Summer appears to be taking it toll on our authors. We are a bit light/unsure on content this week. [INSERT SEMI-DIGNIFIED PLEADING BY SWISS FOR CONTENT TO BE SUBMITTED]. But imma gonna tell you about what we do have, by cracky!
Monday – Animal continues keeping us entertained and informed on Modays – but this one is not firearm related. Tune in. ’nuff said. SP will continue the Guide to Insufferable Politeness. This @#$%b lot could use some @#$%ing manners. I don’t know how it could insufferable? That means I will have to read the @#$&ing article, eh?
Tuesday – Yeah, about Tuesday… MLW is getting fried by “Woke Charmed”, so that may be a bit more periodic, rather than regularly scheduled. And I am going in for a lovely cortisone shot right between the C6 and C7 vertebrae. So, content is…not settled at this point.
Wednesday – Hat and Hair double feature. The Tale of Goode King Donald continues, and CPRM finishes our minds off in the evening. If that doesn’t spell entertainment, nothing does!
Thursday – RC Dean gets pessimistic. Well, in an article. Yes, just read it, will ya? Then we will hear from Sir Digby. Good to get some people contributin’ around here!
Friday – What are We Reading by our very own Glibs Staff. I will actually have an entry. Other than “raclette place menus” or “beer list” or “wine list” or “spirits list”. A cryptid to be named later will visit us in the evening.
Weekends continue to see OMWC, Not Adhan, Spudalicious and Mexican Sharpshooter lay it all out for us.
Weekday links should come from me, Banjos, OMWC, Brett and any substitutes we need to jam in at the last minute.
Please consider sending something – as you can see, we take all comers, all topics and subjects. That is part of what makes this place the bestest in the whole intarweb!
The comments are all yours.
I’ll see if I can pump out something at least half assed this week.
^ Now that is how you euphemism!
He’s just dicking around with us.
Don’t want to go off half cocked.
The penis mightier than the sword? Is that how you do this?

From what I’ve heard, Brett Kavanaugh has a big taint.
Nicely Brooks’d, Spud. Nicely done.
A big taint means you’re healthy. /IFLS
So is half-assed, quarter tainted?
Depends on how the taint is parceled out. If you have front taint, back taint, and neutral taint in the middle, then quarter taint would be appropriate.
How much area does your taint occupy, anyhow?
If less than 9 square inches you may have infertility issues.
^ you may safely ignore this man’s self-reported length.
That’s a lot of friggin’ taint.
So is half-assed, quarter tainted?
I believe the elementary school version was “half past the monkey’s ass, a quarter to his balls”.
As long as it wasn’t the med school version, I’ll allow it.
I have a SCOTUS term review about 2/3 of the way done. I hope to finish it tonight or maybe early next week.
And I am going in for a lovely cortisone shot right between the C6 and C7 vertebrae.
Best wishes. I hope you heal up soon.
Had that once. Not any fun. Didn’t do any good. Ended up going under the knife whcih turned out great.
Most of the people I know who have had cervical spine issues have eventually gone under the knife, and every single one has said they wish they did it years sooner.
Yeah. Having someone cut on my spine was not something I wanted, but two weeks later I was like new.
My father had someone cut on his back after he came back from Korea. He suffered every day as a small holding farmer who had to work every day.
I’m sure the technique a are better now.
I member working along side him a a young child feeding 36K chickens by hand until they grew up a bit and him grunting from pain every so often
I would cut off my left nut if I could sit and talk to my father for just a few minutes.
He died when I was 22
ugh
My dad had two back surgeries, performed by Fred Flintstone and a Hopi shaman, apparently. Maybe he’s better?
He’s going around the bend, and I want to yell at some of his crazy shit, but I’m lucky to have him at all and just let it go. . . what does it matter.
Mine when I was three. So, yeah–I’ feel what you’re saying.
Mine died when I was 31. When I had always feared I’d die at 32. He was crippled by MS and I derailed my whole life to care for him. When he died it was like losing a son, a father and a best friend in one day. This year will be 4 years. I can’t believe it. I’m just now coming out of the fog.
I never saw my father after the age of 3 but by all accounts that was a good thing.
I can only add that I’m sorry for that in your life (and his). I trust you are doing better–you seem to be, from what I can tell.
5 years. Damnit I can’t keep track of time anymore.
I went in for that once. It was a series of three. The first one was great, made a huge difference. I was looking forward to the second one. They give you lidocaine before they do it. They gave me like twenty shots of lidocaine before starting, then they put the needle in and for some reason decided to give me some more lidocaine in the middle. After about the fourth of the second set, I got a strong spinning sensation and told him I was very dizzy. The fifth shot barely entered my skin when I passed out. I woke up on a gurney across the room with emergency procedures being performed. I’m pretty sure they got lidocaine into my bloodstream or something. Scared me straight I never went back for the third installment. Now, I just live with the pain. I was on Hydrocodone for a few years, but my present job tests me every so often and won’t let me work if they found that stuff.

Wednesday – Hat and Hair double feature.

Ya’ll may not have seen the pic of Kellyanne and Pie that made the rounds on FB, both of them with resting bitch face; the caption was Worst Heart Tribute Band Ever.
Good luck on the cortisone, Swiss. I get a shot in my left knee every 3-4 months. It works, but the first 24-48 hours can be painful.
So, in other news…My mom took a tumble this morning. Banged her head into her car, denting her car. She’ll be ok eventually, but for now she’s bruised up and in pain. ?
Sorry.
Thanks.
Owwwwww! 🙁 No other injuries, I hope?
She went to the hospital and they checked her out. Nothing broken, no concussion.
Smart mom. Rest up and be fine. *Knock on wood*
Mine fell back in January, and hit her head on a car. Worse than that, she broke a knee. compared to her other shit, that was fairly tame, and she healed up rather quickly.
/Sorry about yours.
Glad she’s doing okay, Sean. Getting old sucks.
Sorry 🙁
Go Mom! Her head is harder than an automobile!
Seriously- I miss Mama Tres pretty much daily; hug your mum.
Good photos if you like ruin pron (I do).

But the biggest threat to survival, according to another former prisoner, came from the brutal winters, which frequently dropped below -40C.
Fun fact for UCS: that’s -40°F as well !
We had a road that ran through the bottoms and along a long island but the bridge washed away. There were trees growing in the middle of the old asphalt in ten years.
It is amazing how fast forest take back over. in pictures of the little Masshole town we lived in from the turn of the 19th century the place is unrecognizble. It’s all open fields. Now its all forest with cleared house lots.
The Appalachian Trail in PA and NY goes through dozens of towns from the 18th and 19th Centuries and hundreds of former farms. Except for some former pasture stone fences, an occasional stone forge/coke oven, or following a former RR right of way- it all is just forest.
Wow, that is far north.
There’s a show on Discovery called “Mysteries of the Abandoned”. It covers stories like this and is really fascinating.
I dig that show. A lot.
It’s got a weird vibe, though: the experts talk in these animated tones about what might it be and why did they do it that don’t jive with their training. Engineers are nonplussed: that’s an X that was built like Y because of Z. Simple, no conspiracy or drama needed.
That was my least favorite thing about Walter White: season 1 he’s so linear and then suddenly, four episodes into S2, he starts deferring to emo BS instead of staying on target. I want S1 Walter all the way through.
My weirdist vibe is the tranny military historian.
S/He has a voice made for print media.
engineer them: oh my what could it be
me: it’s a concrete bunker * sigh *
CGI ribbon: engineer so and so went to Eton and then Sandhurst and majored in . . .
me: * drinks *
them: these might be windows
me: it’s a turret, that’s the Norman coast right fucking there
them: and who could have possible built this and when and for why?
My wife and I are watching the Weird Things That Happen In Nature series from I believe Discovery, mostly because it’s brainless, animal-based light entertainment that we can half-watch with our kid, and there’s a really similar feel. A lot of those shows do that annoying “Gee whiz, folks, what could it be?” bit because they’re taking essentially 45 seconds of video footage that can be summed up as, for instance, “A badger ate that dead calf”, and stretching it out into a 15 minute segment.
*That isn’t the actual title, but it’s something like that. It’s the newest incarnation of its type.
I love shows that replay the same footage 50 times and treat me like a mentally stunted third grader/not
…not that I criticize you for what you watch to wind down and isn’t inappropriate for kids. Hard to find anything that meets that criteria in my experience.
You mean like “Expedition Unknown”? Where the “star” Josh Gates, has a 100% record of not finding what he’s looking for?
I am entertained by Expedition Unknown. I liked Gates’ show on Sci-Fi as well.
I love ruin pr0n too. Surprisingly, the Warsaw Pact countries are loaded with it…
I like prom where they. .. oh, wait, that’s not what you meant.
Monday mornings with a 10 year old girl. Sigh. Totally and completely unlike all other 5th graders, she really doesn’t want to go to school after the weekend. It’s sprinkling this morning and her protest was to walk to school without her umbrella. This act of defiance will not stand with the wife. “You let her go to school without her umbrella? It’s raining!”. “Yep. She’ll get wet. Oh, well.” [Insert silly 5 minute argument here]. And I end up chasing the kid down on the way to school and hand her an umbrella. “Iranai” or “I don’t need it.” “Take the fucking pink elephant!”
End result? Angry wife. Angry kid. Wet me.
Letting kids fail in safe situations and then work through their consequences is the best parenting ever.
Pocahontas voter triggered.
I would have told the wife that if she was so concerned that she can take her an umbrella. Have I mentioned I’ve been married several times?
Compromise means she gets what she wants and I get to be unhappy about doing it. Also, obligatory reference.
*nods*
Relatedly, I need to find where the wife hid the pressure sensor on the couch. My ass had hardly hit the cushion when I heard a passive aggressive little “when you get a chance, the trash needs taken out.” That ended up turning into a fight.
My wife has been leaving her bags around the house for the last year, finally got sick of cleaning up after her, or the resulting toddler messes, especially when he gets into the chemicals she leaves around. Insta bad guy.
Where did you take yourself out to?
I hope it was Applebee’s the have the most awesome mediocre food.
Put her in a poncho.
And risk expulsion for cultural appropriation? Oh yeah, forgot I wasn’t in the states.

Question:
Who in a phone call is supposed to say “moshi moshi?” If I call Japan to say “watashitachi no name wa Not Adahn desu, nihongo wa sukoshi wakarimasu. Eigo was wakarimasu ka?” How am I supposed to open the phone call?
Both people say it. Also, “Our name is Not Adahn desu”? You’d probably say, “Kochira wa” not “Watashi wa”.
Yeah, don’t know why I went with the plural there.
I learned all my Japanese from a nun who taught preschool. Apparently I don’t sound appropriately manly.
Fortunately, both times I’ve had to cold-call Japan, (and I did open with moshi-moshi) I’ve heard “Yes” in response.
Let me give you an example from my not-quite-right-but-works-for-me telephone etiquette.
*Ring, ring*
“XYZ Company”
“Ahhh, moshi moshi. Kochira wa straff run desu. (insert relevant job info here). Tanaka san wa irasshaiimasu ka?”
“Ah, Tanaka san desu ka? Skoshi matte kudaisai”
“Onegaishimasu.”
Not technically correct but it’s worked out better than when I’ve tried following the text book manner.
I would open my calls to LeMans with my best French pleasantries and be answered, not in English, in American.
^^Pretty much what Straff said.

I have a SCOTUS term review about 2/3 of the way done. I hope to finish it tonight or maybe early next week.
I read a thing (NPR maybe) about how that private cemetery decision presages a wholesale demolition of precedent, because paranoid hysteria.
But it got me thinking. New York made some technical modifications to their gun transport law, to cut the wheels out from under the attempts to get it in front of the SC, right? Could/would that decision be helpful in keeping the gun transport case on track?
I think the SC already accepted the case, no? I’m inclined to think so.

Interesting, but I think I can quite happily live out my days without it.
I see OMWC didn’t comment much today. Makes sense….there is a Jaws movie marathon on.
You don’t even want to contemplate what’s going on in that house right now. Jaws, midget porn and fake, vegetarian seafood.
“fake, vegetarian seafood”
That sounds awful.
Honestly, if a team of doctors told me that I had to become vegetarian or die, I could do it. There’s plenty of excellent food you can make that is originally vegetarian (and sometimes even vegan). But I will never understand the appeal of imitation animal products. It all tastes horrible to me.
vegetarian seafood
Is that a thing?
I’m hoping it isn’t.

I had a hell of a great afternoon on this beautiful day. I helped to button up the rumble of a 68 GTX, went on a test drive, then followed it up with some range time.
Enjoy the day off, TimeL. Back at it tomorrow, eh?

No, because once the GTX was tuned up, he started playing PGA Tour 2018.
A high school buddy had one of those. We would open it up on back country roads…and busted a few engine mounts from time to time…..ah, the fun.

Saw update: got it tuned I think. Runs a lot better now imo and cuts nicely. Of course it’s just on the cusp of fire season so not as much opportunity to use it.
Gassed the moles, knocked down of grass, weed, & blackberry vines, and seeded some bare patches in the lawn. Next up: make stir fry on crunchy chow mein noodles.

I spent several hours today replacing sprinklers and broken line. Tomorrow I get to go on a treasure hunt to find the valve control box for the one station that won’t come on. I may have to chop through two feet of juniper to find it.
My moles had their tunnels opened up, probably by one or more of the four cats that patrols through my yard. The blackberry vines continue despite my efforts, though the strawberries are fading. I also seeded some bare patches, hopefully it will take.
Isn’t it late to be seeding? Spring is your friend.
Muh resycling!
Um, all of that is still “trash” and has probably been going into a landfill there or somewhere else for years. Peoples need to virtue signal has always baffled me.
I’ve mentioned it before but anything that requires more than a rinse goes in the trash now. At least as long as I’m in a situation where I’m not subject to the Recycling Policy nosing through it.
“Police”
An old lady that lived next door would sneak over to our garbage pick up area and check to see if I was breaking the recycling rules. I caught her a couple times and she’d scamper back inside. Filled a plastic bag with used condoms and tied it shut. Now, I didn’t see her actually open the bag, but she did cool it on the garbage cop stuff after that.
Something like that never happening in a million years is a thing I like about NYC. OK, maybe it happens in Staten Island.
How about back in the day when the neighborhoods were more clearly delineated by ethnicity?
Um… I don’t know? What are you asking?
I’m thinking about how in places like Denver where there were a mix of people, nobody would try that shit. I’m wondering if having a homogenous society breeds more “involvement” in stranger’s business than a multi ethnic society does. Or maybe it’s just Japan.
Ah, OK. I’d have to ponder that some more.
NYC has always been a crazy mix of people in the 20 years I’ve lived here, and I can’t speak for the before-times.
In the US, the nosy neighbor seems (to me) to be restricted mostly to suburban areas. I’ve never encountered that type in my life, TBH.
Interesting. There’s a stock character in TV/movies of the neighbor who opens their apartment door to monitor the comings/goings of the people on their floor. Is/was this a cali thing?
I think that’s a lazy sitcom trope that never existed IRL except in rare circumstances.
Think Lucy and Ethel always barging in on each other.
That’s true, but then again, Desilu was based out of CA (along with Mickey Rooney’s “Miss Golightly I MUST PROTEEEEST!”) The only instance I can think of that was definitely in NYC was Kramer in Seinfeld.
The first few seasons of I Love Lucy took place in NYC.
PS. Seinfeld was filmed in California, too.
I tend to stick out here, so I understand that is part of why they keep an eye on me. However, they tend to keep an eye on each other, too. More so than I’ve seen even in pasty white rural Northern Wisconsin.
I’m surprised you had enough condoms to fill the bag.
Did I forget to mention they were filled with tartar sauce?
There was a real missed opportunity for a cold call from a local urologist on behalf of a “concerned neighbor” in Act 3.
It goes overseas and ends up in the ocean. They stopped recycling glass around here several years ago because there was no market.
Seems the markets overseas have mostly dried up for plastic. Never saw that coming! It has always been more expensive to recycle a bottle than to make a new one. Now we can’t ship our trash to china.
One of Bloomberg’s first acts in office in NYC was to cut the failing parts of recycling. The green mob went apeshit and we were back to 3 bins within a year. I can see Deblasio adding another bin or two just to punish us.
Huh.
*goes out to back yard 55 gallon drum and lights trash on fire*
“and drove them two towns over from her home”
She *drove* there? So. much. fail.
Some years ago the Boston Globe did some actual reporting. They put RFID devices in differnet types of trash in different cities within the beltway. Some of the trash actually went to a recycling facility, but most of it just went to a couple landfills. This was long enough ago that we still had a dead-tree newspaper subscription and even then it was a fraud.

I’m convinced without hate clicks, Slate, Salon, etc. would go out of business. Twitter bait doesn’t even match the article.
Spoken like people who have never worked with Indians.
I don’t even do Europe during daylight savings
The European fabs forbid deodorants due to fears of aluminum contamination (actually they fear aluminium contamination, but w/e). Whenever we get an EU based person onsite we can smell them before we see them.
jheri curl or something can make paint fish-eye
30 years ago . . . might have been deodorant or toothpaste, tbh
Al contamination? That is strange. How is it expected to get out of the dirt bag?
Human sweat is filled with Na why are they not afraid of that getting out.
Also isn’t Al used in the factory elsewhere?
Sodium is a problem, but I guess most people don’t sweat through their suits. However, we are constantly railing against people who think that safety glasses are there to protect their eyes as opposed to catching their blink jetsam.
Al qua Al isn’t really used much, though obviously there are tool components/chambers where it is present which can lead to hilarity and hijinx.
Two things are going on: first, there is a whole lot of superstition and myth going on in this business, as there is in any situation where random chance is an issue. Second, aluminum like tin and copper has issues with mobility and diffusion that sodium generally doesn’t.
Though winter in the NE US is a solid reason why nobody builds fabs here. Sodium is a ridonkuldonk problem
for half of the year and we spend ludicrous amounts om money slathering the walking spaces around the site with magnesium acetate.

If you believe that your debate/argument is settled, then there should be no problem letting the opinion that “lost” expose itself for you to then rebuttal it.
“Even the most passionate free speech advocate might not wish to reopen the debate into whether women should be tried for witchcraft, or whether ethnic minorities should be allowed to go to university, or whether the Earth is flat. No-platformers are not scared – they simply think certain debates are over.”
That is some motte and bailey bullshit.
That’s hilarious. I’ll attack the motte, though; the reason we aren’t having debates about trying women for witchcraft isn’t because the topic has been marked “closed” by some authority somewhere, it’s because nobody even bothers bringing it up because it’s such an incredibly weak case for any number of reasons. People still try to debate that the Earth is flat, apparently, but there’s a ton of evidence that suggests otherwise, and so the idea doesn’t get much traction. It’s worth emphasizing that by engaging the idea honestly it quickly loses any little momentum it might have. In contrast, ideas that are declared beyond the pale for discussion, for whatever reason, acquire the allure of the forbidden. Before long, people who wouldn’t think twice about topic X are wondering if there might be something to it if all these people are so threatened by it.

“Snipers Defend Drag Queen Story Hour From Mom-Led Protest
A SWAT team of two snipers was stationed on the roof of a public library in Spokane, Washington June 15. Their mission, along with 30-40 police officers, was to defend Drag Queen Story Hour from 300 concerned mothers and allies protesting the event.
The snipers, decked out in camouflage, were photographed on the roof of the library monitoring the protesting mothers with binoculars.
“Was anyone else disturbed that the library had 30+ police officers and 2 snipers with rifles on the roof pointed at us to protect men in dresses from women defending their dignity and praying?” 500 Mom Strong, the organization protesting Drag Queen Story Hour, said on their Facebook page following the event.
There was also a counter-protest in support of the story hour that numbered in the hundreds. The counter-protesters “yelled and screamed” at 500 Mom Strong, Anna Bohach, who organized the protest against Drag Queen Story Hour, told the Daily Caller.”

The story ends with “Little pig, little pig. Lemme come inside.”
Meh, cops were getting their “Rambo” on, they would have done it to stop the Drag Queens if that was the way the winds blew. This entire Drag Queen Story Hour bit puts me in mind of the KKK rallies in the late 80’s, not that drag queens are Nazi’s, but in the “ignore it and it will go away” sense.
Here’s this obscure local event that no one cares about I, let’s protest it and hopefully our bitching gets national attention, fucks sake, people grow up.
One wee bit of difference, the village of Skokie wasn’t hiring Nazis to come march…
Are these libraries hiring the Drag queens? our library has shit going on every day, hippie music, art shows, some group or another pushing their spiel. I’d be very surprised if these are paid gigs.
The library’s spokesperson, Amanda Donovan, said that when she booked Drag Queen Story Hour, she researched to see how other cities reacted to similar events.
“The level of support always exceeded the level of dissent,” she said about seeing similar events. “We definitely expected this reaction.”
The Spokane Public Library filled up the room for the story reading within hours after security guards used metal detector wands on the entering kids and their families. Staff had to turn away dozens of children, but a second Drag Queen Story Hour, at the Spokane Public Library in downtown next Saturday at 2 p.m., will have more room.
I took as the library was doing the booking, but maybe you’re right and they are just using the meeting rooms or whatnot as any other community group.
https://www.spokesman.com/stories/2019/jun/15/spokane-public-library-hosts-drag-queens-to-read-t/
Wow. Much reactionary. Such bigot.
Edgy and transgressive!
This shit is out of hand. Not believing that a public library children’s story hour is an appropriate venue for a drag show is not bigotry.

So for reasons beyond my control, today was a low energy day in the Spud household. Dinner was what I could scrounge out of the refer and deep freeze.
I grilled German style, duck and pork Bockwurst, with mustard on the side, Spanish croquetta’s with Tiger sauce from Louisiana, and a Mexican style coleslaw leftover from last night. It worked out amazingly well. It was the friggin’ UN of dinner.
Murhican whiskey is now on the menu.
You might be being too hard on yourself. If that is a low energy day dinner for you I’m not sure what my microwaved burrito says about me.
I’ve had many microwaved burritos in my day. Nothing wrong with that at all. Just avoid the ones from the freezer case at the convenience store at 2am…
OK, last one today, I promise.

Gillibrand is the most forgettable senator. Despite knowing New York has two, I keep forgetting that she exists.
For some politicians, “boiler plate bromides that any asshole could spout” is about all they can say.
Maybe that’s part of the joke. She is a complete non-entity even in her own state, after all.

“The knitting community takes a hard stand against Trump. How brave.”

“Support of the Trump administration is undeniably support for white supremacy”
Ok, fine. I’ll support the part of white supremacy that involves not electing a Progressive lunatic or a Socialist to office. And you know what else? If white supremacy winds up being minarchy, because it seems like I’ve heard in more than a few places that the idea that wanting a smaller, less powerful, less intrusive government is typical of white privilege and patriarchy, then I guess send me my hood.
Individualism is white supremacy you know.
I just think it’s funny that most of the Left literally believes that minorities will end up in poverty and waste away if the government doesn’t give them special handouts, yet YOU’RE the racist if you disagree with that.
As I understand it, a common pro-slavery argument was that blacks will naturally fall into destitution and barbarism, and it’s better for them to be given regular employment, food, and housing.
Yeah, there was definitely an argument made among pro-slavery people in the 19th century that black people were simple, child-like creatures who needed supervision. Basically, big dumb brutes who needed the guidance of western European whites. Even then, they’d be, at best, very clever pets. And then 100 years later you swap out Colonel Sanders for the government and it’s pretty much the same thing.
This was my wife’s favorite site for knitting stuff.
She’s pissed as there are few other places with the resources, but doesn’t want to have anything to do with it now. They also sell patterns so now she has to look to alternative sites to get the same pattern.
Once again politics is like religion for these assholes. I make it a point to never mix politics with my non-political hobby internet reading.

“Latest social justice rage: In San Francisco, activist group @TheCoalitionSF sicced a mob on a sushi restaurant in the Castro after claiming the rock was part of “anti-homeless architecture.” The owner denies it was placed there to keep homeless away.”

“Rainbow rock outside San Francisco restaurant sparking controversy
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — A rainbow rock in an alcove of a sushi restaurant in San Francisco’s Castro District is sparking controversy, with some saying it was meant to prevent homeless people from seeking shelter there.
The Coalition on Homelessness shared a photo of the rock on Twitter, along with a message: “When you wanna look inclusive but hate homeless people.”
A manager at the restaurant said they put out for their Japanese Zen garden and there is a safe space in the entryway of the restaurant that homeless people can use.
The Coalition on Homelessness has since deleted the tweet, and posted the message: “Ya’ll, we made a mistake! While rocks r a common prt of anti-homeless architecture, this particular rock is NOT. It’s a Japanese garden. Izakaya Sushi is a valued member of the commnity & is supportive of its homeless neighbors. We apologize & offer deep appreciation to the staff.””

Nothing says “Come on in!” like having to step over a bum to get into your restaurant.
Yesssss…. let the hate flow through you….
From a link in one of the comments. From Venice Beach:
“Even the homeless woman at the Frederick camp says the city’s housing plans aren’t a viable long-term solution. “I’m not going to rub my tummy and jump through hoops just to live inside,” she says, “I shouldn’t have to go through that much of an act just to get housing. People should be allowed to live how they want.”
The cost of housing isn’t this broad’s problem. In Maynard G. Krebs immortal word: “WORK???”
The homeless lobby’s shameful conflating of derelicts with actual people in need ought to condemned instead of used as a bludgeon to bash wrong-thinkers over the head with.

there is a safe space in the entryway of the restaurant that homeless people can use
Smh
So I live in a town of about 25k, and I think we have maybe 10 actual homeless people here at any given time, so someone’s gonna have to fill me in… Is there actually an expectation in areas with large homeless populations that local businesses “provide” spaces for homeless people to “use”?
In Memphis, the shelter and the soup kitchens are all downtown. The vagrants stay under bridges or in industrial zones or in a park.
No one cares because none of this impinges on the nice spots or impacts tourism. Few of the vagrants are white, so I suspect the entire issue is invisible to most natives: they just see pedestrian traffic and don’t think what fraction comes from where.
I think it depends on the wokeness quotient of the region. California? Probably. New York? Not so much – there’s a noisy activist class but people are getting tired of their shit.
Yoou’re right, the people of California aren’t getting tired of the homeless folks shit . . . they’re just stepping in it.
There are homeless activists pushing to normalize sleeping on the streets, along with demands for free shit without strings. They bully and badger any wrong thinkers until they back down like this case.
Same here. I think we may have you beat on the number of homeless.
Are people still bitching because the only shelter is a private religious one?
In Annapolis there are a couple of alcoves of public buildings downtown where you sometimes will see a homeless guy set up some blankets at night, but I’ve never seen it at private establishments. I can think of a few woke places that might go for it, but the clientele would evaporate and they’d be out of business by the end of the month.
This quite possibly the greatest red pill ever:

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/turkeys-president-suffers-stinging-defeat-in-istanbul-election-redo/ar-AADiZAB?li=BBnbfcL
ISTANBUL — President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey suffered the biggest defeat of his political career on Sunday as his candidate for Istanbul mayor conceded defeat in a repeat election. The result wrests control over Turkey’s largest city from Mr. Erdogan and ends his party’s 25-year dominance there. Opponents say such a loss cracks the president’s aura of invincibility, showing that his grip on power after 16 years is weakening.
A regime is finished if they can’t fix an election, especially when you get a second bite at the apple.
Third time’s the charm.
Probably not this time. He had quite a time getting the redo. He won’t get a third chance.

Drag is camp for adults, burlesque for gays. There’s a reason RuPaul’s Drag Race is rated TV-MA.
I don’t get this push to make it a kiddie thing.
If I were trying to generate some sort of socon backlash against gay people I would start by confirming the worst fever-dreams of every person who peddled the idea that there’s a gay conspiracy to recruit children. What kills me about this is that they’re conflating something that isn’t a choice–homosexuality–with something that is the very definition of a lifestyle choice–drag. It’s like saying, “If you really want to support white people, you’re going to have to start putting mayonnaise on french fries and listening to Texas swing.”

One of the principals sat in on my interview. I was asked that hackneyed question about my biggest weakness, and I said I’m often insecure about my work and need guidance because I worry about screwing up. It’s maybe the only honest thing I said. He said everyone feels that way. I thought he was humoring me, but maybe not.
My gut feeling is the world is made up people either suffering from imposter syndrome or Dunning–Kruger.
Yeah, that’s fair. I’m largely the former, although I suspect I may be the latter, which may itself be a symptom of the former.

80s and 90s FTW
I don’t know why, but I just can’t get into Depeche Mode. It’s weird because I like a lot of stuff that’s heavily influenced by them, and I know a lot of people who are really into them, and I can’t point out anything that’s wrong with them, and it really seems like I should like them, but… none of their songs do it for me.
We all have blind spots.
I should add that I have zero interest in the considerable output they released after 1990.
But for a while there in the 80s they were new-wave superstars.
