Anniversary? Yeah, two local breweries are celebrating their anniversaries this weekend. Great Lakes is 38 years old, and Saucy is 9. What, there was some other type of anniversary you thought I would be mentioning? But you care not for that, but for the links.
Yeah, use his name to pass a bill that has not one gods damned thing to do with his death.
I expect this movie to beat Supergirl in the box office.
This seems like a dev issue to me.
I don’t have a problem with this.
I believe this will be of interest to at least some of the beer geeks here.
Because we need to update this with CGI? Or would it be called a live action remake with CGI?
Breaking news… you can buy things on the internet!
I’m not sure being asked to leave an event as an audience member is a first amendment violation.
The surest proof that time travel is never invented is that this is moving forward.
Pretty sure I’ve seen how this story ends.
“We have our own machines you idiots!“
For the weekend, let’s keep going with summer drinks, and lean into something from the Substack as well:
Cherry Bomb
- 3 parts (1.5 oz) cachaca (sub white rum if you don’t have any)
- 2 parts (1 oz) cherry liqueur (Heering would be a better choice than Maraschino here) or cherry syrup from brandied cherries (or a mix)
- 1 part (0.5 oz) lime juice
- Club soda to top
Start by getting a highball glass chilled. While that’s chilling, put the ingredients (other than the club soda) into a shaker with ice, and shake to combine. Strain that into the highball glass over fresh ice, top with club soda, and give a brief stir to combine. Garnish it with a lime wheel and brandied cherry.
With that, I leave you to your weekend, and hope you get what you want out of it.
Dude, you know the return window is two hours. You release a super short game and expect people to not want their money back?
But it’s NOT FAIR.
And? Cheating needs to be punshed with painful death, regardless of which Team you cheat for.
Poor UCS, cheating is only bad when the other guys do it. Both sides agree with that. Anyone else is little people, and they don’t matter.
Question for Glibs who pay more attention to the outside: how woke is Awesome Con?
I see they have a “Pride Alley” which makes me worry that they’re tru beleebers.
Context – My Dad and I are in the brainstorming phase of planning a road trip around April of next year, and he floated the event as a possible stop because he’s as much of a Nerd as I am. He’s more politically aligned with you lot than I am, but not too attuned to the sorts of problems overly ideological event organizers inflict on people who just want to be left alone.
I haven’t attended AwesomeCon in probably ten years, but it didn’t strike me as unusually woke when I did.
A lot can change in a decade.
Pride panels and events all weekend long!!
I learned today it is actually disabilty pride month. Those fuckers found a way to hijack two months.
I’m a gimp.
I just dont wear a gimp suit
Disabled queers or just disabled in general?
Verdict: Queer
I know I am getting old when we sat down and watched Sheep Detectives and thought…this is a cute, feel good, no woke BS, movie.
I just started watching this, until my younger son suddenly decided he needed to go outside
Look…we can’t go after Airsoft…but those cheep, guady looking ‘gun’ lighters….in his name we praise!
Not policing reform, but something to punish the people. That is modern day Amercian governance
How dare the plebs appear to be armed! It’s almost as bad as them actually being armed!
“Council passes Tamir Rice Act, banning gun-shaped lighters”
Who amongst us didn’t play “Cops and Robbers”, “Cowboys and Indians”, maybe with toy guns, sticks or even our fingers?
Practice getting hit and make a dramatic collapse. It was part of being a kid. I don’t know what’s on kids’ TV now or kid movies, if there is such a thing.
OTOH, I’m guessing there are video games that are hard hitting delinquency oriented that’ll make your teenager drift into bank robbery/armored car hold ups.
Nice guess and prettt spot on. Almost like our elders are smart or something.
All our Dads were in WWII so we annihilated Nazis and Japs. Sure, you’d get “hit” but a medic would “fix you up” in seconds and you’d be back in combat. The seriousness of war didn’t creep in until one day Mr. Dando showed us x-rays of the metal plate in his skull where docs saved him from shrapnel. He said something to the effect that “I hope none of you boys ever find yourself in a foxhole and an 88 lands in the foxhole next to you and your two buddies just disappear.”
^^^ Why my kids were required to watch Band of Brothers…
^^^ Why my kids were required to watch Band of Brothers…
I watched “Band of Brothers” with my grandfather who was in the 101st Airborne during the war (including time at Bastogne). I don’t remember how old I was. I was sometime between when I moved to New England and when my grandparents moved to a home.
My grandfather had recorded the series on VHS tapes. He insisted, since I had just arrived after driving from New England, on my sitting down while he fed the tapes into the VHS.
OK. Whatever you want.
He, by mistake, started us with the tape with the last episodes. He was about to get up to fix his mistake. I told him, “Grandpop, we’re sitting here talking. We know how the story turns out. Leave it alone.” He smiled and laughed, then said, “Yeah, you’re right.” He sat down.
We watched it out of order. It covered ugly stuff, but it was still good to watch it with him.
The developer knows Steam’s policy. Probably even has a signed TOS….
What a dumbass.
But Steam has a big pile of money!
This is someone trying to get that pile. There are other avenues to get your game out there.
From the Neuromancer article:
You know, if you’re gonna write an article about a book, it’d be nice if you got the basic fucking facts right. It’s the Sprawl trilogy, not the Stream trilogy, moron.
This casting is not filling me with hope. Allow me to make some predictions:
Briana Middleton as Molly – fucking no. Leaving the race swapping aside, she doesn’t even have close to the physicality that Molly requires.
Mark Strong as Armitage – meh.
Clémence Poésy as 3Jane – actually not bad. She can do the crazy look pretty well.
Peter Sarsgaard as John Ashpool- way too much actor for what is essentially a bit part.
Dane DeHaan as Rivera – not unless they take an airbrush to his face.
Most importantly, who’s playing the Finn?
Ellen Page.
You jest, but with the right makeup that could maybe work. I always envisioned the Finn as being a scrawny little fuck.
I just skimmed IMDB, and didn’t see an actor entry for the Finn, Marcus, Hiro, Linda Lee, Ratz, or several other major characters. My sense of impending doom is increasing.
I couldn’t remember the name of the obnoxious bald woman from Wicked.
I’m trying to think of who I’d cast as Molly. She would need to be Caucasian, preferably dark-haired, no older than thirty, and extremely physical, ideally with a serious martial arts background. Someone like Gina Carano, Katheryn Winnick, or Ronda Rousey, but they’re all way too old.
Hollywood Says Whoopi Goldberg.
Are you trying to hurt my feelings?
No, I’m poking fun at Hollywood casting algorithms.
The girl who played Bobbie in Expanse…she is smokin hawt and thiiiick.
Too thicc for Molly, though. ISTR she was described as tall, lean and fast.
McGonigle, 37, is the self-described Vance troll behind the @catsonacouch account. The “petty cat account” has almost 2 million followers and “exists purr-ly to troll the current administration & have more followers than J.D. Vance,” according to its Instagram.
So precious.
So brave, so awesome…i swoon
Tilly NorWOULD, amirite?
The first actress to win an Oscar and an AVN Award in the same year.
Huh, woulda thought that was Catherine Bell
Traci Lords ?
John Calvin was born on this date in 1509.
He was quite the influential theologian, but that was his lot in life.
Just think of the shit you could get away with if everyone believed there was no free will.
I propose the Barney Fife Act.
“Barney, you only get one bullet.” – Andy
Free Willy – so storytime with kindergarten aged kids recast in modern times?
That’s “Free Willy 2: Free Female Penis”.
McGonigle’s suit notes she will try to attend more of Vance’s public events in the coming weeks and “express her views as an audience member, including by cheering, booing, and wearing clothing with political messages.” At the event in Maine, McGonigle said she wore a shirt saying, “J.D. Vance cured my imposter syndrome.”
I wish somebody would cure her bougie guerilla syndrome. Preferably by administering a prolonged methodical beating.
Stunning and brave.
But deeply stupid and ignorant of the law.

Noem is back on the market it appears.
You mean she didn’t want to stay married to a quasi-trans sissy getting humiliated online by Communists? Say it ain’t so!

Good on the Anchor Steam revival. And the labels.
The civil rights (left) blew it on Michael Brown when they had Tamir Rice right there (watching the police footage is maddening)

Those are sweet photos, and I’m not a cat person. Hope they find good homes!
Let those among us who have never thought about doing the same thing throw the first stone.
If only
Thanks Animal for your RedState articles.
Now I am sure someone will find some reason (money) to say this is a bad idea.
I say we go to UTC and in less than 365 days, we’d all be okay
Why do you people advocate for the English time zone rather than one that’s useful?
Boise would F it up and force Idaho to be on standard time all year.
They are in Mountain and the north 1/3 of the state is in pacific. Boise needs to be in pacific.
No! I like Mountain Time just fine.
First part of week off was good. Time on the lake, time down a river, some projects around the house…
*starts calculating deferred retirement options*
Computer says “Not before 2078”
Im not that young. 2033 is my 30 year mark wirlth military buyback completed.
53 aint a bad time to retire and get a BS job fixing hickville internet/computer issues for 3 years before pulling in pension at 56.
I’ll hit 55/30 in 2038. If New York hasn’t bankrupted the pension fund that would let me retire immediately with 60% FAS and keep my existing medical coverage.
I’m trying to plan for the probability that New York plunders the fund and I get nothing.
Jackpot law
New plaintiffs in a class action lawsuit against Elon Musk’s AI company, SpaceXAI, allege that the company’s image-generation models were used to create child sexual abuse material and that the company failed to adequately share information about an alleged perpetrator with authorities.
Two plaintiffs, one in Wyoming and the other in Wisconsin, joined the lawsuit filed by three Tennessee teenagers earlier this year, according to an amended complaint filed on Tuesday. All the plaintiffs are referred to as Jane Does. The suit was also expanded to include Stability AI, the company behind the Stable Diffusion image generator, as a defendant.
The suit alleges that the perpetrators, including a plaintiff’s male friend and another plaintiff’s stepfather, used the companies’ AI models to alter photos taken when the plaintiffs were underage to make child sexual abuse material (CSAM). The five plaintiffs accuse the companies of producing CSAM, benefiting from sex trafficking ventures, negligence, defective product design and creating a public nuisance.
They ain’t got no money.
Fake news.

Men are such filthy deviants that even if this guy is secretly gay, he’d still be jumping all over this.
I mean that look is sorta the point and ai wholly approve.
The plaintiffs are asking the AI companies to install more effective guardrails to prevent the creation of exploitative and abusive imagery as well as seeking monetary compensation.
How exactly is that supposed to work?
I guess you start by training your AI to be a degenerate pervert baby raper. Takes one to know one. Maybe the FBI can assist with that.
Home drawings will be next
“How exactly is that supposed to work?”
Ya see, ya ask for a lot of money. Then you accuse the now-defendants of child sex crimes, racism, misogyny, white supremacy, ADULT sex crimes, and homo- + Islamo- + estrogeno- phobia, shake ’em all together, see how many links you can make, then multiply THAT by the amount you originally asked for, and shop for a friendly judge.
I’m in this game to win it.

Original for comparison
Huh. I thought I was linking the original. I had no idea that movie existed.

34 minutes of SpaceX documentary porn.
Some shots I have never seen of the Starship made that pretty cool.

Great Lakes is 38 years old
Ooooo.
Though I see no anniversary beer on their website.
And I never noticed the babe in the background of the Elliot Ness label.
They’ve mentioned throwback food and beers in their e-mails. At least one mentioned bringing back Burning River.
Tomorrow I’ll be hitting up Saucy, as they’re only doing their event tomorrow. Sunday the girlfriend and I are planning on hitting Great Lakes up for brunch, and likely going up to Pins Mechanical for some pinball, duckpin bowling, arcade games, and drinks.
This sounds like a great weekend.
They have some good pins there. https://pinballmap.com/map/?by_location_id=13670
I’ve only got one of those but mine is set to free play.
Threedoor:
Pins Mechanical runs their pinball for $1/play (same with their air hockey, foosball, and old school bubble hockey games). We’ve got other places that do pay for entry and unlimited plays while in. If you want to see the big times, bring the family out here for the Gaming Classic. Everything free to play, cosplayers, retro PCs, the old BattleTech pods, and more.
TOO LOCAL NEWS: NH Secretary of State has a brief statement on Federal election monitors
New Hampshire Secretary of State David Scanlan told NHJournal Thursday he’s not concerned about election observers from the federal Department of Justice to observe the Sept. 8 primaries.
“Our elections are open to observation by anyone, including federal agencies,” Scanlan said. “When it comes to elections, New Hampshire does a good job.”
On Wednesday, New Hampshire Journal reported that Harmeet K. Dhillon, who heads the DOJ’s civil rights division, announced federal election observers were headed to 15 communities in six states to oversee their upcoming primaries: Arizona, Michigan, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire, and Virginia.
Virginia’s rescheduled primaries aren’t what was intended …
WA CA OR dodged the bullet that should have been aimed at them.
I suspect, and the article mentions this, that the bullet went to NH because NH won in Federal court over the Administration’s request to hand over the voter rolls.
I think the Feds appealed, but from what I have read on the case, I expect NH will continue winning.
From Twitter:
Suddenly I feel a lot better about having been a bit neglectful.
23yo XX: bought car in cash at 17 (yeah, okay, we chipped in about 3k for her graduation present); roadtripping at 18. Great job, no student loans.
20yo XY: bought car at 18; immediate roadtripping. Learned he’s a talented manager. Great job he loves (not Chipotle) (landscaping for our school district), no student loans.
Yes, XY put us through the wringer and I wish it had not been so. XX has resentment that we allowed his bullshit to suck up all the air in the room and she and I are working on that. But XY’s time away turned him around and XX has fully flown the coop.
Are these kids giving all that up for scrolling TikTok and an occasional Uber?
Yup. Even if they wanted to go somewhere, their social life is online. Where are they gonna drive? The movie theater? The mall? A restaurant? Nobody their age is there, and the few people who are aren’t in their social circle.
The people their age-ish who are Doing Things are in the trades and un/skilled labor. And I don’t say unskilled with any condescension whatsoever. I can’t do those jobs.
I didn’t get a license at 16 because we couldn’t afford the insurance hike it’d cause.
And no, I was not able to accquire employment that would cover it until I was at college.
Pushing the driving age to 16 was a grave error.
It needs to go back to 14.
