So it’s Saturday evening. It’s summer, 95 degrees or so, and a light breeze. Time for some links!
Pompeo and Bolton be all, “cool. Poor bastard”.
Maybe someone should explain the meaning of, “high value target” to Iran?

In 2007, then-Mayor Gavin Newsom eliminated about 1,500 of the city’s 4,500 trash cans because he said they were not helping keep streets clean and were becoming magnets for more trash.
“Why are all those people putting their trash in my cans?
Reminds me of the idiots who oppose increasing highway capacity because then more drivers just use the highway.
Of course, this is not a problem in Somalia.
Road diets will solve all traffic issues.
Already are, with decreased fuel consumption, less wear/tear on the road/gas tax goes down, right? Or less fuel consumed less tax dollars coming in, gas tax has to go up, right? Buttigieg will explain and Kamala will brief us on what Trans guy meant.
Inelegantly stated, but I’ve seen how this works.
Around here, it’s typically business owners throwing their trash into and then around these bins in order to avoid commercial fees. By the time someone rolls around to empty it at the regularly scheduled time, it’s overflowing and surrounded by piles of garbage.
And to think in a few years, that lowly mayor could be President. It is amazing what a little hard work, a little gumption, and fraud will do for a guy.
And “the right connections”. Dude has been groomed for this path from an early age IIRC.
Fucking groomers.
He Pelosi’s nephew, so there’s that.
The really sad thing is that when he ran for mayor, he was the conservative choice. The other guy, Matt Gonzalas, was bat shit crazy enough that SF wouldn’t elect him.
I lived there in ’97-ish. I vaguely recall he was a city council creature but he wasn’t on the radar yet.
Even then it was obvious to me, who was still nominally a “Democrat”, how utterly useless all the creatures in power were there. They weren’t quite all radical nutjobs yet – that would come later.
That was right before the Dot.com bust. The city was just pulling its ass out of the damage from the ’80s.
“Why are all those people putting their trash in my cans? I know, right!
Haney said the “whole trash can saga has this stench of corruption,” referring to disgraced former Department of Public Works Director Mohammed Nuru, who pleaded guilty in January to federal wire fraud charges. Nuru awarded the contract to maintain San Francisco’s trash cans to a company owned by a relative of a developer who has pleaded guilty to conspiracy and is cooperating with federal authorities in the case against Nuru.

Speaking of meteorological phenomena…
Last evening, I was sitting outside drinking beer and listening to music, because it cools off fster outside than inside, and it’s really quite p[leasant.
Anyway, just as it was getting dark, I went in to grab another beer, and when I looked out the kitchen window I thought I saw lightning. I went back out and went to where I could see, and there was a big cloud to the northwest of me, and it was full of lightning. Constant flashes, not even ten seconds apart. Mostly in the cloud, but a few ground strikes. Quite an amazing light show. I stood in the driveway for at least half an hour and watched. I never heard any thunder.
ClImAtE ChAnGe!!!

What takes four years to make and costs more than $20,000? A trash can in San Francisco.
Only $20K? It sounds like the city needs to do a better job grifting. That’s penny ante shit.
The School District of Philadelphia is mandating that students and staff wear masks for the first 10 days of the school year, and is requiring that pre-kindergarten attendees mask-up all year.
I have a vague memory that when the PA government tried imposing masks in schools the courts, even the Democrat dominated state Supreme Court, shot it down. I think the order came from the state health department using emergency powers which couldn’t be used because the State of Emergency had ended thanks to the two constitutional amendments passing changing the governor’s emergency powers.
I’m not sure what the Philly School District is doing here, and I’m not going to look it up, but I wouldn’t be surprised if people sued over this order.
Music is good. I don’t really like Chicago except for those songs.
It shouldn’t take $20K to be needle stick resistant, a required feature in San Fran.
I’m sure it is because they had to get someone to do totally new drawings and pay a fabricator to figure out the best way to manufacture it. One offs are expensive.
“Penny ante shit.”
Hahaha. So true.
That shit won’t end until the parents rebel. And by rebel, I mean, show up at the school district offices in large numbers with bad attitudes.
Don’t hold your breath. In the 1950s, the citizens were so fed up with one party (GOP) rule with out of control corruption, crime waves, police brutality, and crumbling infrastructure, they voted in the Dilworth reform Democrats. Seventy years later, the one party (Democrat) rule faces the same problems but today’s Philly citizens go wherever the sheep dogs drive them.
So masking Pre K, the people least likely to contract or suffer serious illness from COVID, is mandatory? The people most in need of social exposure and learning how to interpret human facial expressions?
are these people evil?

Car with speakers mounted on roof cause noise complaints in three towns
The bright yellow car pulled into a Wilmington parking lot after 1 a.m., the half-dozen speakers mounted to its roof blaring, according to town police. The car’s license plate, from New Hampshire, read “STATICK.” In three separate towns, residents phoned the police with noise complaints.
It was roughly 1:30 a.m. Monday when Wilmington Police responded to the lot, in the area of Woburn Street and Eames Street, after multiple calls from local residents. Officers found a 22-year-old New Hampshire man, his sun-yellow vehicle and six “full sized” speakers affixed to its roof, they said.
*notes pic*
If the townsfolk summarily executed that guy on the side of the road I’d shed not a tear. That shit’s ridiculous.
To what end? What was he blaring? Political scteeches? Rap? Kenny Chesney? Inquiring minds want to know.
I was listening to the siren song of roaring modified exhausts rolling up and down the street again all day today and mulling over these kind of creatures – for the life of me I just don’t get what compels certain people to be giant assholes for no other reason than to be giant assholes.
Because they’re giant assholes? Just a guess.
They think it will get them chicks.
I know, stupid, but there it is.
And yet there are chicks who will put out for that kind of guy.
And they’re probably right.

“Hispanic voters in Texas overwhelmingly said they are American (43%) or Texan (23%) first, before Latino or Hispanic (21%). So yes, despite all of the cultural forces of intersectionalism that are trying to Balkanize and otherwise divide the nation, that is a serious show of unity and patriotism.”
That’s something that almost warms the cold, empty area where my heart should be.

Facebook is obsessed with showing me prog memes in general for some reason, but especially those of the choochoo train collectivist loving fantasy variety lately.
I am not impressed with the tech giants ability to advertise, to say the least, given what I see on Youtube and Facebook on a daily basis.
They should be advertising the latest in Firsting tactical gear and equipment to me. The latest advances should be highlighted. I mean, I don’t need any of that overpriced crap, but at least it would make sense.
A real Firster would know how to use adblocking software.
You can ask your sister how much of a real Firster I am.
I don’t have a sister. But I have had your mom.
My birthing mother was a giant inter-dimensional serpent of immense power who The Great Firster used as a conduit for my conception. The notion that you could mate with it and live to tell the tale is completely absurd.
Go home, MikeS. You may or may not be drunk, but you definitely suck.
I am drunk. Drunk with lust for space snakes.
Gaaaaaay.
unless you are advertising on Facebook to sell your firsting tactical gear, no one will see it.
However i would enjoy a article on firsting tactical gear on Wensday Lunchtime.
I hear that! I’ve been getting some Facebook ads (third party) as well as FB groups “I might like” that baffle me.
They became convinced I was pregnant after I shopped for baby stuff for my step-granddaughter, then decided I am really into videos of baby hippos, then pro-choice stuff (?!?), then toenail fungus and teeth whitening products!!
I used Eventbrite to sign up for a firearms instructor course and an emergency first aid course. Since then, Eventbrite has been sending me ‘curated events’ such as ‘Thereputic Yoga for All Bodies’ and ‘2022 National Anti-Racism Teach-In’.
I’m sorry to be the one to tell you this, Eventbrite, but your AI is…special.
I can’t help but wonder if it isn’t being done intentionally. They know they are advertising this shit to people who not only couldn’t give two fucks about it, but who actively loathe it. It’s a form of a propaganda.
Or it could be simple incompetence.
Incompetent propaganda
They promised their advertisers X number of push invites.
I understand the general Facebook hate but I find it a useful tool to stay in touch, share pictures and arrange snowmobiling trips. The only friends I have on it are people I know and either interact in the real world with or they are remote friends I want to keep in touch with. Recently they’ve changed the “suggested” posts system and now the user has no control over it. For some reason (rolleyes), all the posts Facebook suggests are from commies. Since they are posts and not ads, Adblock doesn’t work against them. I did follow a gun meme group and that slowed down the proggy posts for a while.
Why does anyone give M Night Shamalamadingdong money to make movies??

It seems every full moon lately is a “SuperMoon”.
I don’t recall this happening in years past.
I think you snd I both know why this is.
Climate change.
I was going to go with lunar inflation.
So SuperMoons are either transitory, not happening, or good for you.
we need a short list of everything that is NOT climate change. It’ll be easier to keep track of, plus the journos won’t have to wear out the macro keys.
I was going blame Trump.

Good morning all.
Looking forward to the finale of a whole weekend to ourselves(the wife isn’t working this weekend, for the first time a month). It’s been much better. I hope her business picks up so she can quit her post time work. We’re getting closer, which is exciting.
A whole weekend? Sounds great! In the same boat, for different reasons. On vacation, arrived Friday. The two spawn come with us every year, but this year they took a detour to SmashCon in VA, so we got the weekend to ourselves (the boys will be arriving late tonight with a couple.of friends).
Very nice. ‘Ourselves’ includes my son, but I’ll take it. He still has naps, which gives us some alone time.
Mornin’, miscreants!
Joisy shore week kicked off with a splendiferous Saturday baking on the sand.
One minor nit, so far. The coffee maker here is one of those newfangled units which comes without an actual pot; instead, you put your cup underneath the brewing chamber, pressing it against a button which releases the brewed coffee. There is room for an eight-inch cup there; my coffee mugs are about 12 inches high. So I have to fill a “proper” cup and then transfer the contents to my mug. Blecch.
Sounds tough. 😉
How’s the water? It always seemed that the water never gets warm in the northern north Atlantic?
Over here the pools and gulf get too warm for my liking, but that just means that when I swim in the ‘winter’ I get them all to myself.
The water’s too damn cold! (Hmm, sounds like a good slogan for my gubernatorial campaign). Every now and then we’ll get upper ’70s, which is perfection, but this year it’s around 70. Good for dipping your toes in but no more.
Good morning, ‘patzie, Lack, Ted’S, and NA! A pleasant, if partly cloudy morning here at Tranq Base, but the radar shows rain bearing down on us, just creeping over the state line from Indiana. Not unwelcome, as long as it isn’t bad enough to drive me inside. (With the metal roof over TB, it would take a lot.)
I know exactly the style of coffeemaker of which you speak, ‘patzie! Had one in our hotel room in Olean, and have had the same in other hotels and in our OH state park lodge rooms. More often than not, I consider the coffee prepared by such a device to be just a “starter cup” – just enough to give you the strength to stagger down to the lobby where they keep the REAL coffee.
Good morning GT. Glad to not have such a bad coffee habit, one cup of pure instant coffee will work for me.
As unrefined as my palate is, I’ve been spoiled on whole beans procured from local roasters and ground the night before brewing. Of course, I muck it up with sweetener and creamer, which would probably make the roasters weep if they knew.
“Of course, I muck it up with sweetener and creamer”
#metoo. Been doing it that way since Abuela was filling my bottle with it when I was an infant (so I’m told). Don’t care what the h8ters think.
Nobody needs more than 8 ounces of coffee. Are you not aware that the world is burning?
Good Morning, Ne’er-do-wells.
I NEED MORE THAN 8 OUNCES OF COFFEE!!!
Good morning, TARDy!
But what about the cLImATe cHaNGe??? Why do you the earth and the children? Mornin’, Glibred!
That reminds me, I forgot to bring my chocolate biscotti with me. *grumbles*

This is what happens when you don’t consume enough coffee.
The climate can go full tranny for all I care as long as I get my morning coffee. Children are annoying, and Mother Earth is a bitch.

Morning all,
A little foggy here in Podunkville. Actually quite foggy. Cool yesterday, one can see the temps moderating towards the seasonal change.
Good morning, 4(20)! Having visited MI’s UP in late summer, I can well imagine how early autumn arrives in northern MN.
