You know who you are. I am sorely disappointed at the level of skepticism received by Mexi’s in depth analysis on the correlation of UFO sightings and the rise of seed oils this morning. He did a lot of work on this and has put himself firmly in the crosshairs of Big Seed Oil. I expected better. Humph.
Links.
Speaking of crosshairs, Russell has found himself in them.
I have found a place for Hunter.
You know who else snubbed Harry’s birthday?
A long one on Napoleon Bonaparte Musk.
I am not the only one who is disappoint.
Okay, that’s good for today. Lot’s of good human interest stuff. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
Couple carryover from dedthread-
1. I’ve kept [generic salted brand] butter on my counter in butter dish for weeks if not months without touching it at 74 degrees F in my house….don’t cook enough. No noticeable issues. It’s not even one of the specialized butter dishes that cools with water – just clear glass with a lid.
2. As far as beer abv, the really good Trappist brews (smaller bottles) are consistently 12+%. Maybe as high as 15? I’d go for a Belgian before most US if I wanted to be certain of enjoying the taste.
Hmph. My butter starts to taste off after a few weeks in the fridge.
That water-seal butter thingie looks neat.
They work well. Change out the water every few days and you’re good. I loved mine.
Not any more?
The whole point of making butter, I thought, was to squeeze out all the stuff from milk that would go rancid, then use protein-rich squeezed-out stuff for other nutritional purposes, leaving the butter to last for a while.
Jeezus H. I think the Royal lapping media is more desirous of continuing the schism than the participants.

And meanwhile former Princess Mako doesn’t get enough credit.
I’m not sure the public ever warmed to her husband, but they seemed happy when he finally passed the bar.
Aliens, indeed. They looked like they were made of chocolate mole. I am insulted.
I figured watercolors on paper mache.
So the alleged aliens were… Mole Men?
Sounds like a Marvel comic book from the sixties.
I can’t make the accent mark over mole on the phone.
I go to the box, and I feel shame.
It’s just “mole” anyway.
As in mole pollo aka chocolate chicken

Ook ook.
The palace’s official social media accounts instead spent all day posting about King Charles, Prince William, Princess Kate, and Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh – without mentioning Prince Harry once.
The royal family watched the institution of the monarchy get rocked once when Eddie the 8th married some American grifting social climber. They’re not about to let that happen again anytime soon.
Who? What? They still have that in England? Who knew?
I hear blips every now and then but the names mean nothing to me. I have no idea who those people are.
But they just did. “We had better let him marry the divorced American actress, as we don’t want to be thought racists.”
I wouldn’t return his texts either.
Hey, watch it! That “American grifting social climber” is family!
You’re related to Wallis? Why does this sound familiar?
Bessie. Bessie Wallis Warfield was her name.
Or, as the Queen called her – “That Simpson Bitch.”
“Cookie”.
That roboforming thing looks really interesting. Maybe tomorrow.
Speaking of “things you don’t know”- When I was in high school, I never paid much attention to what other people’s parents did. One of my good friends parents were both doctors, and it was impossible to know about that. Other people did other stuff..
One day, for reasons unknown, I was talking to one of my friends; I think we were on the way to go skiing, and he told me his dead was a packaging design engineer for International Paper in Hudson Falls. That sounded extremely weird to me at the time (cool, but weird), but ever since, now and then I will see some sort of packaging and think, “Somebody spent a lot of time and energy figuring out how to make that work.”
My mother in law works for Hallmark and I’m always surprised when she mentions the engineers that are employed who work on…I don’t know. Glue? My small brain can’t comprehend the intricacies of the basic shit I absolutely take for granted.

Or the production lines.

Harry and Meghan have both produced valuable goods and services that people have voluntarily paid for – his book, her Suits acting.
So, no wonder they get snubbed for acting like peasants.

Wikipedia does not permit anything from the Daily Mail to be used as a citation. Interesting that college instructors won’t allow Wikipedia to be cited. Turn, turn, turn.

The non vinyl top hidden headlight 67 looks so much better.
Too Many Cadillac Customers Complained About This 1967 Eldorado Issue…
I love that it lost the hidden headlights because FedGov came out with a rule for how fast the lights had to deploy because of tunnels. GM, being GM, decided to take the opportunity to go standard lights with an ugly ass grill.
Meanwhile the US was totally ok with shit sealed beam lights until the 90s. Because safety!
The government is your friend, and they know best.
That “friend” that won’t leave, eats all your food and trashes your house, then judges you for your actions.
I am diggin’ those hidden ‘lights.
Same channel has a great video on the Torando and Rivera of that generation and platform.
His and my favorite is the Olds on looks, but the best driver is the Rivera. Buick kept it rear drive to save a significant chunk of cash. That allowed better suspension and interior with money left over. It was also the best seller of the three.
Give me a Boat Tail Rivera, 71-73, with the 455. Straight up dope.
The day has gone remarkably well. I anticipate more to come.
Had fun at Global Fest and juggled with some kids. I drew in talent far better than Dad did. I am not entirely curious as to why.
Cubs coming up and it’ll be Triscuits w olive tapenade and salami. Comfort food as close to Schlotzky’s as possible without any real effort. I think taking this covenant of the Cubs will assist their efforts. If not, I just didn’t eat enough of them. (And possibly many other actual answers to their potential woes-to-come (if they do) in T-Minus eight minutes.
I am pleased to hear it.
A little good news for your weekend: lots of people are moving to Tampa, but they’re not putting their kids in the government schools.
Paywalled, so archived https://archive.ph/pRX1n
Same in NYC – dropping like a stone here.
The difference, I suspect, is that many if not most of them are simply not going to school at all anymore.
At least if they’re not in public school they’re less likely to be taken from their parents by CPS for refusing to put them on trans affirming care.

I remember seeing it in a London hotel room with my parents as a wee one. But, I later learned it comes from a Trevanian “novel” so, pass.
Watch it despite being from Travanian. Cassidy does a great job and so does Eastwood. The climbing scenes are not terribly realistic in places but part of the Eiger part was filmed on the lower part of the route and the escape tunnel
Plus the character George is better looking than almost any other George on the planet.
lol, you almost had me

LOL work really oughtta check my PTO status before calling. Given that my work machine is unplugged and packed into a moving bin I think I did pretty well helping the night staff from memory.
You would have been justified in making them squirm for awhile, but it’s also fuel for ‘rhywun is exempt from the back-to-the-office rule” decision.
I still don’t know if I will have a job, say, next year.
The situation is seriously messed up but given that the next time I log in I will be a literally a three-hour commute away from the nearest office, the ball is in their court.
Better to ask forgiveness than to beg permission.

I will be bringing tried and true smoked salmon, some Wisconnie sharp cheddar, and some Norf Dakoda tangy summer sausage.
Understood, we have some cuke pickles suffering the same problem.
We’re ready to crank up tomorrow, had the stove going in the garage, warming up the H.

I have encountered three ephemeral beings while traversing the Firstiverse.
LOL, Kept the zoom open to see if anyone showed up. Some guy named mark something enters the zoom,
Me: And who might you be?
Him: It;s Mark something. Is Ryan going to be in on this?
Me: Who?
Him: Ryan Johnson, is he going to be in on the meeting.
Me: *LOOK OF CONFUSION*
HIM: I think I got linked to the wrong meeting
He left the zoom
lol how does that happen?!
Mark Something has a Glibfriend?
I was thinking the same thing – the links are random, so it’s not like some rando got a letter wrong…
Mark was a glowie.
I’ve always kind of liked the Buffies but am getting annoyed at all the “Coach Prime” slobbering by the announcers every week.

Oh, that. That’s too many time zones away to catch my attention.
It has potential to earn “most personal fouls in a game”. It’s chippy.
14 pints of salsa canned from 17 lbs. of Roma tomatoes. Future Nick (circa January 2024) better damn well appreciate what current Nick has done.
Also changed the rear brake pads on my girlfriend’s car. No more grinding.
Let’s hope there is some grinding for changing her brake pads.
Giggity.
So, how exactly did they manage to find all of these women for a story unless they solicited them? There have been no prior allegations and nothing we know of that could have sparked an investigation, but somehow they ended up with half a dozen different stories of illegal behavior. Not one went to the police.
They say this was an open secret in TV and radio production world UK. Someone went to these papers with this story idea, and someone put them in touch with these women. They are full of shit when they claim there was no such coordination.
It is amazing how little tomato “product” remains after scalding, peeling, and , seeding 17 lbs. of Roma tomatoes.,
Call me a cynical asshole (I am one so no skin off my nose) but I strongly suspect old Russell wouldn’t have these accusations being tossed his way if he wasn’t antivax and anti Ukraine war. His shtick grates on me after a while but he seems to be a truth seeker for what that’s worth and a decent enough fellow. When it comes to these accusations, the way things are now Imma need some proof and someone’s word don’t quite cut it.
Tonight saw both Mark Davis Hanson and Thomas Sowell interviewed by Mark Levin. Just woke up and this had coalesced in my foggy brain.
Levin refers to the left today as marxists and Hanson calls them Jacobins. They do both embrace similar mish-mashes of Liberty and Equality. By equality of course they mean equity….equal outcomes for all. This creates an incoherent philosophy as equity requires cutting the tall poppy – negating liberty…and vice versa.
Another commonality is that the leaders do not anymore believe in the ideals than I believe in STEVE SMITH. These ideals are simply conduits to power for the leadership. It is the followers who are required to engage in all sorts of cognitive dissonance and suspension of disbelief to hammer the square peg.
I know…STEVE SMITH will make a believer out of me and by make a bleever out of me mean…
Something else the philosophies have in common.
I may not have made my point very well. I plead sleepiness.
Both men were making comparisons of our contemporary progressive movement to those older failed political schools of thought. Both movements were the inverse of Silent Cal’s famous quip “If all men are created equal, that is final. If they are endowed with inalienable rights, that is final. If governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, that is final. No advance, no progress can be made beyond these propositions. If anyone wishes to deny their truth or their soundness, the only direction in which he can proceed historically is not forward, but backward toward the time when there was no equality, no rights of the individual, no rule of the people. Those who wish to proceed in that direction can not lay claim to progress. They are reactionary. Their ideas are not more modern, but more ancient, than those of the Revolutionary fathers.”
“If they are endowed with inalienable rights…” is the sticking point for those with an insatiable hunger for power and thus their point of attack. All of these alternate philosophies are just some regressive fun-house mirror image of each other.
I am probably just rambling nonsense….maybe I should eat some more peas and rice and get back to bed.
I was thumbing through Trotsky’s Permanent Revolution and he was whining about how Stalin was claiming Russia demanded customized socialism but everywhere else got cookie cutter socialism or other critiques of Stalin. Similar thought. Stalin didn’t give squat about revolution or creating a socialist ideal. The fucker just wanted to be top dog and eliminate any personal threats. His philosophy was just cover.
You put it better than I did. Cover, indeed. I am convinced the incoherent philosophies were concocted specifically for that purpose.
See: American left today.
Good morning all!

Lefties are trying to imply that Trump is delusional and misspoke when he claimed to be running against Obama in 2024.
I think he knows exactly what he said, and that he is correct.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12527597/donald-trump-77-joe-biden-80-presidential-age-limits-mental-testing.html
Of course he is correct. Someone is pulling Biden’s strings and the top contenders are Obama, Clinton and their lickspittles. I am not the only one with that suspicion. I dont understand why no one in the press seems curious about that. Incuriousness is responsible for an awful lot of what we dont know. That incuriousness seems to me to be evidence of snake in the grass behavior by the people that purport to be in opposition to the left. I am looking at. you Republican Party.
Most people are dummies that cant tell the difference between something obvious and ‘conspiracy theory’, i.e. anything that departs from the narrative fed to the public.
