Retarded Waitress: Our sparkling water, is it carbonated?
Retarded Waitress: The customer wants a hamburger but with the peppers on the side.
Me: The hamburgers don’t come with peppers. I think they likely said pickles.
Retarded Waitress: …I’m sure it was peppers.
Me: Go back and ask the customer.
Retarded Waitress: I think you should, they definitely wanted the peppers on the side.
Me: (sigh) (goes to customer) Just double checking. You wanted the pickles on the side?
Customer: Yes, we told the waitress that. Three times. She seemed to not understand what a pickle was.
Retarded Waitress: Customer wants a bottle of the Pinot Meunier (mispronounces, points to wine list entry). Where do I find it?
Me: Really? Interesting choice. This is the first person who ever ordered that. Well, I’ll grab one and serve it.
Retarded Waitress: (grumbles) I can do that. I have the opener ready.
Me: It’s an unusual choice, so let me handle it.
Me: (grabs bottle, presents it to customer) The Pinot Meunier?
Customer: I wanted the orange Gewurztraminer.
Me: Apologies, let me get that bottle for you. (tries to remember to keep the Retarded Waitress away from sharp objects)

Birthdays today are not quite as rich as yesterdays, but still, there’s a guy who knew better than Shakespeare; a guy who marked where our country decided to be a hereditary monarchy; Winston’s spirit animal; a guy whose example inspires police even today; a guy who proved that kids’ books could be really boring; a one-note actor with a gimmick; the star of my favorite John Waters movie; a guy whose name suits him; an athlete famed for his boyish good looks; and a singer whose work left me cold but whose looks gave me funny feelings in my bathing suit area.
Links do not give me a funny feeling in my bathing suit area.

I’ll confess that I have no idea what that is.
Twilight fan.
Fun fact: Yul Brenner, during his time playing The King of Siam on the West End, became a massive Liverpool F.C. fan.
He also was fastidiously clean, due to a severe aversion to wearing discretionary scents on his skin.
That’s right: Yul never wore cologne.
Okay, I don’t get that joke. BUT! That reminded me of a story.
In one of my books, a chapter title is, “Everything but Yul Brynner.” My publishing partner said, WTF. I explained. He said nobody’s going to know what that means. I said, “Watch.” So I posted on Twitter. “Name that reference: ‘Everything but Yul Brynner.'” and RIP my inbox. He said, “Oh. Okay. Um. Hm.”
Aha! Your publishing partner was playing checkers while you were playing Chess.
Quite a few years back I was on a forum for the board game Go, and somebody posted the announcement that the following year’s World Amateur Go Championship would be held in Bangkok.
I immediately responded, “The crème de la crème of the go world in a show with everything but Yul Brynner.” I was amazed how many of the people (these weren’t Asians since this was an English-language forum) didn’t get the reference.
I’m not sure if should be proud or ashamed of my apparent cultural deficiencies, but I ‘get’ neither reference.
Think the musical, “Carousel”.

“However, the New York Times cited experts saying that a president cannot leave instructions for military action after his death.”
That makes me think he can.
He can leave whatever instructions he wants. Whether the next president follows them is something entirely different.
So every order given by a President is cancelled the minute he dies?
Did the military know this in WWII?
I think if I were the officer in charge of this, I’d go ahead and push the button if Iran killed the President, and trust that the order covered me.
Wait, you *don’t* offer hot peppers for your food?

So every time Blackstone nears its 350th home purchased, they spin off another wholly-owned subsidiary to “own” the property.
Of course, those companies and REITs bought residential property as a hedge against post-COVID inflation, and now that inflation is slowly tracking down towards historic norms, the companies are selling off.
So Congress spent a lot of time and effort solving a non-existent problem that was already sorting itself out in the market. Good job, Congress!
Relevant
Good lord man, do you want Congress working on REAL problems? That’s how you get catastrophes.
Sometimes one wishes they were 535 Mitch McConnells.
It would require a major departure from current financial and business regulation (not to mention accounting practices) to not count homes owned by a wholly owned subsidiary. Or even a controlled affiliate.
I’m not saying it wouldn’t be done. I’m just saying it would be extraordinarily unusual.
Don’t know about “extraordinary.” Around here, every developer forms a new corporation for every development started. Apparently it helps protect against lawsuits that could bring down the whole larger enterprise. One developer I used to know in the Chamber had a dozen corporations where he controlled the majority interest and various doctors, business friends, banking buddies, etc. owned various slices of the minority. There was some percentage of ownership diversity that kept adversarial lawyers from “piercing the corporate veil” in case of legal issues.
That’s when lawyers earn their keep by finding some structure where the company complies with the control language while still getting the benefit of the subsidiary.
For liability, spinning up new subs for new initiatives is usually a good plan.
For regulatory compliance, there’s no hedge between the companies. It usually follows the control. I deal with it quite a bit in Europe because they’re getting rather xenophobic over there and are highly skeptical of paying European subsidiaries of US companies grants to do research.
The proper regulation is to prevent any corporate entity from owning so much as ONE residential property – punishable by death for the corporate officers and investors. Residences must be owned by real persons.
One benefit is that it’ll solve the homeless problem. Of course, the formerly homeless guy won’t be allowed to live in his home because Blackrock put some tenants in there and is paying him hush money.
“Attempts to avoid the spirit of the law are punishable by torture of the lawyers and whoever paid them to do so.”
Kill enough lawyers and moneymen and they start to avoid the area.
So you have gone full commie, Kill the Landlords?
No, Jar, you just have to put your own name on the property you rent.
And under what bizarre theory is the business of landlording to be deprived of the organizational, liability, and tax benefits every other business is allowed to use by forming entities? Is it the same ‘rich people be hoarding our homes’ nonsense?
Who gives a crap about rich people?
I want to keep out the foreigners away.
Oh, and thse garbage tax and liability benefits need to go for other businesses. Higher personal liability for the people who make the decision, lower tax for the individuals who didn’t file to be a fictional legal entity.
I’d criticize that reason as having literally no connection to the proposal you offer it to justify, but I guess that is par for Government programs to address an issue. Are you hypothesizing a preliminary ban on foreign nationals buying property? Cause I think you need that first step, and even then there are easier ways to close the loophole than a ban on native born citizens forming LLCs.
That clause is stalled in committee.
Ok, fair enough. Enjoy your new vastly lower standard of living in the new village level economy world you just created. Nobody is building a large business, investing in any business they don’t personally control, or doing business outside their chosen jurisdiction (which will in no cases include New York) if they have open ended personal liability.
Personal liability is not anathema to business. They can operate just fine without an enviroment of “And nothing else happened”

Portland resident Zoee Shearer, 28, told The Oregonian/OregonLive that she had stepped one foot out of a car she had been riding in when she saw the man, 31-year-old Ayman Elkholy of Beaverton, make a beeline toward her.
I wonder why the paper didn’t say “Ayman Elkholy, originally from Alexandria, Egypt”? Alas, I think we all know why.
A member of the religion of piece.
No mention of “Defund The Police” either.
Came to raise that point.
That is by design, police spokesperson Mike Benner.
“Shearer, who agreed to be named in this story, said she is a model and was wearing an ornate bra top and a tutu skirt that exposed her midriff for a photo shoot at the park that day.”

Here in Missouri a guy running for Congress keeps touting himself as a “MAGA conservative” who will stick with the Trump agenda.
All I can think to myself is: By all objective measures Trump’s presidency is to the left of Clinton’s both fiscally and socially…The Overton Window has shifted so far to the left that Republicans have deluded themselves into believing that Trump is a conservative…then again, Republicans are retarded.
Does his version of the Trump agenda include starting foreign wars at the behest of another country’s government?

If I had any faith in my existing bathroom scale’s accuracy, I’d be celebrating having hit 280. The new scale says I’m just below 284.
😕
Take every win. I am rooting for you!
It feels like I gained weight even though I know I just changed the measurement device.
Consistent timing is important, based on my own personal experience
?
I’d step on and off my old scale and in three tests get two different readings. I’d take the value I got twice.
The new scale at least gives me the same value.
If you’re off on a tangent about what time of day I take the reading, it’s always been first thing after I wake up. Always.
I thought he changed the subject to fapping.
Yes, time of day.
Anyone else ever experienced weighing more when rising than when you went to bed? {And, no, no calories consumed in the interval.}
No. Unless you are eating or drinking, you simply can’t gain weight while sleeping. You’re constantly sweating, exhaling carbon, and so forth. You need a source for added mass for that number to go up – are you on an IV putting liters of fluid in?
What’s two Ks between friends?
More than the differential between the scales. It was only 3.7 pounds, not 4.4
“The number of kids pulling the trigger in shootings in the city has skyrocketed 133% in the nine-year span since a lefty Albany law gave young offenders carte blanche to run amok, NYPD data obtained by The Post show….
The controversial law, called Raise the Age, signed by then-Gov. Andrew Cuomo in 2017 and later backed by Gov. Kathy Hochul, bumped up the age of criminal responsibility from 16 to 18, and allowed suspects as old as 21 to be housed in juvenile detention facilities rather than in adult jails.”
https://nypost.com/2026/07/11/us-news/young-guns-on-the-rise-in-nyc/
Except they aren’t being held in juvenile detention centers, and no one can track them since they won’t release their names.
Lower the age of criminal responsibility to 7.
And euthenize the political class for the good of the society.
Should be 15 for Latinas, and 13 for Jews.
Ok, this proposal I can support.

Totally not an expected result of the radical left’s pro-criminal policies.

Shocking revelation
The Trump administration hit four New York Times journalists with subpoenas on Friday, after the outlet published a story outlining risks involving President Trump’s Qatar-gifted Air Force One plane that recently entered into service.
The Times reported that the refurbished jet lacked some of the advanced security measures of the older aircraft used to transport the president.
The reporters include Julian E. Barnes, Eric Lipton, Tyler Pager and Eric Schmitt. They also wrote earlier this week that a security precaution forced Trump to depart to the NATO summit in Turkey on the old Air Force One, were called to testify next week before a federal grand jury in Manhattan “in regard to an alleged violation of federal criminal law.” The switch-up also raised red flags around potential threats against the president from Iran after the U.S. launched fresh strikes on the Islamic Republic earlier this week.
The outlet noted that before publication, a senior FBI official contacted it requesting to halt the article for national security reasons but declined to provide details. The subpoenas were reportedly delivered to the journalists at their homes by federal agents.
The Times condemned the move, calling it an act of intimidation and an attack on press freedom.
The NYT is providing classified national security info to the Iranians. The red paint makes it easier to see in the air, too.

“We’ve long said that when the government claims it needs to investigate journalists to protect national security, it really means its own reputational security,” FPF advocacy chief Seth Stern said in a statement.
“The administration’s embarrassment that it reportedly charged taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars to retrofit a flying bribe that still isn’t secure enough for hostile times does not supersede the need for a free and independent press,” Stern added.

A reported new threat by Iran to assassinate President Trump served as a reminder this week of the risk that the hard-line Tehran regime poses to him, especially as a tenuous ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran breaks down and hostilities have resumed.
——-
Sabrina Singh, a former Pentagon deputy press secretary under the Biden administration, called the threat credible.
“You have to take a threat like that seriously, and they did,” Singh said. “We have a good relationship with Israel when it comes to the sharing of intelligence, so it’s a good thing this was shared with the U.S.”
Tom Warrick, senior fellow at the Atlantic Council, agreed the administration should take the threats seriously.
Experts agree.
All presidents are under constant threat of assassination. *shrug*

The planned demonstration of force was timed to bring a fringe group of extremists into public view as the nation marked 250 years of its independence. Indeed, the stunt succeeded in earning the group media coverage across mainstream outlets, amplifying its brand and potential to reach new recruits. On this occasion, the members refrained from engaging in violence and property damage, projecting an image of law-abiding, orderly activism.
But those who are closely familiar with Patriot Front’s history and operations warn: Don’t believe what you see.
“That is not who they are in private,” said Len Kamdang, director of the Criminal Justice Project at the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. “Although they were on their best behavior [last] weekend, this is a dangerous group that commits acts of violence all over the country.”
Scary campfire story monsters are coming to get you.
In 2020, Kristofer Goldsmith said that a fellow veteran invited him to partner up on infiltrating Patriot Front. Goldsmith, who later established the Task Force Butler Institute to recruit Army veterans to counter fascist groups through open source online research, was not closely familiar with the group at the time.
“Frankly, when my friend used the term ‘neo-Nazi,’ I thought he was using hyperbole,” Goldsmith said. “It wasn’t until I saw them doing things like debating the merits of national socialism versus fascism versus monarchy that I truly understood that neo-Nazi was not hyperbole, that these people actually praise Hitler. … These people have dedicated their lives to promoting white nationalist, fascist and genocidal ideology.”
Arrest those people.
