Summer came upon us in a rush, like the end of a Peter North action sequence. The snow has given way, and we have gone from brown to lush green in just two weeks. The local Democratic Party Committee has approached WebDom about running for mayor (this, several weeks after the Republican Party Committee did the same thing). I get the feeling that the incumbent is doing a bipartisan job of alienating everyone. The college girls remaining in town have taken to wearing greatly abbreviated clothing, and at least one dirty old man heartily approves.
Birthdays today include a guy who was more libertarian than 45/46ths of our presidents; a guy with a bad case of the shakes; a guy who always had a touch of evil about him; a woman whose pussy became a Sam Kinison routine; the most influential guy in jazz unknown to the general public; a guy who got hired when Anthony Perkins was too expensive; easily the most beautiful woman in pop music history; and some crazy chick with big lips.

I don’t think any of them deserve my vote. Fucking clown show.
I’ve quickly gone from muh sacred civic duty to vote defensively to I will not legitimize the farce by participating in it.
That’s quite the tongue-bath.
No mention of the scandal that’s actually far worse than Watergate, I see. I am shocked.
Marcus allegedly personally searched at least 10 female students between the ages of 13 and 16, and it was the nature of the searches and how they were handled that led to the charges, Baker said.
Hey, someone had to search those girls. There are never any women around in a school when you need them.
“…and how they were fondled that led to the charges…”
Good catch. I hate it when someone is misquoted.
“Watergate taught us that rule-breakers are accountable,” Dean said. “Today, rule-breakers are not being held accountable.”

Dean may not be the hero America deserves but the one it needs. In the past few years, he has become a touchstone for political morality, an imperfect figure in uncertain times.
Right.
In other words, Dean got caught. I watched the Watergate hearings unfold on TV. 10 years later I read at least a dozen cop out biographies of most of the participants. Good times
And ten years after that those books were still siting on the shelves of used book stores, unloved, unwanted.
Pretty sure I read Chuck Colson’s autobiography through in full – but him and Prison Fellowship were the only ones I was interested in way back when….surprisingly brought on by reading this as a lad (I didn’t get a lot of comic books overseas).
There were a handful of books like these and the Christian Archie books that were easy for Southern Baptists (like my relatives) to find on the shelves and mail to us.

To make schools safer, we could clump students together in small groups or “cells”. Then we could house them in cell blocks. Maybe have guards roaming these cell blocks. That’ll keep them safe.
I would suggest concentrating them in camps where only responsible, government-vetted adults would look after them.
I thought public schools already were prisons?
Federal programs intended to keep schools secure, such as the Student, Teachers and Officers Preventing (STOP) School Violence Act which provided more than $125 million in grants to schools, are in place across the country.
Mission accomplished.

“Can we understand political behavior by looking solely at the brain?

A Uvalde, Texas, educator has filed a court petition to investigate the gun manufacturer whose AR 15-style rifle was used in the May 24 mass shooting that left 19 children and two teachers dead.
——-
The confusion added to the trauma that Marin, who was not physically harmed in the shooting, has endured, Flanary said.
“She is not well psychologically. She is a wreck,” he said. “She’s been to her doctor and she’s continuing to receive treatment. It’s going to be a long road ahead, as it is for so many other people.”
Her filing appears to be the first court action in the massacre. It is not officially a lawsuit, but rather a pre-suit petition that seeks to determine if the gunmaker can be sued for how it markets its weapons. The state of Texas gives parties broad power to investigate potential claims prior to the filing of a lawsuit under a unique provision called Rule 202.
It will take years and years and millions and millions of dollars to soothe these unharmed people.
Someone must pay.
Muh holy victimhood!
It’s amazing what gets standing and what doesnt get standing in this country.
🙄
And who exactly is bankrolling this fishing expedition? Surely just this educator that is so overcome with grief and confusion that they’re intimately familiar with judicial procedures and marched right into the clerk’s office to file paperwork. I know I feel like looking up legal procedures and filling out forms when I’m upset.
“Everybody knows that school shootings are happening. It’s an epidemic. So we want to know, what are they doing to change their marketing practices?” Flanary said.
Specifically, he added, when it comes to the Uvalde gunman, “we’re trying to investigate, did they market to this person? Did they do something that caused him to want to buy the gun, when he just shouldn’t have? And that’s what we’re really concerned about.”
The filing bears similarities to the landmark $73 million settlement obtained in February by relatives of some of those killed in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Connecticut.
If only there were a way to hang this around Trump’s neck.
I bet pfizer could make a vaccine for this epidemic. Just ask em
“Did they do something that caused him to want to buy the gun, when he just shouldn’t have?”
Does this guy even listen to himself?
The Sandy Hook settlement will be seen as a complete mistake in years to come. Understand why they’d do it but that won’t stop the gungrabbers. And fuck those weasels who somehow were able to sue Alex Jones for expressing protected speech.

President Joe Biden’s planned visits to Saudi Arabia and Israel later this month have been postponed until July, several officials told NBC News on Friday.
The White House is now planning a broader trip to the Middle East next month, sources said.
——-
Biden’s plans to visit Saudi Arabia came under swift scrutiny given the country’s human rights record and the president’s own past comments about the oil-rich country. On the campaign trail, Biden promised to treat as a “pariah” following the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi in the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul. The CIA concluded in 2018 that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler, had ordered Khashoggi’s killing. The crown prince has denied any personal involvement in his death.
A group of relatives of victims of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks wrote to Biden this week saying that if he travels to the kingdom, he must raise issues of “accountability” over alleged ties between some of the 9/11 hijackers and Saudi officials.
We need to make sure we have the hierarchy of grievances squared away.
Dumb…
Trump was an idiot, but he had the brains to let folks work on the basic diplomacy issues – and now we have actual relations between Israel and the gulf states – including SA. Didn’t even require giving anything up (compared to Clancy’s “Sum of All Fears” – which obviously was pre-Intifada 1 & 2).
Trying to figure out how the Putin unpersoning & Russian pariahing won’t be seen by any other national leaders as foreshadowing.

BTW, Trashy, I found the complete wordle list, and did my frequency analysis on it. The main change was that there was a lack of plurals, so S is much less likely to be in the 5th position, and it prefers the 1st position. Therefore LOINS is not quite as good as before (but still not bad). Also, CRATE is better than CARET, so CRATE/LOINS/DUMPY is overall pretty strong, but I found another combo that has the best direct hits and pretty good on overall hits, SLATE/CRONY/HUMID. I’ll be trying it out; so far I’ve gotten two 18’s with it.

“The end of Korean BBQ in L.A.? What the gas stove ban means for your fave restaurants
“The tabletop gas grill is an important part of our Korean food culture,” said Ryan Park, general manager of Park’s BBQ. “It’s connected to the taste of the food and how we grill the meat.”
All that may change by 2023 — at least in new Los Angeles buildings. The L.A. City Council last week passed a motion that would ban most gas appliances in new residential and commercial construction in the city, citing an effort to combat climate change.”

Two college students were shot to death Thursday evening in a church parking lot in Ames, Iowa, police said, before the shooter fatally turned his gun on himself.
The shooting at the Cornerstone Church was the result of a “domestic situation” between the shooter, a 33-year-old man from the city of Boone, and one of the women, said Story County Sheriff Paul Fitzgerald at a news conference Friday.
Both women, ages 22 and 21, were students at nearby Iowa State University, he said.
They’re going to have to tear the church down and turn it into a transgender theme park. It’s the only way to honor the victims properly.

Not since Jesus was a dinosaur wrangler
The amount of heat-trapping carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has shot past a key milestone—more than 50% higher than pre-industrial times—and is at levels not seen since millions of years ago when Earth was a hothouse ocean-inundated planet, federal scientists announced Friday.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said its long-time monitoring station at Mauna Loa, Hawaii, averaged 421 parts per million of carbon dioxide for the month of May, which is when the crucial greenhouse gas hits its yearly high. Before the industrial revolution in the late 19th century carbon dioxide levels were at 280 parts per million, scientists said, so humans have significantly changed the atmosphere. Some activists and scientists want a level of 350 parts per million. Industrial carbon dioxide emissions come from the burning of coal, oil and gas.
Levels of the gas continue to rise, when they need to be falling, scientists say. This year’s carbon dioxide level is nearly 1.9 ppm more than a year ago, a slightly bigger jump than from May 2020 to May 2021.
“The world is trying to reduce emissions, and you just don’t see it. In other words, if you’re measuring the atmosphere, you’re not seeing anything happening right now in terms of change,” said NOAA climate scientist Pieter Tans, who tracks global greenhouse gas emissions for the agency.
We’re all gonna die.
I read that as feral scientists. Probably works better.
They never acknowledge that high CO2 levels may have been a product of warm temperatures and not the cause.
Also never mentioned – CO2 is plant food.
Before the industrial revolution in the late 19th century carbon dioxide levels were at 280 parts per million

Musk’s email comes at a time when stock markets have tumbled this year over fears the U.S. economy is headed to a recession as the Federal Reserve raises interest rates aggressively to fight high inflation.
Inflation is not economically destructive, only the attempts to stop it. We should just make semiannual cost of living wage hikes mandatory. That will fix it. Party on!
Other CEOs have recently expressed concerns about the economy, with JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon this week predicting an economic hurricane.
“Right now it’s kind of sunny, things are doing fine. Everyone thinks the Fed can handle this,” Dimon said at an investment conference. “That hurricane is right out there down the road coming our way.”
They’re rooting for Middle Class Joe to fail, because they hate America.

called for retired and former military members to step up to enhance security in schools
Is that the stupidest thing ever? Clearly the special duty police are not doing any good, either as deterrent or on-scene response. I have to think the kind of officers that are going into those positions are more sedentary than average. The one example I have seen in person was overweight, clearly never left his chair in the school office, and spent all day chatting up the secretaries.
If you’re going to post someone in the school to mitigate the risk of mass murder, would not someone who has faced live fire be a better choice? And getting rid of the cop removes law enforcement from school discipline, which, on the whole, is probably better.
Standard libertarian disclaimer, shouldn’t be public schools, etc.
Thinks back to all the drunken, pervy junior NCOs I’ve known… thinks back to own career as a drunken, pervy junior NCO… Looks askance at the scheme. 😉
Thinks about all the recruiters caught boning recruits..
It’s easy to forget (thanks to the 24-hour news cycle and the internet) that spree killings are very rare, and school shootings are rarer still. A tiny real risk means that any real security and response measures will wither away on the vine, for lack of funding and sustainment practice. Competent armed security will be moved to areas of actual danger and replaced with fuckups, security doors start getting propped open for convenience, employee training goes from quarterly to annually to, “Fuck it, whenever…” Entropy always wins, unless you have someone with the authority to defeat it.
I like how, simultaneously, all teachers are heroes and, also, can’t be trusted to carry in schools if they so choose.
Instead, we should have some volunteers just hang out instead.
Or conflating anything allowed must be mandatory.
“Oh, so you’re just going to make every teacher carry a gun?!”
Somehow a profession so far up in its ass with licensing and yearly continuing education can’t envision becoming proficient with firearms and requiring reoccurring demonstration of that proficiency.

We had at least one full time LEO in my high school in addition to many security guards. The LEO wasn’t there for deterrence, he was there for arrests. They would randomly fly into classrooms, have everyone stand up immediately with their hands out of pockets and of sight, and then begin searching every student and backpack. They would close off sections of the hallway and search every locker. And they would randomly set up checkpoints to search anyone out of class walking the halls, even if you had a signed hall pass.
I think Otto’s description of cells, cellblocks, and roaming guards was meant facetiously, but that’s already a fairly apt description of many public schools including my own.
That must have made civics class and teaching about warrantless searches and limited government powers a real hoot.

My freshman year, we couldn’t go off campus for lunch but were allowed to eat outside. My friends and I spent pretty much every day possible outside getting some sunshine and enjoying being out of the building.
Senior year brought a new principle who ran the school like a warden. No more eating outside. Everyone must eat inside the cafeteria. There was also to be no standing in the cafeteria… you got your seat and sat until being allowed to stand when lunch was over. This was enforced by roving security who patrolled while we ate.
We had both the smoking area (senior gardens) and open campus for lunch. But, we also had a cop on grounds. She mostly answered questions, as this was a small college town that was tres pricey after the building moratorium.
Sounds about what will be coming to cities and towns all over America once the “do something about gun violence” folks realize that turning America into a police state to confiscate firearms is about the only thing left to try as there is no fairy godmother who is going to come along, wave her magic wand, and disappear all firearms.
The hell?! That’s crazy.
Where and when was this?
early aughts in Hampton Roads
That’s enraging.
Nothing like that in my day (late eighties).
Same; we could leave campus for lunch as seniors.
We could not. It was safer inside anyway.
Suburban Long Island. We’d drive to the pizza place, if you had a car. Or walk to the less-good pizza place if you didn’t.
Ghetto Rochester. Didn’t bother me as a kid but I probably wouldn’t walk around there today.

So pedos in drag?
JFC.
If you want people to stop calling you ‘groomers’, stop acting like groomers.
😀
I believe correct term is kid fuckers
I would laugh my ass of if some kid got on that stage and pointed to everyone there and said “you are a bunch of perverts, groomers, and pedo’s”

131 lbs. of fentanyl?
“– 1 Assassination Suspect”
¿que?
Probably name hit match for suspect in Mexico or elsewhere.
Jeepers! Are they including the weight of whatever the fentanyl was being concealed inside?
Recap of their recent team building retreat?
That 131 pounds of fentanyl is probably accurate. It is currently selling in pill form in the Tenderloin in SF for 5 bucks a pill. I’m not sure of the dosage, they are the blue pills. Heroin is much harder to find there now, it is mostly fentanyl, oxy and meth from my observations. You can’t get a fucking Happy Meal for 5 bucks right now, but you can certainly get high as fuck.
that’s about enough for 150 million 400 mcg pills, if my math is right. Which seems like a lot.
Not 100% pure, I guess?
Yeah, I’d imagine each pill would be mostly filler, fentanyl is highly potent.
And two months ago a friend of mine from high school OD’d and died down there in the Tenderloin.
It is fucking sad, that whole thing.
Sorry to hear Zwak. North of 100k others as well last year. My youngest brother was one of them two years back. The virus panic just pushed those high numbers even higher. Just a terrible situation. I’m working in the TL once a week usually. It’s always been bad there, but it is way worse now. Just a collection of human misery.
Iga! Iga!
I wonder, at this point does the FBI and associated government tendrils have more or less UC than the Stasi did, on both an absolute and per capita basis?
Final Schadenfreude update: my last day at previous job was one year ago today. Stock closed at $42 and change.

New company is private but is growing over 20% in revenue yoy. And was a billion dollar revenue company in 2021.
