Gerrit Cole gave a masterclass in pitching again last night as he carried the Astros to the ALCS showdown everybody (except some people on the Florida gulf coast) was hoping for. Let’s hope their rotation holds up after going 5 while the Yankees were just relaxing for the last few days. Game 1 is Saturday.
Elsewhere, the Patriots looked dominant in the second half to pull away from a game Giants team. Your winners on the ice were: Detroit, Tampa, Edmonton, Pittsburgh, St Louis, Winnipeg (sorry, Wild fans), Nashville, San Jose, Calgary, Colorado and Phoenix. And in the only basketball news I’m going to mention, Steve Kerr is a stupid, spineless, kowtowing assclown.
Condiment magnate Henry John Heinz was born on this day. So were First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, real estate developer Fred Trump, writer Elmore Leonard, soccer legend Sir Bobby Charlton, musician Daryl Hall, rocker Al Atkins, actress that always annoyed me Joan Cusack, football great Chris Spielman, the late acting legend Luke Perry, entrepreneur and philanthropist Peter Thiel, and person on television Cardi B.
I apologize if my Joan Cusack comment offends any of you. She just isn’t a good actress in my opinion. Anyway, on to…the links!
Fredo may get the proverbial Lake Tahoe fishing trip from the LGBTQ community after last night. That was pretty cringe, but not as cringe as some of the things the candidates said. They pretty much said they all want the 1A abolished and would like to punish wrong think as a hate crime. Terrifying stuff, to be honest.

I’ve got a question for you. How does a freaking police officer rape five women while on duty over a two-year stretch without getting caught? I hope that piece of shit rots in general population for the rest of his life. (I’d wish he get publicly executed, but that’s not possible.)
As PG&E customers get their power restored earlier than expected, people further south are being told to prepare for the same fate. Nice job, private sector government-enforced energy monopoly.Way to do exactly what we expected you to do: fail spectacularly.

My best friend from high school has been diagnosed with prostate cancer, his dad died from it at 69. Fortunately prostate cancer is usually slow growing and he’s 82. Yesterday he said he’d just wait it out.
Its like what Roseanna Roseanna Danna always said…
My dad has prostate cancer too, but he’s 91. He’s been pretty active in his older years with hunting and fishing, but in the past month he’s kind of slowed down and started walking with a cane. He “joked” that it was the cancer, but I’m not so sure he was joking.
My doctor says that for most men it’s not really a question of whether we’ll get it, but when.

“Winchester would find a potential victim who had committed some minor offense, Wagstaffe said.
Then he would make sure none of his fellow officers were in the area and that no major incident was happening that might require his participation and take advantage of that time to commit his crimes, Wagstaffe said. “
Probably said he could find them and plant a gun or drugs if they thought about talking
Yep. And they were probably afraid to go to another cop for fear they’d get raped again and/or thrown in jail for the original offense.

So you’ve gone and torn the tags off your mattresses?
why would you do that?
Well, with all the lawlessness…
American cultural joke. Mattresses in the United States have a tag on them that in large words says DO NOT REMOVE UNDER PENALTY OF LAW. If you actually read the rest of the tag, it’s for the manufacturer and retailer, not the consumer (the reason, IIRC, is the color of the tag indicates if it was filled with new or recycled filling).
It’s a joke, Pie. US mattresses have these big scary warning labels “This Tag Not To Be Removed Under Penalty of Law,” then in much smaller type “except by the consumer.” Presumably there was a problem with this at some point in history, or the tag existed to assure the consumer he was getting a new mattress.
He’s Romanian. He’s probably amazed that instead of stuffing burlap sacks with straw to sleep on, we have a mattress store on every other street corner in America.

Robert Francis continues to prove he is a wannabe tyrant.
During the broadcast of CNN’s town hall on LGBTQ issues on Thursday, 2020 Democratic presidential hopeful former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-TX) said religious institutions that do not agree with same-sex marriage would lose their tax-exempt status under his presidency.
Don Lemon asked, “This is from your LGBTQ plan. This is what you write. Freedom of religion is a fundamental right, but it should not be used to discriminate. Do you think religious institutions like colleges, churches, charities, should they lose their tax-exempt status if they oppose same-sex marriage?
O’Rourke said, “Yes. There can be no reward, no benefit, no tax break for anyone or any institution, any organization in America that denies the full human rights, and the full civil rights of every single one of us. And so as president, we’re going to make that a priority, and we are going to stop those who are infringing upon human rights.”
I think last night pretty solidly proves that Team Blue needs to be kept as far away from the reigns of power as possible. They seem to be anti-all freedoms, including the entire BoR.
“religious institutions that do not agree with same-sex marriage would lose their tax-exempt status under his presidency”
Scary stuff. Let’s hope Trump gets to make at least one more SCOTUS appointment.
Beto’s position will be mainstream in the Democratic and LP in less than ten years. I’d bet money on it
“These amps are special! See the dials? They go to eleven!”
“ Freedom of religion is a fundamental right, but it should not be used to discriminate”
Freedom is important but not as important as thinking the same as me.
Fundamental. You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means.
“and we are going to stop those who are infringing upon human rights”
Seeing as civil rights are infringed by the government I’m classifying you as fucking evil.
The guy is trying to be considered the most evil mother FR running for the Dems.
Only because Warren wasn’t there.
And the Dems take one more giant step toward Orange Man being the least awful choice in the next election.
Actually, they are nearly there already. It’s just that there are still some moderates to whom it’s not apparent yet.
I still don’t understand how a normal person – and I’m sure there are normal Democrat voters – could listen to this and possibly vote for these illiberal mental cases.
Two reasons. 1. Team Uber alles. 2. Unfortunately people are generally stupid and have short memories. By June 202 you won’t hear any of this, all you’ll hear is “Jobs, jobs, jobs, and free shit for all paid for by taxes on the 1%”
June 2020
They’re not normal and they don’t listen. They just vote based on vague senses of this seems to feel gooder.
This is why some people don’t vote. They won’t vote against their team, but they won’t vote for this shit either.
I want to see Robert Francis march up to the ISNA mosque in Bridgeport and tell them this.

This power thing is so fucked up. It’s 2019 and these monopolies are saying they have no idea how to safely supply power to major cities in the US. The government is going to cave and give them rate increases, because 500 bucks per month per house is just not enough to insure reliable delivery of power. Fucking mamby pamby CA politicians are n’t lifting a finger to stop it, because the outrage is going to provide them cover for when they cave and they’ve all stated their desire for more expensive energy, anyway.
They can’t safely supply power – under the limitations imposed by the state of California which precludes properly clearing brush from near power lines, and makes it cost prohibitive to refit infrastructure due to additional liability gained from doing so. The whole thing is an interlocking web of disincentives imposed from on high. All I blame PG&E for is not simply dissolving and saying “Fuck it, we’re not doing this anymore”
They are also going bankrupt. CA has been imposing their unrealistic fantasies on this company for decades. When I lived there in the early 90’s I knew some guys who had worked at PG&E for their entire careers. They were proud of how they helped build California’s infrastructure with a mix of hydro, nuclear, coal, and gas. The nukes are gone now, and the companyis floundering.
Electric distribution is one of those natural monopolies that unfortunately needs to be regulated. States with any sense keep them under control and healthy.
Or they could eliminate the monopolies by having a competitive energy generation marketplace…like Texas has.
CA first tried it in the mid-90’s. Of course they fucked it up so badly it was a colossal failure that killed in-state generators and created huge opportunities for generators to wheel in power from out of state. Wasn’t that how what’s his name (Grey?) got recalled?
“Electric distribution is one of those natural monopolies that unfortunately needs to be regulated. States with any sense keep them under control and healthy.”
Um, wut? A rather extraordinary statist assertion. Proof plz.
Your neighbor open to having a second set of utility poles and wires strung down the street for competition? Or everyone’s front yard dug up for new wiring?
The problem isn’t end of line distribution. It’s a lack of generation. In CA, you have one option. In Texas, you have dozens sending power to the substations. I think you’re wrong in where the issue lies, Drake.
If you had scores of companies providing electricity and end users able to pick who they get it from, those companies will innovate better tech to increase their profits. If you have a govt-enforced monopoly, everybody is fucked.
Same in most states. In the 90’s they started breaking the industry up into 3 components – Generation, Transmission, and Distribution. Generation was fairly well deregulated except in CA. Transmission became federally instead of state controlled (allowing you to buy generation across state lines). Distribution continued to be regulated at the local level.
Here’s the difference between TX and other places.
In TX we were burning about 2100kwh/month on average. Here in VA, we burn about 2500 on average.
For the last year in TX, we were on a plan where if you hit between 1800 and 2500, you got a substantial discount. We paid between $30 and $50/month for our electric. There were other less risky options for $75/month or so.
Here in VA, with the monopoly provider, we pay roughly $200/month for the first 2100, and an additional $50-100 for the extra electricity we use here compared to TX.
Save us Almighty Government!
You seemingly gain some efficiency by having unified monopolistic distribution. Rates would probably be higher if you had multiple companies running lines, but even that is not certain. You might well see companies arise that didn’t provide any service except line running and maintenance, whose customers would be power suppliers, cable companies etc. We have always done it this monopolistic way but I think a way could be found. Even if it involved some use of Government coercion, the railroads were private and competitive, and railroads face the same issues in terms of needing continuous track connecting start and end points.
There are companies that provide either back-up or primary generation on big sites (casinos, factories, etc.). But competition in distribution is hard to image, nobody has an appetite to re-open right-of-ways, lay down new cable, etc.
Tesla described his “system of energy transmission and of telegraphy without the use of wires” as:
(using) the Earth itself as the medium for conducting the currents, thus dispensing with wires and all other artificial conductors … a machine which, to explain its operation in plain language, resembled a pump in its action, drawing electricity from the Earth and driving it back into the same at an enormous rate, thus creating ripples or disturbances which, spreading through the Earth as through a wire, could be detected at great distances by carefully attuned receiving circuits. In this manner I was able to transmit to a distance, not only feeble effects for the purposes of signaling, but considerable amounts of energy, and later discoveries I made convinced me that I shall ultimately succeed in conveying power without wires, for industrial purposes, with high economy, and to any distance, however great.[7]

Muahahahaha I can cook your potatoes in the ground!
you shitlords must live in museums. 500 bucks? my power bills come out to 40-60 a month and I ran the AC all summer.
Are you in Commiefornia?
Maybe he lives in a coffin.
My one-bedroom goes up to about $150 a month during the summer.
No, a catbox. The avatar is a self-portrait.
Haha. it’s a decent sized 1 bedroom with high ceilings in philly. I think having central air helps. my bill was much higher in north Jersey with window AC units and floorboard heating
My whole house gets up to about a $150 electric bill in the summer (when I need to run the AC). Natural Gas bill gets up to ~$100 in the winter when I need to run the heat.
Hawaii has even more expensive power than Commiefornia. With no A/C, one person living here, and just one small modern refrigerator $300/month was common for me.
It took over three years of jumping the electric utility hoops but I finally got the permits to put on solar panels. Since then I have paid only the $25/ hook up fee. When the prices come down I’ll put in the battery pack and tell the electric company to fuck off.

But if the power company is allowed to prune the trees along the power lines, it will ruin my viewscape! I want to pretend all this modern technology happens by magic.
There’s some entertaining trees in my neighborhood that appear to have been planted right before the power lines were strung through. So with the constant trimming and such, the trees grew up either lopsided, or with a trunk that branches into a big Y with the power lines going down the middle. I missed getting a good picture after the last trimming trucks went through though, it looked like a box was sent down the power lines cutting 90 degree angles into every tree with branches near the power lines.
Had those on a street where I previously lived. They were maple trees and by the time I had moved into the neighborhood they were all starting to die from the constant over-trimming. When they get to that point they are very prone to coming down during a storm and knocking out power.
These have been standing for 20-30 years like that at this point, most of the maples and oaks near power lines were taken down. My lot somehow avoided these issues, and has two oaks and three maple trees on it.
helicopter + gang of chainsaws = getting sh*t done
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5t06LbvE3CI
Wichita Lineman FTW!
I have those on the street I live on. A bunch of Y-shaped pines on one property. The power company seems to not care to trim, as we have had several outages from huge oak branches falling on lines. There are still several lines at risk among the 4 streets that make up our “neighborhood group”.
Back in my power company days, we got to the point of telling people which of their neighbors were responsible for their unreliable power. That often resulted in permission to remove or trim the really troublesome trees.
When my folks bought their land in Allamakee County, we were the first family to build in our valley since before the Civil War, so obviously, no power lines. Dad went to the county and then to whoever the hell provided electricity to find out what the criteria were.
We had to:
1) Obtain permission from all landowners between us and the state highway, about five miles, to clear trees along the roadway where the power pines would go. This wasn’t hard as it was all cornfields and creek-bottom, and the landowners didn’t much care as long as their planting wasn’t encroached on and cattle could still graze.
2) Remove all of said trees. One of them was a cottonwood with a trunk almost six feet through. When it fell into the field, it drove limbs into the ground so deep we couldn’t pull them out with the tractor. Also when it fell, Mom felt the ground shake at the house, over a mile away.
When this was done, the power company ran poles and lines down from the highway. We then had to:
3) Wire the house, and run wiring out to the final pole.
4) Arrange for a county inspector to come out and look at the house wiring, the tool shed wiring, and the wiring run out to the road.
Only then did some tech come out and spend five minutes on the power pole connecting the two parts up.
We had gone two years there with no electricity. I still remember how cool it was when, that evening, Mom, Dad, my brother, his wife and I were standing in the house, and Mom flipped the light switch in the kitchen. Let there be light!
Best of all, it allowed me to run a long series of drop cords down to the creek and use Dad’s electric fence generator to shock the big corner pool and shovel all the carp and chubs out into the cornfield.
You don’t miss power until its gone. I worked for years in some primitive camp conditions and when the juice went out you just went to sleep.

“Bulgarian”
Years ago, when I was stationed in Germany, I lived in a “Residenz” run by a little Greek guy named George who had a Polish girlfriend. He spoke Greek, English and German; she spoke German, Polish and Russian. So he talked to her in German, and would translate to English for those of us whose Sprechen Sie was inadequate.
One evening as a bunch of folks were sitting around gassing over great German beers, I described to her, through George, about the phenomenon in various places of telling jokes at the expense of Polish folks; my own mild-mannered father was known to tell the occasional Polack joke. She knew of that practice and found it mildly amusing.
So I asked her, through George, who they made jokes about in Poland. I didn’t need a translation to understand her answer:
“Oh! Russians!”
Was it this one? Nice! ??
Not so much. The Army wasn’t going to spring for that. It was actually this one. Still pretty nice.

When asked about how he would fight hate crimes against LGBT people, Biden advocated for three things: passing the Equality Act, monitoring groups that are similar to terrorist groups, and reinterpreting federal civil rights law to prevent discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity — an issue currently before the Supreme Court.
Biden’s second proposal should terrify conservative Christians. He essentially advocated adopting the “hate group” monitoring of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), an organization that accuses conservative and Christian organizations of being “hate groups” and lists them alongside the Ku Klux Klan.
“What we had before to deal with hate crimes was we had a position in our administration, within both the Department of Justice as well as within Homeland Security, a provision to keep watch on these groups that we know are out there —like terrorist groups, they’re similar — that we know are out there, to be able to follow — without violating their First Amendment rights — to be able to follow what they’re doing and follow up on threats that come forward,” Biden said.
Uh huh…
Did I go into a coma and recover somewhere in the dystopian future? Now, I’m just a simple working man but this shit-talk from the Democrat candidates “scares” and “confuses” me.
Yeah. Me too. The bigotry is incredible.
and reinterpreting federal civil rights law to prevent discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity
Fuck you, motherfucker. Write a new goddamn law instead of just twisting a plainly-written statute into what you wish it were so you could avoid doing your fucking job.
Say something like “Amend the Constitution” and they all scurry like roaches when the kitchen light get switched on.
I got into a conversation with someone who said the Constitution had to be treated as a living document because it’s too hard to amend.
What they want is for the supreme law of the land to be adjustable to whatever appears to be mildly popular at the time.

Hell no! We do not need any more infringements of the right of association. We can be decent and tolerant of one another without giving up fundamental rights.

Global Chick-Fil-A Death Count Climbs To 0
While previous years saw counts averaging 0 and sometimes going in the negative as Chick-fil-A employees saved the lives of their customers, this year the count has skyrocketed to 0. Critics are claiming the company’s strong and pervasive culture of hate is contributing to the expanding number of deaths.
“Chick-fil-A is poisoning our cities, killing people by the zeros,” said Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. “We do not welcome hate in our country, and neither should any other countries, eh?”
He then had to go address a 76th blackface photo that had emerged.
Reporters and journalists have demanded an answer from Chick-fil-A, but so far spokespeople have only responded with, “My pleasure.”
I am sure fried chicken is sufficiently bad for health to have a deathcount
Obviously you have not had Chik-fil-A!
Well it can be bad for your health to try and consume 5 lbs of chicken tenders at one sitting.
Pretty sure, we may need to test this.
Obviously. I had kfc though
The two are not even close to being similar.
Yes, that is a lot more lethal.
That “My pleasure” meme was sick-funny and I laughed and laughed.
I think I was almost #1.
We go to CFA A LOT. We have like 40,000+ “points” on the app. Every Wednesday night after church, about 25-30 of our friends go, and its our kids’ main social activity every single week.
Anyway, when Chick-Fil-A sauce came out a few years ago, I liked it a lot. Probably too much. Used to joke about it being CFA pudding you could eat with a spoon (didn’t really, though). After a coupla years of this, I noticed that I started having hives and trouble breathing every Wednesday night. Kept getting worse. I did some exclusion experiments and figured out that I was having allergic reactions to CFA sauce. Tried to see how little I could eat without starting to have breathing difficulty, but eventually the answer was “stop it, dummy”. So I did.
Still go all the time, just skip the pudding.
That story reminded me of this recent article:

Trump Reminds Everyone There’s Nothing Impeachable About Him Burning Down An IHOP
“Yeah, I burnt down an IHOP. Who cares?” Trump told the press. “Where’s the crime? How are they going to impeach me over that?” Trump went on to explain that when the Founding Fathers wrote the Constitution, they never envisioned someone being impeached over burning down an IHOP, as IHOPs did not exist in the 18th century.
To further show he had nothing to hide, Trump released the security footage from the IHOP. It shows Trump getting enraged that the IHOP ran out of blueberry syrup and then fashioning and throwing a molotov cocktail. The video ends with him laughing maniacally as the place burns around him. “It’s just a video of someone getting breakfast,” Trump said about the footage. “What are the Democrats going to impeach me for? Liking berry-flavored syrup? That’s the do-nothing Democrats for you.”…
Nancy Pelosi has announced the House will start an impeachment inquiry into Trump’s burning down an IHOP, but perhaps sensing that’s rather thin, she says they are adding other frivolous charges to the inquiry, such as when Trump drove a presidential limo into a Taco Bell.
Paging the Hat and the Hair…Hat and Hair, to the red courtesy phone please.
Those guys are relentless! I haven’t seen a single take from them that hasn’t evoked at least a sensible chuckle.
“No. Nor has our record of human rights abuses come up either,” he said after a reporter asked if he had been questioned about Chinese human rights while in China. “People in China didn’t ask me about, you know, people owning AR-15s and mowing each other down in a mall.”
Wow.
What a little shit Steve Kerr is.
It is pretty impressive. This whole affair is sure ripping off a lot of masks.
I thought his father was some sort of ambassador during the Clinton admin so I’m not surprised about any of his statist blathering.
He picks a bushel of statism in the Chinese patch and spreads it ’round the American pasture and then we have just the right amount of autocrats and safety for everyone!
The false equivalency attempt is absolutely staggering. Yeh, shootings by private citizens who do it for whatever reasons is totes the same as the GOVERNMENT of China committing an endless stream of human rights abuses. Totes.
What a fuckhead.
You guys don’t get it. Steve Kerr is saying all those shootings (and other human rights abuses) would be fine if it was done by the government.
Its certainly shown what folk are actually “brave”

Last night I explained to my wife we never really defeated communism while Marxism (rebranding itself as socialism) merely slithered past WW2. Yes, we ‘won’ the military war but the spread of the idea kept going in the form of the U.S.S.R and of course the various Western forms of communist parties most notably in France and Italy. There may not have been a UK commie party but it manifested itself more in academic circles and spilled into ‘Labor’ and ‘Democrat socialist’ parties.
Ironically, they became stronger than ever having infiltrated major institutions. Hayek and Soltzhenitsyn did a good job explaining how that works. We also saw it with those three academics who got SJW gibberish articles publishes in peer reviewed academic journals. Heck, you even have four women in Congress proudly showing their far left creds in CONGRESS. I see The Squad +1 (Warren) as this coming full circle.
Not a good situation.

The technology sector’s global conquest rests partly on its total unconcern for the real-world impact of its products and services. Tesla beta-tests its “autopilot” semiautonomous mode on public roads because it can get away with doing so. Google Maps and Waze optimize for the fastest trip, no matter what effect those routes might have on traffic or safety. Amazon has evaded responsibility for damages, injuries, and deaths caused by its delivery network by presenting it as arm’s-length contractors, even as the retail giant imposes pressure to increase the speed and volume of distribution. Technology firms cover their exposure to risk the same way they create it: through willful ignorance.
Public safety protects the public—a collectivity worth shielding. It is a shared effort that begets a shared benefit. Some technological innovations, such as automobiles with lane-departure warnings or automatic emergency braking, help owners of the equipment along with those who surround them. But tech in the sense of Silicon Valley Big Tech has subtly rewritten our conception of the public. The industry has undoubtedly improved people’s individual, private lives—that’s the business model. But it has not necessarily benefited their communal ones. The vision of the future that firms such as Uber, Amazon, and Facebook have grown rich selling is a decidedly individualist one: Get a ride just for you, wherever you are, via Uber. Receive almost any product tomorrow, without leaving home, from Amazon. Hear from only the people and groups you choose on Facebook. Technology products can improve health and safety, but largely at the personal level: carrying a cellphone for emergencies, or wearing a fitness tracker to motivate regular exercise. Solving one’s own problems can de-escalate interest in solving communal ones. This libertarian individualism also grips the big-tech companies themselves, which pursue their private aspirations no matter the public cost.
Toxic individualism strikes again!
Technology is killing us.
Get a ride just for you, wherever you are, via Uber. Receive almost any product tomorrow, without leaving home, from Amazon
You know you can actually get products for others on Amazon. I bought a friend of mine who was having a rough patch a water pump so he could fix his car and keep his job. I did this, while on vacation, pulled over in a S Dakota rest area, from my phone, and he had the part the next day, delivered to his door. Fuck anyone who wants to take this ability away.
Ooooh for the bucolic 19th century days of Sears Roebuck and Montgomery Ward.
Related: several governmental agencies have propped up the redevelopment of a Sears warehouse in Memphis after 30 years of cobwebs. It’s modestly successful, but none of this would not have happened except for the cronyism and tax dollars.
Meanwhile, Amazon is being granted tax abatements to install the contemporary version in the same county. But only a fraction of the jobs created will be filled by county taxpayers.
The brave new world looks a lot like the old world, except with cronybucks.
WTF? So FedEx, UPS, and the FedGov Post Office don’t have insurance or pay gas taxes?
Oh, deep pockets for Amazon, less so for the first 2 I mentioned.
I don’t think ANYONE has deeper pockets than USPS but they are likely harder to nail for tort.
Didn’t the Trump administration have a hand in the Eritrea-Ethiopia peace talks that helped get the President of Ethiopia that peace ribbon from the Nobelians?
If they did, Trump will be taking credit for it by noon. And rubbing Greta’s nose in it, obviously. Which should be good to get the outrage mob lathered up.
I’d rather him pile on the NBA’s pandering to China though. I really want the left to embrace that regime of sociopaths a little more. For the lulz.
God help me Sloop, it really has come down to the lulz at this point. I remember people freaking out over Nixon and pulling their hair out over Bush but this is unprecedented. The sheer agony. The appeals to emotion. I don’t know my Grand-kids very well but I hope that their parents are steering them in the right direction. They’re all solid middle to upper-middle class people so fingers crossed, I suppose.

OT – Part of our wonderful Rockaway peninsula contains a sizable Eastern European contingent, particularly Poles. Consequently, one of the local supermarkets has a stupendous selection of Polish beer. I’m enjoying a delicious Zywiec 1881 Porter Beer right now. It’s very dry and crisp but nice and burnt chocolatey; 9.5% ABV, and 500ml for $1.50 – will drink again.
Hey Rufus, Wednesday, we went up to The Museum Of The Moving Image. They have a big Jim Henson exhibit that includes (amongst many AMAZING things) the actual Roosevelt Franklin.
I used to live near there. Fun place.
Yeah, I bitch about NYC quite a bit but I do really love (what remains) of the wildly different neighborhood flavors.
I just meant the museum. The neighborhood was kind of a dump. 🙂
(I used to call it “the other side of the tracks of Astoria”.)
The museum is great, I could spend hours with the audio recording equipment alone. But yeah, it’s so not like that anymore. Both Sesame Street and the various Law & Order iterations have their home stages across the street at Kaufman Astoria Studios so the immediate neighborhood is all boutique restauranty stuff geared towards them.
I lived about a mile due north of the museum, literally across the tracks. It’s still a dump there. The closer you get to the East River around there, the dumpier it gets.
Speaking of places called Astoria, how the ever-loving fuck did One-Eyed Willy convince his entire crew to sail down the SA coast, through the Strait of Magellan, then go all the way up the Pacific to Oregon and put in inside a cave just to hide his treasure?
No way would pirates have accepted that. No fucking way.

I read a story about how when Steve Kerr was in college his dad, who was a college professor, was killed in Beirut for trying to bridge the divide between Christians, Muslims, and Druids in Lebanon. It’s too bad that the lesson that Kerr learned from that is “be on the side of the murderer”.
Druids? You mean Druze?
Haha…that is the second time in two days that I have made that mistake. My God, I’m an idiot.
To be fair, though, it would be more impressive if he went back in time to bring peace between the Druids and the pagan Romans
Crucified? or burned in wicker?
Both – it was a glorious display of unity before the fighting resumed.
No. Druids adds that certain je ne sais quoi that really makes TGA’s comment “pop”.

When you “both sides” the NC law to allow private businesses to decide their own pee pee policy and China running REEDUCATION CAMPS.
FTA:
“Yes. The NBA deserves the finger wagging coming its way. But protests like McCrory’s have all the moral certitude of a speeder who’s mad because the cop didn’t pull over another speeder. Is the NBA inconsistent with its outrage? Probably. Does that absolve Republicans, including McCrory, of policies that NBA players speak out against? No.
What it does is remind us that we’re all a little hypocritical with the stands we take. We fuss about climate change but shrug at electric vehicles. We drive past Chick-Fil-A because the CEO supported anti-LGBTQ groups, yet put our money in banks with histories of discriminatory lending. Or, we frown with Franklin Graham at Target’s LGBTQ-friendly policies, yet post our family photos on Facebook, an equally pro-LGBTQ company.”
This is wokism in its pure unadulterated form.
A bullshit ideology meant to absolve white liberals of being terrible people.
Not wanting adult men to be pissing along side little girls is totes the same as imprisoning millions for religion and/or political dissent.
What are you, some kind of Nazi?
I bet those re-education camps don’t even have gender-neutral bathrooms!
‘Cause they don’t have bathrooms. Problem solved!
“This side of the ditch is for men, that side is for women! Get it right!”
The men dig the ditch while the women lie on their backs under the guards.
Except the uggos. They’re for bayonet practice.
Who in the fuck has time for this? Seriously. Live your life! Fuck! Fight! Fuck again! Nobody cares!
That sounds like a very unhealthy relationship.
Relationship? The Fight happens when the hitchhiker tries to escape the cellar.
Sounds like my first marriage. Well, except for the “Fuck” part.
Same except a “hate-fuck’ is an actual thing. *thousand-yard stare*
And… I’m out.
That’s unadulterated BS.
Most of the Ls I know don’t like the idea of men in their bathrooms. I have less knowledge of how the Gs feel. I assume the Bs go both ways about it. 9/10 of the Ts probably oppose the law, and we all know what Q is doing in the women’s locker room!
It’s not even a matter of what people feel comfortable with. It’s the fact that all the law did was say “private businesses can make their own bathroom decisions” in response to Charlotte mandating pee pee policies on private business.
I agree with your larger point, but that is not all the law did.
but in no event shall that accommodation result in the local boards of education allowing a student to use a multiple occupancy bathroom or changing facility designated under subsection (b) of this section for a sex other than the student’s biological sex.
in no event shall that accommodation result in the public agency allowing a person to use a multiple occupancy bathroom or changing facility designated under subsection (b) of this section for a sex other than the person’s biological sex.
The law did require people to use the bathroom that corresponded with their sex in public facilities. So, yeah, you’re right that the law did more than allow private businesses to regulate their own bathroom policies. And that part of the law is problematic, but it also was the status quo. There was no prior law that allowed people to use whatever bathroom they wanted to in public facilities in North Carolina.
I just can’t believe that white liberals are trying to “both sides” pee pee policies against genocide.
Public facility usage is fair game for legislation. Private is not.
There’s nothing stopping the school systems and municipalities form creating single occupancy multi-gender facilities.
Oh, I’m not even saying it is problematic. I think it is incredibly unfair to women to NOT have women only bathrooms and I do not believe Transgenderism is anything but a paraphilia, or sometimes a mental illness. I’m not even really calling you in particular out. I’m just down on talking point arguments after examining some things I have said myself, that were based on a shallow understanding of an issue. Everyone does this, but it isn’t a good practice.
Not my point at all Scruffy.
And that part of the law is problematic,
I don’t think so. In fact, I think current Civil Rights laws prohibit allowing biological men into women’s bathrooms (and vice versa) because allowing it has a disproproportionate impact on women, and because current Civil Rights laws refer only to sex, not to gender identity. Congress to date has refused to amend the law to refer to gender identity or sexual preference.
Of course that hasn’t stopped the administrative state from just writing and enforcing whatever the fuck rules it wants. But those are ultra vires, and thus void ab initio.
I don’t care myself. But a lot of people – mostly women – do. I find it amazing that women are getting thrown under the bus with issue after issue and hardly anyone’s talking about it.
They’re primarily getting thrown under the bus by other women, specifically twenty something singles and middle-aged to elderly hippies.
The backlash is going to be something to behold.

No soap for you!
In a few years, you’ll no longer be able to rely on hotels in California for those travel-size bottles of shampoo and lotion.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill Wednesday that bans hotels from supplying such bottles in an effort to reduce the number of plastic containers being thrown away by hotels and guests.
The bill, set to take effect in 2023, will apply to lodging establishments with more than 50 rooms. Hotels with less than 50 rooms must stop using the tiny bottles by 2024.
This would not impact hospitals, nursing homes, residential retirement communities, prisons, jails or homeless shelters, according to the bill.
It is well known that the progressives’ invisible sky-mommy hates clean people.
They’ll probably ban latex gloves next. Goodbye modern medicine.
Or all plastic in the operating room.
It’s been 2 decades since I’ve seen latex gloves in a medical setting. Theyyvinyl now, because of latex allergies.
Heck, I visited a doctor’s office with a large sign forbidding balloons because of latex and the possibility someone might be allergic. That was 97 IIRC
Alternatives to latex gloves started showing up around 1992, maybe earlier. But I couldn’t guess when latex was no longer available.
No soap, no light, no gasoline, not a single luxury. Like kulaks in the gulags, as primitive as can be.
The enlightened ones will of course get to keep all those things.
How can you expect them to save the world without modern technology?
Qlligan!

Dude, I get the “sunshine tax” thing, but at a certain point no amount of nice weather is going to make California an attractive place to live or visit if they keep going down this path.
We passed that point long ago.
I can’t envision any scenario in which I will set foot in CA.
I’ll probably go back to visit in the next year or so since I lived out there for quite a while, but I’m glad I left.
My BIL and his family live in San Diego, so we’ll go out to visit some time, but that’s the extent of my interest. I lived in Escondido for about a year after high school and yeah, the weather is beautiful and it’s a neat part of the world. On the other hand, I can get a house and property for a fifth of the price in places that I like just as much AND can own firearms AND don’t have the likes of Gavin Newsom breathing down my neck.
Y’all are going to visit CA, but with no soap, no gas, no lights….?
Bring Levis.
When I was job hunting 11 years ago and again 6 years ago, there were a handful of states I redlined, including CA and NY. And those states have a large number of in-house jobs that I would have been interested in.
Back in the Big Dump of ’08, Mrs. Dean and I did a little TEOTWAKI planning and visited Panama as a potential exit from the US. Just the nicest people ever, but still pretty third world, so we didn’t buy. There was one property that was a little too expensive that I was mightily tempted by in Boquete that had views of both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
Oddly, she brought it up again a few weeks ago. That was kind of a canary in the coal mine moment for me. I’m now thinking its not just me, things are probably building to a head.
I’ve heard Costa Rica is a good location along those same lines. Pretty good government for the region in that there’s not a lot of corruption and they mostly leave you alone, and the economy is decent. Pretty place to live, too, because you get a combo of the Caribbean vibe but also some jungle and a little bit of mountain, too.
Also, depending on how TEOTWAKI it gets, Nicaragua is right next door, and while the country itself might be a mess every Nicaraguan woman I’ve ever seen in person (which is an admittedly small number) has been an absolute smokeshow.
My husband is from LA and he would never go back.
I was born there (we moved to Ohio when I was 3) and I used to think it would be so cool to move back, but not since I became an adult. Insane taxes, ridiculously expensive housing, and severely curtailed gun rights? No thanks.
People think I’m silly for refusing to live there just because of the political situation, but these things affect my quality of life. And the positive things people bring up are either things that I can get here, or things that I’m not really interested in at all.
I’ll stay right here with my cheap and spacious house, a fenced backyard, minimal traffic, never having to pay for parking, low taxes, virtually nonexistent crime, and relatively strong gun rights.
Just wait until they lower the voting age to 16, or whatever the
appropriatewoke age is. Then the real fun starts!El Salvador is sunny and has beaches too.
See how many people are flocking there?
Isn’t that the origin point of MS-13?
I thought Costa Rica was the preferred Central American shitlord exit destination?
There’s a handful. Panama is very expat friendly (at least, last I checked) and has a pretty good expat community. Because it goes from beaches to mountains in pretty short order, you can dial in your preferred micro-climate.
It is noticably lacking in well-cooled taiga.
Chile if you have the money, Costa Rica if you don’t. Dictators are not all created equal. Argentina was Switzerland speaking Spanish before their dictators, and is now a wreck. Chile was on its way to becoming a wreck before Pinochet, and is now Switzerland speaking Spanish.
Interesting. One thing about Panama is that it is stunningly beautiful. You get above Boquete, and there are rainbows everywhere.
If we had had the money, we probably would have bought that lot with views of both oceans. Probably one of very few in the entire world.
I can’t take year round heat. I have heard good things about Panama, and the expats supposedly are mostly Vets, so likely more politically and socially compatible, but it is just too hot.
I can’t take year round heat.

Remember, the primary source of human prosperity is our capacity to reason, and it is prosperity that displeases gaia more than anything else.
The only thought that runs thru their shriveled minds is how they can spin any vote or legislation as an example of their virtue. Consequences be damned.
The big wall-mounted dispensers that a lot of hotel chains have already switched to, probably.
To be honest, they’re probably more practical and save hotels money. But I don’t need the government legislating this kind of shit. Not to mention, many small hotels will have a hard time making the investment. Especially once we all find out Newsom’s brother is the owner of the company that’s the sole provider licensed by the state to sell them. (That last part is just an educated guess based on the graft I’ve seen by political families.)
I’ve mentioned this before, but my great fear is the second order effect the folk who want to ban plastics haven’t thought through. The alternative to shipping consumer-end liquids in plastic is shipping them in metal or glass. How much more fuel will need to be burned to compensate for the increased shipping weight of millions of items across the globe?
Paper cartons, waxed if you are lucky. Spoilage and spillage will skyrocket, but eventually we will get everything back to locale production and we can go get our liquids in our own pitcher just as Gaia wants!
A laundry detergent factory in every neighborhood, or, more likely, back to beating laundry on rocks. Hell, it’s only been scant decades since the only products on the market were multi-use detergents; Rinso was for dishes, laundry, and the bath until about WWII. These Luddites would drag us back. Harrumph I say, harrumph!
back to beating laundry on rocks
As long as those rocks aren’t in a body of water.
I’ve been in a couple of hotels that have had refillable pump style dispensers in the showers.
Bulk dispensers with shampoo and body wash. Like in the cheapest hotels.
Prell for everyone!

Doin’ right ain’t got no end
California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill Wednesday that bans hotels from supplying such bottles in an effort to reduce the number of plastic containers being thrown away by hotels and guests.
——-
If a hotel in California doesn’t comply with the ban, its owners and operators could be subject to monetary fines. On the first violation, a written warning will be given along with a $500 fine for each day the lodging establishment is in violation, according to the bill. Any second or subsequent violations would result in a $2,000 fine.
Assembly Member Ash Kalra of San Jose co-authored the bill, known as AB 1162. Kalra has said small plastic bottles under 12 ounces cause a sizable amount of waste and believes his law will help reduce the problem.
The legislation comes at a time when many cities and companies are moving to ban single-use plastics such as water bottles in airports, straws and grocery bags.
California has been at the forefront of bans on single-use plastics and became the first state to ban plastic bags in 2014. New York state also moved to do the same with plastic bags last month and is now looking to prohibit hotel plastics with a bill sponsored by New York Sen. Todd Kaminsky.
Thanks, California.

Ole Miss: sensitive since 1962
Ole Miss officials are asking students to be sensitive when making Halloween costume choices this year. . . The letter comes after an Ole Miss honors student self-reported to the Bias Incident Response Team that he posed in blackface on a social media account. . . That student is now going through the school’s “restorative justice process,” allowing him to engage with groups impacted by the post. . . The letter also reminds students that social media posts are never private, and that irony and sarcasm do not come across as intended online.
self-reported
restorative justice process,
These phrases are scarier to me than any monster.
allowing him to engage with groups impacted by the post
The Cultural Revolution is upon us. Somewhere, Mao is smiling.

I understand these words separately but not together. It’s along the lines of “Mayors Against Illegal Guns”. Wtf does that mean?
to be sensitive when making Halloween costume choices
I guess a duo with one dressed as a Klansman and the other as a black guy is out.
For extra points, have a black person in the Klan costume and white person in blackface. A transgressive inversion of stereotypes and structural oppression!
Snopes rates this “mostly true”.
That somebody can be stupid enough to self-report as a racist and still be an honors student doesn’t speak well of Ole Miss.

That bit with Fredo is hilarious, but also very telling. I mean, honestly, that’s the real mask slipping. For all the lip service about pronouns and othering the differently-gendered or whatever, everyone knows it’s a joke. It’s all bullshit, and the game is to pretend it isn’t in order to set traps for your political foes. But at the end of the day Fredo’s not letting his kid go to Drag Queen Daycare or calling anyone Xe.
So much this.
And Biden running up to Anderson Cooper after their little “coming out” play-act. What in the ever-loving fuck.
All the climate protests… women’s marches… this crap… it’s all fun and games.
It’s not even a joke. It’s really just an excuse to bully people. I’ve noticed any number of times that the people who use the whole “they/them” pronoun game always refer to themselves as “I”. It’s about making you accept something that he or she knows him or herself is ludicrous and is even flaunting it in your face.

Legendary Cosmonaut Alexei Leonov, the First Person to Walk in Space, Dies at 85
https://www.space.com/cosmonaut-alexei-leonov-first-spacewalker-dies-at-85.html
A sad reminder that our species has lost its way. Should we not have expanded to the stars by now?
Low earth orbit is 1200 miles
The nearest star is 25 trillion miles
It’s the difference between a mortgage payment and the total federal debt.
We could have at least had moon bases and mars colonies by now.
I thought the nearest star is 150 million kilometers give or take
yes, someone has to be that guy
*pedantic applause*
Sigh… a boy can dream. Seriously, if we grant the premise that the state is gonna state and tax/spend individual’s work product, I think a great deal of blood and treasure has been wasted on NOT trying harder. Is a Moon base too much to ask? Or a more efficient way to harvest Sol’s energy on the other side of the atmosphere (full disclosure – l0b0t is a college drop-out, a drinker, and often muggled so has no idea if solar radiation works like that)?
I hate to stomp on your optimism, but how would a moon base not devolve into the same statist shithole we have here?
I think if history is anything to go by, an exploratory, homesteading frontier might be the only environment in which the freedom I truly desire for humanity can flourish.

What does that have to do with Islamic Terror?

Why is the solution always another agency? When I buy something and it doesn’t do what I want I don’t go buy another one.
When you live your life under the surface of a swamp, you can’t think above the pond scum.
When the Bush admin created the Department of Homeland Security, I distinctly remember some Leftist relatives raging over it and saying things like:
– “It doesn’t do anything that’s not already done by other agencies”
– “In most cases it’s just creating another layer of bureaucracy and actually making it harder to fight terrorism”
– “It’s just another way for the government to control us”
Now, I fear, they would applaud the creation of the federal “hate crimes” department.
And then Trump gets the new agency created as a sub-dept in DHS.

I remember, in real time, when CNN decided that an ISIS attack on a gay night club was actually the fault of Christians. I think conservative lawmakers were grilled more during that time than the Obama administration that was literally arming ISIS in Syria at that time.
What a disgrace.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkSUE7esjG8
Never forget. It’s everyone’s fault, but Islamists or white liberals.
The Orlando shooter picked the gay night club by accident. He tried other establishments first but they appeared to have better security. And no, he had not visited that gay club before. There was an article in the Intercept that covered it.
Yeah, I remember that. I’m just saying that CNN turned the fault on Christians in real time. It was beyond bizarre. Look at the link above of Anderson Cooper grilling Pam Bondi for mourning the tragedy while not supporting gay marriage. It was a bizarre disjointed argument that underscored the inherent bigotry that the corporate press has toward some.
Anderson Cooper: I see that you don’t like people getting murdered
Pam Bondi: Um…yeah. That’s correct
Anderson Cooper: Even gays? You don’t like gays getting murdered?
Pam Bondi: Um…yeah. Humans should not be killed. I’m sorry where is this going?
Anderson Cooper: Oh, I’m just pointing out that you’re a hypocrite for not wanting gays to be murdered, but opposing gay marriage

Forgive me for hearkening back to last night’s post, but @Naptown Bill said a wall of text I can now digest and there were other comments while I was sleeping.
That said, which I purposely did not say in the article or the comments, I have come to a conclusion that is MOSTLY satisfying but perhaps a tidge convoluted. I’m still not 100% sure, and though it does make sense to me, but it still leaves God in the “not actually all-powerful after all” situation I am unwilling to think of him in.
However, @Michael, my co-religionist, offered that maybe God is not all-powerful in that he has to obey certain laws of physics. I can get on board with that.
@Naptown Bill made an excellent and well-thought-out comment, which struck me deeply. He ended with
That is where my mother stands on the issue.
@invisible finger said
@salted earth said
Exactly so!
My question is, “Why can’t the Deity grant it himself?” This assumes that the Deity is all-powerful.
The consensus seems to be that we, as sinners, cannot stand in God’s presence without the protection of Christ because we will blow up like Humperdoo in Preacher.
I said once that Dogma was the most spiritually uplifting movie I have ever seen. In that, God grants the angels mercy and love without an intercessor. But they are angels, used to being in God’s presence, so it’s not analogous. (That has nothing to do with anything except I like movies and TV shows that explore the nature of God instead of ignoring his existence.)
@invisible finger
His being executed for the crime of challenging the authority of the Pharisees and Saducees, while not being an entirely foreseeable event, did effect his death. It was the mechanism by which it came out. I can appreciate the rabblerouser Jesus, the one who cleared the moneychangers out of the temple with a whip.
Anyway, I want to sincerely thank everyone who read and/or also participated last night. I didn’t expect such a discussion before Q stepped in with tits and I was more than pleasantly surprised to be indulged so.
You all are great.
PS, Thank you @Mike S for the Steely Dan links. I know that was difficult for you. Thanks to @Chafed for my beloved Mötley Crüe. ?
“I didn’t expect such a discussion before Q stepped in with tits”
That always takes priority
Wasn’t it Moses who said: “Tits are proof that God loves us, and wants us to be happy!”?
I believe Moses said: “Ti…ti…ti…ts a…a…ar….are pr..pr…pr…proof th…th…th..”
To which the Israelites said: “What the fuck is Moses trying to say? Aaron can you translate?”
To which Aaron replied: “Moses said- ‘look at dem Egyption titays'”
OK!
Egyptians are some of the most beautiful people in the world.
I hate to harsh your buzz, but the people living in Egypt now are probably no more closely related to the Egyptians of then than Warren is to the Americans of then.
You know who else is beautiful, and egypt-oriented?

“I hate to harsh your buzz, but the people living in Egypt now are probably no more closely related to the Egyptians of then than Warren is to the Americans of then.”
I am well aware of that. But, that’s part of the reason why they are so hot. All the Mediterranean people melded together in Egypt from Alexander the Great until Nassar (when he started kicking out foreigners).
You take a little Greek, mix it with a little Roman, throw in a dash of Arab, stir in all together and you get hotties
Tasty.
While there’s obviously been some ethnic intermingling in the region over the past two thousand years or so we can glean some idea of what “native” Egyptians looked like and how much of that phenotype is still in the region based on stuff like skeletal analysis, art, and references from pre-Alexander Egypt. They didn’t disappear or anything. Still, the region has always been something of a melting pot because of trade and the fluctuation of boundaries, invasions, etc., so it’s a moving target at best and of pretty much no actual importance.
Yes, but then he followed up with. “THE FUCK? I leave you assholes alone for a couple months and you start worshiping veal? seriously veal? No tits! Ladies put your damn tops on NOW, or I’m bringing back the locusts!”
“Tits are proof that God loves us, and wants us to be happy!”
That’s how I took it.
I read your article last night, so excuse me if I misrepresent it.
My question is: how can you be certain that your concept of justice aligns with God’s notion of justice? As in, what you find to be unjust, God might view it differently?
That is a good question that has lingered at the back of my mind, but only as a wisp of something to contemplate later.
I think the gnostics had a point with an imperfect god for the material and a perfect one beyond the spiritual or some such hippie crap
I was sleeping – well there ain’t no rest for the wicked, so you must be one of the good people
Reminds me of one of the rabbis in A Serious Man: “We all want the answers! But Hashem doesn’t owe us the answer, Larry. Hashem doesn’t owe us anything. The obligation runs the other way.”
??
I like movies and TV shows that explore the nature of God
I contend that a prominent effect of organized religion is the stifling of that exploration.
I just now saw this comment. You are so correct! I “know” the things I think about/watch/write are “irreverent” bordering on “blasphemy” if not outright “heresy”, but I don’t do it mockingly. I might be questioning or resentful or angry or confused, but I do not mock.
