The end of summer in Glibs Gulch (boasting the highest per-capita population of Glibertarians in the US) is marked by the sudden reappearance of thousands of students, parking snafus, frat parties, and the fabulously entitled faculty. This year, it was also marked by the first murder in over a decade and the opening of a rival café about a block away in a space previously occupied by a vegan Korean restaurant owned by someone who became a nemesis of WebDom. That venture was gone within a year, replaced by a “Mexican” venue which lasted perhaps ten months. And now the location has a new café, freshly opened two weeks ago, supposedly selling sushi and ramen. They began life by immediately alienating the entire arts community here by using AI to create all their images and social media marketing material. So in response, they decided to run a contest, which is the equivalent of Jaguar hiring Dylan Mulvaney to fix last year’s fuckup.
(Narrator: in a town this size, 100 orders a day is grossly unrealistic)
And then yesterday this popped up (pardon the unreadable typography and AI-generated image, but that’s apparently part of their brand):
Ladies and gentlemen, a new record, opened and closed within two weeks.
Speaking of openings, birthdays today include a guy who led an enchanted life; an exemplar of historical fiction; a guy who presaged the current Team Blue view of genetics; a comedy writer who farted out a massive hit song; the best rock guitarist you’ve never heard of; the guy who ruined wrestling; the guy who ruined science fiction; a guy who baked the Pie; a guy who was always the weakest part of his films; an iron man who was actually tougher than tungsten; a woman who constantly missed verbal cues; a guy who is alternately hilarious and what the fuck; and chick who was annoying but quite hot and aged quite horribly.
The Links will likewise age horribly, so better get to them quickly.
Following the fine tradition of Duane Allman.
Pritzker is a corrupt moron, but even corrupt morons are right now and then. Chicago is not DC.

“Negative profit”
Gone in 6 months.
“Mom, you should open a restaurant. Everyone loves your cooking”
So, Mom opens a restaurant. Seems that when people are spending money they want a different experience than home cooking.
It’s called a restaurant business, for a reason.
Fastest failing business ever. Too much negative profit.
Anyone thinking of opening a restaurant should read Kitchen Confidential by the late, great asshole Anthony Bourdain. He has a whole chapter devoted to stupid things non-restaurant people do when they open a restaurant.
Friends: “[Neph], why don’t you/when are you going to open a brewery?”
Me: “I prefer working a job where I get paid enough I can brew as a hobby.”
‘Work’ is what you do to afford fun.
Friends: “[Neph], why don’t you/when are you going to open a brewery?”
Me: “I prefer working a job where I get paid enough I can brew as a hobby.”
A bunch of Cisco guys who homebrewed in their spare time opened a brewery near me before the Rona Panic. They survived the Panic and are not only still going but have expanded.
I chatted with one of the owners. He still works during the day for Cisco because his RSU package is too good to pass up.
Back in the day when I homebrewed, I considered opening a brewery. I did a little research into the booze taxes and decided, nope, I have no time for this.
DEG:
Locally, the current craft contraction is starting, with a couple of the more marginal breweries (either due to quality, sales, or financing) have started closing down. It’s interesting to me that there are breweries in massive amounts of debt leveraging more debt to acquire other failed (or failing) breweries. I’m not sure how that’s going to work out long term for them.
Some of the more recently opened breweries (the oldest of which opened 2/28/2020) have partnered up for several brewery crawls and seem to be doing well.
Locally, the current craft contraction is starting
Here, things are level. We’ve had some failures, but we’ve had some others pop up. Some of the new ones are doing very well. We’ll see how things shake out over the next year or so.
I like my profit margin in the 50-100% range.
Not 2-3% at best.
Sounds like it was two weeks.
The “arts community” can open its own goddamn business. Entitled shits.
Perhaps if your artistry is of the sort of quality that it’s threatened by machine learning you should consider a refund on your art school tuition.
Pat, you may be shocked to learn that the art world is populated 99.9% of people who have zero talent, zero insight and are heavily armed with rose colored glasses and a narcissistic personality disorder.
Hold on there, just a minute. I’m not in the art world.
“President Donald Trump’s plan to deploy troops to Chicago is an abuse of power, the Democratic governor of the US state of Illinois has said.”

I wish this were true. A stunningly large slice of Americans are simpletons: in love and need of the big man, the aristocrat; they certainly have never read any history or their own constitution.
Trump is not my biggest problem: my mob of idiotic, unAmerican neighbors is.
^^^ THIS
The guardsmen can supply their own optics.
Did anyone notice that in the article there was no quote from Trump, no notice of troop movements, in fact, nothing that shows that this is a real and strong possibility? Trump made a joke a week(?) or so ago about it, if I remember right, but that isn’t even mentioned in the article.
I think OMWC fell for the same hype (drink) as the BBC and Prick-zer.
I suspect the same. This is doing exactly what it was designed to – getting the Dems to hypocritically defend the insane levels of crime in their cities.
When ten minutes ago they were bemoaning all the gUn cRiMeS.
Wow. That is stunning. You know what would make me park and go in to order food? A sign/logo that is white with large letters, color doesnt matter, that says ‘eats’. I want bacon, scrambled eggs, hash browns, maybe ham, a small simple salad and a gallon of coffee.
I cant eat gimmicks. I dont give a shit about food weirdness.
That they lasted two weeks is amazing.
I forgot…add an English muffin toasted with butter and blackberry jelly.
What’s that? You say I am killing the planet and meat is murder? I am making the children sad?
Ok. Can you bring the coffee now?
How about a sandwich with a toasted and buttered bagel with a fried egg and a sausage patty or bacon? Too weird?
Is that gluten free?
Didn’t Dunkin Donuts sell those?
Make that scrambled eggs, and maybe add cheese, and I’ve had several of those.
I could go for that.
Dunkin’ was a go-to in Korea for breakfast. English muffin egg, bacon, cheese. ~$3
A lovely oasis in the non-existent realm of Korean ‘breakfast.’
Didn’t Dunkin Donuts sell those?
No idea, I haven’t been in one this century. But if they do, I 100% guarantee ours is massively higher quality.
Only if the chickens are free-range and the staff is paid a living wage.
OMWC, you found a bagel place that makes a “real” bagel?
It’s one of the few things I’m going to miss when I get the fuck out of NJ. Good ones are very hard to be found in other parts of the U.S.
you found a bagel place that makes a “real” bagel?
Yes, in Rochester. I run up there weekly to load up the back of my SUV. They do NY-style and Montreal-style, the latter being a bit breadier and sweeter than the former. I prefer NY, but our customers prefer Montreal. So that’s what we serve. Style preference aside, quality is outstanding. The guy I get them from does a multi-day fermentation of the dough before boiling and baking, and that gives a far better taste and texture than the usual industrial bagels.
OMWC, Google says about 1.25 hours one way.
Your town doesn’t deserve you!
Rochester was already a weekly run for supplies. The bagel dude just added another stop. The New York bagels are excellent, but the softer Montreal style is better for sandwiches.

Your best comment ever.
“Under the Federal Records Act, government agencies are required to preserve all documentation that officials and federal workers produce while executing their duties, and they have to make federal records available to the public under the Freedom of Information Act unless they fall under certain exemptions.”
They don’t have to record phone calls and talking in person, so I’m not sure how text messages are documentation. It’s just chat. Emails are letters so that’s different.
There’s also that “like with a cloth?” exception to records retention law.
It’s a written communication that can be preserved simply by not deleting it. I don’t see a principled distinction from a letter or email.
This. If you don’t want it to be discoverable, talk on the phone or zoom or in person.
Zoom sessions can be recorded, a function for which I am truly thankful, as it keeps me from having to attend in real time certain meetings for which I have to write up the minutes.
IIRC, marking shit UNCLASS/FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY rendered it immune to FOIA.

Speaking of breakfast we are out of bacon. I am going on a bacon run and then making a couple of BLT’s with way too much bacon on them.
Back later…..
No such thing as way too much bacon.
That’s the joke Pat.
Wife once made some cherry cheesecake topped with cherry sauce with whole cherries. She calls me in the kitchen to taste test. Yum.
“Ok, good. I was afraid I had put too many cherries on top.” “wut?”
Next time I made her a BLT I handed her the sandwich then said “Wait. Let me have that back. I think I screwed up your sandwich.”
“What, how can you screw up a BLT?”
“I think I put too much bacon.”
*She glared at me and hugged the sandwich to her chest*
“Get away from my sandwich!”
You make your wife sandwiches? I has a confuse.
It’s good to see NYT keeping consistent with their animism vis-a-vis SUVs.
I don’t hate that. It describes the cause of the accident. It could have been something else.
In the sentence I quoted it does explain it was driven and who was driving it.
It’s not as bad as the self discharging firearms usually described by MSM.
It also prevents prejudging. If you don’t know all of the facts explicitly, then this is how you write it up.
Was it peach colored? Sadly, one of the most common accidents. I really want to know if the turn signal was activated…

Canada is still burning witches
Well, that would explain all the smoke.
Nice.
But I am the nazi.
It was probably back in 1990 when my uncle warned me, “Canada may come across as some kind of friendly arctic Nebraska, but don’t be fooled. They don’t have anything like individual rights up there. They ban guns and they ban books.”
Back in my trips up to Canada, one thing that stood out to me was their lack of national identity/culture as anything other than “Not-America” (outside of Timbits, hockey, and bagged milk). This meant that if they thought you were Canadian, they would complain about the health system, the media, and the government. But if they thought you were American, all of those institutions were perfect, and superio(u)r to any American option.
Neph, my wife and I noticed on our trip to eastern BC last year that the Canadian women have a look. Similar to when you get into Utah and can pick out the old Mormon line women. The Canadian women, flat chests, big ass, similar facial structure.
That’s common culture right? Not sure if it extends further east in Americas hat.

Who knew Tallageda Nights out-takes would become reality?
Somebody should beat the retarded cunt to death with a shovel just to highlight the irony.
He’s right about eliminating crime by eliminating laws against behaviors… The new New York economy is gonna be lit! The velocity of dollars in the mugging sector is amazing. The one tourist dumb enough to come to the city can start a chain of infinite muggings and her dollars will likely have changed hands a dozen times even before the gang rape sector finishes up with her.
That’s why normal places have such shitty economies. The mugger gets shot and all of that economic activity never happens.

I’m reminded of a mural on Brookpark road here, on the side of an auto repair shop. Lots of words on it, basically saying “Welcome to Cleveland, we have open carry, attempting to remove catalytic converters could be your last decision”.

Newborn seized over parenting competence test
Just pick a bureaucrat at random, behead them and move to the next one you see. Worrying about following the most efficient path will take longer than the time it will save.
But I like UCS…
It’s like the illegal alien problem, really. It’s gotten too large for nuanced consideration of each case. If you want to solve the bureaucrat problem, you need to just get rid of them with, err, maximum efficiency.
The idea of testing at all AND the applicability of the other two tests to parenting skills are bad enough, but this test sounds like utter bullshit in any context for any purpose.
This literally sounds like they are testing for “crazy eyes”.
The Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test consists of 36 photographs, each giving you four choices.
I assume Fuck Off Slaver is not an acceptable response.
Well, at least they’re using objective, scientific criteria for such an important decision. I worry, however, that the evaluation is not comprehensive enough, as it fails to take into account the balance of their humors and craniometry.
The final decision is made by a board of top phrenologists.

I hate to be a conspiracy theorist, but it’s hard to imagine what purpose such blatantly retarded headlines could possibly serve other than the Dalrympian purpose of political correctness:
The kid has 2 parents, and it’s not uncommon for a kid to look more like one than the other. It’s not as if it would be impolite to just simply not mention anything about the kid’s resemblance to its mother.
Also, it’s gotta be a proud moment for a Kardashian the first time you whore out your kid to maintain your low brow fame.
I learned it from you mom!
If there’s another issue—if you’ve fallen out of love or are having an affair or can’t stand his snoring anymore—and you want to split, just say that. Or make up something that actually justifies feeling “accused, disrespected and smeared.” The use of the word “Plantation” is not it.
I don’t know how I read the whole thing. I hate everyone involved.

“Anyone writing critically these days about democracy is likely to be perceived as attacking motherhood or profaning the Holy Spirit. Yet any thinking person can see there is something wrong when the supposed will of the people results in malicious investigations of political opponents, censorship of national institutions like the Smithsonian, and the suppression of academic freedom. Through approval or indifference, these actions may be acceptable according to majority rule, but that does not make them legitimate.”

Some political experts have raised concerns that the president and his allies are blatantly using the legal system to intimidate political opponents. “The fact that the law is being selectively applied underlines that this is part of a pattern of lawfare,” Don Moynihan, a professor of public policy at the University of Michigan, told the Guardian via email.

About two months ago my wife was looking out of the kitchen window and said “Awwwwwww! That little squirrel is so cute! He looks skinny and hungry. Poor thing!”
*SIGH. Hung my head in resignation*
“Ok.”
She now polices me to make sure I put food out 2x per day. Yes, looking out of my window is like watching the Disney channel. Rabbits, squirrels, every species of bird you can think of….dozens of them.
Now I am concerned. There is another very cute little squirrel. I am fairly certain the little bugger was born after I started putting food out. I think he learned to eat by mom showing him “The is where the nice man puts food out for us”. Everyone comes, mills around and eats then goes off for a nap. What I can count on is looking out there and every time, without fail, that little guy is there grazing on the Critter Crunch mix.
Now I cant stop feeding them.
*SIGH*
I’d mock you but I need to go change the water in the bowl on my deck because the squirrels got sunflower shells in it.
Frame up the squirrels for chewing the electrical or somesuch and use it as justification to plink them out.
This
I’ve got the opposite problem. The wife wants me to kill the squirrels. They’re a little mischievous for her tastes.
I sympathize. Milady wife thought feeding a rackety coon who showed up one morning and begged breakfast was cute.
We now have a horde of the critters. It’s like feeding a mob of furry chickens.
Happy birthday Kim Stanley Robinson?
We cannot allow our version of history to be disputed
Family members of a prominent victim of Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse said they were “outraged” by the Justice Department’s decision to release transcripts from Ghislaine Maxwell’s testimony last month to a federal prosecutor, arguing it provided Maxwell a “platform to rewrite history.”
“The content of these transcripts is in direct contradiction with felon Ghislaine Maxwell’s conviction for child sex trafficking,” the family of Virginia Roberts Giuffre said in a statement. The family added, “This travesty of justice entirely invalidates the experiences of the many brave survivors who put their safety, security, and lives on the line to ensure her conviction, including our sister.”
More people making a career out of mourning a “lost” child. Why were those young women so desperate for approval and affection?
Ghislaine Maxwell’s conviction for child sex trafficking
They might as well have thrown in Satanic ritualist abuse.
““This travesty of justice entirely invalidates the experiences of the many brave survivors who put their safety, security, and lives on the line to ensure her conviction, including our sister.”
I was skeptical of Maxwell’s testimony until I read that.
“In New York City, nonprofits received $20 billion in public money in 2021.”
This needs to stop.
“The city is home to more than 600,000 jobs in the nonprofit sector and a roughly equal number of jobs in government. Nonprofits now employ nearly 17 percent of the city’s total private-sector workforce, compared to 10 percent nationally.”
Even the national figure of 10% is insane. The amount of dead weight loss is staggering. As much as we bitch about the concept of UBI, that’s pretty much what that amounts to.
UBI for college educated and politically connected. Yeah, that’s who really deserves my tax money.
getting paid by a non-profit with taxpayer dollars is not being in the private sector.
I’ve not only heard of John Cipollina but teen-aged Hobbit wore out the grooves on Quicksilver’s Happy Days.
Gold and Silver was one of the great San Francisco sound tunes ever. Really shows off the slick guitar skills.
Giuffre’s family also condemned the Justice Department’s decision to transfer Maxwell to a minimum-security prison following her meeting with Blanche.
“By moving convicted felon Maxwell to a minimum-security, country club prison, the DOJ sends a disturbing message that child sex trafficking is acceptable and will be rewarded,” the family said Saturday in a statement.
I wonder how much they charge for interviews with the press.
“The Chicago White Sox are still taking advantage of Pope Leo XIV being a massive fan of their franchise, and they’re doing it in style.
Back when he was just a (sort of) regular supporter of the team, the pope was in attendance for a 2005 World Series game that took place at Rate Field, the home of the White Sox. 20 years later, and the organization has now slapped a marker on the seat that he was sitting in. After he became pope, pictures of Leo XIV at Game 1 went viral.
