The American legal system is notorious for arbitrary and capricious race-based outcomes, completely divorced from the actual facts and specific circumstances in any given case. Most of the time, a trial is unnecessary. The Court Phrenologist makes a sentencing recommendation based on a thorough examination of the accused.
I see the /sarc, but the reality is that the first step to being involved in the American criminal justice system is for the cops to decide you’re guilty. They think they have down to a science. All science is scary nowadays. The cops actually probably are right about 80% of the time. Think about what that means for the other 20%. The cops will do anything to secure a conviction once they’ve deemed someone guilty, up to and including lying and fabricating evidence. Sometimes people fall under their suspicion just by bad luck. Even after proving innocence, the Kamala’s of the world still fight with all their might to keep people in prison. The realities of the “correctional” system often mean that people can never fully be free of it’s grasp. Parole is designed to return them to prison as often as possible. The political motivation is too strong. Do you want to be the guy who lightened up on a criminal who later commits a heinous crime? And then face reelection? Nobody does. Therefore, anybody who get’s convicted will get harangued for the rest of his life, just on the off chance he’s going to do something newsworthy later. It’s the opposite of 100 men going free rather than one innocent going to jail.
We pile on cops but I don’t think prosecutors get the attention they deserve. They’re more political, too. A cop’s job is just to feed the prosecutors.

Of course, air conditioning is a poor response to a warming world. Washington state lawmakers have taken more substantial action on climate change, and recently created a cap-and-trade system similar to California’s as well as new rules meant to constrain transportation pollution.
On Thursday, the Washington state senator Rebecca Saldaña, whose support proved crucial to passage of the cap-and-trade plan earlier in the year, said the heatwave demonstrated the need for climate action, particularly for people already living with pollution. Saldaña believes a new racially aware anti-pollution effort in Washington may prove consequential.
Imagine no more heat waves

They are completely correct. A/C is a poor response. It’s bad for the environment. Let’s outlaw it in Arizona. They seem to be the people who use it the most and have the most to lose by global warming. I’m sure they’d really appreciate the gesture.
Known as a problem solver and tireless advocate for racial, social, and economic justice, she brings 16 years of experience as an organizer with SEIU Local 6, the United Farm Workers, and Oregon’s farmworker union, PCUN.

Carlson then tied his allegations to a frequent theme on his program, claiming that the Biden administration is a threat to Americans’ freedom and is unfairly labeling many “patriotic Americans” as domestic terrorists and white supremacist saboteurs.
PEN America, a nonprofit that advocates for freedom of expression, said that the allegation that the NSA was spying on an American media figure was “a matter of concern,” but questioned whether claims from Tucker Carlson could be considered credible given his track record.
“In this instance, though, the allegations were made without proof, and have now been denied by the NSA. Tucker Carlson’s record for veracity, as assessed by credible fact-checking sources, is poor,” said PEN America CEO Suzanne Nossel.
“Absent further details and substantiation there is no basis to judge this accusation as credible.”
Not credible. The article says it could never have happened because the NSA is prohibited from spying on Americans.
That’s like going into court and basing your murder defense on the claim it couldn’t have happened because murder is illegal.
“have now been denied by the NSA”
When did that happen?
Fake news. They said he wasn’t an intelligence target or some such bullshit.
They didn’t deny shit.
Even if it wasn’t true at all, they still would give a vague and non committal answer.
We already saw this with Trump. The IC will close ranks and cover its ass but absolutely no definitive conclusions can be drawn, because any and all relevant information is classified. They will say just enough to give the press a fig-leaf and then move on, leaving the press and the blue-pilled to take care of the rest.
I see the /sarc, but the reality is that the first step to being involved in the American criminal justice system is for the cops to decide you’re guilty.
You’re absolutely right, Blackjack. The American “Justice” system isn’t.
But the implied premise of that little plea for mercy is that there are millions of sad-eyed black eight year olds doing hard time alongside America’s most wanted. As OMWC asked above, how many of these cases are there?
As flawed as the system is, there was probably something specific and special about the facts of the case (other than skin color) to get that special bump. You don’t get twenty years in Folsom for stealing candy bars.

*nods inconspicuously from my rental*
A year ago, we guessed that it would be 18 months to 2 years until the bubble pops. I’m leaning a bit later than that now, given how much money has been pumped into the economy and how long it usually takes the concomitant inflation to take hold. We’re gonna extend for one more year (3 total) and then buy.
However, as SSD mentioned, the prices may end up being inflated back to equilibrium instead of the prices crashing. Either way, we’re planning on saving until, at latest, June 2023 and buying whenever our down payment fund crosses the 20% barrier on a house we want.
Ayup. The bubble has to pop soon, doesn’t it?
I had hoped so, but I’m becoming concerned these prices are going to be the new baseline as inflation sets in.
My husband unit has been experiencing knee pain lately, so last night I suggested a 5mg THC gummy.

50mg?!? Holy shit!
I’m actually kind of impressed.
I should have been clearer. He took 10mg (he says).
However, evidence left at the scene of the crime indicates more like 20 mg were taken.
And munchies were definitely nommed in the kitchen…
Well, at least overdosing is impossible.
Gee, all we got for Tom T’s current bum knee is a bunch of lidocaine patches, graciously offered and delivered by Tres his own bad self (with a bunch of White Castle coupons to sweeten the deal.) Of course, TT has to be able to load gear in and out AND stand for our 45-minute set at a friend’s benefit today, so the THC might not be such a pretty good idea for his circumstances.
I’m wearing patella bands on both knees during work most of the time – definitely helps with stairs. Need to try some more stretches for the thigh muscles they attach to though.
Good luck to TT with his benefit concert!
And with the knee pain. CBD is supposed to help with pain but not get you high. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Honest reportage
The U.S. Supreme Court decided a major case on voting rights that essentially gutted what’s left of the Voting Rights Act.
The court upheld two Arizona laws — one of which banned the collection of absentee ballots by anyone other than a relative or caregiver, otherwise known as “ballot harvesting”; the other threw out any ballots cast in the wrong precinct.
“Obviously, the Supreme Court accepted our test and our reasoning and rejected the Democratic National Committee’s attempt to micromanage state elections,” Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich said on NPR’s All Things Considered Thursday.
The decision, though, was a blow to those who believe voting access is more important than rooting out fraud — and that’s most Americans, the latest NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll found. Fifty-six percent said making sure that everyone who wants to vote can do so is a bigger concern than making sure that no one who is ineligible votes.
“It very much narrows the path of challenging these many, many voter obstacles that states are instituting across the country,” Debo Adegbile, an anti-discrimination attorney, told NPR’s Nina Totenberg.
Gutted. GUTTED, I tell you!
Every random jackass with a pulse (or, in some cases, without) must be allowed to vote. Repeatedly, if necessary. Otherwise, DEMOCRACY! is a failure and civilization is doomed.
Everyone in (insert current boogeyman country) should be allowed to vote in US elections.
I certainly should be
Well, we think we can make world law, so sure why not.
OFFS!
Please do state who can’t do so (LEGALLY) right now. I won’t hold my breath.
Ah, yes. Nina Totenkopf.
A great arbeiter of truthyness.
President Biden condemned the Supreme Court decision, saying it would cause “severe damage” to voting rights.
Cedric Richmond, a senior White House adviser, told NPR’s Rascoe that the White House views this moment as the beginning of the fight.
“We’re going to fight in the courts; we’re going to fight in the streets,” he said. “We’re going to fight for fair voting. We’re going to do that, but, at the same time, we want our groups and community leaders to also take the belt-and-suspenders approach of educating people on how to deal with these new laws. What do they mean? How do I still vote meaningfully?”
——-
Activists say Biden should push to keep in place the safety measures that were enacted during the last election to protect unvaccinated people against COVID-19.
No shit, Shirley? Those “safety measures” to the voting process swept The Bumbler and his faithful Indian companion to victory, and now they want to make them permanent? Huh.

Democrats are increasingly fearful Vice President Kamala Harris’ missteps will open the door for Republicans to regain the White House, a new report said Friday.
Dems, including senior White House officials, fear that Harris will lose to any Republican she faces — including former President Donald Trump — if President Biden does not seek reelection in 2024, Axios reported.
At 56, Harris is more than two decades Biden’s junior — and has been considered the heir apparent to the 46th president since he selected her to be his running mate last year.
While Harris will still be the presumptive nominee if Biden becomes the first president since Lyndon Johnson to not seek a second full term, Axios reports that a series of blunders have left officials and operatives concerned.
Right now, one operative told Axios, the feeling among Democrats isn’t “‘Oh, no, our heir apparent is f—ing up, what are we gonna do?’ It’s more that people think, ‘Oh, she’s f—ing up, maybe she shouldn’t be the heir apparent.’”
It’s morning. You feel lousy. You turn your head, and there she is. Ugly truth is ugly. Start gnawing your arm off, Democrats.
It’s amazing how quickly Democrats forgot the reason Biden actually chose her.
Didn’t Biden just blurt out some pandering shit about wanting to pick a woman, snd a POC, as his running mate? I don’t think he had her in mind; he was just vomiting up buzzwords.
But the only democrat female POC up on the stage was Commie-la, so he was stuck.
The only one willing to get picked because of it…there are plenty that fit the bill. She was the only one that wanted to be an affirmative action Veep.
I bet that Stacey Abrams or Susan Rice would have gladly taken that spot, but they are even worse than Kamala.
Wasn’t there was some TV interview with Biden and Abrams where she thought he was going to ask her to be VP and her face visibly changed once she realized he wasn’t?
Lol yeah. I forgot about that….
Yes, and from that point on everyone knew it would be the one standing on the stage with him because it seems unlikely that he would have been familiar with another one meeting the requirements.
Meh I am thinking it is calculated oppo research early to prep for later to point out how she has grown ‘presidental’
So what’s the solution?
*Grabs popcorn*
This gonna be so bad, it’s gonna be good.
The Democratic officials who spoke to Axios said that in addition to Harris’ “handling of high-profile issues and political tone deafness,” they fear she’s been given bad advice by her press and communications people.
Harris still has her defenders, including senior adviser and chief spokesperson Symone Sanders, as well as White House senior adviser Cedric Richmond, who accused unnamed people of carrying out “a whisper campaign designed to sabotage her.”
“At some point it just becomes, one person says something long enough and it becomes an urban legend. It doesn’t have to be credible. It doesn’t have to be real. Someone says something and it can just snowball,” Richmond told Axios, later adding: “You’d just hope if there’s a legitimate criticism they’d put their name next to it.”
She’s a kind, caring generous person. Just look at the record. Maybe she got a little bad advice along the way, but she has devoted life to public service and the betterment of mankind.
Now stop saying mean stuff about her, or else.
I miss read Symone as Syndrome and thought of her as a cartoon villain.
Never wear a cape
She has the exact problem that HRC had in politics (aside from being an eldrich being); she fucked her way into it, which gave her zero skills that you actually need in politics. She doesn’t know how to actually talk to people to convince them she cares, she never learned to listen and get people to believe she heard, in short, she never learned to glad-hand, only to glad-handjob.
The same people who currently believe voting access is more important than rooting out fraud might feel differently if they thought those votes could swing things in a different direction. But- as we all know, for them
The end justifies the means
Your grill is filthy, has poor temperature control, and for some idiot reason has the heating element *below* the food so fat drips into it and catches fire. There’s a better way to cook: In your kitchen.

I disagree. I cook many things faster on my grill and without messing up the kitchen.
That is why you clean it, some proteins are better cooked with direct flame and I have noticed this as the second or third twatter idiot go after grilling.
My guess is they are scared of it and are just Marxist.
They probably got their feelings hurt by the other men standing around the grill drinking beer. Those guys weren’t woke enough and probably actually called one team “The Redskins”.
That is the gist of the other profound twitter I saw…men I just grill so they dont have to talk to others and listen.
Fuck off
“I mean, can you even grill soy?”
Yes, yes you can. Also seitan.
Fucking moron. My grill routinely gets to above 500 degree temperatures and stays there for hours at a time, killing every possible living pathogen 10 times over. My grill is cleaner than an autoclave, soyboy.
Exactly. Even when I am doing a lower temp I fire it up to above 500 for 30 minutes and then settle it down to the temps I want. He is just a whiney cunte that is doing what they do…attack what they see as masculine.
Never mind some of the best grill and pit masters are women.
I don’t disagree with what he’s saying about grill design. I just don’t care.
it’s pouring rain again… Unusual for July but since early june it has been rain rain rain
Cause weather patterns are supposed to always be the same duh.
Climate Disruption at work.
Clinging desperately to the narrative
Fauci offered a glimmer of good news ahead of the Fourth of July holiday: Americans can celebrate with the proper precautions, he said.
“That is, if you were vaccinated, you have a high degree of protection. If you are not, you should wear a mask, and you should think very seriously about getting vaccinated,” he said.
However, US Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy said he was most worried about people who are unvaccinated headed into the holiday weekend.
“If you are not vaccinated and if you’re going to be traveling and seeing others from various households, gathering indoors and if you’re not masked, then there is a significant risk that the virus will continue to spread,” he told CNN on Friday.
They need to keep pounding the table about this, so they can call for renewed lockdowns in the fall.
I say we kill them all now, and claim self defense.
Wink wink nudge nudge say no more
Seriously, all I need to see with these tools is their phony made-up job titles, and I know the rest automatically.
We need to protect our phony baloney jobs
I didnt know that there was an equivalent black Bundy group out there…

A report about the same incident on another site didn’t have any mention about Moors and I just assumed some white bubbas.
White bubba sovereign citizens who refused to put their weapons down would have been capped by now.
Probably why you will only see the reports on lesser sites.

Others do say militia group but yeah, it leads to the reader…ah those crazy white supremacists are at it again.
I saw that Law & Order.
Hayek had asked in the earlier post: “Is it just plain crazy to point out that if the media hadn’t ever covered Covid that no one would really have noticed anything? Maybe a “bad flu year” like 2017-2018 ushered out some elderly or otherwise infirm folks, but nothing noticeable on a real life scale.”
Granted it was a different media time, but the Asian flu in 1957-58 and 1968-69 likely both killed more on a per capita basis in both the US and the world and received fairly minimal media mention and certainly nothing of the response that was given to the Vid. Ask someone who lived through those if they even remember them.
I was born in the middle of the latter and I had never heard of it until last year.
Somehow Woodstock happened during the second one. I guess it must’ve been all the mask wearing that saved the Boomers.
for some idiot reason has the heating element *below* the food
Heat rises, numbnuts.
