Something big happened this week, and it has nothing to do with Israel.
This is my review of Ommegang Super Bolleke:
I will concede now there is someone on the internet linking the Jews to LA residents burning their own neighborhoods. I will not argue for or against this.
Back in March I had to pick my son up from the airport after a school trip. He was standing by the curb at the location he requested which made me happy he was attuned enough to his surroundings he could give his location over the phone. Heâs becoming a functional human.
This was my first encounter with a Waymo. I learned at that exact moment the car is designed to never take right of way, even if you yield to it. Unfortunately for the guy in the Waymo this left him waiting until I figured this out, and at the airport seconds matter! And so, in LA they took advantage of this and stood in front of the Waymo, while it sat helplessly asking its overlords to enable self preservation modeâŚ.why did they let it die like that? Why?
Anyways, Waymo responded predictably by refusing service to the parts in LA that is seeing such violent protests. Which if the meme is correct, means theyâre still working for like 99% of LA. According to some, this act of senseless violence is in fact symbolic of the struggle against capitalist oppression. What else would it be? (TW: The New Republic)
But you donât need to look into the mind of a protester to see the symbolic power of a robotaxi. Itâs easy to comprehend what they stand for: an effort by the richest people on earth to eliminate employees and any other human friction that might get in the way of profit or interrupt their efforts to cozy up to the Trump administration and aid in its quest to terrorize millions of people. Robotaxis can also just be really fucking annoying. These arenât unrelated phenomena.
Theyâre starting to do the thought map memeâŚ
Again, nobody really knows why Waymos were vandalized. Maybe they offered a convenient, on-demand way to block traffic that would inconvenience Google executives rather than regular people who need their cars to get to work and the grocery store.
I know why: you can download the app on your phone. Summon the car on your phone to your exact location, and it has no owner inside to worry about having to fight off your attempts to light it on fire. A convenient way to sow discord.
Those companiesâ successâthe reason weâre supposed to give in to all their demandsârests on their promise that the products that are making a lot of peopleâs lives either more annoying or objectively worse will, at some point, render our shared future âalmost unimaginably bright,â according to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. Or else!
Our futures donât depend on AI developersâ continued existence. Real-world evidence seems to indicate that a world of their making is one thatâs worse to live in. And their bubble could burst soon enough. Like their allies in Silicon Valley, Republicans promise an apocalypse that only Donald Trump can protect us against. Trumpâs ghoulish deputy chief of staff, Stephen Miller, points to burned-out Waymos as âall the proof you need that mass migration unravels societies.â The people actively unraveling society for Angelenos, though, are the masked ICE agents who are abducting children from school, not a few protesters torching robotaxis. The hellish future Stephen Miller warns aboutâof an alleged âinvasion of the United Statesââis already here. His goons are the invaders.
I gotta say, it takes a special level of retarded communist agitprop to get me to consider if Sam Altman is the good guy. Way to go commies.
If it says, its good, its really good on the can..it had better be really damn good. Well it is. Bolleke refers to a Belgian style that is somewhat obscure in the US but is well known enough that the type of glass used to serve the type of beer is eponymous. That is âŚits the same name, âBollekeâ. Which means this is a collaboration of some kind? Yes! Try it, their assurances on the can are in fact true. Its good, its really good. Ommegang Super Bolleke: 4.3/5 7.8% abv
That beer sounds delicious. I may have to seek it out
Of course mass immigration destroys societies, that’s why the people sho want to destroy our society are in favor of it.
Sometimes itâs colonization, sometimes itâs diversity and a human right to move to someone elseâs country.
Itâs easy to comprehend what they stand for: an effort by the richest people on earth to eliminate employees and any other human friction that might get in the way of profit or interrupt their efforts to cozy up to the Trump administration and aid in its quest to terrorize millions of people.
Okay, Kreskin.
“Darryl Cooper, whom Tucker Carlson lauded on his show as âthe best and most honest popular historian in the United States,â said on Thursday that America should âcommence airstrikes on Tel Aviv immediately.â”
https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2025/06/the-online-rights-israel-foes.php
WTF?
Dave Smith, Joe Roganâs favorite comedian-turned-foreign-policy expert … denied claims that Cooper was an antisemite; Cooper just had ânuancedâ views, Smith said.
Ooooohkay, bullshit alarm went off there. Agree with Dave Smith on Israel-Palestine or not, he has thoroughly explained on his show why it’s implausible that Darryl Cooper just hates the Jews.
I mean, asking us to cut off support/aid is one thing. Demanding that we bomb the shit out of the Israelis is ridiculous and obviously anti-Semitic.
Israel has caused a lot of trouble. Cutting off aid and ordering our navy away would solve them.
Won’t happen, and maybe to his point, too many in our government are owned by AIPAC. Now a thing on X to ask grok how money a politician receives from them.
Tucker really wants to dismantle his evangelical audience?
âWill you STFU? Theyâre just kids.â
“Show me on the doll where Waymo hurt you”
Whether or not it’s real, I got a kick out of this waymo post
https://x.com/bwinterrose/status/1933754336456442237?t=JSCF-Ut3byKZsXcBUT_uVg&s=19
I can’t stop laughing at this. Does that mean I’m retarded?
https://x.com/DoTheRightWing/status/1932837917359288429
Yes, and that goes for me too.
Our local protest had two sad individuals. One had a soak the rich, feed the poor sign.
Couldnât even be bothered to be on topic.
đ¤Łđ
I passed by the most obvious location where any “fun” would happen here – twice – and there were no signs of black bloc hippies or anything.
Sad. Iâm in a lance-the-boil mood. Letâs have lots of violent âprotestsâ and an appropriate response. Letâs get this done.
Nah, don’t give them what they want.
Cool weather and rain storms tamped down the number of people expected. They also chose some… questionable… suburbs to target. Most of those lean Trump if not Republican, but I’m guessing the ones in the more progressive areas are already going to the “big” one downtown (that I avoided).
“I will concede now there is someone on the internet linking the Jews to LA residents burning their own neighborhoods.”
Here you go:
“The number one funder of these groups are American Jews. It’s by far the number one funder of radical insurgency.”

I AM THE ONE WHO FIRSTS.
I am in Boston today. I had the pleasure of watching a bunch of No Kings protestors on my subway car. They should have double booked it with an NPR convention.
Visible man buns?
Saw a rather classic video from the recent video. Two white liberals on bikes blocking traffic, black mother (who wasn’t bad looking, probably would) gets out and asks them to move because she’s headed to work. Person recording stops them and asks how they feel blocking a black woman from going to work. The little white liberal cunt pretending to be a man laughs and says “Oh no, not work.”
Basically sums up the privileged little shits with time to go to this. Along with the deranged individuals who have just been completely indoctrinated.

Professional assholes. Should be removed from polite society.
Someone should arrange a “protest” to physically block access to an abortion clinic, then see how much the Lefties believe their own bullshit line that standing in peoples’ way is peaceful.
Akira, why do you want the feds involved?
Needz moar pepper spray.
I saw it in el gato‘s post today.
Throw an orange at them.

Good afternoon everyone! It’s a beautiful day here in North Nowhere Vermont and I’m out on my Adirondack chair enjoying a bug-free experience because yesterday I mixed up a new batch of 0.5% permethrin solution and hosed down the A chair pad and my at-home baseball cap. Both are now dry and the buzzing biters are keeping their distance. A learned discourse about permethrin can be viewed here:

Unlike the observations of Fourscore and others this Summer in NNV is a lot bugger than the last few years. I’ve pulled off two ticks which are my first in the 30+ years I’ve been here. I think the reason is that we didn’t have a thaw all friggin’ Winter. Snow fell in November and didn’t melt until March. Mother Nature loves her nasties so much she provided an insulating blanket for them to shelter in all Winter long. The bitch.
Fourscore: Some of this bounty will be headed your way shortly:
https://www.wcax.com/2025/06/12/vermont-again-leads-nation-maple-production/
The pint jugs aren’t labeled but this time I think the syrup is darker with more maple flavor and less sugar. If anyone from last year’s Honey Harvest has some syrup left over they’ll be able to do a taste-test comparison.
Hi Richard,
Ticks are here but that’s the same as always.
Speaking for all the participating Glibs, anyone that still has your gift of god leftover should never get another award. Thanks so much. Bees are doing bee stuff, though it’s been a little cooler than usual. Enough rain for flowers though. We have one weak hive, hoping to beef it up a little next week.
Still no mosquitoes, had a couple of deer flies a day or two ago.
“The average retail price per gallon in 2024 was $58.30.”
Seems like maple syrup and honey are competitively priced. My back of envelope opinion is that maple syrup is more work but for a shorter period of time. Honey production takes a little work for a longer time with the hard work at the end being shorter as well.
A local nursery that also is a CSA (community sponsored agriculture) hub has a sale going now for strawberries and maple syrup. A flat (8 quarts) of fresh picked (day of pickup) strawberries for $50, or 1 quart (3 pounds) of syrup for $25.
I’m tempted, but I’m going to try to be strong and not purchase a bunch of ingredients that will dictate desserts and cooking for the next couple of weeks (and/or figuring out the best way to preserve those strawberries).
But, what am I going to do with eight quarts? I can’t eat that many before they rot, and my freezer is full.
âthis Summer in NNV is a lot bugger than the last few years.â

STEVE SMITH VACATION IN RICHARD NECK OF WOODS THIS SUMMER!!
I larfed. Made my day.
I am heading out soon to help a friend sail a boat around to the south shore of Oahu so he can sell it. (29ft Ranger for a good price- just throwing it out there)
It should be a good day on the water and will include a stop for a drink in the only remaining old style Tiki bar on the island.
No biden style Politburos!
I bet when you get back to the pier you’ll have some interesting quay parties.

Sharknado! đŚđŞď¸
I saw a hawk with a screaming squirrel fly past my drive once, it was cool nature stuff
Saw a hawk drop a snake a few days ago, looked like the snake was road kill, no squirming in the air prior to Bombs Away.
I watched a Bambi cross the sidewalk in my little downtown the other day, about a half block away. When I passed by, he was standing in someone’s back yard looking confused.
These are all signs that the Prophecy⢠is coming to pass.
I just want to throw out “burrito antifada” as I was introduced to it today from the Archedelia substack.
I like it. Consider it taxed.
I like it
Snow fell in November and didnât melt until March.
Sounds like upstate New York in my high school days (late ’60s early ’70s).
Land Cruiser sold for $32k. Egad.
The bubble still has some helium in it.
Iâd be interested but not at that price for that mileage.
Laboratory of Democrat-ocracy
Democrats in this deep-blue state have spent years working to shield California from a hostile White House, dating back to his first term. But for them, the weekâs events registered a new low â a multifront assault that not only threatened the stateâs liberal values, but exposed the limits of Californiaâs ability to control its destiny when the federal government has other ideas.
That only works if you keep it in your own back yard. Trying to impose your rules on the other states won’t fly.
Something tells me that chasing out the middle class is also going to “threaten the stateâs liberal values”. đ
Trying to impose your rules on interstate commerce wonât fly.
Billionaires funding feckless goons paid by the day to cause mayhem = exploited regular, hard working people fighting against capitalist oppression. The grass roots of it are evidenced by the generic printed signs displaying all the same vapid slogans and the identical flags and riot gear passed out. Also, the pallets of bricks set in place. What a transparent clown show.
Commie propaganda is always and everywhere the same.
Hey Florida…that sheriff that said “throw bricks you will go to the hospital. Throw firebombs you will go to the morgue.” have you got any more of those guys?
Elected officials spent months preparing for a second Trump administration. They studied Project 2025 and set aside money to contest Trumpâs agenda in court.
But the scale and aggressiveness of the onslaught has still stunned them.
They announced their intention to fight him on everything. Why didn’t he surrender?
The Project 2025 he and Vance were visibly annoyed when they kept get asked about it during the campaign after saying over and over and over again they didnât read it and has nothing to do with their agenda? That Project 2025?
âThe idea that the federal government can bigfoot the state government is coming to the fore,â said Loyola Law School professor Jessica Levinson. âWe are experiencing that, if you have a power struggle between the federal government and the states, chances are pretty high that the federal government wins.â
And by bigfoot mean BRUTALLY RAPE.
Wow, I wonder what event decisively determined that.
The National Minimum Drinking Age Act of 1984?
I consistently enjoy Ommebangâs beer.
This weekendâs beer is from Flagstaff- Dark Sky Rainy Daze. A very nice pale ale/borderline IPA Iâve had before. I wish my local carried more Tucson beer, but they donât answer to me, so *shrug*.
I like that one. For some reason I can only find it at the Total Wine in Desert Ridge.
Something I haven’t read… is Waymo going to be charging the people who requested the self driving cars to the point of being lit on fire? I would guess that the self driving car has cameras, which should have video of the person setting it on fire. I would think it would be non-trivial, but in the company’s interest to investigate and press charges.
Itâs a bad idea to let it go unpunished.
Hell, you could probably get the feds involved for some EPA violation for improper disposal of batteries as well.
Each of those cost $200k to build. I have a hard time believing they wonât try.
Charge em? Hahahahah, even if they tried I am sure there is a handful of lawmakers in Cali that will draft legislation or judges who will give us “no reasonable blah blah blah”
[Roy Scheider voice] We’re gonna need a bigger woodchipper.
Each of those cost $200k to build. I have a hard time believing they wonât try.
No biggie. They’re insured.
Rise up, America, it’s protest season
Itâs protest season in America once again, which means that I and my fellow clear-headed but very pissed off Americans will take over the streets of multiple cities across the country to voice our extreme displeasure with Donald Trump. Iâm not gonna get into all of Trumpâs offenses, because even the internet doesnât have enough space to accommodate them. So letâs boil it down to Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Weâre protesting Trumpâs Not Terribly Secret Police for all of the evil sât theyâre doing
Whose side are you on? You’re either with us, or you’re a Nazi.
These are the same folks who ass raped Cindy Sheehan. Fuck em.
Sheehan lost a son. She can be forgiven for her mistake. The rest of the useful idiots, not so much.
Because that is where the insurrectionists have been rioting for the last week?
It is a mystery.
These people do not know what a facist…or even facist lite government would do.
Trump strong arming? Sure…but there would be dead…a lot of dead…if truly going down that path.
They dont need to know anything OBE. It’s all Cosplay. I have seen Renfairs that were more convincing.
These people love themselves some FDR style fascism, good and hard.
Given the lack of wall to wall coverage, im assuming the King thing didnt resonate wirh folk?
I was out running errands just now and found myself at of one of the No Kings protests.
It was
a riotous affair of looting and pillaging, pitched battles between protesters and police, and burning cars blocking the road; the air was thick with tear gas and molotovs and I was lucky to escape with my lifeliterally 3 boomers on lawn chairs with hand-lettered signs.Wife was puzzling over that a day or so ago. An image of ‘protesters’ obviously playing it up for cameras like a high school play….all of them old, fat, grey haired white boomers. “What are those people doing there?”
My answer: “Code Pink”. The glorious revolution is finally upon us.
Que reports or widespread protests…its not the size that matters
Found a pub here that has Gulden Draak and Delirium Tremens on tap (as well as Guiness, and [currently] a mulberry sour)….but it doesn’t open till 8 PM. Good gravy, the hours here are driving me nuts. 8 PM-2 AM…I know it’s hot, but still…
Guggenheim Birrarium
I will definitely be revisiting regualarly – it’s less than a mile away. (pics on twitter)
I think I wanna buy a kayak. Definitely get more use out of it here in Michigan than I would in Colorado… although the ride is much, much slower.
Lazy river kayaking is nice. Do it
Yeah. We rented some a couple of weeks ago and went down the Rifle river outside of Standish. Was very lazy river, like all of them here.
Kayaks are a blast in MI, just stay off the Big lake
I have no intention of going on big water. It scares the hell out of this highlander.
Cue up 2020 Pritzker…shut it you tub of lard.

I’m sure he has video of Donald tossing molotovs, even.
I hope they have enough material for his orange jumpsuit.
XY got sent to a store in a chichi zip code (where I want to live, but husband is like, hard pass), but it’s one of those chichi zip codes that’s got a red line right down the middle, so the haves and have-nots are rubbing elbows but VERY markedly delineated. Thus, many have-nots use my kid’s store for heat/air, a piss-pot, an insane asylum, etc etc etc. It is ALSO in a shopping district that people like to protest in, and they are protesting up a storm.
I was just informed the National Guard has been deployed to RIGHT THERE BY MY KID’S STORE.
Did I see someone here say that Civil War II has already begun? Maybe it was on Twitter.
Sorry. There are that many commies in KC?
I have seen the real thing. This aint it and is not very likely going to be.
Civil War? Between who? The US military vs Antifa? That’s not a civil war, that’s a traffic jam, at the most.
Yep. The only reason they are doing this nonsense is because they dont expect serious pushback. The instant they think they will have to pay a real price they will go back to hanging out with their friends smoking pot and playing video games.
