It’s Monday everyone, and I have a serious case. My FIL passed away 4 years ago, and given our really shitty treatment by FLDOC employees on that day, I have the urge to firebomb some facility housing. Not sure I like the State of Florida enough to do them that favor though. In happier news, my littles went absolutely terrorist this weekend, just fucking shit up for the sake of it. If they weren’t so cute, it would be harder to put up with. Fifteen month olds shouldn’t be able to give you a look to make sure you’re watching and then push their toys down a flight of stairs.
Okay, on to the links…
You gotta love a political committee fight that starts with kick to the yarbles. That’s how family fights should go.
People will say that there are no heroes in America anymore, but then someone did this.
Here’s some good news out of a Florida prison.
I assume this means it is an excellent product.
We’ll go mid-90s pop for today. Bonus, my favorite video of the mid-90s.
SNAFU?
Rachael Denhollander, the first woman to publicly accuse Nassar, tweeted Monday that none of the women she spoke with are rejoicing that Nassar was attacked. “We’re grieving the reality that protecting others from him came with the near-certainty we would wake up to this someday.”
Another victim, Sarah Klein, said the stabbing forces her and others to relive their abuse and trauma “at the hands of Nassar and the institutions, including law enforcement, that protected him and allowed him to prey on children.”
“I want him to face the severe prison sentence he received because of the voices of survivors. I absolutely do not support violence because it’s morally wrong and death would be an easy out for Nassar,” Klein said an emailed statement.
What?
What good is victimhood if you can’t milk it for more than it is worth?
We are not in favor of this asshole getting out of this too early in our victimhood play for pay.
Instead of suffering from what happened to us in private with our family and friends, we have decided to slobber across every media outlet we can find. We wished him dead for so many years; we cannot countenance it actually happening without our direct participation.
Spare me the false contrition. Hate the bastard and wish him dead. God will forgive you in the end. You were wronged.
“Fifteen month olds shouldn’t be able to give you a look to make sure you’re watching and then push their toys down a flight of stairs.”

My SIL used to work for a gynecologist, and they’d sometimes examine low income people, or do prison visits. She has some stories. So does my friend who used to be a detective in Gary, IN.
Three of my deer hunting buddies are married to gynecologists. The stories their wives tell….shudders.
Do they bring out some stirrups to help them gut the deer?
You use the speculum as a duck decoy.

Hottest day ever on earth? Minnesoda just rolls its eyes.
But I’m sure all that cold and snow last winter was caused by Climate Change and the solution is the exact same one that will stop hot weather too.
* This isn’t actually very unusual. I have a buddy who was a fireman at the airport and he said that it is pretty normal to have snow into late June/July every year.

“EXCLUSIVE: Tori Spelling is seen staying at $100-a-night MOTEL with her five kids amid Dean McDermott marital strife – after growing up in $165M Holmby Hills mansion with TV mogul father Aaron Spelling
Over the weekend, the former 90210 actress was pictured leaving an $100-a-night motel with her five children – all who are believed to be staying with her – just weeks after Dean McDermott announced their divorce before deleting the statement.
The 50-year-old reality star, who famously inherited just $800,000 of the estimated $600million fortune left by her late father, checked into a Los Angeles area motel on Saturday alongside her brood amid marital strife with her 56-year-old husband of 18-years…
Being pictured leaving the no-frills accommodation – which reportedly costs $100-a-night – is a stark contrast to her luxury life growing up in one of LA’s most expensive mansions – dubbed The Manor – located in the exclusive Holmby Park neighborhood.
Regardless of the circumstances Tori looked in great shape as she showcased her ripped abs in a black cropped T-Shirt with navy blue trousers and baby blue and white Nike Dunk Low sneakers.”

The most Daily Mail article ever?
Close, but they didn’t have that feature “How you can dress like …” where they link to where you could find a t-shirt, sweats and other stuff to look like a down and out Hollywood actress.
OMG they really did say what she was wearing.
That might be descriptive for the blind, not kidding.
Even if she inherited only a small portion of her father’s wealth, didn’t she earn a ton of money from her time on 90210? I actually kind of respect her for staying at a cheap motel.
I’m a connoisseur of cheap hotels. $100 a night is a decent chain if you have the right discount code.
She’s made a lot of mistakes and has a pretty rough life, given the pedigree.
I suspect she’s not rich in IQ points.

I am curious… is there some Hollywood rule where male children are not allowed to cut their hair?
I hate you for inflicting even the summary on me.
The correct answer is “who gives a shit?”

Not really.
Did it say what she was wearing?
The cocktail of drugs is just meth, meth and trendy ‘pink’ meth.
“Camila Sterling, 24, died inside David Bolno’s Setai Hotel room in Miami Beach after working with him on her music”
Yeah, she was playing the flute for him.
“Put your finger over the hole while you blow into it.”
When asked why a 24-year-old beauty would have been in his room at such odd hours during the night Bolno said: ‘I let her stay there, there’s not much more to it’
I’m going to guess the wife won’t buy this one.
A woman and her rich husband went to a party. When they got there the wife was surprised at the number of very attractive young ladies there.
“Who is that?”
“That is Bob’s mistress.”
“What! And that other gal?”
“That is Ted’s mistress.”
Just then a pretty young gal came up and gave her husband a drink.
“Who is this?”
“This is my mistress.”
“ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!! THAT IS IT WE ARE GETTING DIVORCED!”
“Fine, but remember you signed a pre-nup. If we get divorced you get nothing. No more fancy cars, no more living in our mansion, no more vacations.”
After thinking about it for a few minutes, she says, “you know I think our mistress is much better looking than Bob’s”
It’s only natural that if I had a mistress, she would look hotter than the rest of your mistresses.
I read that as mattress and WTF?

Guy goes to a VA medical center, doesn’t like how he’s treated, decides to raise a stink about it.
Bog-standard ‘dog bites man’ story, right? But this is Florida Man, so you know there’s a twist.
https://ballotpedia.org/Jodi_Jeloudov
That’s a man. Trans women don’t have beards.
“Although Florida recently passed a law requiring people to use the bathroom that reflects their gender assigned at birth”
That’s a lot of stupid.
“Jodi Gregory Jeloudov is a 48-year-old disabled veteran from Jensen Beach running with no party affiliation. Jeloudov, an LGBTQ+ transgender woman, said basic civil rights are under attack in Florida.
Women’s rights and access to abortion, better access to voting and fixing a broken criminal justice system are some of the issues Jeloudov said she is focusing on. She said she would change the intolerance and bigotry that occurs in Florida under the current administration and would repeal laws like the “don’t say gay” bill as governor.
“I’m here to stop this totalitarianism and get the governor accountable,” Jeloudov said.”

No party affiliation, but lists the entire Democratic party platform word for word.
Two candidates can’t both run as Democrats at the same?
Checks out.
Good. Please continue to split the Democrat voting base in Florida. Return it to the conservative Cubans and Florida men.
Here’s your twist, the governor nor the state legislature have eff all to do with how you get treated at the VA.
Because demanding the people around you believe your obvious lie is not an act of humiliation.
You too! Stop feeding my misanthropy. I can know the world is full of stupid people without having it rubbed in my face can’t I?

I’m thinking specifically of Endometriosis. Pelvic floor therapy can be effective at treating side effects associated with it. Hormone therapy may be the cheapest in out of pocket cost, but therapy has no side effects.
I am not an expert in the field by any measure, but I know of patients who had a hysterectomy meant to correct endometriosis and it didn’t work(actually the symptoms got worse), but some hands on therapy did.
I hear Larry Nassar is good at pelvic floor therapy, but you may find it hard to get an appointment.
I believe he called it the pelvic floor routine.
👏
Ah, okay. Thank you. I had to look up endometriosis after hysterectomy, as I didn’t know there was such an animal, provided the ovaries and tubes got taken too.
I wonder if Twatt’s sister city is Fucking, Austria.
Why go to Europe? You can go to NW Minnesoda and visit Climax (motto: More than just a feeling) which is just down the road from Fertile.
Best headline ever: Fertile woman dies in Climax
Just be careful on Beaver Ruin Road while traversing I85 through Atlanta (well Duluth really).
Of course another sister city could be Horny Bar, Slovakia.
Yeah, well, when I get Beaver fever, I head down to Coos Bay!
The $652M that the Feds gave Minnesoda to bring broadband internet to the sticks? Not enough!
Which politicians have a close relative with a fiber-optic cable laying company?
Wouldn’t it just be cheaper and easier to give everyone Starlink?
Since I already have fiber optic can I get my share in cash? So I won’t feel underserved?

There have always been that many, it’s just that now they finally feel safe to express themselves.
But also, the whole country is transphobic and awash in hate crimes.
Kind of related, an interesting read.
https://www.thefp.com/p/trans-activists-killed-my-scientific-paper
Interesting, but not at all surprising.
Do alums of Brown get to say they are POC?
The + carries a lot of water, I’m guessing.
The graphic shows it’s driven mostly by “queer” and “questioning” – both of which are completely meaningless.
I’m imaging a regular college guy who just wants to go to keggers and talk to pretty girls. Probably make for a funny / sad comedy if the idea wasn’t immediately cancelled.
I had a buddy at Memphis State who was an actor trying to get a theater degree. He would talk about the gals he got because he was one of the few straight guys in the department. I went to a few theater parties with him, but the gals were all – literally – drama queens and I was worried that if I passed out, instead of drawing a dick on my face, they’d just trace a dick instead.
“Worried”
Doh! Busted.

Tragic error
In a statement late Thursday afternoon, Colorado College announced it is removing its COVID-19 vaccine requirement for incoming students in response to the U.S. federal government ending the COVID-19 Pandemic public health emergency. According to the statement, the college lifted its requirement for incoming staff and faculty in April 2023.
——-
“I am disappointed to hear that CC has decided to join the national ableist, ageist, and neoliberal trend of making vaccination an individual choice rather than an act of collective care and in doing so abandoning those members of our community who are immunocompromised, elderly, and at greater risk of both infection and long-term debilitation by the COVID-19 virus,” wrote feminist and gender studies Professor Nadia Guessous in an email Thursday evening.
Guessous also noted that many immunocompromised individuals are concentrated in the Global South and are marginalized due to many factors such as race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, citizenship status, and more in the United States.
Forcing healthy college students in Colorado to partake of your cargo cult ritual sacraments will protect oppressed persons of the global south.
My elite and prestigious alma mater, ladies and gentlemens. Believe it or don’t, once upon a time CC had an annual symposium on “Freedom and Authority”. I guess they cancelled “Freedom”.
$80k a year. Fools.
“ making vaccination an individual choice rather than an act of collective care”
See? Now that’s the kind of talk which gets me all revolutionary and bloodthirsty.
“Guessous also noted that many immunocompromised individuals are concentrated in the Global South and are marginalized due to many factors such as race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, citizenship status, and more in the United States.”
They’re not even forming real sentences anymore; they’re just sprinkling words around. Does this sentence mean that immunocompromised people in the Global South are oppressed due to the list of terrible -isms extant in the U.S.?
Forming real sentences is white supremacy.
That woman speaks authentic prog gibberish. Here’s here latest paper: “On Tenderness, Joy, and Intergenerational Indebtedness: Reflections on the Decolonial Potentialities of the World Cup”
In the article, professor Guessous argues that the Moroccan team’s participation in the 2022 World Soccer Cup “challenged dominant assumptions about Moroccan/North African/Muslim/immigrant masculinity while at the same time speaking back to notions of Western superiority and benevolence through their expressions of affection and indebtedness towards their immigrant mothers. In doing so, they reminded us of the liberatory and political significance of the felt and the intimate in resisting the dehumanization of minoritized, racialized, and marginalized subjects on the global stage.”
Professor Gaseous does know how to spin some bullshit.
I know this style of writing is just impenetrable cant meant to signal affiliation and impress other members of the in-group, but I tried hard to understand this. I got lost somewhere around “immigrant mothers”.
One thing’s for sure though. Since the 2022 World Cup, gone are my tired old assumptions about Moroccan masculinity.
“significance of the felt”
It keeps my tools from sliding around and scratching the drawers.

Which is hilarious, considering how long everyone in DC has known he was an asshole. Heck, when I was working in the Senate in the 90s, everybody knew Biden was a deeply unpleasant person to work with. Just shows how effective propaganda is when a decades’-long record can be swept out of the way, to be replaced by Our Dear Leader is Such a Nice Guy It’s Amazing!
As with everything else in the corporate news, it’s not the subject matter that’s important. It’s “who wants me to know this?” and “why now?”

Demand disequilibrium
The auto industry is beginning to crank out more electric vehicles (EVs) to challenge Tesla, but there’s one big problem: not enough buyers.
Why it matters: The growing mismatch between EV supply and demand is a sign that even though consumers are showing more interest in EVs, they’re still wary about purchasing one because of price or charging concerns.
It’s a “Field of Dreams” moment for automakers making big bets on electrification — they’ve built the cars, and now they’re waiting for buyers to come, says Jonathan Gregory, senior manager of economic and industry insights at Cox Automotive.
——-
Yes, but: Sales aren’t keeping up with that increased output.
Details: The nationwide supply of EVs in stock has swelled nearly 350% this year, to more than 92,000 units.
That’s a 92-day supply — roughly three months’ worth of EVs, and nearly twice the industry average.
For comparison, dealers have a relatively low 54 days’ worth of gasoline-powered vehicles in inventory as they rebound from pandemic-related supply chain interruptions.
Zoom in: Some brands are seeing higher EV inventories than others.
Genesis, the Korean luxury brand, sold only 18 of its nearly $82,000 Electrified G80 sedans in the 30 days leading up to June 29, and had 210 in stock nationwide — a 350-day supply, per Cox research.
Other luxury models, like Audi’s Q4 e-tron and Q8 e-tron and the GMC Hummer EV SUV, also have bloated inventories well above 100 days. All come with hefty price tags that make them ineligible for federal tax credits.
Imported models like the Kia EV6, Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Nissan Ariya are also stacking up — likely because they’re not eligible for tax credits either.
Just don’t say they’re not worth the price.
Auto manufacturers are so disappointed in their customers.
We’ve let down the central planners again.
Why it matters:
I hate what are ostensibly news articles doing shit like this.
Hahaha. Can’t wait for the industry to panic when there are 300+ inventories. I wonder if there will be more than the Jeep Renegade, which hit 500.
TPTB: Thursday movie turned in. A day late.
Was it a dollar short, or did you pay the late fees?
I can say it was around 100 words short. So a dollar short of my cheap talk.
They’re not even forming real sentences anymore; they’re just sprinkling words around.
Formation of a sentence requires a discrete coherent idea.
Grammar is oppressive!
Grammar is a relic of cisheterine whitish patriarchicalistic paradigmisms that only seek to subjugate the oppressed classes.

Since you are here: I was late to the thread when you were talking about the essential tremor treatments you tried. I reached out to a dude I know who has it but is also a big shot in the health and fitness world. His response:
Phenibute does wonders for symptoms. I’ll do up to 1,000mg at a time, perhaps twice per day. Once before jits so I’m not a seizure salad, once at night to help sleep.
Have you ever tried it? He also mentioned that there is an aa in green tea that seems to help.
Propranolol works.
It didn’t for me. If it did for you, I’m happy it did.
Thanks! I’ll look into it. Appreciate the response. You are a good man.

The most compelling reason to upgrade to BMW Motorrad’s new ConnectedRide Smartglasses is that the device could make motorcycles a little safer by allowing riders to always keep their heads up and their eyes on other drivers. Unlike the Apple Vision Pro headset, which positions full-color 4K screens in front of the user’s eyes, the ConnectedRide Smartglasses project a minimal amount of information onto the glasses’ right lens so that it’s always in a rider’s field-of-view, hopefully without distracting them or obstructing what they’re looking at.
The Smartglasses link with the BMW Motorrad Connected App through a Bluetooth connection so that the rider is presented with their speed, the speed limit of the road they’re on, what gear the bike is in, and GPS navigation information with the option of keeping it minimal with just arrows, or more details including street names, intersections, and distance to the next turn.
BMW, always on the jagged bleeding edge of technology.
Lawsuits incoming!
Can’t most of this (or all of it) be done with a headset and voice function?
just as a local anecdote, I went to the movie theater to buy MI tix for this weekend, and the three buyers in front of me were all getting Sound of Freedom tix. The women directly in front were spanish-speaking, so I’m wondering if the movie isn’t getting a boost from either Spanish radio and/or Catholic groups. Caviezel is a devout Catholic, so the latter wouldn’t surprise me, but it’s definitely not just appealing to the Southern MAGA crowd, like RollingStone or whoever it was, is trying to insinuate.
Don’t be so sure of that last one. Lots of pro -maga Spanish speakers, at least where I am.
Speaking of signs, in the early 1990s I worked in the former East Germany and often had to drive from Leipzig to Prague. On the way there, I passed through the hamlets of Křimov, Křimov Domina and drove by the town of Jirkov.
