- Well, replaying war on the high seas from the 17th and 18th Centuries… probably not good, but might be morbidly entertaining. We’ll call this one a push.
- Hmmm. I guess we have to see if this ends up happening , well, everywhere. Probably a net bad thing overall.
- The prison door cracks open a bit. Despite the small scale, we have to call this a slight positive.
- I really don’t want to see what happens with this. It cannot be good.

France says Britain has refused to grant its fishermen the correct number of licences to operate in British waters and has said it could impose targeted measures from Tuesday, including tightening some checks on trucks moving between the neighbours.
Britain says it is issuing licences to vessels that can prove they have previously fished in UK waters.

“FDNY union officials are bracing for “dozens” of fire companies to shutter and slower response times Monday as Mayor Bill de Blasio’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for city workers officially goes into effect, they said at an early morning press conference.”
Yes, that cannot be good.
And so it begins,
As long as Gracie Mansion is in the no service area, there might be some good forthcoming.
Respond to fires at non-government entities, and let government entities burn.
“18 NYC fire companies out of 300 are out of service after anti-vaxx firefighters are sent home and 2,300 call out sick: 5,000 NYPD unvaccinated cops file exemptions to keep their jobs as de Blasio’s COVID jab mandate creates EMT havoc”

Think they’ll ever get that right? Even once?
I know, I know. Stop laughing.
Well, it’s good for arsonists.
Seriously, this will be like crack cocaine to them.
Makes me think of Hell Night in Detroit.
Ahem. Devils’ Night. They call it Angels’ Night now…
Fire it up! Fire it up!
I ain’t Skank… Skank’s right there! Skank’s dead!
Ah, that’s right.
The day before the mandate was issued, just 60 percent of all FDNY employees and 61 percent of EMS had gotten a shot, city data shows. The vaccination rate among firefighters now stands at 75 percent — up from 58 percent 13 days ago.
Funny how some people respond to an ultimatum.
It’s an enormous game of chicken. They really thought that when faced with being fired, everyone would cave.
And that their peers would hound them about it.
And that everyone who got a vaccine would also support mandates.
True, but, when i see rate among firefighters now stands at 75 percent — up from 58 percent 13 days ago, assuming it’s true (big if), then that’s more caving than makes me comfortable. Gives them hope that the harder they push, the more that compliance creeps upward.
The final number who end up fired won’t be 25%. The question is, what will that final number be? Even 5-10% in any profession will cause huge disruptions.
It’s a cliché, I know, but it will be innocent people who just want to be left alone who suffer from it — if it hurt nothing but politicians, I’d say disrupt away. Disrupt straight to hell for all I care.
I wonder how many submitted fake vax cards.
Or how many had already been vaccinated but didn’t report it.
The prison door cracks open a bit.
The covid tyranny will boomerang right back though.
Interesting how a year ago first responders were our front line heroes who deserved a standing ovation and spots on tv commercials. Now some of those same people are selfish and dangerous and need to be punished.
They are no longer essential to the party.
They were pawns that have traversed the board and have now been converted to a Queen. They were supposed to remain pawns in a blocking position.
Which reminds me, chess is truly the most woke of games. The Queen is by far the most powerful piece, nearly twice the value of the rook. I don’t understand why so few women play.
White goes first?
And, notably, the very thing they were being lauded for, being front line workers in the face of COVID, gave them an outsized likelihood of gaining the natural immunity that should exempt them from needing to be vaccinated. If they were heroes for working through the pandemic and risking getting COVID, what rational reason is there to tell them they must get a shot after incurring the downside of their bravery?
My wife has noticed the same change and is appalled at how quickly the TMITE addicts have flipped without even a pang of self-awareness.

Lamentations?
^THIS^
The book of Daniel would be thought provoking. From the dream of the statue with feet of clay, to the writing on the wall, and the foreshadowing of the Beast of Revelations.
One of the most intriguing things in Daniel (to me) is when a. Angel comes to visit Daniel and says “Sorry I’m late; I was detained by the Prince of Persia.” The passages there refer to angels who appear to be “assigned” to various nations and are called “princes”.
At least that is one interpretation of it. Like CS Lewis “Out of the Silent Planet” wherein Earth’s “angel” had fallen (Lucifer) and was thus no longer in communication with the angels of other planets.
Does the United States have a “Prince”? And if so, has he fallen or is he wrestling with others?
So you’re saying that this is a crypto-satanist metaphor?
Don’t get me wrong, I’ve read C.S. Lewis and had forgotten about that part. I read Perelandra first and loved it. Then I went back to “Out of the Silent Planet” and when I got to “That Hideous Strength” I was creeped out beyond measure. It seemed too spot on with the “real world” for my teenage brain.
His name is Hunter.
I smell desperation.
Mitchell said, “How did Terry McAuliffe let Glenn Youngkin reframe the debate on education, including things like Toni Morrison’s book ‘Beloved’ becoming a flashpoint in this race with the issue of Critical Race Theory, which is not even taught in Virginia schools, but it’s become, according to most of the polls a big deal?”
Stoney said, “You are correct. We have seen Glenn Youngkin sort of divide parents all throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia, pitting parents against parents, demonizing teachers, demonizing public education, and to me, that’s not the sort of governor I know that Virginians want. We want a governor who understands that taught about the seriousness and how barbaric slavery was featured in ‘Beloved’ is actually correct. In order for us to actually grow as a commonwealth, we have to understand that slavery was real, the Holocaust was real and unfortunately Glenn Youngkin and his supporters don’t believe so and believe that our children should not be taught the same as well.”
Slander is fine when Dems do it. And it is not divisive at all.
Back with the slavery wasn’t real line eh?
The Republicans don’t want to tell you the truth that they were the party of slavery!
Dog whistling Dixie.
the Holocaust was real
Wow, just gonna slip that in there?
Does anyone deny it?
I have the feeling there’s at least a handful of Dem Representatives who would argue that it wasn’t a bad thing. Maybe we should add “and was a bad thing” to that.
Slavery IS real, fucking idiots……
Yeah, they seem to think that there has only ever been one kind of slavery on this earth and that it is relevant only to US politics and culture. What a tragic mistake–they fail to notice that it continues to this day in many forms.
Slander is fine when Dems do it. And it is not divisive at all.

“In order for us to actually grow as a commonwealth, we have to understand that slavery was real, the Holocaust was real and unfortunately Glenn Youngkin and his supporters don’t believe so and believe that our children should not be taught the same as well.”
OFFS!
Shameless.
Clearly what we need is fewer whites.
Virginia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe called for the Old Dominion state to “diversify” its teacher base, lamenting that the commonwealth has proportionately more White teachers – and promising a program ostensibly aimed at attracting non-White teachers.
“We got to work hard to diversify our teacher base,” McAuliffe said at a campaign event in Manassas Sunday.
“Fifty percent of our students are students of color, 80% of the teachers are White, so what I’m going to do for you, we’ll be the first state in America,” he continued. “If you go teach in Virginia for five years in a high-demand area — that could be geographic, it could be course work — we will pay room, board, tuition, any college, any university, or any HBCU here in Virginia.”
I think there is a term for people that judge other people by their skin pigment.
Progressive?
LOL
I laughed too.
Indeed. Well played.
If they’re serious, they should fire 30% of their teachers.
60% (or three-quarters of the White teachers).
Get rid of just 30% of the teachers, and the teaching staff will still be 5/7 White.
A new 3/5th’s compromise?
You forgot the “Well, ackshually”.
Technically correct is the best kind of correct.
Maths is rayciss, yo!
Ted’s with his White math Tricknology
Fifty percent of our students are students of color
But I heard about half of those are whites that lied to take advantage of their incorrect perception that there is privilege is claiming non-white status.
“We got to work hard” what schools did he attend?
Catholic schools, as it happens.
I thought “hard work” was a white supremacist dog whistle?
Well, I guess the whole “Oh, it’s all just a big misunderstanding. Youngkin is taking my words out of context!” spiel fell flat on its face. Terry seems to be doubling down on actually supporting educational leftism.
It’s really quite remarkable.
I thought he was more politically astute than that.
I think he was thinking he was riding a wave. I bet if we didn’t have millions of kids at home opening their classrooms to parents via Zoom, no one would have made a fuss beyond a local school board meeting. Oh and the whole rapey thing being covered up too.
You’d think he might pivot to something else.
You think these guys are astute at this point? No, they have Bryn Mawr graduates for that!
So they need more male teachers to be role models to the male students.

It’s funny to me how hookup culture has just as many taboos and mores as traditional marriage cultures have.
You can’t just bump uglies anymore, it needs to be hashed out in social convention whether the ugly bumping is recreational, in furtherance of an emotional bond, exclusive, casual, etc.
Maybe, just maybe, those old fuddy duddies had it right with the cow and milk analogy. Turns out guys are highly motivated by sex, and aren’t really into getting into emotional relationships when they’re already getting all the perks without all the responsibilities.
Wife is running through Mad About You and there is a part where they are talking to their therapist cause she faked an orgasm and then they had sex again and she reached twice but he was distracted.

Mad About You did have a great take on lesbians:
“Why do men like lesbians so much?”
“It’s naked and fun and I agree with both of them.”

Kinda like how the Repubs always have a “female voter problem” because only 40% of women vote Repub, but Dems never have a male voter problem even though only 40% of men vote Dem.
Kinda gives credence to the right-wing loons (for lack of a better term) that I see who are laser focused on making people acknowledge that the left is anti-male, anti-straight, anti-christian, and anti-white. The left makes sure that’s the quiet part for a very good reason.
Any of those gals who think that they need a guy should just wander over to the Engineering school.
The first few weeks every fall were always a feeding frenzy as upperclassmen were hitting on all the freshmen women who had signed up as engineering majors.
Everyone knew that after a month or so the vast majority of those gals would be changing their majors to English, Literature or some other major. They realized that they could get a degree much easier in one of those fields and not have to do the crushing homework of Engineering.
So gals hard up for male companionship only need to swing by an engineering lab. On the other hand, the guys there will be engineering students and probably won’t be able to suppress their snickers as you tell them what you learned in Gender Studies.
Kim was a hot chick who was in our little study group.
First time she approached our little group she was flirting and then realized that we were all married. She said, “Shit! I knew you guys were married, you all dress funny and you won’t give me your homework answers”.
We laughed. Turns out she was married too. She joined our little group and was our goto gal when we needed to get answers from one of the other study groups. She’d walk over and they’d give her all their answers and any old tests they had.

When I graduated with a CS degree – oh back in the 90s, there was one… one! gal in those last later required classes.
She was hired the day after she graduated. She wasn’t particularly a good programmer, at least not in the intense class where she and three others of us started a project for a local company and had to try complete it before the semester ended.
She didn’t do any of the coding – that was left to rest of us. But she was pretty enough – 7/10 – and smart enough to impress the management of the company. They were the ones who hired her.

Aren’t women supposed to be going through a certain phase in college anyway?
Plasma?
Hey, Pal, just what you see.
Most dorms are only wired for single phase.
Men kept out of universities — women hardest hit.
Or not, I guess.
Still, if there was ever a time to be a LUG, college is it!
I’ve known at least one LUG. In the biblical sense.
It’s not women’s fault for trying to drive young men out of academia; it’s men’s fault for being highly desirable!
From the article:
Relationship therapist Charisse Cooke told FEMAIL: ‘Golden Penis Syndrome speaks of the delusional belief that you are unusually and uniquely gifted as a man, sexually or otherwise, and are above established norms of good manners, respect and dating etiquette.
What Ms. Cooke seems to have trouble wrapping her head around that these young men picked up quite easily is that their belief isn’t delusional. Under the circumstances it’s a mostly accurate assessment of the situation. The women are excluding very large swaths of the otherwise eligible men from their consideration and the colleges are helping them do so. In that situation, the guy is a rarer commodity than the woman.
Shocking that supply and demand apply to the dating market, isn’t it? For years, people have been noting the bias in favor of women in college admissions. And the response was mostly to cheer it. Now, they’re experiencing one consequence of that bias, even if they’re immune to the fact that making higher education unfriendly to men is wrong in itself. If there’s a shortage of guys relative to women, guys will be able to demand more favorable terms on the dating market. Why shouldn’t they leverage that advantage? The ladies could put a stop to it by looking at dating men outside of the academy. Of course, I don’t think these girls are being encouraged to look at that option.
The ladies could put a stop to it by looking at dating men outside of the academy.
*clutches pearls, faints*
Look, she may be willing to fuck below her station, but she has the good sense to know to marry appropriately.
Yeah, those ladies in college have been told for years that they don’t want any of those types of men who come home with a little grime under their fingernails.
And that’s their right. And the price of that is that they are going to have to date guys who’re in a much better position to treat them shabbily. Because their artificially restricted market doesn’t favor much selectivity on their part. Maybe they’ll get lucky and find a guy who’ll treat them well, regardless. Then again maybe they won’t.
It’s like a wise man once said, there are no solutions, only trade-offs.

The premise of Cherry 2000 is starting to seem all too real, isn’t it?
If you’re unfamiliar with the film, it essentially tells the incredibly slight tale of hapless Sam Treadwell (David Andrews), who breaks his sex robot and endeavours to get her up and running again. While real flesh-and-blood women, accompanied by their lawyers, bust balls in nightclubs over what they will or will not consent to during casual sexual encounters – the far-right areas of Reddit could happily file that under “this is the future that liberals want” with a straight face – Treadwell is perfectly and blissfully happy with his treasured robot Cherry. Although she doesn’t know who invented Vaseline (don’t ask), she satisfies him where it counts, and she cooks a mean burger.

Richmond, VA: Local man rents one of those big-ass, electronic, programmable signs, sets it to read “Let’s Go, Brandon,” parks on overpass over I-95. Hassled by cops, but ultimately allowed to stay.
Nice. You wouldn’t happen to know said local man, would you?
Hopefully, the conversation was “Look, we have to be here to say you shouldn’t do this…look scared or something. Okay buddy, Lets Go Brandon! have a good day”
Cops shouldn’t even have done that.
Should have told the callers that they’d have to hang up and call the Chinese Communist Party to lodge their complaint. Unfortunately they dialed an American number and there is no reason to stop a free man from communicating whatever idea he has.

NAACP president Derrick Johnson urged all pro free agents, in a letter sent to all major players associations on Thursday, to avoid signing with any team in Texas.
“As we watch an incomprehensible assault on basic human rights unfold in Texas, we are simultaneously witnessing a threat to constitutional guarantees for women, children, and marginalized communities,” Johnson and NAACP Texas president Gary Bledsoe wrote to the players associations for the NFL, WNBA, NBA, MLB, and NHL. “We must stand up for what is right and protect our loved ones from the dangerous attacks on freedoms taking place in Texas.”
The NAACP specifically cites Texas’ effective six-week abortion ban, its recently enacted voting restrictions, Gov. Greg Abbott’s (R) battles to ban COVID-19 masking and vaccine requirements, and the newly signed congressional district maps.
TX is practically a slave republic.
“constitutional guarantees for women, children, and marginalized communities,”

Im trying to figure out something with these people giving the OK to vax kids now. A few weeks ago the FDA voted 16-3 against booster shots for adults, mostly because we didnt have enough data. Am I wrong or are the booster shots and the actual vaccine pretty much the same thing but in a smaller dose for the children? Again Im not sure if Im missing something but is there any explanation for the reversal?
Fuck you that’s why.
Comply or die.
Yes you are missing the fact you are a functioning human being that is trying to reason the unreasonable.

What you’re missing is a bank account full of cash from lobbyists for an industry that’s making billions of dollars on vaccines. According to Google:
“On Tuesday, the company announced just how much money the shot is generating. The vaccine brought in $3.5 billion in revenue in the first three months of this year, nearly a quarter of its total revenue, Pfizer reported. The vaccine was, far and away, Pfizer’s biggest source of revenue.”
I do believe that the covid-19 vaccine is Moderna’s ONLY current commercial product. They had been losing money for several years. For what it’s worth, Wikipedia seems to confirm.

A guy was just riding a sports bike on the tarmac at LAX. No face mask either. Blackjack was telling us about the strict rules there.
Just got back from the County Government Center. The place used to be a private entity that was licensed to do official things. Everything was awesome. It is now an official county entity and …. well, let’s say that it isn’t as smooth and quick as before.
It started out with the officious woman who guarded the door. The two things she really cared about were a) making sure people wore their masks and b) knew that they were closing at 4pm and if you weren’t seen by then too fucking bad.
Then we got to listen to at least half the taxpayers get mad about not being able to do some simple thing. The big thing is still not meeting the requirements to get the super duper Real ID. At least 4 different people complained that the list on the web page said one thing only to find out that the “official” state document has more stringent requirements. When people complained, the world weary clerk would sigh and say “Two different departments published the checklists, there is nothing that can be done”.
The guy who did our title transfer was decent. He had one moment where he got his back up, but since we didn’t overtly point out that we had told him that he was doing it wrong, he relented and allowed us to pay him so we could have legal title to my dad’s car.
The thing that made me smile though was how it was like a bad version of Get Smart and the cone of silence. All the old people had no chance to hear/understand what was being said to them behind the Rona glass and masks the clerks were wearing. So you got to see a lot of old coots pulling down their masks to yell “What? What did you say? SPEAK UP!”.

Like I said the Front Door Lady was a power mad shrew who demanded that everyone tell her their proposed business and she’d make sure they had the right papers before even handing out a number to go wait for service.
So the line got long and snaked out into the hallway of the office building.
At one point, she stopped hassling the supplicant to yell at some guy in the hallway that he had to put on a mask. He told her he had to wear a mask in the county office, but he didn’t have to wear a mask in this office building. She told him that She Was The Law and he better put on a mask.
He told her that he’d put on a mask once he got into the office, but until then he was fine. And if she wanted to call the law on him, that was her prerogative but he was guessing they wouldn’t do anything because he was within his rights. And then he really slipped the dagger in and told her that the fastest way to force him to wear a mask was to give out those numbers faster so the line moved faster.
Luckily I had my mask on, so Front Desk Lady didn’t realize I was a fellow subversive with my big grin.
That was a good move on his part. Beating and kicking the bureaucratic harridan would have been more fun, but less effective in the long term…
Neighbor update: Getting reports from others in the neighborhood that the vulture is physically blocking access to the neighbor. The vulture’s husband is actually physically preventing anyone from seeing her while the vulture sits on her inside the house.
Man that sucks.
But not surprising. Our previous opinions of the vulture are being validated. They’re isolating her and going to rob her blind while they convince her that my wife and I were stealing from her.
My Mom’s husband did that. Tried to isolate her from her family including us. In the end, he wasn’t able to take all that he wanted because she had a well written will, but he still pulled some psychotically crazy shit after she died. Among many other things, our family heirloom recipe books and thousands of photos are lost to us forever.
I don’t understand people.
It’s impossible to understand people who have serious issues. We should have taken a strong stand with Mom when she first met this guy, but she was getting over our Dad’s death a couple of years before, and we second guessed our doubts, thinking we were measuring him against Dad, not some objective standard, and decided she was an adult and needed to be happy and to make her own decisions.
The problem was that she had spent the previous 25 years married to my Dad, who was trustworthy, honest, helpful, friendly, etc., and she was completely unprepared (as we were) for the kind of vultures that exist in the real world. When her husband began to try to play her against us and her sisters and the rest of my Dad’s family, we didn’t believe what we were seeing. He took advantage of her physical and mental decline that was brought on by cancer treatments–she only had enough energy to fight one enemy at the time, and he seemed to be on her side.
Fortunately for us, he never succeeded in turning her against us but he took it out on us once she was gone. I believe now that he planned to take everything from her once he realized she was sick, and she surprised him by living another 16 years, and he was bitter that his scheming didn’t ultimately pay off.
God, that’s rough.
I told my father that if mom died and he ordered a Russian bride, I’d take him out in the woods and off him myself. I’m not dealing with that.

Sometimes I think a civilization ending war wouldn’t be the worst of all things.
People: the range is so wide; from the horrific to the saintly. With most people a blend of both.
This type of thing is biblical in its nature. It’s been around forever.
There’s a reason the treatment of orphans and widows is specifically called out.
Call it in to Adult Protective Services (or whatever they call it wherever you are).
We’ve given the name and number of the social worker to the neighbor who reported it to us.
How awful to have to call in the government because there is no other option. Child protective services don’t seem to do much good. I can’t imagine the adult ones being better. In fact, I would expect worse since there will be stuff to steal.
Although I am highly suspicious of all government workers, this particular social worker appears to be rather sincere and earnest. She’s young enough to not be burned out yet either.
That said, I don’t know how effective she will be.
I also relayed this information to my attorney as he is speaking to the the neighbor’s attorney tomorrow. I suspect that the vulture is the one in primary contact with that attorney and it may be a useful data point. If for no other reason, he may use it to raise suspicion of the vulture with the other attorney.
That might work. When we explained what was going on to my Mom’s long time attorney (who was also representing her husband before things went south with us), he noped right the fuck out and told both us and the husband that he couldn’t represent either of us.
News reporting on wars in the last few decades has been woefully long on guerilla actions and short on capital ships aflame on the horizon, escorts sinking all around…
Well call me Bob, I opened the stock MS browser, logged in, and here I am, looks like a Chrome thing now, time to switch?
use Brave
My first thought, I’m OK tonight with Edge, but this has to change,
Brave is Chromium based, so it behaves like Chrome without all the Google tie-ins. It’s supposed to be privacy focused.
Just know it will break some sites, but gives you an idea of how much normal browsing is gathering from you.
I’ve had virtually no troubles with it. Give it a go, Yusef.
Very few and since Brave has been out, it seems the market responded a bit and adjusted their sites.
This is fun, I like to go to a website, say NY post, and load ad block just to watch how many ads they put up,
NYPost 61
Wash. Examiner 70+
One site had a long post and when I finished reading 778 ads were blocked, every time you scroll, new ads pop up, Sharks.
And what do you know, I opened chrome again while Edge was open, and here I am on Chrome, JHTFC! what an inconvenience!
I think Yusef was plugged back into the Matrix.
Better Google than Fauci,
Better God than this trope we are being tossed,
If it’s the Glib Matrix, I’m glad to be back, this is my sanity, ya nutjobs!
Just remember, if you ever need to get back to the Glib matrix, take the furry brown suppository.
So is Edge. It also runs Chrome plugins now.
I tried Brave but I don’t what it offers over Edge + uBlock Origin.
That’s the answer, I want a customizable ad blocker, Edge doesn’t look to bad, but ads make my epilepsy go into overdrive,
Not much beyond getting out of the msft ecosystem, if that’s important to you.
I’m a member of the Mstf sytem, tertiary, but G is who I want to escape, my problem is mostly laziness, every new device I buy, I log in to G and all my contacts, pics and docs are right there, plus all the additional log ins, bookmarks etc. Too damned easy.
I still rely on MS and feel quite comforable with it, they integrated some Android/G features which helps, I’m just to lazy to migrate away from G, I have tons of data that would need to be moved, and that’s just the business side. I am moving my photos offline, and that’s a chore in itself.
I did not know that.
My take is that Brave offers a specifically privacy-oriented product, and adds needed competition to the space.
Plus, I use Linux, so no Edge.
There is a Linux version.
Agree with trashy that if the MS ecosystem isn’t for you, look elsewhere. But I find it more polished than anything else out there now.
Yes. Let’s go Brave!

Just finished roasting up the pumpkin seeds. So good, so simple and much better than running for the bag of chips.
I miss homemade, them punkins were useful after I carved em up.
Yeah, the ones they sell in mass are terrible (but better than store bought pie) at making good pie. The ones we get out at the pumpkin patch are delightful, but we didn’t do that this year.
Living here, the whole place is a giant pumpkin patch, honestly, the cheapest I have ever seen, and some Huge ones.
The GF made pumpkin curry with pork last night for dinner, then took some of the rest of the pumpkin and made a puree for pumpkin pie tonight!
Made this yesterday:
https://www.theroastedroot.net/instant-pot-paleo-pumpkin-chili/
I’d probably be even better with free pumpkin puree (it’s delicious even w/ canned).
Oh that looks delicious.
easy, too
Well, maybe… I dunno….. sounds kinda strange.
I am totally sending that to her. Thanks!
I wonder if I could swap in the smoked pork and not overtake the pumpkin flavor.
The pumpkin ends up being fairly subtle – might be different with fresh puree.
What’s next? Pumpkin Spice beer? Or is it a latte? 😉
Pumpkin spiced Weeda?
Pumpkin ale is good, and it’s nothing new.

How do you like vaping versus ol’ fashioned smoking?
My buddies vape on the course and it gets you high but it lacks the Hit, as it were, I smoke flower myself.
OTOH I smoke cigars and vape Nicotine and Vaping Rocks! smooth and tasty, YMMV

is that the answer my friend?
Had a glass of champagne. The flight is delayed by 2 hours. Deplaned. Have to go back to the Admirals Club.
I would start looking for hotel rooms….
Or, as an alternative, get stinking drunk and pass out.
I have an apartment and a partner in LA. As well as 2 tickets for the same route on Wednesday. I’ll be fine.

Despite juvenile comments about the juvenile chant, there’s still many of us who do think it’s a serious business that there’s no longer civility or sense of respect in this country. For anyone. I refuse to get news from tik tok.
But I do get it from Twitter. Im not 12!
Fortified.
Scott O. Konopasek, the radical partisan director of elections for the most populated county in Virginia, recently told mainstream media outlets that the Virginia governor’s race may not be decided on election day.
As was the general norm prior to the COVID-19 pandemic which ushered in drastic changes to various state election laws nationwide ahead of the 2020 Presidential election, most Virginia Election Day ballots and early votes are set to be counted on the day of the election itself; Tuesday, November 2, 2021. Further, a new state law requires election officials to begin counting mail-in votes at least one week prior to Election Day.
However, due to a situation that for some reason allows for mail-in ballots to be counted so long as they are postmarked by the end of Election Day and are received by noon November 5, three whole days after the election, mainstream media reports and partisan election officials in Fairfax County are priming Virginia voters for a post-Election Day debacle in which the winner of the race may be unknowable until the following Friday.
Yesterday, Fox News reported that Konopasek said “it’s a possibility that we will we have to wait until Friday” to know the winner of the gubernatorial election, as Republican candidate Glenn Youngkin continues to surge in the polls amid a series of scandals plaguing Democrat Terry McAuliffe’s campaign.
I’m sure everything is on the up and up.

I went the other day. The double double was better than I remembered. The fries were still ass.
Since I grew up on them, I like them but must be the first thing eaten. Which now, no matter where I am at, fries are the first to be eaten.
Exactly, Small McDs fries, eaten in car while hot, same as in and out
I get why there is a disgust for them, but knowing I can see them slice up fresh potatoes as I order them, any day of the week from a fast food joint.
If they would fry them in tallow, I’d play. Otherwise, no way, José.
Eat em while they are hot, avoid the Soggy mess,
The wife and I cast our final VA ballots in 2020.
I remember watching as Trump was well ahead in VA on election night and all of the NOVA precincts were reporting 90-100% counted. Then counting was suddenly halted, the % counted in these counties magically dropped, and enough ballots were “found” to overcome the difference.
I did the math at like 10pm that night, and it may not have been literally impossible, but it was practically impossible for Biden to win. Then it all changed with the next update.
God that was a depressing night on Zoom.
Mrs. Dewey was measuring the drapes at the White House too. Totals can change depending on which precincts are still out as of a particular time.
Well of course. They need to know how many Dem votes to manufacture on Wednesday and Thursday.
They realized a sudden one-time night dump might actually get attention the 2nd time around. Better to now spread it out a few days.
Savor the fortification, eh? You know you like it, baby. Take it like a prison bitch.
This has never made any sense to me, If “they” can manufacture votes, why wait to see how many are needed, if they have all these harvested/fake/stolen ballots to use why wouldn’t they just use them from the get go?
Because then we wouldn’t have anything to pin our distrust on an obviously broken system with some serious flaws.
Because they don’t want a blowout. They want to maintain some semblance of “well, it was possible”
In 2020, I think they also underestimated what it would take to win.
How would you use them from the get go? You’re talking about storing potentially hundreds of thousands of pre-filled ballots somewhere and then transporting them to the counting sites. How does that work? Before counting starts? Right after? You’ve increased the chances of discovery much higher with this approach.
Instead, they (or the Dem ballot counters if you prefer specifics), just feed the same batches of 100% or 98% Democrat ballots in the machine several times. It only takes a few coordinated people to pull it off. Then someone can bring another few boxes found in a car trunk that are all marked Democrat. Run those stacks through 5 or 7 times. Much less labor intensive than prestaging several hundred thousands of ballots.
Of course, despite it being easier and less prone to detection, there is still a good deal of video out there showing them doing exactly this. Yet, even with this video, the election monitors being thrown out, and sworn testimony of thousands of poll workers, a good proportion of the population deny it’s happening.

I recall that I myself personally questioned the alleged libertarian turn of the BezosPost when Cytotoxic predicted this as well.
Specific predictions aside this does reveal a serious flaw in libertarianism: it was assumed that the Silicon Valley set would be inherently libertarian. We see a similar mindset with the free-traders (especially with China) and the urban libertarians as well: educated affluent urbanites and multinational corporations can not be totalitarian. The landowning aristocrats and the rural yokels were illiberals in the past and the affluent educated urbanites opposed them in the past so the affluent educated urbanites and multinational corporations must be libertarian today and forever.
Perhaps libertarians mistook the desire of the affluent educated urbanites not to be told what to do by the aristocrats and yokels with a desire for liberty?

Dr. Martin Kulldorff joins Brownstone Institute
The Brownstone Institute is pleased to announce that Dr. Martin Kulldorff is joining our institute as Senior Scientific Director. Having served as a professor at Harvard Medical School for the past ten years, he will guide the scientific activities of the Institute, particularly as it relates to the pandemic and the needed public health recovery and reform so that no country will repeat the terrible errors of 2020-21.
Professor Kulldorff’s position at Brownstone begins on November 1, 2021.
“We cannot overstate the excitement we feel about Kulldorff’s deep involvement with our work,” says Brownstone Institute founder and president Jeffrey Tucker. “He brings rigor, focus, and true brilliance, and his position portends great things for us as an institution.”
Love that site. Reading through the article on Dr. Brix…and she did the one thing we all here said any politician needed to do to get what they wanted from Trump.
Dems, Repubs, Lobbyists, all of them…easily could have gotten whatever they wanted if they just followed her.
I do find interesting that the elites hate Trump when they easily could have manipulated him into doing everything they wanted. Is it because he is a class traitor? Or vicious infighting among the elites?
Speaking of Jeff Tucker he is also realizing that his “cosmopolitan liberalism” is in serious trouble as the lockdowns , wokism and environmentalism are quite “cosmopolitan” and he is attacked for opposing them.
I mean there is a lengthy history of cosmopolitan illiberalism. Just look at the aristocracy for example. Classical liberals were often attacked for being middle-class provincial shopkeepers for example. Or epithets such isolationist or Little Englander?
Here is Ralph Raico pointing that late German Classical Liberalism Eugen Richter was indeed a “petty bourgeois” :
https://mises.org/library/eugen-richter-and-end-german-liberalism
For example Richter’s great opponents Bismarck and the Kaiser were far more cosmopolitan than he was.
