Fun time yesterday, Spud is in town and this time his girlfriend joined us (first time meeting us). I’m not going to say we overindulged, but yeah, we’re somewhat damaged. She seems to have survived meeting the Glibs Gulch crew and tonight we’re throwing both her and Prime into the octagon. We’re having a delightful time.
Birthdays can also be delightful, like that of a guy who should have died at the age of 76; a guy who truly was Chairman of the Board; Pie’s true creator; a guy I would have loved to do some lines with; a blotchier version of Brad Pitt; someone who became famous as Florida Woman; a white guy who did more for integration than anyone else; a guy who could just scream; a woman who shattered glass better than a Jewish groom; a Second Amendment grifter; a musician who put on the single worst live show I’ve ever attended; the most calm and relaxed guy you’ll ever encounter in a professional kitchen; and a woman whose acting work keeps her a busy bee.
Links will also make you a busy bee.

Boomer nostalgia time- so much concert footage from the short period where the Beatles played live shows is starting to emerge. This is from their first American tour, playing what became a pop classic. I’m always amazed at, despite deafening screaming, no foldbacks, and primitive amplification, how tight they were as a band. And once again, anyone who knows drumming has to be in awe of Ringo’s natural and casual perfection, despite (in this case) a very shaky stand. The Old Guy is a child again.

You were just randomly putting that book on the shelf, is that it? You’ve just given us a great idea.

The left had their Joe Rogan. He was Joe Rogan.
Strange how being a Bernie-bro wasn’t enough?
Being a Bernie-bro was a negative in
The Clinton FoundationDemocratic Party at that time.I don’t think it matters. Even if the left gets another Joe Rogan, they don’t have any politicians that can survive a three-hour conversation.
Yeah, but from the perspective of the actual left-wing of the Democratic Party, not grifter-central, there still seems to be something wrong with being a Bernie-bro. My guess is it is the “bro” part and having even the tiniest amount of independence.
The Left appears to believe the Borg were on to something good.
He bailed on the Dems during the Covid craziness when he went public about using ivermectin.
I think that is now referred to as the Graft Wing, versus the Grifter Central portion of the party.
They wont need to survive the conversation because it will be written out as a 3-hour script for them.

“A deranged Michigan woman was caught on camera allegedly hurling a large cup of piping hot coffee at a McDonald’s worker following a fiery outburst this week, according to police and disturbing footage.

Kisin’s recent video talked about how we generally don’t have any connection with anything before our grandparents time – exceptions being if you are a real history nerd. So the upsurge in much of the stupid we see now is because we (society at large) are losing connection with events prior to, and including, WWII. As an example, my dad was a WWII vet, but my son never knew him and of course neither will his son.
Every generation has to learn lessons by experience, but it is a sobering thought to picture the horror that will accompany relearning that one.

“For Natalia Molina, a lifelong fan of the Los Angeles Dodgers and a third-generation Mexican American, the crowning moment of baseball’s World Series didn’t come in last Saturday’s nail-biting finale, when her team performed one death-defying escape act after another before prevailing in extra innings over the Toronto Blue Jays.
It came a game earlier, when two of the team’s second-tier players, Kike Hernández, who is from Puerto Rico, and Miguel Rojas, from Venezuela, pulled off a thrilling, game-winning sequence that simultaneously upended the many negative stereotypes Donald Trump has been touting about Latinos since he first ran for president a decade ago….
“Kike and Miggy put forth this counter-narrative,” said Molina, a professor of American studies and ethnicity at the University of Southern California. “The world saw Latinos showing an infectious pride and joy in what they do, being leaders on the team, having a different kind of masculinity. They’re bombastic, they’re yelling, they’re taking off their shirts.”

The cartoon is an ongoing right-wing meme, which Musk himself has had a good, hearty chuckle about.

Muh holy temples of government
The U.S. General Services Administration is quietly considering selling the 1939 Wilbur J. Cohen Federal Building in Washington, D.C.
To most people, that might sound like an unremarkable bit of government housekeeping, but it is far more than that. The sale of this landmark would threaten one of the most important surviving monuments of the New Deal era and its extraordinary works of public art that still belong to every American.
The Cohen Building, originally built to house the Social Security Administration, stands as a testament to an era when the federal government recognized that democracy thrives not only on sound policy, but also on shared beauty and public purpose.
Not even if they use the money to feed the starving people?
Be careful what you vote for, folks, you might just get it.

Its limestone facade combines stripped classical, art moderne and Egyptian revival elements — a design by Charles Z. Klauder that is unique among federal buildings. Inside, murals by Ben Shahn, Philip Guston and Seymour Fogel line the walls.
Painted directly onto the plaster in fragile fresco, they capture the spirit of the 1930s: the dignity of work, the hope of reform and the belief that public art could lift up an entire nation.

Thomas Hart Benton’s a local. My dad loved his work. It’s very MANLY, very masculine.
My dad had a LOT of raw talent for art, but he was of the age when, if you were an artist, you were gay. And if you weren’t gay, but did art anyway, you were gay.
Hemingway and Benton bent that stereotype for him, but not enough.
Looking back, I could swear he was aching to draw and paint, but other than one once-a-week watercolor class for one semester and a few random doodles, he did nothing with it. He was too afraid.

The General Services Administration is legally required to consult with preservation authorities, local officials and the public — including interested organizations like The Living New Deal, which two of us represent.
There are far better alternatives than selling off a cultural treasure. A recent feasibility study outlined potential modernization for the Cohen Building, revitalizing the building as a state of the art, energy efficient federal workforce hub.
Alternately, other ideas that have been discussed include use as expanded legislative offices, or even as a new Smithsonian gallery. Each of these options would honor the building’s purpose and preserve its extraordinary artwork for future generations.
Or they could just sell it to some deserving NGO do-gooders for a dollar.

A federal judge ruled on Friday that Donald Trump “exceeded the President’s authority” when he sent federalized National Guard troops into Portland.
In a 106-decision, Trump-appointed U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut made permanent an order she issued last month blocking the deployment into the city.
“The evidence demonstrates that these deployments, which were objected to by Oregon’s governor and not requested by the federal officials in charge of protection of the ICE building, exceeded the president’s authority,” the judge wrote.
Much as I would prefer it to be so, I don’t really think the President is only allowed to act with the permission of local authorities.

President Trump rattled off a list of GOP policies that would benefit from eliminating the filibuster on Friday, including the assertion that Republicans would never lose another election if the Senate procedure were abolished.
This sounds like a ploy to retain the filibuster in perpetuity.

The federal FACE Act makes it unlawful for any person to use “force, the threat of force, or physical obstruction to intentionally injure or intimidate a person because he or she is lawfully exercising the right of religious freedom at a place of worship” or “obtaining or providing reproductive health services,” whether abortion or anti-abortion counseling.”

Within days of her arrival at a Texas prison camp in early August, Ghislaine Maxwell gushed in emails to her friends and family over the cleanliness and safety of her new surroundings.
“The institution is run in an orderly fashion which makes for a safer more comfortable environment for all people concerned, inmates and guards alike,” wrote Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for recruiting minors to be sexually abused by her longtime confidant, the wealthy financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Maxwell’s unexpected move to the all-women’s Federal Prison Camp Bryan, which houses inmates convicted of nonviolent offenses and white-collar crimes in dormitory-style quarters, drew immediate condemnation from current and former federal Bureau of Prisons employees. They said it was very unusual for prisoners with sex offenses on their records to be incarcerated in such an unconstrained setting, indicating Maxwell was receiving preferential treatment.
Needs more bull dyke prison warden sex torture.
Maybe I’m crazy, but I can’t help wondering why NBC news isn’t mobilizing an in depth investigation of the inhumane conditions in that Florida prison, instead of simpering about Maxwell being transferred out.
