I just ate one of these Trader Joe’s butter cookies with guava paste. I normally hate guava but its surprisingly not awful.
I need to draw up two reports this morning so that’s as good an intro you get today.

This will only work wonders for gas prices.
Judge rules to allow proposed border fence erection over a levee in Texas.
Would they prefer he die in El Presidenté Duebro’s camps?
Let me check. Yeah its smoking.
Boomers that still read USAToday know Communists didn’t take over South America, and you’re blackpilling?
Interesting approach, but given the source I will leave the door open to them reading too much into it.
Now who is denying elections?
I am going to post this tune because there is a non-zero chance it was stuck in your head in the past 10 years and you have no idea who made it.
Perfect video accompaniment.
I had to do a double-take – I have never seen that episode because Comedy Central never shows it in their endlessly repeating rotations. In fact they generally skip most of season 1 and a lot of season 2 for some reason.
For Christ’s sake, it’s a capped gas well, not Chernobyl.
A) Are we still doing “he said without evidence?” B) Could be because we have 2 years until a Democratic president resumes the policy of allowing 5-6 million illegal crossings per annum (and yet miraculously, the total illegal immigrant population has been a steady 10-12 million since 2006 when I was writing an immigration policy paper in college).

Quick- round up some virgins.
Where is Joe when you need him?
It’s been longer than 10 years since it was stuck in my head, but I actually did remember the band/artist.
I might have known the name of the band 20 years ago and forgot.
What I do know is I never liked it not even after seeing it in thousands of different movies and commercials.
In same way that nudists are always the sort of people you never want to see naked, the songs that get stuck in your head are never the ones you want to hear over and over again.
Huh. I thought it was because they were a bunch of pussies.
Is a barista with a political science degree underemployed?
Probably overemployed. Certainly undereducated.
I’m not familiar enough with Argentine government to say whether their courts overturn it, congress simply ignores it, or the government caves when the population begins squealing like stuck pigs when the checks stop coming. Saying it even passes. I have a feeling their political class probably isn’t going to subject itself to a doomsday device.
The reviews are in:
‘Spider-Man’ screening evacuated due to strong flatulence odor
Apropos of little, I remember being dragged to the theater to see the original Sam Raimi/Tobey Maguire Spider Man in 2002. I was the only person leaving the theater who thought it sucked. Which has been my experience with capeshit ever since. One of the stars of the latest sequel of a rebooted reboot (Sadie Sink) was born the same year as the Sam Raimi/Tobey Maguire original. So basically, I’m old and cranky. But I was also young and cranky.
The first couple Superman movies are pretty much the only “capeshit” (lol) I will watch on occasion.
Told you not to pull my finger.
Calling bullshit.
But fits the sob-story narrative that is required here. Cue the protest circus. Rinse, repeat.
Dismissed for lack of standing. That’s how it works, right?
“We had a stiff breeze last Thursday, and the gas dissipated. Problem solved.”

Are they willing workers or slaves? And why does NJ want to make everything more expensive for everybody?
You know the answer!
On the one hand, if we’re going to have these labor rules it’s best to apply them uniformly instead of letting certain companies or industries sneak around the regulations. On the other, imagine a world where you could just have your attorney draft up a boilerplate employment contract, fill in the blanks with whatever terms you and your prospective employee find agreeable, and then hiring them. It’s only been a century or so since that was the case. If we hadn’t turned business owners into government revenue agents there would be no reason at all to have these ridiculous categories for various types of employees. For whatever good he eventually did, Milton Friedman deserves a few millennia in purgatory for that.
What the fuck is up to canadian mosquitoes in civilized europe they are active one hour before and after sundown. Here i got bitten at 4 in the afternoon. What the hell.

Not so fun when somebody else die the bloodsucking, right?
They are attracted to your non-maple flavored blood.
I’ve heard that eating lots of garlic helps keep mosquitos (and vampires) away.
Oh you need to experience the black flies.
In your Chardonnay?
I haven’t really been following that In n Out rodeo in Twin Falls very closely. Apparently two people, the “civilian hero” and an off duty cop were shooting back.
Did either of them actually hit him? The news said he died of a self-inflicted wound.
I believe not, but they did make him flee and decide to off himself at that particular time.
Even cringe hero is ok in my book. He engaged without hitting bystanders.
According to CBS News:
Sounds like he merced himself in the parking lot.
No confirmation either way so far. Looking at the Google Maps of where Jordan was vs. where the shooter was, I doubt that Jordan hit him, and if he did, I doubt it did much. It was about a 50-75yd. shot, and homeslice was running subsonic 55grn. 5.7FN, which is about like a .32ACP energy-wise.
Dunno where the off-duty cop was.
Still, the incoming fire might have distracted the asshole. That particular brand of shitbag tends to eat their gun at the first sign of opposition, so it certainly didn’t hurt.
Concealed carry with a suppressor is now “animal style”.

Well, at least he wasn’t Raw Doggin’ my hearing!

My 2026 Dodge Charger Test Car Bricked Itself Three Times In Five Days

JFC.
“The team identified the event you experienced, which was caused by a body control module (BCM) software issue. During an engine start stop (ESS) event, the BCM that reads the hood latch sensor sent a brief, irregular voltage level to the engine control module (ECM). Due to the irregular voltage level, the ECM could not determine if the hood was open or closed. The Charger’s safety protocol does not allow an automatic ESS restart with the hood open, thus prompting your cluster message and requiring a manual restart. Our team completed a software reflash to the BCM we believe eliminated the event you experienced on this pre-production unit, which has not been reported on any customer vehicles,” a spokesperson said.
I defy any manager of that place to explain exactly what is the benefit of all that software.
“We believe their actions drove the suspect from the scene, preventing further casualties,” Hicks said.
Suppressing or suppressive fire, right? They successfully knocked him off course and that ain’t nothing. I’m mostly curious. I have no idea what the distance was.
Has there been any talk about motive? Were any of the victims known to him? Was he pissed off about those fries? It seems like truly random events like this are vanishingly rare.
The burger he received looked nothing like the advertisement.

Well, it is In-n-Out, so looking like a meal is dicey.
I read something about the asshole attacking Teslas. Might be TURWB*.
*- The Usual Right-Wing Bullshit
Let me tell ya about my border fence erection. The biggest, safest, classiest erection you’ve ever seen. Kamala Schlammala couldn’t suck it. About all she’s good at! But mine. Spectacular. Every inch. All few of ’em. Gonna chew through Dems’ voting ‘migration’ scheme. Blue chew. Oh. We’ve gotta those guys on it. “Get hard with Blue Chew, Chewin’ Dems’ Blue chow thru DEMocracy! Chew ’em up. Spit ’em out. Like AOC always does. Loser. “Chew TEAM BLUE with Chew Blue!” God. I’m already hard.
the ECM could not determine if the hood was open or closed
You can’t live without that.
I still can’t figure out whether that Charger was shutting its engine off at the stoplight or something else. Good writing, dummy.
ESS did it.
Engine Start Stop
For fuel savings
And heaven forbid the car starting moving with the hood not latched. Maybe limit the speed instead of shutting down?
Minor details
Mamdani, 34, has revealed that ID will be required at city-owned grocery stores to prevent non-residents from accessing discounted food, according to a press conference posted on YouTube by his office on Monday, July 27.
As Globe previously reported, in Mamdani’s plans for the five new municipal grocery stores posted on the NYC.gov website, he shared that “a core basket of everyday groceries will be 30 percent cheaper” than regular grocery stores.
If they can’t vote for me, fuck ’em.
Aren’t the poors and darkies all ostensibly too retarded to obtain ID to vote? By what sorcery shall they obtain one to line up for government cheese?
Will the left care that he’s outed himself as a white supremacist now?
^^ What Pat said. Also: “a core basket of everyday groceries”
Wow. People feel so fucking pleased to hear they voted for that. And without fail, none of ’em ever think that that bundle of life-saving nutrition for the poor and unwell will ever apply to them. That’s for lesser people who need our benevolence.
^^ That whole idiocy thing? Well. Govt schools’ decades-long policy of graduating illiterates is bearing its ripe, gullible fruit.
Um…
Also, they won’t sell cigarettes or booze (the latter already illegal but better safe than sorry!).
Cops and fire trucks cruising through the neighborhood doing something for National night out.
I can’t be bothered to figure out what.
Had to look that up. Get a warrant or fuck off. Same as every day of the year.
I don’t have issue with the local constabulary. There’s at least a couple LEOs in the development here too. Never been a problem.
I haven’t had any particularly bad experiences with the local cops here, but at the end of the day, they’re cops. I treat them like circus animals. Even if they appear tamed, don’t turn your back on it.
SIL’s Bestie update: Work pics have her items, pens, notebooks, key chains, little stickers and such, all with the same phrase: “Filled with Whimsy & Rage”
“💖✨ WHIMSY & RAGE 🍭🧚🏻♀️
While I can’t prove that I came up with this lil turn of phrase, I’ll tell you that it’s been our vibe + mantra for quite a while! I feel a daily tug between the two (America — am I right? 😅🫠) and work to honor both as they’re both wildly important right now.
The newest addition to the crew are those cutie spiral pocket notepads from The Hissin’ Kitten!! 🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜
Tell a friend who will feel seen. 😘 ”

I hope you online friends all feel seen. Cuz I’m lookin’ right at it. No clue about her biz finances, or her husband’s, but I think she makes her money on Plus+ clothes? She ‘sells’ a shitload of tiny little thingies like this. Tchoktchkes or whatever. (No, not “artichokes” autofuck.) Probably ‘gifts’ from BIPOC+ Allies to spread the message that men are evil. I don’t know if she makes any money. This fat recently-bi’s husband is kinda in pharmaceuticals, to some extent? They live nearby. Not a big home, IIRC, but in Carmel, likely $500+?
About that “tug” in America, her weight at anchor is doing its part. About that oppressive patriarchy, it is awfully rich to suddenly become bi mid-marriage, isn’t it? Like that was a secret? Or you were just an ignorant tubby about it for so long? Or you’re just doing what your religious clique is doing? (Ah. Yes.) I find it baffling, yet common, that so many people throughout history, just in our species, get so much ‘life’ out of constantly being angry about shit they can’t see nor change. They still have to do it when times are ‘good.’ Yikes.
Unless you’re in fucking Wonderland, I don’t think “whimsy” is ever “wildly important.” She really *does* believe she’s in Wonderland. She’s a short, fat Munchkin flautist with far bigger dreams.
Hey, maybe she’ll bring home another tubbo for a 3 way with the hubby. Normally I’d say that’s more unlucky than lucky, but if he married her that must be his thing.
Heh.
You said erection.
The people in charge of marketing Fortune’s Weave are trying their darndest to lose my business.
A lot of the recent info can be summed up under the heading of “It’s a Fire Emblem Game” so fortunately, they didn’t mess with the part of the formula which works. But the more I learn about the four playable protagonists, the less I like them and the lower my enthusiasm for the title. I doubt it would let me leave them dead if I turned permadeath on – you tend to get a game over if the main characters fall and you decline to rewind.
