No dice, Rory.
Rory didn’t have enough left in the tank to hold off Cameron Smith. The Seattle Marinersa come into the All Star break on fire. The Trailblazers won something called a summer league title. I had no idea there was a summer league until recently, and it looks retarded. What’s the point in beating these guy’s bodies down even more than they are from a season-long grind? I don’t know what else there might be for sports. We’re deep into the dog days now. So I guess I’m moving on.
Crazy? Moi?
It’s never good when a “world leader” starts hitting the paranoia stage. Yet apparently here we are. But never fear! The US government probably has somebody over their tapped as the next one to take over and be the poster boy for our proxy war. They just need to see how he tests out with Hollywood and the other elites who will have to keep peddling this bullshit.
Here’s your good guy with a gun. Which is why this story will be buried as quickly as possible. Or waved off by saying “but it they were illegal, nobody would have had one”. You know, because prohibition always works.
You reap what you sow. So when you sow a bunch of dumb shit like letting boys use girls bathrooms and teaching elementary school kids that their skin color defines them, you’re gonna reap a bunch of shit from their angry moms.
In a sane world, this would cause a bit of reflection from these idiots. We are not, unfortunately, in a sane world. So she’ll probably end up having to move because her being vocal is gonna prevent them from creating a narrative.
Warm up the choppers.
This just keeps getting worse. We’re gonna need a lot of helicopters if we’re ever to have justice for those kids and teachers.
Get your daily dose of scare-mongering. It won’t be long before they claim it can live on voting booths but not the ballots, therefore we need mass mail-in voting again. And it’ll be reported as fact.
I can’t wait to see the movie. Although Clooney is getting a bit long in the tooth to pull it off.
This is a very bad sign. They’re all fat, lazy, and have no sense of pride. But mark my words, the south will keep pulling its weight…which will ensure the divorce goes smoothly. (Yes that’s probably wishful thinking, but let me have it for the time being.)
Here’s some 80’s rock you might enjoy. Those guys were pretty damn good in the day. And the video is great. Here’s a second one from them to enjoy.
Now get out there and get the week off to a great start, dear friends.
“You know, because prohibition always works.”
You mean laws aren’t magic?
The power of government compels you!
IT BUUUURRRNNNNSSS!
Quick! Hide the pea soup!
So who’s going to be the young priest?

“So when you sow a bunch of dumb shit like letting boys use girls bathrooms”
Although none seems to care about the reverse, even though the massive increase has been among FTM. Also, surprisingly few seem to be concerned about the massive increase of FTM among children.
GO PATRIARCHY!
I love how the patriarchy got women to actually undermine themselves with this idiocy… Genius.
It doesn’t come up (not a euphemism) when discussing bathrooms but sterilizing and chopping the tops off of girls has certainly been discussed.
Oh it’s been discussed, but there has been more loud screaming from feminists over trivial things such as the pink tax or manspreading.
First world problems amongst the urban college educated white woman class…. I have not met a dumber and more dangerous group of idiots than those…
During one panel, two sponsors of Florida’s Parental Rights in Education bill, which critics have dubbed the “Don’t Say Gay” law, described how activists can effectively lobby their state lawmakers for similar legislation: Bring hard evidence of the problem, target legislators with young children and propose a bill rather than just complain.
Seems self-evident, but apparently it’s not.
“We’re gonna need a lot of helicopters if we’re ever to have justice for those kids and teachers.”
To be fair, they are incompetent cowards not communists. Communist cops would have run in guns blazing.
cops would have run in guns blazing if it was a dog obedience school.
I’m willing to get those choppers going on double duty.
Zelensky, paragon of democratic leadership. I’m insanely suspicious of everything Ukraine. Putin can’t be trusted but neither can Biden or anyone else who had their hands in the Ukraine cookie jar. What a mess.
It would just be run of the mill government corruption if it wasn’t at Russias doorstep. Now with the invasion and prolonged combat it’s just suffering. What is the “good” outcome for Ukraine? Is there one?
What is the “good” outcome for Ukraine?
Give me a couple of billion dollars and I’ll produce a study on that.
A real coup (not our CIA) that kills or exiles Zelensky is the obvious first step. Then some good-faith negotiations.
“Then some good-faith negotiations.”
It takes two to have good faith negotiations.
Putin will negotiate in good faith, He’ll honestly explain that he gets everything he wants or the war continues.
It worked for Iran during the previous Democrat administration. Putin would be crazy not to try it, too.
Total surrender and prostration before the neo-Soviets isnt being done in good faith?
Those struggle sessions were good faith efforts to return the wayward to the one, true, holy path.
In the US, the people Zelensky fired would have been part of the Deep State Swamp, and people here would be cheering it. But because it’s Zelensky, it has to be spun as evil and proof that the Ukrainian people deserve to be destroyed.
I know everyone wants to see the US State Department world order take a hit, but the resulting one led by Russia and Red China is foing to be far worse.
I think this helps me. My antipathy for the federal government may be a big blind spot.
Your arguments attacking anyone who dares to question the Ukrainian narrative are even more offensively ridiculous than Swiss’s.
As usual, you missed it. I hate the passive Russia bolstering…try to find me saying something about how wonderful and democratic and such Ukraine is….I will wait. You will fail.
(When I was in Lviv in 2003, the city had four classes – highest was Mafioso, a tiny middle class of professionals, some working class folks and a mass of poors. I did not manage to find out the crossover between gov and mafia, but I was not there long enough to suss it out).
Ukraine is a dump, and not nice….but Russia IS FUCKING WAGING A WAR OF CONQUEST. How hard is it to actually admit, yes…Russia is a bad actor, no matter how crappy Ukraine is. If we have to have 40 million broken Ukrainian eggs, just to make one “ha, ha, up yours Victoria Nuland” soufflé, then you need to reexamine your priorities.
Put me in Swiss’s camp on this one.
Now, what is to be done? I see an array of bad choices, but the ones I think I can get behind involve lots of arms sales to Ukraine and others. Sucks, but the tanks are rolling across the bloodlands. Again. While I don’t expect Russia to cross the Polish border, who knows how many people in the Russian government are trying to re-establish the Soviet empire?
This is where I draw the distinction between “understandable” and “justified”.
And no, I don’t think a US invasion of Mexico if the CCP installed a CCP-friendly regime there would be justified.
And you’d be in a small minority of opinion and completely outside the DC consensus.
Ukraine is a dump, and not nice….but Russia IS FUCKING WAGING A WAR OF CONQUEST. How hard is it to actually admit, yes…Russia is a bad actor, no matter how crappy Ukraine is.
I don’t give a shit about what State learns or doesn’t learn from this. The facts that we were doing bioweapons research on Russia’s doorstep and that Ukraine has been the willing host to US political corruption are the flies in the ointment for me.
If China was building bioweapons and laundering CCP money in Juarez, it would really color my perception of a US invasion of Mexico. Not saying we would be right to invade, only that I’d have a hard time being sympathetic toward the Mexican government.
Same principle applies in Ukraine. I don’t think Russia had a legitimate reason for their invasion. But I don’t strongly hold that opinion. However, I feel no sympathy for the Ukrainian government.
The good thing is that I have no need to come to a strong opinion on this. I pray for a minimization of civilian casualties and a resolution that bolsters future peace. I don’t give half a shit about who was right or wrong. I have no control over the situation and the situation has no hold over me. It’s a humanitarian tragedy half a world away, nothing more, nothing less.
We fucked around in Ukraine and now they found out.
“I pray for a minimization of civilian casualties” – pretty much in Putin’s hands now, isn’t that?
Yep, and he should do everything, even the hard things that would compromise his objectives, to end the civilian harm and resolve the issues in a way that will be efficient, effective, and lasting. I don’t have enough info to pretend to know how that happens.
Powerful countries wage wars (or influence campaigns) to demonstrate their power, film at 11.
Ukraine barely exists as a country, and the govt of it is pretty much indistinguishable in style/substance from the Russian version – save of course how we’ve TWICE recently overthrown the persons elected to lead the country. But let’s not talk about our actions at all. Nope, just like if Putin or Xi managed to install a hostile regime in Mexico, we wouldn’t lift a finger over that. Nope, not even an angry word.
Angry words would be fine. An invasion would not.
We wouldn’t necessarily invade, but we certainly wouldn’t just accept such an arrangement. We’d restore a friendly govt, one way or another.
Ukraine is a dump, and not nice….but Russia IS FUCKING WAGING A WAR OF CONQUEST. How hard is it to actually admit, yes…Russia is a bad actor, no matter how crappy Ukraine is.
Why should we care if China invades North Korea? The video being released by independent journalists of what the Ukrainian government did to the civilian citizens in Mariupol and the Donetsk region is very disturbing. I’m not shedding any tears for the Ukrainian government.
Bad actor invades another bad actor supported by a third bad actor. Let the first two hash it out without the involvement of the third.
And, we can certainly feel badly for the poor souls caught between the hammer and the anvil – that doesn’t change the iron reality of what assholes with power do, routinely.
“Why should we care if China invades North Korea?” – If they went in and just started killing the ordinary people there and destroying their rather paltry means of living….yeah, that would be evil. I would hope nobody would have trouble calling that out. I am not sure why people seem to think anyone pointing out bad acts is somehow calling for all sorts of intervention? I’ve been in three “interventions” and didn’t care for any of them.
I don’t care about the Uke’s gov… I don’t care for anyone’s gov.
One side is killing innocent people and destroying their homes and livelihoods. Who is that?
And I say you want our help – “It’s cash only, and not US taxpayer cash. Thank you, come again.”
It’s cash only, and not US taxpayer cash.
Ironically enough, that’s what we did to the Brits in the run-up to WWII.
One side is killing innocent people and destroying their homes and livelihoods. Who is that?
That would be Ukraine who has been deliberately targeting their own civilians.
Russia has certainly been killing civilians, but I’ve seen no evidence yet that they are deliberately striking civilian areas that have no associated military targets. That stands in sharp contrast to Ukraine’s actions.
Russia IS FUCKING WAGING A WAR OF CONQUEST.
Meh.
If in 1985 Canada was applying for membership in the Warsaw Pact and the Soviet, Czechoslovak and East German military advisors were already all over the country training the Canadian military, the US tanks would start rolling in the direction of Toronto and Calgary in no time. The US feels entitled to do anything it wants in its sphere of influence. Check how the invasion of Grenada was justified around the same time.
Well said Ted’s.
Everyone here would be cheering if Biden fired 650 federal swamp creatures.
Everyone here would be cheering if Biden charge Swalwell or Milley with treason for aiding China.
I think most everyone here would be concerned if Biden charged 650 federal swamp creatures with treason against his government. And these hundreds of swamp creatures belonged to opposition parties.
Russia may be a bad actor but that doesn’t make Ukraine a good actor.
No, dude. It’s binary.
Pick a side.
Fucking Manicheans.
That’s a fair point. But I don’t think Russia has plans to rule over me. China, I’m not so sure.
Zelensky and his band of rebels destroy the Putin super-weapon, there’s a montage of celebrations around the world – Paris, Rome, Cairo, Rio, Times Square, Beijing (ok not Bejing) – then Zelensky gets a Nobel Prize and appearances on all the talk show circuits for the next year.
Until Ukraine II, The Russians Strike Back.
Do the Russians have AT-ATs, and a cool John Williams sound track?!!!
“Researchers studied two animal coronoviruses’ ability to survive on various meats, including salmon, pork, chicken and beef during both refrigeration and freezing for one month, according to the data published by the American Society for Microbiology’s journal Applied and Environmental Microbiology. ”
So don’t eat those raw? Pretty sure cooking would “kill” them.
Not the way some Glibs “cook” beef.
You taking a shot at Pie again for seeing humans as his blood stock cattle?
He objects to proper steak cooking.
Medium rare.
Well, he’s already wrong on the doneness chart. It is both possible and easy to have a well done steak that is not dry. And he’s left out all the degrees of doneness where the translucency is gone but the pink isn’t. At the bare minimum to be edible, the translucency needs to be gone.
You being a well-done guy is not surprising at all.
Euphemism?
steak tartare?
Also known as heaven.
Wake me when coronaviruses start infecting people through the digestive tract.
Pretty sure they can infect the mouth and oropharynx, or sore throats wouldn’t be a thing.
If fomites aren’t a vector for COVID, I doubt food transmission is either. To date, aerosols have been the primary mode of transmission and that includes shit plumes from toilet flushes.
Are we sure surface formites aren’t a vector?
Anyway, I doubt food transmission is a significant factor, unless some waiter sneezes on your food.
There have been several papers purporting that fomites are a transmission vector, but all have been modelled conclusions based on large concentrated depositions of virus that do not occur in real life scenarios.
Regardless, the evidence we do have points to aerosols as the major vector of concern and fomites as being a very distant second or third, if at all.
I’m guessing the virus wouldn’t do too well in the stomach acid either. I suppose if you handled coronavirus raw meat and then shoved your fingers up your nose it might transfer.
But the real question is, who cares?
My guess is that the common cold virus lurks here and there too but we’ve never bothered looking for it because there wasn’t grant money for it.
I just want to know when Ozy started writing for Red State. (That link is probably nothing new to everyone, but there were a few things called flat out I found interesting enough to mention here… as infuriating as it all is..).
Thanks for the link. And wow! Birx wrote a fucking book admitting to crimes, crimes that in my mind should lead to murder and other charges.
I’m sure you meant “lead to charges for murder and other crimes,” or better “lead to criminal charges.”
Nah it reads fine the way it is
No, she was just busy saving the world.
That shocked me as well – I think it only became widely-known a couple days ago.
She was the main instigator, more so even than Fauci, IIRC.
Not sure why this isn’t bombshell news?
I think it’s not bombshell news because Birx isn’t a household name like Fauci. She didn’t run out in front of the camera like Fauci did (remember when he told the kids he had vaccinated Santa Claus? Barf.)
But yeah, from what I read in deeper dives, Birx was the instigator. It’s just that most Americans didn’t have the time to do a deep dive, and they’ve never heard of her.
Ugly old Geraldine Page-lookin’ cow.🧣
There are no people more fucking dangerous than those that think they are on a holy noble cause, because they will always find a way to justify whatever evil they need to do to get their noble end goal…
That’s how you get mountains of bodies – about 120 million or so – and misery for 3 billion people under the boot of an outright evil ideology, followed by a large swath of pro collectivism crusading people still telling you in earnest that we just have not done it right yet (not the right angels in charge, or the system was not done right)…
Pure unadulterated evil.
Critics accuse Moms for Liberty — which is registered as a social welfare nonprofit organization and so does not have to disclose its donors — of sowing division in communities, rolling back progress on issues of diversity and inclusion, and scaring educators out of the profession.
Activists with the group have offered a $500 bounty for information on teachers using critical race theory, the academic study of how racism is perpetuated by laws and institutions, in their classes. They organized protests against Covid mitigation protocols, referring to one school’s mask policies as “segregation.” And they demanded schools pull books about Ruby Bridges and Martin Luther King Jr., saying the depictions of racism were too disturbing for young children.
“They’ve turned our schools into political battlegrounds,” said Angela Wynn, a Sarasota, Florida, parent who co-founded Support Our Schools, an activist group aiming to counter organizations like Moms for Liberty.
Not fair. The school system is supposed to be a wholly owned subsidiary of the Democratic Party.
I strongly suspect their response would be: “What you call progress, I call tyranny and madness” or “Yes, that’s rather the point.”
And yeah — “Waaahhh! We’re supposed to be able to indoctrinate and recruit unopposed! That’s what my Education school told me!”
No wonder that these top people feel they need a Ministry of Misinformation to make sure the fucking unwashed masses just let them indoctrinate their kids into evil idiocy…
I didn’t need that image on the home page. Yeesh.
Just to make you appreciate the Carls Jr. gif et alia more when they come up…
#metoo
It snot what you think it is
Arabella Foss-Yarbrough.
Respect.
Nope, then it would have been black on black crime, and verboten to mention.
BLM is about grifting. I bet you this woman that was fucked over by their latest hero will soon be canceled and labeled the latest black face of white supremacy for not letting a movement driven by a bunch of white suburban bored hags act out.
“Researchers studied two animal coronoviruses’ ability to survive on various meats, including salmon, pork, chicken and beef during both refrigeration and freezing for one month, according to the data published by the American Society for Microbiology’s journal Applied and Environmental Microbiology.”
Imho, a return to federalism is way more likely than a national divorce, just due to geography, never mind Civil War 2.0
Huh. So you’re reading the animal entrails to come to that conclusion?
You need more coffee.
Last time I drank coffee, it felt like my heart was going to explode.
That is well above my caffiene threshold.
Learning to smoke was tough too but many of us were able to overcome the body’s initial rejection. Then we could be cool like the big guys.
Indeed. One must suffer for fashion.
That would require both sides be willing to allow what they see as the intolerable stupidity of their opponents to exist just outside an imaginary demarcation. We’re Americans -we’re not going to stand for people not doing what we want.
Again, imho, the true “both sides” isn’t red vs. blue, it’s haves vs. have-nots. The latter, although having less money and power, are also an overwhelming majority. While that majority does have a red/blue divide at it’s edges, most of them are normies who don’t care whether other people do what they want. Go back ten years there was Occupy Wall Street and the Tea Party. While they disagreed on the solution, they agreed on the problem — they were both against the elites.
normies who don’t care whether other people do what they want
Hey buddy…
You say that like it’s a bad thing.
Who’s supposed to put the boot to the uppity peasants and spread the new ideology?!
Who the fuck would want to join an organization hell bent on destroying capable people and promoting evil idiotic leftism other than the morons?
I have a son who is extremely fit, an amateur kick-boxer, and a very good shooter. He could also really use some discipline and direction.
Recruiters would be drooling over him and if he went active duty, they’d probably want him on a track for a Ranger or Recon slot.
But he won’t be joining Joe Biden’s woke army and he won’t be getting any experimental vaccines or boosters. If he did join, he’d probably get kicked out for refusing to stop misgendering somebody during boot camp.
If my kid told me they where thinking of joining the military today, I would discourage them from doing so. And that’s coming from someone that comes from a family that took that very seriously. You would be doing anyone you encourage to join today a disservice with the current leadership that actually goes along with the idiocy of declaring climate change and white supremacy as America’s top threats. Neither is anything of serious note. The corruption of all bureaucracies in the US government by evil leftists and their destructive beliefs that punish success and reward mediocrity and random physical traits is the greatest threat to the republic at this time.
I would absolutely try to talk my kids from joining up today.
When I joined up at 19 I was adrift and not sure what to do. I thought that the Marines would be a good experience. I was right. Did lots of good for me, but then I wasn’t getting sent to some shithole to get sniped at. Our mission back then was to confront the Red Army.
And at least do it in a way where we might actually have a chance to deter or go out in a blaze of glory…
Today it is about losing even before there is any chance of a fight…
Me too, Jimbo, I was just 30 years ahead of you and times and the economy were different as well. I wouldn’t/couldn’t do it even if I thought about it. I never encouraged my kids, though my daughter could have used the experience. I thought AF for her and maybe she’d learn some transferable skills.
I’m a bit of a sucker for patriotism and service, even if I think our military should be pared way back. I’d like to believe if we were ever attacked a lot of people would jump at the chance to fight our attacker. I don’t think this generation would answer the call, which is why I see this as a bit of a problem.
At this point, I view the standing military as a blank check for the McCains of the world. Anything that denies them the capability to carry out their warmongering fantasies is a good thing.
They really didn’t think the military’s leftward lurch and embrace of wokeusm would have any effect on the recruitment of reliable Southern boys.
That’s how out of touch they are.
What else would they do? Go back to their turnip farms?
At this point there is no way I would recommend to somebody to join the military, or even the Space Force.
The CCP and RF militaries are not 10 feet tall supersoldiers, but both of those organizations will prepare to fight, and fight to win. The US military? Nope but the diversity, inclusion and equity (DIE) training will probably work.
to join the military, or even the Space Force
genuine LOL
My old army buddies and I have been discussing the recruiting problems for years. It isn’t new but it seems to be a lot worse. I’m concerned that the South will stop covering up for us Northern fellers. Even back in my days it was rare to meet a ‘cruit from the North. After the draft ended there were none. (Not a defense of the draft).
Damn Americans won’t properly support the warfare state – just think they can let their money do all the dirty work. You’re absolutely right about the shrinking of the recruiting pool and how that allowed most of Congress to treat it as a foreign legion rather than their own sons/daughters.
They’ll just need to find some modern Hessians or something.
I’ve noticed the cycle of civilizations appears to go through stages of soldiery in the army – Militia/Citizen-soldiers; Standing Professional army; Foregin mercenaries; Collapse.
When I went off to Marine boot camp in the late 80’s, there was a pretty good sized group of us northerners I shipped with. Lots of guys from Massachusetts and Connecticut, and a few from Maine. Most were bored middle-class kids looking for adventure. When we arrived we got split into 2 platoons that mixed in with the southern guys. Probably more reservists and / or guys who wanted combat slots among the northerners. The southerners were more likely to be the career types or looking for an MOS that can translate to a civilian job.
I imagine it’s not like that anymore.
Am I the only one impressed by the speed at which the Robb elementary report was generated and released? Especially since the TX legislature is just a part-time debauchery club.
“So much video, so little time”
The 1/6 report won’t be released until October at the earliest, and can you imagine how long it would take to release a report if a mass shooting happened in say, Nevada?
Thankfully that hasn’t happened. /NPC
Maybe being part-time focused their minds, unlike *cough*Congress*cough*.
Knowing that the VIP section of The Yellow Rose will be filled up if you take too long is a good motivator.
In interviews, attendees shared similar stories of how they joined Moms for Liberty: They had an issue with something that happened at their child’s school, or they were upset over mask requirements or Covid-related school closures, and they began speaking at school board meetings. They connected with other parents in person and on Facebook. They learned about Moms for Liberty online and created a chapter in their county.
Malcontents and troublemakers trying to weaponize DEMOCRACY! What is this country coming to?
Meanwhile, the Texas House investigative committee released a preliminary report Sunday revealing officials found ‘multiple systemic failures’ and poor leadership by law enforcement the day of the shooting.
All the cops made it home that night. That’s all that matters — to them. Well, that, and their public image of brave, selfless servants keeping the citizenry safe from lawless mayhem.
The radio said that the gunman chose his old 4th grade classroom where he was bullied. I had a shitty 4th grade, with a teacher that joined in with the bullying so she could be one of the cool kids, but JFC I got over it.
I couldn’t even tell you who my fourth grade teacher was, nor who else was in the class.
I at least recall my teachers didn’t bother bullying students. They just taught to the test and made sure the inmates didn’t get out of hand.
I’m sure the shittiness is why I can remember it unlike say 3rd and pretty much all of middle school.
Dude! That sucks.
I didn’t have many crummy teachers, and none before secondary education, when I had half a dozen others to keep my mind off it. Sounds pretty traumatic, Miss Landers giving you aggro all day.
I remember all my grade school teachers by name and what they looked like. Grade school for me was a great experience, learning stuff and being able to excel. I was retarded socially but learning to read was wonderful.
I think you went to school in a better era, perhaps.
I dismissed fourth grade as well. My homeroom teacher was a big time black nationalist.
She seriously told me it was racist the black pieces go second in chess.
Meanwhile, over in Indiana…
It’s worth pointing out that none of the usual anti-gun panic tropes happened here. The armed bystander didn’t mow down a bunch of innocent victims. The cops didn’t roll up guns blazing and snuff him. And the armed bystander reacted quickly and decisively enough that this won’t even go into the books as a mass shooting.
Imagine that.
That “civilian” needed more training. He didn’t even barricade himself behind some food counter while waiting for more cops to show up. And did he even sanitize his hands before he came up with a plan to take the shooter out?
I’m sure their founders say it exactly that way.
I was going to comment on that sentence. It’s what the founders say after the reporter runs what they actually said through an English to Woke translator.

That article on Birx is predictably enraging.
The bureaucracy just fucking ignores political control at this point when it isn’t outright defying it. For all the screaming about DEMOCRACY that the Left engages in, they obviously don’t believe in it or they would be hanging these totalitarians from lampposts.
Democracy just validates what the expert class has decided. /idiots-blathering-on-about-democracy
I’m with you Scruffy. It seems like the beast has forgotten that it is supposed to listen to the politicians we elected.
Of course, the Ukraine Impeachment was all because some fucking idiot light colonel was outraged that Trump wasn’t following the playbook that he and State had come up with. How dare he!
Fortunately, this strategic sleight-of-hand worked. That they never seemed to catch this subterfuge left me to conclude that, either they read the finished reports too quickly or they neglected to do the word search that would have revealed the language to which they objected.
As somebody who reviews written work product on a daily basis, I can say this is exactly what happened. I give feedback to my drafter, and my expectation is that they take and apply the feedback. My level of re-review hinges on their competence level. Often, my most trusted drafters get a “fix these things and file. I don’t need to see it again.” Clearly there was some misplaced trust in the good faith of bureaucrat Birx.
To be clear, it would take exactly one incident of a writer blatantly undoing my revisions for them to be, at bare minimum, pulled from working on my stuff.
Being a bureaucrat means burying the inconvenient shit so the leadership can ignore it. Leadership prefers to not have to you know, lead.
The new conflicts enveloping schools have caught many school administrators unprepared. They’re more accustomed to debates about the length of the school day and teachers union contracts, not political controversies that go viral, said Jonathan Collins, a Brown University public affairs professor who is writing a book about school board politics.
Collins said there hasn’t been this much conflict affecting school districts since racial desegregation. He fears one outcome of the increased politicization of school boards will be entrenched polarization, leading to inaction on new hires and student achievement goals because no one will work across ideological lines.
“Everything we’re seeing in terms of the playbook that is being written is a pathway to turning school districts into Congress,” Collins said.
It would never occur to this cretinous busybody that this “polarization” which horrifies him so is a direct result of political organizations great and small attempting to inject themselves into the minutiae of daily life and dictate behavior they have no business involving themselves in.

Mammary Monday.
But what was their angle in doing it, Q?
A cuteness?
Pythagoras was framed!
That’s quite a hypotenuse you have there. Hopefully you have some data to back it up.
Of course he does. Don’t be obtuse.
This is not the right angle to take.
Swiss will be along shortly to square this circle.
Appears he went off on a tangent.
“The department said there were hundreds of hours of footage from more than 50 officers who responded to the scene.”
Did you bring enough guys?

Outright lies. Ectopic pregnancies have always been excluded from abortion laws.
If they are not allowed to use absolutely rare and edge cases to justify killing kids up to the 97th trimester, they would have nothing….
The baby killing movement is not giving team blue a bump right now precisely because so many people that used to support them have realized these ghouls that pretend to care about women’s health really just want the ability to kill kids whenever they feel like it. It’s almost as if their priority is to flaunt their disregard for consequences to actions…
Because Ectopic pregnancies are by definition non-viable, as they will kill both mother and child long before viability unless the fetus is removed. It’s a tragedy much like a miscarriage, and not anywhere near the same boat as killing an otherwise viable child for convenience sake.
“Ectopic pregnancies have always been excluded from abortion laws.”
Yet, they keep bringing it up.
Lying in a good cause isn’t wrong you know. /progs, mostly
Did you know 100% of 10 year old girls can get pregnant?
TRANS DENIER!
And 10 year old boys.
My wife fell for this lie. Also, the 10 year old story.
Turns out the 10yo wasn’t a lie, just horrible.
The lie was that the abortion would have been illegal in Ohio, as far as I can tell.
No, the lie was that this was just about abortion needing to be available without restrictions, as the rape they didn’t provide details on had been done by an illegal alien who was wanted by the authorities. That last part of the story was gonna hurt the people that supported criminal illegals (and for that matter legal ones too) running scot free after a chain of crimes.
In all likelihood, the mother of the girl is also an illegal (interviewed by Telemundo in spanish).
That’s what I meant, thanks Count.
This story would have had a happy ending if the perps all had left in bodybags.
Germany’s gas crisis generates nuclear dilemma for ruling Greens
These people are really dumb. Instead of asking if they should shut down their last plants, they ought to look into restarting the ones already shuttered.
Was Greta available for comment?
I am happy stupid people that put these idiots in power will now face real world consequences for their mistakes. people only learn when mistakes have serious associated penalties & costs, and these idiots need a lesson about real world consequences of stupidity so they can green grandstand.
“The European Union will next week publish recommendations on how countries can cut gas demand to prepare for winter.”
Publishing recommendations is easy, getting people willing to implement them will be a problem though.
I knew the Greens were in the coalition – but are they actually the ruling party?

Also a good reminder that Joe Biden was always a dimwit, but he used to be able to talk all day while clearly and concisely laying out his dumb ideas.
I remind every fucking leftard that tells me Joe is a was/good candidate, that for 50 years the team blue people, and especially their propagandists in what passed for the media, made fun of this guy and considered him a complete loser. Then they statist machine needed some asshat they could control, a douchebag tat was bought & paid for, and preferably mentally not there, and he finally qualified.
The road collapsed to meet him.
I’m just assuming that all the places that did vote-by-mail last year are going to do so forever unless some judge puts a stop to it.

I bet I am late to the party on the discussions about the groomers taking action to protect themselves from being called what they are, but this action is evidence these people know what they are doing is evil and child sexual abuse.

Yeah, calling out people who sexualize first graders is just like the Holocaust.

“Reddit has banned the anti-LGBTQ+ slur “groomer” under its hate speech policy, as well as any other reference to LGBTQ+ people as “paedophiles”.
The vile slur, which conflates LGBTQ+ identities with paedophilia, has been increasing in use online, and has now been banned by Reddit as hate speech.”
No idea how it’s an anti-LGBTQ+ slur, but there are people trying to add a “P” to LGBT.
That would seem to be an admission that LGBTQWERTY people are all groomers.
So, they’re letting the pedos hide behind the rainbow activists.
I’m afraid my policy is to shoot the hostages too. Sorry rainbow activists.
Seems like there are some willing participants on the inside as well.
Banning discussion means it’s absolutely happening imo.
NPR explains it
When an 18-year-old gunman targeted an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, “systemic failures and egregiously poor decision making” on behalf of law enforcement and school officials failed to stop the shooter from killing 19 students and two teachers, a new investigative report found.
Ass covering, right out of the gate. Those egregiously poor decisions weren’t made “on behalf of” school administrators and cops. They were made BY school administrators and cops.
First off – what fucking stupidity is it in Texas that allows school districts to have their own law enforcement department?
The same one that has 254 counties in the state, each with their own sheriffs department?
254? Sounds like they’re running on an older version that can’t handle over 255 counties.
Deaf Smith is my fave.
Georgia is 2nd to Texas with 159 counties. Both have a problem, but I think Georgia’s is worse.
Kentucky has 120, so its pretty bad off too.
https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f6/Map_of_USA_with_county_outlines.png
That’s a lot of Counts.
Iowa has 99 counties. When the counties were formed, the goal was that any resident of the county could ride a horse to the court house or county offices; conduct official business; and then ride home in the same day.
Consolidation has been talked about, but that would eliminate safe, cushy government jobs.
Also the neat rectangles.
Have you been out west? There’s a lot of flat nothing in a lot of these areas, with no significant landmarks. It’s easier to just grid it out than to make fancy shapes on the map.
Either that or a purposely designed system.
Purposely designed because they took one look at the wide open spaces and went “Sheet”
This is just… sad.

As police fumbled without clear leadership or organization, school staff had grown less vigilant, straying from locked door policies and active shooter procedures.
“There were multiple systemic failures,” Rep. Dustin Burrows, a Republican member of the investigative committee, said in summarizing its findings at a press conference on Sunday, hours after the report’s release.
He warned that those breakdowns in safety aren’t just a problem that exists in Uvalde, adding, “some of the same systems that we found here that failed that day are across the entire state and country.”
We have to keep our hysterical paranoia dialed up to eleven!
NO FUCKING WAY!
They finally figured out how to make Daszak the fall guy?
And then nothing else happened.
No shit, considering this was NEWS about 8 months ago.
Arredondo testified that his assessment of the situation was to prevent the shooter from moving to other classrooms.
“[T]o me … once he’s … in a room, you know, to me, he’s barricaded in a room,” he said. “Our thought was, ‘If he comes out, you know, you eliminate the threat,’ correct? And just the thought of other children being in other classrooms, my thought was, ‘We can’t let him come back out. If he comes back out, we take him out, or we eliminate the threat. Let’s get these children out.”
Did they try calling, “Come out, come out, wherever you are!”?
That assessment goes against the last twenty years of research on active killers. Have you never taken this training, Captain? Or did you simply choose to disregard it?
Well, treating it as a barricaded hostage situation allowed him to stay tucked up nice and safe and not take any risks.
Maybe fake him out with an ‘olly olly oxen free’?
Why the hell are there still children in other classrooms at that point? If the gunman was isolated in a single room by law enforcement that would be a good time to, you know, evacuate the rest of the building.
Sounds like a bullshit excuse to me.

The plane was Ukranian, the weapons Serbian. How much have we sent Serbia recently?
Was the pilot vaxed?
Clearly, this is what happens when the wrong pronouns are used.
Although law enforcement made multiple missteps that disregarded active shooter training, the report says, it’s not clear that a quicker response from officers once they were on the scene could have prevented the loss of some lives.
Some, all… there’s no reason to make a distinction.
Think of the police lives which were saved!

I’m not a big fan of Zelensky but I don’t blame him for being extremely paranoid. I’m sure the Russians would love to fire a missle up his ass if they could get real time data on his location.
I’m betting the Russians have been split on the issue of going after political leadership in Ukraine since they initially wanted to negotiate.
However, if Ukraine uses the HIMARS systems that we “sold” them against targets in Crimea, Moscow will probably go hard for Zelensky et al. Medvedev has openly said as much.
Of course, State is encouraging Ukraine to do exactly that.

Yesterday I went to the Renaissance Fair for the first time. I kept thinking of that “Stuff white people do” web site. But I spent the money to rent a scooter, which I was immediately thankful for, and we had a pretty good time.
Did they at least vismod the scooter to look like something that would have been in use at the time?
A panequin and slaves?
there were no slaves in the Renaissance slavery was invented in 1619
I had to rent the scooter from around home, because they don’t have them at the fair. I have seen photos of people making their scooters look like a horse with a lance, but this was my first time so I was just feeing out the situation.
I see.
Anyway, I’m glad you enjoyed the fair.

Gotcha!
In the wake of school shootings in Texas and Florida in 2018, many Republican leaders, including Abbott, enthusiastically endorsed efforts to expand school-based social emotional learning programs, which they viewed as a way to prevent mass shootings without taking action on gun reform. Pointing to reams of academic studies, advocates say these teaching and disciplinary approaches help students cope with adversity while steering them away from violence.
Since last year, however, those educational concepts have been swept up in a movement to rid schools of initiatives meant to address racism and inequity — a conservative backlash that experts say is now threatening the very programs that Republicans once presented as a solution to school violence.
Far-right groups and grassroots parents have attacked social emotional learning — and related practices such as restorative discipline, which focuses on character development rather than punishment alone — as a “Trojan horse” for critical race theory, an academic study of racism that some on the right have used to label lessons on racism and gender that they find objectionable.
Conservative activists have seized on the fact that some social emotional learning programs encourage children to celebrate diversity, sometimes introducing students to conversations about race, gender and sexuality. And opponents take issue with one of the underlying goals of such initiatives: to reduce racial disparities in school disciplinary outcomes.
Right. What if, instead of “celebrating” diversity, we teach kids to just not give a shit, and to leave other people alone, in the expectation they will reciprocate?
…even if they must ignore that in some locations, some races may earn disciplinary measures at a disproportionate rate.
to just not give a shit, and to leave other people alone
What crazy white supremacist patriarchal bullshit is that?
“gun reform”
Gosh, why hasn’t anyone tried that yet??
“Celebrating” diversity, except if you’re a white male, in which case you are the source of all that is bad and you need to repent. But a majority of mass (as in, school and mall) shooters are younger white males. Maybe we need to think about this more.
Clearly the answer is more demonization and ostracism of white males.
/progic
*insert facepalm gif*
“It’s sort of ironic that these groups are throwing social emotional learning under the bus when these are the very things that our kids need now, and they need them now more than ever before,” said Donna Lord Black, who leads the Social Emotional Learning Alliance for Texas, a nonpartisan group that advocates for these programs in schools.
We gave it a completely innocuous name. We never expected to be forced to let people scrutinize it. It’s for the children. Now stop asking questions.
What’s the point in beating these guy’s bodies down even more than they are from a season-long grind
they are not. Summer league is for rookies and non nba players who want a shot. No veterans play in summer league
Conservative opponents of social emotional learning say those ideas sound good on paper, but they worry that applying these approaches to discipline means that schools will stop holding students accountable when they misbehave. Adding fuel to those fears: School districts often struggle to articulate exactly how these academic philosophies work in practice.
Quibblers. Nitpickers. Trust the Educrats. They have credentials and diplomas. Just like the scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz.
School districts often struggle to articulate exactly how these academic philosophies work in practice.
Stand back – we’re doing SCIENCE here!
those ideas sound good on paper – do they though?
They give the advocates a good feeling.
like critical thinking I cannot see of a clear and measurable way to teach such things.
And why do you think that is?
how do you measure outcomes objectively?
Hawt bitchez always win?
I don’t know. How would you approach the problem?
I would not. I would scrap the whole thing.
And why is that?
because there is no need for any of it in the monocle mines
I would scrap the whole thing.
#metoo.
Because they can’t explain how they work in practice. Give me the curriculum, and I’m sure I could come up with even more objections. Schools are there to teach academic subjects, not program the students down to the cellular level.

Across cultures, women tend to marry older men. Is this a product of evolved mate preferences? Or is it an instance of sexual conflict, with one party benefitting at a cost to the other?
https://twitter.com/SteveStuWill/status/1548762221316304896
It’s innate, and mutually beneficial.
Older men provide more material benefits and security because they had more time to accumulate both. Younger women are a nicer status symbol…
More years for child bearing would put some serious evolutionary pressure on males to pick younger mates. In particular if it will be a lifetime thing.
New broom sweeps clean
The new district attorney in San Francisco is cleaning house after the ouster of her embattled progressive predecessor Chesa Boudin, firing at least 15 employees from the prosecutor’s office.
San Francisco District Attorney Brooke Jenkins, whom Mayor London Breed swore in eight days prior, issued a statement Friday saying she made “difficult, but important changes to my management team and staff that will help advance my vision to restore a sense of safety in San Francisco by holding serious and repeat offenders accountable and implementing smart criminal justice reforms.”
“I promised the public that I would restore accountability and consequences to the criminal justice system while advancing smart reforms responsibly,” Jenkins said in the statement, reported by SF Gate. “My new management team, which will include the addition of three women of color, with decades of prosecutorial experience at the highest levels, will help our office deliver on that promise. I have full faith and confidence that these women will promote and protect public safety while delivering justice in all of its various forms.”
Among those on Jenkins’ chopping block was Managing Attorney Arcelia Hurtado, who served as the district attorney’s representative on the city’s Innocence Commission, which Boudin established in 2020 to investigate potential wrongful convictions in San Francisco. Hurtado took to Twitter to express her frustration after losing her job.
Oh, no. Right wing authoritarianism has taken hold in San Francisco.
And-
“Hurtado took to Twitter to express her frustration after losing her job.”
Of course she did.
Any time leftists twits don’t get whatever crazy shit they want, democracy dies!
I have no problems investigating wrongful convictions, but they need to get their arms around wrongful non-prosecutions as well.

Re: British Open. It appears that without the high winds, St. Andrews is no more challenging than those second or third tier courses the PGA tournaments use during dog days.
Any majors where the winning score is -20, then the course is not being set up right and isn’t challenging enough for today’s players with today’s equipment.
I only watched yesterday and am only a casual fan, but it appeared to be plenty challenging for a lot of dudes. You may be right, though. It’s still a really cool place and I don’t mind watching those guys tear it up.
If it’s not challenging enough, they can always throw in another windmill on the green, and possibly a motorized dog that sits down on the hole at random moments.
Hrmm… I was thinking of mortar fire and random snipers. You know, the Donbas Open instead.
They have had irrigation there for 20 years. They needed to use it to soften the fairways to take away the 150 yard rolls and to grow up the rough to the point the players were penalized rather than them just having a decent lie in wispy grass that’s 3-4″ tall.
So much could have been done to make that course challenging but the purists won out and it turned into a pitch and putt.
Yeah, I brought back some grass seeds I plucked from behind the 18th green in 2018 and am growing them in a pot in the yard. That stuff gets a good two feet high before I trim it back.

Well, before we jump to conclusions, let’s see what the split is among scientists and engineers. I don’t know how to find that, but I’d expect that if you look at the nuclear opinion gap between men and women among engineers is much smaller than among the general public.
Meant more as snark than anything else. Dumb is hardly confined to a single gender and nuclear ignorance is dumb squared.
Yup.
Silly bitches be always negating my vote.
I preach the gospel of nuclear energy all the time, but lots of soccer moms just hear “nuclear” and get all emotional Jane Fonda about it.
What’s the gender gap on rolling blackouts and tripling your electricity bill?
Men hardest hit because we like it cooler than women?
“It’s not the heat, it’s the humidity”
Hey ladies, do you like air conditioning in the summer and heat in the winter?
I like to share this article with my pearl-clutching female acquaintances who think it’s better to destroy thousands of acres of wild land for solar farms than to install a high capacity Nuke plant.

It’s a government article, so they are more likely to trust it. (Sugar daddy government, ya know.)

The best application for solar farms (IMO) would be to install them above parking lots as shade canopies (and then I guess some energy). Of course that’s not as cheap as just laying them on the ground.
I fell down a shallow Wikipedia hole and ended up reading about The Octagon on Roosevelt Island, when I found this gem:
This kind of statement (in bold) really churns my butter. Exactly what is the point of saying “combustion-free?” I strongly suspect it is a signaling method to people who “know” that anything that uses combustion is dirty and old fashioned and will kill the planet.
The obvious retort to this, for anyone who knows anything about chemistry and thermodynamics, is “so what? the products of reaction are still water vapor and carbon dioxide.” Yes, it may be more efficient in its conversion and capture of energy from the reaction, but it’s not fundamentally different in the products. Another way of writing it would be to say that it converts natural gas to water and carbon dioxide with more efficiency, but mentioning CO2 in this context is only to be done to show an improvement.
The author estimates that a net CO2 reduction of 790 metric tons per year is expected annually from this process. While that’s not nothing, it really isn’t all that much.
If it results in a cheaper total cost of ownership and a lower overhead, I’m happy to use a more controlled process to extract the energy. I do not like the vilification of carbon dioxide. Why do these people want plants to suffocate!
I’m totally fine with improving efficiency–that’s a lot of my job in the real world. What I object to is the apparent virtue signaling that accompanies any discussion of it.
Yes – It’s often difficult to cut through all the virtue-signaling bs to make an unbiased economic comparison.
Anatomy of a false flag.
FBI and DEA?!?
I get why they have a lot of feds in the area, being close to the border and all. And they plenty of time to get there, of course.
Showing up to critical calls after all the excitement is over, then standing around for a few hours, is a time-honored law enforcement method of avoiding real work.
It’s good for stories down the road, too: “Oh that incident? Yeah, I responded to that one. Let me tell you…”
Except I imagine not too many of the responders to this incident will ever be bragging about their presence there.
That’s a lot of overtime…
That’s nameplate capacity. The question that matters, and that is never addressed, is: how many kilowatt hours over the course of the year, and what percentage is that of the building’s electricity consumption?
Sounds like it uses electricity as well as produces electricity. What’s the net output?
No, an electrochemical process is generally one that results in the transfer of electrons in such a way that they can be used in an electric circuit directly connected. For instance, in a fuel cell, the reagents are separated by a membrane across which electrons (or protons in some cases) can be transported to complete the reaction on one side of the membrane. The charge difference across the membrane can be used to drive electrons through a circuit and do useful work.
Thanks, db. For a lawyer, I suck at engineering.
I should clarify that in a fuel cell like is discussed here, there is usually a catalyst that will strip hydrogen atoms (protons) from the methane feed, and then the remaining carbon is oxidized to CO, and eventually to CO2, while the hydrogen gets combined with oxygen to form water in a fuel cell.
Direct use of methane in a fuel cell is a stretch goal (one that will be achieved) at the moment, as current technology would require operating temperatures higher than most metals can tolerate. There is experimental tech out there that hopefully will be commercialized soon that brings the operating temps down into the 500C range, which is do-able for some alloys.
Jury duty today anyone want a post of this ?
I think the answer is almost always “yes” with this crowd.
I’m so nerding out !
Yeah!
(EF, you seat juries? I thought you were in family law.)
Today I got called for jury duty ! Waiting to get picked and then disqualified 🙂
I am in family law now but occasionally I do a criminal defense case. I actually ran a jury trial last month & got a Not guilty which was a thrill.
Are you planning on sticking around to observe after you get thrown out during voir dire when they find out you’re a lawyer?
I might. I booked myself out for the whole
Week, ( hard to do ! )which means
I’m
Missing billable hours 🙁
