I just ate one of these Trader Joe’s butter cookies with guava paste. I normally hate guava but its surprisingly not awful.

I need to draw up two reports this morning so that’s as good an intro you get today.

¡Enlaces!

This will only work wonders for gas prices.

Judge rules to allow proposed border fence erection over a levee in Texas.

WHO RUNS BARTER BORDER TOWN?

Would they prefer he die in El Presidenté Duebro’s camps?

Let me check. Yeah its smoking.

Boomers that still read USAToday know Communists didn’t take over South America, and you’re blackpilling?

Interesting approach, but given the source I will leave the door open to them reading too much into it.

Now who is denying elections?

I am going to post this tune because there is a non-zero chance it was stuck in your head in the past 10 years and you have no idea who made it.

    Perfect video accompaniment.

      I had to do a double-take – I have never seen that episode because Comedy Central never shows it in their endlessly repeating rotations. In fact they generally skip most of season 1 and a lot of season 2 for some reason.

    Reuters on Friday reported on residents’ concerns regarding ‌the ⁠potential health and environmental effects of the incident and the gas flaring, which started in early March. One researcher ​estimated the ​well burned ⁠about 300 million cubic meters of gas between March ​and July.
     
    Pemex said it will continue ​to ⁠provide medical services to more than 45 communities surrounding the area and deploy ⁠field ​teams to document the ​impact of the incident.

    For Christ’s sake, it’s a capped gas well, not Chernobyl.

    But the department has been running into opposition by landowners, environmental groups, Native American tribes and others who argue that the government’s rapid construction endangers environmental and religious sites and a way of life along the border. Opponents also question the urgency to finish the wall when migrant crossings from Mexico are already at extreme lows.

    A) Are we still doing “he said without evidence?” B) Could be because we have 2 years until a Democratic president resumes the policy of allowing 5-6 million illegal crossings per annum (and yet miraculously, the total illegal immigrant population has been a steady 10-12 million since 2006 when I was writing an immigration policy paper in college).

    It’s been longer than 10 years since it was stuck in my head, but I actually did remember the band/artist.

    • rhywun

      I might have known the name of the band 20 years ago and forgot.

      What I do know is I never liked it not even after seeing it in thousands of different movies and commercials.

      • Pat

        In same way that nudists are always the sort of people you never want to see naked, the songs that get stuck in your head are never the ones you want to hear over and over again.

    Razor-thin elections in Colombia and Peru are redrawing Latin America’s political map, reversing the “pink tide” of left-leaning governments that defined the region in the early 2020s. The term “pink” implies a softer form of communism than “red.”

    Huh. I thought it was because they were a bunch of pussies.

  7. The Late P Brooks

    Is a barista with a political science degree underemployed?

    • Pat

      Probably overemployed. Certainly undereducated.

    Essentially, if the Argentine national government runs a fiscal deficit for several months in a row, the Congress receives a warning that it has a matter of weeks to fix it. If it doesn’t hit the deadline, the “shackle” activates automatically, and the political class will be the ones impacted. Here’s what happens:
     
    1. Non-essential government functions are suspended (hello, government shutdown).
    2. All new spending is frozen and will not be authorized until the problem is resolved.
    3. No new contracts can be awarded.
    4. No new public-sector employees can be hired.
    5. Discretionary transfers to the provinces are halted.
    And last but not least, the best part:
    6. The salaries of the top politicians stop completely. The vice president, ministers, secretaries, undersecretaries, national senators, national deputies, and even El presidente himself will not receive a dime of taxpayer money until they solve the problem.

    I’m not familiar enough with Argentine government to say whether their courts overturn it, congress simply ignores it, or the government caves when the population begins squealing like stuck pigs when the checks stop coming. Saying it even passes. I have a feeling their political class probably isn’t going to subject itself to a doomsday device.

    The reviews are in:

    ‘Spider-Man’ screening evacuated due to strong flatulence odor

    Aug. 4 (UPI) — A screening of Spider-Man: Brand New Day at a movie theater in Colombia was evacuated when the room filled with a foul, flatulent odor.
     
    A video recorded at the Cine Colombia cinema inside the Plaza Bocagrande shopping mall in Cartagena shows movie theater customers — including one dressed as Spider-Man — filling the lobby after evacuating the theater.
     
    The cause of the odor, which witnesses compared to a fart, has not been confirmed, but theories include a patron with a medical issue passing a large amount of gas or the detonation of a stink bomb, a prank device that gives off a strong odor reminiscent of flatulence.

    • Pat

      Apropos of little, I remember being dragged to the theater to see the original Sam Raimi/Tobey Maguire Spider Man in 2002. I was the only person leaving the theater who thought it sucked. Which has been my experience with capeshit ever since. One of the stars of the latest sequel of a rebooted reboot (Sadie Sink) was born the same year as the Sam Raimi/Tobey Maguire original. So basically, I’m old and cranky. But I was also young and cranky.

      • rhywun

        The first couple Superman movies are pretty much the only “capeshit” (lol) I will watch on occasion.

    • R.J.

      Told you not to pull my finger.

    immigration advocates say he had been denied his medication while in detention

    Calling bullshit.

    But fits the sob-story narrative that is required here. Cue the protest circus. Rinse, repeat.

    The government is also facing another lawsuit in Texas where an environmental group and a church preservation group have teamed up to oppose DHS’s plans.

    Dismissed for lack of standing. That’s how it works, right?

    Reuters on Friday reported on residents’ concerns regarding ‌the ⁠potential health and environmental effects of the incident and the gas flaring, which started in early March.

    “We had a stiff breeze last Thursday, and the gas dissipated. Problem solved.”

    Something tells me that the Messicans are less accommodating of enviroweenie grifters than the Norteamericanos.

      Are they willing workers or slaves? And why does NJ want to make everything more expensive for everybody?

        You know the answer!

    What the fuck is up to canadian mosquitoes in civilized europe they are active one hour before and after sundown. Here i got bitten at 4 in the afternoon. What the hell.

  14. The Late P Brooks

    I haven’t really been following that In n Out rodeo in Twin Falls very closely. Apparently two people, the “civilian hero” and an off duty cop were shooting back.

    Did either of them actually hit him? The news said he died of a self-inflicted wound.

    • Sensei

      I believe not, but they did make him flee and decide to off himself at that particular time.

      Even cringe hero is ok in my book. He engaged without hitting bystanders.

    • Pat

      According to CBS News:

      The police chief said an off-duty police officer and a civilian engaged Williams and returned gunfire.
       
      “We believe their actions drove the suspect from the scene, preventing further casualties,” Hicks said.
       
      Jordan Salinas, a 35-year-old from Kimberly, Idaho, was the private citizen who returned fire at the gunman, the Idaho Statesman reported.

      Sounds like he merced himself in the parking lot.

    • EvilSheldon

      No confirmation either way so far. Looking at the Google Maps of where Jordan was vs. where the shooter was, I doubt that Jordan hit him, and if he did, I doubt it did much. It was about a 50-75yd. shot, and homeslice was running subsonic 55grn. 5.7FN, which is about like a .32ACP energy-wise.

      Dunno where the off-duty cop was.

      Still, the incoming fire might have distracted the asshole. That particular brand of shitbag tends to eat their gun at the first sign of opposition, so it certainly didn’t hurt.

    • Sensei

      JFC.

      “The team identified the event you experienced, which was caused by a body control module (BCM) software issue. During an engine start stop (ESS) event, the BCM that reads the hood latch sensor sent a brief, irregular voltage level to the engine control module (ECM). Due to the irregular voltage level, the ECM could not determine if the hood was open or closed. The Charger’s safety protocol does not allow an automatic ESS restart with the hood open, thus prompting your cluster message and requiring a manual restart. Our team completed a software reflash to the BCM we believe eliminated the event you experienced on this pre-production unit, which has not been reported on any customer vehicles,” a spokesperson said.

      • rhywun

        I defy any manager of that place to explain exactly what is the benefit of all that software.

    “We believe their actions drove the suspect from the scene, preventing further casualties,” Hicks said.

    Suppressing or suppressive fire, right? They successfully knocked him off course and that ain’t nothing. I’m mostly curious. I have no idea what the distance was.

  16. The Late P Brooks

    Has there been any talk about motive? Were any of the victims known to him? Was he pissed off about those fries? It seems like truly random events like this are vanishingly rare.

    Let me tell ya about my border fence erection. The biggest, safest, classiest erection you’ve ever seen. Kamala Schlammala couldn’t suck it. About all she’s good at! But mine. Spectacular. Every inch. All few of ’em. Gonna chew through Dems’ voting ‘migration’ scheme. Blue chew. Oh. We’ve gotta those guys on it. “Get hard with Blue Chew, Chewin’ Dems’ Blue chow thru DEMocracy! Chew ’em up. Spit ’em out. Like AOC always does. Loser. “Chew TEAM BLUE with Chew Blue!” God. I’m already hard.

  18. The Late P Brooks

    the ECM could not determine if the hood was open or closed

    You can’t live without that.

  19. The Late P Brooks

    I still can’t figure out whether that Charger was shutting its engine off at the stoplight or something else. Good writing, dummy.
