The Dean wanted to see me. “Dr. Candy, we need you to take charge of all the glass recycling research projects here. Sustainability is at the center of our school’s mission, and we haven’t been able to have a unified and focused management. You’re the person to do it. It’s a 30% increase in pay…”
My first question was, “Why is glass recycling important? Are we running out of sand?”
Then out loud I said, “Thanks, Dean, I’d love to do it,” while running the compensation numbers through my head. The fact that NPR females love themselves some recycling eco awareness also did not escape my attention.
Speaking of recycling, birthdays today including the guy who invented the cigarette coupon; William Shakespeare; the original relentless self-promoter; a real hottie; the quintessentially American filmmaker; a piece of shit who was the architect of American socialism; a physicist who was actually an interesting person (and I still have a well-thumbed copy of his quantum mechanics book); a piece of shit who is a disgrace to pieces of shit; one of SP’s heroes; the guy who made first contact with alien intelligence; the Nobelist who wasn’t a nudist; a pioneer of slow and plodding movies; and a chick who got famous for sticking a crucifix in her twat.
And speaking of twats, here’s some Links.
Just in time for me hitting the dating world.
Or here’s another idea, Ray: go fuck yourself.
This is impossible because California has common sense laws. Must be fake news.
Again, impossible, since violence is a right wing MAGA thing.
We may be seeing the last of Beetlejuice. Not that anyone else will be better. That city is a fucking basket case.

One of the wonderful things about YouTube is the resurrection of old concert footage that we would never have seen otherwise. Like this rock classic. Old Man is happy.
First you do the recycling, then you get the money, then you get the women.
After probably way too many times watching Upstart Crow I:
a) Expected Marlowe
b) Read that as “William Shakespeare, the original relentless self-promoter”
Neither of which feels wrong to me. 😉
Kind of curious now, OMWC — from everything I’ve heard – glass recycling is wonky because the energy requirements don’t work out. Still true? Something we’re missing? Doesn’t matter because of the NPR Lady cache so shut up already? Good morning in any event.
The economics of glass recycling are highly attractive relative to production from raw materials, once you figure in the subsidies.
I said that with a straight face. This is progress.
The NPR date prep goes well!

I know of a municipal glass recycling project which was a huge money sink. And they couldn’t find anybody to take the crushed glass. I guess it would be considered a raging success in public finance circles.

“Families across America have experienced major losses from climate change, starting most prominently with Hurricane Katrina in 2001, until recently, with continuous summers of fire devastating our western coast.”
I was told Katrina was due to racism.
“Print, electronic, and social media should be used creatively to reinforce these messages and efforts.”
“used creatively”
Ignoring climate change is more racist — therefore we’ll get more Katrinas… or some such bullpucky.
Do better, America.
Katrina was 2005, also let people clear out the underbrush and Cali won’t burn annually ya damned idjit.
Forget it; he’s rolling.
I remember the 2001 Hurricane Katrina well.
I thought it was Darth Cheney’s weather control device.
Hurricanes never happened before climate change. It is known.
If only there was a very energy dense energy production method with over 70 years of research and actual facilities where the waste can be contained and potentially recycled and with by products useful for medicine and space travel.
If only.
The fact that NPR females love themselves some recycling eco awareness also did not escape my attention.

Surprise Anal Sex Act
Well, they couldn’t be honest and call it the “Lipstick on the Green New Deal Pig Act”, could they?
So Green Ham instead of eggs?
That’s what you get after they ban refrigeration.
The inflation creation act is the climate change of legislation.
It is likely my inner (small c) conservative coming to the fore… but given how these cosplaying commie / anarchists (I believe they have both and are really just useful idiot brownshirts for the Progressives in any event) have effectively declared war on civil society in general and the state / city governments in particular, they’re pretty lucky I’m not either mayor of Atlanta or the Georgia governor. I’d be declaring them a literal insurrection, calling out the state National Guard regiments and giving them one shot to surrender or be shot as armed combatants.
Which is probably what they want / think will spark their uprising or some stupidity. I think they’re wrong and that it is way past time for society to defend itself.
Which is also probably stupid given the rest of me is black pilled regarding government and especially Federal “police” actions, I know… but this one seems much more clear cut. And since I have no power and no influence on the situation, I don’t think it hurts to indulge my thoughts just a tad….
And unsurprising how much that article takes the protesters’ side as the gospel truth.

Speaking of old film comedies…I have this bad habit of falling asleep with the teevee on. This morning (the bedroom teevee is pretty much permanently tuned to the old movie channel) I awoke to Return to Peyton Place. Wow. Talk about your cartoonish stereotypes.

You don’t want to hear about boiler maintenance in English monitors circa 1873? What kind of naval history aficionado are you?

“These Walmart locations — in Colorado, Connecticut and New York — join Walmart stores in Maine, New Jersey and Vermont, where single-use bags have already been eliminated for shoppers at checkout registers, or those picking up online orders. (Single-use paper bags are still the default for delivery orders in most of these states, and plastic bags remain available “as needed” in the produce and meat sections, to prevent cross-contamination.)
“Eliminating single-use bags in Connecticut is part of our effort to reduce waste,” said Jane Ewing, senior vice president of Walmart Sustainability, in a statement provided to CT-based WTNH. “Our customers want to be engaged on this journey, and we remain committed to making the sustainable choice the everyday choice.””

No mention that paper bags are worse for the environment.
It’s the journey that’s important.
Virtue relies not on logic!
Keep telling yourself that. And keep talking like an alien – people love that.
Ya, CO got rid of plastic bags cuz CA did. The Leg voted to do all things CA does. I hate this state.
WA waves hello. For $0.08 each we can buy a plastic bag at check out.
Some stores are selling them for $.10 (?) but most have just got rid of them.
The state of Ohio banned cities and counties from banning plastic bags. The local press decried it as the Republican controlled legislature being in the pocket of big oil and big plastic bag. One chain (Giant Eagle), has stopped using single use plastic bags in the county I live in, so I’ve shifted my shopping accordingly. The upscale, organic, local chain (Heinen’s) was one of the retailers strongly against the plastic bag ban back when the county passed it (then put enforcement on hold due to the ‘vid).
And VA is copying CA’s dreamy EV laws.
Copycat law is how all grift together.

Already, Democratic leaders are revving up their message that the new House GOP majority wants to put those programs on the chopping block.
“From rising home costs, interest rates, cuts to Social Security, Medicare and more, it’s clear who will actually pay the price for gratuitous partisan politics: American families,” Schumer said in a statement.
Newly elected House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries (N.Y.) tweeted Friday: “Social Security is not negotiable.”
Stay away from cliffs, Granny.
That’s Democrat speak for “this is what Republicans are going to do, and even if they don’t actually do it, we’ll blame them for it”.
Republicans want an insufficient continuation or increase in government spending. They are basically anti-government terrorists.
Until it is.

No, the Nobelist, so Sioux City. Airport code SUX. Site of one of, if not the, worst passenger airline disaster.
It’s a lobby card from this Paul Newman movie, specifically the scene when he escapes into a meeting of Swedish nudists. Unfortunately I couldn’t find the scene on Youtube.
The movie is one of those that’s more entertaining than good, with the main plot being Edward G. Robinson kidnapped and replaced by a doppelgänger and Newman trying to solve the mystery and save Robinson.

Dan Swygart, 26, has been romantically linked to Shauna Rae Lesick, 23, after they featured on her reality TV show in the USA.
The Briton has been accused of being a ‘creep’ and being attracted to 3ft 10in tall Shauna ‘because she looks like a kid’.”

Now we’re getting somewhere.
He was a trained protest medic just trying to help people by killing cops.
I get really pissed off when assholes make me defend fucking cops. But… you shoot at a group of police, you should probably expect return fire.
I get annoyed when they try to use protest medical training as a shield like they are non-participants just there to treat injuries. You aren’t like military combat medics.
Oh, they think they are. There is an org called “veterans of domestic wars” where anti-fa punks can network about their glory days.
If I ever fire on a group of cops, I’m going to run a dog at them – and walk away without a scratch.

What we need is for President Biden to take a page from President Kennedy’s playbook and call for a Moonshot on climate change. It is imperative that he take control of the national narrative, and emphasize to the public the grandeur and scale of this obvious national security challenge.
Grandeur?
He should go full FDR and nationalize Big Oil and just shut it all down.
People will be okay with burning sticks and dog shit to heat their homes, once he explains it to them properly.
“take a page from President Kennedy’s playbook”

In the end, what’s truly irresponsible is for the government to allow the callous disregard of classified documents to continue. While we wait for the special counsel investigations to play out, it’s clear the system of safeguarding documents needs to be reformed.
Regardless of the political implications for 2024, it’s worth remembering that these papers are not “cool keepsakes” or sports car manuals – they’re matters of national security.
Blah blah blah OBEY.
No, what’s truly irresponsible is the grotesque overclassification of government documents through lethargy or “cover your ass”-ness, drastically diminishing public oversight of government actions and feeding the belief that these people are our overseers and betters and that we can’t be trusted with truth.

Ruja Ignatova strode onto the stage in a flowing burgundy ball gown adorned with black sparkles. Beams of light flashed, fireballs erupted and Alicia Keys’ “Girl on Fire” blared through the speakers.
“Looks like a girl, but she’s a flame. So bright, she can burn your eyes – better look the other way,” the song crooned as a beaming Ignatova thanked the cheering crowd at London’s Wembley Arena.
That was in June 2016, when cryptocurrency was an emerging buzzword and investors were scrambling to cash in. Ignatova called herself the “Cryptoqueen” and touted her company, OneCoin, as a lucrative rival to Bitcoin in the growing cryptocurrency market.
“In two years, nobody will speak about Bitcoin anymore,” she said, as investors applauded and whistled.
Sixteen months later, Ignatova boarded a plane in Sofia, Bulgaria, and vanished. She hasn’t been seen since.
Authorities say OneCoin was a pyramid scheme that defrauded people out of more than $4 billion as Ignatova convinced investors in the US and around the globe to throw fistfuls of cash at her company. Federal prosecutors describe OneCoin as one of the largest international fraud schemes ever perpetrated.

The comparison to Russia is neither provable nor relevant.
They should be focusing on the fact that Britain is turning into an authoritarian nightmare.
It really wouldn’t surprise me if true, but yea…you can’t take numbers coming out of Russia or China on this sort of thing at face value.
I will say that the things the Western countries go after you for are objectively more ridiculous.
They really aren’t different and what the West is doing is objectively worse. It is more on the totalitarian side of things. They are using ideology, specifically ones that reject or attack objective reality, as proxies for overt political loyalty. What Russia does is basically just shitty authoritarianism.
Noted legal expert and exemplary human being weighs in
Mickey Rourke vehemently defended Alec Baldwin after “The Departed” star was charged with involuntary manslaughter in the 2021 death of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
The 70-year-old actor took to Instagram on Friday to share his thoughts after New Mexico prosecutors announced that Baldwin, 64, would face a criminal charge on Thursday. Hutchins, 42, was killed by a live round from a gun that Baldwin was holding while rehearsing a scene for the Western movie “Rust.”
“I usually never put my 2 cents in about what happens on someone’s movie set,” the Academy Award nominee began the lengthy caption of his post, which featured a photo of Baldwin.
Yeah, okay. Case closed.
“Usually never”??
That doesn’t stop them from telling us about gun safety and how only the government should have them.

She added that the legislation has a “chilling” effect on educators who will likely refuse to teach such things, erring on the side of caution in order to keep their jobs.
“I don’t really see where the solution is. I mean, aside from the erosion of traditional public education, it just feels like there’s an erosion of democracy,” Vaughn told Insider. “When you’re choosing that teachers can’t teach history or can’t have inclusive classrooms that support all of their students or you don’t want anything taught that resembles socialism — even though that’s a basic form of government, you should be studying all of them — then I don’t really understand how that’s different than fascism,” she added.
She sounds like an education major.
“even though that’s a basic form of government”
It’s a basic form of tyranny. But beyond that, maybe don’t teach kids to be racist towards each other.
“then I don’t really understand how that’s different than fascism”
I’d love to know how you define fascism.
I’d love to know how you define fascism.

XX had a high school history teacher who taught socialism. Rather, he taught that its implementation had deliberately killed more people than the holocaust, and was an economic system of abject poverty, misery, and death.
My sophomore year English teacher included Anthem in her curriculum
XX read Anthem on her own when she was 13-14. I mean, it was there in the family bookcase to read.
No one is banning about teaching about socialism. The goal is to prevent you from extolling its virtues and those of the Marxist offshoots like critical race theory in the classroom, you mendacious cunt.

Hatred and bigotry
Turkey has condemned the burning of a copy of the Quran during a protest in Sweden, describing it as a “vile act”.
It said the Swedish government’s decision to allow the protest to go ahead was “completely unacceptable”.
It comes amid growing diplomatic tension between the two countries.
Turkey, which had appealed to Sweden to stop the protest, earlier called off a visit by Sweden’s Defence Minister, Pal Jonson, saying the trip had “lost its significance and meaning”.
——-
Muslims consider the Quran the sacred word of God and view any intentional damage or show of disrespect towards it as deeply offensive.
Turkey is a majority Muslim country. Its Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement denouncing the act, which it said happened despite “repeated warnings”.
“Permitting this anti-Islam act, which targets Muslims and insults our sacred values, under the guise of ‘freedom of expression’ is completely unacceptable,” it said.
It added that the burning of the Quran was another example of the “alarming” extent to which Islamophobia, racism and discrimination had reached Europe, and it called on the Swedish government to take “necessary measures”.
Sweden’s Foreign Minister, Tobias Billstrom, called the act “appalling”.
Like squabbling children.
If Firster’s can tolerate the burning of Firstonominomicons in the name of free speech, the Muslims can deal.
“Repeated warnings”
Or what?
They wont be allowed to join NATO
Where have you gone, Kemal Atatürk?
“If we call you Türkiye will you shut up about it?”
Same as the Ukes with “Keev”.
“under the guise of ‘freedom of expression’”
Go fuck yourself.
It’s interesting that the proggie media is capable of admitting there was violence involved when it comes to their internal squabbles, but what they criticize is the attempt to limit the violence’s scope (particularly keeping it out of the more upscale neighborhoods).
If this is your record of achievements, you kind of failed. Oh, and she can own covid lockdowns which are probably still popular in Chicago. Crime? Up by any objective look at it. Corruption? Probably as rampant as ever. She’s playing the race card and the Trump cards against her opponents. She doesn’t have the support of two of the most influential public sector unions. She looks fucked to me.

Family is claiming the gun was secured and the kid got the gun safe open without their knowledge. He had come to school with bullets the week before and probably got a lot of peer attention for it which would encourage him to go further.
None of this has been reported in the broader media of course.
The kid *is* black (or at least definitely not white).
I haven’t seen pics.
This is the one I’ve seen floating around.

Don’t know if it’s 100% accurate though so take with a grain of salt.
If he were black the MSM would ignore that story.
Hello Ohio Glibs!
I’ll be between Columbus and Cleveland from 6/20 – 6/22. Most of the time I’ll be insanely busy, but would be interested in meeting.
Otherwise, restaurant recommendations in Marengo would be appreciated.
Make that 6/20 – 6/26
There are no good restaurant in Ohio.
Now you’ve dun it.
I hear that Ohioans put ketchup on spaghetti and that they eat their own feces.
Sounds credible

Grandeur is a very interesting word to use. Very revealing for a guy who thinks there is some sort of initiative that would serve the strategic and symbolic significance of going to the Moon first during the Cold War. There is nothing about global warming policies that galvanizes even a majority of the country, let alone those opposed to it. There is nothing that will bring the two sides together because, you stupid cunt, we don’t want the government carrying out some grandiose mission to fundamentally change society in your twisted image. We don’t want a government with that power nor do we believe in your doomsday cult. Nothing productive or even symbolically meaningful will come out of anything your dimwitted mind.

How does concealing it from parents “protect” the gender-confused child? Aren’t potentially violent parents going to be even more pissed off when it eventually comes out that authorities have hidden the facts and enabled the minor?
As a parent, I’d be looking for some good-old fashioned street justice for all involved.
Khan better be thankful it wasn’t my daughter.
In a functional society, Khan would be fighting desperately to retain his law license.
And the Bro has a point – this mentally ill teenager is probably not exactly a good source of truth.
I’d caution that Sage may not be the most reliable narrator.
So, a normal teenager. From the beginning of time, teenagers have been confused about everything. The vast majority of adults understand this. That vast majority needs to stand up and say “this has gone way too far and is stopping right now”.
I don’t think I want to know what this means in a woman.
I also can’t help but notice that it was probably two white women who put the idea in her head as a teenager. First, her alcoholic and mentally ill mother and than his father’s partner.
To hear modern progressives tell it, the science on this issue is completely settled and has been for decades similar to how we’ve always been at war with Eastasia or it has always been known that gas stoves are deadly to a child’s health.
These numbers are perfectly normal. No, no….it definitely isn’t a sign of authority figures in search of a problem that only they in their infinite wisdom, with or without parental consent, can solve. And no one is making money off this.
The inevitable backlash to this is going to be violent.
And I will not raise a finger to stop it.
The skin of your nethers gets thin and friable and it can get painful in various ways. Happens after menopause when you no longer have estrogen plumping everything up.
I’ll have to watch more GILF porn.
I’ll give this person credit – they woke up at some point and started to ask themselves questions that most people with actual penises never even realize to ask themselves.
Have you noticed this whole thing is based on what people THINK is the “right” way to be and look male/female? Often it turns out to be a caricature (especially MtF).
Yes. It should be something feminists rale against. Anyone pushing the idea that gender is a social construct should take issue with people from the opposite sex transitioning to another sex and adopting hyper-stereotypical portrayals as their identity under the guise of this being a genuine depiction of their true inner self and the actual gender as a whole.
The trannie thing undercuts everything feminists have traditionally argued.
That, along with safety issues associated with having bio-males in female locker rooms, prisons, etc., is one of the primary criticisms of trans-ideology by radfems.
Radfems are the only feminists screaming about it and they are dismissed and vilified as TERFs, which they embrace, but still is isolating enough to make them look like nutcases.

Why does trannying always lead to nose and/or lip rings, neck tatts, and the like.
That is a very sad read. I personally know a girl who wants to transition (her parents are “hard pass”, although they allow her to present as male just to keep some sort of equilibrium) , but she was messed up from the git-go. Her 3 siblings are all normal and she has other problems her parents have tried to deal with since she hit puberty. Her “gender dysphoria” is the lesser of their concerns with her. She’s 18 now, still in high school. Her parents have seriously thought about getting conservatorship over her, but getting out from under that is as hard for the conservator as it is for the trustee. She is one reason why I lean toward the “nature” side of the debate, but I’m sure there are plenty of people who can be a case study for the “nurture” side.
I don’t think He’ll be particularly merciful.
What a horrible story.
A nice little runaround for the country house
I had a AMC Grand Wagonneer once. It wasn’t that, but it was as close as I’m getting anytime soon.
I love it. Bid went from 8 to 12K in a single jump, though. Someone wants it bad
GAH!
