Alumni Weekend is full swing in the Gulch. I’m suddenly median age in the crowds and entitled progressivism which builds over the decades following a liberal arts “education” at an expensive private university is thick in the air. Combine old and crotchety with a strong sense of intellectual superiority and you have a sense of the brew. Yesterday’s cheeseburger story still has me chuckling.
Fittingly, 10b0t found this left on the floor:
One guy in a mask came in and ordered the barley salad and an iced tea for dinner. At 4pm. Ok whatever. WebDom went out to his table with his order, and he covered his tea with a lid, but no straw. She asked if he wanted a straw, he said no. The lids are to keep germs out when other people are near him…. “I’m pretty sure my face showed what I thought when he said he’s protecting his iced tea from my breath.”
Birthdays today include a guy who could give you some pointers; a guy who apparently loved short doorways; a guy who dug up and polished some of my favorite writers; a guy whose career depended on Watson; a guy whose voice was my nightmare in elementary school gym class; the only woman to appear on the one dollar bill; the closest character to me ever on TV; a woman who was happy to tell you to grow up; a guy who didn’t let anything phase him; one of the heroes of the Vietnam War; and the guy who’s the reason we’re all here.

Oh — and hopefully most folks get de reference.
If only I could access that part of my memory.

““No contact orders can be very useful in giving survivors of sexual violence immediate safety without having to navigate a campus or legal system,” says Jo-Ann Finkelstein, a clinical psychologist and author of “Sexism & Sensibility: Raising Empowered, Resilient Girls in the Modern World.” That sense of validation and agency can be critical for the process of recovery.”

“Agency?” Having Mommy government or Administration protect you from having to see or speak to the bad scary person you don’t like is agency? The argument for liberty is self ownership, and self-ownership is a coin with two faces, liberty and responsibility.

I love the quote about “proud city of immigrants”. Her hatred for the natives on full display… it’s quite impressive really.
LA is getting what it voted for good and hard. I’m still wondering what, if anything, will make the local Dems move toward more moderate policies and politicians.
Chafed based on the evidence of every other Dem-run major city, nothing will move them to anything constructive. Not the pols and not the voters – they’ll all just wallow in the decay and cry about how it must be someone else’s fault.
Fuck them all and feed them into a woodchipper with very dull blades.
Why wait for them to create a solution? Build a wall around all of the “sanctuary” cities and tell them they’re on their own. Just leave the rest of us the fuck alone.
@JI I am sadly forced to agree.
They don’t all suck but none of them are good either. What do you expect for something that’s edible that costs thirty cents?
I don’t think I’ve ever eaten ramen.
It’s not bad drenched in either olive oil or butter and only half of the flavor packet being used. If you go by the directions and only use what’s given in the package it’s an overly salty mess.
Make the distinction between ramen and instant ramen.
I don’t mind instant ramen as a junk food splurge, but maruchan is not the best. I agree with OMWC.
As Stinky notes you can change it up without much effort and make something much better.
Real ramen is a favorite, but high in fat, sodium and calories.
Fat is good for you
All I could think as Newsom prated on about calling up the Guard to protect Federal officers and facilities being “unprecedented” was… “Dude… there’s one big nasty precedent called ‘Sumter’ out there… do you really want to push things to that point?”
I don’t think he does — I just think he (and Bass) is an incompetent idiot. I also tend to agree (not surprising to y’all that have heard my rants) with Vance that “What would you call a group of people, especially military aged men, crossing a border en masse and then fighting law enforcement officials while waving the flag of another country in any other case?” Yeah, they’re not directly assaulting the military — but that’s asymmetric warfare for you. Which also leads to another tweet I read this morning that I have to agree with “Mass deportations are the moderate response.” — in other words, if they keep pushing things we might swing over to a hardline response… and that wouldn’t be pretty.
Interesting times — in the Chinese fashion these days. Yay.
Newsome thinks he still has a chance, nationally, and wants to keep this under wraps. No chance of that now.
National Guard to arrive in LA in 24 hours, as governor calls Trump’s move ‘inflammatory’
Where are the social workers when you need to diffuse tensions?
I’m trying to understand what Newsom thinks is correct response. Just let rioters throw rocks at federal agents and block their vehicles? It’s a complete abandonment of the rule of law.
It worked just fine in 2020. The thugs got billions of dollars, corporations kissing their ass and forcing their employees to do likewise, and Team Red got bounced from office.
Entirely caused by Democrats.
None of this was an issue when St. Barack did the exact same thing.
It’s not incompetence – it’s evil. They are literally pitting groups against one another and heavily favoring the one that is comprised of illegal aliens.
Because Donald.
Newsom is a constant reminder of Dems suicidal politics.

Release the hostages. Stop attacking your neighbors. Hopefully then start building up your own infrastructure so you don’t depend on people you’ve been conditioned to hate. The answers are right there, jerks…. and everything I’ve seen over the decades says that if you actually did that, Israel would certainly be accommodating of a status quo and more likely than not would have their pendulum swing to a government that would do a two state solution at the least with concessions. But of course — your “leaders” don’t want that (because there would be less international graft to siphon and funding from states looking the stir the pot) and again.. you’ve been conditioned for decades to hate them.
My sympathies are rather low as a result, sorry.

“Equity driven” loans during the PPP Admin (or Obama admin) at a guess. “Why is it the Fed’s job to steal money from taxpayers and loan it to small businesses” is of course the question most of us want answered (in the Davy Crockett fashion)… but you knew that and just wanted to see a wave of Fuck you, cut spending, didn’t ya?
“California Gov. Gavin Newsom called it “unfair” to allow transgender athletes to participate in female college and youth sports.”

“If I mouth the right soundbites, I can put them on my political ads and emails and no one will look into my actual actions! Don’t you know modern politics?”
Yeah, the idea that the left will move towards any ideas that Donald espouses is delusional.
And Mayor Pete grew a fucking beard. A beard. To appear more masculine or something.
Ah the petty tyranny of “code violations” at the local level. The same assholes who otherwise would run HOAs… I’m firmly in the “you shouldn’t be allowed on the property without notice” combined with “you can not use any observation other than human visible wavelengths from outside the property line without a *proper* warrant”.. but 1) I doubt that’s surprising around here (okay, that I didn’t call for legalized AA emplacements might be around here) and 2) Since it runs against the local power structures… doubt it will happen over all.
This is again the sort of thing that I assume drove people to the frontiers that just couldn’t live with the “for the community!” types that take over any sufficient concentration of people. If only there was a viable one right now (Animal is doubtless stressing that “Nope… Alaska is too cold / full up! Keep your Californians down in the Lower 48!”… I’m not Mike Crider, but I can sympathize… [Oh and complete side tangent… but if Animal reads this… 40 percent into book 2… and have to say, did not expect the direction you took that literary universe… “What the hell, good sir?” was muttered more than once… ])
We don’t necessarily want to *encourage* AA encampments. They’re mostly good people, but put a bunch together? .. There’s gonna be trouble.

Just as fat Al Sharpton was the best Al Sharpton, fat Lizzo was the best Lizzo.
Also not clicking — but probably not alone in thinking “Just about any bikini probably looks “tiny” on Lizzo”.
I prefer the “before” look. But I still may be in my bunk.

The paper said Bannon claimed? It wasn’t his third cousin’s ex-wife’s new boyfriend’s daughter?
‘the paper’ turns out to be the WaPo, fabulists extraordinaire. Of course.
And then a hockey game broke out?
I was thinking “slap fight”, but close enough.
I used to be at least partially sympathetic to Bannon, what with all the lawfare directed against. But fuck that guy with a sideways rusty axe head. “Deport Musk” is bad enough, but “Nationalize all his companies”… Just fuck off. You lend credence to fascist accusations against the Trump admin. And if they continue to listen to you and involve you in their decision making process, maybe those accusations are correct. Die in a fire you piece of fucking shit.
We are treading in an ocean of lies. Who the hell knows anymore?
I think I will just sit and watch and see how it all shakes out in the end.

This is correct. Any government action is a misallocation of resources, causing a nonzero number of deaths. The number may not be as large as 1, but it’s bigger than 0.

Apparently, yes. Just as fake handicapped parking hang-tags are.
I’ve also seen several plateless cars with prominent “Untaxed Vehicle – Do Not Tow” signs, apparently some type of sovereign citizen thing.
Fun story: One summer I worked with a guy with a pronounced NY accent and Alabama plates on his car. I asked him about Alabama and he said he’d never been there but there was a magistrate down there who would register your vehicle and sell you Alabama tags for much cheaper than he could register the vehicle in NY.
I don’t have the handicap post card. No one calls me out after they see me walk. I like to park near the cart corral so I can use one to go into the store.
We’ve all seen the abuses. Some places have “Educators/Law Enforcement” reserved spots, what’s up with that?
4×20: Unenforceable, along with Pregnant Women Only and Clean Air Vehicles Only (hey, mine passed its smog test).
Yes, in TX fake “30 day” temp tags are all the rage. If you see a clapped out Camry with 30 day plates running a stop light, he gets right of way unless you want to lose you car to an uninsured, unlicensed, illegal immigrant. They also won’t be cited if caught because reasons.
In Washington, registration is more expensive than the fine so more people are just not renewing their tabs. As long as they stay off the interstates, I doubt they ever get caught.
It’s also a misdemeanor, so I don’t fuck around and find out, in spite of my registration being double the fine.
“The study, published in JAMA Health Forum, found that if all 50 states removed fluoride from public water systems, kids would develop 25.4 million more decayed teeth over five years. The study noted that “tooth decay would disproportionately affect publicly insured and uninsured children compared to those with private dental insurance.”
After 10 years, the total number of decayed teeth would increase to 53.8 million at a cost of $19.4 billion, according to the study.”
https://justthenews.com/nation/states/center-square/study-projects-removing-fluoride-public-water-would-cost-billions
Bullshit.
Funny. NJ is about 95% unflouridated.
I’m sure they factored that into their math, right?
Despite every study (other than the very first shoddy one that led to mass flouridation) being unable to find any link between flouridation and tooth decay along with, at best, a very weak mechanistic pathway. What is it with the fascination with medical interventions with 0 dose control? Strange how, when threatened, ‘studies’ (I’m guessing there’s a lot of modeling and input assumptions at work here) pop up finding SURPRISE! The Science supports our desired outcome. Now get in line and do as your betters order, you rube. I seem to recall something similar with masks, despite decades of contrary evidence…
I like this bit for Wikiganda:
What % of the U.S. now runs their drinking water through a fridge that has an activated charcoal water filter?
I don’t think charcoal will remove fluoride.
Ozy’s series certainly leaps to the foreground here.

I don’t think so either.

“a guy who dug up and polished some of my favorite writers”
Not only do we have Campbell to thank for The Thing, one of the greatest sci-fi stories and subsequent movies (John Carpenter’s version, of course), but we also have him to thank for some of Heinlein’s work. Campbell on motivating Robert Heinlein:
I can’t find a good source for this quote, but I’ve seen it on the feed of The Heinlein Society, so I assume they vetted it.
Heinlein gave me my favorite and most useful quote about writing. “To a writer, the most beautiful words in the English language are, ‘Pay to the order of…'”
I don’t find them that beautiful — but I think that’s because I see them so often in outflow instead of inflow. (Adulthood is when you stop looking forward to the mail because you know it is all junk and bills…)
To everybody else, it’s “You were right.”
Re the snippet website you said was unreadable. What I didn’t get to explain was that I did it for phone mostly/only (to my dismay). Trust me, I don’t like that it looks like shit and I can do much better work than that.
However, I realized a couple of weeks ago that people my kids’ age and younger don’t use PCs much if at all, don’t really use tablets, either. They use their phones almost exclusively. Now, I don’t think I’m going to get vast numbers of new readers from the twenty-something contingent, but NOBODY drags their PCs with them to the doctor’s office. So, I had to make it readable on a phone.
Now, the problem is that I keep the samples in PDFs on my WordPress installation and it’s embedded from Scribd (scroll down). Ain’t nobody reading that on a phone. They may not even read it on a PC.
I suppose I COULD put the samples on my WordPress installation as a page. I just now thought of that as I was typing this.
I get to take my docs to the KCPD today, probably take a lie detector test, a couple of general IQ tests, and possibly (hopefully not) some sort of physical fitness thing. However, if they’re that stuck on physical fitness, they’ll probably just take one look at me and escort me out.
Look. You’re putting 911 callers on hold. Don’t be proud.
Polygraph, not lie detector. The former is almost as reliable at the latter as astrology.
I was denied promotion and access to some critical programs during my aerospace days because I refused to stake my reputation on the outcome of a witch doctor casting chicken bones.
Tomayto, tomahto. I almost never lie. If I don’t know or if I don’t care or if I don’t have bandwidth to think about it, I’ll just say, “I don’t know.”
Or rather, I should say, I only lie between the covers.
Nothing as far as clearances or anything, but in the before times, the long long ago, a young Fresh Meat was getting a night shift job at a 7-11 that, for some reason, required a polygraph. During the exam, it was clear the examiner had a pre-conceived notion of what my answers should be and he would not accept that I wasn’t on drugs. A young, relatively good looking – if I may be permitted that indulgence – guy fresh to southern California looking for a night shift position, of course I was doing drugs (wasn’t even drinking at the time) – “don’t worry about it, everyone does it they won’t disqualify you, just be honest”. He wouldn’t take the truth for an answer.
Some time later, I was BSing with the manager after my shift and he pulled my ‘file’ and we looked over the polygraph report. “Subject was evasive and untruthful with respect to drug usage”. Now I know I was 100% truthful with respect to drug usage. The examiner didn’t believe me, so the machine ‘caught’ me in a lie. I have no doubt that a skilled interlocutor can make some fairly accurate estimations about truthfulness, but the polygraph is a fake prop designed to give some semblance of sciency thruthiness to the intuition of the person administering the test.
I hope whomever is administering yours is gentler than the DoD contractor that did mine.
A couple of hours of the same repeat questions- it was certainly an interrogation and not an interview.
Fun fact- if you have a guilty conscious, a couple of ativan or a xanax before you take the quiz removes the anxiety that the machine is allegedly recording. But I suspect they drug test before now.
P Meat: and if you had pretended to agree with him?
Yeah, the threat of a polygraph – or a drug test – is an absolute deal breaker for me.
And I don’t do drugs (anymore).
For a 911 operator, polygraph tests don’t bother me in the least bit. As for drug tests, all I have to do is take my rx bottle. In fact, I think I’ll take a pic of it before I go. It’s the physical fitness test I’m a little worried about.
Hey at least they aren’t hanging up on them
Oh, no. They’re doing that too.
While I do believe “frontline healthcare” seems to be as scripted as “level 1 tech support” in a lot of ways — I don’t trust this quack to lead the charge on implementing this, nor do I really want impersonal HR chatbot style interactions everywhere while we all desperately look for the “press 0 to speak to a human” option.

I was at a dinner party with a bunch of boomers. They’re all highly educated, most of them stem professors/ ex professors. They have a wine club and were debating the merits of this and that vineyard. We spoke at length about their over seas travels, their other properties. Two of them told the stories of their great grandparents homesteading, beaming with pride they still owned the land; making residuals off the mineral rights and renting farms.
Most of them have pensions from multiple governments. Working all across the anglosphere in academia and government agencies.
All of them were parents with kids about my age. None of them were grandparents.
The only political topic that came up was deportations, and how sad they were that they would have fewer international students to have an excuse to go visit over seas.
I like these people, they’re friendly and good hearted. We have great conversations. But I’ve rarely met a more out of touch group of people in my life.

Trump should fire up the autopen to put Biden’s signature on a pardon (backdated, of course) for Abrego “MS-13” Garcia, then announce that they have found a previously unannounced pardon and he will be send back to El Salvador immediately.
Let it stew for a few days, with everyone calling it an obvious fake, and then say “yeah, we used the autopen for this, its not real, but how, exactly, can you tell this one from all the other pardons, and other documents, signed with the autopen?”
Argle blargle falsifying government documents argle blarge high crimes and misdemeanors, fire up the impeachment machine!
Somehow, I doubt a big blowup over using the autopen to falsify documents is going to break in the Dems’ favor.

Striking a blow for justice
A 2024 Tesla Cybertruck was given an extreme makeover about 1:50 p.m. Wednesday in the Boise area, after a vandal smeared lipstick across the truck’s stainless steel surface. The suspect, who was seen arriving in a red sedan, is suspected of causing an estimated $500 worth of damage to the vehicle, according to a news release from the Meridian Police Department. Police reported that they had identified a suspect by Friday afternoon.
The lipstick was used to draw on the side of the Tesla Cybertruck, but what was drawn and the shade of lipstick were not disclosed in the news release.
A swastika, perchance?
If locals refuse to police civilians who are openly attacking feds, what the fuck do you expect?
These leftist fuckers have for years rioted with impunity. They destroy shit. They hurt people. And, out west, the locals don’t do a goddamn thing about it. If you want to maintain the foundational democratic principle of not having the military police civilians, then the locals need to do their fucking jobs by actually policing civilians. Instead, we have the locals openly encouraging and supporting civilians in their bullshit.
Just wall the city off and have them fend for themselves.
Didn’t Clinton deport around 12 million?
Maybe. But the democrats have moved from reasonably moderate to very far left politics, and he’d be strung up by his own party now. I’m surprised that they haven’t condemned him ex-post facto on many of his positions, which, of course, are many of the positions Trump currently holds.
He still hasn’t been ostracized for admitted sexual harassment (and unadmitted sexual predation).
There is such a thing as the Insurrection Act which gives the federal government extraordinary powers over states.
And the National Guard has been federalized before when local authorities refused to act.
“What began as a so-called “spontaneous protest” against ICE enforcement operations in Los Angeles has now been exposed as something far more insidious: a well-funded, coordinated riot, with ties to radical left-wing organizations, government-backed NGOs, and even a billionaire known for pushing Chinese Communist propaganda.
According to a damning exposé by investigative account @DataRepublican, several nonprofit organizations and shadowy political fronts played a pivotal role in igniting the chaos that saw federal officers attacked, flags burned, and city streets blocked.
But what’s more alarming: tens of millions of dollars in taxpayer money may have indirectly fueled the unrest.”

“The Department of Homeland Security is funding one of the groups that is staging protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which falls under DHS. War Room’s Natalie Winters shared the shocking information on X, showing that DHS, under the Biden administration, gave a project grant to Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights (CHIRLA) in the amount of $450,000.
CHIRLA has been engaging in and staging protests opposing ICE. Protesters with CHIRLA carry signs saying “Stop deportations: full rights for immigrants,” “ICE: out of our communities,” “Education not Deportation,” “Stop the starvation, stop the deportations,” and “The Trump Fascist Regime Must Go Now.””
