Overheard conversations at nearby tables when I’m having my morning coffee is often the highlight of the day. Usually it’s some banal shit about half-understood politics or well-understood partying. Yesterday morning’s was wonderful. “…but the picture on the box showed her using it on the back of her neck.”
Today is a weak birthday day, but I should still point out a guy whose motto was, “At your cervix!”; a guy who might have taught Tyson a lesson or two; a guy of no particular principles beyond attention-seeking; a walking advertisement for Kool-Aid; a guy who got mistaken for a baseball; an honored sci fi writer who, let’s be honest, was more than a bit dull; a backbone of Fleetwood Mac when it was still good; Ray Charles’s seeing eye dog; the quintessential piece of shit “moderate”; a guy who made fame and fortune in comedy by not being the least bit funny; and a chick you really don’t want to see naked but she’ll show you anyway.
Oh yeah, links.

“Diona Patterson, Barbara Mapps and Shawanda Rogers, whose loved ones were killed in the shooting, and survivor Latisha Rogers filed the lawsuit in New York Supreme Court in Erie County on Friday against social media companies like Meta, Facebook’s parent company; Snap, Inc., which runs Snapchat; Discord; Amazon, which owns Twitch; and Reddit.

““Did you see how she was dressed? She’s just asking for it!”
I’m seeing a trend here. Maybe Heinlein was right.
“As anticipated, the state’s budget hole deepened from the estimated $22.5-billion shortfall announced in January and marks a dramatic turn from last summer, when Newsom touted a $100-billion surplus.”
😲
The surplus was just an accounting trick in order to delay the deficit news. I forget the details, but they front loaded the income.
Ah, ok.
I thought it was from the FedGov bailout. Governors like Cuomo were in charge of bankrupt states, so kept pushing the coronavirus emergency to try to get Biden elected since Trump wouldn’t sign a bailout for the states.
The $100B included about $26B in FedGov stimulus.
It isn’t much of a trick. California was/is using cash based accounting instead of accrual so they could ignore their long term debt obligations.
No. The progressivity of the CA income tax means huge revenues in good years and big gaps in down years. Oddly enough, high incomes tend to be rather volatile – not that idiots on the left get that in the slightest.
With tax collection expected to fall short of the money allocated for programs essential to millions of Californians, Newsom is taking a more conservative spending approach while trying to protect his marquee programs. The shortfall projections indicate that the abundance of Newsom’s first term is over, and the need to downshift in his second term could have implications for Democrats in the state Legislature and his own political legacy.
“We’ve driven away more cash cows to Texas than anticipated.”
There is that too, but this is really just a natural and entirely predictable consequence of the rate structure and year to year income variability.
It’s one of the arguments they use to try to repeal Prop 13.

““Apparently cows do not want suspected criminals loitering in their pasture and quickly assisted our officers by leading them directly to where the suspect was hiding,” police said in a press release. “The cows communicated with the officers as best they could and finally just had the officers follow them to the suspect’s location.”
The department said that, as it examines the “obvious next steps of incorporating a Bovine Tracking Unit” into its law enforcement capabilities, there are several factors to consider.
This includes whether cows are adaptable to a variety of police work or if they are limited to finding hiding suspects, whether cows are more cost-effective than K-9 dogs, how cows will be transported to crime scenes and if doing so would be compatible with the town’s sustainability goals regarding types of vehicles needed and if there are methane issues, and how much it would cost to fund the cows’ training, veterinary care, ballistic vets and other expenses.”

“Air bag inflators that project metal fragments into vehicle occupants, rather than properly inflating the attached air bag, create an unreasonable risk of death and injury,” Stephen Ridella, director of NHTSA’s Office of Defects Investigation, wrote in a letter to ARC.

And when it beheaded babies, FedGov blamed the parents and told the parents to put the babies in the back seat.

Immigration skeptics do not need to join the immigrant rights movement to meaningfully advance its mission. They just need to be a bulwark against the cancer of white nationalism, resistant to its divisive tactics for political mobilization.
In fact, policymaking on immigration would be far more likely if people were just less passionate about the issue altogether. We would do better to view it as a humdrum, managed process that ensured the country was attracting the best and the brightest, while staving off demographic aging. This wouldn’t mean technocracy without democracy, but rather an acknowledgment that — much like a favorite professional sports team — the country needs to recruit the most talented to compete.
Never mind the facts, let’s talk about the perfect imaginary world in my head.
It’s a long slog through sneering condescension.
Stop giving them free shit and this ends tomorrow.
blah blah blah white nationalism
Just enforce the current laws.
the country needs to recruit the most talented to compete.
Inviting in the diseased dregs of foreign societies that are not even literate in their own language must be the most talented then.
“the country needs to recruit the most talented to compete.”
Isn’t that what Trump was proposing with his skills based immigration plan?
No.
Clearly he was proposing that we enslave all foreigners, and kill those who resist. He was also proposing the right of prima nocta. All white men should be able to sleep with any foreign woman so we can breed them out. It is known.

Sununu is petty, vindictive, and has national ambitions. He also has hated Trump. Sununu hinted that he voted for Biden in 2020.
The last I checked any polls, he was polling at right around 1% for the Republican presidential nomination. So, I see this just as Sununu lashing out.

In any outreach, immigration reform advocates will ultimately have to overlook many views that they would not personally endorse. Still, they must find new ways to connect and highlight commonalities rather than differences. They need to communicate that they recognize skeptics as stakeholders too — their virtue, their dignity, their rights.
As activists have promoted the mobility and achievements of immigrants these past few decades, skeptics have clung more tightly to American “heritage” because it renders them a sense of status. It’s true that some of the accompanying nostalgia may subconsciously yearn for the white supremacy in America’s past, but much of it just comforts people uncertain about the country’s future and their precarious position in it. They have bigger problems than undocumented immigrants, and advocates can help them see that.
Go fuck yourself.
“I’m asking you to not be emotional,” the source paraphrased what Licht told Darcy at the meeting. Licht reportedly said that he wanted to see more objective coverage of all news outlets, not just CNN.
Asking too much of proggies.
CNN reporter Oliver Darcy was reportedly left “visibly shaken” after his boss, CEO Chris Licht, tore into the liberal journalist over his “emotional” coverage of the network’s town hall Wednesday night featuring former President Donald Trump.
Cry about it.
There was something disturbing to me in the way Anderson Cooper addressed the “issue” the following day. Seems like the establishment is gearing up to outright label any political opposition as domestic terrorists simply for disagreeing with any particular narrative or policy.
Most religions don’t treat heretics or infidels with respect, why should progressivism be any different?
Calling Darcy emotional is sexist.
Baltimore City is suing Hyundai and Kia in federal court for actions the city says are fueling a “vehicular crime wave.”
The lawsuit, filed Thursday, claims the business decision by the automakers to not equip vehicles with anti-theft technology is behind the city’s massive spike in car thefts.
“Well, they should have provided it. Everyone else seems to provide it,” said Hyundai owner John Simms.
This is so mendacious and stupid. Sue the city for lack of enforcing the law.

New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu (R) criticized the Republican voters from his home state who appeared at CNN’s town hall with former President Trump for their reaction to his mocking of author E. Jean Carroll.
“It was embarrassing,” Sununu told MSNBC’s Jen Psaki in an interview set to air Sunday.
“The audience was absolutely filled with Trump supporters, so I wasn’t surprised to hear the support,” he said. “But when you’re talking about a serious issue like that, and laughter and mocking and all that, it’s completely inappropriate, without a doubt.”

Farm conditions for pigs don’t seem to have anything to do with states’ salvos in the hard-fought battle over abortion. But a new Supreme Court ruling in an animal welfare case could become a tool in states’ burgeoning efforts to restrict or expand abortion access even beyond their own borders.
The case over the treatment of animals in factory farms splintered the justices Thursday, resulting in five separate opinions. The ultimate outcome was a victory for the right of California voters to dictate requirements for meat sold in their state, even if much of it is produced elsewhere.
However, experts say the core issue in the case — the ability of states to take actions with clear impacts beyond their borders — is also central to the legal imbroglio over abortion. The decision could, for instance, embolden states to crack down on the mailing of abortion pills. States with strong prevailing views on abortion could even seek to restrict the sale of goods from states with contrary views.
“We could see anti-abortion states and even pro-choice states enact policies that have secondary effects in other states,” said Drexel University law professor David Cohen. “Just like California said, ‘We don’t allow pork raised in a way that goes against our ethics,’ you could see states saying, ‘We can’t do business with this state or that state’” because of their abortion policies, he added.
We should just abolish the current federal government and let California make all policy decisions. Just get it over with.
This reeks of wishful thinking.
https://amac.us/four-tipping-points-is-the-left-and-its-power-collapsing/
It’s all about the Fed. If Powell wins, Davos loses, and a shit-ton of money that was flowing to the vandals in the Democrat Party dries up.
The only member of the Supreme Court who directly mentioned the possible impact of Thursday’s factory-farm ruling on the abortion fight was Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who said he would have allowed the pork producers’ suit against California to continue.
Future state laws of this kind might not be confined to the pork industry,” Kavanaugh warned, before quoting from an amicus brief submitted by 26 conservative-leaning states. “What if a state law prohibits ‘the retail sale of goods from producers that do not pay for employees’ birth control or abortions’ (or alternatively, that do pay for employees’ birth control or abortions)?’”
Kavanaugh, an appointee of former President Donald Trump, said the country was sliding down a slippery slope that could effectively end the notion of the United States as a unified market.
“California’s law thus may foreshadow a new era where States shutter their markets to goods produced in a way that offends their moral or policy preferences — and in doing so, effectively force other States to regulate in accordance with those idiosyncratic state demands. That is not the Constitution the Framers adopted in Philadelphia in 1787,” Kavanaugh declared in his solo opinion.
What we need is an economy in which states can erect barriers to trade and engage in protectionism against other states.
I’m not crying that California voters decided to deprive themselves of bacon. This was an initiative, not legislation.
The suppliers have to have the gumption to say “We don’t need to sell our products in CA anyway.”
Honestly – how is CA can check for compliance? With retailers? Wholesalers? When a shipment crosses the stateline? They sure as hell can’t go out and inspect hog farms in NC.
They sure as hell can’t go out and inspect hog farms in NC.
Well…
Tell me how well that goes over with NC bureaucrats.
Good question. Can some inspector from CA go onto a NC farmer’s land to inspect over the farmer’s objections?
Absolutely zero legal authority the minute he crosses over the CA state line.
This is the key. The farmers have to be willing to forego sales and force CA to reverse course, and CA need to be ready to pay a shit ton of money for what little pork there will be.
I think that was addressed in a document written by white slave owners a couple hundred years ago.

Why Elite Libertarians Failed so Miserably on COVID
Beltway libertarians are a blight.

Matt Welch just did a hit piece on Tucker saying his Twitter announcement was “lies”.
Also, when challenged on Twitter he pulled out a reason article about masks as proof that Reason was never muzzled. (And by extension nobody in the media was muzzled)
Maybe this is why there is such antipathy for Tucker?
What a dumbshit. This blows over on a few days and Reason can go back to giving blowjobs for cash.
From this article I learned about the Atlas Network.

Very good article. Fuck Cosmotarians.
We’ve just lived through the most Liberty crushing times since WW2, and probably the Civil War if we want to be really honest about it. And “leading” libertarians say quietly by, or even praised it. I don’t know if libertarians would have had any appreciable effect, I suspect not, but knowing that we weren’t alone in a world that suddenly turned very hostile towards every form of liberty would have been a great comfort. Instead, we had reason, and most other libertarians, carrying establishment water.

Today in sanctimonious posturing
Officials in Missouri’s largest city approved a resolution Thursday to declare it a sanctuary for people seeking or providing gender-affirming care, defying state lawmakers who voted a day earlier to ban such care for minors and restrict it for some adults.
Democratic Mayor Quinton Lucas praised the 12 to 1 vote, saying the city is committed to being a “welcoming, inclusive, and safe place for everyone, including our transgender and LGBTQ+ community.”
Kansas City’s new, sanctuary status sets it apart as a Democratic-leaning city in a state with a Republican governor and GOP-controlled Legislature. Similar actions have been taken in cities that oppose state actions to restrict rights for transgender people, as in Austin, Texas.
That’ll teach them rednecks a thing or two.
I’m not sure how that status will help you in state court if you castrate a 12 year old to affirm his gender identity.
Sanctuary cities for illegals are working out great so why not?
I don’t think we can ship all our transgender folk to one city.
Although…
The fake “I am fleeing florida” post has become very popular of late.
Dwayne Wade did it, even though he doesn’t live here. Some nasa engineer left for another job and proclaimed it was because she (?) Is trans.
Yet somehow the state is growing so fast we cannot build new homes fast enough.
So Miami Beach has been depopulated?
There are also Videos circulating of empty construction sites, claiming that nobody is available to do construction because of “transporting illegals” law that had not yet gone into effect.
Highly doubtful, construction is everywhere around here, and little interruption.
Also… claims to be Mexican workers on a lot of them. Mexican labor is not big around South Florida, at least. There is (new) white a bit of Central America and South america…. but immigrants here are Haitian, Dominican, Brazilian, Argentinian, Venezuelan. … in addition to the Cubans.
It might be changing with the last 2 years, but I haven’t seen it locally
restrict rights for transgender people
That wording…
Was watching a movie called “A Man Called Otto” the other day. It was ok until the lead character became a hero/savior for a whiny, bitch trans teen. I don’t know why this shit has infected everything. Trans is not real. You cannot change your gender. You can only mutilate yourself and fuck up your hormones. These people need to be stopped and especially be kept away from children. This whole identity movement needs to go away.
