Srsly, can you walk and chew gum at the same time? Can you actually show up when you’re supposed to work and follow elementary school level directions? If so, I have a job for you in the Gulch. I’ll even put you in a room at my place.
But I digress, we must Link!
I’m gonna miss this guy when he’s gone.
Ohio racists are the worst kind of racists.
Lucy hasn’t pulled the football yet.
John Cornyn admits he’s the whiny little bitch we all knew him to be.
Greater Idaho will never happen. The West side of the state won’t have anywhere to buy weed.
Okay, I can’t take anymore derp. It’s getting bad. Peace out, Glibbies.
I did not know Platner called himself a communist. Probably the most honest statement he’s ever made so of course he deleted it.
Maybe he’s finally heard of that fine old tradition of throwing communists out of helicopters.
Find someone to buy my welding business out and Iβm in.
No.
I don’t like Vivek, but I’ll walk over hot coals to vote against Acton.
Definitely with you there. π€π€ (or whatever the kids are doing these days.)
His views seem OK unless I misremember but his personality is extremely off-putting.
Voting against whatever commie the Dems are putting up at any given election is the only thing that motivates me to vote anymore.
Here in Berkeley East that means usually I can’t vote local because all the candidates are commies but at the state level there is usually some sort of opposition.
Sounds like a trap and a good way to lose your kidneys.
You’re just jealous that the utopia they are creating there will pass you by.
Back from the grocery store. I think today must be “special people” day.
Parked next to a Honda Ridgeline. So cute. The bed must be a good 42″ or so. But it has four doors.
Fairly handy. Neighbors have an older one but Iβve never looked at it closely.
Itβs a car with a bed.
Like my Brats.
But plastic.
It’s built on the same architecture as the Pilot and my wife’s MDX.
It’s a transverse motor and unibody, but beefed up. Would I run a landscaping business with one or tow a huge boat? – No. Would I cheerfully go the home center several weekends a month and load the rated 1,500lbs in the bed? Absolutely.
It’s got an independent rear suspension so it rides much better than a body on frame truck with leaf springs. Bonus is the unibody gives you much more interior room – so the cabin is quite spacious for it size.
We love ours.
βLike if you canβt really defend him, you could at least say, well, he has a βDβ after his name, but heβs not even a Democrat,β he continued. βHe actually described himself as a communist.β
I wonder what he’d say if he caught you helping yourself to “his” oysters.
“That’s different.”
The story about the oyster farm sums up the guys whole persona. It was registered in 2024, a year after his campaign website went live. His mother bought it and is his only customer. It’s located on an island owned by his business partner’s parents, and it generates less than $5k in annual income.
And Fetterlump is the only Democrat who will call out what a complete fraud in every way he is.
The “pretend” business owner is a major Dem trend – we have had several major candidates in Iowa who claimed to own businesses but with further investigation they were set-up by the party machine. Starting to see the same with Dem “farmer” candidates…
I repeat my prediction: Fetterman’s pushing for ’28, first ‘showing’ himself as a sane Democrat to tone down the radical (actual, True Blue) Left. This seems like an easy one for him to appear sane. He’ll feel the breeze and we’ll see what /if /how soon anything comes a’blowin’.
Insert scare quotes around about every word at the beginning. Stopped cuz I saw there’d be too many.
@Spud: THANKS! I didn’t know that. WOW. That’s gorgeous. Buying the branding. And better to use against Dems and their political friends who supported Platner. Further reveals it was all about the Senate vote. Not a goddamn thing else mattered. Rub that shit all up in their faces. Fetterman is, and is AFAIK, kinda alone.
Hence my ’28 prediction.

I hope you’re right. I want to tell the D’s that I know that like Trump, he makes a better Republican than actual Republicans. The tears will be epic.
Not a chance. There is no future for his brand of politics – not when his Party is lurching toward communism.
there is more (longer flat floor) cargo space in the back of my 35 year old Civic wagon with the rear seats folded down than there is in the bed of that Ridgeline.
It fits a 4×8 sheet of plywood with the tail down. Bed is 5 feet long with tailgate up and 7 feet with it down. Between the wheel wells is 50 inches.
It’s party trick is the tailgate can either be pulled down or swung out (like a Jeep) for easier bed access.
My Roadmaster wagon does all that and looks horrendous doing it.
Also the “in bed trunk” is quite large, waterproof and very useful.

Dammit. That was much less exciting than I expected. I was thinking something Me-Sized, lengthwise. (Yeah. Kinda like a mattress in the normal bed of an average truck. But, ya know. Way more fun. *kicks tire*)
Seriously, that’s cleverly designed and’d be nice if ya needed it. *gently pats tire*
Bonus – because Hond completely fucked up its EV transition it doesn’t have a the ability to sell Ridgelines in CA and has to pause production for 2027.
https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a71409652/honda-ridgeline-production-pause-report/
They had some emissions settlement with the state that they can’t the current V6 to comply with. It would appear that without the CA market they can’t sell enough units to make it economic. Meanwhile Stellantis can shove a V8 in their trucks that get half the MPG.
CA again saves the planet!
Iβd work in the gulch, except itβs in NY, which means itβs a hard no.
Gnawing his own foot off to get out of the trap
When asked how his former girlfriend could have been discussing the meaning of his tattoo before he announced for Senate, Platner just continued to deny any such knowledge. Then another former girlfriend came forward to say that he is lying and knew the symbolβs significance. She had been attracted to Platner for his leftist politics, but she still shared Platnerβs reasoning behind the tattoo: He told her that he had decided to keep it to remind himself βthe U.S. was the evil bad guy overseas.β
Well, okay then. That clears everything right up.
I mean, who wouldn’t be?!
A Beatles song? You’re really trolling the Old Man, aren’t you?
A Beatles cover. I couldn’t bring myself to post the original version.
The orange-haired themby is a nice touch.
it generates less than $5k in annual income.
But he pays a higher marginal tax rate than Elon Musk.
Yeah, I’m sure it’s that “income/wealth gap” that’s at the forefront of every secessionist’s mind. π
Imagine the sharing when we are all equally poor.
Apparently there are European soccer fans heretofore ignorant of America, Land of Plenty.
Stories on the google nooz about visitors agog over Buc-cees and Walmart and Waffle House. I thought that ended when the Wall got torn down.
In the ’70s the Eastern bloc skaters in town for a World Figureskating Championship all wanted to go to Kmart and marvel at the astonishing things available to the lowliest Americanski victim of KKKapitalisms.
If you don’t travel and believe the press, the US is a violent hell hole, with the gestapo standing on every street corner. Not “howdy, neighbor. Ever try Buc-ees nuts?”.
The MSM is aghast and fighting back hard on how terrible the US is while vistors are enjoying it.
Its quite amazing
It was the same shit when LA hosted the Olympics in 1984, and probably when the US hosted the World Cup in 1994 but I wasn’t paying any attention that year.
The MSM aren’t known for originality.
Beatles, you say
New kayak and paddle board taken out today for a day on the lake.
People still wonder why I would ever move here while I sipped on a beer in the lake not worrying about a damn thing
Great! I trust you had perfect weather!
It was absolutely gorgeous. Went to East Fork just east of Cincinnati.
Drinking beer in a boat here would cost you some extra cash, same as a motor vehicle.
Unpowered?
Of course I havenβt checked NJ law in decadesβ¦. Who knows now.
Last I knew you needed to be powered and over the DWI limit.
Sort of the same in MN but with some caveats. Fish with your attorney.
Did you guys hear Elon is a trillionaire now? Yea. People are freaking the fuck out. Apparently he could solve world hunger and make sure there were no homeless people with all that moneys.
Forget that it’s mostly on paper. Forget that the governments of the world spend exponentially more than that each year ($40-45 trillion) with dick to show for it. Nah, it’s on Musk and all these super wealthy people to solve everything.
My favorite are the clowns telling us all what they’d do if they had that money.
He could give everyone in the world a million dollars! /probably, most likely, a post out there not done ironically.
Oh it’s out there. I’ve seen it.
Saw someone say that the UN claimed it only needed $6.6 billion a day to feed everyone starving! That guy obviously didn’t think to see just how long Musk could sustain that with all of his wealth devoted to it. Or think about what happens when the money is gone and people are hungry again.
I used to think that charity might earn one a get-out-of-jail-free card until the communist mayor of NYC started one of his grinning social media stunts in front of the home of a billionaire who has donated hundreds of millions of dollars to a hospital that I am rather familiar with.
TL;DR the left are sick, evil fucks
My favorite are the clowns telling us all what theyβd do if they had that money.
None of whom have the ability to build a business worth even just a million dollars, I’d wager.
Not all Richmond residents who expressed concern about Chevron’s future were completely against the city working to hold the company accountable. Richmond resident Stephen London said pollution concerns are common in the area and praised city leaders for extracting concessions from Chevron.
“The city’s on an upswing and, you know, we got a lot of money out of Chevron for their pollution. I think they get some of the credit for that from what I understand,” London said.
However, London acknowledged that there were risks if the accountability push were to go too far.
“You don’t really want to kill the golden goose, you just want to squeeze a bunch of eggs out of them,” he later said.
A surprising amount of honesty from a proglodyte.
There is a fund in the Bay Area to compensate for respiratory issues if thereβs a release from a refinery. Every time it happens, thereβs a line out the door at the local ERs.

Richmond is indeed a shithole, but Point Richmond which is it’s own separate town is pretty cool.
About 35-40 years ago I worked in Berkeley for a few weeks. No one seemed to want to go to Richmond for dinner, etc.
I avoided Richmond, based on what the locals were telling me.
When I lived in SF it was “avoid the East Bay” completely. I had friends in Oakland otherwise I would never have crossed the bay.
They like to shoot each other there.
Fuck, I worked in the Deep East all the time. Not so bad, same with Richmond. They got to know you, and you got to know them.
On the other hand, when I was in pharma, we told every driver to not stop at lights in the early AM. Don’t want to get ram raided.
Yeah, the Point is pretty cool. Lotβs of fucking stairs though.
Richmond on the hill side of the freeway isn’t too bad either. A lot of nice homes, much like the Oakland Hills.
Slate never fails to get even dumber.
Millennials Like Me Were Sold a Fantasy About Weed. Now Researchers Have a Warning.
No idea.
I haven’t smoked pot in a decade or more and even then it was WAY more potent than what I remembered from college and honestly not very pleasant. Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
Wasted once at a tool concert via contact high.
Not pleasant.
Makes me angry.
Weed/THC makes me more paranoid than coke, no time for it.
*furrows brow as Evan leaves to get pizza*
I don’t get it. Well. I do. But. When it’s good and powerful, ya just don’t smoke as much. Ya don’t have to finish the damn bowl or joint. *refurrows w intensity*
Ya smoke less if ya wanna. Ya get to control the dose ya want to achieve. I only vape, now. I’m sorry ya had a bad experience, with all honestly. Best drug advice *ever* given to me: “Set and setting.” Mind that, and you’re good to go. (Onward, pizza.)
I would do it again at a party or something – as very few and far between those are now – but daily? Oh, hell no. Not unless the “pain relief” benefits people claim are real. I don’t have the need for that, yet.
They really arent wrong given the acceptably of weed and how that industry lobbied for it.
Maybe weed from 1980/90s…
Oh come on…you cannot be that retarded to know your body is gonna crave more to meet that first high right?
So ya, sucking that weed pen daily is gonna fuck you up….
Drinkers are the tortoise in this, slow and steady wins the race.
The author needed to take some responsibility for researching daily consumption of large amounts.
There isnβt much that is good for you if done in excess.
Abstinence in moderation as a buddy of mine says.
Iffy of mine accepted candy from a woman on his flight the other dayβ¦.
Pretty funny. He said heβd smoked once and again over the years but never expected to be as high as he was.
Is that your ass? Here, let me blow some weed smoke up it.
My above comment also goes here.
As with all overuse and the consequences therein, it’s the same as alcohol, nicotine, heroin, etc etc. *People* are the problem. What they do to themselves. And others.
The quasi-legality maddens me. Theoretically, a person theoretically like me could theoretically get in trouble. Maybe twice a year? The taxes being raised to mirror former street prices, especially. (That’s gotten better in MO. Still. They still want their cut and that stick to wield. If they need to.)
The biggest revelation at this World Cup so far is that apparently we don’t have to say “Gutter” instead of “Qatar” anymore. I wonder how that happened.
Are they saying pok-e-ston still or did that end with Obama?
I don’t think PokΓ©mon made it this time. Wait… what?
Another wokism that may be dying out is “Turkeyay”. They are present at the World Cup again and some commentators have reverted to “Turkey” while others are sticking with the ridiculous neologism.
Remember under Obama when reporters all changed the way they said Pakistan?
To pok e ston? Weird as hell.
I donβt think I e heard anyone say turkgay yet. But I dont watch the news.
The glibs hand feed me the news.
Yeah, I remember that.
Kind of like “Nicarrrrakhhhwa”. Because a half-assed approximation of the locals is “respect” rather than “insulting”. π
The nikkeraguaa thing happened at the same time.
I had forgotten about that part of it.
OTOH “man of the match” has turned into the ugly woke bastardization “superior player of the match”.
lolWTF – pretty sure none of the players I am watching are biofems.
If they insist on that then they need to go all in. Not Pairiss but Pahree. And the Germans don’t call their country Germany either.
This year can suck a fat dick.

I’m so sorry. Please pass along our sympathy to the Mrs.

Thanks all.
Sorry, OBE.
Sorry to hear that.
Re: Job offer. My counter offer – I’ll work 6am- 2pm 4 days a week (no breaks) for $1000 a week, plus a $3000 sign-on bonus to cover moving expenses and what not.
I should add I’d prefer my 4 days to by MT&TF but that’s negotiable.
Iβll offer on call F-M, mechanical aptitude and, CDL. Pay $45-80k plus perdiem.
Have you asked what the job os yet?
In his defense, I assumed he was just scamming the $3k.

Rip Gene Shalit.
100 is a fine run. I swear I haven’t heard his name since I was a child in the 70s.
I remember seeing him on ABC? in the late 90’s maybe?
Shalit has been Palined by me in that when I hear his name I recall him being portrayed on SNL’s “Eye On Chest Hair” rather than a real memory of him on TV.
From what I recall, Swiss would have narrowed his gaze at most of his reviews?

Well, that and I wouldn’t want my glibs account yanked by TPTB.
