We are closed today- no staff. After experiencing the folks attending the Farmers’ Market a block away, our staff refuses to work Sundays. People who are normally entitled and insufferable are joined by sets of people who are beyond parody and are almost universally abusive to our staff. And the steady stream of people in and out is almost exclusively those who just want to use our bathroom rather than buy anything. And they… use it. Hourly cleaning can’t keep up. God knows what elderly progressives eat but it’s doing their digestive systems no good. So we are declining to be the Porta-Potty replacement for this weekly event.
And birthdays are also a version of elimination, and today’s include a guy who wasn’t happy with Mexicans; a guy who pioneered the race grift; someone who was not the best dinner guest; a woman with symmetrical digits; a dude who was da bomb; a guy with John McCain’s flying skills; one of the very few literature Nobelists who actually deserved it; my favorite first baseman turned barbeque icon; one more brilliant actor who is basically a brainless idiot; an oracular visionary; and a guy who showed us the true evil of Janet Reno.
And on the theme of true evil, have some Links.
The signs look very professional. New Yorkers are getting what they wanted, good and hard.
And they’re in store for a lot more of this. On the one hand, schadenfreude. On the other, I’ll miss going to Chama Mama.
Someone else got what they wanted, good and hard.
The only thing worse than instability is stability. I wondered about the anecdote of the engineering grad who couldn’t get a job and figured something was missing. When I scrolled down to his photo, there was definitely a hint.
Moral panic. This is just modern Cliff’s Notes.
It’s OK, the PR stunt already did its job.
The theme this weekend seems to be blind people. This is not so much intentional as it is the weird way the Old Guy’s mind is arranged. Nonetheless, state of the art fiddling.
Sadly, I don’t think New Yorkers realize what they want.
Cake?
They all want cake.
Amazingly, not all of them want the same thing even.
Some want angle food, while some want chocolate?
What an obtuse comment.
That doesn’t square at all.

Not familiar with the set-up, but could you have a table out front where you sell coffee and pastries to go?
We’ve done that. The people are just as awful AND we have the additional fun of listening to them loudly complain that they can’t get the regular menu or their special coffee drink which can’t be done that way. Sales were shit so we gave that up quickly.
“Restrooms for paying customers only.”
Or is that not allowed under NY law?
Legal but will discourage no-one. We have signs on our outdoor tables that they’re for customers only, but inevitably they’re populated by people who bought their food from a competitor or the Stop’n’Rob across the street and plopped down in our (better) location.
In a big city, you can turn the fire hoses on them, but small towns are different.
Close the kitchen and just start charging by the minute for bathroom privileges.
They can’t just use the street like normal third world people?

Also a 34.
I’ve never offered a black person fried chicken, but I have had black people offer me fried chicken. Of course I accepted.
And my ancestors were involved in the slave trade, mostly as the product.

Also, +1 Rachel from “Bladerunner.”
so weird we have these problems when racism has been cured in Europe
Merseyside police have confirmed they arrested a 47-year-old man from Liverpool on suspicion of a racially aggravated public order offence following the report of abuse aimed at Antoine Semenyo during Bournemouth’s 4-2 defeat to Liverpool at Anfield on Friday.
Real racists would abuse ALL of the black players, not just one, on the opposing team.
52, and a fair part of that score happened just last night going out with old friends. Do I need help?
Quelle horreur!
Recognize reality and negotiate with Russia in good faith realizing you’re not getting full territorial integrity back and US troops on the ground to secure your borders? (Ha! I wish… they’ll probably ego stroke Trump into doing it to “protect our rare earth investment” or some BS… because we should set ourselves up for land wars on both sides of Asia!)
Moscow created modern Ukraine. Everyone seems to treat the current set of borders as though God himself drew them, and not Soviet commissars.
Ukraine’s international borders are not inviolable, but the internal oblast borders are, if I’m correctly understanding Putin’s desire to have the whole Donbass.
Illogical, but since everybody’s view on the situation is a principals, not principles one, unsurprising.
No border is inviolable except insofar as it can be defended. Principles are lovely things, but precisely how do you suggest they will prevent Russia from keeping what it already took, and holds? Every land border is ultimately set by this method.
And much of the same crowd likes to ignore the borders of the country that God did draw himself.

I’m not feeling terribly generous this morning. Given that the Intifada is not only against Israel but against the US as Israel’s main sponsor (and since it is really yet another cover for anti-Western Civ commies)… I’m quite willing to take them at their word that they’re declaring war on Western Civ and the US in particular and have them locked up.
Probably not legal, probably not the right moral / ethical / constitutional state… which is why it is good I have zero power or influence… but that’s my feeling this morning. More than a little tired of tolerating those who advocate the destruction of our society, country and rights (someone stop me before I start going full Colonel Jessup without the fig leaf of actually providing any security or rights or anything…)
Well, Islam has already conquered Michigan, Minnesota, Paris, London; it looks like NYC will be the next to fall.
The left has been declaring war against the “west” for decades – it is the entire reason the Soviets ginned up the “Palestinian resistance” nonsense in the first place.
Not surprising given that there are a lot of very wealthy Jew-haters out there.
I feel the same way, SDF. At this point, those who don’t see this as blatantly anti-western civilization are willfully blind, useful idiots, or in league with these wannabe murderers.
That explains why housing prices are still climbing.
Sure, because when demand falls, prices increase.
Herpity derpity doo!
The assertion is that demand isn’t really falling — young people fresh out of college want/need to move, for example — but that supply is.
Whether that assertion is in fact true is an open question.
When the counters are worth less it takes more counters to buy a thing.
America’s Mobility Is Stalling
Rootless cosmos hurt most.
It really depends on the market. There is a good swath of the southeast where prices are slowly falling.
Ouch.. the township might have to look into implementing a VAT tax… or they’ll be down to the dregs of their fiscal holdings.
Again, put a cork in the puns.
Couldn’t they just raise the alcohol tax?
“By July, his administration shut down a suicide hotline for LGBTQ+ youth, leaving countless teens stranded.”
Bullshit.
They are snowflakes. They need their own special hotline.

But there isn’t any snow in July, how did he strand them if there is no snow?
“Countless” – we have no idea how many, if any, “teens” were left “stranded”.
Spark Notes was modern Cliff’s Notes. Turns out most students are lazy and incurious. Who’da thunk it.

“Protester holds a piece of bread as he walks past national guard, in reference to an incident where a man threw a sandwich at a federal agent on Saturday in Washington, DC.”
That’s racist against the gluten-intolerant.
“A justice department order to replace the Washington police chief, Pamela Smith, with DEA head Terry Cole as the city’s “emergency police commissioner” ran into problems after a challenge in federal court by the DC attorney general, Brian Schwalb.
Without issuing a direct ruling on the challenge, US district judge Ana Reyes indicated that Smith has to remain in charge.”
So fucking tiring.
Personally, I’d simply make all of DC non-residential. Let them commute from VA or MD and live there. No more whining about representation. No city government crap to deal with — let the agencies keep up their buildings and the Park service maintain the roads.
Please no. MD and VA already host way too many FedGov parasites…
Just make DC a true federal district encompassing the White House, the Capitol, SCOTUS, and whatever else you need to draw a sensible border around those. Maybe include the Mall and the museums.
The only residents of DC should be the President and First Family and VP and Second Family.

“I was raised in a socialist communist society, so I am the antithesis of Zohran Mamdani’s ideology,” declared Joseph Hernandez.
“In fact, he’s a motivator for me to fight in this race. I despise socialism. I am a believer in the American dream. I’m a believer in capitalism. It’s not perfect, but it’s lifted more people out of poverty than any other ideology,” he said. ”

UK government inexplicably tells citizens to delete old emails and pictures to save water during national drought — ‘data centres require vast amounts of water to cool their systems’
I have no specialized knowledge of data centers, but most systems using water as a heat transfer medium are closed systems. You use the same water because it is effectively infinitely reusable, and in fact replacing the water is a bad idea, because it introduces more contaminants that will line the pipes and reduce the efficiency.

“During the outcry against nuclear power in the 1970s, liberal Oregon lawmakers hatched a plan to slow an industry that was just getting started. They created a burdensome process that gave the public increased say over where power plants could be built, and the leading anti-nuclear activists of the day used appeal after appeal to delay proposed nuclear plants to death. It had a huge impact: Oregon’s first commercial nuclear plant, the one that spurred lawmakers into action, was also the state’s last.
What those lawmakers didn’t plan for was that 50 years later, an Oregon citizen activist would use that same bureaucracy to hinder some of the very energy projects that today’s liberals want: wind farms and the new high-voltage lines needed to support them.”

“Both have offered an illusory promise of cheap, miraculous and never-ending power over nature – a promise that is now coming to an end.

No.
“That means we need alternative models. One proposal is for governments to fund an international institute that develops publicly owned antibiotics, rather than relying on the private sector; another is to incentivise development with generously funded prizes for antibiotic discovery. And to address the issue of overuse, economists have suggested that health authorities could run “subscription” models that remove the incentive to sell lots of antibiotics.

Within weeks I did get an interview for another position with them and went on to work for them for eight years.

African Union joins calls to end use of Mercator map that shrinks continent’s size
Good luck with that. All the major online map systems use Web Mercator.
Also, the point of the Mercator projection is a straight line on the map is a constant compass direction. So if you’re sailing from, say, Ghana to Virginia, draw a straight line on the map, measure the bearing, then sail in that compass direction.
Slave trader confirmed!
Technically, a rhumb line from Ghana to Virginia crosses quite a bit of land. Good luck sailing *that*.
It is otherwise a terrible map projection for most applications, but not for the reasons the AU claims.

“Although Guo’s lawyers and Chilean officials cut a deal Monday that ended Guo’s official detention, he’s still stuck because the Cessna plane he used to fly on his mission is no longer in working condition.

As noted by CBS, Guo began a trip to be the youngest person to fly to all seven continents. He also said the trip was a fundraiser for cancer research for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
Guo and his Cessna 182Q had already hit North America, South America, Asia, Africa, Australia and Europe.

They only just found out about it from Trump. That’s why they hadn’t already taken care of it.
