Don Brett is on his yearly vision quest, where he goes out into the swamps and lives with the alligators who raised him as a child. So, you get an early hit of Tonio to start your work week off right.
CLIMATE ACTIVISTS BLOCKADE BURNING MAN, ARRESTED BY TRIBAL POLICE: “The police drove straight through the barrier, at which point the activists started crying and sobbing “we’re non-violent!” The rangers ordered the activists to the ground at gunpoint, arrested them, and carted them away.”
‘JOE THE PLUMBER’ DEAD AT 49: Joseph Wurzelbacher, or “Joe the Plumber,” died on Sunday morning. Wurzelbacher confronted Barack Obama on his tax plan during the 2008 presidential election.

Does that make Brett a secret aristocrat?
I think it just means that between Animal and Tonio, the PTB decided to hit us with both bear-rels.
So, you are saying that Tonio came early?
Hey now!
Don’t dream it’s over?
You will own nothing…. and walk everywhere!
Now you’re just being paranoid. Like those people who think the government wants to force them onto public transportation to monitor and control their travel.
Nobody’s going after your gas stove!
Or your light bulbs.
Or toilets.
Or ceiling fans, for fuck’s sake. Talk about a stretch.

I’m a walker everywherer and even I think this is a scam.
I assume like the upcoming “congestion pricing” in NYC it’s really just a revenue raising scheme to prop up the subway system for another few years until the pensions finally bankrupt it.

Government agents doing something useful for once.
Tribal agents
Back in Minnesoda, we always called tribal police FBI: F***ing Big Indians.
Question I have is why the police did their jobs in support of a festival, but so often we see them protecting protesters blocking rush hour traffic instead of arresting them for … you know… blocking rush hour traffic?
Since it was tribal police, I assume this was on tribal land. Different country.
You have to admit…it was hilarious.
Plus, as I understand it, lots of rich and wealthy people attend Burning Man these days. Can’t inconvenience them. But ordinary folk?
They should love it; they were treated like black men.

They were tribal police, screw white man’s constitution
Ohhh.. yeah… don’t screw with the tribal police. They are kinda like the campus police – except the exact opposite.

That would be the Ohio Constitution, wouldn’t it? (The law that allows the law allowing fireworks? It is turtles ^W laws all the way down, man….)

“Study finds deer are virus reservoirs, promoting ongoing mutation.”
Totally didn’t escape from a lab.
“Nearly 99 percent of ‘Covid deaths’ reported by the CDC each week are not primarily caused by the virus, official data shows.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Covid dashboard shows just 1.7 percent of the 324 Covid deaths registered in the week ending August 19 had the coronavirus as the primary cause of death.
The figures indicate just a handful of victims included in the weekly figure were primarily killed by Covid. For comparison, the virus was behind one in three ‘Covid deaths’ at America’s pandemic peak in 2021.”

Seriously… you couldn’t even ask that question at the time, yet we were all talking about it.

Scrappage scheme – sounds like some kind of horrible fired garbage from a Baltimore diner.
It’s neofascists, all the way down
Progressive US voters must unite behind Joe Biden rather than consider any of his Democratic primary challengers because the threat of another Donald Trump presidency is too great, Bernie Sanders has said.
“We’re taking on the … former president, who, in fact, does not believe in democracy – he is an authoritarian, and a very, very dangerous person,” the senator and Vermont independent, who caucuses with Democrats, said on NBC’s Meet the Press. “I think at this moment there has to be unification of progressive people in general in all of this country.”
——-
Sanders himself was the runner-up for the Democratic nomination in the 2016 White House race won by Trump and in 2020, with West among his supporters. But Sanders this time quickly endorsed Biden’s re-election campaign, a decision which prompted West to accuse him of only backing Biden because he is “fearful of the neo-fascism of Trump”.
The senator responded to that criticism on Sunday on CNN’s State of the Union, saying, “Where I disagree with my good friend Cornel West is – I think, in these really very difficult times, there is a real question whether democracy is going to remain in the United States of America.
“You know, Donald Trump is not somebody who believes in democracy, whether women are going to be able to continue to control their own bodies, whether we have social justice in America, [whether] we end bigotry.”
Quack quack quack.
Donald Trump is not somebody who believes in democracy
Yes, but what are his faults?
He likes banging porn stars, his dick is shaped like a mushroom, and he has a weakness for flattery.
See, that makes him less appealing.
Funny coming from a democrat on Meet the Press – I wonder why nobody ever asked them about spying on Trump, framing people for crimes they didn’t commit, impeaching a president for asking about the bribery scheme of a former vice president, or anything at all of relevance about the capital police and the FBI on Jan 6? Could it be that “the press” has weekly meetings hosted by various 3 letter agencies just like the big tech companies do?
I’ll bet they’re nicely catered too.
The guy was fucked by the DNC* twice in the name of Democracy.
*Not completely unfairly, since he claims to be independent otherwise
Good point – his party *literally* rigged an election against him, and got caught red-handed doing it. Not “Oh, I think maybe” kind of caught – in their own words, caught rigging the DNC primary for president for Herself, something they fired the head of the DNC for (getting caught, one would presume, not for rigging the election).
Yet, here he is telling the big lie, loudly and proudly. It really is indefensible… unless you note that he now has 3 big, expensive homes where before there was only 1.
I miss society even having the idea that such statements might get a response of “Citation needed”. Just throw out slurs… they don’t need any facts, because no one will ever challenge you! (“He didn’t get elected, did he?” rules the day…)
Sanders is such an unprincipled sack of shit.
Ouch… as someone who does verge on the law and order side of things at times… that avatar stings man… nice shot.
We’re taking on the … former president, who, in fact, does not believe in democracy – he is an authoritarian, and a very, very dangerous person
This from a socialist who wanted America to be more like Soviet Russia.
Wait… past tense?
Of course, now he knows that wasn’t real socialism. Real socialism has never been tried.
I don’t believe in democracy either so Fuck Off Bernie
Democracy as is defined these days…I agree.
The democracy of my youth…I do not agree. It may be my lack of understanding of the terms.
The little “d” democracy of the past meant we were all in this together.
I wish we could go back to that.
Democracy is and always will be two wolves and a lamb deciding what’s for dinner.
This,
Whenever you see the word “democracy” substitute “mob rule”. Semantically equal.
“We’re taking on the … former president, who, in fact, does not believe in democracy – he is an authoritarian, and a very, very dangerous person,”
You people like to just say things. And project. Always project.
Meanwhile, the Dems like democracy in the same way the DDR did.
This guy caucuses with the party that pretty openly rigged their last two presidential primaries against Bernie in order to ensure their preferred candidate won. But they’re the ones who totally love democracy.
Bernie is the greatest cuck of all.
The rangers ordered the activists to the ground at gunpoint, arrested them, and carted them away.”

“deer are virus reservoirs”
I always thought Bambi’s mom had it coming.
Classic of modern cinema
I knew exactly what that was.
At the animation festivals we’d shout “Marv!” each time his name appeared.
Sanders nonetheless said he planned to push Biden to tackle “corporate greed and the massive levels of income and wealth inequality” across the US. On Meet the Press, he suggested he would urge Biden to “take on the billionaire class”.
Those comments came about four months after Sanders called on the US government to confiscate 100% of any money that Americans make above $999m, saying people with that much wealth “can survive just fine” without becoming billionaires.
Thank goodness we were rescued from authoritarianism.
Sanders should have gone to live on a farm a long time ago. Since no one has the brass to be merciful to him we are stuck with this kind of commie clap-trap.
He lived on a communal farm in Israel – until they threw him out for being too lazy.
“tackle corporate greed and the massive levels of income and wealth inequality”. So he’s going to demand that Biden stop letting a bunch of low wage labor cross the border unchecked?
That image made me twitch. For a moment I thought it was Thursday.
Sorry, buddy. My bad.
“Study finds deer are virus reservoirs, promoting ongoing mutation.”
No shit? Knock me down with a feather. Now, replace the word ‘deer’ with that of any other species of life on the planet and it is still true.
Easily the most numerous and varied “lifeform” on earth. Every cell type there is has more than 1 virus targeting it, from cyanobacteria to human nerve cells, and everything in between.
I remember a factoid from Craig Ventner’s oceanic genome survey – they were finding some ludicrous amount of virus genome in the water. Can’t recall if it was 100 times, or thousands of times that of other life forms… but I remember saying “wow”.
Including us. Just sayin’

A new state record for the longest alligator caught in Mississippi was broken over the weekend.
According to the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries, and Parks, four hunters harvested a male alligator on Saturday in the West Central Alligator Hunting Zone, measuring 14 feet and 3 inches long.

That would put a dent in your undercarriage.

After moving to Ohio, I remember looking out at the backyard one morning, and wondering how somebody’s big ass dog got into our yard. When it jumped the fence, I realized that it wasn’t a dog.
They like to sleep inside my chain-link fence, because I’m the only thing that bothers them back there.
And my wife would shoot me if I shot one of them.

What the fuck is it with this Utopian City obsession? This morning I read a thing about a Saudi plan to build some sort of green field “future proof” paradise (whatever the fuck that means).
As in, “move to Saudi Arabia; You’ll have no future!”

‘Future Proof’
Wow, that is some euphemism for “We are going to stay in the Stone Age”.
“We know how to keep our women in line.”

MikeS – I really did plan to print the Owl as the first test of the Vyper, but the SD card that came with it was bad.
I had to throw together some gcode it could read before I got it rolling. So I’m printing a MadCat torso. (It was the first stl I laid my hands on)
Sad!
The more I think about it, I don’t recall now if the owl actually came pre-loaded, or if I just saw it was some kind of semi-tradition thing. 3D printing version of “Hello World”.
Well, the instructions said there should be an owl.gcode on that SD card to print. So I assume it was preloaded for you.
OK. I was remembering correctly. I suppose my internet search was something along the lines of “why the hell is there an owl file on this card?”
Cura estimates 10 hours for my MadCat torso.
I should have looked for something smaller. A 75 Ton OmniMech is a bit much to start with.
Holy crap. I think the owl took like 30 minutes. haha
So… a Locust or a Jenner?
Urbanmech. Make the trashcan great again!

Yup. In my case the capacity was low and seemingly correct, but I doubt I got more than two dozen large writes to it.

I saw a video of some dude in a BMW pulling a quick u-turn, backing up to within about a foot of the Extinction Rebellion drones, putting it in neutral, and revving the hell out of the engine.
It was super effective. I’ve been saving it for later.
Yeah, that was excellent
Rolling coal with a big diesel would be even better.
Can’t touch him
I would just drive very slowly between them. They will move.
I would prefer the “German Method” (drag them off the road by their hair) but if you touch them it’s “assault and battery” and if your car touches them it’s “assault with a deadly weapon”.
That video is great. That German gal was having none of it. Good stuff.

Jesus, the Pope really stepped in it now:
Pope Francis Praises Historical Russian Imperialism Amid War in Ukraine
That dude is infallible, yo!
Only when speaking upon certain matters.
a term that dates back to Russia’s conquest of southern Ukraine under Catherine in 1764
Russia didn’t conquer southern Ukraine in 1764. It conquered northern Ottoman Empire at the time. It’s preposterous to call Ukraine the areas taken from the Ottomans.
Preposterous basically describes everything progressives believe about history. It’s all about making history fit into their neat little narratives.
While not technically correct, it is what led to it:*
*I’m not a historian and can’t vouch for veracity of the Smithsonian Magazine.
Notice that nobody claims that there were Ukrainians on the Northern coast of the Black Sea and in Crimea in 1760-70s. Here’s a nice map. Taurida and Crimea were conquered by Russia, not Ukraine.
But Crimea was recently part of Ukraine. So add “present day” to the sentence and it’s correct, no? Or, well, “present day until it wasn’t again”.
It’s a pretty big difference. What was written is the writer implying that Russia aggressed against Ukraine. The other let’s the reader know that Ukraine didn’t even exist as a political entity until the 20th century.
Gotcha. Yes, I see it now.
Albania and even more so Slovakia didn’t exist as political entities until fairly recently, but nobody would even think to hold that against them. Why should it be different in the case of Ukraine?
No one is holding it against Ukraine. Let me state my own opinion very clearly – I believe in self-determination for any group of people. If Ukrainians want to be independent, they have every right to be so. Just like if any particular parts of modern Ukraine wish to join Russia, they have every right to do so.
My statement was solely based on the impression I believe the writer of that article was hoping to create with the reader. It used history to support a modern narrative. and it is the progressive SOP. It exists this way today so it must have always been so is just as ridiculous a point of view as the opposite – that it existed this way once upon a time (see Chinese and Indian nationalists as examples of this school of thought) so it should be so now. Progressives will endorse this latter point of view on occasion if the magical incantation of colonialism can be used Hong Kong should be part of China because it was before the white man etc. Taiwan shouldn’t exist. In the case of others you’ll see people argue that Pakistan shouldn’t exist.
I find attempts to use history to justify ones current geopolitical positions morally repugnant in general. And there are obviously a lot of Ukrainians who have no desire to be part of Russia and I fully support them in doing so.
I will object to America waging a proxy war against Russia through Ukraine, though and very much object to American politicians who have profited off of Ukrainian corruption.
What nobody wants to talk about is the role of the Brits in stoking Ukrainian nationalism as a hedge against other powers, primarily Russia.
This has been going on for a century or more. Hell, MI6 had Bandera under their protection after WW2. Bandera who happily exterminated “undesirables” for Hitler until he became a liability to the Germans.
How dare Ukrainians not want to be subjugated by Russians!
More seriously, it always seems that people go on about how much we need to listen to Russia’s supposed historical justifications for attacking Ukraine, but suggest that Ukraine has its own valid historical justifications, and people recoil in horror.
Only these Glibertarians who exist in your head. There is a far more knee jerk response to anything negative towards Ukraine than there is the other way around.
And it’s entirely possible to understand why Russia is doing what it is doing and to still not support them in doing so on some moral level. What Russia is doing in Ukraine is 100% necessary from a geopolitical position for Russia. What America did in Ukraine was always a gross and obvious move against Russia that was bound to provoke what has happened.
and then we can add in screwball libertarian morality like it’s wrong for Russia to invade a sovereign country.
It makes sense for some factions in Ukraine to want to get cozier to the West. If America actually cared about Ukraine’s best interests, it never would have done what it did over the past decade or so because it was completely fucking predictable how Russia would respond. And America would do no less if put in a position like Russia was.
Yeah, so anyway…up just a bit is a story about how the Pope spoke positively about the imperial history of Russia, even though he has also condemned imperialism in the past. Interesting read. For instance:
Even if I were to agree with Frances on a particular point, I’d shrug it off. I don’t see anything resembling intellectual consistency or depth in the man.
But it would be fun to have Eddy’s crazy ass around for moments like this.
This story comes a day after he came down on conservative Catholics for being too conservative and not a word about liberal Catholics that advocate for trans bs or late term abortions.
He is an old school commie would be my guess, and from a Latin American context. So, he’s pro-Russia in general despite Putin simply because they are opposed to America and the West at large.
He’s a base political creature more than any sort of religious leader.
I didn’t link it because I’m super pumped that Commie Pope™ happens to agree with me on one thing. I wanted to point out his hypocrisy. Good Christ this article missed the mark. I assume because nobody actually read it. And here I am sharing my WSJ subscription with you. tsk tsk
I’ll do better tomorrow. Or maybe some of us should just turn the fucking outrage meter down a few clicks anytime you read the words “Russia” and/or “Ukraine”.
This.
Today in made up bullshit
State Attorney General Rob Bonta filed a lawsuit Monday to stop a Southern California school district from outing transgender students to their parents, arguing that the policy violates students’ civil and constitutional rights and could cause them “mental emotional, psychological, and potential physical harm.”
——-
“Our message to Chino Valley Unified and all school districts in California is loud and clear: We will never stop fighting for the civil rights of LGBTQ+ students,” Bonta said in a prepared statement.
The policy passed last month by the Chino Valley Unified School Board requires schools to inform parents whenever a student asks to use a different name or pronoun than what’s in their official record, or if a student requests to use facilities or participate in programs that don’t align with their assigned sex. A similar statewide proposal, introduced by Republican Assemblymember Bill Essayli, stalled and has almost no chance of becoming law in the Democratic supermajority Legislature.
Backers have characterized the policy as a “parental rights issue,” but Bonta alleges the board is unlawfully discriminating against transgender and gender-nonbinary students.
And what criteria are used to determine the legitimacy of a student’s claim of special status? Are we strictly in Humpty Dumpty territory here?
“Are we strictly in Humpty Dumpty territory here?”
Yes. It’s my truth.
Carnitas gets it.
In other news, parents gathering tar and feathers …..
(if California had any sense of connection to reality at all, that is)
Transitioning in secret from your parents seems like a very healthy life choice.
Yeah, think how pissed the parents are going to be at the school when they inevitably discover what their kid has done.
Here in Florida this is an issue due to a new law from DiSantis and crew. Teachers must call kids by the name their parents sign off on.
Now that Larry being Lisa is an issue, and everything being super offensive, this seems like a “protect the teachers” position. You start calling someone’s kid “Lisa” behind mom’s back, mom might get angry and come after you. You refuse to call Larry “Lisa” and you might get fired, or worse. So get mom to sign off, and then Ms Thompson has to call Larry “Lisa”, but mom is on board.
It was something of an issue with the teachers at the local high school – a pretty high-end school. The teachers conveyed a bit of attitude while explaining it, per the boy. But boy, being a boy, thinks it would be hilarious if I signed off on making them call him “Professor Buttmunch” or somesuch. Better, change it up every week.
Hurricanes are The Great Firster’s wrath when seconding grows to its most decadent.
Hurricanes don’t dare come to North Dakota. I will smite them with my Firsts Of Fury™.
“In discussing the policy before its passage, board members made a number of statements describing students who are transgender or gender non-conforming as suffering from a ‘mental illness’ or ‘perversion,’ or as being a threat to the integrity of the nation and the family,” Bonta said in a statement.
Chino Valley and other California school districts in recent years have become the targets of religious conservatives who have recruited and helped elect local candidates in a state where Democrats dominate higher offices.
——-
Bonta, in his lawsuit, argues the policy infringes on several state protections, including California’s equal protection clause, the state education and government code, and California’s constitutional right to privacy.
The tensions are likely to continue outside of the courtroom with conservative groups looking to qualify statewide ballot measures relating to schools and the Legislature’s LGBTQ+ caucus prepared to introduce a bill prohibiting such policies.
Fuck it. Bring on the sectarian civil war.
Religious conservatives are driving “anti-trans” policy in California?!
Pull the other one.
Religious conservatives like blacks & Latins?
Don’t forget the Massa Man!
I think it’s hilarious that leftists believe there’s an army of white religious conservatives all over the country, when, in large part, their favored marginalized groups make up a huge chunk of religious conservatives outside the South. As in, places where leftists live.
And Muslims are being radicalized by white southern Baptists conservatives. Because of course.

Jim Cantore just showed up in town. Make of that what you will.
Which town are you in?
I live in Gainesville, which has the only sizable airport in the area, so that’s where Jim’s flight came in.
Evidently he’s headed to the Cedar Keys — which should be a sign to the locals to pay heed to the evacuation

Well, he did get a fellowship from George Soros’ brother…
Up this post somewhere is the Vivek FAQ that explains stuff like that. I like that he did that. I ALSO FIND IT SUSPICIOUS…
Vivek is really just a secret “Trojan Horse” for George Soros: 🤡
A Jesuit!!1!!1
Good gracious what an overachieving, high-caste weenie.
Gotta admit my eyes glaze over at the “business” stuff. I do not have a head for that shit at all.
I’ve been watching the printer print for too long, I have to let it work.
It’s halfway through the estimated time (give or take). Having reached the nose of the cockpit, it won’t have to print so many supports, and the layers will start to get smaller as it goes along now.
Are you going to do a time lapse video?
Are we that desperate for content?
Always.
No suitable camera.
I recommend passing the time with tequila and chicken.
HT; Sean
I’m out of chicken 🙁
😁
Bucket of chicken.
I saw a “Come and Take It” bumper sticker surrounded on each side by those “Thin Blue Line” bastardizations of the US flag that really annoy the shit out of me. Doesn’t bubba realize who the politicians are sending to “take it”?
7:00 p.m. God Daylight Time post is up now.
But, I’ve lost interest by now…
