So because of reasons, we ended up having five dogs around us last night. Not five little yap yaps, but five big, hulking dogs. All of whom got one another excited. And to make it worse, they all hadn’t met before and were thrown together, with many fights anticipated. A large pit bull was among them, and our bets went on him for the second round win. Fooled us, they all instantly bonded into a pack, but not before ripping several holes in my hand and arm as well as knocking down NPR Lady (who is quite tiny) in a fit of jumping enthusiasm. Kaiser was so excited that his jumping was the all-four-feet-in-the-air variety. Anyway, I am metaphorically licking my wounds, Kaiser is begging to go back to his new-found pack, and NPR Lady is trying hard to make an excuse why she won’t be there.
Speaking of not being there, apparently September 3 was astrologically poor for anything I give a shit about. But still, it’s the birthday of the inventor of the pussy magnet; a woman who played second fiddle to Margaret Dumont; the last worthwhile Democrat; a guy who had the blues every day; a pretty decent cartoonist who was an inspiration and unbelievably kind to my father; the only person named Ralph I would have ever banged; a militant free-market economist; a great actress who had very bad luck; a not so great actress who made her fortune from her tits; and a guy we’d all like to hang out with.
On to Links.
Drowning Man? Really, this is just like Woodstock, but the hippies were made of sterner stuff.
Why is this guy’s head not on a pike as a warning to other wannabe dictators?
None were as good as Carlos Danger.
Too bad, because their food is really, really good.
Didn’t they already do this in Spinal Tap?
I have certainly found this to be true.
Jupiter’s moons cause volcano activity on Earth. This would make a great science fiction story.
For whatever reason, I’ve been on a clawhammer-style banjo kick lately. So Old Guy Music is an exemplar of the style, played by a true master. Makes me want to squeal like a pig.
Fuck Burning Man, they shut down for covid.
The rumors are that this time they’re shutting down for something like Ebola.
Props to Chris Rock and some DJ I’ve never heard of for just walking out of there… though if the rumors are true, there better be some testing and isolation.
Personally, I suspect that if it is all flooded and hygenie is lacking there may just be dysentery or something and folks are blowing it out of proportion.
Ewwwww!
some DJ I’ve never heard of
Diplo is one of those “ he does what now? And he’s worth $50 million?”
I gotta respect his ability to make that kind of loot.
With that kind of scratch he must be a “Youtube influencer”. 🙄
BWAHAHAHahaha
So you’re saying it was a Five Dog Night? [Insert obvious musical link here.]

Re: Netanyahu and the Eritreans — one would think the Jews would be just a tad more sensitive about the notion of ‘collective guilt.’
But politics corrupts everything.
Looked to me like he was calling for the deportation of the ones who rioted, not every Eritrean he could get his hands on.
Que?
Minor gravitational flux apparently perturbs the earth interior processes enough to cause changes in tectonic activity.
It makes sense, I suppose… and I expect every significant body (okay, and insignificant but that doubtless would get into the very-hard-to-measure zone) has some impact due to changes in gravitational vectors and all… this paper presumable is just able to match some pattern to the Jovians. I’m sure Luna dominates, followed by Sol — but they may be more “steady state” and hard to show differences and all.
The ramblings of ignorance on a Sunday morning….. an American tradition! I’m just not doing it at the diner down the street…
I get it. I’m just skeptical.
The major contributors of alien warships orbiting the moon and gravitational tractor beams from Uranus should drown out the other signals.
Hey — I wipe better than that!
Wipe-out?
Any excuse to play those two drumming lunatics.
a woman who played second fiddle to Margaret Dumont;
A pearl of a woman.
a not so great actress who made her fortune from her tits;
Most of the Glibs (with the exclusion of the XX Glibs) wish they could make a fortune from their tits.
Nah… if I went that way to make a living it would more likely be an ostrich ranch or something as a petting zoo. Can’t imagine trying to keep track of all those small birds.
I can only assume that it is a mix of the Uniparty’s most ardent followers for this puppet administration still worshiping him (I mean seriously… are they still selling the stupid votive candles? Talk about idolatry in the flesh and all…), and the “If we admit we were wrong about anything, people might expect accountability”.
Given the last decade or so — I think they’re wrong. No one is ever held accountable for any fuck-up… so they could come clean. Not that they will.
Wait… she actually broke a leg… isn’t that supposed to be what all the thespians wish for?
Less snarky — yeah, she was really good in everything I saw her in.
And Communism…. was just a red herring.
“but the hippies were made of sterner stuff.”

They at least all got a well needed shower. I’m sure the pachouli oil vendor lost his ass.

Amazingly authoritarian.
Remember when the “government is just organized crime” people sounded crazy?
Gorram anti-growth authoritarian control freaks…. This especially pisses me off because I’ve never been in the “Standard usage” bucket for PG&E — which as far as I can tell must be “cardboard box with one LED bulb” or something. So I pay out the nose for the privilege of living my life as I see fit. And look for efficiencies where it makes economic sense… you know, like most sane people would do and what market forces drive folks to… it they’d stop putting their greasy thumbs all over the supply side and try to force the demand side… grumble bitch moan complain…
I’ve had the same question with the “typical” user stat my utility gives me. Do these people live in tents? Do they not use air conditioning? Because somehow they are using a whole lot less electricity than we are.
“Your usage increased significantly last month*!”

“We’re going to need to do this through a mixture of carrots and hopefully, errr, perhaps not so many sticks…But we’re likely to see an increasing move towards a more stick-like intervention into the future,…”

They start with a small stick but it gets bigger and bigger until the last of the holdouts are simply put into a ditch and shot.

How did you find that article about volcanoes?
That has to be a parody, right? I mean, the language is seemingly intentionally obtuse. The ludicrous buzzwords and silly conjectures – I thought the “global eruptive activity is modulated by commensurable orbital moments of the Jovian planets, whose influence is also detected in solar activity.” was a dead giveaway. Jupiter controls the sun cycle? That’s kinda silly. I mean, sure, it has a powerful magnetic field… but the rotation of the sun is way, way, way, way faster than the orbit of Jupiter. And the eccentricity of the orbit of jupiter is minuscule.
Give it a few billion more years and maybe that’ll be plausible…. when the sun expands to somewhere around the orbit of Mars.
Chicken Littles: “See! We told you climate change is coming! Repent now, sinner!”
4 billion years out there won’t be any climate change because there won’t be any climate of any kind.
There must be some way to blame this on Trump and his desire to destroy democracy.
“White supremacists march on Orlando, waving swastika flags and raising Heil Hitler salutes – just days after racist Dollar General store attack in Jacksonville that left three dead
Multiple groups of professed neo-Nazis were spotted marching through parks in the Orlando area Saturday, with one group even ending up at the gates of Walt Disney World.
Social media videos showed the groups – known as ‘Blood Tribe’ and ‘The Goyim Defense League’ – taking to the streets in Cranes Roost Park in Altamonte Spring.”

Nazis love Yiddish.
Again? Didn’t they try this already with a mysterious “We support DeSantis” attempt at smearing him in the press?
A more cynical man might think that either the Dems or the Trump organization still sees him as a threat… (oh wait… I am cynical enough to think that…)
I mean, besides the glowies — I expect the number of actual Neo-Nazis in this country would fit in a high school gym and all. But of course, the racial dividers are doing their damndest to make more so they’ll have an excuse to continue the grift / smear their enemies / crack down on liberties…. so maybe that’s finally kicking in.

“It has been called the greatest grift in American history: an estimated $280 billion of taxpayer money that was supposed to help needy families and businesses through the COVID pandemic has been stolen.
Only about $8 billion has been recovered through Justice Department prosecutions, according to a new congressional letter that is raising serious concern that the government is essentially yawning at a staggering amount of loss in tax dollars.”

Your tax dollars at work.

How is it even possible that we have not run out of other people’s money yet?!

Very few actual tax dollars were harmed, you know. More like borrowed or printed dollars.

“Oberlin College Lacrosse Coach “Burned at the Stake” for Supporting Women’s Sports
Russell told IWF that when she took over as head coach for Oberlin College’s women’s lacrosse team in 2018, she thought it would be the perfect place for her. The college proudly promotes its progressive values and flies a rainbow flag directly alongside—not below—the American flag.
With Oberlin’s reputation as a “bastion for progressive politics,” Russell thought she would fit right in on campus. She has a free-spirited personality, dresses in a bohemian, nonconformist style, and often foregoes shoes entirely—weather permitting. Her hair is free-flowing and full of natural curls. You might find her doing yoga flows in the morning or nibbling on granola throughout her day.
But every time she has voiced a dissenting opinion, Russell says she has been silenced—the opposite of how she expected this liberally-minded campus to operate. Now, Russell admits that Oberlin is the most hypocritical institution she has ever worked for.”

Surprise, surprise, surprise
In Kim Russell’s memory, the room had dark energy. Chairs were set up in a circle, and she was at the epicenter.
That’s not what “epicenter” means. You get the basics wrong in the first sentence, and I’m giving up on your article before I even get to the second paragraph.
Tough crowd.
The article is TL;DR for me but I welcome any pushback against the trans cult.
Ever notice how non-conformists all look, think, and behave exactly the same? They must all come out of the non-conformist cookie cutter.
Steve Martin handled this with the “nonconformist’s oath” back in the 70s.

“Even in red states radical gender ideology pervades public schools. Schools “trans” kids from one gender to another without even informing parents. Schools use pornographic books to teach reading to kids. Administrators encourage men dressed as sexualized women to read children stories. How is this happening? Planned Parenthood and its
affiliates, funded by the federal government, are the primary drivers and providers of such programs.
Offices in the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) run four main grant programs for states, localities, and other entities. The two largest programs alone serve over 170,000 students each year across all fifty states,1 and they train thousands of teachers and facilitators, so their effects spread. HHS funds, and Planned Parenthood with its allies, develop dozens of new programs and studies every year. Spending on these four biggest sex education programs since 2010 exceeds $2.2 billion. Planned Parenthood and its allies have won a large proportion of these grants, and they dominate the grant-making process.”

As sirens blared across the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and cell phones lit up with alerts of an active shooter, Micah Baldonado cried quietly at his desk while his teacher proceeded with the lecture.
“I know there’s no right way to react, but I just lost it,” he said. “I couldn’t hold back tears. My teacher actually kept teaching for maybe 30 minutes even after receiving alerts of an active shooter.”
The senior from Charlotte said rumors spread quickly across campus during a three-hour lockdown and police manhunt on Aug. 28 resulting in the arrest of a UNC graduate student.
Tailei Qi, 34, is being held without bond on charges of first-degree murder and having a gun on educational property in connection with the shooting death of associate professor Zijie Yan inside a science building.
Baldonado spent hours listening to the police scanner and reading news reports from inside his locked classroom during what he referred to as an information vacuum. He is one of many students criticizing the school’s communication, preparedness and staff response.
Performative helplessness.
This country is doomed.
My nephew was there, in the next building over. They were not told anything useful (like, 1 asian dude with a handgun wearing a beanie versus 3 nordic dudes with AR-15 clones waving “climate change” flags shooting everyone in sight) so they barricaded the door with all of the furniture. That night they were out partying and laughing at the offers of “safe spaces” being pushed.
Paraphrasing, he said, “Dude. You never even met any of these people. You didn’t see anything. There are 45,000 people on campus. They don’t shut down a small city every time there is a crime somewhere in town. What are you even talking about??”
Also, I had classes in that building. So I am traumatized.
Who’s going here with me?

Ah yes. Polar bears. Huh, I thought Climate Crisis™ killed them all.
At least one person in your party is required to carry a gun on Svalbard.
Not sure where the cap came from – guessing a fan gift.
An Associated Press reporter who was on campus during the lockdown observed hundreds of confused students evacuated from buildings without receiving clear directions before a 4:14 p.m. “all clear” message was sent. Many were left crying and calling their parents from sidewalks, not knowing where to go.
If the ultimate goal was to create a population completely without the ability to think or act on their own behalf, I’d say the operation was a success.

“As someone who spends up to half their time working on the Continent and thinks former United States President Donald Trump — or at least someone with his isolationist and anti-European policies — will be the Republican nominee, I believe a MAGA-style Republican victory in next year’s U.S. presidential election could, in the end, be worse for the EU than for the U.S. Such an outcome will imperil European unity and undermine the progress achieved on many fronts in response to the war in Ukraine.”

An american president threatening eu unity sounds silly. That being said i doubt if reelected Trump would do anything too out of the ordinary
“…isolationist and anti-European….”
Policies that cut the Euroweenies off from Daddy Sugarbucks. It sickened me before to hear Euro’s brag about their paid time off etc and hear the morons here think we should be more like Europe. Who did those dummies think were paying for the Euros free time and socialized programs?
I hope Trump does get elected and cuts their water the fuck off. I would also like to see the scam artist in the exceedingly non-democratic Ukraine squashed like a bug. Cut his water off and let Putin have the little worm.

Baldonado’s petition demands locks on all classrooms, better faculty training and enhancements to the alert system, arguing the alerts were prompt but so vague that misinformation proliferated. It says “specific, accurate details about active threats, especially shooters — including their number, location, and movement directions — are crucial.”

Good morning, Old Man!
Here’s some world class dirty old mannin’.
The problem will solve itself
Human-caused climate change is wreaking havoc on the Gulf Coast, which is already experiencing some of the fastest sea level rise in the world. As the ocean swallows shore, it makes the impacts of storm surge and flooding more dangerous for the communities in these low-lying areas.
To make matters worse, many insurance companies are also pulling out of some Gulf states, leaving homeowners and businesses with more risk and fewer options to finance their recovery in a way that will leave buildings stronger and better able to withstand the next storm.
“One of the major questions we have going forward is should we rebuild these areas and spend federal and state dollars to continue to rebuild areas that will be hit in the future,” Jesse Keenan, a professor of sustainable real estate at Tulane University’s School of Architecture, told CNN.
Florida is the site of the latest major hurricane, but experts CNN spoke to said the entire Gulf Coast is experiencing a perfect storm of climate impacts, like sea level rise and stronger storms fueled by warming waters, combined with a shrinking insurance pool in states like Florida and Louisiana.
Florida will meet its inescapable doom any day now.
“Should we be spending to rebuild…”
That’s new. For the first 40 years of that argument it was “should people be allowed to rebuild?”
well, of course, the questions are
who is we?
whose money is we spending?
Money is fake anyway so does it matter?
There are different factors at play in all three states, but with similar outcomes: As an increasing number of private insurers stop offering flood or wildfire policies or go bankrupt, more people are driven to the state-supported insurer of last resort, where they typically have to pay more money for a narrower policy.
That sounds an awful lot like risk based insurance. We cannot allow that.
