Speaking of Pie, I heard Romania captured a maritime drone which then went all Imperial Probe Droid.
Is a maritime drone a seabee?
Literally with the probing?
I always wondered what exactly the interrogation droid did to Princess Leia in the first movie…
Subjected her to dialog from the first three movies in the temporal sequence?
Oof. That would be cruel even by the Empire’s standards.

Longaberger was a huge thing for a while. Handmade baskets, “collectable,” sold for stupid money. Every basket signed by whoever made it. Then they started farming out some of the work to overseas and sales tanked. The only cachet they had was “craftsmanship” and where is that in baskets made in China?
The family still owns a lot of land east of Newark, I believe. Back when they were still in the money, they singlehandedly refurbished the Midland Theater in Newark, which is like a mini-Ohio Theater, if that reference helps at all. Its-a-verr-nice.

“I think appointed officials are doing enough by themselves.”
If someone told me a story about the way things are now I would have told them their fiction sucks because it was all implausible. Reality is far worse than any dystopian fiction, it seems.
We have broken the rule of law, possibly permanently. Judges ignore the law in favor of ruling based on political expediency, juries refuse to convict members of their own racial tribe despite overwhelming evidence, prosecutors bring nonsense charges simply to inflict the misery of the process on people who dare to have the wrong views. The basis of our society was high trust in each other and in our legal institutions, that is largely gone now. We imported the third world values as well its people, the values are far more damaging.
In there quest for power at all cost, the marxists have managed to make every institution untrustworthy. When people no longer trust their institutions, then society will degenerate and collapse.
All true. The worst will be when the Dems finally pack the SC, which will render the entire judicial system illegitimate. Each party will just add more justices and overturn every decision every time there is a change in power.
“SNAP delenda est.”
The sad fact is that only SNAP is under scrutiny. Frankly we should be scrapping ALL social programs at this point, as they are all rife with fraud – BY DESIGN – and we tax payers are getting fucked over by a class of unproductive scum that eats and live in luxury at our expense. And I am not just talking about the recipients, but the government & government adjacent entities making bank from this fraud.
Speaking of unproductive scum, this is one sailing to re-election in L.A.
Decline is a choice…

The vast majority of the voters do nothing remotely resembling thought in their electoral choices, or most likely in their lives. Of course since the candidates are almost inevitably lying, dissembling, misleading and every other synonym for deceiving you care to add, as well as drawn from the less intelligent portions of the populace, and the reporters are just as dishonest, and arguably even less intelligent, the results are only theoretically tied to the electoral choices made.

First off, it’s what, a 2 hour drive? Even with my weak bladder and fuel consuming pickup, I don’t need a stop in the middle of that.
There was a shocking lack of cheese in a store with that name.
Alas, while it’s only a one day drive for me, it’s a one day such that when I drive by on my way back it’s not open yet, and on my way there I need to skip it to sign in in with the range before it closes.
UCS did you go upstairs? That’s where the cheese vault is.
Relevant Cheese Shop.
Yes, Tres, I explored the entire place. The lack of selection was disappointing.
UnCiv, if you’re ever passing through Galway:
https://waterwheelvillage.com/
Suspiciously good cheese prices. I can only hope it’s because they’re in freaking Galway and don’t have access to a large enough shopping base of wealthy people.
Or perhaps they’re shoplifting and reselling. Dunno.
I was disappointed to find that it wasn’t a barn constructed of actual cheese.
The name is misleading.
@Tres – same reason I’m disappointed with Panda Garden.
I’ve been to the Cheese Barn, it’s … okay. They do have some varieties of cheese I haven’t seen elsewhere, but since Krogers contracted with Murray’s to run their cheese sections, I get pretty good selection here at home. And UCS is kind of right, the vast majority of what’s on offer in the Cheese Barn complex is non-cheese garbage.
Buc-ees is weird.
It’s obviously a truck stop but does not allow trucks.
Ukraine war briefing: Ukrainian men should be turned back from EU to fight, says Swedish minister

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jun/05/ukraine-war-briefing-ukrainian-men-should-be-turned-back-from-eu-to-fight
We will fight to the last Ukranian.
Go back and die so we don’t have to raise an army. If we have to raise an army we won’t be able to afford to import as many cultural enrichers.
How about keeping the Ukrainian men and sending Muslims in their place?
How does that help with eliminating whiteness?

It’d be training the invaders to be more effective invaders. Just castrate them, strap them to bombs and drop them on Syria.

I guess from that article we’re supposed to be incensed that food stamps are paying for *gasp* fast food. Quelle horreur! We need to instruct them in the proper foods, and prohibit the wrong ones.
Shaniqua and Cletus hardly ever eat quinoa salad with acai! We must protect them from the bad foods.
I take affront at the fact that the program isn’t automatically diminishing. To many people have shown themselves to be worthless entitled parasites. Any handout should be miserable and shame-filled, encouraging people off of the program, or just booting them after a while.
Well, yeah. I’m just making fun of this particular angle.
I remember food banks and black and white Generic labels, paid for with physical food stamps that looked like Eurotrash Currency.
I have no issue with strict purchase limits to be placed on SNAP products. You used government force to steal my money so you can eat. It is only proper that I get to place limits on you use your stolen goods.
I would have less issue with using SNAP for fast food if I trusted for even a second that the 60 and above or disabled provisions actually be enforced. We all know that they will quickly drift down to every recipient and the cost of fast food be used as an excuse to increase the monthly giveaway.
Good point Threedoor. Bring back the physical stamps that must be detached from the booklet at the cash register and no change given. I know the leeches won’t feel shame, but at least they should receive the disapproving glares from the tax cattle.
It’s degrading that SNAP is not accepted at Michelin Star restaurants.
Those establishments tend to have expectations of decorum from their guests.
I am amused at how “onerous” it appears to be just to set that up. FFS how hard can it be? It’s probably more that they don’t want the extra hassle of dealing with the Feds, I mean who would. Or dealing with those customers, as Unciv notes.
Walz asks if the SNAP coupons can be used in ethnic restaurants in Minneapolis?
Only if the ethnicity of the user matches the ethnicity of the restaurant. Anything else would be racist.
We have a good first mover advantage here and good market share. How about we all divide the spoils?
Anthropic Urges Global Pause in AI Development, Flags ‘Self-Improvement’ Risk

The left is convinced that the plan is now to hold a giant pump and dump with the various IPOs because Wall Street has finally figured out that AI is the biggest bubble yet and wants to get out and let the pop happen after selling the companies to middle class 401k and IRA holders via ETFs.
What about AI NFTs?
The whole thing is so confusing. First the hype was, “AI is so powerful everyone will be out of work and it might even kill all humans.” In reality it’s a great tool for some things, but right now it’s not making people 10x more productive. At the rate it’s going, trust us, it will get there really soon, we promise.
Meanwhile those data centers cost a fortune, and there’s no clear path to how they will turn a profit.
And there are companies making big decisions based on the promise of what AI will do in the future, not what it does now.
I think you’re right, this might be the biggest bubble yet.
And then when it all collapses, we can turn the data centers into affordable housing!

I do have some sympathy here. A lot of the drinking and bad behavior you see on planes is from people who are anxious about flying. It gets even worse if they mix anxiety meds with booze (and lots of people do.)
I’m surprised it took this long for an airline to confront the issue of drunken yobs. Seems like that has probably been an issue for a few decades.

In Local News
An explosion occurred in the Port of Constanta, shortly after a marine drone was found. According to initial information, there are no casualties, the Department for Emergency Situations reported.
The drone was spotted Friday morning near ARSVOM, inside the port of Constanta, Naval Forces spokesman Alexandru Turturică stated. He says that the Naval Forces did not intervene, but were in a support role, and other institutions such as the SRI and DSU were the ones that intervened. The maritime drone exploded on its own, in berth 78 of the port of Constanta, DSU spokesman Bogdan Toma told Hotnews. No one was injured, he said. Following the incident, the red intervention plan was activated at 10:29 a.m.

What!?! Democrats intentions don’t pan out? Say it ain’t so!!!
An already heavily gerrymandered state couldn’t squeeze more out?
I don’t think Virginia Democrats considered that possibility either in their illegitimate gerrymandering attempt.
They honestly thought now was the time to rig the system and finally get the one-party rule they’ve been dreaming of. Seems the revolution isn’t quite as far along as they thought it was.
JI, I thought this would be about Platner’s claim he would totally rape any home invader, but not in a gay kind of way… You know, just rape them to show dominance or something…
Newsome would get raped.
NYT just published a bit about women that dated Platner and how he creeped them out. Not sure what kind of play this is in the game since he’s been leading Collins in polling.
There must be even worse about to drop.
Based on the VA AG election, where a guy that clearly said he wanted the children of his opponents brutally murdered to force said opponent to change their mind still getting a majority of team blue votes, I suspect this Platner revelation was just done by the NYT to desensitize the general marxist lemming voter ahead of time. Note that almost a decade later we still have zero proof of Kavanaugh ever having even been close to any of the shit the left accused him off back when, but they still all claim this man is a perv and that he was allowed on the SCOTUS proves the right hates women. But no matter how bad what democrats do is, when it interferes with their pursuit of power, they will turn a blind eye to it. Fartman (Swallwell for those that don’t know) was sacrificed FOR power. Not because they care about any of that shit they used to kill him off. And the marxist globalist cabal needsPlatner if they want to grab the senate and use it as a weapon to block whatever Trump might want to do for the American voter.
The moral here is to never, ever take any democrat playing the morality card of any kind seriously. Even when they MIGHT not be making shit up.
rhywun:
I’ve seen statements claiming that there’s enough dirt on Platner that’s going to be leaked up until the drop dead date to remove his name from the ballot, at which point the really bad stuff will be dropped.
Considering we’re already at the point of neo-Nazi, threatening to rape home invaders to impress women, and the raft of items showing poor impulse control, what more can there be?
Has the old “dead girl/live boy” standard gone by the wayside?

There’s already been pedo adjacent accusations, but most of those are based on his choice of messaging app. Based on past stories and the general accuracy of journalists, I’m putting that with a salt lamp sized grain of salt.

it’s shite feeling old.
I will definitely agree with that sentiment…
At some point it’s not a feeling.
Reality is a bitch…
I thought Trainspotting 2 was a worthy successor.
Also, I had no idea the Scots still used no-shit barrows to interr their dead.
Trainspotting 2 and Clerks 2/3 all work for me. I apparently was at the right age/stage of life for both movie series to hit appropriately.
I’ll say it – I did not care for it. At least not enough to watch it again since seeing it in the theater.
I loved it; still do. Bought both soundtracks. The theater applauded and whooped at the end credits.
I love not just the whizzy effects but its dark humour.
T2 wasn’t as memorable.
Wow, can’t believe it is 30. Went to see it on some shrooms in the theatre the weekend it came out and loved it. Never saw Trainspotting 2, but maybe I should check it out.
|“Trainspotting” is in part a sly corrective to “Clockwork,” which heaped scorn on both criminals and criminal justice. No one suggests Renton’s misbehavior is even partly attributable to poverty, abuse, neglect or any kind of systemic failure, nor is the judge who orders him to complete a rehab program a figure of fun. Renton’s existence is the sum of the things he chooses.
One of the reasons I loved it was exactly that. I have a natural aversion to the progressive worldview of society or outside forces being the deciding factor in how one’s life unfolds.
T2 might not be as fun or as memorable as the first, because it is the same characters, and most of them have grown out of the drug and party phase of their lives. That actually made me like it more because I could believe it.
It was very late in life I got around to actually watching West Side Story so I was taken aback by how old the “criminals are misunderstood products of society” meme was, and that it was so old that by 1957 people were already making jokes about it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7TT4jnnWys
Middle-aged Spud falling backwards in a chair was memorable; also the garage chase.
I’ve read only the first novel: very bleak and regional. The sex tape plot isn’t in it.
Moral fibre: Tommy > Gail > Lizzy > Diane > Spud > Allison > Renton > Sick Boy > Begbie. Begbie is obviously terrifying, as is the “But he’s a mate, so what can you do?” mentality.
Shallow Grave is great too. Similarly loathsome characters but also Hitchcockian. Spoiler with ironic music choice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQlh4k5pXKA
I’ll take what little humour Scotland offers. Dour people.
It’s such an unbelievably destructive way of thinking, and it is one of the main reasons why mental illness and depression is far more common with those on the left. “It’s not your fault” is not a recipe for a strong and healthy psyche. And of course as with any great and enduring falsehood there is a kernel of truth to it. If you grow up with shitty or absent parents you are much more likely to be irresponsible and delinquent.
I am now gonna have to check out T2. Speaking of which, Kelly Macdonald is an under appreciated actress.
Indeed Tox, also went to see Shallow Grave in the theatre when it came out and dug it. I love their humor, somewhat in between the Irish and the English and yet unique.

If I lived in Maine, I wouldn’t bother voting for Collins.
If I lived in Maine, I wouldn’t bother voting.
lol We know you don’t vote anyway. 😛
However if you were dead in Maine we know exactly how you would vote.
Because the 17th Amendment happened.
It’s not that they can’t, it’s that they won’t.
I say that because I suspect that since 1913, Senators care more about the next election than about what the voters want. We wouldn’t be stuck with useless bags of mostly water like McConnell for decades under the old system.
Senators pre-17th didn’t care what the people wanted either. They were representing the state government in DC.
Correct. A state legislature is far more likely to replace a hack with somebody competent than our current election system.
No but I was thinking that theoretically the state legislatures who appointed them represented what the people want more closely than the name-recognition exercises the Senate has devolved into.
Damn Rhy it’s the same voters that elect the state legislators (and local council people a la my L.A. link above) – why expect different results from them?
😄😅😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
*wheezing breath*
The legislatures would pick the hacks because they suit the party agenda.
The 17th was the final nail in the coffin.
This is (one reason) why I just can’t get worked up about who controls Congress.*
The Repubs don’t pass any laws that matter anyway, and don’t do anything to control spending. So what’s really at stake is the bullshit performative hearings that the majority party gets to stage.
Exhibit A: Ermagerd, if the Dems take House they may impeach Trump again! Who gives a fuck? He’s not going to be removed.
*At least with a Repub President. When the Dems control everything, we get bad appointments and bad laws like ObamaCare.
Not to be stupid nostalgic, but when Repubs controlled Congress and Clinton was president, things weren’t too bad.
The late 90’s were an aberration. We were enjoying a peace dividend after watching the Soviet Union crumble, China was just beginning to figure out how to not starve, and the economic engine called the internet launched a boom economy.
Those are not normal times. It wouldn’t have mattered if HW or Dole had won the presidency, the result would have been the same.
I was hoping they’d post a picture of Trump taking a knee.

I’d shut my gob on this matter if were you, Sir Keir, after many years of your Team setting up the exact conditions that practically guarantee said “cold rage” to erupt.
I saw some video of the protest, one of my favorite bits was a black Brit telling other rioters to get behind him, “’cause I’m black mate, they won’t touch me”. From what I’ve read, at least a healthy portion of the Sikh community has been condemning the murder family.
I’d condemn that punk bitch coward too.
I saw something posted by a Farage account and, apparently, one of the papers that has been attacking him used a quote during the George Floyd protests along the lines of “we need the cold rage which fought racism” to encourage protests.
The most offensive part is mistaking a Sikh for some kind of Muslim (and therefore deserving of the kid glove treatment initially). Do note that the Sikh was actually convicted and sentenced to 18 years IIRC. The only way to get a harsher sentence is to post some offensive content on X or Facebook.
Seems my empty nest won’t remain empty for long. My youngest is in the process of settling in on the East coast, and her husband texted her (!) that he wants a divorce. They don’t have a lot of property but the whole thing is already a tangled mess. He gets back from deployment in a month or so and they’ll finalize everything then. These kids, I swear.
Yuck… Best of luck. Fortunately no children and not much in the way of assets.
Sorry to hear that.
My condolences.
I got my first tablet back in 2017 since I was going to be stuck in a hotel in Framingham MA for a weekend at my niece’s wedding. Four months later she and her first husband got an annulment. I still have the tablet.
I have more than once found a matchbook in my suit jacket from a wedding in which the couple had since divorced. It is unfortunately a common thing these days. Being married 27 years like I have is getting rare.
Said niece now has a son from her second marriage.
My sister’s first marriage only lasted three years. Her second is something like 24 years now.
My other sister will be celebrating her 38th anniversary on Fourscore’s birthday.
I made it to 23. But yeah, I concur…
My son was 34 when he decided he was old enough. Among other gifts we gave the loving couple was a clock with both names carved on it. The battery lasted longer than the marriage.
He hasn’t made the same mistake. OTOH my daughter just suited up for her third trip to the plate. At least she’s experienced.
Didn’t they get married recently?
Sorry for the bad news man, hope things work out.
They just had their second anniversary. The judge who married them is also a JAG, and a friend of a family member, so we got his advice. In Virginia the process is complicated and involves waiting for someone to be a resident for a certain time period, and a 6 month separation. They can file in Indiana and it will be done in 60 days. So it’s just waiting for him to get back, and hoping he doesn’t do something stupid with their finances until then.
and here I though a text was bad manners for a breakup after a short fling… bad stuff…
I will avoid my standard joke
Is that the one that just got married to a sailor?
Yep. And I will no longer have a son-in-law on an aircraft carrier, which in itself is also sad.
That sucks, but better now than in 10 years with kids involved.
Your kid is still young enough to start again fairly easily.
Good luck to you and her.

United Airlines flight was 19 feet above highway when it struck a pole as it was landing at Newark last month, NTSB says

Humans make mistakes. We all got lucky. Anybody know how they will try to rehabilitate the pilot?
Is that the same one they said hit the baker’s truck?
Or was that a separate incident?
Apparently the broken pole hit a truck here.
That’s the one. Airplane hit the pole. Pole hit the truck.
There will be a number of factors, Not the normal runway for EWR 767 traffic ,. I see them all day over my office going to Runway 22 on a south flow. Runway 29 is 6700′ long rather than 10000+ for the other ones. The PAPI lights are on the right side of the runway (in a busy ground area) not on the left which is standard.
So, shorter runway, you try to land earlier. Landing distance does not change for shorter runways google says normal distance is 4900’… you are supposed to target the 1000′ marker, the listed distance takes that first 1000′ into the equation.
That 1000′ marker is where you want the rear wheels to land, not where the cockpit is located.
So 1600′ of runway margin, gusty, the FO tried to add extra cushion., went for the numbers or wasn’t watching the PAPI.. it would be interesting to see if how many lights low you need to be to clip that light. I would expect all 4 red lights…
Now I will go for the numbers, but my plane is just 27′ long.
My home sits under flight paths for EWR. I’m listening to one as I type this.
Any thoughts on what they will do with the pilot?
Depends on which demographic boxes the pilot checks.
Unless there was some long history of issues, they will send him for simulator re-certification and move on. Perhaps also have a few legs with the United check airman.
I’m sure the flight data recorders were pulled, and we will find out exactly how off the proper flight path they were.
With the newer stabilized approach criteria, you are supposed to waive off any approach that isn’t stabilized by 500′, so we will see if the pilots were trying to save a unstabilized approach, or if things just went to the outside of the envelope and well, it happened.

Since 1970, productivity across most of the American economy has roughly doubled. In construction, it has fallen by around 40%. A new VoxEU column by Dongkeun Choi and Munseob Lee unpacks why.

surprisingly, government regulation has a lot to do with this.
It’s always government that holds things up or makes them bad.. ALWAYS
You literally cannot build a thing in Blue areas without submitting to reams of regulations that demand favoritism for the poors or the wetlands or the butterflies that might live there or the unions that control the construction.
Yay for intersectionality!
According to the Department of Transportation, it’s no longer intersectionality, but roundaboutality.
“And on that same day, health officials and infectious disease experts were quietly gathering signatures on an “Open Letter Advocating for an Anti-Racist Public Health Response to Demonstrations Against Systemic Injustice Occurring During the COVID-19 Pandemic,” imploring Americans to ignore the lockdown orders — in order to join the George Floyd demonstrations.
On June 5, when CNN published that letter, it bore the names and carried the imprimatur of more than 1,200 medical professionals.
“White supremacy is a lethal public health issue that predates and contributes to COVID-19,” they lectured us.
That’s why, “as public health advocates, we do not condemn these gatherings” — read: violent protests — “as risky for COVID-19 transmission. We support them as vital to the national public health and to the threatened health specifically of Black people in the United States.””

There wasn’t a precise day, but the next big event was people realizing the vax did nothing. I saw many FB posts similar to “I got the vax and all the boosters, but now I have COVID again and it’s much worse than the first time I got it. These shots don’t do anything.”
And now these same “elites” are blaming public mistrust on Trump or social media posts.
So much wicked stupidity that year and yeah that was among the worst – I had more or less forgotten that one.
Here is another one that I definitely won’t forget. It covers all the bases.
They look like a gay Wakandan chess set.
“Staffers at 60 Minutes are scared-stiff over reports suggesting podcaster Joe Rogan could be next in line to replace recently lost correspondent Anderson Cooper.
A March report from RadarOnline appears to be the source of the rumor. The story was picked up by The Austin American-Statesman on Wednesday.
Scott Pelley, another former 60 Minutes correspondent, was fired from the newsmagazine the day before, making it all the more believable.”
https://www.dailymail.com/media/article-15874957/60-minutes-joe-rogan-cbs-host-joining-correspondent.html
They should get Alex Jones.
Joe Rogan has complete freedom and tons of money. I would question the wisdom of any offer big enough to buy him into such an organization.
And would his podcast audience follow him to TV?
Pelley made the mistake of believing that he was irreplaceable, when in fact his qualifications (pleasant-looking, can read a teleprompter well) can be met by millions of people. There are few people more replaceable than news “anchors” (I think it was the Brits who had a better term for them – news “readers”).
The left hates anyone or anything that would expose them as nothing but lying partisan hacks. That 60 minutes shitshow is no exception. I doubt Rogan is stupid enough to take a pay cut and join that shitshow, cause all it would do is ruing his reputation by association. At this point 60 minutes should just be canceled.
The skin-suiters hate a reverse skin-suiting!

No worries, they’re well on their way to clawing it back.

“He had what she described as a “warrior ethos” and would fantasize about killing people he deemed a threat, she said. She said he told her that r*pe was about power.
It was something that stuck with her through the years, Ms. Fifield said.
“He said this a lot: If anybody ever broke in here, I would r*pe them,” she recalled, saying that he added that it would not be in “a sexual way, not in a gay way.”
“He was like, I would r*pe them to show them that I’m dominant,” she said.”

‘Best’ as applied to Democratic politicians just means, ‘able to defeat the evil MAGAts…’

Former Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Xavier Becerra (D) on Thursday advanced to November’s general election in the race to become California’s next governor, according to Decision Desk HQ.
Trump-backed Fox News commentator Steve Hilton (R) and billionaire Tom Steyer (D) are currently battling for the second spot in November’s general election, when Golden State voters will decide on Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D) successor.
Becerra holds 26.03 percent of the vote as of late Thursday night, while Hilton has won 27.18 percent of the vote and Steyer is in third place with 20.18 percent of the vote.
Am I missing something? Hilton has more votes, but Becerra is the one who’s locked in?
No one should be expecting more Republican votes to be counted.
Not sure how it being “expected” leads to him being locked in.
I was trying to figure it out.
And then I thought “Forget it Ron, it’s California”.
They need to finish
