Implacable foes
I was a bit worried that I would not be able to post the Links today. My IP is … unreliable at times, lately. Of course, today being a WFH day, I was a bit more concerned about being able to actually work (hi Rufus!). However, the sunspot activity, squirrel attacks, Russian Elon Musk’s interference with Our Democracy, or whatever was causing, it has subsided.
So here are some links about the clownshow we inhabit on this Earth.
- Oops. Hope none of you had any $ is this flop.
- Look for Pudding Cup Joe to take credit, somehow. On a serious note – things could get real bad, real fast in China, and lots of (mostly innocent) blood spilled will be the answer, one way or the other.
- A bold strategy, Cotton.
- Plenty available for hanging off your belt!
Meh.
Comment section is yours.
You sound so excited.
“Unprecedented protests and calls for Chinese leader Xi Jinping to step down may back the Chinese government into a corner where they can’t look like there are giving in to protests, thereby slowing down China’s much anticipated reopening,” he said in a research note published Monday.
I think these protests might be a big deal.
The festival features decorated braids of onions, mulled wine and garlic bread for visitors.
Garlic bread and mulled wine. Yum.
I’m reserving hope on this one. Yeah, it seems pretty big — but they crushed Hong Kong pretty quickly when the world was distracted, and I see no signs the world really gives a crap what happens inside of China after the camps, mistreatment of Christians / Muslims / anyone not suitably Chinese over the last few years — so it really boils down to if Xi still commands the military (maybe also the countryside… but definitely the military). And not really seeing signs of that shaking.
So the cynical part of me is expecting this to end with tanks. And its a damned shame… but that’s what I expect. I certainly would not mind being pleasantly surprised.
I don’t get what the protestors are mad about. They already have socialism, what could they possibly have to complain about?
I’ve had neither, but would like to try them. I assume I’d like the bread more than the wine.
You’ve never had garlic bread? for a firster you’re quite the Philistine.
I can’t even with that. Shit, Mike, go make some. It’s easy.
I’m trying to wrap my head around this. You’ve seriously never had either?
On this note: At Ye Olde Local Brewpub a month or so ago, a guy a few seats down from me at the bar asked about the pretzels on the specials menu. They have soft pretzels regularly on their Fall seasonal menu. The bartender explained what they were since the guy seemed clueless. He said, “I’ve never had soft pretzels before, I’ll give them a try.” I was scratching my head since he was my age or a little older, and I was wondering how he got through life without trying soft pretzels.
People think we are experiencing national decline now but Hot Sam Pretzels went defunct in 1995, we’ve been a doomed nation ever since. If you can’t go to the mall and get a soft pretzel covered in salt and mustard ( with the cheese-like stuff on special occasions) do you really have a Country?
Up here is God’s Country, we’ve had Pretzel Maker for decades. Still going strong, and still expensive.
Ha, there’s one in the local mall where Sam’s used to be.
Revised complaint- If your soft pretzel store doesn’t have a midget in a Chef’s toque for a mascot do you really have a Country?
Ah. In that case, I agree full heartedly.
I thought it meant bread baked with garlic. Like onion bread.
It’s usually made with Italian bread. Mix nearly pureed garlic with butter, spread over bread, and put under broiler. Alternatively, you can saute chopped garlic in olive oil and pour it over toasted bread. Using both butter and olive oil together is also common.
No, I know. I’ve had it innumerable times. It’s best with melted mozzarella on top. I’ve always called it garlic toast, and when I read garlic bread I pictured bread made with garlic as an ingredient.
Well, there is that too — usually made from pizza dough.
Ha-ha. The wife just made spaghetti and garlic toast for supper.
I’ve never had mulled wine. I’ve never even made mulled wine. If anyone tried to order it, I’d threaten them with a left hook for trying to give the joint atmosphere.
You’re not Pissed off Nick.

I’m not really a festival guy, too many rapscallions causing trouble.

“This action reflects longstanding U.S. policy to provide targeted sanctions relief based on concrete steps that alleviate the suffering of the Venezuelan people and support the restoration of democracy,” the Treasury Department said.
Our government is all about the little people.
Biden is definitely well into the advanced demented stage or he’d realize they already have communism in Venezuela, economy wrecked, nothing left to do except sing the praises and finish the job in USA.
I just assume he wants to help prop back up his fellow travelers until the Global Reset is complete.
Some 30 tons of onions were sold on Monday, which is an improvement on last year but around half the amount sold in the record year of 2014.
Seems like there are several layers to this story.

Fauci’s Seven Hour Deposition
The transcript is not yet available and no reporters were allowed. But from the Attorneys General who brought the suit, the plaintiffs in the case and their attorney, and other parties to the lawsuit against the Biden administration, we have some information about the deposition provided by Anthony “I am the Science” Fauci. He has been the face of the pandemic response and stands accused of colluding with Big Tech to suppress dissent in violation of the First Amendment.
The question of whether the deposition was to be public was itself the subject of legal attention. The Department of Justice filed to block all recording and personally identifiable information for fear of public harassment, and this condition was granted. As a result, we have no transcript (yet) and one senses a great skittishness even from those who were there to explain the fullness of what transpired. Major national media have shown no interest in getting the story.
Do love the Louisiana AG’s quippy summary.
Still want that weasel (Fauci, not the La AG) behind bars and sans any retirement benefits.

NH Democrats drop Manchester Ward 6 challenge
New Hampshire Democrats have abandoned their legal challenges in the Manchester Ward 6 recount, ending their bid to keep the candidate who received the most votes from taking the seat.
Democratic attorney Bill Christie informed his Republican counterparts Sunday night that his clients, Ward 6 candidate Maxine Mosley and Senate Minority Leader Donna Soucy (D-Manchester) would not be going forward with their appeal to the Ballot Law Commission as planned.

On Monday morning, lawyers for Republican David Walker and incumbent State Rep. Chuck Grassie, D, mutually agreed to withdraw their appeals to the Ballot Law Commission, which was set to examine and rule on individual challenged ballots Monday.
The race was tied, with the candidates receiving 970 votes each following a recount.

Lesson 36: “An open mind is like a castle gate with its gates unbarred and unguarded” – We understand that people can be brainwashed. We know human belief is a product that can be manufactured by malevolent actors. Why then do we never apply these lessons to public opinion generally, or to ourselves? When it comes to exposing our minds to new information caution is required. Inquiry can be healthy, but ideas themselves contain temptations towards narcissism, indulgence, and corruption. To properly navigate these hurdles a mind must be fortified or not approach the task at all. As the inquisition says, “Blessed is the mind too small to doubt”

Netherlands to forcefully shut down 3,000 farms
They are literally going to seize the land, evict the owners who have lived there for generations, and use the land to build housing for third world immigrants. Taking some of the nicest scenery in Europe and turning into a slum ruled by elites.
WTF??
The Dutch government has been prepping for this for a while. They’re completely out of control.
I will not shed a single tear if the people revolt and kill every single one of those evil SOBs.
But I suspect I won’t have to anyway,
I’ll throw a fucking party.
You have to keep the useless eaters together somewhere, easier to starve them there. And now that we’ve eliminated all the farmland… /Klaus and Bildo
This is insane. Absolutely fucking insane.

I saw it on the Guardian but it was paywalled.
It’s best for sane society when everything on Guardian is paywalled, forever…
OK, I see it on a couple sites. One of them mentions “building homes” but nothing about “immigrants”.
And yes, it does mention “nitrogen minister”.
The Dutch don’t need that many “homes”.
Some of the most productive farmland in the world.
And its being taken to make what amount to government projects. I doubt the Dutch are reproducing at such a blistering pace that they need them, so do the math.
They’re trying to give the impression that they’re giving the land to Gaia but yeah that’s probably BS.
It is. And most of them are true believers.
In Satan.
They need more guns
We have lots of them. But we still allowed lockdowns, out of control government, rampant illegal immigration and mutilated children.
I’m thinking there is more to the equation.
Said elites: Ah! Now you see the point of the exercise!
And yeah — I’m not one to preach violence, but I certainly would understand an uprising and some repurposing of lampposts right about now.
As far as I know, nothing bad has ever come from a large unaccountable government seizing large amounts of farmland and punishing the people who produce the nation’s food.

New York Fed President John Williams said Monday he sees signs inflation is starting to come down, but says there is still more work to do for the Fed to reach its goal of 2% inflation.
“Overall demand for labor and services still far exceeds available supply, resulting in broad-based inflation, which will take longer to bring back down,” Williams said in a speech Monday at the Economic Club of New York.
Williams added there is “still more work to do” as the Fed continues its rate hike campaign to tame price inflation. “Further tightening of monetary policy should help restore balance between demand and supply and bring inflation back to 2 percent over the next few years,” Williams added.
Until you figure out how to keep Biden from bouncing checks, it’s going to be tough.
Great composer, Not so much a Fed President. You’ll also have to keep Biden’s handlers from choking off the supply of food, energy, and transportation specifically as well as making it harder for companies to produce goods and services overall.
Police also learned that no clothing was recovered from the hotel room.
Something tells me the owner isn’t really going to want them back.
Something tells me “he” lied about leaving the clothes in the room.
Williams said he expects core goods prices to come down going forward, pointing to combination of slowing global demand, improving supply chains, and falling import prices from the strong dollar.
“I expect cooling global demand and steady supply improvements to result in declining inflation for goods that rely heavily on commodities, as well as for those that have been heavily affected by supply chain bottlenecks,” Williams said.
Does this guy seriously think commodity prices are going to fall?
Don’t worry, Brandon is going to meet a leader somewhere, sometime soon, and fist bump them. That works every time.

Spectacular Cold
In case you science deniers need some splainin on this, that would be ‘weather’.
Just in time for the natural gas shortages?
It’s been a long time since we had the types of winters we had in the 70’s and 80’s. I remember feet of snow, dangerously cold wind chills, and not seeing the grass for months. Our town used to flood the park and let you skate on it. In recent years, I’ve wanted to find a frozen pond or something to skate on outside, and it hasn’t been cold enough for long enough for that to happen.
I won’t forget that winter of 77. Ohio River froze over so that people drove pickup trucks across it. Snowdrifts on both sides of the road so that it was a one lane tunnel. Have not seen anything like that since for sure.
For us near Chicago it was the Blizzard of 79.
And all summer long I kicked around the idea of buying a snowmobile.
I remember being able to walk on top of like 2-3ft of snow and it was froze so hard you wouldn’t break through it. One of my cousins got snowed in staying with me and my grandparents and there wasn’t any way to get out of the country road we lived on for days. We were bored and I remember I had some acid stashed I bought at a concert in Cincy, so I pulled it out and we did it. Holy fuck, my cousin was so fucked up and I had to keep him in my bedroom for like 24 hours so he wouldn’t freak out my grandparents, lol. I told them he was really sick and I was taking him food and drinks and stuff.
During the 1978 blizzard I was stuck at my grandparent’s house for a week while my parents assisted at a red cross shelter (the high school).
Things around Dayton and especially rural Montgomery county where I was were at a stand-still. The snow was its own problem but the wind-chills I think made it actually dangerous.
In MN, this is known as “a normal winter.”
Right?

Attention Chafed (and GlibFit):
Man Hits Fitness Goal Of Only Gaining 9 Pounds Over Thanksgiving Weekend
Oh ye of little faith
Precision fermentation is a refined form of brewing, a means of multiplying microbes to create specific products. It has been used for many years to produce drugs and food additives. But now, in several labs and a few factories, scientists are developing what could be a new generation of staple foods.
The developments I find most interesting use no agricultural feedstocks. The microbes they breed feed on hydrogen or methanol – which can be made with renewable electricity – combined with water, carbon dioxide and a very small amount of fertiliser. They produce a flour that contains roughly 60% protein, a much higher concentration than any major crop can achieve (soy beans contain 37%, chick peas, 20%). When they are bred to produce specific proteins and fats, they can create much better replacements than plant products for meat, fish, milk and eggs. And they have the potential to do two astonishing things.
The first is to shrink to a remarkable degree the footprint of food production. One paper estimates that precision fermentation using methanol needs 1,700 times less land than the most efficient agricultural means of producing protein: soy grown in the US. This suggests it might use, respectively, 138,000 and 157,000 times less land than the least efficient means: beef and lamb production. Depending on the electricity source and recycling rates, it can also enable radical reductions in water use and greenhouse gas emissions. Because the process is contained, it avoids the spillover of waste and chemicals into the wider world caused by farming.
All you people whining about farmers getting kicked off their land can just STFU. We don’t need farmers or their antiquated forms of agriculture. Accept the bounty of SCIENCE!
Mmmm…. Great Reset hardtack. Everyone jump in line.
Good news, citizen. The soypaste ration has been increased by 5%!
“They produce a flour”
No, they don’t.
If livestock production is replaced by this technology, it creates what could be the last major opportunity to prevent Earth systems collapse, namely ecological restoration on a massive scale. By rewilding the vast tracts now occupied by livestock (by far the greatest of all human land uses) or by the crops used to feed them – as well as the seas being trawled or gill-netted to destruction – and restoring forests, wetlands, savannahs, natural grasslands, mangroves, reefs and sea floors, we could both stop the sixth great extinction and draw down much of the carbon we have released into the atmosphere.
Hallelujah!
We can convert the earth to a giant petting zoo.

By rewilding the vast tracts now occupied by livestock (by far the greatest of all human land uses)
I’m always perplexed by the livestock argument. There are about 90 million cows/steers/bulls in the United States today compared to the population of 60 million North American bison in pre-Industrial America. Given the increased size and greater range requirements of bison, I just don’t see how this makes any sort of sense. I guess I’ll take the same position I do with gun grabbers, they are liars who hate you and want you to die.
If it hadn’t been for Indigenous folks decimating herds at jumps, and eating tasty bison meat, the herds probably would have exceeded the 90 million mark. Of course, that means more predators too. We need more wolf packs roaming Missoula, Bozeman, and Billings.
Controversial energy official charged with stealing woman’s luggage at MSP
Freak.
I thought Democracy dies in darkness?
Congressman Larry Craig had an incident in a restroom stall at MSP some years back. What is it about that place?
The fourth objection has more weight: the potential for these new technologies to be captured by a few corporations. The risk is real and we should engage with it now, demanding a new food economy that’s radically different from the existing one, in which extreme consolidation has already taken place. But this is not an argument against the technology itself, any more than the dangerous concentration in the global grain trade (90% of it in the hands of four corporations) is an argument against trading grain, without which billions would starve.
Noooooo! Teh kkkorporashunz!
It should all be free, and owned by The People (and managed by the Ministry of Plenty).
I have a different proposal. How about ending the currency inflation which incentivizes the consolidation trend in agriculture?

Was shit like this always happening and we just didn’t hear about it?
Balenciaga released a press release stating: “We’re so very sorry shit like this keeps happening. Please keep writing lots of articles that include multiple pictures of our designs when we do this again.”
It just seems like there is all this pedo shit everywhere now. I don’t remember this ten years ago.
Always there but they’ve gotten bold (too bold too fast IMHO, if they’d waited another decade they might have been home free).
I was being Glib. Yes, there is a lot more pedo shit. They seem to be testing the waters and laying the groundwork for normalization of it. Judging how fast we went from transsexualism being a psychiatric condition to being something we must celebrate, it can’t be far away before MSNBC is telling us how Pedos are people, too. I wonder what color they will get on the alphabet soup flag.
They’re already abusing children by giving them sex changes, including hormones and mutilations. You already cannot get much sicker than that, but they will.
All of this shit has been normalized by the woke left and the Biden admin. Look at the story behind the sick fuck luggage thief, ze is into fucking dogs and shit.
Didn’t this happen in a lot of civilizations right before they went into the dustbin of history?
Bit of a stretch ‘features a book’ is doing a lot of work here. It’s one book in a stack in the background of the photo, and it’s not even the book with the supposedly ‘pedo’ images, which to me look like they are intended to horrify/sicken the viewer not arouse.
In PR, any response is a good response.
My bad- I meant “product placement”.
Moral relativists took over everything. (well relativists except when it comes to politics)
This is my biggest problem with the cosmotarians. They took live and let live and turned it into “We shouldn’t judge anybody.”
It’s all very selective. If Balenciaga did something low key racist, all the blue checks and celebrities would be up in arms, their business deals would be cancelled, etc.
Judging people based on their sexual proclivities (unless they’re bog standard cishetero) is definitely off-limits.
