Having worked with Wisconsin Medicaid for the past two years, I am no longer surprised at what happens beyond the cheddar curtain.
This is my review of Ogopogo Brewing La Llorona Mexican Lager:
The WI Democrat Primary came down to three choices: Michael Irvin, The Red Guard, some lady that resembles this:
For those paying minimal attention it would appear the more moderate candidate won. Pay no attention to the odd events that occurred like the wild disparity between the polling suggesting the Red Guard candidate will win by +20 and the results. The thumb drives that were supposed to have the results but instead had different data all together are just human error apparently.
The post mortem coming out in the past week suggest something between the left making attempts to appear more moderate, and some rather hilarious cope:
What’s not the left’s Achilles’ heel, strictly speaking, is its democratic socialism, which almost invariably takes the form of social democratic proposals when socialist candidates campaign. Wealth taxes, higher taxes on the rich, greatly enhanced workers’ rights; universal publicly funded health insurance, child care, and senior care; opposition to monopolies, ending big money’s control of politics, establishing public options to private corporations in essential sectors—these are the issues that such socialists as Bernie Sanders, AOC, and Zohran Mamdani have successfully run on, and that Wisconsin gubernatorial candidate Francesca Hong also ran on, as well as her opposition to the spread of data centers.
These are not the issues, however, on which the right has attacked Hong or other socialist candidates. Rather, they attacked her for her politically marginal support for police abolition and opposition to Thanksgiving, stances she committed to social media in the heyday of Woke 1 and failed to convincingly repudiate when the right surfaced them in the closing days of her campaign.
Yes its not the socialism thats unpopular its actually the part about socialists supporting unpopular things that is unpopular. Socialism is still very popular with the masses, comrade.
In light of the missing thumb drives, the weird polling, and this article arguing “yes there are places in out election systems that have security risks but nobody has actually gone so far as to exploit them,” we need to revisit our old friend Yuri Bezmenov to figure out the only real explanation as to what is going on. Spoiler: it’s demoralization—specifically the end of Stage 2;
Bezmenov argued that this stage could occur in as little as two to five years. The goal is not to change culture, but to weaken confidence in the systems that maintain stability and prosperity.
Maybe I’m just pithy today. Luckily the NFA apparently no longer exists so at least I can build an SBR for the revolution.
La Llorona is a Mexican tale of a woman that for whatever reason murders her children with an axe. Chopped them right up, you see. Except in the versions I was told as a kid, she feels some level of remorse for the terrible things she did, and for whatever reason convinces herself that murdering other people’s children will somehow bring her children back through some vile form of absolution. That’s the plan, murder more kids. The problem? For whatever reason she can’t stop crying! So to solve this, she only walks around looking for kids with an axe while its raining. The moral of the story of course being not to go out in the rain… rather than not murdering your children. I unfortunately was somewhat impatient when I purchased this and tried to cool it faster by putting it in the freezer. Clearly I was just a few minutes too late (my bad). I will now attempt to thaw my beer, by freezing yours…Ogopogo Brewing La Llorona Mexican Lager: 2.2/5
Unforeseeable
“A software-defined vehicle is really a vehicle which is no longer stale in time. It’s a vehicle which continues to improve over time through over-the-air updates,” said Rivian Chief Software Officer Wassym Bensaid. “What we like to say at Rivian is that the least capable Rivian you will ever get from us is on the day of your purchase, and then it will keep improving and getting better and better over time.”
The rise of these tech-heavy vehicles poses implications for the entire automotive world. A vehicle costs, on average, nearly $50,000 in the U.S. — a far bigger investment than a smartphone — but as they age some features could become unavailable because of obsolete hardware or discontinued product support. Ever-changing and often proprietary technologies raise questions about the long-term repairability of a vehicle.
“We honestly don’t know how long these vehicles will last,” said Sam Fiorani, senior vice president of vehicle forecasting for AutoForecastSolutions. “We’re already seeing problems with hardware not being able to deal with new software.”
This is what the customer wants!
I’ll copy pasta my reaponce from the dead thread.
I’ve said it before.
I want standalone systems in cars.
No computers for the lights.
Relays and switches.
Infotainment that is not integrated into the rest of the vehicle.
A turn signal unit that clicks because it’s a heater and not played through the stereo.
Wing windows.
Simple things.
Cheep things.
That’s a long winded way to say an “old car”. I don’t see the simplicity ever coming back. I honestly think the industry peaked roughly 1999-2004. Almost everything was reliable, comfortable and reasonably economical if that’s what you wanted. My 2001 Chevy Tahoe had more space and got better real world fuel economy than my 2013 Tahoe. My 2013 has already had the engine replaced once and the transmission replaced twice and it’s still has 30k miles to go before my ’01 got it’s first transmission. I never even had to crack into the engine on the ’01. If I knew then what I know now, I wouldn’t have sold the 2001. Even in 2001 though, they were far from analog, but what they weren’t was the software networked atrocities like they are now.
There is a movement with trucks like Slate and Reo to simplify the automobile again. I know a standard Slate does not come with an entertainment systems. Yeah, it’s an EV but as a runabout truck goes (you don’t take it on road trips) it’s 205 mi range is fine.
I think we might be at a point where the big automakers might be overplaying their hands (similar to the 1970s with the big 3) a bit and several hungrier competitors can come in and make hay. The biggest issue is probably regulatory capture.
My 2004 F150, 119K, is just about as complex as I need. Looks good, runs great.
The 1999 is running great in Fairbanks, AK, but MN winters took it’s toll and it’s beset with the body rusting away. Engine/drive train still great, cosmetically for me it’s like looking in a mirror.
My 2018 GTI is peak VW. They’ve lost their way in a short amount of time since then.
Mexican beer slushy?
Change your latitude.
For some reason I read that as slutty.
Change your lattitude?
Stick that mother open-end-down in a giant frozen margarita.
These are not the issues, however, on which the right has attacked Hong or other socialist candidates.
Those are all common sense solutions for obvious failures of modern culture.
Late Stage Capitalism(tm)
La la la la llarona
Ayyyy my little frozen one, frozen one
Are you gonna add in some lime, Llorona?
Stop that!
Never gonna stop. Drink it up!
Such a thirsty guy I always drink too much, and throw up.

Shuttin’ ‘er down, Boss!
she feels some level of remorse for the terrible things she did, and for whatever reason convinces herself that murdering other people’s children will somehow bring her children back through some vile form of absolution. That’s the plan, murder more kids.
It’s not the craziest idea I’ve heard.
I’m going to freeze all your beer now.
I’m hearing the guy who won got a little “help”. Because who even knows his name or what he looks like?
I haven’t followed closely. My skimmed version? Looks like Hong was gonna win, largely in part to the ease of ‘registering’ voters and harvesting their ballot. O’Keefe’s recent vid showing him “vouching” for up to eight folk at a time. The DNC realized Hong was too bug-fuck and would reveal how nasty and upopular DSA policies really are, so they used a different lever of voter fraud to push in someone who was not quite as sickening as she is.
So Dems’ cheating ‘activists’ spiked the ballots for Hong, and the DNC reversed, stuffing ballots for the OTHER Dem to unseat Hong, the one their original cheating platform initially favored.
About right? So cheating once was bad, but cheating twice to get rid of the first cheater is proof the system works as designed. Yay.
what he looks like?
He looks like former NFL receiver now FOX Broadcaster Michael Irvin. You know, a well dressed, well manicured black guy.
Clean, articulate, in many ways could pass for Obama
I genuinely did not know it was that Michael Irvin. Wisconsin could do (and has done) worse.
No, “looks like” is not the genuine article.
Way too many people like the real Michael Irvin for him to ditch his life of wearing suits and yammering about football every Sunday morning.
I just learned in the last week or so that there was a Woke 1, and now there is a Woke 2.
I anticipate Woke 2 will be much darker.
Woke 2: Socialist Boogaloo
Woke 2 is just people lying and saying they really weren’t all that Woke first time ’round.
“I’m not a Communist! I’m a Democratic Socialist! See!!”
And everything was aaaaaaall better!! Smooches.
Woke 1 was just Trotskyites.
We haven’t tried real Woke yet.
Trotskyites would’ve put all of Woke 1 in a ditch.
Spoken like a true Menshevik…
Trotsky wasn’t enamored of the Frankfurt assholes. He was old school!
If we had responded properly to woke 1 there would not be a woke 2.
Looks like the Cambridge prof responded property to Woke 1.0
Small victories
That guy is going to be memory holed so fast it will make your head spin.
Nah, they’re trying to blame his death on the mean righties pointing out his being a charlatan.
I figured everyone in his orbit who encouraged all of his nonsense just wants to forget all about it. Except none of them have any shame.
@Threedoor: HA! I l misread your typo and got a big chuckle. (Yours also got one.)
Looks like the Cambridge prof 𝐫𝐞𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐲 to Woke 1.0, giving his body to The Cause, along with his dozens of plagiarized ‘work’ and his array of bullshit lies he sold about himself.
@Rhy: The ‘academics’ behind Ardey’s rise certainly won’t bring it up. If others wanna and can scrounge, there’s plenty of dirt to further reveal. The biggest DEI failure, directly to your point, won’t be brought up because it’s just too fucking embarrassing, even for the people doing the mucking. (Which is exactly why it fucking needs to be done.)
Brown Justice Ketanji Action Jackson embarrasses the other Justices. She must be the highest ranking, most visible example of the Dems’ explicit racism to again push “a black lady, no matter what.” Oh. Having said that, Kamala Harris was their most visible example, but I think everyone knows her ship has sailed. Wow.
Evan.
It’s like apples autocorrect gets worse with every iteration.
That’s funny though.
Woke 2 is just keeping the same beliefs but not saying the quiet part out loud, at least not till after the election.
“Woke 1” is just the excuse they came up with when folk *said* the Quiet Part out loud.
“I’m reformed!” “I don’t beat my wife anymore!” “I’m a newborn Christian!”
“My beliefs have evolved!” < — Modern Lefty.
"The Message" is perfect. "The Messaging" just needs work.
I thought Wolk Too was simply monetizing that shit, you know, like Web 2.0!
Simple things.
Cheep things.
You slay me.
I blame women being allowed to design automobiles.
Via committee.
To answer Chafed’s question from the dead thread – the Muslims love washing their feet in the sinks of public restrooms. I don’t know why, I just know it’s a thing from my interstate travels. It’s usually a truck driver doing it.
I’m guessing they’d find it offensive and dog-like to wash their feet outside with a hose? It’s like the problems within the black community: Strong voices need to come from within those groups to change anything. This won’t be done. Gal Saad is right, suicidal empathy. The push to make Millennials+ despise America has been wildly fruitful.
Because it’s been so successful, I believe (not without reason) the Chinese were mostly responsible for the groundwork of DSA, etc. Long game, played slow. Incrementally. Without pause.
Only big pro of the CCP? (Yes. Loose sarcasm. But fitting.) They won’t ever put up with Islamic fuckery. (Unless they’re funding it from afar. They won’t take any of that shit occurring *in* China.)
I’m struggling to envision how the foot gets into a wash basin. Ick.
When I thought of it, I thought of Koreans finding ways do their squat toilet deposit… on a normal toilet. Or wherever. But they did it with so much dignity(!) compared to modern urban campers.
Haji turns regular toilets into squat ones too.
The things Ive seen can not be unseen.
Flip flop brigade.
Muslim footwashing is part of the elaborate wudu ritual necessary before praying, touching a Koran, or such.
“Wudu (or wudhu) is the Islamic ritual procedure of washing specific parts of the body using clean water. It is an act of ritual purification required before performing daily prayers (salah), touching or reading the Quran, and performing other sacred acts.”
Lindsey and Darlene Graham continue to rack up primary wins in SC. I find that just as likely as the Wisconsin primary results.
PLEASE COME TO BURNING MAN!!!
We’re begging you! We aren’t going to make our numbers without your help!!
The hexagon shaped props remind me of something, won’t quite put my finger on it.
There was a time in my life I might want to go to Burning Man. Now? LOL.
PLEASE COME TO BURNING MAN!!!
We’re begging you! We aren’t going to make our numbers without your help!!
Nobody goes there anymore. It’s too crowded.
When I first heard about Burning Man in the early ’90s it sounded kind of cool. You couldn’t get me there at gunpoint now.
Yeah, not my cup of tea.
A couple people I knew in Reno in ’92 wanted me to go. Said no, and I don’t think I have ever missed anything.
After you said no did you shoot them just to watch them die?
They Cashed in their chips, that’s almost a certainty.
Same, but early 00’s.
Work buddy knew of it from when it was in SF.
In addition, a long-standing ticket aid program offers $250 tickets to low-income Burners who go through an application process.
That’s hilarious.
Playa City welfare.
Invite the hood Burners.
Please.
Cause I wanna watch it.
Do they take EBT cards?
“Britain’s prime minister called for reflection on Saturday after a black professor who faced a storm of plagiarism accusations died suddenly, days after resigning from a prestigious role at the University of Cambridge.
Jason Arday, who became Cambridge’s youngest Black professor in 2023, was found dead inside an address in south London on Friday. ”
Yeah. Found dead. Heart attack? No, duh, but we can’t say how he died. He killed himself. “Commit” suicide is also okay. Yes, Leftoids, “commit.” Some schmuck has to clean up that fucking corpse who otherwise wouldn’t have had to. Tell me *how* he did it, too. I can take it. Unlike all those r*pists with g*ns who sh**t sh*t. Fucking pathetic, ‘my’ generation. And the Media for pushing, enabling it.
I thought a lefty like him might not want to draw more attention to that fraud but again, yeah no shame.
Reflection here means you evil right-wing normies nerd to stop pointing out Arday’s dishonesty and let people blame this on anti-black racism.
The Anti-Black Racism of Academia which refused to hold him to anything resembling stnadrds is the only form which is existes, let alone can be culpabe.
BBC (TV) is full-tilt on this issue with a permanent piece with QR code related to Arday’s death. Just watched a screen from a “friend” of his who is calling-out the media for racism and wants the Government to create laws to ensure media has a responsibility for their coverage.
I guess if you’re that balls-deep in the insanity you just keep going with it. SMDH.
Chris Bray has a nice little piece on the nonsense responses.

When you mess up, just own it

Sounded like George Costanza calling his kid home from the ball field.

I thought all the kids were into 6-7 nowadays? Has inflation impacted that? I’m always so behind…
1953 Mercedes Benz 300S coupe. It’s a beautiful car, but $300,000? Seriously?
This limey auctioneer gets a bit sniffy at times.
