It’s been warm and dry here in Manly Time, today offered a respite. I woke up to a gentle rain that’s going to continue for a bit. I was going to power wash the patio today in preparation for next Friday’s shindig, but I’m going to use this opportunity to lounge about. Works for me.
Links?
“You’re dick is green. Might want to get that looked at.”
I wanna grow up and be this guy.
Don’t vacation in third world countries.
Uh, yeah. No. We’re done with that.
Tulsi walks out with a mic drop. Too bad nothing will come of it.
Because they were all complicit in the cover up.
Okay, that’s it for me. Back to lounging about. Peace out, Glibbies.
Needs more punitive redistribution
The California Teachers Association, the state’s largest teachers union, opposes a measure on the November ballot that would impose a one-time tax on the state’s billionaires.
“After thorough review and democratic debate about the Billionaire Tax Act, our State Council of Delegates — 800 educator representatives from throughout the state — determined that this policy will not provide the sustainable and long-lasting funding that our schools and communities deserve,” CTA wrote in a statement.
The union went on to say that they fully support taxing the wealthy, but prefer to do so by extending the taxes on the wealthy that were imposed under Proposition 30 and later Proposition 55, which generate millions for schools and community colleges and are set to end in 2030, unless voters extend them in November.
We can’t get by on some piddly one time cash grab.
Oh. Whew!
For a minute there I thought they might have joined reality.
#Wild applause
Privatize the schools.
Abolish closed shops.
Abolish government employee unions.
Maybe try something that works.
umm…
Oh, of course they are. Why would anyone ever assume otherwise?
They are both linked to make it easier to toss them in the trash
Just… wow.
You can’t make this shit up.
Well, THEY did.

Thanks. No doubt Bethannica was looking for it. I shall send her the link forthwith!
Shrek’s uncut? Huh. Seems a proper ogre ritual, but no ogre mohel, I s’pose. Pretty good band name.
I was curious if it would be a red rocket like a dog or more like a human.

Whee!
I mean, most ceasefire agreements between Israel and (*insert Islamic terrorist group here) seem to be more like “fire at each other a bit less than we have been” agreements, so what’s the issue?
Timelss. It reads like a blurb that could have come out in any of the decades I have been alive.
Don’t care.
Hope everyone has fun.
“The (Syrian’s) destruction of the Kurdish autonomous area has not, however, led to a general reconciliation between the various ethnic and sectarian communities that make up the Syrian social fabric.”
No shit, yeah?! *head explodes* Especially over there, were quaint, colonizing, racist and patriarchal ideas like ‘life, liberty, property’ never took hold.
“Various ethnic and sectarian communities” fighting each other basically describes all of the Middle East and the entire continent of Africa. I dunno if it would have turned out any different had The West not dicked around across the region.
Oh, yes. We certainly affect the TIMING of such, that’s true. Most telling: The only parts of Africa that are doing kinda well, or aren’t complete, absolute primitive shitfuck swamps, were “colonized” by Euros. The reality of that SHOULD have more power against the ‘anti-colonists,’ but I suppose it’s a tough argument to sell. (‘Specially when ‘educated’ by those with skin in the game of KEEPING ‘anti-colonizing’ popular for they Big Blue Tribe they belong to.
https://www.thedrive.com/news/another-state-makes-utvs-road-legal-is-that-a-good-thing
Yes. It’s Harleys that should be illegal.
UTVs are great. I’d drive one with a pickup bed if I was allowed.
Oy, all the commenters on that article pissing and moaning about UTVs skirting emissions and safety requirements makes me sick. God forbid anyone has a say in how they live their life outside what Uncle Sugar says is allowed.
Best response in comments: “Whaaa, whaaa! Let freedom ring!!!”
55mph.
That’s pretty cool.
Idaho limits them to 50mph roads but we get four wheelers as well.
Limiting drivers to 17 is dumb. Driving should start at 14.
I got my unrestricted DL at 15. OTOH my folks restricted my driving.
Interesting times, ahead. I wonder when if/how something more organized gets under way.
“A maniac went on a bloody rampage with a machete in Scotland that left five people hurt.
The shirtless attacker appeared to be targeting Muslims in the Friday attacks, which unfolded in Edinburgh, according to reports.Video shared online appeared to show the suspect saying he was “protecting his country” from Muslims while being held on the ground and arrested.
—
“I’ve told you time and time again, I’m protecting the country from these f–king Muslim bastards. Raping our young daughters, raping our kids. Enough is enough. I have had enough,” the man shouted while being cuffed.”

It was inevitable. People have reached their breaking point. It must be really bad there.
Narrator: We know it is really bad. In so many ways.
The newly released report of the ~250,000 rapes+ that were, uh, not investigated and silenced? I want to catch up on that story, specifics-wise. Not only was the justice system uncaring, folk that were were actively punished for tweeting.
They proudly allowed themselves to be disarmed, so knives are an easy option, but I’m guessing they’ll go back to bombs. But the Islamic retaliation? Uh, they’re more ‘seasoned,’ I expect. More willing to die for the virgins.
It’s all profoundly fucked.
0 for 5.
Maybe all those Scottish soccer fans we keep hearing about aren’t just impressed by ranch dressing but also our apparent lack of a Muslim rape gang problem.
I’ll allow it.
Who the hell knows. The Left is eager to hang this on OMB but Donald’s claims are entirely plausible given how batshit his enemies are.
Busy day. I’m grateful to have a Saturday off. Been working 6x10s. Kinda burnt out. Salaried so I don’t get paid for it. No end in sight.
I got the kitchen and bathroom cleaned. I planted the wacky tabacky in tubs outside. Planted the flowers (marigolds, zinnias, forget-me-nots, calendula, amaranth, poppies (the fun kind)) in containers. Planted the herbs in containers. Hacked at the thistles in the big garden. Burned them with the propane torch (die, muthafucka, die!). Planted morning glories.
Tomorrow I need to plant 5 butternut trees, several grape plants, and several raspberry plants. Maybe I’ll even get some potatoes in the ground.
I pulled a muscle in my back while feeding the chickens. Sipping on Laird’s Apple Jack (Thanks to whomever suggested it a while back) to make it better.
I’m always glad to get someone else trying applejack.
Save some space for Fall rhubarb, you never know
That being said, UTVs are not engineered to the same safety and emissions standards as passenger cars.
Fuck off, grandma.
Don’t read the comments on the article, the Karens are strong with that site.
It’s astounding. Why do they care? Don’t drive one then!
Fuck off Karens!
Because someone, somewhere might be having fun.
Noise!

Cutting the root with a shovel seems to be the most effective way of dealing with the giant space cabbages we have here. They just come back if you spray them.

Did he paint himself blue?
A maniac went on a bloody rampage with a machete in Scotland
And he’s slashing like he’s never slashed before.
@Ted: At first, I was gonna point at the slasher’s inexperience and compare with the ‘bombing experience’ I mentioned above.
Then I realized what you did done did there, and appreciated it. Slasher couldn’t pull it off like Chris Farley.
Leesburg is right next to The Villages, i.e., a bunch of superannuated Boomers who can’t afford to retire to coastal Florida but can afford a Corvette (or in this case, a Corvette and a Nissan 3xxZ).
Florida recently passed a “Super Speeder” law, and certain counties are making a point about enforcing it. Expect to see lots of “Florida Man arrested for doing 120 on a straight section of deserted county road” headlines for a while.
I got stopped for doing 122 mph in rural Oklahoma on my motorcycle. Rural road. Cows to the left (fenced). Wheat fields to the right. It was about the safest place to see what she would do. I crested a hill (or what you would call a hill in flatland OK) and saw a car with gear on the roof. I honked on the brakes. My buddy also honked on his brakes. The officer turned around and lit up his cherries. He asked to search our bikes. I said no. He knocked it down to 85 in a 55 mph. Triple digits in OK means they confiscate your vehicle. I consider myself lucky.
I got pulled over once doing 85 in a 50 in my 70 Suburban. I’m so glad they didn’t catch me before I slowed down to take the corner they caught me on where I had had the speedometer pegged.
Gave me a warning.
“Keep it down, WAY down”
I was disappointed the article didn’t say what the Nissan was. I was wondering if it was a Z. I can’t think of anything else that could hang with a corvette.
I saw the article elsewhere and I believe it was a modern Z.
A GTR would dispatch most ‘vettes pretty handily though.
Thanks for the info.
I didn’t expect it was a GTR doing “only” 110.
Rental Altima with bumper covers flapping in the wind.
If you’ve never done 100+ on Alligator Alley, are you even from South Florida?
I learned it is a red card to cover your mouth during an altercation. Soccer is retarded.
Is it to make it impossible to lip read the ‘racial slurs’ the red-carded are yelling? Everyone in baseball does it for that reason. <– That's the only explanation that makes 'sense,' and it's really, really fucking dumb. Again, *childishly* dumb. Fucking retarded 'adults,' some of whom may book learn certain things just okay. Damn.
VOLDEMORT, MOTHERFUCKERS!! DO YOU HEAR IT?!!?
That is exactly why they are doing it, because racism is literally the worst evil the planet has to offer. This campaign to “end” it has been going on for a long, long time.
Yeah, fuck sportsmanship and couth.
I’m sorry dear chap, please expect my sincere apology for my transgression against you. /Hyperbole
Paging Charlie McCarthy…
Only since about a week ago. Apparently the reeducation camps aren’t working it was felt that sterner measures were needed.
I learned it is a red card to cover your mouth during an altercation. Soccer is retarded.
Flopping is a res card now too
Apparently my fingers are retarded. Or drunk. Maybe both.
You can say that again.
This statement is squirrel approved.
I have to look up what a Red Card is now don’t I?
3-6 days during a given month said card is drawn and presented to me. I respect the card and go about my day ensuring I will live.
Ugh… work.
I hope the comment I just added to a Teams thread prevents me from getting a confused phone call around 11pm or midnight.
You’re lucky work gives you a functioning Teams.
I’ve been complaining for months that I have to use the web version and that it doesn’t give me the toast pop-ups, and IT can’t be bothered to do anything.
We have a pretty good team, I have to admit. Of course I am also IT and therefore very competent too if not involved on that side of things.
It will not.
I know a lot of you are still on the Trump train. I found his first term rather innocuous for all the hyperbole until Covid. Yada yada. Term two has basically almost justified some of the rhetoric around him and these are the people he surrounds himself with at this point.
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/jun/20/trump-elon-musk-peter-thiel-retreat
While it is rich seeing the left freak out over a gathering of elites who think they can set a global agenda and shape the world in their image, it doesn’t make it any less shady. The group in question was also founded back in 2006 when Thiel was considered more “libertarian.” And it’s not all ‘conservatives’ on the list here by any stretch even if the left is attempting to paint as such. It’s kind of fun to see Corey Booker among others pretend they have no idea what this outfit does because obviously you attend so many secret gatherings organized by billionaires and attended by some of the most powerful people on the planet that it’s easy to forget.
And of course Epstein was invited…back in 2014. Showing yet again that a little sex trafficking conviction isn’t going to get you kicked out of polite society.
There’s really not much to this story. Just a list of names, some of which are trying to distance themselves from it now because it’s a bad look with Thiel being in bed with Trump’s regime.
It’s really just more of the same shit anyone paying attention has noticed for a long time. It’s a big fucking club among our elites and you and I aint in it. We’re the cattle they want to herd in this or that direction.
Other talks include “Build-a-Cult,” moderated by the founder of the Christian networking site Pray.com, and “Build-a-Party,” run by a former White House national security official.
Super serious evil genius stuff there.
Oh…but ya, im sure they are eating babies and such.
If it functions like a lot of the rest of these gatherings, there’s different levels to it. These seem to have been quite large with a “diverse” group of people. But you don’t get those power players there to have a public discussion with other rich people on their sex life.
There’s almost certainly mingling that goes on in private.
And it’s hard to deny that Thiel doesn’t have his fingers in a lot of awful crap. And that the world isn’t shaping up how he wants it to.
Another component of this that is odd to me is that they seemed to collect data on the attendees that they wouldn’t probably disclose in most settings from political leanings of attendees which may not have been obvious to other details that they promise not to disclose in general or to other attendees.
You know, there’s really no level of outlandish crap about our “elites” that I would put outside the realm of possibility. These days they are an odd mix of depraved, maniacal, and frankly clownish.
I think there’s little meat to the story as is and it’s kind of more of the same, though because it’s Thiel and he’s involved in MAGA world it’s drawing interest from the anti-Trumpers.
But meetings like this actively shape the direction the world goes in. There’s evidence of that over time.
Except..it wasn’t the Notorious Epstein..as the reporting corrected.
Look, I get powerful men/groups drive society, but what are you even getting at?
There are emails from Epstein discussing Dialog. Where are you seeing any retraction or correction on this subject? Thiel has other connections to Epstein in the past as well. Given his publicly known ‘preference’ I don’t think he was engaging with underage girls, but there’s always been far more to the Epstein case than just sex trafficking.
I don’t know why you think I’m pretending to have some secret in-depth knowledge of the events that took place or take place or specific things that resulted from this. I’m noting another shadowy kind of meeting among our elites that is making the rounds because a list of attendees has been leaked by a ‘hacktivist.’
I don’t have some grand conspiracy here or a unified theory of everything with regards to secret cabals that rule us. Just noting it. Why are YOU so worked up over a topic that has been brought up on this site many times in the past
Not worked up but my blockquote was straight from an editorial correction from your link about which Epstein was invited. I didn’t just decide to make it up.
Well yes. The list circulating is of seemingly active ‘members.’ Epstein presumably is no longer active, yet still connected.
Oddly…i blockquoted the correction in my first reply and its not there anymore.
Not sure if I would trust the Guardian
You know who else was worried about secret cabals?
The residents of Salem?
Thoth-Amon?
King Kull?
Conan the Conqueror?
Geralt the Witcher? Well, he is more concerned with monsters…
Denis Nayland Smith while he is trying to catch the eeevil Dr. Fu Manchu?
Alex in CT?

To be replaced by an even worse leftist. Yay!
It’s not the policies. It’s the messaging.
I recently discovered that there was an animated Dragonlance movie made back in 2008:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0825245/?ref_=fn_t_1
4.8/10. I’ve acquired a copy and will be watching it tonight. Wish me luck.
Did not know.
Well, that was something.
Not great, but better than a 4.8. The main problem is that everything is (not particularly good) traditional animation, except the dragons and dragonmen which are all terrible CGI. Younger son couldn’t stop laughing at the dragons.
Kids enjoyed it, though. Older son wants to read the books (which I re-read a few years back and weren’t nearly as good as I remembered them being, when I originally read them at his age), so I’ll have to dig those out of the garage.
Lucy Lawless! 👍

Ha! The Useful Idiots, who are elsewhere reminding us that they fucking hate America, just trash the place so Trump can’t have anything good. Beyond that, 250th Anniversary is a pretty big deal. Just further make the nation look bad, precisely as they’re lamenting they can’t be more like Europe. It’s like they wanna recreate poverty foreigners see at their homes. To make ’em feel more welcome during the World Cup? And to give those Euros MORE shit they can make fun of?! (Yes. Makes UI’s feel more in-group w Euros.)

These are the final broadcast from countries (primarily radio) as they fell. Japan’s is interesting since it was the first time the Japanese people heard the emperor’s voice. The DDR is oh so DDR. The Falklands captures the now missing British spirit.
Good news everyone!

We’re getting a piece of the action!
I really think dealing with Trump is very much like dealing with the Chinese. If you give him an out and let him save face he’ll pretty much agree to anything. He can pretend he’s a to ugh guy recouping losses with this while America will almost certainly never collect a penny.
Increasingly that means “don’t vacation anywhere.”
Yup. There are several so-called First World countries I won’t visit under current conditions.
Happy Fathers Day.
