The end of summer is fast approaching, on the plus side, that means football. On the negative side, it’s going to be a rough season for the Browns. This weekend is the end of festival season locally, as people shift to clambakes and tailgates. Tonight, I’ll be off to see a band I’m a fan of, so you get some of their music today. Moving on to the links…
I’ve been waiting for the wheels to come flying off this for a while now.
This seems a reasonable response to me. [Archive link here]
There’s no such thing as a laser-resistant weed.
Can we activate the National Guard? Just for an afternoon.
No. No I am not. You’re all wrong.
Here’s a bit of a lengthier (and heavier) piece than my usual Friday afternoon fare,
Fear them! FEAR THEM!
This is a growing industry at present, but trends change quickly.
I fail to see the issue here either provide services, cut back on elected positions, or convince your residents to keep your worthless asses around.

Now, one would assume I would give the proper recipe to the wrong drink up above, but that’s simple, and instead I’m going a different route for the long weekend.
Timberpoint Cooler
- 8 parts (2 oz) gin
- 4 parts (1 oz) Aperol
- 3 parts (0.75 oz) lime juice
- 2 parts (0.5 oz) simple syrup
- Club soda
Start by filling your shaker with ice, add in everything except for the club soda, and shake to combine and chill. After that, strain into a collins glass (filled with fresh ice), top with club soda, and give a brief stir to combine. The traditional garnish for this is a slice of cucumber.
With that, go forth and enjoy your weekend.
Zicke Zacke, Zicke Zacke!
Scam Citizen…yet still people throwing millions of dollars at it in its *checks notes* 14th year on Kickstarter. Nearly 1 billion dollars….praise to that scam…JFC.
Nice work if you can get it, I suppose.
Sure looks like they’re skirting the line of copying the Mass Effect Alliance uniforms in the art, though… moved the rank stripes down the arm from the shoulder — but otherwise, I thought when I opened the page and glanced at the art it was a spinoff.
They were selling “limited inventory” of digital assets for thousands…

The same elderly that sat by while being told they can’t see their grandchildren or visit a friend dying? Get fucked.
Oh, they probably were cheerleading for it publicly while privately continuing their pot/swinger parties.
Well, whatever boner I hoped to achieve over the weekend just went away.
I’m surprised lefties with a stick up their ass have even a modest sense of humor about the obvious fact that Miller was right.
The same elderly who were in charge until recently and are responsible for our current state.

“I think we have, in fact, put in place this past year a requirement from the TBI to provide transparency of those cases,” Lee said. “I think that’s the first step, transparency.”
I’m going to go out on a limb and say the second step is, “Do nothing.”
While I hate the false arrest, the thought of the ex US attorney being handcuffed to the wall made me chuckle.
This was good as well.
No. No I am not. You’re all wrong.
Brother Nephilium speaks truth.
There is actually no such thing as a Vodka Martini, but it is understood as gin-phobe speak for a Gibson which is a cocktail made with dry (white) vermouth and vodka, traditionally garnished with a cocktail onion.
*clears throat*
A Gibson can be made with gin, the identifying characteristic is the cocktail onion instead of a twist or olive. I don’t make the rules, I just know them.
Ok fine, I’ll admit it. During my college years I couldn’t stand gin so I usually ordered a “Vodka Martini” which in hindsight was probably just a plastic cup full of vodka.
:: sobs, runs from room ::
It’s OK The Other Kevin, you can blame being young and ignorant.
Wait… did you order it shaken, not stirred?
Young and ignorant for sure. On my golden birthday, I had 7. The next day was Thanksgiving, and I was sick as hell. Mom TOK was not happy.
The only thing shaken at those bars were the women on the dance floor. I was of course stirred by it.
Odds are the vermouth in the well was basically vinegar water with fruit fly corpses, so you didn’t miss much
(((Jarflax:
That’s if they bothered to put vermouth into it at all.
What’s wrong with drinking vodka neat?
Ted S.:
Nothing, but it’s definitely not my tastes. It also wouldn’t be neat, as it would be chilled at a minimum.
I’m sorry you have shitty taste, Neph. :-p

To each their own. But I do remember when a group of us did a bartending class (we were a group that routinely through room parties at hotels), and the instructor was going through various modifiers on cocktails. We worked on building the longest (and likely vile) cocktail name we could (from memory it was A Long Comfortable Screw Up Against the Wall in the Dark Mexican Style). When he was going through Martinis, the statement was “There’s a name for people who order extra dry vodka Martinis, that name is alcoholics.”
Be like our Russian friends and put pepper in the vodka.

One accident and the company is literally toast.
Dems are behaving like the know-it-all, snotty teenagers all of you but not me used to be.
Oh… but how else will you have quaint opera houses for 130 citizens? :eyeroll:

Apparently her quality of life depends on taking her neighbor’s money at the point of a gun… forming a charity and paying for the civic improvements she deems essential via donations or fees doesn’t seem to be a possibility in her world. Just “I want this — so you must all pay for it! Fair share! Fair Share! Ark! Ark!”
So tedious.
We have mini-libraries around town where people can take or leave books. That works just fine without any taxpayer money.
Yep, the little lending libraries are a not uncommon fixture in the urban/suburban areas.
We have tons of them and contribute often, a great minarchal ,sp? solution
Let the hate flow through you.
I’m not going to listen to a madman!
This scales as pretty minor compared to the tens of thousands of Philly residents demanding the yokels and billies pay for their public transit rides. They’ll pay lots for some sugary coffee water but don’t expect them to drop another $1 in the farebox.
It’s almost impossible to eliminate a library levy where I’m from. It has to come from the library board itself and said board can be set right back up by any number of Karens
There’s nothing wrong with the Democrat party that can’t be fixed with the right messaging.

The Democratic Party is hereby disbanded. All members have three options, 1. Join the Awakened Party, 2. admit they are Nazis and become Republicans or independents, or 3. Move to Gaza.
Number 4, line up at the wall to your left, bow pose, a little left, just right.
FIRE!!!
I’m sure many industries want people to be forced to buy their product, worth it or not.
And the BBC cackles to itself… look at the high quality public service they do….
It is profoundly misguided to cast health care based on low-certainty evidence as bad care or as care driven by ideology, and low-certainty evidence as bad science.
Low certainty? I suppose “The evidence has uniformly, and with high certainty, indicated that the proposed treatments have no positive effects, and have numerous catastrophic negative effects,” could be phrased as there being a low certainty that the treatments are effective. Both zero and negative numbers are commonly considered ‘low.’ The formulation makes me think that there is a low certainty that the authors are human beings, decent, or worthy of being spared the eventual sentencing of all involved to the boats.
Yup. The frauds pushing that “care” (it is not “care”, assholes) ought to be ashamed of themselves.
“health care based on low-certainty evidence as bad care”
Well, it may or may not be bad. Nobody knows. By the same token, nobody knows if its good care, either.
“or as care driven by ideology”
When there is an ideological movement pushing health care based on low-certainty evidence, I think you can say it’s care driven by ideology. It’s certainly not driven by science.
“low-certainty evidence as bad science”
Evidence isn’t bad science. Now, pushing conclusions as “scientific” when they have nothing behind them but low-certainty evidence, that’s bad science.
I count three stolen bases in one sentence. Impressive work.
Fuck you lady, buy your own damn books.
Or go to one of the numerous Little Free Library kiosks popping up wherever virtue is signaled. Many more options than mooching off the taxpayers.
I’ve said in the past that of all the terrible things done by government, providing public parks and libraries is very, very low on my list of terrible things that need to be ended.
I hate government libraries.
I like to take long driving vacations out west. In a number of places including some VERY rural, as in houses are not visible from each other across the range, no virtue signalling permitted except the US Flag, I have seen those, admittedly with less hippified decoration.
The one in our neighborhood is filled with non-virtue signalling books. We are a cesspool of old school americana here
Us out here as well, a lot of great books, I guess the trash went to beach bofire kindling
Those never have books about minotaur milking.

Big ag tractors are not cheap. But 24 Blackwell-class GPUs, I’m just spitballing here, are probably around a quarter mil. And what is providing the power for 24 GPUs and the frickin’ laser? They hang a generator off the PTO? How much diesel does that burn?
They’re working off a prototype vehicle from the 1980s.

That pic, right there. Her sternly-frumped face is glorious. She’s just so damn childishly scrunched up.
(Q: I await your brain-bleach later.)
“Elderly White Hippies”
Fuck. Worst porno ever. *However,* would watch a Trailer Park Boys-style show with the elderly in hospice. Much potential.
What? She is getting paid. She is old and needs the money. She even has the all-purpose protest sign and everything.
Trying to decide on kayaking, which includes a brewery stop or Renaissance fair
I do love kayaking. I went to a Ren Fair one time, had to rent an electric scooter because the ground was rough. Fun but not my favorite.
Build a longship and row up as a Viking raid and you can do both.
We now….Jarflax knows where I am looking to kayak at
The answer is yes, you will love it.
Done both in my life…just thinking of which is better for this near perfect weather we are having.
Im not the VP, so no raising the water level for kayaking, though, its at 4.5 gage height so should be okay.
Work mate does medieval armed combat and will be doing the renfair shows…
Ren fair here apparently is a 2 month event? Good lord you geeks

lol I just fell on my face outside and gave myself a Loony Tunes-style knob on my forehead. Happy three-day weekend to me. 🫤
Ouch! Feel better.
No! This cannot be how your weekend starts.
Don’t go outside. It’s dangerous.
I was trying to avoid a window washer and slipped in a puddle of water that had formed in the grass where a tree is planted. I could probably sue the F out of somebody but meh, whatever.
Sorry dude.
Would you like a jelly baby?
The last time my nose was broken (#3) BabyMama and I had been to the opening for Buckeye Vodka (distilled in Dayton). Its not quite to my tastes, but free. And I was definitely over-served. This was in late winter with snow on the ground. She dropped me off, I walked into the kitchen, and between my state at the time, wet boots, tile floor, and gravity….I fell forward and directly face-planted into the hard surface beneath my feet.
Lord did I bleed all over but didnt really feel anything until I woke up the next morning.
I ate at the Thai food truck today, but they were out of duck. They did have “white duck” which I understood to be their joke name for chicken. Little tidbits like that make my day.
Long pork implies the existence of short pork.
The existence of the triscuit and the biscuit implies that there exists something called the monoscuit.
