Oh well.
I think the refs put the screw job on the Bengals last night. You simply can’t call the game a certain way for 58 minutes and then go completely in the opposite direction the last 2. It was a decent game though.Liverpool won a sloppy affair across the pond while Spuds are going to shit and suffered their third straight loss. We get UCL round of 16 games this week! And that’s sports.
Sadly, I think a lot of people are cheering this on. Not just the musical selection, but the concept of the government testing disgruntled citizens like shit. And I believe all those people once called themselves liberals.
What a fucking dump.
Meanwhile, in a backwards shithole this happened. And remember kids, we’re sending this country money for weapons.
I have an alternate headline. How about: “city throws money in the toilet while many adults who pay little to nothing in taxes cheer”.
Put it straight into my veins. Also, this wasn’t mentioned at all from the first three places I got links from. Not at all.
Hypocrisy. Not that any of us should have expected something different.
Then now would be a perfect time to attack. Not that I condone attacks, but at least it might cause some good.
A legend.
A sad day in the world of comedy. May he Rest In Peace.
That’s some funny timing. Also, the commercial was ass. Mexican avocados in Ancient Rome? Whoever came up with that should be pelted with unripe tree fruit.
Enjoy a fantastic song. And just in case I played that recently (I’m a bit groggy this morning), here’s another great one. And in case I played that recently as well, here’s one I know I haven’t played in forever. Enjoy them all, friends.
And enjoy the start of another week.

Greetings from RSW!
The Hillary news has been on the Google News aggregator this morning.
I wonder how much of this attention is part of an attempt to pre-empt her possible run for 2024. And/or to diminish her influence by painting the Dems as “we’ve moved past all that, we’re new and improved.”
Yeah, saw the story pop up in my news feed as well.
That story is insane. I remember in, uhm 2018 when the mueller report came out and every news media was in disbelief that they had nothing. If only we knew how deep the rabbit hole goes and how little anyone would really care.
If you read it carefully, the Mueller report is full of evidence that the DNC “hack” was fake, and that it was almost certainly a DNC employee with inside access who took the emails that eventually ended up with Wikileaks.
The problem is that it gets reported and then nothing else happens. The idea that the truth coming out means the powerful will be held to account is just a fairy tale.
Yeah, the problem is that some people are immune to consequences, and while most of them are part of the powerful, there are plenty of powerful that won’t get away with criminal behavior. The great divider here isn’t just power, but being connected to the deep state.
If they give it attention it will be to control the damage and dismiss it. The fuckers that spent 4 years lying about how Russia and Trump-Putin were the problem have no desire other than to do damage control to protect the fucking assholes that tell them what programming to present the lemming idiots and themselves. Anyone that by now doesn’t know that the democrat political establishment is a fucking crime syndicate and that the weaponized 3 letter bureaucracies of the Obama era are now all manned by capos from that political machine again, and taking their direction from these criminal cartel members, is a fucking moron.
It’s pretty much been an open secret for years. The Obama faction must be purging the Clinton faction for it to suddenly be news.
They must be trying hard to keep her away from the 2024 election where she now is likely to run as a Cthulhu party candidate instead.
OT: sorry it’s late here. Contract ends March 1. Boss is being silly about a legal severance payment of one month’s salary. But! She is wanting Mr to stay on for a bit. I expected this and am actually looking forward to it. I told her I’d work 2-4 more weeks til she can find someone new.
Training someone else is fine and I’d get to mostly watch rather than teach.
Visa expires in April so have to bounce before then. Working through Feb is actually pretty perfect.
Worried about working and establishing myself in Indy. Another fun adventure to add to the list. No sarc. Hard, but rewarding.
Will likely have to go through legal battles to get all my earnings. The extra work may specifically help an aspect of that. Conditions will apply and I’ll be recording all conversations with her.
The game…is officially afoot.
Indy as in Indianapolis, or India?
“working and establishing myself in Indy”
The newly proposed trans system will need employees.

UcS” Indianapolis, darling. ^^
4×20: ‘trans” or “transportation ” system?…much confusion. I guess both work…but for the former…I require FAR more than the $20 downtown…
UCS: born in Bluefield,WV! Named and then was moved to Eville when I was 6 months old. Absolute coincidence. Dad didn’t get the new job for the paper til after I was named.
I think the trans system is already filled but the newly generated transportation proposal will be needing employees.
Unsubtle
“We’re not going to go into the gutter,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said of his party, an unsubtle reference to the Kavanaugh debate. “We’re not going to engage in personal slurs and slander.”
What an egregious mischaracterization. Noble Democrats made a valiant effort to defend DEMOCRACY! from that racist thug Kavanaugh, but were thwarted by the Party of Misogyny and their frat boy rape camps.
Cruz has been busy lately, making himself visible. Could there be some ulterior motives? Nah, no way.
And that’s why the Dems feel comfortable going into the gutter with personal slurs and slander, they know the Republicans won’t retaliate in kind.
I think the refs put the screw job on the Bengals last night.
The defensive holding was weak, but twisting Ramsey’s helmet on the Higgins touchdown was not. Hard to be too outraged.
Spuds are going to shit and suffered their third straight loss.

The Indianapolis proposal will insure that the low income people stay where they are. No reason to want to move on up to the East Side.
This bus line is going in right by my old house. I won’t say I sold because I knew the bus was coming, but it did play a factor in my decision.

At least it is BRT. Light rail would cost at least ten times as much.
Oh, let’s go with light rail then.
If you go light rail, it needs to be shared right-of-way like DC Streetcar for maximum stupidity.
Houston pedestrians say Hi-aaaaaugh!
Indy tried to go light rail. The state legislature banned them from doing it without approval from the state.
The results of the employer asking our vaccine status is in: no mandate, due to overwhelming response masks are no longer required anywhere. I guess I got worked up for nothing. Still have little to no trust for anyone asking me about my vaccine status. I reiterate, miss me with that jab.
Nice end result.
Same, except we still have to wear masks at work. On the plus side, they stopped playing the “dear customers, please wear a mask while shopping here” announcement in between songs, so maybe its on its way out.
It’s going to take a while to get rid of them in customer facing jobs, because businesses don’t want to deal with the loudmouths that will complain about not wearing them, while maskless customers don’t really care that much either way.
They scrapped the mask mandate for vaccinated employees between May and July of 2021. Of course I pretended to be vaccinated
Looking around the office the only one still wearing a mask is the middle aged lady who gets up from her desk 4 times a day to smoke a cigarette. Nothing against smokers but the juxtaposition gives me a chuckle.
Members of both parties view the fraught Kavanaugh debate as the panel’s worst period in recent memory, even as they say most senators have moved on. Nevertheless, neither side holds back when asked about the handling of the justice’s confirmation.
“I am one of the people that they consider having treated [Kavanaugh] horribly, and that is why Josh Hawley can go on Fox News and say: ‘Oh, I can only imagine what kind of a hearing we’re going to have with Sen. Hirono there,’” said Sen. Mazie Hirono (D-Hawaii).
Replying to Hawley, she quipped: “I just want to say, what the heck? You are an insurrectionist. Come on. Give me a break.”
Hawley, who described the Judiciary Committee as his “most contentious” assignment in the Senate, responded: “I wish her well.”
Bless her heart.
I can’t believe they elected that retard to the senate. Twice.
You must not have interactions with libs too often. Living in a blue state and seeing the stupid shit these people that believe they are smarter than the rubes that do real work believe often leaves me wondering if the fucking evil shits that say letting people vote is dumb might not have actually realized that there is a real problem when easily manipulated lemmings get to virtue signal with a vote.
She probably greases the right palms. That’s all that really matters.
Well, she hasn’t had a real job since she became a politician in 1981, so she must be a hell of a palm-greaser.

things that sound like euphemisms
Perhaps various-appendage-greaser is a little more accurate.
City officials in Indianapolis hope a new bus line targeting the needs of low-income residents will be the catalyst that transforms an underinvested corridor through economic development.
The Indianapolis Public Transit Corporation’s $188 million Purple Line, a 15-mile bus rapid transit, or BRT, system will eventually run from downtown to the neighboring city of Lawrence, providing access to jobs and healthcare for those who mainly depend on mass transit.
City officials, however, have their fingers crossed that the project, scheduled to start construction this month, also will encourage developers to build retail space, offices and affordable housing along an eight-mile stretch of the East 38th Street bus route on the way downtown with the goal of transforming the area.
And if that actually happens, the mob will protest gentrification and profiteering.
If that actually happens, it will be the first time in the history of city busing that it’s happened.
But next time we’ll try harder!
The political mob. There is research out there (I think City Journal had a story) demonstrating that the actual residents benefit. The media of course only print reactions from one side.
A damn bus line costs $188 million dollars?
Some $170 million of that money is bribes and payoffs to all the make work legal shit the regulatory state invented. The other $18 will actually be spent on things that materially create a bus line.
federal and state taxpayers paying for million dollar bus stops?
For the “Red Line” they already put in, the buses needed replaced in the first year. The kiosks don’t work about 3/4 of the time (which means the bus is Free! while it’s broken). The center curb they put in the busy road was destroyed in the first two months from people driving over it (It was a rubber curb to keep people from turning in front of buses.) they replaced it with concrete.
I rode it once on my way home from a brewing thing where I got really drunk. It was completely empty.
OT: Only terrorists believe in or want freedom…
“For many, freedom is a malleable term — one that’s open to interpretation.”
Yeah, like the ones that tell you “Freedom is slavery!”
Ugh…
Yeah — freedom might just happen to have something to do with not being forced into thoughts and actions you don’t agree with. CBC radio definitely lumping everyone who is not of the body as “far right” in that article…
You’ve got to be a special kind of person to goodthink duckspeak like that.
This is an unintended benefit to living under overlords that don’t base their policies and tactics on real-world feedback or results. They continue to pour gobs of energy into propaganda against freedom believing themselves to be clever. In reality it’s actually turning more people off than it’s winning over. Outside of the woke zealots, most people still at least superficially regard freedom as a good thing, even if in practice they’re all too happy to use the strong arm of the state to achieve their preferences.

“That’s some funny timing. Also, the commercial was ass. Mexican avocados in Ancient Rome? Whoever came up with that should be pelted with unripe tree fruit.”
Never got the hate on avocado. It has it’s place in the culinary world. And what threat did they give the inspector? Turn a blind eye to the people hiding at the bottom of the avocado boxes? I thought that was already the norm.
And everyone knows that history is whatever the people in charge tell you it is. Actually wanting things to be semi-accurate is a sign of white supremacy…
My main objections to Avocados are the taste, and texture, and the smug they bring out in some people.
My only objection is when the Santa ana wind blows a large branch full of them off your tree in the front yard, quite the cleanup.
I like them.
How about deep fried with meat & cheese?
Now I’m reminded of avocado fries and am slightly sick to my stomach. Those were not merely unpleasant, but outright gross.
Don’t abuse the meat and cheese like that. They’re innocent.
Huh, it has a nice creamy texture. You definitely have to use it in the right context, but seasoned appropriately it’s quite nice.
Avocados cannot be held responsible for the fact that their most vocal consumers happen to be smug assholes. I will not sit here and listen to the good name of guacamole be besmirched!
It would need to have a good name first.
I know taste in food is subjective, but somehow you’ve managed to be objectively wrong here. Guacamole is what the gods themselves eat.
Yes.
The ones locked away in pits of torment like the Titans, maybe.
Or are you talking about the Aztec lords of the underworld?
As you continue your culinary awakening, you will come around.
Once you do come around, you will be asked to publicly apologize on your knees to an avocado with googly eyes glued on. And you’ll be happy to do it.
Umm, why do you think it’s called Latin America?

Eh, Mike Brown isn’t much better. Although I guess he is.
I wish this shit was actually some 5D chess to know where all the people that have jumped the border are a for future action, but I bet it is simply the people that want to keep labor costs as low as possible for themselves and to encourage people that come to the US to be more about free shit than the American dream.

In the northeast of England, South Tyneside Council has been working on a project aiming to repurpose part of the area’s mining heritage.
According to the council, the £7.7 million ($10.4 million) Hebburn Minewater Project will “draw geothermal energy from abandoned flooded mines in the former Hebburn Colliery.”
The initiative aims to supply heat to several buildings that the council owns by using mine water from the old colliery, which opened in the late 18th century and shut down in 1932.
The project is centered on the drilling of two boreholes. A water source heat pump will extract the mine water’s heat, after which it will be compressed to a far greater temperature. After being funneled to an energy center, a new network of pipes will be used for distribution.
Compress water to make it hotter? Good luck.
Not everybody can splatter that many words on paper and leave the reader more ignorant than when he started.
No no, they’re not compressing the water, they’re compressing the heat.
Yeah, I think I understand how geothermal heating works and I have no idea what they’re trying to say.

The Federal Reserve should be measured in its path to raise interest rates, San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly said on Sunday.
“It is obvious that we need to pull some of the accommodation out of the economy. But history tells us with Fed policy, that abrupt and aggressive action can actually have a destabilizing effect on the very growth and price stability we’re trying to achieve,” Daly said on CBS’ “Face The Nation.”
“The most important thing is to be measured in our pace and, importantly, data-dependent,” Daly added.
Keep a close eye on those Biden approval polls.
she must be a hell of a palm-greaser.
EEEWWWWWWWW!
“Markets and households and all of my contacts in the business community that I speak to regularly, they understand that the Fed is moving on the policy path and adjusting it so that we get it right-sized for the economy,” Daly said.
Yeah. Jamie Dimon and Ray Dalio have nothing but the best interests of the economy at heart.
What’s really kind of funny to me is that I still don’t even know who was playing against the Bengals yesterday.
As always, the Bengals lost a Super Bowl to a California team.
It sucks, but a happy day for all two of the Ram’s fans.

The local cowboy shooters have an annual swap meet/garage sale. This year it’s Feb 26 10:00-14:00 at KF&G. I don’t know how popular .45-70 is among them, but there might be some available.
I’ll bear the timing in mind. Though I may be pre-emptively banned for putting a red dot on a Henry.
I don’t have to worry about .45-70, since the lever gun is .45 Colt.
It’s not a shooting event, so you don’t need to bring the gun.
You might be in luck. I have heard a stereotype that cowboy shooters start with .45 Colt, then eventually give up and switch to .38 like everyone else.
I understand it’s not a shooting event.
The only reason I’ve been thinking of getting a .38 is because I already have ammo for it.
Don’t ask why I bought ammo for a gun I didn’t own yet.
Good start, UCS
I can see that you’ll be needing .30 Herrett and 6.5 X .223 ammo, I know where you can get some and then of course you’ll need to find a gun…
Act now Glibs!

8 Years… Must be good to be connected.
After 8 years, a retired Florida police captain will stand trial for killing a man in an argument about texting in a movie theater
I’ll be watching the coverage of this trial. It’s crazy that it has been delayed this long.
What’s crazier is that he may actually get off, not because he’s a retired cop, but because FL’s self defense law allows for greater latitude in self defense justification for elderly people.
The elderly can be considered more frail, and therefore have different thresholds for use of deadly force in self defense in FL. The deceased allegedly punched the shooter in the head with an object–possibly his cell phone in his hand.
The whole situation is fucked up. At multiple points in the altercation, both parties (especially the shooter) could have defused the situation by simply moving to another seat, or leaving the theater.
The facts in the case are nowhere near as simple as have been reported in the news media. CNN’s is particularly fucked.
Has CNN photoshopped some darker skin on the victim to really get their audience’s juices flowing?
Two white guys shooting each other is like watching a pr0n video of a guy whacking it. Maybe a niche market for it, but most people are totes uninterested.
That would explain the lack of traffic on my OnlyFans.

That’s an interesting thought. Solo women certainly have an audience.

Um, I’d suggest you ask Tonio.
Defusing is apparently tough for lots of people. Several weeks ago, in a nearby town, a guy trailed a woman to her home and shot her and another person. Why? She bumped into him in the supermarket and her apology apparently wasn’t sincere enough.
It’s going to get harder and harder as the rifts in society get wider.
I want to believe that there’s more to that story. I’m starting to see this sort of thing as a side effect of a society that has decided to openly encourage and celebrate mental illness. I can’t imagine that it would be very difficult to spot that level of crazy early and do something about it.
While I dislike people using their phones at the theater, surely the pre-movie ads are an exception.

OMWC & SP, I’m so sorry to hear about WD’s passing. Dogs are so much better than we are.
I payed 7.8 lei per liter of gas. this is getting silly.
I had no idea you could barter flowers for gas.
droll
The best part is he was able to unload them before they dried up.
The $3.33/gallon here is too high.
$3.60 here in western PA because our Governor is a POS who has raised gas taxes to what are possibly the highest in the country.
Prices are like $0.50 lower in Ohio, only 7 miles from here.
Why do you hate roads db?
They get in the way of the chickens.
I hate PA roads because the PA government takes money from gas taxes that is specifically supposed to go into road/bridge maintenance funds and slushes it into the general funds–and then our bridges collapse and taxes and bonds have to be raised to repair the damage that is supposed to be fixed by the taxes we are already paying.
Sometimes this makes me upset enough to consider running for office.
IT IS FOR THE CHILDREN YOU SCROOGE
Gas tax is one of the most beautiful long cons of our time.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
You may think that using gas tax money to build bike paths is a waste of money, but those bike paths will reduce congestion on the roads as more people begin using them for their daily commute. In winter. In Minnesoda.
So yeah, you can thank your selfless urban planners for doing such a great job. Even if you are too ignorant or short sighted to see it.
Yeah, it used to be on road trips I’d wait until getting to pa to buy gas. Now it’s just the opposite. You know you done fucked up when new York has cheaper gas than you do.
PA gas taxes were the highest in the country. If I remember correctly, California then raised its gas tax to take back the number one spot.
However, despite all that, PA is now number three.
You trust Wikipedia for this sort of stuff?
It was easy to find. The chart’s citation is the American Petroleum Institute. So, yeah, I’ll trust wikipedia here.
Hey that is almost exactly half the price here. 6.77 per gallon. My friend in dutchland pays 8.9 USD per gallon.
Got another PCR test today. Hope this none is negative…
How many you have to take?
Until he passes.
Until I got the negative one to make sure it is negative. I need negative test to go back to the office (don’t want to do that) and maybe to fly to Spain (I hope the green pass thing is enough they won’t want test)
The world has lost its mind
yes.
So you can WFH until you provide a negative test?
it is still WFH at will anyways. But if I need for any reason to go to the office I need a negative.
But I took it mostly so I know I don;t need to cancel my Spain accommodations
Negative! Hopefully my company will reimburse me the 250 lei.
Can they just give you 35L of gas instead?
Glad to hear that you aren’t pegnant
Ivan Reitman died (im carching up from news), my childhood memories will always involve his movies making me laugh and that one where I found out you can enjoy major boobage in cartoons.
The husband of one of my manager’s went to the hospital with chest pains this morning.
Not a heart attack fortunately, so they’re checking him for myocarditis and “clots.”
The constant refrain in the hospital is “COVID can cause heart issues, have you had COVID or been exposed? You might not even know COVID was doing that to you.”
The guy is double vaxxed and boosted. He was exposed to Omicron but didn’t come down with it or it was very minor.
I would actually feel better if we found out there is a secret lair in a volcano with our world health ‘experts’ plotting the medical destruction of the human race.
I’d say that was the CDC, but there aren’t volcanos in Atlanta as far as I know.
If this is as bad as some fear, there is no way it can remain hidden forever. But terrible damage will have been done.
If it’s real but overblown, it can likely be swept under the rug. And Terrible Damage will have been done.
If it’s not real, one hopes that eventually people talking about heart damage from the vaccines will be proven solidly, publicly wrong. And people will still have heart damage from COVID.
The only way to turn any of this into a win is to encourage and ensure that Truth is known.
Based on the increasingly palpable fear that is emanating from the government, I’m inclined to believe that it is very bad and they are desperate to hide it.
Not just that, but seeing lots of ads about getting HIV tests, or seeing that everything under the sun now causes heart issues. They’re laying the ground work
^^
*passes roll of tin foil*
Sweet I don’t need to use mine. Thanks Sean!
+1 COVID death.
Obviously, hoping he recovers fully and they have no more issues
Also, thanks for answering a question about that COVID antibody study a few days back.
Any RSV could cause myocarditis so it’s a perfectly convenient excuse. I would assume it would start when you have the actual disease though.
Absolutely. It’s just interesting that they don’t even mention the vaccines. They’re studiously avoiding any mention of them.
It’s almost convenient that everyone who gets vaccinated is still gonna get covid.
Other than the strain lack of oxygenation puts on your heart when you are really sick, is that true?
The virus targets ACE receptors.
I’ve been reading articles on it from the beginning.
But, it does seem mighty convenient that someone has mild covid and then months later has heart problems and it must’ve been that covid.

After decades of decline, U.S. unions have a new reason for hope: younger workers.
Workers in their 20s – and even in their teens – are leading ongoing efforts to unionize companies large and small, from Starbucks and REI to local cannabis dispensaries. The Alphabet Workers Union, formed last year and now representing 800 Google employees, is run by five people who are under 35.
Multiple polls show union approval is high among the youngest workers. And U.S. union membership levels are even ticking upward for workers between 25 and 34, even as they decline among other age groups.
“Sit down and shut up, kid. You’ll get your participation trophy when you’ve been here forty years.”

Exactly! That is what the union does for you!
Sure you didn’t get the raise you are used to getting this year, but now you and your union brothers have job security.
Hah hah Jimbo, you’re so cute.
“You and the Fortran guy are at the same scale. Want a raise, talk to your unionist.”
“Company is doing a RIF. You’re underwater on the seniority chart. Your last day is February 28.”
“No, we’re not going to pursue your grievance. The company is correct according to the contract.”
“Good news! We’ve added horse insurance to the employee benefits this year. But you’ll no longer get a match to your 401k.”
“The company wants to give you free cafeteria, dry cleaning, daycare, etc again. But they didn’t talk to us, so you don’t get those. Those are only for non-union employees.”
So this is what destroys Alphabet.
Please don’t get my hopes up like that. I don’t think I could take the disappointment.
“Hackers take down $8.6M GiveSendGo set up for Freedom Convoy, release names of donors and replace front page with clip from Disney’s Frozen as 30 truckers now face $100K fines after being arrested as Ambassador Bridge
A Canadian court ordered the GiveSendGo funds to be frozen, but the website defied the order and said that the court did not have jurisdiction in the matter.
The Daily Dot first reported that the site suffered a hack overnight Sunday and had its front page briefly replaced by a clip from the movie Frozen and a manifesto accusing it of supporting ‘an insurrection in Ottawa.’
The leak site Distributed Denial of Secrets (DDoS) claimed to have 30 megabytes of donor information from people who contributed to the Freedom Convoy, including names, email addresses, zip codes, and internet protocol addresses.
DDoS said that, because the donor information contains sensitive personal information, it would not be making the data available publicly but will instead be offering it to ‘journalists and researchers.’
DDoS describes itself as a non-profit devoted to enabling the free transmission of data in the public interest. The site frequently disclosed hacked information targeting supporters of right-wing movements.”

The hackers feel powerful, but they’re really not going to like what a neo-reactionary equivalent to them looks like.
They’ll be lucky if they’re just doxxed and not hung from overpasses.
Well it was probably helped by a three-letter agency….
My first thought when I read this. And by helped you mean entirely planned and executed by.
This shit needs to be turned around on leftist funders as well.
Goddamned Marxist hackers…
Or how about just not hacking the things?
it’s dangerous though. The government will just wrist slap the left leaning ones. Anyone else is gonna get the full brunt of the law.
Look, if you don’t want to be harassed by left wing nuts you should build your own planet.
I’m sincerely thinking of taking Elon up on it.
You realize they won’t stop bugging you just because you moved to Mars, right?
They’ll probably complain that you’re ruining the native Mars climate my terraforming it and importing all sorts of invasive earth critters.
We have to first overthrow the robot population of Mars.
You’re going to have to the exit tax in advance. What if everyone wants to leave?
You’re free to leave anytime you want. You will, however need to secure your own transportation.

More fodder for the Truckers vs. Antifa argument.
I heard absolutely nothing about this on the tv news this weekend. If Powerline hadn’t linked to it, I never would have known. Altar Boy #2 who is living near downtown had heard some rumors about this, but no real idea.
If they hadn’t vandalized businesses, I would have said that their protest was OK. Yes it fucked up some people’s travel, but it doesn’t sound like they were surrounding cars and beating on them this time.
Why don’t the cops do anything?
Because MInneapolis is ruled by leftist CRT advocates. And cops follow orders.
Because the interim Chief is worried about her job. She was the one who let her goons go out on no-knock raids and they killed an innocent guy.
No way she is going to let the goons get within 100 ft of the other goons. Nothing good would come out of that encounter.
‘The group then confronted him and he produced some sort of weapon, saying he wasn’t going to let them “destroy the city”again’
Heh, good thing the cops had the helicopter overhead so they could capture high quality images of the fun, then not release it to the defense attorneys.
Sounds like no one got hurt at least. What was the point of their match of intimidation though?
They were marching to protest the killing of Amir Locke in a no-knock raid. The reason it was peaceful was because their hearts weren’t into it. Locke seems like a decent guy. His cousin (who was the target of the no-knock warrant) was a true thug, but Locke wasn’t. The Antifi/BLM types only seem to get jazzed up when the cops shoot a criminal.
Not that the criminals deserve to get shot, but it seems silly to create a saint out of a career criminal who left Texas because the rest of his family wanted nothing to do with him.
Are we still talking about George Floyd?

That’s a good 45.
Drew Barrymore looks like she needs to fire her stylist, like, yesterday.
Maybe the problem is that there isn’t much to work with there anymore?
Disagree. She’s still got a sweetheart look about her.
Drew Barrymore, America’s Sweetheart.
She looks like she’s wearing Hugh Hefner’s pajamas.
Yes. She could have rocked some beautifully fit palazzo trousers with an elegant top, but chose not to.
Alicia Silverstone’s dress was on point, though. Susan Sarandon’s boots were tres cute.
Young workers say they see unions as the best way to combat wage inequality and poor working conditions. For some, personal heroes like Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders – a vocal labor advocate – have piqued their interest in unions. Others say the coronavirus pandemic caused them to rethink what they deserve from their jobs.
*outright, prolonged laughter*
Based on the increasingly palpable fear that is emanating from the government, I’m inclined to believe that it is very bad and they are desperate to hide it.
The obsessive refusal to allow any contemplation of adverse effects from the vaccines is a bad, bad, sign.
I envision Osterholm in a padded cell one of these days, rocking and beating his head on the wall, muttering “safe and effective” over and over and over. It makes me smile.
I saw a new PA tax payer funded ad over the weekend.
The new language got my attention. Something about the vaxx being “as safe as other medicines”. Moving away from “100% safe & effective”.
“as safe as other medicines”
Which medicines would that be?
Ivermectin?
I was thinking thalidomide.
ooooooh, nice one.
I saw an irritating ad on one of those stupid video screens on a gas pump with “Dr. Johnson, Physician General of PA” who assures the viewer that “We have made progress against COVID in P-A. That’s because the COVID vaccines are proven and safe.”
That’s a pretty long stretch there, ma’am.
Now they’re going to “as safe as other medicines,” eh?
But history tells us with Fed policy, that abrupt and aggressive action can actually have a destabilizing effect on the very growth and price stability we’re trying to achieve,” Daly said on CBS’ “Face The Nation.”
You know, the funny thing is this sort of nonsense is actually making the need for an “abrupt and aggressive action” more likely. Inflation expectations are themselves a driver of inflation. The Fed basically signaling a dovish stance when there’s pretty obviously inflation happening right now only drives those expectations higher.
Haven’t you heard? The situation with Russia nd the Ukraine is causing price inflation.

He wanted himself some yellow fever and she didn’t cooperate?

Good morning, Sloop!
I thought the game was ok, the commercials sucked balls and I muted the halftime show within about 30 seconds.
I think a zombie Clash show would have been much better.
Other than Snoop and Eminem, the other hip hop stars have gotten chubby.
Fifty Cent is in bad need of a diuretic.
Dre was fit but then again, a heart attack will do that. As I stated last night, that was Dr. Dre displaying his rap empire.
No one made a big deal about the commercials this year.
Old(er) man yells at halftime show full of old men.
Fair enough. I yelled at the Who, Aerosmith, the Stones, Tom Petty and Springsteen, too.
I thought Bruno Mars was pretty good – I had no idea who the hell he was.
You ever offer to take someone somewhere and they say they will only be 15 minutes or so, so you wait in the car and then an hour later you’re still waiting in the car with not so much as a text message suggesting when they will be back?
If you see people with heavy garbage bags leaving the building, it’s time to go.
I am not an uber driver myself
I have two teenage boys…I know this feeling completely.
Go away, baitin’!
Not in a long time. My brother gets notoriously late, so I’ve stopped doing things which rely on him being on time.
I don’t know if this was a lady friend, but an hour is egregious and you should have left.
” so you wait in the car and then an hour later you’re still waiting in the car”
With the engine running and the heater on to stay warm and the missus says “You can’t guess who I ran into in the store”
Nope. I leave after 15 mins if they don’t show up. Especially if thee are people close to you. That sort of uncourteous behavior should not be condoned.
I’d probably give a 5 minute warning text before I left. Perhaps with an option that I will wait at the rate of, say, a dollar a minute.
Would be only once unless a good excuse emerged later.
That’s every time my wife want to stop at that store on the way home to buy 1 or 2 things and then she comes back with a full shopping cart.
We can’t raise interest rates. We’re going to be borrowing a lot of money to pay for the war with Russia.
Wife is convinced Russians won’t support an invasion of Ukraine because of the casualties.
So based on the footsballs game, if you had to choose to spend one year within the city limits of either LA or Cincinnati – could not exceed the official city limits at all that year, which would you chose? Would anyone choose Cincinnati? I mean LA has better climate, food, also beachfront.
Does Pinks serve Skyline chili on their dogs?
don'[t know what Skyline chili but a quick google leads to ewww gross
Or if you got a 300k USD budged and anything left after the one year of living in the city you could keep, would that sway you to the I assume cheaper cost of living Cincinnati?
Well, I don’t like California in general. I hated the one year i lived in San Francisco. I doubt I would like Los Angeles any better.
but they have the best tacos
LA is ugly. Much like Austin.
On my current salary? Cincinnati, in a heartbeat.
Guessing the COVID policies are a little saner there.
A lot may depend on how big Cincinnati’s actual borders are. Guessing LA is gigantic. I think Cincinnati would still win out, but that is a point in LA’s favor.
Pretty small in comparison. A lot would hinge on whether a decent supermarket is available.
The actual City of LA? Not that big. LA County on the other hand…
Huh. I always thought the two were synonymous.
Guess Cincy wins, just like they should have won the Superbowl.
On a side note, apparently the trick to winning the Superbowl is to have it hosted in your stadium.
And refs that overlook holding, cause you know…its the Super Bowl.
Yeah, there were some egregious non calls.
Then they decided to call everything in the last 2 minutes of the game.
Who’s paying?
let’s go with my comment on the 300k budget
Definitely Cincy in that case. Then I’d take the extra money and go someplace I like a lot more than L.A.
LA in 1980-2001, Cinci 2001-onward.
Cincinnati–at least I could carry a gun there legally.
why do you need to carry a gun if you have nothing to hide?
You couldn’t pay me enough to go to LA.

the guy was not too badly hurt… they got him out in one piece after a few hours

Must have been Swiss cheese that fell on him.

More from the Twink of the North.
I wonder where this goes.
He’s not going to concede. That fucker’s ego is massive and his entire political future is riding on this.
He’s going to demonstrate just how much he loves the Canadian people by stomping on them.
Can’t the Canadian Parliament call for a vote of no confidence?
Isn’t that one of the benefits of a parliamentary system? You don’t get stuck with a Biden for four years?
One would think. The twats in Parliament are running scared that they’re going to have to actually pick sides.
The twats in Parliament are running scared that they’re going to have to actually pick sides.
It’s not even that. The Conservatives are the only ones with any motivation to call for such a vote, and they don’t have enough votes to bring down the government. The NDs will never vote against the Liberals — they’re ideological kissing-cousins.
Yes
Can’t the Canadian Parliament call for a vote of “no confidence”?
Any party can call for a vote of “no confidence,” but it’s an empty, futile gesture when the government has a minority that’s thoroughly propped-up by one of the other parties that together make a majority of votes. The Liberals are propped up by the socialist New Democrats, which means no soup for the rest of us.
Tundra you have your priorities all wrong, didn’t you hear that Snoop Dog smokes weed? Seriously, I see that story more than him playing Emperor Palpatine.
You know me, brother, always missing the salient news.

Good.
Will the Twink blink, do you think?
He isn’t blinking. He is desperately trying to solidify his power
??
Unfortunately, no.
I think the Conservatives will have to push for a no-confidence vote.

Easily one of the dumbest takes on foreign policy ever.
It sounds like he wants black America to support Ukraine.
When the only issue you think matters is racism, then everything you see has to be explained in that mold. Hammer and nails or some such shit.
Yeah, a very inapt comparison.
It’s actually nothing like that, but okay. Absolutely everything in the world can just be boiled down to American race relations. Once we solve that, everything else will follow.
America’s chief cultural export is its own historical narrative. Its elites and elite-aspirants believe their own propaganda. It appears the next great clash is going to be between those civilizations that have been conquered by this combination, and those that haven’t.

Curiously, one Senator Biden (D-Delaware) was partly responsible for ensuring student loan debt was non-dischargeable in bankruptcy. Whatever happened to that guy?
He has no idea.
Was that before or after he headed the legislation to crank up the drug war and maximize the number of people living in cages for obscenely long sentences for the crime of getting high against daddy government’s wishes?
Seeing non-NHL players play in the Olympics makes me jealous and happy. NHL/NBA/MLB players should not be playing in the Olympics.

Stage description. Diorama shows two full-sized pepper poppers and a swinger, I’m assuming that there aren’t mini-Rhino knockdowns or Holy Monkeys available.
If the diorama represented reality, I know how I’d shoot it. If there’s some kind of limiter, I’d have to shoot it les-efficiently.

The description is required to be read out loud verbatim prior to the walkthrough.
Since you don’t recognize them as terms of art, they really need a definitions section.
This is an ATF sting isn’t it? I aint’ answering this
I’m only familiar with The Shrine of The Silver Monkey
Watching the commercials last night, you’d think most cars were electric, instead of about 3% of the market.
I’d be shocked if it were 3%, that sounds high to me.
I think it’s around there, probably depends on whether you include hybrids or not. Most in the US are Tesla vehicles, obviously. I doubt anybody else has more than 10% of EV sales.
If you can run it off of an ICE built into the vehicle, it’s not an EV.
You’d also think: Majority of people were gay/trans/black/mixed race couples/men are dumb and zero calorie beer was good.
As part of a mixed race couple with kids who play in a variety of activities, I’m pretty confident that mixed race couples are super common these days. Probably half my kids’ sports teams.
This just proves America is not at all racist though.
Just you wait, one day we’ll see an article saying that mixed race relationships are a form of white supremacy.
That’s already happened. It’s
-Exoticism
-Fetishization
-White sexual entitlement
-Colonialism
According to the silly “one drop” logic the census bureau used to prove the elimination of the white majority, these kids ‘ progeny will forever after be non-white. But anyone who has kids knows this is horse shit and if they marry a white person their kids will be indistinguishable.
I’m not convinced “white” is actually a thing anyway. My Armenian blood apparently some think is not “white” but others do .
You’re not white, but you are Caucasian.
Guess who was considered black in Russia before the collapse of the Soviet Union. Not Africans. I couldn’t stop laughing when I was told the first time the American meaning of the word Caucasian.
People who drank a Black Russian?
One day?
Pretty sure they wrote that back on 2003 or so.
Since then, I see a lot more mixed race couples. Proving America is racist.
Yeah wasn’t a dig on them, the first marriage was one and my kids are too. They are common, just not 100%
Maybe they just congregate, because I haven’t seen one in real life since… my trip around the great lakes when I stopped in at Fourscore’s place.
Fourscore isn’t in a mixed race relationship, asians are wypipo now.
There’s one running lately with a black guy, a white guy, and a couple kids.
I *think* they were not going for “random collection of people they pulled in off the street” but I could be wrong.
If one of the kids isn’t a Black trans in a wheel chair they are homophobic racist pieces of shit!
