Wakey, wakey!
uhhhhngg….

Saturday and Sunday I ended up (according to smartwatch) doing about 36,000 steps. The weather was perfect, the beer garden full… so the links will focus on tired.

  • City living is so tiresome.
  • I think the Swedes are getting tired of these people.
  • I am definitely tired of this play acting.
  • I wonder if the cows got tired of this.

Music. On point.

Comments are open and yours.

P.S. at 1100 tomorrow, we are out of non-serial material. Plz write moar!

    Bonta accused Paramount of acting in bad faith in a statement issued Sunday night to The New York Times and Deadline.

    “Not only did Paramount leak the alleged substance of settlement discussions, but they misrepresented these discussions, demonstrating a lack of good faith,” he said. “As soon as Paramount stops playing games and engages sincerely, my office is happy to meet again.”

    Paramount should just post this pic in response.

    Over 3,000 active Trychler, Treichler, Trinkler, Trichjer, Scheller, Einscheller, Sonneurs and Schellenders have travelled from all over Switzerland to attend the three-day Swiss National Scheller and Trychler Festival (a gathering to celebrate traditional Swiss cowbell ringing).

    My old man was a Trinkler. Happens when the prostate goes.

    I guess they don’t need more cowbell?

        After they became famous as BOC, they would perform concerts at the Old Fillmore under the original name for their earliest fans.

    California Attorney General Rob Bonta said he canceled a planned sit-down meeting with Paramount to discuss the company’s attempt to merge with Warner Bros. Discovery after details from an earlier meeting leaked.

    Bonta accused Paramount of acting in bad faith in a statement issued Sunday night to The New York Times and Deadline.

    “Not only did Paramount leak the alleged substance of settlement discussions, but they misrepresented these discussions, demonstrating a lack of good faith,” he said. “As soon as Paramount stops playing games and engages sincerely, my office is happy to meet again.”

    Stakeholder capitalism. What about what I want?!

    Noboody cares.

    • JaimeRoberto feckful & gruntled

      It sounds to me like the government is trying to influence the editorial content of a media company. If only there was a word for that.

    Everything about this is ridiculous. First, that’s a damn good lookin’ 65yo. BUT! “A 65-year-old former Catholic school teacher is being accused of sexually abusing two teenage boys decades ago …taught chemistry at the all-boys Christ’s College in Finchley, north London nearly 40 years ago, has denied the claims from the men, who said they were 14 or 15 at the time.”

    Let me tell ya. Forty years ago? (Or this morning?) No 14 or 15yo boys were harmed at the time. Their bragging rights rightfully exploded. And WhyTF do people care decades later? I didn’t see word of a possible settlement, though publicity’s expensive, and here it’s ‘free.’

    Still, “Bowen is facing seven counts of indecent assault against two boys at the school and denies the charges across the board.” I’m sure settle it and get a ‘book deal.’ Statutes of Limitations exist for a reason. Yeesh.

    • Gdragon

      I think that 40 years ago a Sabrina Carpenter video was a Madonna video, that’s the first detail that doesn’t check out 😉

    • ZWAK, doktor of BRAIN SCIENCE!

      So, the youts are both coming and Bowen?

    The government has notably rejected a commission’s recommendations on ways to meet the 2030 target, which included phasing out fossil fuels by hiking taxes on petrol and diesel.

    Genocide.

    • rhywun

      The Stone Age to which the left wants humanity to return will absolutely result in millions of deaths, so… plausible?

    • Rat on a train

      Ban all carbon activity by the end of the year. Let the people get what they want good and hard.

    • Michael Malaise

      I want to start a Genocide in which I eliminate people named Geno.

      • JaimeRoberto feckful & gruntled

        So it’s safe to say you aren’t on Geno’s side?

    • Beau Knott

      The Left might as well sloganize it:
      “It’s our side or it’s genocide!”

        “It’s not West Virginia: That definitely counts for something.”

        Bluefield, WV, where my parents met and I was born. Moved to Eville at ~6mo, I wonder if my departure aided or diminished the Mountain State. (Both, I presume. Better odds, that way.)

      • Tres Cool

        Bluefield, WV was home to Wampler-Longacre chicken. There is rendering plant there that I tested once that is likely one of the most vomit-inducing places Ive worked in.
        Theres an incinerator just for feathers/carcass. One of the few places Ive ever nearly yacked my last meal up.

      • Evan from Evansville

        Oooh, please go on. They both worked at the Telegraph and Dad frequently interviewed (or talked to) coal miners, loggers, and others near that ‘type’ of work. Apparently the smell of it all was really something, but I don’t think I recall a rendering plant.

        They left in ’87… I think he started there in ’72 or ’73. I’m sure it’ll bring back memories.

    Gadzoox

    The vehicle itself is classified as a passenger car with a top speed of 75 mph and a gross weight rating of 3,000 kilograms. It seats four in carriage arrangement, two rows facing each other. It is longitudinally symmetrical, meaning the front and rear ends are identical.

    Riders under eight years old are not permitted, and NHTSA put that limitation more plainly than Zoox does: “the seat belts in the robotaxi may not properly fit all children ages 8 and up.”

    The robotoaster.

    why do they make EVs look like conventional front engined cars? So they don’t scare the horses?

    • The Other Kevin

      I still haven’t gotten a replacement car. Maybe I should just buy one of those, then I could just tell it where to go an take a nap. It would be really convenient for those late hockey practices, and there’s plenty of room for gear.

    • R.J.

      “Riders under eight years old are not permitted”
      Would the Robotaxi kick Peter Dinklage out?

    • Evan from Evansville

      Meh. I don’t hate it. Good idea, especially in Vegas. Only seats four? Huh. I’d want it to be more comfy. Looks like bus-seat comfort, which. Uh. Not good enough. As always, how well it gets the job done is crucial. A bit more than Lyft, article says, for now.

    • Michael Malaise

      I see they will be used in the tropical state of Nexada.

    • rhywun

      Yeah, I would hope those seats are padded.

      But like Waymo I expect that some jurisdictions are going to fight this tooth and nail.

      TL;DR: The drivers are far more politically powerful than the people who would like to pay them but for the fact that the rides are too fucking expensive.

    • Threedoor

      I hate car seat laws.

      They exist to keep car seat manufacturers in business.

      Most modern rigs have built in seat belt height adjusters.

      Just not in the back seat.

      He should probably open a Jira ticket to track the moon, and see why she is in a shit phase every 28 days.

      Chocholate?

    • Ted S.

      Take which Texas?

      • R.J.

        That one!

      • Ted S.

        Not the other one?

  13. The Late P Brooks

    Let’s face it, if you fired everybody on the staff who made you look stupid there’d be nobody left

    The Post, the judge ruled, “did not have good and sufficient cause” to terminate Attiah and had violated the news organization’s collective bargaining agreement. As part of the ruling, the company was ordered to reinstate the writer and compensate her with back pay from the time she was fired.

    Paid vacation and an apology. That’ll show everybody who’s boss.

    The money isn’t coming out of the judge’s pocket.

    • rhywun

      Is there no product that “collective bargaining” cannot make shittier?

      • ZWAK, doktor of BRAIN SCIENCE!

        A bathroom?

    In case you didn’t know, today is National Waffle Day.

    I have a Waffle House right around the corner from Casa Shpip, and was thinking of going there for dinner.

    But now I’m not so sure….

      You better enjoy before the great Canadian maple shortage hits.

    • Ted S.

      I figured you’d go there to watch the fights.

  15. The Late P Brooks

    But now I’m not so sure….

    Where is your iron resolve?

  16. The Late P Brooks

    Yeah, I would hope those seats are padded.

    Hard plastic is easier to power wash.

      “The three liberal-leaning justices publicly dissented, with Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson writing that the rule “lets another shoe drop in the Kafkaesque nightmare that our precedents have been steadily creating for certain plaintiffs who seek to bring election-related challenges.”

      New York Attorney General Letitia James foreshadowed more legal wrangling, calling the decision a “painful setback” but vowing it would “not be the final word.”’

      Uh. How is curbing or eliminating mail-in voting “Kafkaesque?” Aren’t mail-in votes more Kafka-like to the ‘democratic’ mainstay of “One person, one vote?” Of course, not. “…the Kafkaesque nightmare that our precedents have been steadily creating… ” I read that, and am quite certain she *meant* it to read like “the nightmare that our PRESIDENTS have been steadily creating,” but I’m sure she only means that one, especially icky one she doesn’t like.

      • ZWAK, doktor of BRAIN SCIENCE!

        The ‘Titia school of performing arts.

      • rhywun

        A “painful setback” to the Democrat plot to steal every election until the end of time.

        Jesus… even the blatantly biased AP couldn’t polish the turds coming from those two idiots.

    • R.J.

      Aaaahhh! Because he posted it himself! It’s like a Twilight Zone episode!

    • Ted S.

      Poor Swiss.

      I guess we know who doesn’t read the links….

      • R.J.

        I go to the box, and feel shame…

      • Ted S.

        I didn’t think you aliens were capable of feeling shame.

      • Evan from Evansville

        He’s feeling for the shame in others. Hard to come by, these days. His tentacles sometimes get a shiver from some chunky Spring Breakers, but only until they ‘regret’ it, and their sudden empowerment frightens him away. That sends him to his bunk, where his feelers delight themselves, woozy from discovering new flavors of remorse.

      • Ted S.

        So you’re saying shame should sue for sexual harassment?

      • Evan from Evansville

        I wanna sue Shame for not showing up for work, but I’d have to look at its contract.

    Coalition of immigrant-owned grocers file lawsuit against Mamdani’s government-run grocery store – the case will be based on antitrust and predatory pricing.

    The Multicultural Business Coalition, which is composed of 50 chambers of commerce representing ethnically diverse (!!!) businesses – The lawsuit argues that the plan violates New York civil rights laws and the New York Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause, and it asks the courts to permanently block the grocery stores.

    I welcome more examples of woke-agrams fighting the hand wealthy white women think will feed the downtrodden. Commie Momdaddy will have to explain why they have to stay on the plantation for the greater good of the consciousness of the ‘educated’ rich folk who elected him for whatever doofus reason.

    I demand more necessary silliness.

    • rhywun

      Momdaddy

      lol I haven’t seen that one yet. Well done.

      I despise multiculti claptrap but if it can help fight communism I’ll let it slide this time.

    Okay, my website is coming along, and I’m down to a few housekeeping things.

    Roku needs to go die in a fire.

    • UnCivilServant

      Congratulations.

      And 🔥

    • Ted S.

      What did Roku do to piss you off?

      • R.J.

        Yes. Please tell. Maybe I can help.

      • Ted S.

        I only have the Roku box. (When we moved, I wanted every TV to have the same input for streaming stuff.) I noticed the interface change, but it’s not quite as bad on the box.

        YouTube TV can be slow opening, but that’s in part because I’ve got old Roku boxes with limited memory.
