Kind of a mixed bag this week, but we’ve seen far worse.
Generally good luck this week, with an abrupt turn towards the unpleasant, unpredictable, and violent on Friday thanks to Mars and Mercury sharing a mutual interest in the destructive. That gets leavened the following day — but only if you’re married. It’s also a good day to propose marriage if you were trying to schedule that.
Taurus: Temperance reversed – There is wisdom in moderation, and then there is hating fun. This is the latter.
Gemini: Page of Coins reversed – Someone does a crappy job of trying to rip you off.
Cancer: 8 of Cups reversed – Leaving your troubles behind.
Leo: 6 of Cups – This is really an odd card if you’re trying to use it freestanding. It’s generally positive. The most concrete thing it can indicate by itself is that good deeds or social bonds made in the not-recent past are beneficial in the current situation.
Virgo: 5 of Coins – there will be legitimate cause for envy.
Libra: The World reversed – Defying expectations, prediction fail.
Scorpio: Queen of Cups – Something involving a hot mama.
Sagittarius: King of Coins reversed – A rich asshole being an asshole.
Capricorn: Strength – *flexes* Everything’s going your way.
Aquarius: 6 of Cups reversed – a high possibility of misjudging things. If you were sharing an account with a Gemini, that crappy con would succeed.

Not sufficiently shitty.
I like that the ice cream barge video included a picture of a Yuengling Ice Cream truck and included a “I’m from the government and I’m here to help” bit. If you want to know more about them, Drachinifel has a longer video on them.

As a matter of fact her recovery from hip replacement is going remarkably well.
That is good to hear JI. May your recovery continue well.
I had aftermarket hips put in on both sides. My only regret is that I didn’t do it a couple of years earlier.
Ah, the wife, not me. I’m still original equipment.
Excellent news
Is a card name missing here?
Anxious Arians need to know.
The Santa card, but it isn’t missing; it’s running to punch an Arian!

I got a time card. It says,”Nobody cares. Go back to work.”
I think that means I’m special.
You know who else was an anxious aryan…?

Terrible news
Experts note that the caldera deposit could give the U.S. a competitive advantage in battery supply. At the same time, non-governmental organizations believe short-term profit shouldnât overshadow the ecological and historical wealth found in Oregonâs high desert.
Mining companies emphasize their intent to follow federal standards and incorporate feedback from local communities. Yet friction persists over whether that outreach is genuine.
Sierra Club Oregon suggests itâs possible to develop lithium alternatives or find better ways to source the metal. Advocates of the project maintain that these clays represent a crucial resource in an era when every major carmaker is transitioning to electric models.
——-
The trade-off is that most lithium deposits, wherever they are, carry certain environmental implications. A few watchers say this moment holds a chance to reevaluate how to conduct resource extraction.
Better just leave it in the ground and hope for a miracle.
The news never changes
https://www.americanexperiment.org/minnesotas-massive-manganese-deposits-more-wealth-under-our-feet/
Not a spoonful of dirt has been turned and every attempt will be met with resistance. Already 7 years have passed.
Manganese has gone up quite a bit in recent years. Iâm in the mining industry and work on wear parts, about to arc air and weld up a crack in some manganese rolls shells in about two hours.
It is only right and just that ugly, poor people of color in countries we will never see are subject to the environmental devastation necessary to sustain our consumption. How dare you even think of bringing that somewhere we might notice it?!
Yeah, if the other option is wasting it on EV’s.
But I seem to recall that lithium is useful for things other than Green New Deal fantasies.
It is used in medicines to treat them as well
If the opponents are strong advocates for nuclear energy, I would cut them some slack. Otherwise, fuckem.
*golf clap for Jarflex*
Those assholes have never been to the Oregon high desert.

MILF day T&A.
https://archive.is/lYE09
Slutty Sunday.
This whole situation is tearing my soul apart. Today, my mom casually drops that she hopes she can rebuild her relationships with cunty aunts. She’s said this before, and I wasn’t sure she meant it, but today I found out she’s serious.
Patty == sister #1, deceased, who had the bright idea for mom and Millie and Susie to live together
Millie == sister #2, the one who yells and calls names, and called me a liar and also mean and nasty
Mom
Susie == sister #4, blah blah blah
Cindy == sister #5, sweet, but an utter milquetoast and was in an abusive marriage for decades till the asshole died
Mary Jane == sister #6, much younger than the rest, the golden child, my gpa died when she was 10, so my dad was kind of her father/big brother figure), and most definitely NOT Team Susie, but she’s always been distant from the rest
The catalyst for this is Sister #4, Cindy. Cindy is the family fave. Also, she is delicate and there’s a protective instinct going on. Mom doesn’t want Cindy to throw her over in favor of Susie and Millie because they’ve done a good job of poisoning that well. Mom and I went to visit Cindy last weekend and I didn’t notice at first, but Cindy barely spoke to me.
Anyway, Cindy is “staying neutral.” Mom is deathly afraid of losing Cindy TOO, so if Cindy wants to visit with Susie and Millie with Mom in the vicinity, Mom believes she must then also have a relationship with Susie and Millie.
I asked her if she was really serious about having a relationship with people who abused her, yelled at her, called her names, and were hateful to her kids. She thinks if she wants to keep a relationship with Cindy, which she very desperately does, she’ll have to be around them and it’s easier to be around someone if you have a rebuilt relationship. I told her all she has to do is ignore Susie and Millie if they happen to be at a family event, but apparently, this is not possible. So, the only alternative is to rebuild the relationship.
I told her I would consider any attempt at reconciliation with those two cunts a personal betrayal. She didn’t like that.
She asked me, “If Cindy came to spend the night at my apartment, and she wanted Susie and Millie to come over and play dominoes, you wouldn’t let me?”
“You can do what you want. And I can do and think what I want.”
“So you’re threatening me?”
“It’s not a threat at all. I’m drawing my boundaries. Am I asking you to choose between them and me? You better believe I am. I would NEVER associate with people who called my kids names and trashed their reputations, ESPECIALLY if they were trying to protect me.”
And ⊠she doesn’t get why I’m upset. Like, if she can forgive them, I should be okay with that. I told her it’s not about forgiveness. It’s about trust. Christ told us to forgive. He didn’t say hang around to let people keep abusing you.
I told her Cindy was NOT staying neutral. When you stay silent in the face of an abuser, you’ve taken the abuser’s side.
She’s got some disconnect going on, but I can see my future clearly now, and it’s going to be under the wheels of a bus.
Ugh.
Iâm watching my parents start dealing with the end of their lives. Both turn 76 this year and my mother in particular is starting to revert to what I have to assume is behavior she had as a child, pushing the only responsible person left in her family away (me) and rekindling relationships with further flung family and my irresponsible
Sister who was always the favorite.
I only hope I donât treat my kids weird as well in thirty years.
My kids live in TX and don’t get to visit too often. We stayed tied together via email. Mrs F and I are trying to gather up loose ends to make the final day (s) easier for everyone. The last few years have brought daughter and son closer together and I’m sure they talk amongst themselves about reality.
The executor of our estate is my wife’s niece. She has suddenly seen the hand writing on the wall and now is concerned about what her responsibilities are.
Sorry to hear that kind of news, Moj. All I can offer is compassion, certainly not advice that you don’t need
My two brothers are gone but we always got along. OTOH we didn’t live near one another and enjoyed each other’s visits.
So, we had another discussion, wherein she reminded me that she said I was right (although I didn’t remember what it was I was right about) that she should just cut S&M off. She’s grieving. I get it. She’s grieving the decades she invested into her congregation and they all abandoned her, and mine is not living up to her expectations,* so she’s not happy here, either.
She’s eager to move out, which is kinda hurtful, but also understandable. She likes being on her own and here she can’t help but feel like a guest at best or a burden at worst, even though we don’t treat her that way (I hope?). I’d also kinda like to have my house back to myself and not always have to have an ear open for trouble.
But the reality is, my mother and I have never been good roommates. Ever. We’re just too different to live together, and it’s a miracle we were able to forge a relationship after my dad died. If she stays much longer, we’re going to end up at each other’s throats like we always have been when we lived together.
What I find interesting, though, is that, while cunty aunts won’t confront me directly because they’re cowards, and prey on Mom because she’s non-confrontational and thus, weak and fair game, she feels totally free to scream at me when she’s pissed off, and I her. It’s like I’m the ONLY person she can trust to let it all out, and she doesn’t even see it. I give her security, and I’m glad to do that.
*So, we’re wildly different people. She was hurt that few people in the new-to-her congregation introduced themselves, talked to her, asked her about herself, and she forgot all the ones who were here when she was first brought home from the hospital.
Well, to me it’s understandable because there’s a lot going on in people’s lives and a lay clergy, so to me, she’s gotten more attention than I did when I moved in, but that’s not my focus.
She asked me why I liked my congregation. I told her which congregation doesn’t matter. I’m with my people, my community. I’m home. This is my identity. I can go anywhere in the world and go to my church and soak up the same vibe. That was a completely foreign concept to her.
And also, relationships take time to build. You can’t do it with a “Hi, I’m Phyllis!” and expect to be invited to game night next Friday.
What she’s doing is mourning the loss of her decades-old support system that her sisters trashed, and she needs to see a grief therapist.
Having your own boundaries is a very good and healthy thing to do, even including cutting people out of your life when called for. Them or me ultimatums about your Mom’s siblings to your Mom sounds less about boundaries and more about spite. I am probably out of bounds here, but I have watched my own family go down this path, and it just multiplies pain.
I can see there’s a very fine line there, yes, but it’s not spite. It’s hurt that she would choose to associate with someone who hurt her kid. But then, that wouldn’t be the first time she’s done it, either.
Sorry Mojeaux
Moj, isn’t the ward bishop of any help? Religious folks should expect advice and guidance from their religious leaders or of what use are they?
Remember, we have a lay clergy.
It shouldn’t be the purview of the priesthood leaders to get in the middle of a family financial squabble, ESPECIALLY when they’re only getting one side of the story (mY nIeCe Is KiCkInG mE oUt Of My HoUsE iN tHe MiDdLe Of WiNtEr AnD tRyInG tO kILl mY sIsTeR tO tAkE hEr MoNeY), and not digging for the other side. Mind you, these people have known me and Mom FAR longer than they’ve known Susie, so this has been a bit of a slap in the face,
Anyway, Susie sucked the entire male population of their ward into it immediately with her version, and I was getting calls left and right, priesthood exhorting me to come to the negotiation table (subtext: quit being mean), but this is not my first rodeo with the brethren. “Not only will I not negotiate, there is no table.”
NONE of these men came to me to ASK QUESTIONS, and THEY KNOW ME. Nobody was interested in talking to either me or my brothers. They were carrying Susie’s water.
I believe the issue crawled up the ladder to the stake president.
So, I played my trump card and called up a good friend of mine who is A) a litigator and B) an area authority, and cried on his shoulder. He was very distressed by the whole thing, and he told me the only people who win are the lawyers (yep, I know), BUT he ALSO said we did exactly what he would have told us to do (the motion for partition). Anyway, I THINK he went back to the stake and ward, and told them to get out of it, because suddenly I was not being beset by priesthood, and Susie had to go find a lawyer she had to pay.
I’m not getting MY bishop/ward involved in this because it’s none of his business, and I doubt highly they would want to be involved. This is a legal matter, not something the bishopric should stick its nose in.
Now, as far as counseling, sure, I should probably call him and ask him if he can spare a sec to listen to Mom’s concerns.
Fuck. *Biggest online squeeze from afar*
They finally put out some footage from ‘Kung Fury: The Movie’, be careful if you’re someone who doesn’t like spoilers, as I think this sizzle reel has a lot of them. Just don’t watch the whole thing if that’s the case. Or watch the whole thing because there is still no word on if it will ever get released.
I am speechless with awe.
How did they leave out Chuck Norris?
Somebody needs to make Kung Furry: The Movie.
No.
King Flurry, the movie of the blizzard that froze everyone to death because windmills wouldn’t turn and the snow covered the solar panels.
Boy that is a long trailer. Maybe that is the whole short film and we are being pranked.
It’s been confirmed that it’s a leaked sizzle reel for distributors.
re: the mining conversation above.
Every time, as predictable as the sun rise – “We have discovered the possibility of much greater prosperity !”
Watermelons: “We will go to our graves before we let you do that!”
“… fine weather for the concert here this afternoon. I’m standing here in front of the stage,â the reporter lied, âin the middle of the Rudlit Desert, and with the aid of hyperbinoptic glasses I can just about make out the huge audience cowering there on the horizon all around me. Behind me the speaker stacks rise like a sheer cliff face, and high above me the sun is shining away and doesn’t know what’s going to hit it.
The environmentalist lobby do know what’s going to hit it, and they claim that the concert will cause earthquakes, tidal waves, hurricanes, irreparable damage to the atmosphere, and all the usual things that environmentalists usually go on about.”
“But I’ve just had a report that a representative of Disaster Area met with the environmentalists at lunchtime, and had them all shot, so nothing now lies in the way…”
Ugh I need to see an eye doctor bad.
I hope to tell them, “I don’t want ‘transitions’. I’m still wearing my old ones for a reason.” What I want is a single prescription that hopefully works for computer to distant. If I wanna read a book I’ll just take them off like I do now.
I like a happy ending.
rhywun, I ended up having two pairs of glasses, one for computer time and general close up (which I just wear around the house anyway, as it doesn’t matter if I am blurry at 20′) and a pair of bifocals for outside (which I wear if I want to actually read a real book) as it is all about distances.
I tried transitions, man did I hate that shit.
I guess I would rather have two pairs than either bifocals or transitions.
My ten-year-old pair works equally well (i.e. slightly blurry) at both longish computer distance – say 3 or 4 feet away, and far distance. I hope to get a single pair for those needs. We’ll see.
I also need dentures and I lost most of my hearing in one ear during a recent stay in the hospital.
Whee!
Yep, the warranty expired, and now everything is falling apart.
“I also need dentures”
If I may pry:
ISTR we’re the same age – dentures seem early.
Bad genes and/or misspent youth?
Feel free to tell me to fuck off, of course.
I had all my teeth removed for other reasons.
I have been eating nothing but soup and eggs for a few months now.
On the plus side I have lost 30 pounds.
Oof, sorry to hear.
Congrats on the weight loss, at least.
lol Docs were concerned about the weight loss. I’m like, have you looked at me?! I am under 200 pounds for the first time in recent memory. I’ll take it.
Deepest sympathies, Rhy.
I also need dentures and I lost most of my hearing in one ear during a recent stay in the hospital.

“My first thought was how is Jack Klugman gonna help.”

Now, of course, I have The Six Million Dollar Man theme running through my head.

And my work is done here.
This was open pit iron mining country, mostly union jobs. Slowly the mining disappeared, in the ’50s-’60s, along with the jobs, of course. Now no one except a few geezers remember those days. The mine pits filled with clear deep water and trout were planted.
Now, of course, because of the last 50-60 years of good times the lake shore has been taken over by older city folk and the younger folks have gone off to seek their fortune in the cities. Any discussion of mining brings the NIMBys out in force.
Hey, can any of you fine Glibs give an opinion or recommendation for a near-real-time wearable language translation device?

I dont have the bandwidth to write a breaking piece on the ATC situation.
First…Newark. This isnt new. The airspace moved months ago before Trump. People like me, my buddy and a few others actually screamed that what we are seeing now, will happen.
They shrugged.
Now, the FAA is going to, after spending money on the failed idea, just do what was recommended.
I just don’t trust the MSM freakout.
Or should I.
Its half and half. But honestly…one was a telecom issue (L3Harris) the other one our own problem
It is bad when controlled airspace goes uncontrolled.
Tripacer, DB etc know how to operate on both. Commercial pilots will have to pull up relatively lost knowledge in that situation.
Man the shrimp boats.
Can’t we have full-sized boats?
I don’t understand the negativity – they are doing what was recommended is that the wrong course of action?
They were doing what was recommend by Raytheon and our second level cause they said so. Not what people knew on the ground. Thing…Challenger but less dead folk…for now
Scorpio: Queen of Cups â Something involving a hot mama.
In Back to the Future, there’s a scene where Marty finds George McFly up in a tree with binoculars looking into Lorraine’s room while she’s changing. George then falls out of the tree in front of Lorraine’s father’s oncoming car. Marty pushes George out of the way and gets hit himself, interrupting what would have been George’s opportunity to meet Lorraine. Lorraine’s father gets out of the car and sees Marty in the street, George runs off, and the father calls for his wife to come out because “another one of these damn kids jumped in front of my car”. This means it’s not the first time it’s happened, and not because it was George. Some other person or people had been up in that tree before then.
Later we see Lorraine is not the innocent girl Marty expected her to be — she smokes and drinks, and is quite forward about getting sexually involved with Marty. I think she may have also been an exhibitionist rather than innocently leaving her bedroom curtains open while changing clothes in the daytime.
When I think of “80s movies that can’t be made today” my mind often goes to the Poltergeist parents smoking dope in bed.
I don’t know, rhy, that might be the only thing they could show at this point.
Climax: The son convinces his father to stop himself getting frisky with his own mom, but instead interferes when, instead, *Biff* is starting to rape his future-wife.
That must’ve been a fun pitch meeting. And still,.. the film is the definition of a Perfect Movie. Nails everything. (Well. Biff missed out on young-hottie Lorraine. So did Marty, but I’m sure that’s for the best. If he DID get it on with her, and fuck with time altogether, uh. Probably be stuck in ’55. He woulda been the most profound cultural force of (literal) all time. He’d be swimming in poon and success. Well. He had his girlfriend in ’85. Darn it. )
It is a great movie. I saw it in Germany. Auf deutsch.
Oooh! In ’85? Uh. Subtitles in German or dubbed? The latter.. uh. Hardest translation project ever. Especially keeping the humor and feel. Impossible. (I know people have put great work into it by now. I bet it’s as damn-good as it *can* be.
III is more fun, but I’ve come around to II being the better in the, still legit, perfect trilogy. Damn dark. Far more than Empire.
Dubbed I suppose. Nobody knew it would become a classic.
I was visiting a friend up north, in Flensburg.
I never cared for III, to be honest. Prolly my inborn indifference to Westerns.
Mother’s Day dinner was fun. Dad did, however, again insist on doing a bit, astoundingly ill-timed and on the wrong occasion, but this time(!) with his wife. I again told him (once, this time) that today wasn’t the time. Of course, he kept at his bit. Which we’ve heard ten thousand times. It goes into his internal fear of not knowing tech, and not much outside of writing and US history, and feeling the need to put his believed (correctly) intellectual betters in their place by poking at any flaw he can find.
As I’ve talked to her about Dad’s ruinous interference in my bday dinner two weeks ago, never giving me a chance to hold the floor, with the goal of telling *my* little bit with the intention of imparting my ‘how-bros -be -different’ wisdom to the boys. Was a humorous and exciting story I didn’t get a chance to tell the first time the opportunity came up, cuz I’m used to wearing the muzzle.
Predictably, the bit goes to how Mom can fart a storm and remain the most sound-sleeper on earth. My SiL was there, too. I did hate *and* enjoy when Mom and I exchanged the Vance Glance at each other during his spiel. It doesn’t surprise me Colin doesn’t ever say anything, or even add to my attempts to simmer Dad down. He mostly puts up with Dad cuz both ‘rents provide exceptional, and frequent, caregiver support for my three nephews. (Correctly, Bro is always on Mom’s side. I’m also more Dad than he is. I serve as a bit of an in-between, it seems.)
You need to get out of your own subdivision, Friend. Who gives a fuck about what your goddamned parents or siblings think? Grow up. Become the man you once were, the one that circled the globe, not the whingy little try-baby that we’ve seen for the last while.
All this Firsting is getting my dick hard.
I’m sorry. It had to be said.
@ Festus: You are not at all incorrect. I’ve been a-while worried about how it all reads. Post-return to America I’ve been managing editor of the Peru Tribune, and later dove into phlebotomy. The adventure still occurs, but the spirals are much tighter as I look for stability Stateside. My current gig is at least steady and keeps me busy, but it’s just a holding pattern as vocational rehab folk see if they have any leads. In the meantime, saving and establishing (pretty much any) US presence are boxes that need to be checked. And (as I kinda expect) they won’t be magically helpful, I’m prepared to jump out on my own again in a few months after I get at least a few $ thousand in the bank.
So for now this adventurous bird has to remain a bit stoic about being shut in, but I’ve got to play the family game to make sure I get the chance to be (somewhat) part of my nephews’ lives. However, your point is well-taken and understood.
Time to kick off my 5-2 ‘Friday’ shift before my weekend. Onward and upward.
More than not incorrect. I’ve been *far* too stuck in my rut. Far too long. An active failing of mine, which I need to redirect.

Good morning, Sean, U, Ted’S., Roat, Stinky, and Bro!
Morning, GT, How goes?
Pretty well, thanks! My cough is getting somewhat better, and I’ve been able to keep it under control well enough to sleep at night! Now we’ll see how I do at work today. (One helpful factor: my boss is OFF, not just working remotely, so maybe he won’t insist on calling me instead of using email or internal messaging! đ) How are you?
I’m still coughing up phlegm, which is disgusting. Today is a remote day, so I can make noise without disturbing people.
I want a staycation, but can’t afford it. I’ll settle for being rid of this cough.
Coughing up phlegm, while indeed disgusting, is a good sign! At least you’re getting it out of your (respiratory) system!

I think it’s been pretty blindingly obvious for decades that Americans will support communist regimes, environmental disaster, slave labor and all the rest in order to save a buck. Especially when all that stuff is hidden away.
Kinky Friedman?
I had a look at some made in the US clothing out of SC and got a pretty bad case of sticker shock. Looked like perfectly good stuff but lord have mercy.
Indeed
How little do you epopel expect to pay for clothes that these prices are in any way shocking?
I am annoyed that sizes above small are sold out for the only styles that are of any use…
$100 t-shirts are a bit much.
Although I’m confused how a hoodie is only $135.
Thatâs it and come on UCS, $200 jeans? Iâm willing to pay a bit of a premium but damn.
Who wears such an uncomfortable garment? The T in t-shirt stands for Terrible.
I’ll note my made to measure dress shirts are made in New Jersey – but the fabric is all from overseas mills (the good stuff is still from Italy).
To at all cheap but a different value proposition than T-shirts.
Here’s the question – How long do you expect them to last?
By paying a premium for my clothing I have not had to contemplate replacing them in quite some time. Since these places can’t compete on price with no-shit slave labor camps, and consumers are not exactly ethical actors, qhat’s left to compete on?
I wear T-shirts.
Not uncomfortable at all.
I thought it was the P that rhymes with T that stands for “trouble”
And Ted has once again proven me correct.
Do they make gloves for wearing T-shirts?
