With our wine license in hand and a deep stock of delicious bottles behind the bar, we’re ready for old ladies getting sloshed and starting bar fights. My list has stereotypical female pleasers like Prosecco and pink Champagne. Prime remains a steadfast dry red wine drinker, but she’s the furthest thing from being stereotypical. I mean, look at her choice of boyfriend.
Birthdays today include the true BLM guy; the guy who invented Wendy’s; the guy who invented the plate job; the original Indiana Jones; one of my very favorite kids’ book writers; a woman who couldn’t release a record because the center hole kept healing up; one of my homeboys from when liberals were actually against wars; my academic grandfather; a piece of shit who was… a piece of shit; and one of my top three fantasies as a kid who surprisingly was no dummy.
Links will dummy us up, though.
At some point, you run out of slogans.
Assuming the US Supreme Court doesn’t take this on, expect the big screaming to be about packing the court. He who controls the spice district lines controls the universe elections.
With so much attention paid to Team useless and trivial mind games, we mustn’t forget the important areas of policy where the Teams agree. And that is wiping their asses with the Bill of Rights.
The Left’s embrace of Jew-hate enshittifies everything.
I’m generally anti-capital punishment (not trusting the State to get it right), but cases like this…
Our new version of debtors’ prison. Having personally dealt with the State on these issues, I also don’t trust them to get this right, either.
There are musical musical performers who have clever and interesting patter. Sierra Ferrell is not one of them. So ignore the stupid vapid intro because what follows is some stellar singing. The Old Guy is not normally amused by goofy outfits, but this one is the exception.

And we’re ready for the viral videos.
Polymarket
Put me down for $10 on YES prior to Memorial Day
$20 on Mothers’ Day.
Same as downtown?
(Is there a downtown in Alfred?)
It all started one day…

I mean, look at her choice of boyfriend.
Really need to hear her say that, preferably in Frau Blucher’s voice.
She probably thought you were (((the guy))) from yesterday’s thread.
Neigh.
Napa link is duplicate of the preceding.
Yeah, two neurodivergent queers is one neurodivergent queer too many.
One neurodivergent queer is one neurodivergent queer too many.
Fixed, gracias!
“Less bad”, not “less worse”.
The Original Indiana Jones
Happy birthday, Roy Chapman Andrews!
the guy who invented the plate job
Happy birthday Alfred Wegener!
Pretty sure its fake but still funny.
Well, the link is fake…
Blargon.

I’d love to see the grounds of their appeal to SCotUS – never mind our state constitution, we demand unlimited and eternal power, NOW!
a woman who couldn’t release a record because the center hole kept healing up
Happy birthday Wendy Carlos!
one of my very favorite kids’ book writers
Happy birthday H.P. Lovecraft!
Virginia’s AG is now fantasizing about elevating himself above the SCoVA.
This isn’t new. State Depatment revoked/suspended my passport when I owed more than 10k in arrears during my troubles.
Southern Mamdani.
Not enough free stuff for that comparison.
BTW, OMWC, I don’t know if you saw my posting this in the Stoic thread yesterday afternoon.
It’s (((that guy))) from yesterday’s thread!
So you clicked on my link, but apparently didn’t read my comment saying I posted it yesterday. :-p
Here I thought my ability to turn my tongue upside down in both directions to be special.
But can you do the “U” thing with it?
(Asking for a friend, of course…)
Yep, but the real talent is my niece who can do that clam shell thing with it. Stupid human tricks are fun
This, however, was not the full extent of controversy in Venter’s career. He would probably not have denied himself that he was driven by ambition and ego, and he could be rude, aggressive and opinionated.
Yeah, you never see that in the public sector or academia.
All the same, he seems now like an entrepreneur from a happier time, when billionaire tech leaders were keen to work alongside scientists to create productive knowledge
Like what Elon is doing for rocketry, right?
No. Elon manufactures hate.
“We’re stopping on the runway,” a pilot told the air traffic control tower, according to a recording posted by the ATC.com app. “We just hit somebody. We have an engine fire.” Later, a pilot told the tower that “an individual was walking across the runway.”
Or more accurately ingested somebody. WOW.

Will be insteresting to see who it was.
In either case I look forward to the massive amount of training I will have to redo because of this.
At least 4 times a year somebody feels compelled to step in front a train and delay me for hours.
I don’t understand the desire to off yourself and fuck over 1,000s of people.
“Pay attention to MEEEEeeeee”.
You would think it would be difficult not to see a plane on the runway, closing in on you.
It’s kind of like one of the first things we teach our kids when crossing a street.
You’ve got to be fucking kidding me.

I’d be really pissed.
We are taught young that when citizens mess up, it is your fault. When government messes up it is also, your fault.
The IRS has that weaponized. They don’t have to give you correct answers to questions, but you’re responsible if you make a mistake.
Hardaway said PennDOT told her the issue involved a driving examiner and possible fraud.
Trying so hard to not tell us anything about those involved.
Learing Center graduate
Most likely graduating learing center candidates that should probably be sent back for more training.
The agency declined our request for an on-camera interview.
Of course.
In case you find yourself in need of an emetic.
Translation: At no point will we have successfully overcome the evil inherent in western civilization. Your children, and your children’s children on unto the end of time shall be punished for the iniquity of out performing the cannibals and savages.
I had been hopeful that I would not live to see the hell of a new Civil War, but I think it is pretty much here already and going to move from low intensity to open fighting any day now. This summer is going to be bad.
I’ve always wanted one of these to pull the motor and put in a real small block Ford.

Intercept with the best Orwellian headline.
Well they know their readership is stupid so their headlines reflect it.
REM keeps playing in my head.
Caught a clip that the most likely successor to white Dem Steve Cohen in TN is a black woman Republican. So much fail!
Not a real black person, nor a real woman, at least not running as a Republican.
Identity is what WE say it is!
Jesus Fucking Christ, that’s bad.
An act of political hygiene
Northern states run by Democrats can draw utterly predatory district maps, gerrymandered to the hilt as a means of oppressing their Republican voters, but Southern states run by Republicans haven’t been free to do likewise — because of the ancient sins of… Democrats. The effect being that Democrats have been able to insist on representation in states where the majority of the population is utterly offended by them.
Heads we win, tails you lose!
On point says this gerrymandered NJ resident.
CA says fuck you with a cherry on top.

Not only electric, but heat pump too. The least reliable water heater made.
Did we ever hear about Smokey the tard?
“queer, neurodivergent writer, advocate, and mindfulness meditation teacher”
Queer = I’m heterosexual but that’s boring so I wanna be part of the special team
Neurodivergent = I don’t have autism, I’m just annoying as fuck and want a get-out-of-jail-free card for acting like a POS
You can just say progressive.
I thought queer was a female hetero with a butch haircut and a cuck husband?
“A maniac repeat offender released from a psych ward after just an hour allegedly shoved an elderly man to his death down Manhattan subway steps in an unprovoked attack Thursday night — with an outraged poilce source blasting the killing as a “complete collapse” of City Hall’s approach to mental health.
Rhamell Burke — a 32-year-old serial troublemaker who has been arrested four times since February — mysteriously walked free from Bellevue Hospital about an hour after cops cuffed him and checked him in as an “emotionally disturbed person” around 3:30 p.m. Thursday, according to police.
The violent brute was released around 4:40 p.m. — and launched his fatal attack on 76-year-old stranger Ross Falzone, who worked as a teacher, at a Chelsea subway station about five hours later, while still sporting his hospital bracelet.”

This needs to stop. I don’t care how “racist” it is.
It will stop, one way or another. I for one am not looking forward to an increase in vigilantism.
How bad is it when Arkham Asylum has a better track record of holding dangerous psychopaths than most progressive cities.
” I for one am not looking forward to an increase in vigilantism.”
I’m not expecting one from unarmed citizens.

The one with the Donkey Kong dress could be a future ex-Mrs. Q just based on her wardrobe choice.
Not a bad choice.
Howdy, howdy. Time to go into the Pickup Dept. Last week, they were kinda too busy and I got sent to “Returns,” which was the best day of paid labor in my life. (I wonder if that’ll return?) Trying to get back into grocery picking, but I’m not worried, regardless.
Should be an interesting one. Upward and atom, folk. Have a pleasant Sat out or in. Cubs now have won 20 of 23. That’s mighty pleasant.
Foreseeable consequences are foreseeable.

Fake story with fake AI picture?
An image released by the federal government on Friday showed what appears to be an eight point star flying through the air.
I guess the NY Post has never heard of a point spread function.
